Ok , the show is pretty good , I like the BBC show Survivors better, but this is ok, what I dont understand is this , why do they drive a 1975 POS Winnabago ? I mean everyone is dead right? why not drive one of those $500,000 motorhomes ? same with the car a 1973 jeep wagoneer , please Id be driving a Hummer or a Mercedes SUV! The guy on the motorcycle , rides this klunkity POS , why not stop in at a Harley Shop and get a brand new Eletraglide? I personally think it has to do with budgets for the show, I could be wrong , but I wouldnt driving anyof that trash , I wouldnt stuck with the guns they have either , I would have hit every gun shop I could find , I do like the crossbow though! Those "good ol boys" Cops dont re-load? are you kidding me?
Please list your observations this could be fun!

I've watched a few episodes,but missed this last Sunday as we had no power.
I missed like the first few weeks.But it does seem odd that they don't reinforce the vehicles so they can push traffic out of the way.
And plow through zombies of coarse.

I had about the best laugh I've had in a while over the swimmer scene. Old T-Dog deadpanned it perfectly. Great line. The pregnancy is just one step over the line for me. Too danged much drama. They can't finish 6 problems before the writer throws three more at them. They could slow that down a tad.

Plot twists are great to me. I can't wait to see which one of the villians, Shane or Merle, kills the other one.
Merle will be back next week. He's 'ornery.

There are deuce and a halfs everywhere....there are .50 BMG (M-2) with ammo everywhere. Turn the 2.5 ton trucks into armor upped gun trucks! you can carry a lot of ammo and other supplies. With 2 gun trucks and one supply/personal up armored truck, you have redundancy in parts, plenty of ground clearance (and zombie crushing ability) and more than enough room for food, fuel and other supplies.

Okay, so I downloaded the first five episodes and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The suspense in episode one nearly killed me when he woke up and didn't know what was going on. And when he came around the corner in Atlanta and there was a horde of zombies and he had to dive into the tank! I think I spent most the time sittin on the edge of my seat, but if I were him I think I would have checked for fuel in that tank. I don't know the first thing about how to fire one of those up but I would of at least tried, couldn't of really hurt any to try at least.
So far I have watched the first three episodes, four and five will be tomorrow....

I typically don't look for the metaphorical message in your standard zombie movie. I don't ponder for hours over the writer's use of hyperbole or some surreptitious message. I generally just sit down with my cricket bat, give a good belch as a starter and enjoy.

I liked last weeks episode where they found Rick down the well and tried getting him out...wait...that wasn't Rick? Ooops, my bad! :blush: :creepy: :whistling: :innocent: :sneaky2:
Well now, 1st, every week there seems to be a "gross-out" scene. Also, what's up with "Farmer john," the Vet? Anybody else suspicious of his behavior? I'm betting he's got some "zombiefied" relatives stashed somewhere in that barn...and just who was the guy in the well and how'd he get there? Hmmm...:cool2:
What were you watching? Rick was busy bleeding out. They did mention the "generator shack out back" so they answered the question about the lights.

AMEN! With that kind of artillery I just might start hunting zombies. Not much use in trying to rebuild with the zombie threat always present.
As for issues with the show, I missed the most recent episode as well, but I sure as hell wouldn't have every light in the house on at night with zombies running around. Oh yeah, they closed the gate, guess that keeps zombies out.
I want to see just one Fred Astaire zombie go dancing down the interstate. Maybe Bill Murray like he was in Zombieland. I think it would be really cool if they ran into Shaun from Shaun of the Dead just walking down the highway with a cricket bat or maybe with Ed already a zombie and a chain around his neck leading him down the road.

The zombies do have an odor. Several times, people have covered there noses upon killing one. Also, last season, there was an episode called "Guts" where they touched base on scent.

It's a pretty crappy show. I watched the first season but so far nothing has happened that they didn't steal from "28 Days Later." If that's all they've got I'll just watch the movie again. And what a weak cast. The writing is even worse. I wanted so badly to like this show but it's a steaming turd IMOHO.
Sarge - You hit the Zombie on the head with that one. Get it? Hit the Zombie....anyway. I don't know about you but my good friend Daryl is an hombre not to be messed with. Arrow shot, gun shot, falls down a cliff...twice....attacked by two zombies and still comes out victorious. I had visions of Caesar giving him a joyous thumbs up as he stood in the middle of the Coliseum with dead tigers and gladiators scattered about. Anybody that can pull an arrow out of their own body and use it to drop the enemy I want on my side during the great Apocalypse....red neck or not.

Daryl rocks! I'd want him with me in a SHTF situation for sure! He doesn't mess around; :thumbs_up: don't know about his "other brother Daryl!" :yes: Best scene this week, Daryl comes out of his hallucination state to find the image of his brother has been replaced with a real Zombie trying to eat his foot! :scared: ("Ah c'mon! Quit pulling my leg!" get it?) Like the "ears on a string" necklace.I suspect they'll all be the rage soon! :yes:
I think we have gotten off track with this conversation. We were talking about transportation. With no electricity and the difficulty in pumping gas, I suggest we build a chariot type vehicle with the horse yolks in the middle, between the chariots. We then lasso up a bunch of those dead fellas and yolk em up so they are chasing the humans in the front chariot. Kind of like dangling a carrot in front of them that they will never catch.

@curt , ever notice how they got vehicles on Gilligans island , but could never build a boat that floated! Aside from that ,last nights episode caught my interest again , the beginning kinda showed what happened , didnt explain how the zombies became but it did show the beginning with the military bombing (Atlanta, then again those could've of just been the regular police choppers flying around ), and the ending left alot of suspense as to what lies ahead!
I think the best line I've heard so far was when Maggie shot Daryl. She and Dale were sitting and talking and she said, "I shot Daryl", to which Dale replied,
"Don't be too hard on yourself. We've all wanted to shoot Daryl."

Ok, I have a question. I've been watching and the last few episodes on the farm with the walkers in the barn. Well, hershal(sic) calls them people. Great, they are either dead or alive, and dead is easy. Alive is the difficult thing. So...
If it was discovered that the walkers were sick, a virus, would you want to help them? And I'm talking months after the infestation started so you know they've been rotting and gnawing on other people. Would you try to wrangle them up and cure them?
I don't think I could. How would they feel, skin falling off and knowing they ate people. I'd say put them down and save the cure for any newly bit victims who haven't eaten other people yet.

Even if it was a virus and you cured them, they woud die again within seconds. You can't tell me that once they are cured taht they would live anyway when they are missing so much flesh and organs. Not too mention the infection immediately there from the rot.
I always wondered what one would look like after dumping a bucket of Hydrogen Peroxide on it. Oh the bubbles!
If they find a cure for the zombie virus I'm going to invest heavily in band-aid stocks.

I think that Carol and Daryl will pair up now that Sophia is dead.It's quite obvious that she like him.
Can you pickle a zombie after you kill it? Daryl is pretty handy with wilderness stuff. Maybe he'll just pickle Sophia and set her in the back of the RV. That will probably win points with Carol. He could attach some strings and make her a marionette. He could make her a puppet but that would be really gross.

I'm thinkin' ole' Herchel is in for a world class azz chewin' for not tellin' about Sophia. Daryl is gonna be none too happy to find out he got thrown down the mountain twice, stabbed and shot and nearly gnawed on for naught. He didn't even get to keep the ears!

I'm betting he blames it on Otis.
Dead guys are always good to blame I don't care what the circumstances. Say, for instance, you're standing in a bank holding...or....$20,000 or so and there's a dead guy layin' on the floor. And just then the police walk in. That would be a good time to point at the dead guy and say, "It's his fault but I wrestled the money from him," OR "It's his fault he forced me to hold it."
Or you're at a funeral home and you happen to pass gas at the wrong time. Just point at the dead guy and slowly shake your head with a disgusted look on your face and then tell you're wife after the funeral that it really wasn't me...I mean you. You know what I mean.
Anywhoo.....I think you can see how that might be to Herchel's advantage.

Shane is a "Whatever the He!! it takes" kind of person. He doesn't need a chance. He will simply wipe out anyone who stands in his way of accomplishing his objective. So far, Rick has been pretty good at keeping Shane at bay. After the last episode, I really think Rick is losing his ability there.
If you saw the preview for the next show, you will see that Hershel does place the blame on Otis for Sophia. What I don't get is that Otis knew as well they were looking for a little girl. Why didn't he say anything to the group about it to close the case. Also, I believe that Otis would have informed Hershel of any new walkers being added to the barn since Hershel is as tight as he is. If Hershel knew, why didn't he tell the group? He has been wanting them to go ASAP and letting them know of Sophia would have gotten the group out of there as soon as Carl healed.

@1stimestar Just exactly what is it that they are standing up for? All of them have cell phones , cell phone service with internet , computers , tablets , all are are made from greedy corporations , that do business with the greedy banks they are accusing of such atrocities , I see them crying about theres no jobs ,but everywhere I go theres "help wanted signs , sure your not gonna make $100k a year , but its doubtful if any of these "college kids" ever made any money in the first place , sure theres a few middle aged folks out there ,college professors who've been given leave , I think they call it a sabbatical, beside wasting millions of dollars from the cities who in turn will have to raise taxes to pay for these losers , just what is it that they stand for?

I think you are right on with Shane being a (horray for me,screw you) kind of guy.Not sure what would happen if Shane and Rick got into it.But Shane did tell Dale to back off,that Rick was like a brother.I'm surprised that Glenn didn't see Sophia in the barn.But I guess he was just shocked at there being walkers in there.
all are are made from greedy corporations , that do business with the greedy banks Institutions can not have emotion or possess human traits. They have a culture and they have operational morals but not emotions. It is the responsibility of every corporate leader to create profit and wealth for the corporation and, hence, themselves. It's called the American Dream. It's called Capitalism. If it is not illegal and you don't like it then contact those that represent you and ask them to change the rules. If what they do is illegal then the system will catch them, eventually, and those within the corporation that are responsible will be held accountable. We've seem many, many examples of this during the current down cycle. The wheels of justice, as they say, turn slowly but they do, none-the-less, turn.

Does anybody else find it strange that there's no dog/dogs in show?
I mean talk about the ultimate walker warning system.Certainly there has to be lots of strays as well.Not all of them could have fallen victim to the walkers.
The writers probably haven't considered it. I'm not aware of many farms that don't have at least mutt runnin' around so I'm surprised old Herschel didn't have one or two and I know he wouldn't feed THEM to the walkers. You don't see many animals at all. A couple of horses that needed to be in the script, the deer that got the kid shot and that's about it. Out of all those cars and trucks on the highway you'd have thought there would have been little lap yappers runnin' around all over the place. I would have thought there would have been packs running around Atlanta. No cows, no birds, no nothin'.

I think the writing on this show has gotten slightly better in season 2, as opposed to season 1. They did everything wrong in season 1.
Though, in season 2, they are not as of yet cured of stupidity. Why do they keep going back to this stupid pharmacy for just one or two things? Why not take everything, so you no longer need to go back?

Dale plays too many mind games. I agree with the burial of the gun thing.
Andrea is stepping up to becoming a true survivor, but her suicidal underlyings also have me concerned.
Shane is a true survivor, but he is also a risk of safety to the group.
Darryl is a true survivor as well, but I think he is on the verge of losing his sanity.
Rick is the glue of the group, but his leadership is starting to slack just a tad.
Lorie being pregnant is a huge liability and she possesses no special skill set.
Carl is at the age where he is picking things up and has potential.
I forget the name of the black guy, He seems to go with the flow and pulls his weight with what the group decides.
And the asain guy is smart, fast, agile, and under utilized.
Considering all this, my pick would have to be Dale. He plays too many mind games and doesn't contribute to the group other than standing watch. In a crisis, he is slow and with is age I'm sure there are some health issues arising.
At first I thought Lori being pregnant and the liability that brings. She does pull her weight with camp chores however. A bigger concern would be that her death will hinder Rick and his already decreasing ability to lead. This could lead to a group division. I also think it would hinder Carl from getting to his full potential since he is at an impressionable age.
I missed last night's episode so you guys have some info I don't have. I'll have to pick that up on reruns or online. Here's my read without last nights update.
Dale is smarter than you guys are giving him credit for. He's a good read of people, which is an asset if the people aren't zombies of course. I don't think he was burying the guns just hiding them from Shane. Dumb move I agree because of what could happen but he's got Shane's number and knew there was going to be trouble. It also gave the writers a way of pitting him against Shane one on one with no one else around. I haven't made my mind up on his view toward Andrea yet. I want to think that he's really concerned because of her past mental state but he might have designs of his own, too.
Shane is bad news across the board. Lori was a score for him. Nothing more and his treatment of Otis is pretty indicative of who he really is. The real hero in all this is Daryl. It will be interesting to see if Daryl and Shane face off or even T-Dog and Shane.

"The real hero in all this is Daryl. It will be interesting to see if Daryl and Shane face off or even T-Dog and Shane."
Honestly,I think the real hero is Glenn.He basically has saved Rick and half the group a few times.
Maybe an unsung hero.
I agree with your thoughts on Glenn. Person for person, I think Glenn is the best one in the group. He shows a good moral compass, is very intelligent, he's fast and agile, steps up when called upon, very courageous, and tries to avoid politics. Glenn is my boy!

Just an observation.
But if the walkers eat,they must crap.........just saying.
Otherwise there would be some very bloated walkers.Besides,the walker that Rick and Daryl disected to look in the stomach had a semi-digested
possum in there.
Maybe that's why they run so slow. You can't run fast when you gotta go. If you do you won't have to go any more.

The trailer shows Rick, Hershel, and Glen trapped in the bar surrounded by the two dead dudes' gun-toting buddies. Looks like a good old fashioned gun fight.

02-13-2012, 10:26 AM

I think they are both equal on the danger level, they are just dangerous in different ways. A walker is dead, it is a gauranteed enemy without doubt. A human is unknown, although as pushy as they guys were about the farm, it was a little obvious. I think additional people to the group can be an asset, but those people have give the group a reason to add them. Just because you ask doesn't mean you get accepted.

02-13-2012, 11:50 AM
Additional "good" people would be an asset.
The other thing which bothers me is there is all this stuff around, useful stuff, and not one of these morons can figure out how to make a flame thrower from a garden sprayer? Nor how to make an electric gas siphon out of tubing and an electric gas pump? Never mind all the weapons and ammo they just leave behind. Nor how much ammo they wasted killing the barn zombies. This is definitely a time for "one shot, one kill"!

Why did Rick's wife drive after them? That lady's charecter is getting on my nerves.
That also blew my mind.She's never chased after them before and stayed put.
Rick and Glenn were well aware of Hershal's daughter being in shock.
Why all of a sudden freak out and go off looking for them?Even when you have to use a map to find the center of town.
Anybody else notice Daryl whittling what appeared to be a bolt for his cross bow?
Can a modern cross bow even fire something that can splinter so easy?I hope he had some pionts made up for them.Or the whole skull penetration
concept would be way off base.
Personally, I think her going after them was a way to lose the baby since she didn't really know who's it was. That was going to be a complication. The next episode will tell if I'm right or not but I can't see them taking the baby thing to conclusion. We'll see.

I was happy Dale finally got it. He was too naive for zombie land. Glad to see Shane go as well. The group should come together with both of their radical members gone.

The Zombie virus must be airborne or all of them are carriers and all they need to do is die to become a zombie.
I'm disappointed that the show has no good female character.

The guards on the"18 miles out" episode.Randal and now Shane had not been bitten.
So,I'm guessing it's airborne.Unless somehow Shane cut himself after stabbing the zombie in the head during the school bus siege.
Also believe that Andrea will become a more important character and other female leads will join the group.
Winter
03-12-2012, 03:35 PM
Shane did cut himself, on purpose, during the school bus scene.
With all the blood spraying around I'm surprised they haven't spouted zombie heads by the dozen. Rick had Shane's blood all over him in last night's episode. I've always found it odd that you could have the blood all over your face and hands and not contract it and let one of them scratch you and zap you're a zombie.
I like the carrier idea. I don't recall Dale getting covered in blood and if it was airborne he should have popped right up. Maybe that's the difference.
letslearntogether47
03-12-2012, 04:02 PM
I know.In the episode"Guts"they cover themselves in blood.
But,then take the time to put mask and glasses on and discuss avoiding blood in the mouth.
Of course this is before the secret whisper from Jenner at the CDC to Rick.
Not sure if anybody else noticed this.But nobody,living or a walker has glasses on.
The odds of that happening is like......oh impossible.
Even Dale and Herschel didn't have corrective lenses.
I just hope the zombie that attacks me turns out to be near sighted. Woot!

Nope, no road trip. You'll notice at the end they pan up and you see a structure in the distance, obviously an old prison. I've been telling my wife they needed to find a prison since the show started. It looks like Rick finally realized they needed somewhere fortified, but he, nor anyone else, had any idea of what that could be, they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Concrete or steel walls with minimal windows and ideally a sturdy fence. Warehouses, old army bases, schools, these might all work, but the structure most fortified would be a prison.

I agree with you Chris. A prison would also contain food, water, and medical supplies. Prison might also have vehicles and it's own fuel source. The only concern I'd have with a prison is the thousands of walkers there, or thousands of regular dead. That would have to be cleared out and could be quite labor intensive for a small group.

Bingo! Being able to remain self sufficient behind the walls is key. The other thing that has yet to be revealed is that even though everyone is "infected", what is the long term effect of it without actually dieing? It seemed like it warped Shanes mind over time and I can't help but to wonder if it is doing the same to Rick. Of course it could be just the stress and experiences of the new life style in general that is causing it. I just can't believe that a disease that can make walkers has no effect whatsoever on the living that carry it.

I don't know about the finale. Once on the road it was pretty good, but the whole zombie attack on the farm was absurd. You don't have to goat zombies on to chasing you, sorry rick, yelling at them was dumb. Amazing how so many of the group can tap head shots from moving vehicles. The first plan of driving off with the zombies following would have worked just fine.
As for Rick's little speech, he might have tried starting with "shane tried to kill me, it was me or him". I don't know, it just keeps going in and out of awesomeness. Dale's death was terrible (as in stupid). Shane vs Rick was awesome. I'm not fond of the "we're all infected" aspect, is that in the comics too?

Didn't read the comics, but the best choice is a decommissioned prison, ie empty. A decommissioned military base would work too, but probably would not be as fortified as a prison. Old mental hospitals, etc, might also work. You could even use an old civil war fort or something, one that had been turned into a tourist attraction, but it wouldn't have the more modern amenities of a prison.

Slightly OT, but related. My son has always been a fan of really scarey movies. One Friday night shortly after Christmas, when he was about 12 or 13, I came home from working a late shift. There he sat in front of the television, watching one of the Jason or Friday the 13th movies.

That was probably the best epesode of the series. I bet Rick doesn't anyone else go to chance. He will kill everything that will get in the way now. This is going to push him into Shane teritory.Can't wait for the rest of the season.

No,they never showed it.Just heard the shot.But after last nights episode there's no doubt Lori is gone.
There was a few confusing parts during the show last night.Glenn digs 3 hole or one and then the prisoners dig 2.
Odd,seeing how they only found T dog and not Carol or Lori's bodies.
But,that was definitely an....awwwwwwww.....moment when Darrel fed the baby.I do like his name for the baby as well.lol

I watched The Talking Dead on demand last night.
They had the director Greg Nicataro and a guest celeb.
The celeb said the holes are dug just for remebrance and there are no bodies in them.
The director stated that 2 of the holes had remains.But he had that look like something was being hidden.
There's been a lot of talk that the grave that is Carol's,where Daryl lays the rose only has the scarve they found by T Dog's body.
This would explain why Nicataro stated 2 of the graves had remains.
The director also stated that we will find out pronto,who is on the phone.
I'll be watched for sure this Sunday night.

If you paid close attention to the quick scenes of next season you may have noticed Daryl and his ever-present cross-bow running through the woods. That slut, Andrea, has to start seeing the truth sooner or later.:drool:
Little Carl is becoming a new hero of the group, he's getting to be quite hardened! When the series started out most of the TV audience hated him, but now that he's becoming more like Daryl they're warming up to him! When this season started somebody on here asked why did they move the time frame up 8 months. That was explained later, they had to have a reason why Carl was a lot bigger than before. :sailor:
Daryl, though, is by far the TV fans favorite! :thumbup1:
February 10th they will be back with another 8 episodes, I can hardly wait!
And for those of you that missed some of the episodes, New Year's Eve and New Year's day they will run all 3 season's Episodes back-to-back, and in order! :clap:

Norman Reemus is the MAN... His character Daryl just reinforces that. They've gone so far off the comic already I hope he sticks around for a long time (he's not even in the comic yet when they get to the prison).
I never had a problem with Carl in the early episodes. If anything, I though he was doing a very good job at being your average kid. That was good cause you got to see him man up quite a bit over the series. It would be odd if he started out hard *** or hadn't become hard *** yet.

Agree,
I would think if somebody had a vision like that,and were the leader of a group.They would at least try to keep it to themselves.
Breaking down like that in front of Tyreese's group was a little off.
And,why is is shunning Michone like that.What the heck did she do to get such BS from Rick.
All I've seen her do is help them.
Any thoughts on Glenn's stability?He really lost it for a moment when he stomped that walkers head in.

I gave up watching it. I even tried reading the graphic novel to see if it was any better, but it really wasn't (some of it was awesome, but just not that great). They lost me with some of the crap they were pulling. They secured a prison and then do nothing to better the security and walkers get in? WTF! Were they on vacation? Why would they not actively kill all the ones at the fences? I would kill every single one that came up to the fence, why let them wander? Things like that just started to bother me and I couldn't stick with it.
So what's even going on lately? Governor is still alive huh? Have the two groups fought each other yet? The one chick is a mega babe though, Maggie (Lauren Cohen), wow! Is she still alive?

IThe one chick is a mega babe though, Maggie (Lauren Cohen), wow! Is she still alive?
We ain't telling. You ain't interested.:whistling:
You just don't get it. You HAVE to let zombies in the prison. How you gonna practice if you don't have a good zombie or two to thwack once in a while? And letting them roam improves the chances that it will be a surprise and keeps your wits sharp. What's with shooting bottles off a shelf. That doesn't do any good. A man's gotta be ready.
As for Maggie, well there was this one scene where she...yeah, what Crash said.

Looks like there is going to be a spin off series in 2015. This one won't follow the comic and won't be in Georgia so the door is wide open on the format. It will be the same zombie environment but all new people.

I guess ,and this is just discussion I read,cause I'm not sure.
But,that was Carl's gun that was buried.
Carl seems to have put away his bad a** ways.for now anyways.
I was surprised how much that kid had grown over the winter. He must be in one of those growing spurts younin's have on occasion. I thought that kid was the biggest pain in the butt and when he got shot was hoping that was the end of the character. Now, they have a lot to work with so it will be interesting to see what they do with him this season.
Here's a question for you. If you were choosing council members would Glenn be a front running for that slot? His temper has been his biggest character role so far. Not sure I'd want him making life and death decisions. I'll bet they mellow him out this season just because.

Is it just me or does this year's episode seem like three lines of dialogue followed by five minutes of commercials? I don't think I've ever seen a program have so many commercials. It was like the scene in Idiocracy where the TV is nothing but commercials interrupted by a few seconds of programming. I turned it off during the third set of commercials and sent AMC a note.
kyratshooter
02-16-2015, 01:16 PM
Was a time when the commercial break was 3 minutes long and came every 15 minutes.
Now the industry standard is a 5 minute commercial break 5 times in the show, with a 7 minute break on the hour.
With extremely popular shows they probably fudge and stick an extra break in there. At a million dollars a minute I would!
And that's why I have Netflix.

Rick, that's why I no longer watch TV. The others in the House keep trying to get me stuck on series and I steadfastly resist. There may be an exception coming up. I hear that American Horror Story is going to have a story arc called "Innsmouth". That sounds interesting.
Otherwise, I stick to movies and lecture series. The Library, I was absolutely delighted to learn, have a lot of the Learning Company lectures that I haven't collected. And there are great lecture and how-to series all over the Internet (one thing that drew me to this site.)

Ok, when Carol and Carl investigated the other house, Carol grabbed a stack of paper and pens and walked out. I think they know they are being watched and are communicating via paper. All the "secret meetings" they are having in the woods and on the porch are for show.
Sasha wanted to man the tower but Deanna said not now. I think Deanna's group is watching everyone inside the fence, paying close attention to Rick's crew, and Rick's crew knows they are being watched.
The house they are living in has been bugged and the only way to retrieve the bugs was to invite everyone to a party and get them out of the house.
The little kid that Carol scared the bejebbers out of (she scared me too, LOL) said he tells his mom everything. I think he is being used as a spy because for the most part, kids go unnoticed.
With only certain people aloud to have guns inside the walls, the walls built to keep people in and everyone having a job that fits them and the community, it reminds me of the Berlin wall and the USSR
Deanna handed Sasha two boxes of ammo and shut the gate, did she get banished or patrolling outside the walls?? I also wonder how many people Rick's group have not spotted, how big is Deanna's real group??
Everything is going to hit the fan next week, should be another good episode.
