Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Are you shitting me with this show? 50+ zombies outside the flimsy barn door and a group a trees managed to squash every single one? Not to mention not one tree fell on the freaking barn? They could not have thought of a better way to kill the zombies??? Like um the guy Aaron showing up with an AR15 and blasting them away or something.

It sort of seemed there was an effort to have this episode play out the 'Stages of grief'
I can't remember them all, but it goes something like: Shock ; dis-belief ; bargaining ; anger; sadness ; slow acceptance.
There's a few more I can't remember. It's possible they used that as a basic frame work, but then also just threw in a bunch of whatever other ideas came along.
Just a feeling I got.

This was a terrible episode with a lot of great scenes. It was a group of scenes that should have been interspersed through other episodes. An occasional slow, depressing scene showing them starving, digging for worms, eating dogs, etc to set the mood, build context, etc. Instead, we get 24/7 bullshit melodrama and occasionally a full episode depicting the reality of their situation that is so boring and dragging it just adds more wtf to the show.
The only way the writers are going to survive this show is by waking up each day realizing they're already dead and melodramatically delivering the line "we are the Writing Dead" ....then have one of the writers mumble some line that steps all over their best dramatic effort.

I also love when they do neighborhood location scenes like the first ep this season where they clearly planted an overgrown shrub to show the desolation then in the background is a perfectly manacured shrub and freshly cut lawn.
I also had to laugh at the well mannered zombies using the front barn door instead of plowing through the sides which looked far more rickety.

Well, the door was making the noise, so it makes sense they would go for the noise source than the sides.
Anyways, Aaron is a character in the comic and this will transition into the next big arc.

Aaron is basically the recruiter/people finder for the Alexandria Free Zone, an extremely large walled community on the outskirts of DC. The fact he knows who Rick is makes me think that either Morgan is there and told them who to look out for or the dude is a super spy ninja

I was searching deep in my head who could be there that knew Rick but Morgan was the only one I could come up with as well.
Add to it Morgan had a map with a note to Rick on it leading to it pretty much.
Makes sense too, without having to deal with 14 people Morgan could have got there pretty quickly and for sure in the 3 weeks since they left Atlanta.
This brings them halfway into the comic series( with some later events in comics already done in the shows past ). Alexandria has so many events and things happen/going on though it is probably a writers paradise for the show. Lots of material and possibilities.
