I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Did Michonne join before Sasha? I can't remember that far back.

She was in the show way early, but was all aloof and poo poo.

Michonne joined basically an ep or two before. She has been around for longer though. She was with andrea all winter. Sasha joined up around the time Glenn and Maggie were merlenapped. Michonne brought the baby formula that they were scavenging.

Michonne was stuck with lame Andrea for a while and in Woodbury, she was on the show longer but I think joined the group around the same time or after Sasha maybe. She was shown in the closing scenes of the season 2 finale.

I couldn't hear the conversation between the two Alexandrians right before one of them runs off and leaves the other trapped on a sharp object. Then I couldn't hear the conversation between Glenn and the Alexandrian that was left behind. Can anyone help please?

The Douche McGee told Aiden something like "This isn't us, we don't rescue" or something like that. Aiden told Glenn something like "it was us, we were the ones who lost it, the people who died were calm but we deserted them".

Kill Maggie then. She has far less of an arc than Noah did and it would make more sense.

I'm surprised somebody hasn't killed her already just because of her lovely accent.

I think that was the best episode of Walking Dead ever. The whole story moved along so fast, we found out more about a bunch of characters and it got everyone hyped for the confrontation that's gonna happen next. It was great.

This episode owned. Good character driven plot, punctuated by awesome gore effects and Abe loving destroying zombies with a mace. And when people acted stupid, it was actually part of the story and shown as stupid, instead of just bad writing making people stupid!

This show has had really good episodes before(the pilot and Clear), but they were stand-alone stories. This was the first really great episode that's part of the ongoing story.

Guys, what if this show becomes consistently unironically good?

I really liked this episode, especially the revolving door scene because for once it was a clever idea for a scene without being completely contrived. They are in control of the situation but then one of them fucks up and everything goes to poo poo and they start making bad calls. Reminds me of that midnight GTA session Glen had few episodes ago with the blood red lights. Pretty creative I think.

The other end of the spectrum would be the infamous 360 van flip scene, which while a cool idea, was really contrived and poorly executed. But I think it is best to not talk about that any further.

He went to talk to Deanna and talked about how Satan disguises himself as an angel of light and Rick's group is made up entirely of hitlerdemons. Maggie was listening. Then Carol went to Rick and told him to kill the kid's dad because he's an abuser

Why would he do that? That seems really random all of a sudden.

He's projecting. He's the awful one, he's the one who betrayed and did terrible things to people. It's basically him doing that thing where you ask an awkward question, "you know, for a friend."

Yeah, he can't live in a world where people know what he's done. He sees Alexandria as an eden and knows he wants to stay there. To stay there, they need to believe he's a saintly priest. Or at least for him to be able to keep his sanity, he needs them to think that. So he's backstabbing Rick & Co to try to get them all out and leave him there to start a new life.

This show really does have a habit of doing a bunch of character stuff for the black guys right before they get killed (Oscar, T-Dog, Bob, Tyreese, Noah). It's uncanny.

He wasn't just projecting, he was also inadvertently talking about Alexandria.He goes on and on about the devil looking like a good thing, the same episode is all about how the apparently perfect Alexandria has a standing rule that if anybody so much as stubs their toe you leave them to die, and the doctor beats his wife and kids and nobody cares.

It wasn't even that stupid. He had never encountered armored zombies before, he hadn't learned the stab them up the stab them up the jaw under the helmet trick that everyone who was at the prison knows.

lol he definitely had a mace dude, or he picked up a random object that just so happened to work exactly like one.

Another rough season to be a black protagonist in the zombie apocalypse.

I think the difference is that a mace doesn't have a chain, the weight is directly attached to the shaft.

Just caught up with this week's episode. Loved every minute of it.

The two deaths were so very "Savini"esque and I thought they were wonderful.

Gabe is a dick. Carol is cool. Rick is going to go Nuclear at some point. Glenn is going to layeth some smacketh down. Good on Eugene, for finally being useful. Glad to see Maggie overhearing stuff.

All in all, great episode. Bonus points for the deaths. It was nice to see the Disembowel death by zombie make a comeback. That gruesome Noah death was icing on the blood cake. I liked his character, but meh.

Is it next Sunday yet?
