S06.E04: Here's Not Here: Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[JackONeill]

Yes, Morgan, you're an idiot for not trying the door.

[Kryz]

Eastman is probably thrilled to have a patient.  Tabitha probably doesn't make the best conversation.

She's a baaaa-d speaker for sure

[calliope1975]

Give me the Preacher trailer because I'm developing boredom watching this episode. 

[mightysparrow]

I'm probably the only person on earth who's loving this, but I'm...LOVING THIS.  There's nothing better than watching two good actors play off each other.

[raven]

Well, it doesn't look like a wasteland (talking abou Into the Badlands preview).  Looks pretty green actually.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Badlands dude is hot!

[lulee]

I thought he said forensic psychologist. 

Pretty sure he said "psychiatrist." I remember hoping that he and Dr. Denise could set up a clinic.

[Nostariel]

I mean, there's an actual space under the cage door exactly large enough to put a food tray through. This is clearly a people cage, right? Cheesemaker was prepared for company. He's totally done this before. Cheesemaker is crazy and into human experimentation and Morgan will be brainwashed and eventually murder him, right?

[Rosiejuliemom]

I don't know if I'm totally loving it yet, but it is keeping my interest.

[candall]

So, I am going to say it only once. My daughter is a world champ in bo-staff (the weapon that Eastman is using) and while he is ok on the upper body parts (not a lot of strength or snap to his moves), his legs are horrid when he is practicing. You would not stand in a wide V with locked knees on any of those moves. You use your lower body for thrusts and to balance (with bent knees or soft knees, or lunges) and to reach while maintaining balance and gravity. My only nitpick because I know a lot about it. Ok, I will shut up now. 

No way, RHN!  Don't be modest with your bo-staff info--it's so cool you know this stuff.  Tell more!

Nope, you're not alone.  Plus a (surely doomed) goat :)  I'm enjoying it.

[riverheightsnancy]

You are probably correct. Between switching between this, the Mets and The Good Wife, I am missing stuff! 

[calliope1975]

What is this aesthetic? Ninja plantation?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Ooh Stephen Lang!

My Silver Fox Bae.

[JBody]

Jesus Morgan, if you wanted to die so badly, why didn't you off yourself while out there?

Too cowardly; I think he intimated that in Clear.

[Janimo]

I really didn't expect to like this ep, 'cause I'm not a fan of Morgan so far this season......but the episode is actually holding my interest. Go figure....

[mightysparrow]

Do something Tabitha!

[candall]

Eastman is probably thrilled to have a patient.  Tabitha probably doesn't make the best conversation.

He's so mellow.  I just keep thinking how bummed I'd be if the first live-live human who showed up to taste my cheese turned out to be a fucking nutjob.

[JackONeill]

Is this episode 90 minutes only because of the trailers?

And what's with the weird camera filter?

[raven]

Morgan has the strength of the crazy.  Seriously, he's been eating mostly tomatoes.  Broke the kid's picture, now he's pissed off Eastman.

[mightysparrow]

Oh Morgan.

[wait.what]

Morgan broke his picture. Eastman looked a little crazy there.

[lulee]

Apparently

 

Artsy-fartsy fish-eye view to show Morgan as a fish-out-of-water or something.

[mustbekarma]

Eastman is just going to die at the end of this episode, so why should I give a flying fuck about listening to him for 90 minutes?

 

To be fair, after Herschel's horrific death, I decided I wouldn't love new characters because it hurt too  much to lose the original characters. Then after Noah's horrific death, I decided even liking new characters was just not good for my soul. Now I just don't care about any new characters.

 

Can we kill Eastman so the characters can stop talking?

[Macbeth]

I didn't know nearly choking someone to death was an effective psychotherapy technique.  Eastman must have been trained by the CIA,

[MrsRafaelBarba]

C'mon guys make friends, we need the obligatory training montage.

[minamurray78]

35 minutes of this, and, not much has happened. No wonder they needed a 90 minutes ep to show off cheesemaster skills.

[Rosiejuliemom]

Oh, that's where the rabbit's foot came from.

[raven]

a shit conversationalist?  as opposed to...??

[Nashville]

"...you're a shit conversationalist..."

 

I like this guy better than Morgan already.

[jcin617]

My God this episode so far is putting me to sleep; way to kill your narrative momentum show.

Edited November 2, 2015 by jcin617

[SimoneS]

Yeah, I am a tad bored to, but the question that I have is how is this guy making so much noise along with his goat and he is not overrun by walkers?

[JackONeill]

And do some people have electricity? (Yes, I realize this is in the past. Still.)

[mightysparrow]

a shit conversationalist?  as opposed to...??

Tabitha.

[wait.what]

Akita:? dog breed

Ikea: a large store I have never been to

Maybe I should turn on the closed captioning feature.

[Rosiejuliemom]

Piece of drywall his daughter drew on, I'm guessing?

[riverheightsnancy]

No way, RHN!  Don't be modest with your bo-staff info--it's so cool you know this stuff.  Tell more!

I only know what a parent knows when their kid is heavily involved in a sport and you sit and listen to the coaches and pay for the lessons! ha  Just the little things that I remember my daughter's instructor telling her about hand placement and how to strike and then intense practices at home. There are lots of strikes and different ways to use the bostaff. Very effective weapon like Michonne's sword. More of the survivors should be taught to use them. The reason, because it lengthens your arms. Your attacker can be much farther away from you and you can still do great damage. A guy his size should be using a 6" foot staff though. You usually go about how tall you are or even a little taller. He is doing Aikedo, and my kid studied Taekwondo, so the styles could be a little different in respect to some aspects of technique though. 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Guess that Cabin has magic powers, like Herschel's farm.

For most of S2.

Producer 1: We don't have a guest for Talking Dead on Nov. 1

 

Producer 2: No problem, we'll play a 90 minute episode

 

Producer 1: We don't have a 90 minute episode

 

Producer 2: Just sell a shitload more commercial time

Sheep do - in android dreams.

[minamurray78]

"A trip where?"

 

"........................ I have no idea. Good night".

 

 

Good god.

[jay741982]

Badlands dude is hot!

The redheaded Lady was HOT!!

Aikido

[Rosiejuliemom]

I noticed he had some solar panels on the porch roof of the cabin. Probably doesn't need much juice.

[Peanut]

OMG TABITHA IS GOING TO DIE NOW, ISN'T SHE?

 

Why does this show make me yell on the computer?

[mustbekarma]

I'm probably the only person on earth who's loving this, but I'm...LOVING THIS.  There's nothing better than watching two good actors play off each other.

To be fair, I'm just not in the mood for an introspective, quiet episode. On another day, I might appreciate this.

[wait.what]

So, Morgan is just going to sit in his cage and pout all day?

[candall]

Eastman is just going to die at the end of this episode, so why should I give a flying fuck about listening to him for 90 minutes?

Love like you've never been hurt.

 

ETA:  Dance in the rain while people watch, or something like that.

how does this guy still have packaged food?

 

oh NOOOO crazy Morgan is supposed to watch Tabitha :(( 

 

we even hear a sad little goat sound :((

 

I KNEW it!!! Save her!!! Why isn't there a little goat house or something??  Ugh.

 

NM, I see the little goat house.  Needs better yard protection.

Maybe he has a generator?
