Off Topic:Does anyone else ALMOST hit the "report this post" button when trying to hit the "thumbs up" button?

Yes.

They killed that guy.

[raven]

Wow they are making the head military guy the most obnoxious asshole possible. 

[ToniG]

Off Topic:Does anyone else ALMOST hit the "report this post" button when trying to hit the "thumbs up" button?

Yes-constantly.

[wait.what]

Dr. X????

EVIL Dr. X

[calliope1975]

Sandrine Holt, you are very pretty, but I am suspicious of you.

[raven]

She's from the government!  Run Liza Run!

[ilovethedark]

Did anyone else catch the rev 21:4 on the fence?

"4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Liza ain't feeling that Doctor, welcome to the show Sandrine Holt.

[wait.what]

Madison is making a Walker Hole.

Dumbbbbb

[SimoneS]

Hector is dead and his wife will be soon. The military is cleaning out the infected.

[wait.what]

Shouldn't there be walkers ambling around? Does Madison have a weapon?

[Nostariel]

Madison is being proactive! Something might actually happen this episode!

[wait.what]

PICK UP THE GUN

[Lillith]

Ooh I'm getting unpleasant post 9/11 flashbacks with all of those missing posters.  She's about to learn some unpleasant truths.  

[raven]

Yes Madison they're lying to you!!  But you should still have taken some kind of weapon.

 

Uh oh dead people stink.   Grab that gun! 

 

No one picked up the trash...or the bodies.

[calliope1975]

I can't even imagine the grossness of LA during the ZA. It's gross enough in North Hollywood right now without it.

[Glaze Crazy]

Pick up that hand gun Madison! Trust us.

[mightysparrow]

I think even Travis might think it's a good idea to have a gun in the house right now.

[wait.what]

Hector is dead and his wife will be soon. The military is cleaning out the infected.

And the weak or crazy. Nick better watch out.

[Peanut]

Madison got the gun!  Wise choice! 

 

See, now this is the sort of scene I love in my zombie apocalypse shows.  Not angsty families.  Or dead pets. 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

That body in the street, appeared to still be human when killed.

Ditto for the one slumped against the wall.

[Amelie06]

I don't get what the military guys are getting out of this. Why not just take over a place where most people have genuinely died or self-evacuated. It seems like so much more work to pretend to help people when you are actually only helping yourself. They have to deal with all these people and their issues. Ain't nobody got time for that in the ZA! Travis alone would make me rethink this strategy. Literally just go a block away, military guys!

[Raven1707]

Initiative and gumption?  Now we're getting somewhere!

[wait.what]

Madison got the gun!  Wise choice!

She got the gun? How did I miss that? Well, good for her.

[mightysparrow]

Do they know that EVERYBODY is infected yet? 

[Maverick]

So the military has managed to clear out large swaths of LA--either by killing, imprisonment or relocation?  That's a pretty impressive feat given that, you know, the dead were rising and society was crumbling at an exponential rate.  If they could pull that off, they should have re-taken the city by now.

[Glaze Crazy]

I get the feeling that with the military in town there isn't going to be a lot of walkers yet. Looks like they are shooting every one on the streets. I expect Madison and Co. are better off inside the fences right now.  But they need to be ready when it eventually falls apart.

[nodorothyparker]

I'm sure making a person sized hole in the fence won't come back to bite anyone, pun intended.

Welcome to the mother ship "some real bad shit happened here" visuals.

Maybe they resisted the army's "help" since that one in the street had a gun.

 

Oh Nick you lying liar.

Edited September 21, 2015 by raven

[wait.what]

I think the army was killing everyone in the city, walker or human. Wonder why they didn't just kill everyone in the "neighborhood"?

[Glaze Crazy]

So I'm guessing Nick and Hector will be breaking out of the "Military" hospital after Mrs. Hector dies in there?

 

Edit: Or maybe not, if Madison tells Hector what she saw outside. Finally someone is sharing info.

Travis = Pollyanna.

[raven]

Alicia needs a job to do or something.  So does Nick for that matter. 

 

Though I did laugh at Nick trying to flirt with the doctor to explain his elevated heart rate.

[Maverick]

 Oh yes...let's create an open wound when there's an unknown contagion destroying the world.

[Nostariel]

Nick forgot to use shampoo, apparently.

 Nick thinks he's at Passages: Post-Apocalypse.   

[wait.what]

Or conditioner.

Off Topic:

I hit this by accident once.  They have wisely installed a "confirm that you actually have an issue" backup screen.

 

The neighbor's dog showed up with a four-inch fishing lure hanging off his lip, so I'm too late to add timely snark.  Sounds like they've slowed down the lightning pace, though.  Heh.

[raven]

He can hang with Daryl.

 

 

On the bright side, Ofelia won't need to mack on that skeevy soldier.

This backstory is killing me, Jesus.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Daniel dropping truth bombs.

[mightysparrow]

Oh God, what will this show be like if Daniel leaves?  He's the only character with a lick of sense.

[wait.what]

Does EVERYONE have wind chimes? And why do they keep showing them?

[mightysparrow]

And Madison just became my favourite character.

[calliope1975]

Really? We're back to the old man jacket??? 

 

Yeeesss, beat some sense into your son!

[raven]

I want Madison to smack you Nick - oops never mind!!! LOL.

 

 

 

Really? We're back to the old man jacket???

I thought that was it!  WTF Nick?? 

Edited September 21, 2015 by raven

[wait.what]

You go Madison.

[Nostariel]

Ha! Yes, go Madison!

[Glaze Crazy]

That was a well deserved smackdown Nick. But! Madison fails to follow up with some kind of description of what's outside and why he needs to get his sh!t together ASAP.

[Crone]

But junkies don't much care if you beat on them. I'll be surprised if Madison has any effect on him.
