yeah. we'll see how they actually enter the town... doubt they'd be willing to give up their weapons or be divided up until they feel safe.I think that was the point. Rick was still in survival mode, but as Daryl said "we ain't them" and I think the rest of the crew was willing to take the risk. Rick was the only one not willing to take that risk.If there was one part last night where I thought the Writers missed a great opportunity was when Rick went to hide the gun..
Would have been great to have each person who had an extra weapon take a walk( aka I need to piss) and hide a weapon somewhere..
It was great opportunity for the writers to show how the group as a whole wanted to find a safe place, yet at the same time had become unsure about any strangers/offers of Utopia..
Missed opportunity there by the writers IMO..
after all they had been through you'd think Carol, Daryl, and Michonne at the least would think "I want to trust them, and I hope I can, but just in case" ..
I agree completely. After the episode was over, it was pretty clear that the flares were in case the two of them were in trouble, not a trap for Rick's crew. That is why he took off.
I think as El Floppo thinks, that there is no way they will give up their weapons as they go inside. The chance of that went away with what happened at Terminus.I think that was the point. Rick was still in survival mode, but as Daryl said "we ain't them" and I think the rest of the crew was willing to take the risk.

It was a little confusing at first, almost felt like there was an immanent attack, so Aaron took off. But it was a signal that the other guy was in trouble.
That is why, while I think they are low in numbers now, they may have been higher in numbers before and/or they found a place that other people had secured but for some reason those people got overrun. I hope they give us a little on that.
Yeah, that was intentionally confusing so we would think there was an attack coming, i.e. the "32" people he brought found out Rick went off the path he was supposed to go and were coming for them. It made sense afterwards.

If this is the Gay Woodbury who do they target as the next Andrea?
Daryl
or Tara
or Rosita and drive a wedge between her and Abraham just when it looks like they're getting back together.

I hope so- but I doubt it'll be that good. unless "solid steel plates" means something else.

they will probably say it was one of the last military built safe zones.. eventually got overrun.. now it is Gayberry..

We're nearing the point of when I stopped reading the comics but from what I recall there was plenty of action there. The expanding fo the town, the beginning of Rick's group taking it over, and wasnt there a part where the people who live there tried to kill Glenn? Carl loses an eye as well and the love triangles etc.

I buy that.
if you guys were actually gay, I have a feeling the gay puns would be much better.

another thing that bugged the #### out of me was when Glen just used his hand to wipe off the windshield and then wiped the blood on his clothes.

I would think this has to be the case. Otherwise why take the extreme risk of tracking a dangerous group in an uncleared territory, sharing your goods, and outright approaching them knowing you'd likely be taken as captive. It made sense with the hospital/cops b/c they needed slaves... This group must need something pretty sadistic to take the risk.

The Death Race 2000 zombie car scene was pretty cool. That's the kind of cool stuff that's just fun on a zombie show.

I think it is probably similar to Terminus for the people who built the walls in that they were run over by bad people and either these are the guys left or they found this place. Either way, based on the end of the episode, I think they are secure from walkers, have supplies, but have no security against rogue groups of humans. I don't think there is anything nefarious about them, I think they are looking for hired guns so to speak to protect their little slice of heaven. I wasn't sure, but at the end I am pretty sure that is the case. That said, I have no idea how they built the community and if they even were the folks that built it.

I don't know if anyone noticed this or posted this yet, but in one of the beginning scenes, they group is walking down a road and there's a sign that says:
JTC
16
It's to signify that the road they are on junctions with highway 16 ahead. Only problem is that those signs normally say:
JCT
16
Because the word is JunCTion.
Seemed odd they got that wrong.

I don't get why people have a problem with the welded-steel-walls thing. Why is it illogical to think that a group may have prioritized wall-building, especially if they happened to have providential access to the right materials?

Definitely don't have an issue, I think we just want an explanation because it seems like this could be a really small crew, hence his mention of "people" being the biggest resource. You either need a lot of people or construction equipment, which is pretty noisy/draws walkers. I think it is completely plausible, Woodbury did it, but they also had a good amount of people and trucks/equipment. Based on these guys desire to bring Rick's group in, they have a limited amount of people, so it would be good, even in a throwaway line to know what happened.
Agreed, this show is getting ridiculous. I can believe the term zombie was never used, but not knowing how to get out a blood stain? C'mon man.

I think that that was a picture from inside. It wouldn't make any sense to have the walls supported from the outside.

He threw the blood onto the road, but should have wiped it on himself. Might not have got snuck up on.

That was so stupid. You got a guy who's looking for a reason to kill you and you can't swallow the applesauce? You just saw their group go to town on a bunch of dogs, but the applesauce is a sticking point?My mommy maid me eat applesauce all the time and I really don't like it!!

All caught up show wise but not the thread. Did anyone make a joke about Glen eating dog in episode 9?

It's just showing how good Aaron has it back home, that he would even refuse eating something like applesauce while Rick's group is eating dogs and worms and the baby eating ground up acorns. Just like collecting license plates as if anyone has time for such trivial things.That was so stupid. You got a guy who's looking for a reason to kill you and you can't swallow the applesauce?

Why wasnt Aaron marked at all after Rick knocked the #### out of him?

The characters driving don't seem to look at the road very often. I get that this is a zombie show, but at least try to make it somewhat believable.

I think I'm the only one with a problem.
Don't see how they're getting welded steel plates going anywhere. I see chain-link and fence posts... or any kind of hodge-podge of materials like at Governor-ville... but steel seems both difficult to procure and heavy to transport and install for the size needed without serious machinery.
I do buy the military having set this up initially.

I believe it's military as well. I mean, Alexandria isn't too far from DC, so it's certainly possible it was set up as some defense for DC.

totally forgot about that one... completely ridiculous- unless, like Iocaine poison, he somehow developed an immunity and is ####### with Rick and baby.

I don't want to live in a zombie apocalypse where the windshield wiper fluid goes bad.
If someone had me tied up threatening to put a knife in my neck I can't think of very many things I wouldn't be willing to eat. Razor blades and thumbtacks maybe, you know something that causes a more painful death than the knife blow. Certainly not any real food.It's just showing how good Aaron has it back home, that he would even refuse eating something like applesauce while Rick's group is eating dogs and worms and the baby eating ground up acorns.

agree. for a guy that seems to "understand" their situation, that kind of behavior is insane and silly plot-device for the writers to create tension when none is needed. I'd rather have a knife shoved into my skull than eat something I don't like because mommy didn't love me.If someone had me tied up threatening to put a knife in my neck I can't think of very many things I wouldn't be willing to eat.
