Teotwawki -- wasn't that a character in Star Trek Voyager?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

:prayer circle around Strand:

[Glaze Crazy]

I'm here, not to hate-watch. More like apathy-watch.

[nodorothyparker]

Every time Madison stares blankly, drink. We'll all be dead from alcohol poisoning by the 20 minute mark.

It's a survivalist term (thanks Google) "The End of the World As We Know It".

Oh, forget it, they just explained it on the show, LOL.

Ok, who's going to call the 800 number???

[NorthstarATL]

So they decided to make things political? I am making a Madison face and checking out. Adios.

[chick binewski]

Flashback Ruby Ridge survivalist infomercial FTW.

[Glaze Crazy]

I'm guessing, since they only showed Clinton in that "Survivalist Sale" video, these guys have been there since the '90s without cable news.

Well they're keeping it topical w/Ed Koch & Bill.

[nodorothyparker]

This is an interesting premise.  I'd say don't fuck this up but I know what show I'm watching.

No, no, come back here, Northstar Fedora.  You know those survivalists are out there--you have to wonder where they'd be ahead of the game and where they'd come up short.  I'm in.

[chick binewski]

Oh dear if I got stuck listening to survivalists talk about home schooling and the war of northern aggression I'd run open-armed to the walkers.

It won't work because it is 555. I am impressed that Jeremiah Otto was preparing for the apocalypse.

[Gobi]

Christians, they must be evil.

[mightysparrow]

Why is she still in handcuffs?  Spidey senses tingling.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Luciana is the only non white person I see.

 

Where is Strand?

[mightysparrow]

I can't believe that people interested in surviving the end of the world haven't shot Troy in the head.

Somewhere in Mexico.

Because she knows what's up.  Or they were being cautious in case she died.

Yes, Nick, always kill when you have the chance.

Is Troy hitting on Madison?

[nodorothyparker]

Christian rock? Yep, it's the end of the world.

For the first time maybe ever, Nick doesn't want to run off from his family.

[MostlyContent]

I think I'd leave the top up on that car, Strand.  :)

[mightysparrow]

Strand, thank God.

[nodorothyparker]

So scooping out his eyeball is what, foreplay to this idiot?

Has FTWD ever shown Muslims or discussed how other faiths would deal with apocalypse? There was a scene with with one of Zeke's assistants in the TWDwearing a hijab

[raven]

I think Strand can maybe kiss that pretty car goodbye,

[Glaze Crazy]

Of course he didn't "pick" Nick for the camp. Nick is competition for procreation rights. Just like any up and coming herd leader.

[candall]

Who's in cuffs?  Luciana?

 

Some survivalist must've dropped the ball on shampoo, eh, NICK?

[oakville]

Is Jeremiah a look a like to an old Paul Giammati?

[chick binewski]

Where are Strand and all his buds getting their dry cleaning done?

[oakville]

Alicia is Jewish?

Alicia is lying to get out of joining the group.  I don't think they've stated if the Clarkes have any faith, though last week Madison said she didn't believe in God.

How do you know there's no place better, Madison?  Oh, if Nick leaves with Luciana, Madison will suddenly decided the compound isn't so great after all.

[chick binewski]

Oh crap I didn't realize Spacey was hosting the Tonys. Madison - go melon-ball another eye & Strand - run around speaking in your Shakespearean voice.

Clever ruse to get out of worship services.  "Cool, old testament it is!" made me laugh.

[nodorothyparker]

Is there anything else you'd like to dictate to these people with all the guns, Madison?

[raven]

Ooh, Otto Sr used the phrase "take umbrage" .  Nice!

I did LOL when he asked Madison if she was a hard woman to like.

Could they have not played R.E.M's "End of the World as We Know It"? It might have added something...

spelling counts

[candall]

Jeremiah tumbles to the fact that Madison's a pill.

[mightysparrow]

I can't believe I'm saying it but Nick is right.  They DON'T have to stay there.  It's a big country.  There must be hundreds of places for people to hole up without having to join a fucking cult.  It's clear that Troy is a very dangerous man who is fixated on Maddie.  Is she going to wait until he rapes her or her daughter or kills Luciana because she's not of 'pure blood'.  Get the hell out of there, you stupid bitch.

I didn't think the Clarkes were Jewish. This place doesn't seem so bad. It's pretty well stockpiled & looks remote enough to avoid Walkers & outside enemies.

[MostlyContent]

Weird old videos reminds me of Lost. Not exactly a good thing.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Time to put Old Yeller down.

[Red Fields]

How is his eye not a festering mess?

What a riot!

[chick binewski]

LOVING bible study.

[mightysparrow]

Is Troy's purpose to make sure Nick isn't the most annoying male character on this show.  Because, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[Glaze Crazy]

This is going to go down ala Cain and Abel, isn't it?

[raven]

OK, this is funny.   Bong Bible Study for all!!

I don't like Nick. He makes bad decisions. He got his group from Mexico killed.

A bong!  Love it!

This place isn't welcoming to everyone, that's a problem
