Enid was 8 months. They said it took her a few weeks to say anything. ---

> [@solost](#): > > …Hey, did anybody wonder just how skinny that “skin off his back zombie” must be in real life to still look so skinny with all the makeup on? They showed a behind the scenes view with that zombie extra on Talking Dead, as well as the woman who played Tara talking about how they used all this stuff like raw chicken to get the look. He had a fake spine and ribs, then tear-off skin on top of that, as well as fake torn-up putrefied flesh makeup on his arms, and he still looked like Iggy Pop. I noticed that too. I also noticed that those in charge of the TD will gladly point out that a particular extra (zombie) has played a previous zombie part (in this case, skinny zombie guy also killed Dale) but they don’t mention their names or show us what they look like in real life. It would be nice of them to throw a little bit of credit and recognition to those people who spend hours in makeup prep and are usually covered with gross concoctions. ---

Nu > [@doorhinge](#): > > How long do you think it would take Sgt. Abraham Ford to get Aidan’s head straightened out? Or his spending a few weeks patrolling with Rosita, Carl, and Tara? Aidan appears to be trainable. Of course, Aidan would lord over Eugene and Gabriel. No, he wouldn’t. Before the reveal, Abraham wouldn’t have allowed Aidan to abuse Eugene. After the reveal, Tara wouldn’t have. No one cares what happens to Fuckwit Gabriel, of course, except abstractly. ETA: Oh, and Sgt. Ford would never straighten out Aidan. He’d have kicked him to the curb the first time his assholery endangered Eugene or Rosita. ---

> [@Bone](#): > > Enid was 8 months. They said it took her a few weeks to say anything. I initially heard “a few months ago” too. I just re-listened several times. And you are right, he did say “8 months.” But I had to crank up the volume to hear it clearly. That does seem like a long time for her to be undercover. But maybe they are waiting for her to find something specific? Or maybe she escaped from the other group and now misses them and has re-established contact? I guess we’ll find out in the coming weeks… ---

I doubt Enid is undercover. That’s much too clever a plot for the show - it doesn’t fit anything that’s come before. She likely just goes into the woods because she’s having a hard time adjusting. I expect she has Rick’s gun. I watch with subtitles - so I tend to get the exact text of what they say. ---

What if Enid came in 8 months ago, with 3 other guys. Then, a couple of weeks ago, the rest of them got exiled, but she was allowed to stay, because she’s just a kid. And now she is the inside man for their eventual attempt to take over. The show runs on people not sharing important information, so why not? ---

So Enid scales the high high wall and scrambles over in broad daylight, invisible to anyone living inside the compound? Carl is the only one to spot her doing this? It’s hard to believe she’s been there for 8 months and DOING THIS. Hello. No one around during the day? “Hey, where are you going?” Don’t tell me this just started, either. ---

Maybe they do know she does it. Technically, I don’t think there’s a rule you can’t go outside if you want. Maybe it’s different for kids though. ---

> [@levdrakon](#): > > “Enid just came a few months ago,” is what I heard. That’s a long time to be casing the place, and if her mission is to fit in, she’s doing a really crappy job. Depends. She’s doing a great job of a “teenager fitting in”, if not so great a job of an “adult fitting in”. 🙂 ---
