They had long enough to scratch a whole sentence into the side of the church with a knife and take some half-hearted stabs at the window frame, though. They had some nice handwriting, too.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it was. I'm just curious why they didn't just kick in the door or something. I mean if I knew a pacifist priest was holed up in the only safe place for miles and he threw me out, I'd probably just go kick the door in and tell him to deal with it instead of carving passive-aggressive threats into the wood he would never see since he doesn't go outside. Just thought it was kind of odd that someone tried to pry open the windows and just gave up. Like it's a slatboard church, not Fort Knox.

Not a big deal or anything, just one of those funny things.

Isn't it far more likely that Gabriel has something to do with the people who took Beth? Crosses and whatnot? I bet he was going out to finally join them or something.

It was a hearse, I think. So maybe an undertaker? I dunno, the cross on the window looked like it was upside down, so maybe they are pissed off former parishioners or something.

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

My assumption was that the figure lurking out of view was Morgan, which could still be the case.

It was a stupid plan, but there's no way that any scene will be able to take that title away from lowering Glen into the well.

I'm guessing everybody introduced themselves off screen. Abraham said they were friendly at first but then turned the guns on them when he started insisting they leave and get back on the road to DC.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
So the last half of last season, there was the ongoing theme of "Food". I imagine it's not some big revelation, but if they keep to a theme again I guess this one would be basically just what kind of people they are. Right now every nice/not outright "bad" thing they have done has come back to haunt them.

Actually, I respectfully disagree with you there. For as obviously flawed as this game is, there ARE a lot of really good things about it. The presentation and atmosphere, for example, are the most immediate things. No other Yu-Gi-Oh game goes out of the way to really make

JossiRossi posted:

How do you figure that? I mean, just about every "bad person/survivalist nut job" in the show has met a grim and grisly end. I mean, the rapist gang got beat down, Shane got killed TWICE, the Governor lost everything including his life, and even the Termites got their base blown up because of Carol (who, btw, is a person that Rick was nice enough to simply banish rather than kill or something). And then there's the prison gang in Season 3 who got their butts kicked by Rick's group...

Honestly, if anything, it seems like the show is saying that there IS strength in kindness and compassion, and that evil people aren't necessarily the strongest. I mean ok, Rick's group has seen it's share of deaths as well, but on the whole, they seem to be doing pretty well.

Still some stupid decisions going on, like actually jumping down into zombie lake. Even before they did it I thought: "Can zombies just lie underwater and bite passer-bys"? Turns out they can.

Anyway, show is getting better. I actually liked this episode. I still don't trust the show enough to have faith that it won't go into some stupid plot where Rick's team teams up with Gareth's though. Once I see Gareth actually dead, I might start respecting this show again.

It does sort of make sense with his character. He has always been squeamish about killing and he is trying to keep some "humanity" in the new world. He is soon going to find out that he can't, or he will be killed due to this.

It is loving stupid. Being squeamish is one thing, but now the audience has no reason to sympathize with the character. He won't kill a baby killing cannibal in the defense of the group and he's actively a danger to the people around him. He NEEDS to be killed now.

I totally knew Tyrese didn't kill that guy but I was afraid to say anything since everyone who said it was getting bitched at.

Daryl being around when the cross-mobile passed by is some really high level bullshit coincidence, especially considering where they are, but whatever, Carol/Daryl revenge trip should be better than the awful Governor 2.0 that Gareth is apparently gonna be. poo poo he even looks like a younger version of the Governor. And the priest thing, just... I know I should know better from this show by now, but the way they milk so much cheap drama from "person A doesn't tell person B a thing" is getting old. Rick should have just pointed his gun at preacher's head and said "Tell us the bad poo poo you did right now, we don't have time for this".

The camera lingering on the tree marking when Bob got captured also seemed reasonably heavy foreshadowing that Preacher is involved with a larger group, whether it was Terminus or it ends up being the people who took Beth (who just conveniently use crosses as their symbol).

I guess the takeaway is: never underestimate how dumb this show is willing to get.
