I'd bet almost anything the reason the Kingdom ends up getting involved is that the Saviors kill the 'in training' guy that's popped up in several episodes.

In the comics the only real point of the Kingdom was so that Michonne gots a boyfriend!

At the rate they're going it'll either be Morgan or Carol.. I think Morgan would be absolutely PRECIOUS though

Having seen some TV interviews in a real women's prison.. that said the show probably isn't going to focus on women that look like they've done a truck's worth of meth and cigarette before they took up pumping iron.

Seriously though, I wonder who the hell this group is now. I wonder if they made it 90% women to fool people, or maybe they changed their views and joined up with some men since we saw them last (hilariously, like a week ago)?

It is clearly Carol in the hoodie. In the past week she met with dude-mischonne, raised a brood of mad max extras with him, and trained them in the ways of bloodshed.

I really liked the joke where Ezekiel was telling Jerry to slow down because he was he was on the verge of overstepping the "overenthusiastic king's court member" thing into speaking more than the king.

I don't understand anything about the clothesline bit. The clothesline shouldn't have been able to slice off all the zombie necks because people don't have their necks at the same height. If the wire of dynamite is for destroying the herd, then wouldn't there need to be more dynamite perpendicular to its setup so that it takes out more of the herd and not just the ones at the front? Then Rick shouldn't have been able to get even halfway through that herd. I would have been satisfied with the suspense of the scene if they'd left just before the first walkers started reaching the cars.

I think the corpses are so dessicated that it sliced through neck, chest, shoulder, whatever.

Ahh yes, where I'm from people use inch-thick steel cabling for clotheslines.. And use CAT-5 cable instead of clothespins or tape.

or galennorth has never seen a clothesline outside of a movie in their entire life - but they have a whole pile of strategies on how to use them against the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

I love how nobody ever really needs to reload a gun at a bad time on Walking Dead, and every time people brought it up there were lots of "You want realism in your guns, nerds?" while missing the point. Then I saw John Wick 2 and was like "See, reloading at bad times is loving fun and awesome in an action scene, why the hell are people so afraid to show people reloading guns?"

Obviously nobody on this show is John Wick (though with his % of head shots he is pretty much the walking zombie cure), but you could easily re-scale it for horror. I want to watch Rick trying to shove bullets into his gun while bashing zombies in the face, Goddamn it.

I've had clotheslines growing up and it looked like steel cabling to me, but other people like Remy Marathe were calling it that so I just decided to follow suit

I meant clothesline in the non-literal sense, like the wrestling move is clotheslining someone. I call bullshit because they've repeatedly established cars can't just plow through a field of zombies, torsos are heavy, but here are two cars with a line strung between them cutting through a dozen at a time with zero resistance. That shot of Rick just cruising along smoothly in his car (not unlike his push through the horde), torsos being sawn in half like butter. It wasn't awesome at all, it was a cheese-wheel level of stupid in a show that's trying to be dark and real.

I am not a physicist, but I'm pretty sure that there's a big difference between the very small surface are of the clothesline hitting the zombies vs. the large surface area of the front of a car hitting zombies. Like, if you hit a piece of bamboo with a hammer and don't cut through it, that doesn't mean that therefore you wouldn't be able to cut a piece of bamboo with a machete.

Aside from the weird murder porn that this show seems to be obsessed with, is anyone else finding huge entertainment value in the fact that there's a guy named Jesus and people often yell out his name in times of frustration and exasperation?

"Jesus."
"JESUS."
"JESUS"

And said character parkour-karate kicks zombies in the head??

Have you ever used a piece of wire to cut cheese? Physics - it works!

The dumbest part of that scene was how they magically managed to perfectly space their cars to keep the line taut - even though their windshields got covered in gore within like 4 seconds for some bizarre and inexplicable reason. The cable would do a ton of damage if kept taut and at a reasonable height where it's not dragging on the ground for most of its length.

He is the actual, non-ironic embodiment of that "Jesus saves - and only takes half-damage!" meme/shirt/whatever. I have been saying that for like, over a year now, but you are still shocked that it's true.

In TWD phone games, if you pull a Jesus into your character roster you can't even arm him - his primary weapon is "BOOT" i poo poo you not
