 What Happened and What's Going On?  That's the title of the episode?  Seriously?  It's sounds like some Agents of SHIELD recap episode.

To me it sounds like a low-price-community-college radio station news hour.

To me it sounds like closing time at a college bar.

No. That's not SERIOUSLY the title of the episode, is it???? If so, I have lost all hope. 

 

That's some title. WTF? It sounds like me...well, any old time, actually.

 

Well, I know I'm just going to be disappointed when Karen Walker the Walker from Will & Grace doesn't show up....

So you're saying it'll be a musical? Ghost Beth returns!

 

To me it sounds like a good title for a flashback episode. Remember when out of the blue they suddenly did a flashback on what Bob was doing a few months ago? (Hint: He was running from zombies and drinking.) Well, now there's a lot of characters we don't know much about. Granted, most of them are about as difficult to guess as Bob was:

 

I'm pretty sure Father Gabriel was a priest, and that whenever a spider got into the church he screamed like a little girl and jumped up onto the alter until one of the old ladies from his congregation tossed it outside. 

And I'm pretty sure Rosita was trying to find a way to make her insurance company pay for "Better Taste in Men" pills. (Hint: She failed. But Gareth didn't.)

Carl was in the Scouts and hoping to soon earn a merit badge for Appreciation of Haberdashery.

Abraham was just recently back from the war, and was trying to find inner peace by working at Sea World where he could spend all his break time admiring the dolphins, but was forced to leave when his weight flunctuations revealed that he was not, in fact, an actual walrus.

Michonne was caught in a traffic accident alongside two trucks, one carrying nuclear waste and the other carrying Ninja Chia pets.

Eugene was watching porn.

Tyreese was trying to play a first-person shooter game with his eleven-year-old niece, but kept freezing up because it was just too much for him to handle emotionally.

Daryl was discovering a magazine called Emo Hair Fashion, and found himself strangely fascinated, but when Merle made fun of it he had to lie and say he'd found it on the ground and only picked it up for fire and toilet paper.

Carol was walking grimly past a hair salon in which other wives chattered excitedly about how thrilled their husbands were going to be when they got home. Daryl was gazing into the window, longingly, but ran away when he saw Carol look at him.

Noah was working in a laundromat, with really mean organized-crime bosses.

And Morgan was also around somewhere, probably for about sixty seconds, looking dramatically at something. Maybe reading a newspaper article about zombies, while eating breakfast? It'll be as much plot as he's had all season.

Ooooo--wheee!  What up with that?  What up with that? I said what is u-u-u-p with that?!

In the finale we will learn that the characters all died at the beginning of the series, and "Atlanta" is Purgatory.

I've been stuck in the Atlanta airport which was more akin to hell.

The Guvna has nothing on USAir!

I'm expecting Marvin Gaye to show up.

Okay, now I have visions of the guys in matching polyester suits with huge bellbottoms doing synchronized zombie kills whilst snapping their fingers and doing fancy footwork. The gals can all be in tight mermaid dresses with big teased beehives singing backup.

Back in the old days of TV, nearly every show, late in its life, would do a "musical show." So, maybe Marvin Gaye WILL show up. Then we could get Issac Hayes from the Rockford Files. We could have a bunch of Walkers line dancing to Putting on the Ritz, a la Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein.

But then, in keeping with old TV tradition, we'd have the show go to Hawaii. There we could have some Walkers eaten by a polar bear, and Eugene could try to figure out "the hatch." And we could have Gareth join up with Ben and they could plan a counterattack with the help of the Others. Meanwhile, back on the beach, Sawyer would be serenading Maggie, until Daryl shows up asking questions, causing Sawyer to say, "Son of a bitch."

Since Marvin Gaye is dead, will he be a walker?

Who the hell is Sawyer?

 

Lost's Sawyer.  And on that show, it was Sayid that was suspected to be a zombie.

 

If they were ever to do a musical number, it would be Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Eugene would be (a vastly inferior version of) Peter Boyle. Unless they run into former governor Jesse Ventura, who bears an amazing resemblance to Boyle, and might well have lost enough of his remaining marbles during the zombie apocalypse to be caterwauling out musical numbers. You know... if that was their Beth-replacement plan all along... I'm totally down with it.

I would laugh my butt off if this episode was a musical. They should probably do a blooper reel at the end of each season or something. I would watch the crap out of that.

 

Beth's funeral, eh?? I bet it will take up most of the episode. Blech.

 

As for Everybody Hates Chris Chris, what will we find in his hometown?!?! My guess is walkers and a small group of survivors that initially conflict with CDB and then go on to join. They could always use more disposable characters to kill randomly in the coming episodes.

It still say the title sounds more flashbacky than musicall. And apparently I think about these things too much, because today, while I was sleeping really,really late,I had a dream about Ed's ghost visiting Carol. I wish like Hell I could remember any details, but I honestly can't. Hopefully it'll happen, though. Carol would destroy Ed. And bonus points if it's still also a musical. 

Not sure if it's worth a return of Ghost Lori, though.

The title sounds like a clip show that gets viewers caught up after a long hiatus.  But I suspect it will more along the lines of characters asking themselves and each other the question 'After what's happened to us how do we keep going on?'.

Only nine hours till The Walking Dead airs here in the west!

 

Except for us lucky West Coasters who get TWD at 6:00 in the p.m. - Yippee Kay-Yay-Aye, mo'fo's!!!  ONE channel my ATTUverse hasn't fucked with - yet.  :-D

Eugene was watching porn.

 

Yep. Lesbian porn, I bet. And he was talking back to the ladies on his screen.

 

Count me in as another who thought the episode title was odd. And, when I watched "the first two minutes," I thought I was watching a preview. I thought it was odd for the actual clip to be bouncing around in time and space like that. *shrug* Well, bring it on, AMC.

 

By the way - we saw Chris Hardwick two weeks ago here in Denver...he is hilarious, if a bit blue.

~~Fellow Denverite waving to Disraeli Ears~~

Okay, you crazed lunatics, I'm cooking my tainted meat for dinner and can't wait for your live commentary. I can't watch until tomorrow, so I'm counting on y'all.

Howdy! Lovely weather this weekend, eh?

 

I love living in the Mountain Time Zone! TWD at 7! We usually wait until 7:30 while we make dinner, that way we can eat dinner and FF through commercials. Tonight we are having big juicy pieces of...steak! Zombie gore doesn't bother this gal.
