Back to the blanket you go!

By "test" do they mean quizzing them on Bible passages? Traditional gender roles? Gothard's rules to abide by? I like to think they're going to forcefeed poor Benny tatertot casserole until he pukes. Wouldn't that be a sight to see.

If they're writing for next season now, when will they start filming? Any ideas? And we know that it won't return until October (*SOB!*) but what time in October? I don't think I can wait that long.

My sister tallyed that I said "Oh, my God" 17 times in this episode. I sat on the floor with a blanket over my head (but I could see) and my hands on my mouth for a good portion. It was amazing!! Much better than Season 4's finale (IMO). I thought the powdered milk on the ground outside the train car might have been a sign that Judith/Carol/Tyrese were there. Hopefully, let weren't eaten or whatever nefarious deeds could have transpired. I didn't see anything else that would indicate they were there, but it's perfectly plausible I missed it. Wowee wowee wow that candle room thing!! Creepy. Reminded me of "Never forgive" a la The Woman in Black. The whole Carl-almost-got-raped thing was what really pushed it over the edge. Maybe hit a little too close to home, but I was never more satisfied with Rick than when he "got" Not So Lucky Dan. I'm sure there are more things I want to comment on, but for now, 12 hours later, I'm still processing. I can't wait for next Season.

The one thing I'm super afraid of is the road congestion issue. With me, it's not a problem, but I know a lot of people will be fleeing my way. The poor souls are going to get stuck in traffic as hordes just eat their way down the lanes and turning more people into them. I think, when I can afford it, I'm going to get a better car/truck/SUV. My little front wheeled drive sedan is going to get me in trouble.

I went on a trip to the Southwest last May and saw some prairie houses. My first thought, other than being afraid for the poor souls who were stuck under collapsed roofs, was how they made any babies with the homes more like huts. It's enough to scar a poor kid forever. I built the house from the show on the Sims and they had a pretty difficult time of it (the Sims did). I may have cheated and made kids sleep in the barn, but hey, that's what they did to Albert, IIRC.

Who's going to bring the industrial soda machine?

I have thought through this extensively. I live in the Appalachian mountains and my family owns a mid-sized piece of land (87 acres) that includes a small orchard, a small farm (we have pigs, chickens, and a few cows), and fields for hay, sorghum, potatoes, corn, and a bean patch along with a small herb and kitchen garden. Since this takes up a good chunk of the mountain (it is a small one), I would reinforce the fencing for the majority of the fields to keep out Zs. For the humans, I was thinking an electric fence powered by either a small hydroelectric dam, wind turbines, and most certainly photovoltaic cells. I'm going to invite others to live on the commune, as I like to call it, to provide good breeding stock. If others come along and I like them, they can join. My family consists of many, many EMTs, so we have some medical care, and I'm in the early stages of midwifery training (so that's a plus!). My family has also lived off the land for generations, so we know what's up. We also have a lot of guns, but would probably use quieter, more sustainable weapons if it was only a few Zs. Of course, there are other things to consider. But this is the basic gist of what I've decided.

Some canned foods and processed foods are good up to 10 years, which is when you'd really have to worry about botulism. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying maybe they're reading the labels?\ And they're not forgetting to floss after eating fruit so the fruit leather doesn't stay in their teeth. Right, Rick? ;)

Hi, everyone!! I went by a variety of names over at TWoP, but we're here now so that doesn't matter. The lady at Terminus reminded me of Rob Schneider's wife in "Grown Ups", but in a much creepier way.

Is it too late to get in on the gloriousness that is this group? I only lurked over at TWoP and am trying to speed read to get it all in before it goes down. I bring Ma's cooking as a gift. Am I in now?

Nels: You should be locked in a cage and fed with a stick. You have made like harder for everyone. (Or something to that nature. I don't remember the direct quote.)

How is hand holding worse than a side hug? These people have me confused. Maybe that's their preferred tactic? Confuse the masses and while they're attempting to unmuddle their thoughts, take over the world.

It was Jordyn, IIRC. A double wedding might sound horrible now, but I'd love to share that awkwardness with someone. Especially since there would be two awkward first kisses going on. I do hope those boys don't try to eat their mouths off like TFDW (I think it was him?).

Howdy! I went by many names over at TwoP but we're beginning again. If we're having a housewarming, then I'm bringing that ice cream sandwich cake. I'd also like to say: I live in MD and saw Joshie on the metro once. I will have you know I stared at him the whole time. (Over a book, of course. Didn't want to be too creepy.)
