best episode yet. this is what i always envisioned this show as. yeah there was some stupidity, but everything else was fast paced and over the top awesome.
Now I know what pace and direction they are taking, like I said, wait till next week.
Good to see this series is going to finish strong for this season.

From Talking Dead if people missed it 21 episodes since Daryl left his bike at Prison.
Also on the construction scene site tonight the burn marks on the building was from Gov attack( filmed in what used to be prison yard ).

If I'm ever hanging like a side of beef, surrounded by zombies shoot me in the head please.

I'm wondering how anyone is left in Alexandria, if their rule is leave the fallen behind.

Ya that bothered me a bit as well, but so does how 1 episode they rambo through 15 Z's like nothing then in the next run away like hell from 10.
Also why risk burning down the one fucking warehouse in 300 miles that has the complete key to everything power for life. That place is a fucking goldmine.
Power makes EVERYTHING better. Food, purification, medical( massive asset is having power there ), building, lighting and even defense. After 18 months every box in that fucker would have been in the safe zone if I was there.

maybe they tried to do that and got over run by several zombies which added to the numbers. thats why there were so many zombies hanging out there now.

This shit still annoys me. They get into the warehouse and I'm like, why not kill the zombies through the fence?

But then 5 minutes later the answer came. Drama. If they'd killed the zombies, there's no issue afterwards.

Ya that is what I meant above. First thing I thought when they was behind that fence was time to shank some Z's right? It isn't Glenn doesn't know of the idea it is what they did for like 6 months at the prison. Nope let's leave them and ignore everything learned in the past so it can eat 2 people.

I get it's done for plot and the show but it shouldn't be happening that way.

I could not make out what the guy said before he died... The one that got impaled
... Something like "before us it was them"
Not sure, did anyone pick that up?

Abraham literally stood in place and killed 20 zombies with a wrench just by doing the same two swings over and over.

The writing gets better, the set ups for the action and the drama gets better, and the zombies keep seeming like less and less of a real threat to anyone who is not a paraplegic retard.

Still, the part of the brain that will stop me from enjoying the rest of the show based on that is long since compartmentalized and muffled.

It was us
The others before, they didn't panic. We did. It was us.

Those 2 were responsible for everyone that went out dying due to them being chickenshits basically.

Ya. How much you wanna bet the surviving chickenshit dude will basically be like "I tried to save Aiden, BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ME!". It seems obvious this, combined with crazy preacher infoez, will send Diana over the edge.

i had to chuckle over carole, chick got brushed off by the dickhead hubby and she goes from "he is hitting his wife and kid" to "we need to kill him" in a blink of an eye. will ferrill would no doubt be in agreement with the quickness of escalation.

She is a expert. From season 1 when her dickhead husband had to be killed for abusing her.

That's kind of the point. There comes a point where the organized remnants of humanity, who have now accepted what they are up against, can adjust and handle the situation. The question is whether they can keep from killing each other long enough to do so.

So they will need the town doctor to save / try to save (Lesbian chick with the big ass)

But the doctor is also the wife beating drunk . . . that Rick is probably about to kill.

Deanna's son's buddy will have some story cooked up, by the time they get back to town where he will blame them.

After the preacher has just dumped the worst character reference about Rick's group.

Setting all up quite well for the next few episodes.

But, that's kind of the point. The organized remnants of humanity, who have now accepted what they are up against, STILL can't adjust and handle any situation.

I guess it's just easier to keep going to the OH NO ZOMBIES thing over and over instead of having to write in real drama. The writers make zombies inexplicably powerful, sneaky or smart when it suits them, and makes characters inexplicably weak, incompetent or dumb when it suits them. Basically, shit writers taking the easy way out.

What would have actually happened is Glenn would have led a competent, experienced, trained crew to the warehouse, not included the fucktards you could tell from day 1 were incompetent, they'd have swept the perimeter, killed the hordes in front because that's a potential threat, killed the shits behind the gate because that's a potential threat, not had zombies magically appear at the perfect times, climbed up anything at all when danger presented itself. But, then the writers would have to learn how to write real human drama, not just the oh-no-zombies or oh-no-dumb-human shtick they rely on over and over.

Fucking PUGs wouldn't exist, because you'd make sure the fuckers were up to par before you went out.

Example: the people on the construction site who have inexplicably been surviving this long wouldn't be completely incompetent, and even if they did get over run Who's-Deanna would have simply climbed on top of the tractor or pile of something or truck or ANYTHING above mouth level and simply picked off zombies one by one for as long as it fucking takes, because that's how easy it would be until the writers came up with more clever methods of zombie action.

The problem is the writing is shit, and when you have an episode like this where there's any action at all and a few good scenes of actual drama like the Preacher, people are like OMG ZOMBIES SO COOL and let the writers off the hook again for stupid shit like Carol deciding the fucking doctor has to die because he doesn't want her lesbo ass at his door asking questions. The better drama would be how do you reconcile the fact your doctor is a dirtbag, drunk, beating his wife but you need him, not what you know they're going to do and just blow it up making some bullshit point again about domestic violence, as if you just present it, then you're touching on some really dramatic shit.

Also, pro-tip: make a fucking spear!

While I want Rick to hit that, I think it would be hilarious if the wife was abusing the doctor husband, but we only find that out after Rick kills him. Like, he shoots him, and then someone rips the guy's shirt off to get at the wound, and we find all these bruises and burns all over him, and the kids run screaming to his body because he was the good parent. End season on Rick's expression.

The feminist tightwads would LOVE that one.

I marked her as crazy from day 1. She has a tattoo, is into junk art and she wants to bone crazy beard Rick on first sight, what other signs do we need? I bet she whips that kid with a wire hangar.

Next week definitely feels like it'll be Ron Burgandy meme time.

Well in regards to the preacher and what happens in the comics, yes spoilers
What he said and did played exactly as he did in the comics. This was his scene/moment.
What happens next in the comics is she basically says this guy is crazy , tells him to worry about church services and preacher lives on for the next 2 years basically only being seen when someone dies to say a few words of hope.
She does nothing to Rick's group but gives them more control because she knows without them they were all dead. They were recruiting people as fast as losing them and issues and drama had been stacking up in Alexandria.
In the comics she even gives Rick permission to kill the people that need killing like abusive man to move Alexandria to the next level.

What is the preachers motivation? Why throw them under this bus? They saved his ass several times.

Also, is the sound editing terrible for yall? We had to turn on subtitles just to understand some of the warehouse dialogue when the guy was dying.
