I was just on my way to post something very similar. The way the entire tribe have to play everything to her ego is exactly the same way that Kermit has to handle Miss Piggy.

I don't care how the balloons float, as long as the season ends with Eugene building an airship. And Carol stealing it in order to machine-gun down all the Wolves. While wearing goggles.

Rick hasn't even said "Yoralgene."

I agree. It's sad that they've given us so much YSB but do little Rosita, but since they obviously don't want to do much with Rosita, Tara is a more valuable character. She had one short scene this week, and it was probably my favorite one in the episode. Maybe they'll just disguise her a lot. She can spend one episode guarding the perimeter disguised as a bush. Then they can do a Halloween episode where she dresses up as a pumpkin or something. Abe could be The Kool Aid Man, Eugene could be the Beastmaster, and zany hijinks could ensue when the Unfair Wolves eat some funny mushrooms before coming into town. Then they can try another Pied Piper schtick, this time with her leading the zombie parade dressed as a giant ham. Oh. Wait. Never mind. They already tried that one by putting a giant ham in the car with Sasha, and it failed anyway.

He's also probably never spoken to Rosita. Hell, if he blinked a few times,he might never have even seen her.

Thinkyness is good, but there is such thing as overthinkiness.

If we're going to anticipate boatloads of characters from other shows, I'm hoping for Abraham Setrakian to kick some ass, The Professor from Gilligan's Island to fix everything, and Mace Tyrell, to annoy the crap out of everybody by singing to them. Oh, and Seamus, from "Family Guy."

I think they're going to hide it by killing her. And that sucks, because the presence of her character has a very humanizing effect on many of the others. But, they're due to kill off a bunch of main characters soon. So after they finish killing Heath, Morgan, and probably Sasha (FPP will live forever, because he has some kind of a pact with Satan,) I think Tara's history. She's already taught Glenn to forgive his enemies and Eugene to sack the hell up occasionally. I feat that the writers are starting to think of her as a disposible morality pet. I suppose they could just barely show her for the rest of the season. I mean, Rosita could be having triplets for all we know. But they'll probably think it's more fun to just kill her. The only other options are the old "Actually, I'm bisexual now. Tee hee!" copout, or a very uncomfortable story arc in which we find out that, while lying comatose, she was impregnated by Eugene.

I think Glenn as sheriff and Rick as Run Guy would be a better fit.

Falling Truck is confused. Everybody thought that schtick was great when Ambulance did it! What is Truck? Chopped liver?

If it was Tuesday, perhaps Mrs. Niedermeyer was using the horn to announce that her new pasta maker works.

So, after all that buildup, the Wolves are just two losers that like to horde zombies, strobe lights, and electrical generators? And Beanieboy is going to be the main villain of the season? If I hadn't seen how fast he could move, I would be very disappointed.

About the question of incendiary options for the zombie pit, how much condensed alcohol is in Pete's body? I say shove a fuse up his ass, drop him in there, and see what happens. Bonus points if Beanie Baby goes in after him.

Speaking of Carol, I did not think she was flattered by Morgan's observation. I think she was annoyed that someone could see through her cover. And her response to him was exactly the same as Stahma Tarr's on "Defiance" when she found out that Nolan could see through her facade. Now, I'm not convinced that Carol is as dark as Stahma, but you know what's a little bit scary? I'm not entirely certain she isn't, either.

Tobin was also the one who put the moves on Carol.

So, basically, just like a young Carl?

Yeah, Heath is Hair Game Guy. Basically the only one introduced this week who I give a damn about.

I'd kind of like to see them experiment with some kind of home-made catapult. Quieter than a cannon, but still good for heavy smashing. I mean, I know it's a lot of zombies, but last I heard you could kill three at once by swinging a chain at them, so I think a few bigass rocks or clods of dirt could squash that herd down to manageability pretty quickly. You'd still need people guarding the perimeter, but it would be a lot safer than trying to do it on the march. They're more dangerous when temporarily confined than they are all walking right next to you? That is not how intelligent defense works. Overeacting to a not-immediate threat is way more dangerous than just doing something else. For a nice little real life comparison: 85 per cent of venomous snake bites in the U.S. are to the hand or arm.

Actually, not that Morgan single-handedly fortifying an entire town wasn't completely awesome, but you know who else might have some useful input? Tara. "Hey, remember back when you were running with Brillip? No hard feelings. We're cool. But, um... how did your group silently convince hundreds of zombies to go take a cigarette break?"

A motorcycle is already plenty loud enough to attract Walkers. A few dozen wandering onto the road ahead of them would probably have ended the parade.

A good plan might have been saying "Hey, Morgan, you're pretty good at setting zombie traps. What's a good way to keep them from getting out?" And if you really want to have a big zombie parade, maybe at least wait five minutes until the people walking along next to it have some training? And, I don't know, maybe armor or something? That whole schtick was doomed to fail. Make a ton of noise to keep them following you, and just magically assume that another herd isn't going to come in sideways, and that the W guys who are so famously "not far" won't just start shooting at you with sniper rifles... it's an awful plan. It failed near the ASZ because that's where their enemies chose to make it fail. But there were miles to go for other things to go wrong during. Plus, you really have to be a special piece of work to think "release them into other people's neighborhoods" should be the number one go-to solution.

The reason the plan sucked was that Rick is not a good planner. He's a great fighter. He's a good person to give combat lessons, or to go on runs, or to be on the front lines brutally massacring your enemies. But he's not a brilliant tactician. What he is is a very charismatic and opinionated man who has gotten used to people thinking that he's a great leader.

I think one little easter egg of the black and white is that the argumentative guy who died before I could remember his name is a shoutout to Cooper in NOTLD.

Even on the second viewing, Rick's "No. Who else?" to FPP has me roaring with laughter.

If Ron ever does learn to fight, he's going to be terrifying. The kid can apparently run as fast as a car.
