S05.E05: Self Help – Speculation and Live Chat

[Armchair Critic]

WTF? Eugene wanted them to crash.

[bosawks]

I'm with Tara , "What the hell!?!?"

[Ellaria]

I'm about done with Eugene.

[lulee]

Can Eugene just wander out and be eaten by walkers, please?

[BrokenRemote]

Did Eugene basically just admit he can't cure anything? Also Abe is fine with Eugene watching?

Damn, I'm liking Tara a lot right now...she'll probably die before the end of the episode.

Either that or he's worried the cure might not work anymore. I'm leaning towards the first part.

Still no Beth talk???

[india wilkes]

Omg. Maggie and glenn are so boriiiiiing

"You thinking about them?" could just as easy be "You thinking about Beth?" Now I know the omission is on purpose.

[Irishmaple]

Maggie's never going to mention Beth again, is she?  It's like her sister no longer exists in her world.

[Armchair Critic]

Is Maggie ever going to mention her sister? Please no more "making whoopee" sounds, I hope they don't go there with Glen & Maggie tonight.

 

** great minds think alike and all that with us all mentioning Beth. Somebody had to mention her (*rimshot*)

At first I thought "You thinking about them?" referred to Abraham and Rosita! :-)

[Boofish]

Dear everyone who has had lines in this episode,

Just die already. In no particular order

[nodorothyparker]

Why did I just watch this idiot watch people have sex?  Why am I watching any of this?

[kikismom]

Hoo-ray.

It's a new record...we are halfway through the episode and absolutely nothing has happened that matters.

Ohhh, shit. Hadn't thought of that. Don't do that, show. There's at least three other people that could go before Tara.

[lulee]

Abraham was married to the ghost of Amy Winehouse?

[calliope1975]

Is it my TV or is everything really, really dark? I can't see half of my screen, let alone anything that might be happening. 

 

Dare I say - this is worse than last week.

[kikismom]

Oh no..Abrahams's wife is the chick from Seinfeld who had sex with George Costanza with her head on a hot plate!

[kj4ever]

What was the purpose of the out the window shot? Was that a walker? Not only can I not understand them, we are back to night shots where you can't see anything.

[Irishmaple]

And he's back to being a jerk.  I guess I just sobered up!

[TigerLynx]

Maggie and Glenn need to get away from these cartoon characters, and back to Rick & Co.

[lulee]

Oh, good, a noisy truck to attract walkers.

[Crone]

Abraham is wearing a wedding ring.... Hadn't noticed that before.

I have an older non-HD tv and I have this problem too. I dim the lights in the house when I watch this but it doesn't help much.

[SimoneS]

Tara peeking at Abraham and Rosita cracked me up. 

 

I don't mind Eugene so much this episode although he is creepy as hell.

Somebody called Roadside Assistance?

I thought she looked like a skinny Sarah Silverman, lol.

[SimoneS]

The water taking out the walkers was really cool. Eugene was actually useful.

[lulee]

Apparently walkers are killed now by water from a firehose?

[Armchair Critic]

At this point if I was Maggie & Glen I would be making plans to escape these nutcases

[BrokenRemote]

Yeah no way they'll attract attention in that thing. Bet there are 1000 walkers behind the door. Probably why the truck was there to begin with. Abe is nuts.

[SimoneS]

Now we know why the firetruck was left there; to keep the walkers inside the building.

 

At least, they have non-toilet bowl water now.

 

I liked Rosita telling Abraham about the firetruck. She is far smarter than they have shown her so far.

Interesting turn of events...more interesting than anything else in this episode so far.

Another duplicate?? So sorry.

Edited November 10, 2014 by SoSueMe

[Irishmaple]

I suspected Abraham was none too stable without his mission, but I may have underestimated the depth of his potential crazy.  Rosita is looking better and better, and WTH is she doing with that crew?

.

Nicotero did say they're getting flimsier as time goes on.

[nodorothyparker]

They do know they outnumber this clown and don't actually have to listen to him, right?

Isn't the water pressure from a fire hose supposed to be really powerful? I can see it knocking the the head off/destroying the brain of a rotting walking corpse

[BrokenRemote]

Ugh. That mess from above is sickening.

I forgot I had rewound my DVR and was a couple minutes behind you guys. I was like 'how do they know what's gonna happen before it does?" Need more booze. And to FFWD during this commercial.

I had that problem, but I went into "Set-up" and adjusted the picture brightness. Except for shots they clearly intend to be pitch-black, I can see!

[Straycat80]

So Eugene who apparently is useless knows how to work a fire truck water hose?

[Macbeth]

Abraham and Co. fit so well with Camp Dinner Bell.

 

Last season Eugene took out the truck with his automatic - now he took out the bus.  And I am sure there is a long list of vehicles he took out.

 

All of those eyes on him - keeping him safe - and he is getting away with this crap?

 

 

[Armchair Critic]

Looks like Abraham's family ran away from him. This new group should do the same.

[BrokenRemote]

Did Abe's family leave him because he had a little blood on his hands? Or are his memories false?

[Boofish]

They dont even need a plan. Just walk off.

I'm impresed with how fresh and put together booty shorts spice always look. Now she probably smells like sex, walker guts, fire hose water, donuts, shame and expired mustard, but she looks fresh!

[Ellaria]

Why do they keep talking about the mullet?

[Irishmaple]

Why do the women feel the need to bond with Eugene?  I'd walk through zombies to avoid him.

May have to try this. On other AMC shows I have problems with the sound too.
