I'm going to go out on a limb and predict something completely unexpected. Madison will change her expression. Which raises the question: How valuable is botox in the Zombie Apocalypse?

[raven]

Two decent eps in a row - not sure what to think about this one?  Will it be good, bad, in the middle??

[MrsRafaelBarba]

The Ranch folks return tonight, ugh.

Martha's looking for FRESH MEAT!

o hahaha at the false teeth in the glass!

ok, old fella, you didn't plan that out as well as you thought you did.

[candall]

Three seconds in and I'm already confused.  Who was that dancing under the porchlight?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Oh shit, old lady died and turned.

[candall]

Oh.  Never mind.

They were the couple Nick saw dancing together, back in E3.

[raven]

That Alicia, so dedicated to her bible study.

C'mon, these are preppers, they should have a plan for fire.

OK, Let 'em burn is the plan.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

The elderly are ticking time bombs in the ZA.

[chick binewski]

Not that I'm already irritated with Nick or anything but his dad is staring in s2 of The Tunnel tonight on PBS. So good.

[candall]

Someone tell me when "Michael Greyeyes" comes on.  What a great name!

[raven]

Strand, don't be lecturing Daniel.  Probably best to stop lying too.

[chick binewski]

But the Jag! Zombies: this is why we can't have nice things.

It's the first time in this series I recall that the scenario of someone dying in the middle night attacks their spouse. I understand why the old man decided to commit suicide.

Oh I do too. I just don't think that starting a fire was part of his plan.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

I really miss Travis.

[candall]

In the whole list of bad zombie apocalypse ideas, a convertible Jag must rank pretty high.

[mightysparrow]

What the fuck does Alicia mean by she was 'normal'?  She was dating a drug dealer!

And why is Madison acting all badass?  SHE was a high school guidance counsellor!

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Oh prison walkers, y'all had one job.

[Gobi]

Why did they waste their time and risk their lives for that?

[raven]

I approve of Alicia's plan to combat her PTSD by getting high and getting laid.

I guess you don't need two good eyes to fight zombies?

[calliope1975]

Too bad Chris died. I bet he'd like this new crew.

The drug dealer was   Nick's friend.

Not the same guy.

Troy feared those walkers would eventually migrate over to the compound.

The prison walkers could have been heros but no, they couldn't manage to eat Stoneface.

I know when I set out to seduce someone I like wear my best stained shirt too.

That's right.  Her boyfriend actually was a very nice guy.  Black people are so few on this show that I'm getting them confused.

[candall]

Ha, the only thing I remember about Alicia from "the early days" is that she dragged her long hair through the blood on the floor she was swabbing up.

[chick binewski]

Oh good he put notes in the margins. Douche.

[candall]

Okay, I would balk at scrubbing the walls in the ZA.

She had just gotten accepted to college I think.

I want more of Daniel and Strand sniping at each other please.

[Gobi]

All right, Madison remembered her dead husband

[chick binewski]

Well Madison remembered Travis' name at least.

[mightysparrow]

Clearly Madison has attended the 'Carol Pelletier Over-Night School of ZA Badassery'.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Yup.

 

She was planning to study Art.

 

Please get an Eye patch Troy.

[candall]

So the mysterious band of marauders who shot at the helicopter have hauled the helicopter away?  Is that where we stand?  Zzzzz.  It's half over--PICK IT UP, SHOW.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Road Trip!!!

[nodorothyparker]

I'm rather enjoying Daniel and Strand's bitchy road trip.

[Gobi]

Strand and Daniel go to White Castle!

[raven]

Is this actual kind of straight talk between Otto and Nick?  Just saying what they think?

Wait, Troy was locked in the basement and they forgot him?  Parents of the year, I say.

[nodorothyparker]

Story time of abusing the kids with Otto.

[calliope1975]

Nick should want a shower.

[raven]

You know Troy practices those hand signals in the mirror.

[Gobi]

Did Madison seriously say "An eye for an eye" to Troy?

[raven]

I smell dead people!

Really??  LOL I missed that and OMG this is way gross with the brain eating.

Guess no one was watching their sixty or whatever you call it.

[chick binewski]

That's unfortunate.

[katycat74]

wtf!

[candall]

Hello.  Mr. Greyeyes is hot.

[Gobi]

I guess somebody liked the movie Hannibal.
