Eugene isn't a scientist and does not have the cure...shocker. Not an awful episode, we have the background on Abrams anger issues anyways. Not really anything of note other than mullet boy likes to awkwardly watch others have sex.

Missed an episode three weeks ago. Haven't looked back. Life is good. Fuck AMC. :lol:

The cannibal story arc was pretty good, they could have drug it out longer though. I had a feeling we were going to get a lot of so-so episodes after the cannibals and leading up to the mid-season finale. So, I'm expecting 2 more "meh" or maybe average episodes and then a good one before the break.

Next week I'm guessing we'll get the Carol, Daryl, and Beth culmination, followed by an update with Rick, and then the mid season finale will probably be another reunion of sorts.

Yeah next week looks like it's Carol and Daryl at the hospital, and as many on here have already assumed it looks like they followed them back to the hospital and know Beth's there so they're going to clean house. Should be a good one next week, which is needed after the last two snooze fests.

I will give them credit to the extent that they had to do this now...no one with 5 brain cells believes the guy has any knowledge of anything, so to keep dragging it out would end up bringing out the Lori go-away heat. This way, if Booger Red didn't kill him already, they can do something else with him if they want. I will say though, any chance of him being a sympathetic figure disappeared with the "I know I am smarter than you" at the end...at that point you're hoping Rambo sticks his liver to the front of the firetruck.

This episode sucked donkey balls again, not so much for the content (of which there wasn't much, except I guess seeing where Booger Red's hand wound came from, and how he was a murderer before he found Eugene?) but for the logistics...I HATE mumbling, especially in fake Southern accents, and the entire opening sequence and the library were full on. Add in the 4/5 dark, can't see shit of the first 35 or 40 minutes, and they can bite me.

That said, there were a couple of subtleties I did appreciate...one was the toilet water. Not only was it dark comedy/eww gross type stuff, it is one of the few actual acknowledgements of what life would be like as a wondering survivalist ( we get entirely too many perfectly manicured yards, houses that are messed up but not decayed, and "ooh, look, pudding pops" whenever someone is hungry for my taste). Another was the voyeurism...I mean, let's face it, the chick is mega-hot as it is...and if you are going to spend the entire show exploring how humans evolve back to their basic instincts, then sex is definitely one. You are either getting it...or watching it and being jealous that other people are getting in :lol: Call it a post-apocalypse porno. They didn't seem to mind anyway.

TTD's sneak preview showed Carol & Daryl putting a small sheet-wrapped body onto a fire. I think it's too obvious to conclude it's Beth, although that seemed to be what they wanted to suggest. Sure she's fine. They wouldn't show it unless it was misleading.

People know the water in the back of the tank in a toilet is clean water, right? It's not like they're drinking poop water.


I thought it was an ok episode. I wish they would have explained who the people with Abe were though. I guess we're suppose to assume it was his wife and kids. Hopefully if shit goes down for real, my wife won't run off with the kids because I'm trying to protect them.........


as for next episode, I'm assuming it's going to be an older child/walker that reminded Carole of Sophia.

just saying, it's cleaner than poop water :lol:


Of course, they had "500 gallons" of water at their disposal until Mullet Magoo used it to wash away all the Walkers........

This was my thought. They were hard up for water then stumble across a 500 gallon water tank fire truck and proceed to use it on like 10 walkers that they could have just walked away from and tactically killed with knives.

Well, duh.

Hence my sarcasm font on "shocker" :lol: Actually, I wish they would have dragged out Mullet boys lie just so they could finally gtf out of Georgia and see what else is going on. You know that they are just going to keep hovering around the same damn area for the rest of the season. And as mentioned above, the mid-season finale will be a house-clearing by Darryl and Carroll of the hospital ala Terminus, then likely a near-complete reunion that leaves a couple characters stranded somewhere to hold our interest. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

Even though this was another boring episode, at least it developed some character background and advanced the story...this episode was kind of necessary to set up the rest of the season. And I'm not positive Abrams is a "murderer" per se...I thought at first that he encountered a couple bad eggs in the super market and killed them to protect his wife and kids. But considering him beating Eugene to death or near death, you can tell his family ran away because of his anger issues...guessing he didn't have to beat that guy to death with canned goods. I mean, he only believed Eugene out of purposeful ignorance after seeing his family dead...he had to know that day was coming. Oh and btw...these convos between Maggie and Glenn seem to be setting up one of them being offed. They really don't do much for me anymore, so I don't care if they do.
