And for a little trivia: If you are wondering where the strange one word episode titles are coming from, as many have pointed out, it comes from this quote:

 

“...I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire...I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.”
                                                                                                    ― William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury

Um ... Rick needs to be exiled*. There's a middle ground between separating Jessie from Pete, and keeping the town doctor, and "executing" Pete.

 

They keep underestimating these townspeople, while forgetting that they were surviving in style well before CDB rolled into there. Rick says, "We're the ones who live!" Plenty of them have died, too.

 

*I'd elaborate further, but that'd be getting into the previews for next week.

Did.not.care. about the abuse storyline. I was rolling my eyes so hard at the predictability of that storyline that my eyes nearly rolled out of my head.

 

Have no interest in the raging hormones of Carl and his new girlfriend.

 

The Michonne, Sasha and Rose stuff was interesting as was the stuff with Darryl and Aaron, wish we’d got more of that, than the Desperate Housewives/Teen Angst crap.

 

Thank you Michonne for knocking the hell out of Rick! That was funny as hell. He was acting like a complete lunatic. Though I do have to wonder how this is going to affect their dynamic and the dynamic of the group. They are obviously on different pages regarding this situation.

 

We know that Carol is on Rick's side. Afterall she was smiling when he was giving his ridiculous speech. Michonne is opposite. I think Glenn could end up on Rick's side too. Not sure about the others though.

Count me in on the "Rick has it coming" bandwagon.  What would Lori think about her husband now?

 

However, I'm also on the "Holier-than-thou Alexandrians suck" bandwagon.  I'm so torn.  I know!  Make Michonne queen of the Alexandria Safe Zone.

 

Also, this is the first episode I really noticed how deep Chandler Riggs' voice has gotten.  Oh, the little boy is becoming a man.  So proud.

I found this entire episode very confusing. Not one thing made sense to me.

Darryl is getting closer to finding out who keeps leaving trails of bodies and parts everywhere.

Rick is no longer able to hide his desire to just take over this place.

As we figured, there were two different stories about what happened on the run.

It's blatant to Glenn that Rick never wanted to be one of these people.

Sasha just doesn't give a fuck anymore. She's lost too much.

The people of this town are willing to over look troubling traits of their members if it benefits them.

Sides need to be chosen.

 

All of this seemed pretty clear.

In my constant losing battle to keep everything Morgan related, I swore those Ws were really just upside down Ms.

No? Too crack pot? I might be sipping the Rictatorship juice a little too hard lately.

Anyway, yawn to everything that wasn't DarRon related. I mean, I'm glad Rick's time in the real world has affected him so much, because that's the reality of it, but he's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over JESSIE? I'm still not buying this rush job.

I don't know that Michonne is completely opposite.  I tend to believe that she's got a lot of good sense and knows that a lot of what Rick was saying was correct about the aszhats' lack of preparedness and sense of reality.  She also knew it wasn't going to do anyone any good to hear it from Rick's Fun Brand of ZA Batshit Crazy.

Yvette just said possible M's  on TD.

I finally pinpointed what bothers me about the whole Rick/Jessie/Pete thing. I just don't care. I really don't give a rat's ass about Jessie or Pete or their kids, beyond the fact that I think Sam is a less twisted version of Lizzie. This entire storyline is just boring me. More than the search for Sophia and Lori's epic Lady Macbeth-ing of Rick and Shane in season two. More than Woodbury. Even more than the hospital arc!

 

However, I will give it some credit for Michonne as the Rick Whisperer.
