"Zombie" is a pop culture term. They've been pretty clearly trying to establish that word doesn't exist in the universe. |

A good episode for a change. Rick was soooo handsome.

Realistic or not, I think they want the viewer to buy into a show where nobody saw any concept of this coming. Otherwise, you would have heard one person joke with the other that they should have read more zombie comic books or watched more movies. It may seem annoying, but it keeps things interesting when each group tries to wrap their head around whats happening and gives it a name. The wildest one may have been Herschel thinking his neighbors were just sick and needing a cure. Come to think of it, you have to wonder if some of the sheltered ones in the new group actually know the news we learned from Jenner and Rick. |

Probably assigned a job as a priest elsewhere.
He's never really fit in with Rick's "family". He was just an outsider tagging along. |
But that doesn't explain how he just disappeared immediately. Half the group seemingly had no lines the entire episode, but we still saw them standing or sitting somewhere in the background. The priest didn't even make a short appearance. It's bad writing.
Anyway, liked the episode for the most part. It's something new. Nice to see clean homes, nice lawns, clean people.
What bothered me is that the ROTC guy is a walking cliche of a young fake tough guy. He's like every bad guy from the Karate Kid movies.

I don't think he really wants a job. He wants to leave. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

So how far into the future is the series now? Two years since the start of the zombie outbreak? One year? _________________ Kobe |

The priest was there in the background, briefly. I saw him behind Carol to the left looking ragged as she was laying down her guns for the weapons roundup and smiling suspiciously. |

Most zombie movies take place in a world without zombie movies. Otherwise everyone would be more equipped to deal with, and recognize, zombies. |

If that's the case, I stand corrected. It could be because I almost always watch this show while doing work on my laptop or something. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

I guess it was interesting. Carol is so OG. Pretty sure that little kid won't speak to anyone ever about anything. Drunk Abraham's words of wisdom were great lol. Rick is on his way to earning that Scarlet A, really think the writers want the archer to wear one too. |

So where the heck have Eugene, Tara, and Father Gabriel been? Seems like they disappeared completely. |

Carol's cookie speech to Sam.
I can't believe how much her character has changed since Season 1. She was my least favorite character and now she's one of my favorites. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Another good epsiode. Actress that plays Tasha is not good and her character needs to get the boot. |

So what I'm getting is that the crew is missing the edge of being in the wild and surviving.
Rick has major wood for the drs wife and looks like he struggles with his survival instincts of take what you want
Rick and his group may become the predators |

Not the greatest episode, but not bad.

There's been a couple 'W' references here and there so far in the second half of the season, but the most obvious one that I can think of is in the episode where Rick, Glenn and Michonne take Noah back to his family's community only to find that it had been raided already. There was this one distinct shot in this episode of Michonne with a wall/fence in the background that had been tagged 'The Wolves are coming' or something to that effect. I could only imagine that all these 'W' tags are just referencing this group nearby that call themselves 'Wolves'. |

Not a comic book reader but I'm guessing the towns people aren't bad people, just too soft to understand the real dangers.
If I lived there, id dig escape tunnels in the case the walls are brought down. One huge tunnel like the cartels use, to get out of the town with your people in case something goes down. |
