True enough. I’m not sure the DC Diva would really appreciate his kind of rugged individualism given her nod to the commies(probably a kindred soul)He’ll go along with his own group but he won’t fall in line with the Alexandrites who are representing the corrupt pre-apocalypse society that he wasn’t a part of.

Distraction? Maybe. I thought it was just Daryl being Daryl. :-)

Am I the only one who noticed they can stab through skull plates way too easily?

Back in season one, remember when the guy got bit and he asked to be dropped off somewhere because his body couldn't take driving in Dale's RV? He said his bones felt like glass.

Zombie bones must be real brittle.

How about the “Junior League” question.

Who said what? I think I missed it.....

Carl has no idea how to be a “normal” teenager anymore.

Yea, that was sad to watch. As for the girl, I think she was the only kid there that he could sympathize with and then his statement "you don't like me do you?" that was kind of strange.

Didn't Carl find a comic upstairs in that house where picture frames had been emptied of their photos? And then Carl gave it to the girl and asked her if it was hers? I have a feeling the girl may have lived in that house and the pictures removed from the frames may have been of her friends and family who are now all dead. She probably has them in her backpack.......

Another question I have is why did she jump the fence and take off into the woods with Carl trailing her? I don't think she's a spy but maybe she went out there to visit the grave sites of her family or there is someone out there she might be bringing food to.....Maybe one of the people who were banished from the colony?

Yeah, something in that girl’s past was traumatic.

Carl will find out.

Yes, maybe she’s feeding people on the outside. There are a lot of secrets to come out.

I know one thing: Diana is not to be trusted. As somebody said, she is like Hitlery—a total control freak/tyrant.

This is the ‘Steppford Wives’ movie from the ‘70s all over again......deanna runs a undergound organization with rouge ex-military.

Our group has been set up.

I mean, think about it, “A lib political figure lives for years in a fenced off area without help?”

Daryl, Glen, Carl and Beth are the ones that see beyond the veil of liberalism......

They will save the group.

I don't think so, their survival instincts are still on high alert and they're using the compound to regroup, refresh, re-energize and get the needed showers and clothing changes they desperately need.........

That’s right. They’re taking advantage of the situation and will remain alert. They don’t trust Deanna one bit.

Just watched. Great episode! Ricks group showed just how badass they really are and Alexandria people showed just what dumbasses they really are. They really do need Ricks help. I like the Congress wench. She so far seems to be reading people accurately. I wonder who took Ricks gun from the blender? I wonder if someone is living in that shack and saw him put it there and if perhaps that teenager girl is feeding them???

Had to laugh at Daryl walking around the Congress Ladies office with a dead possum.

Also I like how Rick never even questioned why Carl just showed up outside by that shack and then they just took care of business when the situation called for it like it was nothing. Carl and Carol totally called it on how weak those people are. I predict they will learn a great deal from the group.

Beth got iced a while back.

"Remember when Daryl went off by himself in the last episode and broke down? I think he’s playing along but something just isn’t right with him right now."

I think he's sick of losing people (carryback to "30 Days Without An Accident") and eaten up with guilt over losing track of yet another girl (the first being Sophia). That said, I love him, but it's time to get it together.

"I think they are letting Michonne enjoy the place but know that she will come around and be able to rely on her when the time comes. Michonne is very perceptive and will see the place and people for what they are."

Yes, she's just about reached her limit, and she's enjoying having a place to rest. I don't blame her for it one bit. But, like you say, she isn't dumb, and a part of her is still cautious about letting down her guard.

"Michonne was right there and ready when Glenn decked that punk."

Did you notice how they all converged on the scene? I loved it.

"I wouldn’t trust Diana as far as I could throw Abraham."

LOL!

"I think Rick and others are taking advantage of the place and playing along to a certain extent to allow themselves to rest up and replenish their energy

They are not going to let these people get them. But who is lurking in the background that they don’t know about?"

Good question. You mean the face at the window? I thought that was either the girl or Deanna.

Do you think Deanna bought Carol's act?

I think so. Carol played that very well. Do you think she bought it?

I thought it was a woman in the window.

I also think Deanna has the potential to be a female Governor. She’s a nasty one. IMO

"When I saw Carol’s interview my first thought was. “wise as a serpent-gentle as a dove”. Carol has years of experience in this behaviour to survive being married to Ed."

Since the Governer was killed I think Carol has become the most interesting character on the show. Her transformation has been so complete - from clingy, battered wife to total ruthless survivor. And I mean that in a good way. Carol was the first to figure out that you get rid of all the old rules in this new world and do whatever you have to do to survive. Her survival instinct is well honed and intantaneous. She went into her role immediately upon entering Alexandria and pretended to be frail and weak when trying to get her rifle off and "struggling" with the sling as if she just didn't know how to handle the big ole gun. Her ruse during the interview was brilliant.

I know lots of people complain but I think this show just gets better and better and I can wait for each new episode. I also think the tone for the forseeable future was set with Rick's two speeches - the "we are the walking dead - we survive" speech in the barn during the storm and his interview with the congressperson when he very subtlely hinted that she was crazy for letting them in and basically describing what his group had faced and what they had become "They size you up only to determine what they can take from you".

That's the most important question.

Rick knows either someone "found" it (highly unlikely), or he was being watched and *didn't know it*!

Carol is my favorite character too. I also love how she rose above her old life and became a true survivor. I really like Michonne too. I don’t believe this show has any sexist elements like some people do. All the women in Rick’s group are incredibly strong and beautiful.

Sorry, I was thinking Carol and typed Beth.

OTOH: The talking TV show hinted that perhaps Beth was not dead.....Ha, hahaha, I was surprised when they said that...

Of course we all know that Beth is gone.

Thanks for catching my post.
Seeya next week.
