Lots of good info in the talking dead last night. I'm glad Hardwick asked his Mom's question.
That was crazy lol i loved it when Tyrese killed that one scumbag who threatened Judith
Them people in Terminus were psychos but does anyone know if the leader was killed or no?
Carol was awesome lol
I loved it
yeah, it was likeTyreese walked out the door as David Banner and walked back in as the Incredible Hulk
I don't know if Gareth was killed or not... I kinda think not. Alex was killed - he was accidently shot by a Termite who shot at Rick but hit Alex when Rick ducked.
I cheered when Carol killed Mary
This time, but probably not every time. They bleed their meat--hunters do the same with deer, etc., and traditional hog and chicken butchers do, too.
Look at the flowers, Mary...
Some thoughts:
I agree that we probably haven't seen the end of Gareth.He was hit, but we didn't see him dead. Plus Mary was his mom, so the likelihood of him letting her death go by without response is pretty slim. It will be a trick not to make that whole continuing storyline 'The Governor part II".
The bad guy in the train car: anyone else think he looks an awful lot like Negan in the comic books? I sure do. Were I the screen writers, I'd leave it up in the air, let people speculate, and probably not bring him back until the very end of this season or into next. Pretty sure it's him…but there's an uncertainty that needs to be there.
The number of primary cast is big--hard to handle and have anyone give a crap about any one of them. It also insulates the main cast; 'cannon fodder' is printed on the heads of Bob, Sasha, Tara and a couple of others. They need to up the danger & kill a main cast member (as much as I hate to see any of them go, and I do) or viewers will start to drop. They won't be satisfied with the manufactured drama/suspense of putting a whole bunch of 'don't know, don't care' people in danger then dangling a main cast member over the precipice repeatedly. That thing with Glenn was pretty hokey.
Morgan. Good Lord. I love me some Lennie James; hope they can keep him (though I suspect not). I'm wondering if he'll be a help or a danger, frankly.
I think now that they've revived an effective Rick, they need to give him something to humanize him. He hasn't had any decent expository dialogue since season 2. Sure, I love Rat Crap Crazy Rick (though they need to tell him to drop the head tic whenever he's going to go off the rails--that's hokey, too), but even when he's a killer he's not a machine.
I still loved this episode (watched it 3 times yesterday, and I'll likely watch it a couple more times before next Monday). Gimple told a strong story well.
P.S. One thing I noticed last week when I was getting ready for this season: throughout last season, Rick often wore the shirt that Lori wore over her ubiquitous tank top while she was preggers. Nice touch.

He burned his last "good shirt" when the pig farm ended.
