S05.E03: Four Walls And A Roof - Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[halgia]

This thread is for chatting about the episode before and during its original airing. After it airs, switch to the main episode threads. In terms of the book talk / no book talk split, please spoiler-tag any references to the comics.

[SimoneS]

Nice, a live thread.

[editorgrrl]

AMC 60-second sneak peek. The episode page has a synopsis ("Rick and the group find themselves pitted against some very nasty people, but our group might just have a plan to gain the upper hand"), 2 photos, and a link to the story sync.

[bosawks]

Nice, a live thread.

In this particular instance wouldn't it be a "dead thread".....

[SoSueMe]

Looks like Sasha is getting some quality time....

[JBody]

Hello peeps. First time ever we see an ep live! How exciting! However, not looking forward to commercials. Well, you take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and then you have the facts of life. Harrumph. Oh yes, today is my son's 3rd birthday and he skipped his nap so went to bed super early (totally not my fault) but nice to not have toddler-interruptness.

[JBody]

I believe kikismom said I better be on this thread so here I am.

[Armchair Critic]

I learned after last week to not eat while watching this show (Gareth munching on Bob's leg made me about lose it)

[kikismom]

I believe kikismom said I better be on this thread so here I am.

Yes I did!

[fliptopbox]

Good opener so far. Gareth is creepy as fuck.

[Armchair Critic]

So it is Gareth's people driving the car that Daryl and Carol are chasing? Did they take Beth?

[kikismom]

oohooh Bob is laughing!

[lookattheflowers]

Haha tainted meat, knew that was coming!!

[Armchair Critic]

"I've been bitten you stupid freaks, I'm tainted meat" - we were right that he WAS bitten.

[lulee]

BoB-BQ. It goes down easy. Comes up chunky.

[bosawks]

I'm going to have to start going vegan on Sunday night.

[SimoneS]

Poor Bob. 

[fliptopbox]

Well I guess we will see what happens now.

As far as if and how fast Gareth and crew turn.

[SoSueMe]

I counted 5 termites, is that about right?

[TexasChic]

That was awesome!!!! Go Bob!

[JBody]

The SCENE! Tainted meat! Knew it was coming but brilliant nonetheless.

Maggie has new clothes. Nice.

[raven]

YAY!! Tainted meat!!! ahahaha!!

[sorrynotsorry]

TAINTED I bet they miss the usda right now

[Armchair Critic]

That minister is so twitchy I kind of feel sorry for him, but I have a feeling he must be helping the Termites out in exchange for him being able to survive

[ParadoxLost]

I don't get the logic of tainted meat.  Everyone is and its beyond the point where everyone doesn't know that.  Once people start killing people instead of just the zombies, you've got to know everyone turns.

[kikismom]

So it is Gareth's people driving the car that Daryl and Carol are chasing? Did they take Beth?

No, the other guys around the fire almost got Carol first...but she and Daryl drove after a car.

[kj4ever]

Omg my dvr didn't record the first three minutes.... started at Gareth saying "we almost caught the Grey haired bitch that killed my mother" please cliff notes version of what he said before that! Can't believe this happened!

[fliptopbox]

I am already tired of Father Fearful. Just let someone kill him. Please? He's annoying.

[SimoneS]

I actually felt for Gabriel, but what he did was horrible.

So the preacher's secret was that he locked out his parishioners and watched them get eaten by the walkers? Still wonder if he knows about the Termites.

[kikismom]

Yeah I kinda don't understand why it's okay to get walker blood splashed in your eye and face and mouth but if you cook a living person who has been bit it's bad for you?

[lulee]

Oooh! A scarlet letter A on the church. That's not a good thing. Wait .. .this is the Termites ... Maybe that's their Health Dept. rating for the foodpeople inside?

kj4ever - I don't think you missed much. Gareth was just saying how women taste better because of their extra layer of fat. He mentioned Sasha and said pretty people taste better.

Except that its a thousand time creepier to watch them eat Bob once you've had concrete confirmation that they are eating Bob.

[kikismom]

Allrighty, Gareth tells Bob how they like to eat women best because of the tenderizing effect of the extra layer of fat "for childbearing" and Gareth says even the skinny ones have it "like that girl Sasha" (he knows her name too, and Rick's name) and how the guys he's with almost got Carol. He said stuff about evolving and devolving from Terminus to being hunters.

There's been speculation that the virus is dormant until the person dies, then it is a live virus. Being bitten would infect you with the activated-live virus.

[Armchair Critic]

Bob is going to have to admit he was bit to Camp Dinner Bell

[JBody]

The scarlet letter A like their boxcar. Oh Fr Gabriel you are a sinner. Poor Bob. Poor Sascha.

[raven]

aw Bob :((

[lulee]

Bob let the others know that Daryl and Carol drove off - Intriguing! How will they respond to that info???

[Armchair Critic]

Oh shutup Abraham

[kikismom]

why doesn't Gabriel want them to know where the school is?

 

And why doesn't someone tell Abraham to screw himself?

[bosawks]

"Due south of the graveyard."

Awesome, just what I want to hear in the middle of the night during the Zombie Apocalypse.

[Armchair Critic]

Abraham and Eugene are nice and fleshy Termites, have at 'em

[lulee]

why doesn't Gabriel want them to know where the school is?

Dunno. Maybe he was afraid of being alone after all that time alone.

[kikismom]

Glenn is in full Herschel mode.

[lookattheflowers]

Lovin' the pissing contest!

[SoSueMe]

Wow, Maggie still hasn't mentioned Beth.

[SimoneS]

This is so stupid. I cannot believe that anyone is taking Eugene having the cure seriously.

Oh sad time. Death watch.
