I think that there are four parties involved at the moment.
1. Rick's group
2. Termites
3. Black guy from Season 1 (I forget his name)
4. A mystery group who is tracking 1 & 2. Maybe related to the black car/kidnapper people.
The Termites, just by dumb luck, happen upon the Church and BobBQ.
The Mystery Group is tracking Rick's group, and marking the trees. The same people who Daryl knows are out there but they're good/careful enough to not leave tracks. I don't think the Termites are skilled trackers to be able to elude everyone and Daryl. Hell, they have an open campfire at night - what does that tell ya. The termites are also being tracked, and have no idea.

I really thought Gareth was going to make that joke at the end when he said "Tasted better than expected." Was disappointed they didn't.

I did. But then I remembered that most germs/bacteria/viruses die at 165 degrees.

I mentioned after the trough scene that Gareth knew Bob's name.that was my thought also.. What goes around comes around..

Carol appeared to be running off.
Darryl followed her.
They see the car that Darryl saw kidnap Beth.
Smashes brakelights and chases after it.

Best as I can tell:
1. Carol was going to leave the group
2. Daryl caught her and stopped her from leaving
3. Car that took Beth drives by
4. Daryl recognizes the car and tells Carol they gotta go after it because those guys got Beth
5. Beth loves Rick. Their's is a powerful love that has yet to be consummated but forever endures with the brilliance of a thousand suns.
No. 5 wasn't included in the scene but given how it's such a significant theme in the show I thought it needed to be included.

Didn't Bob, at the trough, say- "Hi, my name's Bob... Washington DC, etc"?I mentioned after the trough scene that Gareth knew Bob's name.
That's what I assumed happened with Gareth knowing his name and group./

He meant purple, Soylent Green is purple...that's the twist - it's not actually green!Maybe some people should use spoiler tags.

They brought the first group in and offered them a plate. It hardly strains credibility to presume they asked Glenn, Maggie and everyone what their names were.

they'll get to that right after the 3 way with Maggie, glen and the lesbo chick from governor's camp

Replace Glenn with Rosita and you'd have a strong contender for greatest TV episode ever.

I guess Gareth isn't a dad then. Because I would have kept saying that joke over and over.

Now I might as well just stay away from all 1970s dystopian pictures. You've ruined them all for me.

"Carol, can we join your group?"
"Sure, but my group is jump-starting an old Buick I found out on the highway and taking off tonight"

I did think it was a little odd how Carol seems to be struggling to get back in with the group. I could see if she was pissed at Rick but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be primarily/entirely about killing Psycho Lizzie which is odd because she offed the two people at the prison without batting an eye. I'm sure this will be explored as we go along but I did think it was odd.

There's Rick's group. There's the Termites. There's Duane. There's Herman Munster driving Beth around in that hearse.Jobber said:
The ones tracking Rick's group were the Termites.

I was joking about being in a "dead pool" but during water color talk this morning 3 of us thought it'd be cool to give it a go, so I figure who better to help come up with rules for this than FF guys. We came up with rough guidelines that look like this:
Hold a draft and divy up the "main group", probably 3 or 4 characters each (no bad guys).
$1 per episode skins game, if one of our picks dies, we get the current pot and the pot starts over.
Our skins game ends at the season break (8 episodes), what do we do if nobody has died up to that point? (We want the pool to conclude at season break rather than carry over to when the season picks back up).
We'd also like another pot seperate from the dead pool skins game that offers a weekly "result". Thought of tallying zombie kills for each of our three squads, but that seems like way more effort than it's worth. Human kills would be easier to tally, but those don't happen often enough for this. Maybe we could tally just kills highlighted on Talking Dead's "kills of the week" segment?
Any ideas?

We will find out (both my co-workers have read them, I haven't). From what they tell me, basing picks on the books is as likely to help as hurt, but they might be playing me.

To touch on a couple matters that have been discussed over the last few pages:
1) I thought Bob stepped outside probably to get away from the drinking and such, since he has an alcohol issue. I think someone else said the same in this thread.
2) I don't think Bob knew Gareth prior to the recent encounter at Terminus. The cosmic fate that Gareth referred to is the fact that at out of all of the "packs" of humans they could track and hunt, it was the group that ruined their home that they were lucky enough to find. Didn't really matter who, though, the Termites would be finding someone to track/eat. Just my take, could be totally wrong.
Another very interesting episode, overall. Two big issues unfolding (Gareth & Beth's kidnappers) could make for a nice few episodes coming up.

Pretty easy actually. I mean, they're so tiny.flapgreen said:

That's a really interesting point. However, I think Carol could maybe sell her actions to Rick by explaining that Lizzie was planning to turn Judith into a walker.

I doubt Rick would ask about the girls any more than he would ask about all the others who didn't make it. He could just assume they died along with everyone else. He likely has no clue they were with Carol.
