I don't see why a rapist would be more or less better equipped to survive this world than someone who wasn't one. I get that those with the willingness to kill one to save a few will be more likely to survive, but I don't see why the survivors have to be truly malevolent.ghostguy123 said:

NEXT TIME, ON THE WALKING DEAD:
Rick and the gang run across a large group of survivors on their trek to DC. Among them a man who is really good at growing vegetables, a woman who is really quite pleasant, and a group of teenagers who respect their elders. *BUT*, is there more to this group than meets the eye? No.
TUNE IN!
I think it's the combination of her having always been in second commend to the previous leader (who she apparently killed) and the begrudging understanding of the group that she's be equipped to lead. Furthermore, it sounds like she at least tries to reward the others in the group (i.e. condoning their rape) so that's probably enough to keep her in power by default.
They kind of were with the priest.Would be kind of cool if Rick and Co. were the ### holes once.Worm said:Well...El Floppo said:totally agree.Zow said:

Right. That's kind of the point of the show.Out of necessity, post-TerminusThey kind of were with the priest.Would be kind of cool if Rick and Co. were the ### holes once.Worm said:Well...El Floppo said:totally agree.Zow said:

But she's not a patsy or ineffective. She killed off their last horrible leader. She preserves their individual needs (office/art, women, etc.). And, they don't appear to be in immediate danger of walkers or being replaced so like as they do their jobs.
But what jobs did they have to do? If she's one who insists that the order of law must me maintained because they're going to have to rebuild (or get back into society when they're rescued) why engage in anti-social activities to maintain a sembalance of order? Why save some people and then get rid of others, or beat Beth or want to have leverage on the Dr. or even go with the whole "company store" angle that keeps people in perpetual slavery?
But there was no real characterization that these guys even remotely regretted being rapey. The main officer that they focused on was as one dimensional as a cardboard cut out.
Right, they don't have to have any regrets because the boss lady is cool with it (ala the Stanford prison experiment).
It's only in the last couple hundred years that it was unacceptable to rape during war. It wasn't even considered a crime against women, it was a property crime - the term 'rapine' means the violence taking of property.
Yep. I thought this was a strange episode last night, but I chalked it up to me being drunk while they were introducing a bunch of new characters. Then I went back and rewatched it a little while ago and it's still really weird and disjointed. There are a few moments when Beth casually alludes to stuff that we're not privy to at all, and I still don't quite get who the two dead people were. (Not the doctor -- I got that one -- the other two). But it's almost as if this episode was intentionally disorienting. Not necessarily a complaint.
Glad someone else felt this way too. My wife and I were
Because it's the end of the world and she is delusional...................ur overthinking this
same situation as Walter having to kill Gale in BBsnogger said:Unless you are not a very good doctor and the only reason they let you live is because you at least have the Doctor title.. Seemed many don't really like/trust him and would easily send him packing if they didn't need him.Harry Manback said:
I figured he was one of the cops and guarding the hospital. But I didn't give it much thought.
ugh, missed the whole thing
You could be right. I just noticed he was higher up and looked a little off in the distance compated to Beth and the Dr
Every hospital has a backup generator available. They are using it sparingly and obviously theirs can run on bad gas.
Was a "Normal week".. 5 minutes until end, commercial break, come back for 2 or 3 minutes and then go to previews.. But you always have time at that point to switch away.. Seems you jumped the gun.
Only need two. My point is that the environment would suggest a much higher pregnancy rate that normal.
What do you need for healthy development of a fetus? 9 months without the mother dying, good nutrition, rest, lower stress, regular checkups etc. Not exactly describing this world.
She was running out of the house at Daryl's command. Very easily could have been fighting a walker on the road. She did remember fighting with the walker. I do agree they probably drugged her as well, and they definitely saw Daryl and left him because he is a physical threat.
