Ooooh- you’re right!
My first thought is that it’s because for a long time now Daryl has been Rick’s “second in command”. Now this lady has appointed Rick the Constable and Michonne his assistant …where does that leave Daryl? What is his purpose now?
AH HAH HAH HAH!!
I think it’s interesting how each group of survivors has a different name for the zombies. “Walkers”, “Biters”, “Roamers”.
I find that distracting. Why does the word “zombie” not exist in this world?
I’m sure it exists in terms of voodoo, but not in the sense of an undead shambling cannibal. It’s a necessary part of the show’s conceit that George Romero never made his Living Dead movies, nor anyone else. Similarly, all Superman and Batman movies exist in a world without DC Comics; Elementary and Sherlock both exist in worlds in which Arthur Conan Doyle never wrote detective fiction; etc.
The story line has already introduced the supports. I have no idea if the writers will ignore the supports, or make them part of the story - in the future.
Are you in possession of some inside information as to how the plot will unfold, or are these your best-guess opinions? Nothing personal, I’m just curious.
No, because when Rick gets up in the middle of the night, there is no one on watch.
He may have. The show is edited for time, and to advance the plot. Rick and Carl’s conversation probably had a lower priority than Rick’s prolonged shaving scene.
No one on watch inside the house. (But I’m not going to count the sleeping bodies on the floor to see if they’re all present.)
I didn’t notice if they showed everyone sleeping when Rick left, or if they showed the same window that Abraham was watching previously. I took it to mean they had people on watch still. If they did show it, it would have advanced the idea that they were skeptical and still on guard though which I think would have made the episode even tighter. Missed opportunity I guess but I just assumed there were folks on watch.
I thought that was very realistic: in a dangerous situation, you deal with the danger first and ask questions later. Any survivor knows that.
Yeah, what’s with the owl stuff? The necklace, the statue, and the haircut lady had an owl tattoo on her arm.
People say this all the time, but I actually don’t get it.
Why is it a necessary conceit that Romero’s or anyone else’s work doesn’t exist? It’s not necessary for vampire movies, werewolf movies, movies with witches, or any other mythical creatures. It’s just for some reason, stories about zombies refuse to use the word. It’s a conceit, but not a necessary one.
Because at various points people don’t know to shoot them in the head, think they can be cured, etc. That drama is deflated if they have the entire history of zombie fiction in their knowledge base.
I noticed too. It really should mean something. What are owls known for? Wisdom? Watchfulness? Silent killing? Haircut girl is just really into owl artwork and everybody’s got something with an owl on it by now?
Maybe everyone has an art project, which would explain Aaron’s old-fashioned film developing when they’ve got video cameras.
They wouldn’t take zombie movies as a reference.
:rolleyes:
This is true.
But what’s with “Dad! Howcome you get all the fun? Let me whack him!” ?
He doesn’t want to become “weak” like the Alexandrians.
That scene, when Coral jabbed him through the head with a rebar, rekindled my longtime TWD frustration that no one on this show, besides Michonne (well, and Daryl with his crossbow, I guess), has figured out that up close and personal is a stupid and reckless way to kill walkers. Why grab them by the throat and jab them in the temple with a penknife when you could sharpen a piece of rebar, or even a stick, and keep yourself at a distance? They did it while on fence clean-up duty at the prison, so it’s not like it hasn’t occurred to anyone.
Poetic license. It looks cool to get close up.
:rolleyes:
Why a (pointed) stick?
Maybe they were out of Fresh Fruit…
