They think "defeat" is a food, obviously .... [tinfoil]

I suspect he'll be around for a while.  With the demise of the Governor and the demise of the Claimers, Rick & co. need a new arch-nemesis.

After the buildup, yeah, it would be a bummer if Rick didn't finish him with the machete.

During the scene with what's-his-name, when they were eating his leg, just as he was coming to, it really looked like one of the people in his "blurred" vision was the guy Tyrone said he killed in the cabin. He kept Carol from going in, so I wonder if he ended up not being able to kill him and just gave him an ass whooping and let him go? If so, I think there's gonna be a good regret scene coming up.

Yep.  I suspect he'll hop in and out of every episode for a while.

Welp....

After last night EVERY SINGLE ONE of my plot predictions for this season has officially gone straight to hell and died.

Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be a villain more evil that the Guvnor.

Time to invest with a red handle machete manufacturer.

I see Gareth has bitten off more than he could chew...... [popcorn] :lol: :rofl:

I would have lost all respect for Rick if he hadn't pulled that off.

So definitely the guy Tyrone said that he killed (the guy that had his hand on Judith's neck) was still alive. The others had to have recognized him, but no one has said a word about it.

Not sure that I like the group splitting up again. Last season I thought it led to a little too much scene jumping and discontinuity. The story line always seems tighter when the group is together.

Every once in a while,  I read the comments section at IMDB on one or the other of my favorite shows to catch extra plot info. I was just doing so for TWD re: my post above, and saw this thread on "what weapons do you have for the zombie apocalypse?"

None of us at APS have anything to worry about. All these fools will be out getting themselves killed and distracting the walkers for us:

I can't say that I was particularly thrilled with last night's episode.

But it was nice to see Beth again. Yowza yowza!

Was speaking with a cousin about the show last night. Despite the tactical stupidity and soap opera BS, on thing I thing I think the show does really well is explore the psychological dimension of dealing with a long-term survival situation. This episode opened a new door on how people would cope and rationalize their decisions. So, not a favorite for me either, but interesting in that sense. (Except that hearing Junior Kimbrough on vinyl in the apocalypse was pretty neat. Kudos to whichever writer/producer is a North Mississippi blues fan.  :cool:)

yup, that is one of the most inneresting aspects of the show - one thing I hope our fave zombie killers begin to realize is having a rendezvous point or two to go to in case of separation

The 'to each according to their needs' lady looks to be potentially a lot more dangerous than any of the psychopaths they've run into thus far.

The Wikipedia article for the series mentions a companion series in development using different characters than those on TWD.I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some crossover with the hospital people and/or other (potential)survivor groups along the journey to DC.A parallel vector of choices.
