"Best Walking Dead episode in years" Topic

If you are dumb enough to click on this and then whine about spoilers, there is really no hope for you.

That was quite a blast radius from Darryl's rpg, but hey. It's Hollywood.
I almost felt sorry for the guy who escorted D behind the truck, but not by much.

And everybody stepped up, even Eugene and Father Gabriel!

Too bad about Jessie, but to kill off her idiot kids, I guess she would have to go too. Maybe Rick will have a pang later when he has to put an axe in her head.

Agree it was one of the best ever episodes. A big improvement over the season opener.

Yes, the thermo-nuclear RPG was a bit much. I think they confused blast damage radius with size of explosion. That and everything that explodes, blows up and burns like natural gas. But that's just llywood.

Eugene, Fr. Gabriel and the Alexandria townsfolk turned out in a big way. Nothing like a good ole' fashioned zombie lynching to bring everyone together.

Incidentally, one of your friends started a recent thread about the movie line "I should've killed you when I had the chance." Did you notice the use of said line in last night's episode? He can take full credit and a gratuitous bow.

Yes, it was pretty good. The RPG blast was kind of large, but really, if it had hit the leader it would have killed him and killed or wounded four or five of the others and stunned the rest long enough for Daryl to finish them all off with the assault rifle the other guy was carrying. So the end result is the same just not as cool :) OTOH the biker leader was seriously stupid to only send ONE guy with Daryl. We all knew how THAT would turn out!

And I must say that I had a really odd moment in this episode. For the last five seasons I (and pretty much everyone else) had been hoping and praying that Carl would be killed. The whiny little jerk was the most hated character in the whole show. And yet when I thought he had been killed I actually felt kind of bad about it. He'd matured a lot in the last couple of seasons.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next episode much more than I have in quite a while.

Secondary explosions of the gas tanks?

Loved the way that encounter turned out.

Glenn = Luckiest man on earth. How many times has he escaped being eaten by a hoard?

Scott: I agree with everything you said about Carl. Carol is the most trouble now she is almost the cause of everything bad that happens. The montage at the end was very emotional too everyone stepping up wow!

Bandit: I can't agree about Carol. I think she's the only one left who isn't trouble. She sees a problem and fixes it and when there is no immediate problem she just does her day-to-day tasks. That's not to say she isn't crazy, but she's what is needed in this situation.

And one thing that no one has mentioned so far is the fact that the current disaster in Alexandria was caused entirely by Rick. From him sniffing after that woman and causing internal chaos, to the really bad plan to lure the walkers away (leaving Alexandria defenseless) it's all been his doing. The guy has spirit, but no brains.
