Jim in Anchorage Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Not a bad episode. Maybe I am just stupid (won't deny the possibility), but as spectacular as the zombie battle was last night, I found the choreography of all the action, kind of confusing. I didn't have a clue what was happening. Have to watch it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Finding the group in a dark alley was ....... odd. or did they discuss a contingency plan? How did the mobile home find the other guy? The flare came from near the water tower. So the RV headed that way thinking it was Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) The flare came from near the water tower. So the RV headed that way thinking it was Rick. That would have been a cool scene...Aaron and Eric meet up and Aaron say "I saw your flare and thought you were in trouble" and Eric say, "I thought that was you". Fade to black. I am definitely not dismissing that Eric didn't shoot the flare, although to me, it seems logical. It may have been the wolves, who don't know where the "community" is located and want to follow them. Maybe they didn't follow them originally because of the route they chose? I don't know, but that would be interesting. It would also give Rick and crew a purpose to be there, to help destroy the wolves...

So the RV headed that way thinking it was Rick. or vice versa They (Rick) had no clue what happened to the RV at that time. ... So who shot the flare? (I had no clue who it was) Aaron thought Eric was in trouble and that's why he wigged out and ran off and didn't explain himself. to Ricks thinking It could have come from anyone, friend or enemy Edited February 23, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 OK I have to ask this question. Why is the children playing sound.....whether it is real or not......not attracting walkers to the gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) OK I have to ask this question. Why is the children playing sound.....whether it is real or not......not attracting walkers to the gate? The sound of children harkens back to Woodburry and Terminus. when they approached they heard no children playing was it real or taped? Could have been either. I don't recall seeing any when the gates were opened. the other odd item there was no one atop the wall looking out to identify and or challenge then from driving into the community. the walls were thick, not necessarily the "double" gate.

Good point, i remember thinking it was odd that they pull up and there were no lookouts. if there were indeed children playing, i would think there would be several lookouts, like Woodburry...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) whenever the gate opens the community is vulnerable. oh and the other elephant in the room. Aaron and Eric couldn't get by the downed trees, yet Ricks crew had no problem getting the 2 vehicles to the barn. Wouldn't chopping trees or running a saw draw walkers? or not to mention the highways were totally incorrect as far as I can tell.

Pretty sure they had unseen guards, maybe the camera shot from the house was one of the guards? Maybe with radios to clear the kids from the area near the gate because strangers are coming? whenever the gate opens the community is vulnerable. oh and the other elephant in the room.

That's not a kniofe this is a kniofe -------------- No spoilers please just speculations as to what you expect from the storyline? OK, so now they are in the community in a "Safe Zone" what next?

Daily searches into the countryside looking for fellow survivors like Aaron and Eric were doing? A bit of recon? A push to DC to see who might be there? Run into and "solve" any problem with the Wolf group? I know no spoilers, only watch and speculate. I think what's next is some down time without any pressing problems. I could see them skipping ahead months or a year even. That way it gives them needed rest and gets us back to the action and intrigue. I could see them splitting into groups that best fit them again. Daryl being a scout, Rick looking after Judith and just being a father, etc... There has to be a giant threat on the horizon. Each one has normally outdone the previous threats so I expect nothing less. I know (not really, just get the feeling) that at least one loved character is going to die. Not sure who yet though. That's my guess as well. probably just habit when opening a door in their world. Thats precisely what I thought.

ricojes Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) So I re-watched the ending last night and it was very strange. First of all, it does look like the compound is very well protected, the gates in front were the same height down the street as they go in, so i would imagine this same style all around. Second, when they pull up, there is no noise initially and you can't see anything moving behind the gate. Granted it was closed, but there were some cracks and an opening at the bottom, maybe there would be shadows. Then they focus on Rick's eye's and we hear the children playing. I am just wondering if Rick isn't just imagining the noise in hopes that they finally found a safe haven, somewhere where Judith will be safe. In the previews, they enter the compound with their weapons, another reason I can't believe there are many, if any, children in there.

USMCBillsFan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 My question was with the gun he put in the blender. I can't remember the initial but there was something etched into the pistol grip. I thought it was a J but could be mistaken. And why put it in the blender?

Wonder what significance this will have down the road. in case they did just what they did. Ask them to surrender their guns. I don't know the significance of the J. did a quick search of gossip boards - some joker said J was for Judith, it will be a mystery like the W for Wolves to be explained later. Did some spoiler reading - this may be obvious to many, but if you don't want any hints don't read the following there are surrounding communities around Alexandria with which they may have to fight for resources or just outright power Edited February 25, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was impossible to tell if she was hearing the sounds. I may be over analyzing, but it was just weird how the sound started after they pan in on Rick's eye's. I still think they recruited Rick and crew to fend off the Wolves... Edited February 25, 2015 by ricojes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
