War is going to break out between Rick's people and the Alexandrians. I bet that guy lies about how Aiden and Noah died. Carol is right that Rick is going to have to kill Pete. Poor fucking Noah. What a horrible death. He was such a good guy. Eugene did good. He surprised me. Abraham had to take those losers in hand. Like Rick, he has an instinct for danger. Gabriel has gone insane.

HalcyonDays March 16, 2015 Author Share March 16, 2015 WHY NOAH!! WHY!!!! I loved his character! Of course he dies, when he was to learn architecture and construction. Of course FPP has to come up with his bloody "satan" theory - the irony being that this entire episode, "satan" was every member of Deanna's group. You stupid show - you kill Noah, but not this ungrateful coward. Please. I think you guys called it about Pete. Surprised Carol was that mean to Sam, though he is an irritating kid. Glenn - I wish he put a bullet in the head of that guy. Other guy (Deanna's son) deserved it - but what a brutal way to go. I hope Tara is okay, but man Eugene - you suddenly got some cohones. And Abraham - is the best! And the punch that Francine gave that asshole - a thing of beauty. Rick's group just needs to get rid of the mess in Alexandria and take over. They are the only worthy ones. Also - WHY YOU KILL NOAH!!! BASTARDS! 18 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23623-s05e14-spend/#findComment-929557

mustbekarma March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 So much drama. So much death. Noah's death was horrible. Aiden's was horrible, but deserved. The people who stand and fight are horrible people, and the good guys are the ones who run away. Father Gabriel pisses me off. Of course, all Maggie has to do is tell Deanna that Father Gabriel locked all his people outside of the church and let them die. Of course, in the ASZhats twisted minds, that was the proper course of action. OK, that was mean. Francine and the foreman who resigned, they would hate Father Gabriel. I liked the idea that the Camp Dinner Bell people lead by example. They're just natural leaders. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23623-s05e14-spend/#findComment-929569

Enero March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 (edited) So they kill off Noah and make the only other black man left a psycho and a traitor. Why am I not surprised. That said the priest does have a point. Rick and crew are dangerous and wherever they go a dark cloud follows. ASZ ain’t gone be safe for long. Glad Maggie overheard his confession though and will hopefully warn the others. We didn’t get much time to know Noah, but the little time we did get with him I was really starting to like him. I think he could've been a real asset had he not died. His shot had gotten pretty good and his head was in the right place. Very smart of him to want to learn from the senator's husband about infrastructure and how to build and protect the community. Which makes it even more so sad that he died. I’m glad that Glenn left that coward, don’t know his name, at the warehouse. His ass should’ve been torn apart by zombies. I hate the storyline with Rick/Jessie and now Carol acting like Lady Macbeth. If she thinks Jessie’s husband needs to die why don’t she kill him? Why put that on Rick? The Alexandrians really are a bunch of cowards, save for maybe Aaron and his boyfriend. No wonder they’ve been having to recruit more folks because as time went on the cowardice of this group have likely been getting what few good runners they had killed or left for dead. No Michonne this week? Not liking that either. The senator is not going to be happy to hear that her son died and only people from Rick’s crew returned from the run. Her fears are being further realized. The senator's son being eating alive, literally while he screamed in horror as was Noah's death literally being torn apart, goes down as the worst.deaths.ever. on this show, and both were pretty damn gross too.

Pete Martell March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 (edited) What a hugely uneven show this is becoming. Everything with Rick, Jessie (who for the third straight episode still has no identity outside of Rick) and her creepy husband, who comes right out of bad USA Network TV movies from 20 years ago - it just sucks. Rick's motivation are as vague to me as ever, I find it more than a little insulting that Jessie is truly just an object for Rick to "save" - a breathing version of those damn owl statues). And it feels like Carol's involvement in this story is a cover, in some sense, for Rick's obsessiveness. Rick has to get involved - Pete's abusive! It's just a waste of Melissa McBride to have Carol stuck doing this for an episode, and I almost dread watching Rick scenes at this point, which is sad, as he was one of my favorite characters. And Andrew Lincoln continues to have no chemistry that I could see with the woman who plays Jessie, in spite of this being such a huge life-altering connection that makes him feel for the first time since Lori, blah blah blah. Everything else, other than the rushed, forced scene of Gabriel going on and on and on about evil heathens (which was overwritten and felt endless), worked for me. I was more involved in Abraham's drama than I ever thought I would be. Are they finally getting a handle on this character? I also liked Francine a lot. Eugene's believable heroics, the glimpses of Tara's humor and heart before her injury, Glenn trying his best to lead only to be horribly betrayed, and poor poor Noah (I will never get over that) - this worked beautifully. And while it's lazy writing to say that Alexandria can't survive without the group, it also makes an odd sort of sense, given how pampered they've been. Glenn watching Noah die - one of the best acting moments in 5 seasons of this show. Bravo, Steven Yeun! I also have to praise Tovah Feldshuh for doing so much with a look or a line reading. I don't really like Deanna very much - I think she's deluded and sheltered and a poor leader - but I can understand her, which I rarely do with "leader" figures on this show. If we get another episode like this I'm going to start hoping Rick just wanders off my screen for a good long while.

I do not even get his motivation with that crap. How does painting CDB in a bad light going to serve him? Not Noah!!!! Ugh, so sad. He was going to build walls, damnit. It was just too soon. And probably the most gruesome CDB death we've seen so far. I just really hate those ASZhats with the fire of a thousand suns. I hate their "system", I hate their negligence, I hate their techno music. I hate everything about them. Glad to see Aiden go. Of course, that's not going to go down well with Deanna, especially given what FPP has said. She already seems to be trippin about losing too much control. Eugene finally stepped up! Go, Eugene. Your mullet looked even better than ever tonight. I was glad to see Abraham found a place. He needs a distraction, so he doesn't think too much about all that has happened and all he has done. Plus, he's just better at leading. At least Tobin was humble enough to admit that. Well, our Porch Dick suspicions have basically been confirmed. I was pretty touched by the scenes with Carol and Sam. He obviously wasn't scared too badly by her. But she was clearly trying to distance herself from caring about yet another kid. I really would prefer SHE kill Pete, instead of Rick. One abused wife avenging another. Did I mention I HATE FPP??? 30 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23623-s05e14-spend/#findComment-929639
