My thought exactly Mac. They blew their wad early with Termius and now we are just coasting to a christmas break...

Well damn, I was WAY off......how about that Ambulance scene tho eh? :-)

(spoiler)
I think this season is excellent.

I thought that It was going to be a setup and Carol was going to be a plant into the hospital to work it from the inside out.
Getting hit by the car is great and she has to go in there. Does she revert back to the weak Carol that her ex-husband used to smack around or does she come out even stronger. What was with the book I thought she was putting that behind her.
This will be a great battle in the mid-season finale.

Can't wait.:-)
[Reply]

I don't think she is going back to her old self, I believe she is just fatigued, this rest in the hosp may be what she needs.

About the book, according to Talking Dead Darryl was taking the book, because of his past with Merle & his father, so not sure where that's going to take us.
[Reply]

Yeah, that scene confused me at first as well. I thought the book fell out of carol's backpack, but i guess it was supposed to be darryl's pack and it just fell out when she was handing it to him or something. I hope it's just Darryl coping with his past. Hopefully it doesn't turn him into some sort of sensitive sally... can't lose the most efficient zombie-killing machine around.

I also had a secret hope Carol was just bluffing when she got wheeled in, and she was going to get up and start killing people right and left. But I guess I was wrong. We have to wait for Rick to show up for the real violence to begin.

I have not watched 5 & 6 yet, I am waiting until my computer stops being tied up with another project.
Then I'll burn em to a disc and watch em. But I had to comment on this nevertheless. You can
toss away all the thoughts you might have that Carol will EVER go back to being a wallflower. If she takes
a smack of ANY KIND, it will be during the day previous to the night where she cuts the person's throat.
She is never going back to that.

That was a.... juicy... episode.

A bit of a filler, setting everything up for next week's season break. But still had some fun action in it.

Definitely award winning "best use of a zombie in a fight" moves by Darryl.
[Reply]

I thought Darryl was a goner, and then bam Mcgyver style lol

Ok, so where is Gabriel going? Remember the group found him outside.......if he is as scared as he seems wouldn't he just stay in the church??? Idk about that dude.....mayeb he'll meet up with Morgan.
[Reply]

I think gabriel is more running away from the people he thinks are homicidal maniacs (rick's group... and in all fairness if you hadn't seen anyone for all that time and the first people you meet execute some other people right in front of you, you might be a little apprehensive too)..... I suspect he'll come around. Or they'll just kill him off. He was looking for food when they met him the first time.
[Reply]

Holy Crap!!!!! Poor Maggie.........What is up with Morgan? Is he sane yet?
[Reply]

I think he is. The whole time I thought he knew whom he was following, but until he saw the map I don't think he knew.

Can someone explain to my little mind what exactly did Beth mean when she said "I get it now" to the crazy officer lady.
[Reply]

I've been trying to figure that out as well.

My best guess is that it somehow ties into her talk with Dawn about how Dawn always gets someone else to do her dirty work or something....

Either beth "gets it" by realizing she can get someone else to do the work of killing Dawn for her... or Beth "gets it" by realizing that Dawn isn't changing at all, that she's still willing to do cruel things to maintain the appearance of power.
[Reply]

Didn't see the whole Beth thing coming...wasted all season working up to save and her and then this?? All in all, was a decent episode though.
[Reply]

The tension around Beth had been growing. Pretty episode. I had missed a week or two, but on Fox Asia, it's on regular Fox, not FX. The are played the episode last night. What night of the week is it in USA? Fox Asia says say day coverage, so that'd mean it airs in Asia first...
[Reply]

It shows on Sundays on AMC in the U.S.
[Reply]

Ok, so it was first in USA but within 24 hours in Asia.

I really wish this midseason had ended stronger. I kind of felt like they really didn't accomplish much after that butt-kicking start.

I mean.... the first 3 episodes were strong finishes to the terminus theme ... between carol's rambo moves in episode 1 to Rick's executioner style in episode 3 there was a lot of action and tension.

But then... we had to fiddle around with beth's situation in episode 4, Eugene's big lie in episode 5, Carol and Darryl's big adventure in episode 6 (ok, that one was really good anyway...) and then episode 7 to bring them to a common point so episode 8 could be executed.

With all the buildup to bring it together, I just was hoping for a bit more. Maybe the problem was they never really fleshed out the hospital group much. There weren't enough identifiable characters, no reason to hope for any particular outcome. I didn't wish dawn dead or alive...
[Reply]

I kinda liked Dawn and thought she could have been swayed to be a better person with Rick's group.

According to Kirkman, some big changes are coming this next season (not sure if he meant the rest of this season or next), but he kind of hinted about Maggie and how she will deal with this, and there is supposedly another foe coming that is supposed to be worse than the governor....he also hinted that they will be out of the Atlanta region soon.

I personally thought it was a good season & I enjoyed the mid-season finale.
[Reply]

It was good... I don't mean to be a negative nancy. It's still the best thing on tv. I just felt like it started the half-season way stronger than it ended.

If they're gonna follow the comic books then there is going to be a new baddie who is WAAAYYY worse than the gov. We'll see.
[Reply]

I need to re-read the comics, since they weren't following them as much I became uninterested
