When that truck came bursting into the yard and the bloke driving it jumped out, me and my friend who was watching it too- we were PMing each other having synced up our videos- both were convinced that it was Glenn. I was like: "Is that...?" And she was like, "I think it is."

But then Glenn showed up and baffled us again. Also the Gov seemed really surprised about the truck too... and they were fully masked? Can't figure out if it was a random Townie NPC or actual character. Hmm.

 

Not sure why, but I honestly thought that was Andrea for a brief second as the figure seemed like a woman when running away from the truck after dropping off the walkers, but then I remembered she wanted to see people, not kill them and she's in the preview for next week so, not her.

Still, I guess that'll become the next part of the plot following business with the Governor being finished, as the Daryl & Merle roadtrip was cut abruptly short.

 

Daryl looked so freaking depressed when he was with Merle, it was really sad. He was missing his family. Then he heard a crying baby and he was off. That man sure does love babies.

 

I just loved the sign as they were walking off the bridge, "Yellow Jacket Creek". Guess big brother isn't always right.

 

Wow, this week's episode. Just goddamn, son.

 

Great episode.

That backback guy was too funny. "Wait!! WAAAIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!"

 

I was kind of struck by the pointlessness of that guy's ending. He makes it through a year of zombies and bandit survivors, apparently alone and on foot, only to get eaten chasing down some random car in the middle of nowhere. :/

I still lol'd when they stopped and backed up to snatch his pack though...

 

I highly doubt that guy was alone and on foot for a year; he sounded pretty desperate. More than likely his group just got killed and he was the only survivor.

Well, 'was' the only survivor.

 

Me and my friend were hoping he would be making regular appearances, like whenever anyone went out he'd just be there yelling out to the and they'd just ignore him.

But his end was pretty funny, and them going back for his pack just cemented the perfect horrible people awards I am planning to hand out. Heh.

 

If anything it goes to show just how much everyone's matured. I say matured, not the right word but you know what I mean. I think it's gotten to the point where they're just desensitised. Anyone from the outside now is basically a threat when you look at who they've recently bumped into/picked up.

Definitely the best episode this season if for nothing else other than there being no Andrea bullshit or Woodbury shit-stirring. Looks like we start getting places next week though I somehow see a whole heap of corny coming with Andrea.

 

No Andrea and no Woodbury was totally a plus, yeah. My favourite episode of the series.

 

Fair enough. Part of my point still stands though, imo. The dude made it through a year of the zombie apocalypse, just to die like that. To be fair though, he clearly wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, considering how much noise he was making, both with his screaming and the clattering of the pots and pans hanging from his pack. What kind of walker-bait moron carries what amounts to a jangling dinner bell in zombieland?

By the way, has anyone else been getting weird, unrequited Beth/Rick vibes from some of their interactions over the last few episodes? I haven't seen or heard anyone else mention it, but it seems to me like Beth has been acting awfully interested lately. At least, you know, when Rick isn't in the middle of losing his goddamned mind.

 

Havn't really picked up on it, then again I'm told I tend to be rather slow to pick up on those things.

I'm pretty dissapointed they didn't take the mines or handgrenades though, you could make a hell of a welcome party with those and some ingenuity.

 

There is a character is the comic that tries to get a

threesome

going on between Lori and Rick. Maybe they are going on that route, except Lori is dead so that would be weird. Lol.

Ghost!Lori/Chick/Rick

is more likely.

EDIT: Just checked, apparently its

Carol that tries it.

 

Bit of a filler episode, was still great. I think that Rick thought that the backpacker guy was a trap from Woodburry.

It's cool that they have tons of guns and ammo now. Maybe in the next gunfight they will actually hit something.

 

Well, look at Woodbury. The residents are so sheltered that if something ever happened to the town and the residents got separated; only a few of them would make it more than a day or two. To me it seemed like the guy was only alive because of the work of someone else and now that he's alone, he was screwed.

 

Cool to see Morgan back in it. I had wondered about him and thought that maybe they would have thrown him in with Tyronnes group.

It just goes to show what one smart guy can do though. Go a good long way to clearing a whole town of Walkers.

 

Yes, especially since Beth is acting like "mommy" with the baby and several times has given an occasional lingering kiss (to the cheek, but still) or glance to Rick. That coupled with the singing makes me feel that either her time is running out or she has a major crush on him.

Clear has been the best episode of the last couple. I loved the zombie traps and the arsenal in Morgan's base. The last two episodes before it felt like they had 10-15 minutes of "good stuff" and the rest was just soap opera bs.

 

Yeah, I was getting the same vibes off of Beth, especially when everyone got back from Woodbury and she kissed him on the cheek.

A couple of weeks ago, the had the chick who plays Beth on the Talking Dead and they pretty much directly asked her about it. She said that it wasn't anything like that, just that Beth had been all super appreciative of Rick saving her sister.

I know that's exactly what she'd probably have to say if there actually were something going on between the two. But yeah, I believed it.

 

This whole episode was used to highlight the changes in Rick's personality. First season, he would not have left that backpacker behind. Now, he's ruthless enough to scavenge the remains. I also saw it as a welcome return of some of Rick's sanity. He was going through some strange hallucinatory episode--but seeing Morgan, a last vestige of his past--has jolted him back to himself. Hopefully, we'll see some better leadership from him now.
