Yeah, that was the puzzler I guess. It was hardly there from years before? Did that girl kid mark the houses for the invading crazies?

Actually scratch that, someone said here that next weeks episode is 90 minutes long so, the walkers will def be making hay in Alexandria. We are still overdue a Morgan recap

I don't find Morgan that interesting TBH, I hope not.
They seem to have free reign on episode length this season? Makes a nice change that they can tell the story more or less as they like.

The 'A' was from the hand stamp that Jessie's kid was using back at the party, no?

Last half of previous season up to now have been great.
Keep up the good work.
Nearly at season 1 standards again!

Is anything in the discussion between Karl and the girl, where she mentioned there were lots of hiding places in the compound and then said something like "that's how we..." but didn't finish the sentence. Only for the fact the group are so weak I would think they took the compound from the wolves? possibly they took it with the wolves help and then someone got them out.

I think one of the wolves said something like "you don't belong here", but they seems kind of crazy so maybe they are killing all humans in some twisted ideal that the world now belongs to the walkers.

I think she said something along the lines of "there are too many blind spots, that's how we..." -talking about when her and Carl snuck out.

It looked like it was in fresh blood so that's why I was thinking was it a map or some guide for the wolves, maybe not

Sam was sitting on carols porch holding the stamp at the start of the episode.

Loved the whole "smoking is going to kill you" thing, which is pretty much what got her killed :pac:.

Jessie's youngest son had the stamp in his hand when he was sitting on Carol's porch (and Carol gave one of her pep talks)

This was the same stamp that he put on Rick the night of the party, and when Rick walked past the happy Family all showing their "A" Stamp.

Jaysus lads I wonder sometimes do ye be watching the show at all :pac:

Yep, unfortunately I think people are reading all manner into this conversation and thinking it meant something about Enid working with the Wolves.

Bear in mind Enid already has a fella, so maybe Karl isn't too comfortable talking about them sneaking out, maybe he wanted to concentrate instead on protecting his baby sister from the machette wielding maniacs outside, or maybe he's just not good at the whole girlfriend thing having spent puberty stabbing his mother in the head, killing a Woodbury resident at point blank range or fending off a hairy rapist and watching his dad go at said rapist like you would do the plastic film on the top of a microwaveable meal.

yes this. Why bother focussing on it then? Also like Enid with the bunch of keys, it just rose suspicion for me. why show it if we're not to take something from it?

Didn't she say something along the lines of 'I'm leaving & I won't need these [keys] anymore''

It was just a four minute backstory of a mysterious girl....that's all. The walking dead is about telling tales of survival.

I know they're slow n all, but eating a tortoise with your bare hands is pretty f**king badass. Wolves usually give up!

I know season 1 was great but I think people go overboard about it sometimes and don't put it in perspective.

The thing is it was the first season & the whole introduction to these vicious walkers had a bigger impact and now that we are accustomed to them and they don't shock us as much anymore. Also we were only getting to know characters and the survivors were only accustoming themselves to the new world so emotion and death had a bigger impact. Less characters to accomodate also so we get a better insight into their personalities during episodes. The city action also helped.

I don't think you can compare later seasons on a lot of aspects to that pilot season to be honest for such reasons.

Also there were only bloody 6 episodes. We now have almost 3 times the amount of episodes during a season so it is expected later seasons episodes are to be comparatively slower & there is going to be a lower amount of drama during the episodes and more build up to big events.

My favourite season ranking

Hopefully Ron dies soon. Any character who is too petulant to try for safety in the middle of middle of a raid by deranged psychopaths just because a girl he likes is in the same house as another boy his age doesn't deserve to live. Hopefully the herd will eat him or something.

Another bit annoyed me to hell. Guy in tower taking (awful) pot shots at bad guys. Then when he gets down he's too chicken to do anything? Maggie should've at least smacked him in the mouth and taken the AR15...

credit to Ron, without him they wouldnt have come across the quarry and the truck would've collapsed unbeknownst to them.

Also you cant blame him for wanting to know where his da was buried!

But yeah, he is an annoying kid!!

Last season I was convinced the town walls were like Fort Knox (although the supports were on the outside, which made no sense) but this season they look like papier mache some kids threw together. Last season's fence and those walkers are no problem!

No, they heard the walkers in the quarry where they were debating whether to bury the father (like Morgan wanted) or not (like Rick wanted). They only saw Ron at the top of the quarry when he was being chased by some walkers, so he wasn't even useful for that. He's just another idiotic teenager which seems to be a specialty of FTWD, but has a few members on the main show too.

Ah I thought I remembered them hearing Ron getting chased and thats how they found him at the quarry cliff.

No, they heard the moaning from where they were. I'm not sure why they needed to go that far away with the body in the first place, but that's besides the point.

Probably 1 and 1/2 years at most. Season one was only a week long for example. We meet Rick 60 days into outbreak.

I think the episode when Abraham beat the cr*p out of Eugene was circa 500 days since outbreak or something and the remaining episodes are only over the period of a few weeks

Good episode I thought. Truck must be full of walkers, why else try drive it into the wall when all the other wolves were already inside?

Not only that but at the town meeting when discussing the quarry did one of the Alexandrians not say they knew about it when they were out searching for supplies etc , think it might have been the new dude with the cool hair

It usually runs through the episode and discusses various talking points. Good watch if you get the chance.

Was it just me or was Maggie's accent far stronger (more Southern) in this episode? It was annoying me every time she spoke!

Noticed it too. It seems to go in and out.

Yeah, she does seem to 'chew' on her words a bit, if that makes sense....it's always bugged me a bit tbh.

Best thing I've seen all day! :P
Also didn't get the JSS stuff, hoping it's explained later.
Same for the stamp that looked like blood, it just seems so... unimportant to focus in on if that's all it is!

JSS stands for "Just Survive Somehow". Enid wrote it on the note she left for Carl. It's a mantra she kept telling herself while she was roaming around alone.
