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: 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 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23914-s05e15-try/#findComment-943652

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.

Enero March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 (edited) 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.

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.

Popular Post ghoulina March 23, 2015 Popular Post Share March 23, 2015 Well, alrighty then. There's a new cop in town...and her name is Michonne. I literally said, 'WHAT. THE. FUCK?" when that happened. Honestly, I could get behind Rick all the way if the writers didn't insist on portraying Rick as ONLY caring that Pete hits Jessie because he's into her. I wouldn't even care if he was into her, but to have him say he wouldn't do this for anyone else? Really? I don't buy that for a minute. He'd just let any other wife beater walk free? No. Fuck that. It's really taking me out of the moment, to be honest. Deanna sucks too. She's all, "We don't kill people. This is civilization". So it's civilization when men are beating on their wives and their kids lock themselves in closets?" And she rejected Carol's casserole? Bitch, look at the flowers. So was it Nicholas who took Rick's gun? And why? Unfair Wolves are close! Enid is super cheesy, but I'm happy for Carl. I liked the scene with Rosita, Sasha, and Michonne. I was hoping they would get through to her, but she's still dealing with some heavy shit. Michonne is trying to find her middle ground. She doesn't want to become complacent and forget what's out there, but she doesn't want to have all these walls up and ruin their shot at a home either. Hence knocking Rick the fuck out. Damn.

Popular Post LeafontheWind March 23, 2015 Popular Post Share March 23, 2015 I am reminded of what Carol said when they first arrived at ASZ. Even though Rick was wrong, he was still right. He is right that Pete shouldn't be allowed to beat his wife (though I don't believe he wouldn't do intervene for someone else, regardless of the attraction he feels toward Jessie). He is right that the way they run things in ASZ is unsafe and asking for trouble. He is right that, sooner or later, trouble will come and these people are not prepared. But, unfortunately, he is sooooooo wrong in his approach to this situation. He is clearly not fully in control of himself right now, but nothing he did this episode was smart. In any way. I really wish he could have handled this better. Think of the children, Rick! Judith and Carl need a home! 35 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23914-s05e15-try/#findComment-955048

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!
