This episode was flawlessly written and directed.

I thought the shot where Rick was in the foreground on the walkie-talkie whilst Michonne was in the background lopping heads off zombies was brilliant. There was also the shot where Tyreese was looking through the front door and Noah's face was caught perfectly in a broken mirror inside. I loved that.

Seems either very coincidental or they just brought a mystical element to this bitch. I'm wrapping my head around it. I can't wait to see this play out. I don't want to know b fore hand.

I kinda of thought they would save introducing this part, till the finale. Then leave all next season about this, but based of last episode guess they are going to introduce it.

Wonder who left the water ?

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

I stopped watching last season because I simply got bored of the show. But, this mystical element mentioned above has me intrigued. Can someone explain?

Spoiler

I'm sure if the Illuminati can raise the dead, they can also control the weather.

[worry]

I haven't read the comics, for the record. All my spoilers are invented by me, the creative visionary.

[Spoilsport Stonny]

Yeah, just enjoy the ride. It may get bumpy and even pretty slow at points, the journey yadda yadda yadda.

[worry]

"Don't think. Just eat." was a surprisingly good line for this show. Much better (and by far more succinct) than Rick's, uh, rousing (?!) speech.

I'm still think every season should have a cinematic and scored out episode.

One that REALLY is depth driven.

That one that focuses on the Len's light and amazing scenery revolving around...

Each character crying.

Also think the new guy is there as a embedded <statefarm? > Insurance Rep?

... You too could have prevented this storm damage from your farm. I am really thinking that's it.

I'm caught up with the latest episode. So, the whole barn thing is supposed to be an allegory or something? On Hershel's farm, the zombies are in the barn, trying to get out. In the latest episode Rick's group is in the barn, trying to keep the zombies from getting in. And the line where Daryl says "we are not them". Is this suggesting that the living now are the aberration in the world (the disease/mutation)?

Also, Rick's pep talk revealed something I never knew, keep in mind I've not read the comic books. His pep talk revealed that the term "Walking Dead" describes the living.

[worry]

That whole "We are not them" conversation was deliberately opaque because it wasn't actually saying anything. They could mean "we aren't fighting the same good fight the WWII soldiers did" or "we aren't on an equal plain with the enemy, as it's not really human vs human" or "we aren't as good/bad as them (whoever)" or "we have less hope in this situation than your grandpa did in the war." The Rick and Darryl parroting it back and forth made it more confusing, not less...if Darryl's point was "that's a bad analogy" and then Rick agrees, what was the point of the story? Was he celebrating Opposite Day?

Agree. Deliberately opaque...and I think it was to showcase Darryl's state of mind in the ep VS Rick's state of mind. Two guys fighting the same war but Darryl's grief overwhelmed him here and he refused to allow people to see it, and then as a result of letting it go (in sobbing alone)...he's then refusing to see the black and white proposition that Rick puts forward...we simply don't know why or what he means by the response of "we ain't them".

It was damned fine storytelling to keep everyone on their toes character-wise in such a way.

This season is easily the best of the shows tenure. Ep to ep it's bloody riveting on a level I can't quite describe.

Bizzaro zombies, man.

[worry]

Just watched last week's episode. First in a long while with actual scares, and was pretty strong from start to finish.

[Jakovasaurus]

They were only allowed in because Daryl caught dinner. Possum is yummy if prepared correctly.

[Nicodimas]

The most hippie-liberal backwards bullshit this show has pushed ever. Turn in your weapons at the gate./gah This is the zombie apocalypse! After what they been through??? And it's just guns, makes sense.

A) Political Rhetoric: Taking guns from this crew is the writers way of pushing on a set of beliefs toward the audience, which I don't agree with and took away from the show. No individual is safer in relying on another person and being stripped from a tool that makes them better. It's weakness that drives this thought.

Safety: More Arms the better. Zombies!

C) Lethality: You leave knives, which are very very quiet and a small mass of people. This crew could and would rise up against you if needed.

This town is SOFT. I'm with rick-take it.

I was loling on Carols interview!

Also Ricks last lines ftw!

I loved that the most dangerous member of the group is walking around in a blue sweater and making casseroles for the elderly. They have no idea...

So, did the other teen girl take Rick's blender gun?

She's the most likely suspect but who knows. Someone planted that walker under that thing at Ricks feet but idk if she could do that alone.

Valid point on the blender gun scene... interesting to see how that pans out. Damn that would make me paranoid knowing someone had to have been watching Rick then when he planted it.

[acesn8s]

I like the idea of the walker being planted to trap the person coming for the gun. Can't wait to see what happens next.
