Does it have something to do with me having to go back and add "chest" before the "hair"?My first thought was absolutely unprintable (lol) so I'll just leave it there

It might!Does it have something to do with me having to go back and add "chest" before the "hair"?
I was only playing, I would have to really like you (well.. not you literally of course
) to go there. 
Moving on...

I've just dyed my hair and I think maybe I left it in for too long... probably poisoned my brain.
I've only watched this week's episode once, but holy crap. I'm pretty sure
Carol is unredeemable--she's Lizzy all over again. Not safe in society. I was suspicious that they might kill her off, and now I'm pretty sure they will (or exile her). Daryl will leave over it, but come back just in time to save the group when Alexandria goes bad (and you know it will--this is the WALKING dead--lol), then he'll die a hero. SO much foreshadowing this week, with the horse. A wild thing that's 'more itself' the further it gets from people, and trying to help in and bring it inside gets it killed. And it was just so STUPID. She's obviously NOT a mother (or not thinking like one anymore)--kids are easy to divert onto something else, and they're conditioned to believe adults who speak confidently. That threat was over the top and he WILL tell--she guaranteed that by being crazypants.
The bit with the scarlet 'A' on Rick & whatserface's hands was dumb--sorry, it just was. Clumsy. The stylized wooden 'A' being Rick on the wall, though... clever. They're back in that train car. And what the HELL was it with that kiss on the cheek? Seriously? Didn't seem like Rick at all, even a tipsy Rick. DH commented that he deserved to be slugged for that, and I agree--it made him unsympathetic.
Sasha is freaking out--suicide by walker looks likely (and good riddance--she's boring in an already top-heavy main cast). I'm wondering when they'll thin the herd. For sure a few by the end of this season, and more next. They have to do something with Eugene, Rosita, Abraham (I think he's probably a goner, too--too happy), Tara, and Noah soon, or kill them off.
And Judith. She's a real problem for the story and the writers. Sorry Lepp.

I was sooo waiting for your response on this episode. Thank you!
Loved/hated your comments! Very interesting, but not how I want it to go down.
(Psst. if you have the time and patience to read the last two of my posts, would you please give your thoughts?)

Ha! I've used that excuse (Dying my hair an outrageous RED) when I mess up.

lol, no.. I really think I left it in too long--I got caught up with a phone call and started to get a very bitter taste in my mouth--which I think was from the dye being on my skin for too long, probably some of the chemicals got into my blood stream through the layers. I've been drinking lots of water to flush it from my system.
And... I didn't mess up--I was just being (verrrrry) cheeky.

I really hate how they have commercials that spoil the next episode...
Then when I watch WD, they spoil Better Call Saul!

I know, right?!
Oh! Not cool to show Better Call Saul spoilers!

Have you watched American Crime? I watched the pilot episode. I liked it but...it's kinda/sorta controversial. Punch to the throat. If you do watch it, I would really like your thoughts.
Thank you!

I thought about watching it, but I passed. From the reviews I saw, I didn't think I could get into it. My TV schedule is kind of packed.
BTW, they uncovered some interesting new info in that Robert Durst documentary series. I was really surprised.
Even more Walking Dead! Now the prequel, and it's signed up for two seasons.

Folks.
I had two TWD eps to catch up on, since last week I was out of it with a "48-hour" bug that hung around for 4 days and had an ear infection on top. Never have I thrown up so much, and I hope I never do again.
All caught up now, though, and after not particularly caring for the first couple of eps after the break, the last few really have kicked it up a notch. Maybe even two, by now.
I also now hate Andrew Lincoln. I just do. No man around my age should look that good/young/handsome after just having a shave. He is a git. End of.
Negative(s):
The future:
And thus the novel ends.

I liked how a lot of the female cast members, having never (or having rarely) seen him without the fungus, went a bit googly-eyed. "Wow" seemed to be the general reaction, and to be fair it was a bit 'How to look 30 years younger in one easy lesson'.
Negative(s):
Why do that to the bloody horse? Why? FFS, people, yes, kill them and gut them by the thousand if you like. But leave the animals alone! (Yes, I have way more empathy for animals than humans. Dunno why. Just do. Maybe it's because humans can generally understand motivations, potential dangers, etc, while animals generally can't. Maybe I'm just a sociopath. Carol and I would get along fine. ).
Either way, couldn't Aaron have just shot the poor damn thing before it got gnawed on? Given a choice between warm food and going 'Who did that?', zed is going to be far more interested in the horse - and won't have the intellectual capability to respond to a suppressed shot. Even if it did, it won't have time to react before it gets an arrow or bullet in the bonce.

The future:
Quite a few people seem to be getting nudged towards the exit. After last week's ep, I particularly feared for Daryl and Glenn (who really needs to slot Mr ROTC on principle now, because that kid won't forget being humiliated and, despite appearances, Deanna won't have liked seeing her boy getting dropped on his arse; as for Daryl, it just seemed like there was no place for him anymore). This week, Daryl seems to have found a bit of a home and purpose, while Abraham and Carol have been moved over to the trapdoor. Great performance from that kid, btw. His eyes just kept getting bigger and bigger, as if he truly believed every word she said. Though I have to say, if it were me, I'd have taken him for a stroll on the wrong side of the fence anyway. A case of "Sorry kid, but I can't take the chance". Because either way, he's bound to blab - and he definitely will now, because the nightmares will break him down. Exit Carol, presumably in a dead/executed way.
Abraham will probably go, too, because he thinks it's job done now. He's already stopped fighting.
Eugene and, perhaps to a lesser extent, Gabriel have been absent. By and large, they've not been missed. Chop.
Carl surely has to die this season. He's supposed to be about 12 or 13, something like that, in terms of time elapsed, but IRL Chandler Riggs is about 12 months away from going to college, right? He's even looking more and more like a man grown (and a fine looking chap, at that). It all makes the early-adolescent stupidity antics look way out of place. I'd say to write him out, but have him go out for a reason, i.e. he dies defending Judith.
Judith...she also needs to go, but I'd be as unhappy about her being nibbled on as I am the horse(s). Maybe have the Alexandrians spirit her away in the end, so as a character she is still alive, but the survivors - and the story - don't have the baby baggage to lug around. Want to make Rick darker/evil and utterly relentless? There you go, job done.
The writers have done a very good job in crafting the little wedges that are about to be driven between the group members. I'm not sure that Carol's fake-out thing has worked as well as she thinks, if at all, though it was a good attempt and the right thing to do. Aaron only seems to get discovered when it suits him, and there is more to him than meets the eye in terms of the power he wields. He told Deanna not to give Daryl a job? Strikes me that few people tell Deanna anything. Although, it also seems to me that she's the store front; the real goods are out the back. Possibly that's her outwardly-retiring hubby. Maybe it's a group of people, both inside the community and elsewhere, in other 'friendly, welcoming' communities (though for that to be true, there'd need to be an obvious shot of comms gear soon - no doubt 'broken' or 'full of static' (less likely on digital comms, but...). All in all, though, I'd trust Deanna and her guy about as far as I could pee into a hurricane.
Probably unintentional 'lol' moment: Andrew and Alexandra showing their As to each other.
Oh, and her character is Jessie, apparently. I only know 'cos I checked on IMDB. For research, you understand. *ahem*
There's an interesting dynamic in her household, too. She clearly does fancy Rick a bit - that wasn't an outright rejection when he kissed her cheek. At least, I didn't think so. More a sort of 'WTF...but interesting...lemme think' reaction. Her hubby is too outwardly surly for him to be an abuser, though. Abused now, maybe. Or trapped, somehow. (And it's a stretch, but would a 'controlled' woman feel confident enough to get all those tats, at least without her hubby's explicit instruction? Also, her body language doesn't say 'abused'. 'Fed up' or 'sick of the guy', possibly.)
There's more there than meets the eye, and maybe the whole thing of 'meek little wifey/MILF next door' is a front, a case of hiding in plain sight. She was one of the first to make contact with Rick, after all, and would you really reach out to a newly-arrived group's leader because you really wondered if s/he fancied a haircut? As the horse might have said, Nay (neigh).

Someone needs to show mr. Dixon on how to eat spaghetti. However. I nevet eat out in public myself. The whole fear of spaghetti on face.
Or shirt. I can never eat spaghetti or anything noodlish without getting sauce/juice on my shirt. I'm basically a 12 year old.
It kind of freaks me out that people get so much more defrosted over the death of an animal than the death of a human being. I love animals and would never deliberately hurt one (that wasn't supposed to be food, and even then quick death, not pain, would be the goal) or enjoy watching them be hurt, but c'mon. Given the choice between saving a person and an animal, I'd save the person. I'm surprised the horse wasn't eaten already by the townspeople.
That whole scene was supposed to be symbolic (the set up was clumsy, but effective): wild horse-try to save him/bring him in & it kills him=wild Daryl-same result.
