Conflict arises as the Abigail approaches its destination; Chris makes a staggering decision.

Mercedes Mason, Jim Gaffigan and Tamera Mowry-Housley are on Talking Dead. For greater clarity the open spoilers warning includes everything that airs on Talking Dead; including any previews.
I got Madison again in the Story Sync (5 out of 6 so far). As for Celia, at least Hershel didn’t go around poising communion wafers; they need to either kill this woman now or get back to the Abigail and sail as far away from here as possible. :eek:
I have to say that not being one of the walking dead comic reader, I am actually beginning to enjoy this show more than the original.
The first season was only meh to me but it has gotten much better and TWD is starting to bore me. I don’t want to watch a show where zombies are just a backdrop to your human drama instead of a thing you must fear. I’m not at all into watching two societies warring and just being careful not to get bitten by the props while they do it.
Another huge thingis that there is no main character that must not die like Rick and Carl can’t die. It keeps the story fresh to me. I say good job to the creators of this show so far.
My question is why did Celia poison the parishioners? And how did Daniel suddenly figure this out?
Other than that I thought this was the best episode of the season. We’re finally getting to see some storyline development.
What kind of poison makes your eyes bleed?
I think I’ll agree that there has been an upturn in quality of late, although for me the “walkers in the cellar” plotline is a bit too close to stuff we’ve already seen at Herschel’s Farm in the main series.
I was also thinking, “is an area perhaps controlled by insanely violent drug cartels the best place to go in a zombie apocalypse?” I guess the cartels aren’t really active in that part of Baja.
At least they’re off the damn boat for a while.
The Strand character has actually has made me care about him, dammit.
After loathing him at first, I find I’m also kind of enjoying Nick the Junkie’s fearless, insouciant attitude, although he seems a bit mature to be letting himself get pushed around by Maddie.
Ruben Blades’ work as Daniel is praiseworthy as well.
Lastly (and shallowly), having seen her all cleaned up on “Talking Dead” last night, not too sure about her personality, but holy crap is Mercedes Mason (Ofelia) gorgeous.
Snake venom, but I don’t think it will work if eaten.
TETS, "a nurotoxin found in rat poison.
A huge roll-eyes for the recycled plot line of “our heroes finally find sanctuary, only to learn that the proprietor thinks Walkers are still alive in some sense and is storing them in a secret area”. But I agree it’s a big plus they’re off the boat. Maybe I’m just cold hearted, but I can’t get interested in the love affair between Stark and Tom (?). We just don’t know enough about Tom for him to matter. Chris continues to be dumber than a box of nails.
Big question: Wa the kid seen in Daniel’s flashback him, or was he the guy strangling the kid?
So she might have been performing a TETS offensive?
Throw DP in with the Walkers!!! 
Yeah, so, um… *that *bitch is crazy. I wonder at what point Strand knew and what was going on there, and decided what he was going to do about it. And what they’re going to do now. There are supposed to be armed guards, apparently. They’re on the side of the people Strand just pissed off.
Meanwhile, apparently Bland Son is now also koo-koo for coco puffs. From this episode, the impression you get is that he wants to eliminate his step-family. He was troubled by his mother’s death, but otherwise we’ve seen no sign that this was his malfunction. It throws off my previous attempt to make sense of his character. Is it because I missed the clues, or because the writers are making shit up as they go along? So, he wants to build the courage to kill not to help the other survive but because he wants to use that grit to kill his sister and mom?
And am I to understand that the crowd of parishioners were taking up arms not because the safety of the walls was being denied to them, but because crazy grandma was hoarding zombies? I’m glad somebody managed to object. I’m curious about the mechanics of administering the Flavorless Colorless Poison Unknown to Toxicology featuring instant death with an onset time of one eucharist. Is crazy grandma the local source for host? Did she sneak into the village, or send somebody?
I was impressed with her, as well. She’s quite beautiful
The parishioners were armed themselves and were about to storm the compound to destroy the undead she was harbouring. Thomas went out on a last ditch attempt to warn them, but it didn’t realize it was too late until everyone’s eyes started bleeding. I assume Daniel figured this out because he’s familiar with the poison she used. Also didn’t she have some of the communion wafers in the kitchen? That’s a really strange thing for someone to have stocked in their pantry.
How did you figure that out? :dubious:
From what they said.
Did I miss something? Was it revealed why the parishioners were poisoned?
They were gearing up to go fight someone, from what we learned later in the episode it is fair to assume they were going to put down the zombies that Celia is keeping so she poisoned them.
I’ll watch it again. :dubious:
Agreed. First, I was hoping that this series would concentrate on the “official” story about the breakdown of the government and how the virus spread and so forth. I didn’t want to see another group of scrappy survivors cut off from the world.
Further, the walkers just don’t seem that scary anymore. How did they take over the whole world against powerful militaries when five people with knives can dispatch a horde of them?
Salazar more-or-less told Celia he realized she had poisoned the parishioners, and Celia then told him that they’re the ones who actually killed them (because she believes the walking dead are just in another phase of life).
I don’t understand Celia’s status. Isn’t Daniel the actual Abigail and so shouldn’t he be in charge? So why does she seem to be in charge?
