Walking Dead 2/21 - spoilers

Well, we know he had the opportunity to kill Daryl and, instead, saved his life. He had the opportunity to kill Rick and Michonne while they were sleeping, and he didn't. Sure, he's crafty, but the signs point to him being a good guy.
I will not spoil anything, just keep watching.
This EP had some serious fan service (Rick and Michonne are not a couple in the comics, but it is something that the TV fans wanted so bad), closure and introduction of a major comic book character.

Couldn't they at least use one of those breath mints before going at it?
Fun episode. I am avoiding the comics so I don't know what to expect but I don't fully trust the new guy. Yeah, he did save Daryl, but he tried to steal the truck a couple of times, too. Clean, so likely not just living without a camp. And did he use the name Michonne at the end, or am I not remembering that correctly? If he did, where did he learn the name?
Fun episode for sure.

It frustrated me to no end that Rick and Darryl did not make a bee-line back to camp after finding that unbelievable score. Now that Michonne and Rick hooked up, I wonder if her day's are numbered. His love interests have a habit of dying on the show.
Guesses at the next main person to die (no spoilers, please, if you know the comics and it's following a story line)? Guesses other than Glenn?
Don't try to poke holes, Batts, you'll enjoy it more if you don't. Seems like at this point they have to travel pretty far to find anything that they haven't already raided, so even though they found a stocked truck, there were other things they needed (medical supplies, farming supplies) / or it still made sense to make other stops while they were out that far. Or, the writers just took liberties to tell the story. Either way makes sense and is fine with me.
One thing that was REALLY stupid was when they found the truck. Rick says "Let's leave the car here and come back for it later." OR, OR, how about this genius, one of you drives the truck and the other drives the car. Mind blowing right? I know the writers want them stranded after Jesus takes the truck but logic can only be suspended so much as a viewer.
Someone big is going to bite it in 6 weeks. The how is already confirmed. The who is up in the air. I'd rank 'em this way:
1)Glenn
2)Darryl
3)Maggie
4)Morgan
1)Glenn
2)Darryl
3)Maggie
4)Morgan
While she's been around since season 2?, Maggie seems to have fallen into "minor character" status a bit lately.
I also have a feeling that people would hate the show if Darryl ever died (moreso than any other character), which is extra interesting since he's not a comic book character at all, I believe.
My guess is Morgan. He stinks at Zombie Apocalypse.
Also, in Zombie Apocalypse if you steal my food I shoot you. If I don't know you and attack me I shoot you. If I go out foraging I leave a guy looking at the truck and watching my back and HE HAS A RIFLE. Jesus should have been shot on three different occasions. (Forgive me Lord)
On Talking Dead, Michonne said that this episode was a couple of months down the line from the first episode, so they've been able to return to normalcy a bit.
Thought about that too, only thing I could think of is they wanted to conserve gas. But, like someone else said, you find that truck, you bring it back immediately, and start again tomorrow.
Yeah I see that but the kid is still changing his eye bandage so it was just a bit inconsistent. Otherwise the episode was screaming things were back to 'normal' after a while.
Or maybe it's not a good idea to travel 1x person per car, even if you're following someone. They'll bring back the truck, grab two more alexandrians and another car and go back out to get the chrysler.
I like defending shows against cynical viewers who question everything. Humans are coming back from the dead as people eating zombies and you're questioning why they didn't bring the truck right back?
I do not share your frustration. They wanted to continue scavenging and had a truck (1/2 to 3/4 full) to haul anything they found. Had they stumbled on another farm house or general store with a good amount of supplies then having the truck would have been a good thing. They hadn't seen a human or walker (aside from the one caught up outside the gate) since leaving the town, so there wasn't likely any urgency to get back to the camp.
I mentioned the same thing regarding Michonne. Also, she was on The Talking Dead, which is another potential sign the end for the character is near.
I agree with this. The ONLY reason to leave the car behind would be if it were low on fuel. Your other choices are to either return to camp with both vehicles or to tow the car with the truck to continue scavenging.
Actually, I thought people were having a friendly discussion about the show.
Guess I was wrong.
Actually if I was questioning the practicality of people turning into flesh eating zombies then I'd say I was being a "cynical viewer." To try and rationalize that is silly. One should just enjoy the absurdity of that, and I do. What I was questioning was just the everyday lack of sense in that one decision that can be applied to the real world. Zobies, etc really have nothing to do with it. It's basically the same thing as if someone asked me to drive them to the mechanic to pick up their car. Once we get there we wouldn't both get in their car and they would say "Hey, we'll come back for your car later." No they would get in their car and I'd stay in my car and we'd both drive off. Why create an unnecessary trip for later.
The show makes you feel like this is a real scenario of what can happen during a zombie apocalypse...but sometimes I have to remind myself that it is based on a comic book.
Huh ? You didn't find the whole thing about the dead WALKING stupid ?
If they're dead...how are they friggin walking ? And what do they need with a truck ?
Honestly, some of you are just too much.
Does anybody wonder why they are across the river from Washington DC and have never taken a short road trip to see if there is anything resembling a functioning government?
Having found a treasure trove of necessary supplies, the prudent thing to do was to immediately head back to camp. Those supplies could have been extremely useful and possibly used to save lives. They are in a dangerous and precarious world surrounded by zombies, gangs and clans. No one back at the camp would have second guessed their choice of bringing the supplies back to the camp. In fact, many would have applauded their decision. However, the writers have created a thought provoking issue for debate, which may have been their intended result. I found it interesting that after the sinking of the Truck, Darryl and Rick appeared not to care that much. Instead, they were involved with enjoying the candy and soda from the vending machine. I guess if you encountered the same level of trauma, death, and horror as they had, you don't grieve the mere loss of supplies.
But, how could they tell?! LMAO.
A functioning government would BE the apocalypse.
That whole scenario was so.. forced. NFW they both leave the truck to go look at some firecrackers. And before that.. NFW they both go in the truck and leave the car to "pick it up later". They would have had Rick in the car playing is god-awful music and Daryl in the truck playing something better... but if they did that then it would have been easy to follow Jesus when he stole the truck.
F O R C E D... the whole episode.. as was clearing the field for "Richonne".. by killing off the porch dick's wife.
My guess is that the govm'nt blew up dem dam bridges... the Pentagon is on "this" side of teh river.. no way they let those DC Zombies cross bridges.
