CletusMusashi February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 This should be a hard episode to mess up. Without the group separated all over the place, they pretty much have to pay attention to their main story line. I mean, unless Abraham gets lost looking for peach schnapps, who else can they cut to? Morgan? That's fine, because as soon as Morgan gets five minutes of screentime they have to kill either Noah or FPP. So we're looking at either: a cast upgrade or a storyline beyond "let's wander this direction." So, win/win. 5 Link to comment
BrokenRemote February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 I love that, except for the bit about the storm, the synopsis could be about like 30 different episodes. (And, surreal or not, I loved that we had weather last episode). I assume we will learn this week about what Aaron's deal is. (Anyone else always read that as "A. A. Ron" thanks to Key and Peele?) I wouldn't be surprised right now if the group just straight up murdered newcomers on sight, after trusting so many people and not having it pan out so well. 6 Link to comment

CletusMusashi February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 (Anyone else always read that as "A. A. Ron" thanks to Key and Peele?) Every single time. Fortunately, I have not yet developed that problem with the group's leader, Rie-See-Kay. Link to comment
JackONeill February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 The only thing I can add: Rick needs a new shirt, preferably one not so tight. Link to comment

The sight of Rick in his t-shirt in the rain was a high point of the episode. He has some awesome pecs. Edited February 21, 2015 by CarpeDiem54 8 Link to comment

I swear in the promo when he talks to "the new guy", as soon as AL is on camera he stood up straighter and took a deep breath. Hey, he didn't spend all that time working out just to be modest about it. 3 Link to comment
CletusMusashi February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 Rick Grimes is so buff, he does not even have a chin beneath his beard. Only a third pec muscle. 8 Link to comment
NurseGiGi February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) Rick Grimes is so tough he could beat Chuck Norris in a kick boxing tournament.......using only his beard. Edited February 21, 2015 by NurseGiGi 9 Link to comment
NoWillToResist February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 Is it wrong to kind of appreciate Aaron's response to Rick's question? Because the question does strike me as kind of dumb. I mean, is there a good answer to give? One that will automatically make CDB stand down and be all "hey, cool! Welcome!" No. Not after what they've all seen and experienced. So what's the point of the question? Will you believe whatever answer he gives? If yes, why? If not, then why ask? Is it a test such that when you finally meet his people you'll take a head count and use that to determine whether he can be trusted moving forward? ;) I did however find his whole reassuring, understanding attitude at the beginning to be kind of patronizing. Yeah, they don't trust you, idiot. Why would they? And I'm pretty sure they give zero fucks about whether you understand their attitude... 5 Link to comment
CarpeDiem54 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I say, let Daryl have a little "talk" with Aaron ala Randall. It would wipe that smile off his face, get some blood and grime on his J. Crew shirt and give Daryl a chance to get in touch with his inner redneck badass self. Link to comment

It's a good question: If any of us had a shelter, and wanted to take people in.what would you say or do that wouldn't seem like you were conning people for evil reasons? If you were on the road and needed a shelter, what would tip you off that someone was just tricking you? 1 Link to comment

Except that this current incarnation of Daryl would probably just mope and cry all over the guy until he decides they're all too much of a weepy mess to bother with and leave on his own.

Reverse psychology at its finest: "Why the hell should we take YOUR bunch in!?" If you were on the road and needed a shelter, what would tip you off that someone was just tricking you? Excessive barbecue sauce breath, maybe...? 2 Link to comment
CletusMusashi February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Aaron is from Springfield. Homer finally wants to apologize about what happened to Frank Grimes. 3 Link to comment
Soobs February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Pretty cocky to mouth off to the people who tied you up. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to lay on a little charm? And who walks towards two armed women saying they're a friend? Stand in one place, dude! Either Aaron is a bad guy or the people he hangs out are totally socially inept and he's the best they've got. Did any semi normal people live through the ZA? 3 Link to comment
CletusMusashi February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 (edited) Maybe he's just a distraction, and while the entire cast worry about him they'll get ambushed from behind by ninjas. "Orange Backpack Guy sends his regards!" Edited February 22, 2015 by CletusMusashi 4 Link to comment

minamurray78 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Perhaps someone should warn Aaron that, despite being decent folk and without meaning to, these people bring catastrophe with them wherever they go: encampment? overrun in the middle of the night; CDC? blown to smithereens; Farm? half burnt and overrun; Prison? fences down and structural damage; Terminus? overrun and compromised; Church? interior trashed. And while Grady was still standing when they left, I bet its occupants will end up phagocytizing each other eventually. 10 Link to comment
The Mighty Peanut February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Rick is really beginning to channel Chewbacca with that beard. Like I half expected him to be all "Aannngghh" when he asked how many people Aaron had. Also my bird just discovered the magnified side of his mirror and is staring at himself obsessively and I have to share or I'll die. His name is Pennington. 8 Link to comment

He's fascinated by himself! Mine loved mariachi music; from the first time he heard it he went nuts, within a month he would dance up and down and ring his bells and shake his head up and down. lol 4 Link to comment

BrokenRemote February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 I don't think he is bad. The seemingly good guys are always bad, so if the writers are smart, this guy won't follow the exact same pattern If he is a good guy, Rick done screwed it up big time. 3 Link to comment

CletusMusashi February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Damn, Rick! At least hear the guy out first, before you knock him out. He might have been telling the truth, and if not, the lies people pick often tell you something. 2 Link to comment
