    They'll never go to DC. They're going to play in the woods for the rest of the show.

    True about the lack of walker "diversity'. These days Atlanta is knee-deep in blacks so why not more black walkers?

    This. It was quite clear what was going on and why Bob was so depressed.

    It will be fun to watch once it finally happens.

    You're forgetting about the nutters with the crosses painted on their cars.

    Well, I thought the same thing I guess, at first, but...

    Not always, that guy who they left by a tree in the first season took quite a while to fall ill. The size of the wound probably affects how long it takes for the infection to grow in strength.

    And he was crying when the hunters knocked him in the head. So it's plausible the scene is a riff on the comic, I just don't see them wanting to introduce the hunters only to dispatch them before anyone knows they're a threat. Besides, Rick has a red handled machete with Gareth's name on it. I'd sorta like to see him use it on that annoying prick.

    It was very satisfying. Especially Bob laughing at the hunters. Some scenes from the comic are too good to be left out.

    I expected it. As I said last week... there's still the guys with the crosses painted on their cars to contend with.

    I expected it when they called themselves hunters and his leg was gone. Still, they have swerved us before.

    I'm calling dead Carol soon. If not next week then shortly. No reason, just that her story is played out and the time is right for it.

    Nah, she just got back and her & Darryl haven't been shown to be knockin' boots yet. Of course, not knowing the comic's plotlines, I have no ideas how long she stuck around there.... :shrug:

    How do you know it's Carol? All we see at the end of this week's episode is Darryl turning to the bushes and saying "you can come out now."

    It could be anyone. :chris:

    I try not to spoil tv plots with comic stuff. But in the comic Daryl doesn't exist and Carol enjoys a.lengthy relationship with another character currently alive. However lots of things get altered for tv. And I'm strictly going on gut feeling. Carol already completed her story arc from mousy battered wife to badass killer. Her lesson for Rick (and it is his story) was that farming isn't how to survive now. And if she and Daryl get their closure next week she's basically done.

    I have to be honest, it's been a while since I first started reading the comics so I tend to get confused between the comic book characters and television show now. :whacko:

    I think it would be rather interesting to find out how the hospital is getting its electricity.

    I got bored and looked up the bible verses on the church wall in the 10/26 episode. :lol:

    Romans 6:4
    4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

    Ezekiel 37:7
    7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

    Matthew 27:52
    52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

    Revelation 9:6
    6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

    Luke 24:5
    5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

    :lol: yes I did that too, but not with all of them :D

    As for the latest episodes, OK as a one off but knowing the show I guess it's not. Also, another fascist community? Really? Come on we get it, that's probably what it would come down to but do we really need them every other week?

    I liked how Beth got rid of Gorman. You go girl!

    I enjoy season 5 very much. Season 4 was very repetitive at the beginning, but it improved in the end.

    "Self Help" was not a spectacular episode, however, it makes sense to slow things down a bit and focus on the new characters. I was really happy with the bottle episode "Slabtown". Finally, whe got a break from rural Georgia and its fields and woods and moved back to Atlanta. Ffs, Georgia is such a boring place. Fields, woods, fields, woods.... And the occasional hillbilly town, or a farm... And it's always sunny, no rain, no wind... Four seasons of TWD made me hate this place! ;) Most boring landscape on earth... I'd rather be a zombie than living there... :P I'd die from boredom.

    True, much of Georgia is woods/fields. That said the northern part has mountains and the eastern part had the Atlantic Ocean.
    Don't judge only by the area in which they film, which is the edge of the piedmont region.
    True though it isn't windy much, and we don't get all that much rain in a typical summer (when they film it).
