S02.E04: Blood on the Streets - Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[minamurray78]

OK, where the fuck is Nick? What is going on? Are blood and guts this season's old man clothes? WHAT?

[SoSueMe]

Nope not a dream. Just Nick's clever reconnaissance technique.

I think Alicia is going to die this episode.

Let's hope so

[Armchair Critic]

Jack looks like Michael Pitt in the movie Murder By Numbers

[mightysparrow]

And Nick is just wandering around, covered in blood.  What kind of fuckery is this?

[phalange]

I am so confused. Why is Nick wandering around on land by himself? Although considering what's going on on the boat, he's probably better off.

[Janimo]

I have no idea what I'm watching or what they're doing. What a horrendously hysterical clusterfuck. I'm lmao.

[candall]

Wait, what?

 

Strand is shot and in the water?  When did that happen?  I thought he was setting up his sniper rifle position somewhere.

 

What did Nick's paper say?  Why was his ear so clean?

[JackONeill]

Maybe the writers gave up trying to write a coherent script.

I think that the pirates come from that island. Of ocurse, Nick would not know that, but maybe he is looking for something to get back to the yacht with and weapons? 

[Red Fields]

Looks like Nick has worked out while on the boat. Wasn't he scrawnier last season?

[mightysparrow]

I'm so confused, I thought the Navy commercial was part of the show.

[Maverick]

So now we're going to have 'Connor' teased for half a season?  Does he carry a fishing rod wrapped in really old, frayed mooring rope to beat people to death with?  The world's been gone for what?  A couple of weeks tops.  How did this group get organized so quickly?  Are these refugees from some maufacturing consulting firm that are using six sigma to streamline the turning into asshole killers who thieve, pillage and plunder process?

[MostlyContent]

If Nick is trying to save everyone, he's certainly very casual about the whole thing.   :)

[Janimo]

Hoo boy. I'm wondering what Yvette Nicole Brown is gonna say tonight on Talking Dead.

Well, we're even because I thought the Strand flashback was a scotch commercial.

[NorthstarATL]

Abigail! The name of the boat!

[JackONeill]

Oh, great, more characters I'll wind up not giving a shit about.

Good catch!

[riverheightsnancy]

Did they say Abigail, I missed it.

I'm hoping against hope that she will cut loose and call it like it is ... 

[TVFan17]

More than 30 minutes into this episode and I still understand very little of what is happening.

[minamurray78]

Well, there goes the sat phone, it does not look good for Strand, the one character who seemed to have his shit in order, till he invited CDB 2.0 on his boatride.

[NorthstarATL]

I want all these three to die horribly. Does that make me a bad person?

[candall]

Who's playing the suave bad guy?  He's almost too famous for FTWD.

[MostlyContent]

"What is this, my shower?"  ha

[Armchair Critic]

Is the actress that bad or is Maddie just a monotone? She sucks

[Peanut]

Is Travis going to totally fuck up the boat in his effort to fake this guy out?

[TVFan17]

I would not care at all if this pregnant chick fell overboard.

[mightysparrow]

Dougray Scott.  The man who was almost Aragorn.

[minamurray78]

Can you hot wire a boat??

[calliope1975]

So if Strand does have the key, and if no one on the boat could hot wire it, what would've happened? OMG I am already OVER Connor. This whole storyline better be over tonight. I seriously doubt Connor is a Jeffrey Dean Morgan clone which is the only thing that might redeem this.

That would be too smart for these people.

[riverheightsnancy]

I think Travis is going to attack this guy when he gets a chance.

He reminds me of Dougray Scott, but I don't think it's him.

ETA: Sees comment above. Guess I was right!

[JackONeill]

Are all hostages this calm to initiate conversations with someone holding a gun? I'd be peeing in my pants.

[NorthstarATL]

PLEASE be playing him, Alicia!

[SoSueMe]

Found each other for a reason????? 

This is crazy wrong.

[mightysparrow]

God, I hate Alicia.  And I hate Maddie twice as much now because she's Alicia's mother.

[calliope1975]

Haaahahah, Nick to the rescue!

[candall]

Oh good.  Alicia's determined to get to the bottom of exactly HOW MUCH this guy was lying to her.  Because. . . the dating pool has recently drained?

[Red Fields]

Just now, NorthstarATL said:

She is.

[Maverick]

This episode is about Alicia's redemption.  Either she is totally playing this dude and is going to stab him in the neck, in which case she'll have proven she's woken the fuck up and got a clue or she's totally legit with this crap and she is beyond redeemable.   

[riverheightsnancy]

OMG Nick. Playing basketball. lol.  What the hell? 

[NorthstarATL]

Finally! The stories come together!

[Peanut]

WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS SHOW?

[JackONeill]

Is this Baja?

i think Strand sent Nick ahead. But we wouldn't know that since the writers can't write worth shit.

[minamurray78]

Ok, Nick is in a completely different plane of reality, like, doing his own thing and not giving a shit about his relatives???? or what????
 when ?? how??

[Janimo]

Oh, gawd. I am groaning and laughing through this AWFUL, AWFUL episode. The only one I remotely find half-way interesting tonight is Nick, and that's not saying much. Jeez......

If you come up with an answer let me know because I'm asking the same question.
