Decent episode. Nicholas will likely come clean as it will be Alexandria vs the Wolves next season then again they took a season to get to Terminus and that resolved rather quickly this season.

To me it looks like that slide lock mechanism can be operated from both sides of the gate.


There are other things that tick me off about the show, but I tend to just let it slide since it's next to impossible to keep things consistent in a show like this, and the storyline makes up for it.

Unlimited ammo, perfect headshots while moving, Aiden not dying from a grenade blast, zero recoil from guns, Lori, apparently zombies having cognitive ability:

Spoiler!

Yup, I had zero nails left by the end of it. I was positive something big was going to happen/someone (bigger) was going to die.

Not a chance. Rick's been itching to kill that guy pretty much since the first second he laid his eyes on that "porch dick".

Now they have pictures of Alexandria they are going to want their supplies as well.

I wonder if the Wolves are actively killing the living as a means to increase the food supply. Less people eating means more food for them.

And also, how about that wicked chain whip multi-kill by Darryl?? Soooo much awesome right there!

[dubc80]

Totally forgot about that till now. Triple kill with the chain. That was sweet.

Did the Wolves take down Noah's community? Which episode did we learn this? I must have missed it.

Just a reasonable assumption from it being destroyed and having "WOLVES NOT FAR" painted on the walls.

It was the episode where they went to Noah's community.

"Wolves not far" was sprayed onto the walls right where someone repeatedly rammed a vehicle into the community walls and knocked a hole in them.
Also there was a truck filled with zombie torsos with the W carved in the foreheads that Rick rammed his car into while trying to get Tyrese out of there

Pretty logical to assume they attacked Noah's community.

It also looks like Morgan is going to be Rick's moral compass in season 6, something he hasn't had since Hershel died.

Ha, I did the same thing at the same point in the show. I remember looking hitting my play key to see the time so I could see how much time was left and thinking that seven minutes isn't long for a major character to die.

For those of you who PVR'd it- did you all see the epilogue scene that was after the credits?

Hmmm. Nope. Saw the credits come up and stopped the recording and hit delete. What was it? There was no mention on The Talking Dead.

[Nyah]

Wasn't it the Wolves looking at the photos of Alexandria? Or was that before the credits?

It showed Michonne putting her sword back above the fire place, then taking it down, sheathing it, and putting it on her back.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

And then there was another one that had red-poncho dude stumbling around as a walker past the SUV that Darryl and Aaron hid in with "WOLVES NOT FAR" spraypainted on the side.

Also another scene was poncho guy walker shuffling past the van Daryl and Aaron were in with Wolves not far painted on it.

Still trying to figure out that message, is it another survivor group that is warning others of the wolves for travelers or is it the wolves themselves leaving it?

this would be nice, now that Carol has completely turned into a pitchfork toting devil on his shoulder. I'm not sure if I buy her transformation into Alexandria's puppet master. she's taken the initiative with killing in the past (e.g. during the pig flu outbreak, crazy Lizzie) but now she's casually taunting/threatening children, doctors, and revving Rick up for a hostile takeover. what are we supposed to feel about this character?

if she goes too far next season I hope Morgan and Michonne team up to ninja turtle the crap out of her. I'm also half expecting a couple more black people to show up wielding nunchucks and sais.

I think the idea is that you really don't know who is evil at this point. Is it the person taking things into their own hands, or is the people living in a bubble letting others get their hands dirty.

Yep, that's a thing.

I really liked the episode but honestly felt it was one of the most inconsistent ones so far. First off, the toughness of the zombies varies widely: Darryl and Aaron manage to weave their way through at least 50 of them without too much trouble but one of walker is almost too much for ultimate badass Rick to handle? (And although the head explosion zombie kill was awesome, you have to ask how it's even possible to build up any pressure in a body without flowing blood)
Also the wolves: what benefit would it have for a group of bad guys that obviously preys on others to advertise their presence and potentially warn their victims away? Spray painting "wolves not far" across their own trap seems kind of stupid. And while we're on the subject of the trap, how did super tracker 2000 Darryl not notice the tin can noisemakers hung on string all around the semi trailers? Not to mention that the latches on the latches on the trailers looked like they had been worked over pretty good - should have been a strong indication that they weren't the first people to discover that place.

I did think the pacing of the episode was excellent, although I question if it really needed to be 90 minutes. I was stoked to see Morgan return, and I do question how he will react to Rick's brutality now that he seems to have adopted the "all life is precious" approach.

I do wonder what kind of angle they will take with the coming conflict between Alexandria and the Wolves. They'll have to come up with something new so it doesn't just come off as a re-hash of the war with the Governor, and given the darker & gorier direction the show seems to be taking lately, I'm pretty sure it will have some pretty horrific moments. It really does speak to the engaging quality of the show when I can pick out so many obvious flaws and yet still can't wait to watch the next episode. October can't come soon enough.

On the Talking Dead, Lennie James said that he learnt he staff fighting skills from one of the orignal TMNT from years ago.

He said he would go to buddy's garage and learn/practice for a month leading up to shooting...
