^ I had the same thought about mercy killing. What the hell? Just end it people. I guess they just wanted to show us that the guy with the glasses finally got it and could walk away, but it was a little lame that Michonne was hanging back. She barely knew the guy and there was zero hope. 

 

Also, if Glen is dead it would have been way more dramatic if Nic had shot Glen and then himself, as any decent person would do in such circumstances.

Glen is definitely dead, we saw his insides being pulled...outside. And why would that many walkers ignore one body for another?

 

Glen was one of the few characters I actively liked so RIP Glen, you were awesome while it lasted I guess. How they'll explain Maggie not immediately committing suicide I don't know. Maybe she's pregnant. That would personally give me more incentive to meet my maker but everyone's different.

We didn't see his insides being pulled outside. We saw Nicholas' insides being pulled outside on top of Glen. I pretty much agree word for word with this article I'm about to post.  If Glen is alive, I don't think it's quite as much of a cheat as this person does though. There's a reason so many people are questioning what we saw and that's because the seeds were planted in the first place.

I watched The Talking Dead for the first time and Damon Lindelof (Lost) said something like "I hope they're not pulling shenanigans here. It would be like those old cliff hangers where you see the guy going off a cliff, but in the next episode they change it and he survives."  I can't disagree with that.

 If he's dead, I feel like they would just say it, instead of all this hedging. I totally believe they kept the actor who plays Glen off The Talking Dead so he didn't have to lie. Then this statement from the EP.

I think it's far-fetched if Glenn survives, but not too far-fetched. Crazy [!@#$%^&*] like that has happened in the comics.


Either way, it was easily one of the best episodes in a while, and made the implacable zombie horde scary again.

I'm very disappointed that Glen died, and the way he died.  Glen was an original and a hero who deserved a better death.  He should've died doing something heroic, something that helps/saves the group. His death should've been bigger. Instead he dies because of some idiot shoots himself?  Also, there's way too many weak characters who don't know how to do anything.  It's so frustrating to watch them.

People mentioned the call back to Glen calling Rick a dumbass, as proof that Glen really did die.  Maybe I just want to believe, but I have to wonder if it was meant to be a reminder of Rick's own unbelievable escape in the face of a huge herd.

 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to tonight. I'm figuring we won't see much of the main cast this episode, but I'm up for some back story.

The way they are pacing this season out is frustrating.   They have a cliffhanger with Rick, have to address Glenn, and we still haven't gotten back to Carol at town...and they want to spend a week on Morgan's backstory???  I really hope there is something more to than Morese and his pacifistic jedi serenity.   I used to like Morgsn, but ever since the announcer came on saying  "The role of Tyrese will now be played by...Morgan"  I have checked out.   He is total FF material for me now, sad to say.   His decisions have hurt the town and almost got Rick killed last week.  I have to hope he is a one season wonder and then is gone.

Well, the placement of this episode was obvious manipulation. They are making us wait to see Glen's fate and the potential fallout. Sure, that's a little annoying, I won't deny it.

 

 I'm also biased by my love of Lennie James. I'm not sure anything particularly interesting happened in this episode in terms of plot, but the acting by both men was wonderful. I've seen JCL play a very convincing bad man in Carnival, so it was interesting to see him play a convincing good man. Sure, he did something horrific, but I've always been a sucker for redemption stories.

This stand alone episode was very boring and such a momentum killer. I was looking forward to this episode but after the first minute I knew what I was in for - a backstory episode.  Ugh.  I feel like AMC wants 1-2 episodes like this a season to save money.

    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.
