Alexandria could take a hint from those guys and start their own zombie rave. Those walkers were so dutiful in going back in the truck, even with fresh meat just a few feet away through the fence. Deanna even already has the perfect mix CD to use.

I hope Deanna at least reevaluates her supposedly awesome people-reading poker skills.

When Rick got walker goo dumped on him like he was Jennifer Beals in Flashdance, I thought man, I hope all those wounds on your face are sealed up tight, buddy. Oh and the red poncho made me think of the red balloon from last week.

I hope there's more to these "wolves" than the two guys Morgan whupped with his stick. It seemed like kind of a lot of buildup and then we get two jerks with no bullets and a zombie rave.

For a second, I thought Daryl and Aaron being in that car was going to turn into a fanfic moment. "There's gotta be something in here we can use to cover the windows!" "Yeah... our clothes." And then the prayer circle with Gabriel. What the damn hell. At least drag his ass to the tribal council and make him confess he basically killed his congregation and is suffering from survivor's guilt. What was with moving Pete into a new house... mere feet away from his old house?! He could've practically continued slapping Jessie around from his front porch! I just don't even know with these people. And Glenn letting Nicholas live. No. Just no. There are times to take the high road and then there are times when you kill an asshole who's a genuine threat to you and others.

Will somebody please eat one of Carol's casseroles? For crying out loud! Next season, that's what I'm rooting for.

I think I have the wariest feeling about Glenn and/or Maggie biting it. Glenn could get offed by asshole Nicholas with Chekhov's Blender Gun. Maggie could confront asshole Gabriel about his tattling, and he could end up killing her to protect his own miserable congregation-killing hide. On the one hand, it would be kind of obvious for Glenn to die that way. On the other hand... I don't have a counter. On a shallow note, I hope Deanna's surviving son doesn't die just because I'd like to look at him some more next season.

"Someone is not who they seem." Maybe Reg confesses he's not a professor of architecture, or an architect, or even someone who can build a Popsicle stick diorama.

Exactly! I turned to my friend and asked, "Is this where Fabio shows up with the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter?"

Yeah, I couldn't tell if he had stomach pain or was trying to hide a cough. Or both. He seemed uncomfortable. I've always thought his lifestyle--endless hours sitting in that car, eating greasy food--would lead to the worst hemorrhoids ever. Maybe he's having a flare up. Oh and were those flashbacks corny on purpose or did they just come out that way?

I hope Crowley is playing some kind of long con against his mother because I just can't take him like this if he's being sincere.

I think the highlight of the episode was that adorable hamster. Olivette got to keep her necklace in tiny size.

That was a waste of a Rolling Stones title.

It would have been awesome if that red balloon had been like the one in that French movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Y1tRBOXfA

When they were listening to Aiden's "Run Mix" CD, it would have been great if someone had said, "He was lucky he didn't get eaten sooner, blaring this loud-ass music wherever he meant." I remember thinking last episode they would be attracting those noise-loving walkers by playing that thumping music. I don't hate Jessie, but I don't really care what happens to the character because I don't feel like the show has put the effort into developing her outside of Rick. Even whiny coward Nicholas has gotten more development, in that he's interacted with more characters and had moments alone. The only time we've seen Jessie alone is in her house for the seconds before Rick came barging in. That brief little bit was the only time I felt like she was a character in her own right and not just a tool to spur the plot. I mean obviously yes, everybody moves the plot in their own ways, but they should still feel like 3 dimensional characters who exist outside of it.

Also, when Carol was opening that can of tuna, I thought about how awesome the wild tuna population must be doing now that humans aren't mass fishing. Also sharks. Unless the sharks are zombies, too.

When Sasha was out shooting all those walkers, or any time people use a lot of ammo, I always think it would be such a useful skill in the apocalypse to know how to make ammo...

On a shallow note, Deanna's surviving son is pretty fine.

I was hoping when Rick said he would only do this for Jessie that she'd say, "Uh no thanks, then, because I don't really need another violent guy obsessed with me right now." But instead she decided that she wanted his help because he thought she was special. Did she realize he meant that he would kill Pete for her? Because she was acting kind of horrified at the sight of it. I guess it's different seeing it come to pass than thinking of it hypothetically.

Yeah, "Sammy Boy" doesn't seem like something you'd call a guy who's supposed to be almost ten years older than you. They probably could have done a better job casting for a 24-year-old character, or written him older from the start.

Yeah, if Cole's insider source was going to give him confidential info, it sure wouldn't have been through a dang email.

Dean's in a cabin. It's over a hundred degrees. Steam chokes the air. Surely this calls for cutting down to a single layer of clothing, right? Hahahha no. Of course not.

If legit lightsabers existed, that's what I'd want.

I'm just pointing out what the show wrote. They could have had him say, "She was dangerous and she needed to be put down," but they had him say he wanted her dead even though he knew it had been an accident. I think they're being deliberate in how they're moving him towards morally darker territory.

Well, he did say a few episodes ago that he killed Dawn because he wanted her dead. He said he knew she hadn't shot Beth on purpose, but he wanted her dead anyway. I think they're just trying to show that Rick's been changing.
