Didn't really build much on what everone wants to know. Would have liked to know how rick got from the rv to the gate for one thing. Real filler episode.

Not really much happened apart from walkers outside the complex. Was ready for Maggie to go on an adventure, but that fizzled out too! Looks like it will be episode 7 or 8 when we find out about Glenn. Probably episode 8 at this stage!

Not much happened there, but the fence is about to collapse it seems, so there will be plenty of action soon. The worst kept secret in the show is out as well, Maggie is preggers.

Ugh. That was pointless. That was a real "farm" episode. Conversations about sod all.

Jeez, that was bad! I voted it 5, not sure why tho. You could skip straight from episode 3 to 6 and not know you missed one, let alone two.

Voted 5 as I see most people have also.

Nothing really happened at all in that episode. They will leave the cliff hanger until episode 8 with a flare going up but they will have no way out to get to the person (Was it Glenn or someone else) that fired it and it will end with that us not knowing having to wait until Feb 2016.

Fun times.

who is ron going to use the gun on?

Show seems to have lost its creativity. Its really boring now. Same settings, same boring conversations, dumb back stories etc.

Fairly pointless episode not even a thing about that wolf rusle brand they captured blah.

I don't understand all the hate for this episode. I thought twas alright. Didn't make major progress, but there were a few bits that were good.

I thought the sewer walkers crawlers were pretty well done.
Deanna going postal with the bottle was funny and messy.
Ronnie wants to shoot somebody, his mum Jessie well on the way to being the new Mrs. Grimes and Dr* Denise sharing Sapphic poetry with Tara. Wow wonder what she was looking at in Gray's.

*think she didn't finish med school due to apocalyptic conditions beyond her control, but is for all intents TWD's doctor now.

First rubbish one in a while.

Karl needs to cut that Darth Vader haircut.

can the walkers not see those people on the platforms? and why did Denna give the gate a bang to keep the walkers there longer?

The first 5 (probably the 6th and judging by the ending to this one the 7th aswell) all take place in one day.

She dropped outta med school due to suffering panic attacks. That interested her so she then become a psychiatrist instead.

To be honest it was the closest to a soap opera TWD could get 😄 The cheesy kiss. The catfight between Coral and Ron, the "shock" pregnancy announcement, the Ron gearing himself up to shoot Coral by taking lessons off Rick bit, , the kiss between Tara and Denise, the Jessie struggling to parent her kids bit with the cookies, the Spencer and his mother family argument, Spencer stealing crackers and booze from a larder (and this is meant to be a poignant moment) bit !!

Even Carol didn't even bother turning up for the episode (surely she, along with Michonne (who we got a brief glimpse of behind of) would have been in heavy negotiation with Rick rather than him off getting the shift)

Surely there should have been more than one person on guard over the night especially considering the one person on guard was a drunk Spencer.

I didn't mind too much though. But certainly not an episode that will live long in the memory

What was the blood on the fence at the very end?

I think that was a crack forming in the fence...had to rewind and check, thought it was blood too

Is it a crack or is it Spencer blood ? His mom really looked nuts earlier when she was bringing the stolen food back to the pantry, and that hitting the fence business.

The Talking Bread

It wasn't red. It was more gooey. Just a symbol of the growing force against the fence I'd imagine. If it was to symbolise Spencer fall/suicide they would have made it obviously red.

pmasterson95

Its walker blood leaking through a crack in the metal.

5starpool

I'm pretty sure it was essentially walker blood/goo seeping through a growing crack in the fence.

Sudden Valley

Pretty middling episode. A lot of soap operaish conversations and even ended with a declaration of love by Rick! The leader of the town is looking very Zomieish - she doesn't look healthy at all. And Rick's speeches are so tedious this season. this and last week's episodes are so weak.

intheclouds

Ugh, not only was the content of the episode boring and soap operish, but they didn't bother giving us any good stuff about Rick escaping from the RV.

And, worst of all, WTF?? Is Glenn bloody dead or isn't he?

This episode symbolises a lot that is wrong with this show, erratic pacing, a great cliffhanger episode full of action followed by two dull filler episodes.

It was so bad I googled Glenn's fate halfway through just because I was so impatient to know what happened, and so uninterested by what was happening onscreen.

I did like the squelchey sewer zombies tho.

sammyjo90

ok i know there are literally tonnes of walkers out there..but their gate has bars in it. could they not go all stabby stabby at those ones like they did at the prison to get rid of a few of them?

I'd say he wants to shoot Rick.

When Rick was making his speech near the beginning of the episode Ron looked to be reaching for a knife.

I thought that it could have been Spencer's blood dripping at the end on first look, with Deanna being nearby. But now not sure at all.

An episode of 'pep talks', boring.
