I finally caught up!

 

Spoiler

Rick aint dying! He's the main character, they wont kill him. 

 

I hope Beth dies

 

Spoiler

Mhmmmm. That's what everyone says right before the character dies.

Spoiler

This episode wasn't bad. Did anyone else get secretly super angry when Noah took Daryl's crossbow?  I was like you little fucker... 

 

Anyway, I guess we know it was Noah that Daryl took back with him now. I'm thinking that the group that was with Eugene is going to go back to the church and then they're all going to go to the hospital? Either way, hospital people are fucked.

Spoiler

I don't think it will be Noah who Daryl takes back.  Did Daryl not seem like they would know who it was that came out of the bushes?  I cant remember what he said but it seemed like it was a hey look whos back moment.  I think there is a plot still there which would tie in with the mid session end.

Season 4, Episode 14 "The Grove"

Spoiler

I knew she was going to snap eventually, but I didn't expected it so "soon".  

 

*goes back to watching last twelve minutes*

 

Spoiler

 

 

Man do they know how to nail the last two-three episodes of a season. Every. Damn. Time.
Between this episode and what happened in episode 8... my head is spinning.
I NEED MOAR!

 

Ugh, only two more new episodes in November before they take off for two months. BS! 

Almost wish I wasn't this far along in getting caught up now.

Everyone ready? Few more hours until the next episode.

I'm not, of course because...

 

Season 5, Episode 3

 

Spoiler

THEY ATE HIS FUCKING LEG :|

 

Episode 4

 

Spoiler

Oh joy. Beth is back.
Okay, not a HORRIBLE episode but... while I really enjoyed the dynamic between her & Darryl, she should never do anything solo. Thankfully Carol has showed up at least. Man she's become such a badass since season one.

 

Episode 5

 

Spoiler

I got nothing.
...
What? I'm about to watch it now.
Plenty of time to get caught up.

Not sure what I'm looking forward to the most now on Sundays: New Walking Dead (for like one or two more weeks) or new Comic Book Men. lol

[Kat]

 new Comic Book Men. 

 

Don't mean to derail the thread but omg how can you stand this show?? Anyone I meet who says this I have to ask WHY!! Lol

IDK. I find it hilarious... most of the times. Though some episodes/moments make do me cringe.

Think my favorite episodes are the one that get a bit more personal for the staff: like how they rallied together to get Mike that George Perez sketch for their friend post-hurricane devastation).

Thought it was a lot better when it was as an the hour time slot though. Everything seems a bit rushed now.

And if Walt wasn't as big of a dick to practically everyone (but no one is perfect).

TBH a small part of it might be being a Kevin Smith fan LONG before CBM was even a passing thought. (Even have an autographed Jay & Silent Bob poster by Kevin Smith that shipped from there back in...  2003- 2004ish.) Have also wanted to visit that store since probably Mallrats or Dogma came out.

Now I'm terrified to be the next fat kid Walt picks on.

I also love Ming's and Mike's podcast: I Sell Comics (1000x better than the show, imo).

 

Back on topic...

Episode 5

 

Spoiler

Can't say I'm honestly surprised about there not being a cure (that he's aware of anyways), but despite this Eugene seems quite useful. Would have been best to have admitted his lie earlier and stayed with Rick's group.

His personality can be... annoying... but only because it reminds me so much of mine own. Intelligent, introverted, social situations and skills near completely lacking... but a good heart who means well. Misguided: conflicted between his own interests and these people he's growing close to.
Really hope he lasts beyond this season.

Abraham... liked his interaction with Rick and the shared leadership. Would love it if everyone finds themselves together again soon and they can get that dynamic going. When they were together it felt like (to me anyways) they could overcome anything and everything thrown at them. Had an interesting backstory in this episode... interesting but not surprising. Reminds me of my _____ of an ex - redhead, bipolar, medically discharged Marine.... @#$!%

 

Rosita?

 

The thing that surprises me most though is Maggie. Does she even remember having a sister? It's like "hey I know she was kidnapped but f* it I'm going to Washington". Then when she's talking with Glenn she seemed more concerned about the group than Beth. It's okay Maggie, I feel the same way.

Nancy (or is it Judy? Whatever lady-cop's name is!) has a heart? What? 

 

I have to admit that I didn't really pay attention to this episode. I got really distracted for no reason lol. I'll have to watch it again.

[Alexiel]

Episode 6

 

Spoiler

Ho-ly shit. How the heck did they survive that drop?! What if it landed nose down instead of on all fours?! Oh man, that's why I absolutely HATE overpasses. The higher the worse I tremble driving over them. And it's not so much I doubt the capacity to hold my & multiple vehicles... but I don't trust other drivers worth a damn. Too many wreckless drivers on the road. Too many only care about themselves and it's going to get them or someone else killed.
Would take a horde of zombies over my "fellow" man any day.

Heh. And then the walkers start falling down on top of the van. No longer The Walking Dead more like The Raining Dead. lol
"Mild case of undeath on the forecast this evening with a 33% chance of fire and brimstone."

Really liked this episode. Would not mind seeing a Daryl & Carole spin-off, mini series, or something. Maybe even Daryl, Carole, and Beth - the Three's Company of the Undead. lol

Would love to see some more of these episodes with flashbacks interweaved into the story. Get more background info on all the characters... before they die at least. Especially want to see Glenn's, Noah's, and Rosita's. Couple episodes dedicated to Tyrese and his gang.

Hope Noah gets a good, "long" run with Team Rick. Then again as fast as they cycle through the "token Black character" my hopes are slim. Guarantee if Morgan becomes a recurring character it's the end of Tyrese or Noah.
Now that I think about it... lost Bob gained Noah.

 

Yay! Finally (essentially) caught up!

 

 

Probably watch last night's episode before the day is done.

Have until the 30th anyways... and after that The Walking Break until Feb 8, 2015. Bleh!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who got distracted while watching this episode. XD  I feel like there was too much going on in this episode.  We're talking 3 separate scenarios in one episode.  I kinda got lost.

 

And yep, cops are still assholes, though I shouldn't say they're "cops" since one of the detained guys said the cops were all gone.

Episode 7

Finally caught up! Wh00t wh00t!

 

 

Spoiler

This episode was... okay.

A little slow for my taste. But that's probably because they crammed about two episodes worth of content into one.

Like... the stuff going on at the church seemed almost completely pointless.

Maybe some character development for Gabriel, but with everything else going on it felt like the wrong time for it.. or they could have committed less time than they did at the very least.

Same with Abraham's/Glenn's group.

It would have been better, in my opinion, to commit these two events into one episode while the stuff going on at the hospital & the stuff with Rick's group this episode. That way more time and development could have been given to all four situations & groups. But I guess we'll see how it plays itself out.

Though on the other hand it was just enough time to see Abraham come to terms with things (maybe even including himself) and the group realize Eugene may not be as useless as he appears. He may be the weakest link physically but that mind of his thinks outside the box AND knows quite a few tricks & skills the others could definitely use. Think I'm rooting for him the strongest out of all the new guys.

 

I did like watching the inner struggle with Gabriel.

When he was trying to escape I was certain he was about to reveal some hidden, dark side.
Maybe he "killed" the original priest, hid the body under the floor, he became a Walker, and was about to execute him with the machete.

Seems though this is just too much. He's split between everything he's known as a man of God, his own inner demons/what he had to do to survive, and then this reality slap across the face that Rick's group brought.

As such I fully expected him to do a quick prayer for the girl in the woods, but he chose to spare her as she was apparently a woman of faith. Again, the struggles within - tearing him apart.

I'm expecting him to eventually go through the same motions Hershel did back at the farm: if I stay by myself we'll be fine, the world's gone to crap but God/the church/my "home" will protect me... to okay this is real, it's not just a nightmare/happening elsewhere it's on my front door... to acceptance. Maybe pull a Carole and become a stronger character/member of Rick's group. Maybe sacrifice himself to save the others - a sort of repentance. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

 

Not sure what to think about Carole's current situation.

Dawn... also no idea.

Dr. Stevens... expected to have Beth kill Carole tbh.

The one thing I am sure about is the hospital will probably be their next base of operations much like the farmhouse and penitentiary for the bulk of their respective seasons.
As such I kinda hope at least Dawn and Dr. Stevens stick around.

Which brings me to the cop at the very end.

Seemed like a good guy. Think he originally was.

But he said it himself: "there's no good cops left".

Which may very well be why the likes of him and Rick have survived for so long.

The good end up dying.

So while what he did to Sasha caught me a bit off guard, I can understand why he would in times like these.

I don't think he's a bad guy, especially in comparison to his fellow hospital security/cops. Hope he gets a chance to redeem himself.

I missed the last fifteen minutes of TWD but THANKS TO FACEBOOK, I NOW KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

I was talking to my Dad during the episode and I said "they're gonna kill someone for sure, they didn't reveal the talking dead guest. I bet it's Beth"

YUP I KNEW IT WRITERS I'M ON TO YOU!

Spoiler

I haven't even watched the episode yet since it hasn't aired here and I'm downloading it right now, but thanks to Facebook I know Beth dies.

FINALLY. She was getting on my nerves.

Now let's see what I have to say after I watch the actual episode.

[Karla]

Spoiler

I knew someone was going to die in this episode.  I said to myself it was going to be either Carol or Beth.  I thought it was going to be Carol, but it turned out to be Beth.  I can't say I'm sad to see her go, but I didn't expect her to die in this episode.

 

I'm glad Dawn died.  She kept using Beth until the very end, and ended up getting the both of them killed.  I look forward to the second half of the season.

 

Also, lolFacebook.

ok wtf.. that ending was a bit more intense than what I read. I mean Beth kinda did deserve what she got and I'm glad she's dead, but the way it happened it just sad. 

I'm sooo glad that Dawn is dead now though too.

OH SHIT

I like how she shoots Beth then is like wait I didn't mean it. Die!

Spoiler

The entire episode I was waiting for that moment. Thanks to the Status Updates I knew someone was going to die, and yeah... I had hoped it was Beth. She annoyed the heck out of me (especially with her singing).

Then the moment at the elevator came, and for a moment I actually thought it might be Dawn. That we were witnessing the character development necessary for Rick's group to come to the hospital. That things were changing for the better there. That it was about to go down that elevator shaft with Dawn.

Nope.
So more waiting. More wondering. A little bit of hoping it was still her, and a part of me wanted it to be someone else just to keep the mystery. Heck, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was Gentle Ben Tyrese.

 

Then the prisoner exchange and... stupid, stupid girl. She just had to have it your way. She could have just left with the group and no one had to die.

Hell, Noah might have had it better with more and more of the corrupt cops biting the bullet.

I can't blame Dawn for shooting her. It was pure instinct. You could tell she truly didn't mean to, and I believe that with all my heart.

 

Dang shame though. Would have liked everyone to cross paths down the road.

And even though, of the current cast, Beth was my least favorite character... they certainly knew how to write her off to make me care in the end. That if she was going to die, I would have rather it been any other way that how it went down. Tugged at my heart.

 

But that's just me I suppose.

Curious to see how Maggie and Glenn react in the next few episodes... in February. Noah, too.

 

Stupid, stupid girl... smh...
