Madison, Strand and others move forward after the compound falls; Nick gets picked for a dangerous assignment.

Well at least it looks like we’ll get to see what’s up with the rest of the group tonight. Colman Domingo, Kim Dickens, & Ethan Embry are on Talking Dead. Also I just got my flu shot yesterday. 
I’m Alicia this week, so still alive. So do you think Alejandro was really bitten by a zombie? It would be an extremely huge, game changing development for the TWD universe if it’s true, so I’m guessing know. Either he’s a charlatan passing off an animal bite, or there’s a slim chance he was bitten why what he thought was a zombie, but was really just an deranged non-infected human. Also did the zombies getting up after falling of the balconies bother anyone else? :dubious: Most of them should have broken necks and be completely unable to move; the lucky ones would still have enough broken bones to be reduced to dragging themselves along. Yet they all seemed to be able to get right up again without being any worse for wear.
My husband was annoyed by the zombies that got up and walked too. I thought the dropping part was really creepy.
Getting drunk and plying piano? Makes our Atlanta folks look brilliant!
The Doctor (excuse me, pharmacist) reminds me of the chainsaw-wielding Colombian in Scarface.
Well, I wasn’t surprised that the zombies got back up again after falling off the balconies. I thought it was a nice touch- zombies don’t feel pain, so a broken bone won’t necessarily stop them. They even seem impervious to spinal cord injuries. OTOH, it would have been nice to see one walker so broken from the fall that it could not get up, but only flop around.
I wonder if Nick is falling under the spell of that preacher dude, or just faking it to fit in. He did a nice job scoring some groceries and having some compassion on people, but then again it looks like you never know what this guy is going to do next, so joining a cult might just be the next plot point. At some point him and his new group just Have to encounter his old family.
I think the show is showing a lot more direction all of a sudden, with the loss of the Abigail and the end of the walk to Tijuana. I am sure I will tune in again next week…
They cased out the hotel and there was no movement. For some reason the hot water is still working. Suddenly it’s raining zombies. Why? All the zombies would have tossed themselves off balconies by now.
Bummer about Abigail, but of course we can’t have nice things.
Where’s step-dad? I can’t remember except he was chasing his stupid son around.
The “getting drunk and playing piano” scene was annoying to watch. I guess I should be more accustomed to “the stupid” by now, but still… so utterly dumb!
And the zombies shouldn’t be getting up after a taking a tumble like that!
Oh, and how great that Nick could use his super-duper druggie knowledge to get himself out of a sticky situation with the drug dealers?
I gotta admit, that was neat!
I honestly have no idea why I still watch this show. I think the writers decided to find the stupidest action possible for the characters to end up in another zombie attack and “get them drunk and banging on a piano” was the winner.
The zombies falling from the balconies was creepy and a nice touch we’ve not seen before. The zombies getting back up and walking was just unbelievable and ruined the one bright spot the show came up with this episode. The zombies may be dead but they still have bones which break, knees/legs/arms that would dislocate, spines and discs that would rupture, skulls that fracture. They would not be getting back up and walking.
At least Walking Dead has a big bad every season and the story generally goes somewhere. This show seems to wander around as aimlessly as the zombies, and they don’t have many episodes left.
It should be interesting to see how this “zombie-bitten pharmacist-turned-cult-leader” theme plays out.
They seem to be following the general plot of Walking Dead: Rick and company find a nice place with nice people. Bad guys attack. Zombies run amuck, joint catches on fire. Our Heroes become separated and we have shows that focus on individual characters who eat worms and thwart zombies. They get back together, and find a nice place…
You’ve nailed it. Colonia will burn.
I’m tired of seeing villages burn, wow about one floods for a change?
I think the first show had an advantage of having good stories already laid out in the books and they could make small changes and additions. This new one doesn’t seem they have a story they want to tell. In addition, they keep showcasing and pushing people that I don’t care about. Don’t care about some nutty addict and the more they keep pushing him, the less I care about the show.
How about:
Drug Dealer Guy: OK, senorita. You got oxy? I’m going to hold your gringo friend here hostage and you’re going to bring me all the oxy you got if you want to see him alive again!!
I like Nick and anyway, it seems obvious he is the main character in the show. The actor seems like a sort of Johnny Depp for a new generation, tho even if this actor doesn’t live up to all that, he still slips the display of a lot of attitude into a show about zombies.
Look. The guy walks 100s of miles smeared in blood. He makes it to Tijuana, he makes friends, gets some context, finds a degree of stability in a world gone mad. Then he gets called out for not having any faith. Um, what was the walk to Tijuana? Anyway, now he is interested in this crazy post apocalypse preacher who maybe got bit by a walker, maybe not, but either way I think Nick can at least relate to the message- we come out of death, but we’re not going back! We’re special!
Meanwhile, the people he left behind are sort of acting like morons and all but getting themselves killed. They are in hostile relations with the walkers. They’re drunk and making random noise. They can’t keep their families together, they can’t even keep track of their friends when they are exploring the creepy zombie hotel. In the frickin’ apocalypse,* they lost their boat*!
Once in a while, doesn’t a guy have to have some faith in himself and just walk away from people who act predictably stupid just to prevent the ruination of his own life?
‘OK, you can keep him.’
Zombies I can relate to. I’d no doubt fall on the “kill 'em all” side, but I could deal.
What I don’t get is how anybody could get hooked on Oxy. That shit makes me so sick I’d walk out the back of that bus to get away from the Oxy.
