… habits? SPOILER! "On a macro level, the show's stories are endlessly repetitive and predictable. They almost never vary from the same basic arc: The characters find a new safe haven. Gradually, they realize not all is as it seems. Conflict builds between human beings, before everything falls to ruin. Zombies rush in and eat at least a few characters. Rinse. Repeat. Thus, the frequent complaints that the show doesn't know how to tell stories are sort of accurate. It's not like the series has the kind of sparkling dialogue or deep character work that might make this bearable, and its themes, such as they are, tend to circle a few of the same general tropes and ideas. And yet The Walking Dead is also one of TV's most adventurous shows when it comes to storytelling, especially since current showrunner Scott Gimple took over in season four. Now episodes could be about any combination of characters. Their structures could leap between past and present, as the season premiere did. Or they could simply refuse to resolve a cliffhanger for as long as possible, spending time on other matters, as tonight's did. In short, The Walking Dead is at once endlessly inventive and incredibly exasperating. But this latest episode, "JSS," offered some hope that the series may have broken out of its patterns…" Full review here. link Good episode!. I count 15 dead from Alexandria and 16 from the Wolves… a match?. Carol count six of them … she shows as the trully nb 2 to Rick!. Question: JSS is a wolf? Do you enjoyed it? Amicalement Armand |

I sat there thinking "Carol took out Terminus, they're messing with the wrong woman!". |

Carol is bad-ass, and has been for a couple of seasons. That's all there is to it. |

She did in her abusive husband you would expect anything else. |

You remember here at the beginning of the show? Nobody answer my question about the girl… (smile) Amicalement Armand |

'Cause that might be considered a spoiler, Armand. I think "JSS" says it all: She'll do what it takes to survive. |
Norrins | 22 Oct 2015 9:00 a.m. PST |
I didn't think JSS was a wolf. On the Talking Dead they seemed to infer it was Aaron's (???) pack that led the Wolves to them. |

Carol is tops. Definitely want her on the team when stuff goes down, and it's always going down. Glad to Moms finally switched on and got all stabby in the kitchen. There's hope for her after all. Way too many "Oh dear, can I hide out?" folks on the inside. Well, I guess fewer of them now after the last episode… |

Agree! (smile) At least … 15 less… Amicalement Armand |

A lot of people are confusing bad-ass with crazy |
Balthazar Marduk | 25 Oct 2015 7:46 p.m. PST |
Carol is not crazy. Carol understands that the actions that she must take are terrible but entirely necessary. If a bunch of raiders attacked my village after all of that, I wouldn't just be shooting them in the head… You can get a lot of information out of the barbarians before you saw their head off. The woman is doing what is necessary to protect herself and her friends… It's survival. If you don't have the guts to act, you won't survive. |
