The Walking Dead.

So, I wasn't sure if they could show something like that on a cable TV show. I know it's pretty solidly banned in video games (think Skyrim, Fallout..)

Sort of odd seeing that happen.

Well...they kind of did and they kind of didn't. They didn't show Lizzy killing her sister, just the aftermath...and they didn't really show Carol shooting Lizzy, though clearly that's what happened. Splitting hairs. Disturbing.

So what was the deal with the fire , did they ever go check it out ?

Who started it and so on ?

Don't know, but the walkers that the group killed were charred and still smoldering. It looked as if someone tried to fry some walkers and didn't get the job done.

It's the house that Darryl and Beth set on fire.

This season has been parallel episodes, for the most part.

AH! Bet you're right.

Oh ok , I was thinking they should've went and checked it out .

That whole setting the house on fire was stupid to me because they wasted all that fuel / shine . Seems like they could've done something more useful than waste it like that .

I didn't even think about the house that Daryl and Beth torched until they mentioned it in Talking Dead. I was thinking they must be really close to Terminus by now and maybe this is a pyre the Termites (to coin a phrase) are setting to dispose of their dead and all of the walkers they've dispatched. Can't let disease take hold in the civilized freehold of Terminus. So, I thought it was really stupid of Carol and Tyrese to even entertain the idea of staying at the remote house by the tracks that everyone else seeking Terminus would be passing by too, seeing as how they were so close to Terminus that they could see the Termites' pyres.

Well, yeah, that was wrong. If it was, indeed, supposed to be Daryl and Beth's moonshine party, then Carol and Tyrese are still a long way off from Terminus and staying at the house just might have made some modicum of sense.

And no, I don't think this qualifies as hard core. If they had shown more detail of Mika laying on the ground with her gut/chest splayed open, then it'd be hard core, but they carefully blocked the closest shots of Mika's face with Lizzie's blurry body in the foreground so you couldn't see the true damage her psychosis had wrought on her little sister. That demotes it at least one notch down from hard core. Maybe, crunchy core.

Yes...... let's remember Carol and Lizzie in a happier time..........

Shoo! Shoo! Go away!


Great episode. I made the mistake and read a spoiler website before-hand, but not much sank in. I was still on the edge of my seat. I do think that Lizzie should have met her end at the hands of her sister though.. Just lock them both in a room and let nature happen.

Talking Dead was really good too. They explained that Judith was in a papoose sling or something or another, as others had the same questions. I like how the puzzle was a picture of Sophia though.. and that nobody on set knew what it was until the producer or whoever told them after it was done.

Another Easter egg. If you look back when michone and Carl go out gathering stuff in that house and michone picks up a painting it was of Lizzy with blood yellow flowers and an x thru her head.

Where is Tyreese getting ammo for that M1?

 

[snapping turtle]

Wait until the train cars doors open on the last episode of the year. Might have to wait till the next year to see what Rick Daryl and Glenn see.

Where is Tyreese getting ammo for that M1?

It keeps disappearing from my basement :-)

Great episode. I told the wife early in the episode, that girl is trouble and is going to have to be dealt with at some point. Didn't see it coming that soon though.

ETA: I never come to this thread until I have watched the episode... just common sense.

I have no common sense.

 

[actaeon277]

Just checked. It's up on Amazon. Watching now.

To Navarre1095,

I would guess that it was a leftover from the prison armoury.

There are a lot of law enforcement armouries that still have Thompson machine guns stuffed way in the back somewhere. It wouldn't be too big of a stretch to find some olde milsurp in a prison or local sheriffs office.

Regards,

Doug

 

[actaeon277]

Wow.

 

[lovemachine]

I watched this episode at lunch time.


Holy crap!

I hope the next couple episodes are just as good.

I agree on a thrilling, make you say OMG, episode... as always on the bench waiting for next week.

One thing that always pings me... kinda the norm now.. but the topic of hearing! All of these shots.. close quarters, point-blank, in-doors... how does anyone hear anything these days?!?
In this last when the walker fell over the porch rail.. the shot was made right above the babies head. The poor kid would be listening to ringing for ever...

I guess the other would be how everyone is a perfect head-shot.. shooting from the hip in most cases... but again the norm these days.

It's a story, I know, so I look past these things... but sometimes reality creeps in my head and says 'what the hell?'.

I made a thread a long time ago on TV/Movie gun tropes. This was definitely one of them.
