This.
It is these morons who think this show is actually about zombies. [Reply]
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I thought last night's episode was one of the top episodes in the entire series.
The direction was fantastic - very artistic. I thought the slo-mo shots where Rick takes out the walker was amazing.
I thought it was an appropriate send-off for Tyrese.
The only question I was left after the episode (and after watching 3/4 of talking dead).....was the radio/news broadcasts. Wasnt sure how that came into play all of a sudden, when I dont recall it ever being addressed before.
I'm assuming this was all in his mind, the entire time during the zombie apocalypse?
In the talking dead, Tyrese (the actor) made it clear that he felt his character had done all he could....and there wasnt much left for him to do in the way the world existed.
He was a man acting as morally straight as he could, with the thinking that you dont get free reign to do bad things, just because of what's going on in the world that moment.
I think the point is that his line of thinking doesnt really have a place in the zombie apocalypse......the recurring theme of "no hope, things arent going to change" conflicted with his "this is only temporary" mentality.
Thought the whole sequence at Noah's house and the ride back was beautifully shot. [Reply]
I liked the episode, though I wish I wouldn't have gotten on here and had Tyrese's death spoiled.
I'm actually finishing up The Wire right now as well. I really like the Cutty character on there, but was cool with the Wire finishing because I get reminded of Cutty by Tyrese on the Walking Dead.

All in his mind, referring back to the story he told Noah about his father telling him and Sasha that they had to listen as "Citizens of the World".
But if you listen to the broadcast it parallels with the zombie apocalypse; people getting hacked up, cannibalism, etc.
I thought the episode from a production stand point was great. Playing with the time line, flashbacks, etc. was awesome. The script was clunky and underwhelming. Just sort of seemed like Rick, Michonne, and Glenn were just spouting out lines and brooding. [Reply]
OK...so we got what....roughly three black dudes?
one hasn't been on the show more than a couple seconds at a time in FOREVER.
two is a dip shit who is pretty much directly responsible for the death of three.
RACISTS!
I'm wondering if we're gonna see those armless torsos buried...heads sticking out as some kind of lame defense? [Reply]

A very minor point - but one that bugs me - or i missed something simple? what was the significance of Noah (is that the kids name?) scraping his head while going through the fence on the way in? I thought it must have some significance since it was done - but cannot think of any???? [Reply]

Spoiler!
Noah scraping his head + Glen finding the bat = foreshadowing Negan, at least that's what I took from it.
