I'm still confused as to who's actually the good trucker or if it's some state of mind in morgantown

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

So I guess there used to be/are good truckers. Who leave supplies along the highways. The two people found one of these trucks, and stole it from the driver, leaving them behind. So, now they have a truck of supplies and are just driving around I guess, reading the notes the original trucker had kept. They have no plan but to wander from Texas to Mississippi in a night I guess. I mean when presented with a hypothetical settlement thousands of miles away they just jump at the chance to make an insane arduous journey to a place they know nothing about. So, whatever they had going on locally was pretty unimportant.

When Morgan spoke on the radio the first time, the woman there seemed pretty normal. And then they showed the crazy lady at the end, who might have been the same person? Maybe crazy lady was one of the Supply Truckers? Maybe she took over a Supply Trucker station? Maybe she's actually unrelated to any of what had been going on?

Yeah the only thing that threw me off was that she wrote the "take what you need" stuff on the zombie's face

And I know I'm totally a Dorie but if I was Morgan I would just become king of the truck stop with running water and electricity

Also, the truckers wanted to make beer and didn't know how to, but knew all the supplies to take to make beer? But didn't have the recipes?

How the hell are they keeping the truck stops safe?

The two "truckers" we meet, aren't the ones establishing the supply drops. This episode was so pointless convoluted.

Beer brewer guy seemed okay. But Jesus, nobody has a semblance of a coherent plan/characterization this ep.

The first two or three eps of this season were cool, but god drat this show’s poo poo the bed.

They time jumped, it's up to TWD, which is at least like 3 years now right?

That was another boring as gently caress generic southern forest monologue show.

I really miss season 3. This has just turned into The Walking Dead: Morgan Goes From Good To Bad To Clear x200

For a minute I thought this was going to be Morgan walks the apocalypse, which sounds pretty good. Then James Cole shows up as a beer nerd and I don't know what to think. Everyone but the beer nerd has too complicated motives.

I think it’s been like 2 and change, but who knows by this point.

I missed part of the episode, did Mr. Beer say he was hiding in the brewery the entire apocalypse?

I guess if it was a big enough brewery and he was all alone, he could survive off water, hops and barley and other beer ingredients for a good while.

why wouldnt morgan tell them where the settlement is? Does he really think these two could take out Murder Rick and Gang?

He was more than happy to take proper psychos like Alicia and Nick back there, these honest grifters who are trying to survive in a non murderous way just wouldn't fit in.

this plays a lot differently when you know they're grifters and the wheelchair dude doesnt know anything about trucking

I still don't understand why they gave Morgan supplies to go to texas. Were they just a couple miles away following Morgan about to jack him?

My question was how/why he kept getting in and out of the truck.

Not once did they show it (unless it was during the part that I missed)

Skipping all the posts to say that I really liked the John Dorie episode I just finished. The part where she says she lost her child was really well done and conveyed so much without actually saying anything. No long explanation or story was needed during the scene and I especially liked how they never talked about it again. The only thing that wasn't clear to me was how long did she stay with him and how far in the past did that whole thing take place?

Seriously I don't understand why they're doing Walking Dead 2.0 when they had arguably one of the best seasons of the Walking Dead franchise with FTWDs3, and they now have Garrett Dillahunt and an interesting back story annnnnnnnnd lets watch Morgan monologue for another 3 hours.
