Excellent episode. Honestly the last couple of episodes have been really good. Add that to that first episode with Michonne's backstory and Rick and Carl and I'd say overall it's been a decent season. And they actually gave Rick IMO a real character arc this season that is more than poor broken Rick they've tended to be drawn to the last couple of seasons. I think the use of the flashbacks particularly with Hershel and his "idealism" in a sense were interwoven really well. And I feel Michonne is finally a fully realized character.

Carl while I think it's always interesting to read about how others see things, I don't pay much attention to the constant whining on other sites because I think the show in general has tried to satisfy all the viewers, those who like the zombies and gore and those who seem more in tune with some of the more emotional subtlety. AV Club is one place that IMO is too fanboy driven. When I read their review of the episode with Carol, Tyrese, and the girls, I had to shake my head. Part of it tells me some are in this show for things other than what I like.

I like the cliffhanger of sorts and there was all sorts of symbolism here. When I saw the railcars, it immediately made me think about the Nazi's sending Jews to concentration camps, and I am sure that was intentional.

Looking forward to next season, unfortunately it's too far away.

When that scene first aired, I was really pissed that people were just giving up and committing suicide. Now I think those people were the ones with the best foresight. I certainly think Andrea would have been better off, if she had died at the CDC like she wanted to.

I wonder if the bones we saw were Beth's? I also wonder what that room with the candles was about.

I wonder if the fact that Tyrese, Carol, Judith (and even Beth) were not a vital part of the season finale will play into the spin off.

Remember that show is supposed to premiere in 2015 and since The Walking Dead won't be back until mid-October, there may not be much time in between that and the premiere of the spin-off.

So some of the things that happened last night might give us more knowledge on the spin-off.

As for the lack of deaths. I'm good with that, too. Losing Hershel, Patrick, Karen, Lizzie, Mika (and every single Woodbury person that evacuated to the prison in 2012) is plenty.

Very interesting that each season finale continues to top the previous one yet there are episodes during the season which have higher numbers than the finale itself i.e. the February 9 midseason premiere.

I personally think they do a better job of making the midseason cliff-hanger more of an on-the-edge-of-your-seat type cliff-hanger than the actual season finale. To me, the season finales have been the end of dramatic arcs and the beginnings of new ones.

That's me after Rick escapes death YET AGAIN. Seriusly, the show is f--king with me having him survive yet again. The man is a MONSTER, yet is propped up and treated like a hero. I really cant stand his ass. By far the WORST character left on the show. He ruins it for me. I need someone to bite his neck off.

I don't see it. They're turning into a family but I don't see anything romantic brewing between them.

Now that we've seen Michonne describe what happened in the refugee camp, I'm going to go back and check out her flashback.

And once again, Maggie fails to ask about her sister. tongue.png

I don't think it will happen (and I'd rather it not happen than it be teased and me turn into one of those fans of another pair who was on tumblr last night raging about A SEASON OF LIES!!!!), but moments like Michonne telling Rick that she knows he's OK, because she's OK...that trips my OTP buttons.

Anyway, speaking of Rick and Michonne, apparently this was a deleted scene from the finale. Looks like it must have been another part of Terminus?

I definitely agree that the mid-season finales are ten times better than the actual season finales. I think I need to watch the finale again after reading your posts...

I'm still pissed at no Carol/Tyreese inclusion. I'm totally okay with no mention of Beth ever again honestly.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
