Noah's death was really ####### brutal.

ripping the cheek off was

Has there been a more gruesome death of one of the group members? Herschel's was dramatic, but not gruesome.

Spoiler

Maybe when Glenn dies.

Spoiler

That ain't happening

Spoiler

I keep seeing stories about something awful and terrible happening at the seasons end. I really think it is Glenn dying like in the comic book

Spoiler

IDK... I think it is still too soon for them to get that far this season. Only 2 episodes left? I think Glenn lives on into next season, at least.

Spoiler

I do think that Glenn will bite it like in the comics, but by the end of this season might be a bit too soon. I'm guessing it ends with the Scavengers (wolves?) either at the gates or attacking. Whether or not that storyline is resolved is pretty much whether or not the writers want to leave us on a big cliffhanger or not to end the season.

Motherdick...

Liking Abe more and more

 

[ghostguy123]

really close to quitting this show. The new characters at Alexandria aren't interesting at all.

so see ya next week in here?

Thinking that aspect is about to get more interesting.

 

[flapgreen]

Love Abe!

Noah's death was really ####### brutal.

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said a writer doesn't introduce a pack of flesh-hungry zombies behind a chain link fence in Act 2 unless he's going to have a hand grenade take out the fence and the zombies eat their way through a guy's cheek in Act 4.

Actually, it was Chekhov

I thought it was Alexander Dumba$sHe's the one that wrote the book about the candy bar right?

If you shoot a hand grenade it explodes?

no...it sprouts flowers normally

 

[Porkchop Express]

A Carl-less episode is usually a win.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Even if it were theoretically possible to cause detonation by a bullet, by penetrating the grenade shell you have effectively neutralized the effectiveness of the grenade by breaching its containment and giving the explosion an easy escape route through the hole or crack. So a grenade shot by a bullet would still go off when the timed fuse trips, but it would be more noise and flash than anything deadly.

Go get a grenade, shoot it, film it, and put it on youtube.

Until this happens, I will forever assume they blow up when shot.

 

[ghostguy123]

Oh, and not sure if mentioned............

These commercials for "I Zombie", wow. This show looks to be the kind that last for like, half of the first episode then get pulled for a rerun of Cheers or something.

 

[ghostguy123]

I dropped a "mother ****" at work tonight.

Seems this doesn't go very well around a bunch of other nurses who don't watch the show. WHo knew.

What if said bullet hit the grenade pin, causing it to "pull", thus enabling it to explode??

This is precisely why they should start putting the pins on the inside of the grenade.

Why didn't Gabriel share his true feelings about the group in his initial interview with Deanna? Maybe she can see through him, because if Rick's group was so bad, why didn't he mention that in his interview?

This is why I'm wondering if walking in to an empty church at the beginning was what set him off. But I think I'm on an island with that idea.

I really need to read the books just for the thought bubbles, I usually whiff on the implied stuff.

It could be that he showed up to give a sermon and nobody showed.. Thus his "The light you see isn't the savior, but the " speech to Deanna trying to get people not only to be against Rick's group but to start coming to church and believe in what he says.

Or he is just plain and needs to be destroyed.

 

[Jayrok]

Oh good lord. Is she always a zombie or is that like her super power, to turn into a zombie at will? Man that looks dumb.

I kinda wondered along the same lines. That being in the church reminded him of his past sins and made him feel like a doosh, but being the dbag he is he opted to try and save himself and throw Rick and company under the bus. In other words, he may see the only thing in front of him and a fresh start is Rick's group. He wants to get them exiled and maybe the thinks that will exercise his demons, allowing him to be a pastor again. Or maybe he's just insane.

 

[Harry Manback]

Why didn't Gabriel share his true feelings about the group in his initial interview with Deanna?

Because he's a poorly developed character.

Really really . Maybe your best one yet.

Jesus. If you want to suck his ####, just ask him out already.

Not everyone has their hook up number in their sig he's playing hard to get.

It's rude not to put your phone number in your sig. Call me. We'll talk.

I called it.

Was disappointed.

Spoiler

I think Glenn's death will be epic and shocking... moreso than Beth's death at the hospital. But I don't see it happening this season. I tend to agree with you on how this season ends. I can't decide whether I think the wolves are the DC Scavengers or the Saviors of the comics. I'm leaning towards the Saviors but could see it either way. I think this season ends with the Scavengers at the gates of Alexandria demanding to be let in. (Little pig little pig let me in). Maybe all the gun fire from the construction site caught their ear. Or, they gloss over the Scavengers a bit by having them try to raid Alexandria this week (leader at the gates in last scene)... then in the finale have them battle while the huge herd comes down on Alexandria culminating in the death of one or more characters. But who knows at this point, the way they've varied from the comic storyline? If we are guessing who dies in the finale... I'd guess Jessie or Rosita.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

My question is ...who`s NOT expendable ...who wont die because the show really needs them for it to be interesting ?

Rick

Carol

Michonne

Daryl

those 4 for sure

I don't see why that can't be possible. Did you see that bottle rocket shot at Terminus? If someone can shoot a bottle rocket which isn't even pointed at a target and hit said target, a bullet can surely hit a grenade pin.

Go get a grenade, shoot it, film it, and put it on youtube.

Until this happens, I will forever assume they blow up when shot.

[TenTimes]

I think the story ends with Rick, he's the only character I can't imagine the show without. Carl could die and slingshot Rick into another dimension.

Hmm.... Did Aiden have some sort of AK? Or some sort of AR/M-16? Cuz in that myth busters, they said a .308 caused detonation, but smaller rounds just made them inert. And AK/SKS type guns are usually chambered in 7.62 (.308)

AK shoot a round that is pretty much the same as a 308, yes.

Yes. AK/SKS's are usually chambered in .308 (7.62 mm) while AR types are .223 (5.56 mm)

I think every character on that show is expendable. The group changes its membership constantly, it wouldn't be a big deal to shift the focus over time to another interesting character. They go whole shows without showing some of the characters, including Rick once or twice in the past, IIRC. Start writing him out of two out of every three episodes and, wa la, it becomes the Darryl and Carol show.

 

[Franknbeans]

The real question is who left the fresh picked strawberries for Gabriel?

Yup, I think so too. I've said before I think if the day comes when Andrew Lincoln doesn't want to do the show it'll end. Kirkman has been pretty emphatic about how the show is Rick's story ultimately.

 

[Megla]

The real question is who left the fresh picked strawberries for Gabriel?

Rosemarry

 

[Franknbeans]

Rosemarry

so there's a new character roaming about?

Any talk or Abraham's weapon? What was it and what was on the end of it that went flying?

 

[Megla]

Looked like a fence post with barb wire running through concrete at the end of it

 

[Parrothead]

Abraham would beat the #### out of Rick if it ever came to it

 

[Harry Manback]

Abraham would beat the #### out of Rick if it ever came to it

Let's hope it does.

 

[packersfan]

I've been hoping to see Rick and Abraham working together more. They'd make a pretty formidable duo.

Not sure, it appears to be one of the Alexandrians

So, now we have proof that another complaint was completely off base. I know BK likes the show, but it is pretty funny that so many of the complaints have been completely wrong.
