If I were there and had all that heavy equipment nearby, I would be digging moats. Let the moats fill with walkers then kill them at leisure.
Or, if you want to eliminate as many as possible before they ever get to your walls, dig some zombie pits away from your compound, with noise as bait. As the pits fill up, kill the zombies, bury them, dig a new pit.
Now, they don’t have to do these exact things to make me happy. But they should be thinking of doing something to reduce the zombie population in their vicinity. The fact that they never think or talk about this sort of strategic planning sort of bugs me.
I find it interesting that cookie-loving Sam wasn’t terrified by Carol’s grim fairy tale. Instead, she seems to be the answer to his prayers???
Carol believes Pete is hitting Sam, and maybe hitting Jessie. Maybe there’s a child molester in Alexandria? And there’s Sam’s older brother Ron to consider. Whatever is happening in that family makes Carol’s story pale in comparison. :eek:
I think the writers took a chance and did something cool with Scarol. Next week they woke up and said “whoa, let’s dial it back and Disneyfy Carol.” Bake cookies. Make the man evil!
The music they were playing in the van wasn’t loud at all once they closed the doors. And it had a purpose in luring the Walkers away from the revolving door of death.
“And a miracle happens” explains how Glen got out of the RDoD. Sloppy writing there.
Deanna, and the Alexandria leadership (her husband Spencer?, Aaron?), appear to talk things over before making any decision, and they are willing to make adjustments, if the changes make sense. Which is a good thing. No decision had been reached concerning Gabriel’s warning, but that may change, off-screen, before next weeks show. Or Maggie may get a few lines in order to clear up any doubts?
AFAIK, Nicholas is Aiden’s friend, and not related to Deanna or Spencer.
Well of course Deanna is not going to discuss this with Maggie. The LOST-like level of non-discussion on TWD drives me batty.
Besides, she’s a politician. Unless there is money involved to sway her opinion, she’s going to stick with whatever dogma she believes in rather than analyze the facts.
Yeah, and what happened to those walkers, anyway? I was kind of expecting Eugene to lead them away, then slam the van into reverse, crush a few, roll forward again, reverse, crush, repeat…
For that matter, why didn’t they circle the perimeter IN THE VAN when they first arrived? They’d have seen the crowd at the front doors and eliminated it with ease under controlled conditions. The continued tactical stupidity of the writing of these characters, even for the ostensibly hardened Rick’s group, is long past annoying. I’m starting to root for the walkers.
That’s why Aaron has to keep going out and looking for more people.
Also “Take the Browns to the Superbowl”.
I don’t know how Maggie was able to listen to Gabriel spout off without losing her shit. How many times did they save that dipshit’s life? And she’s the one with the most problem about him locking out the people at the church.
That kid Sam is creepy. I think Carol is afraid to feel anything towards him because look what happened to the last kids she mothered - her own got zombiefied and well, Lizzie & Mika.
Huh? They’ve apparently been consistently losing people and she put all the wrong people in charge prior to Rick’s group arriving. Then she put Rick’s people in positions of power, which is also a mistake in terms of not knowing them well enough yet though it is correct in terms of them being more able to do the jobs they took. Plus, the idea of needing a constable in this situation seems ludicrous. The idea is that the constable for such a small group needs a uniform is even more ludicrous even if we give them the benefit of the doubt on needing a constable.
She has also said they don’t need sentries, they don’t need weapons inside the walls, and kept the weapons locked up.
It’s all idiocy given the supposed situation where they may need to fight at any moment.
She is the opposite of smart and competent given the situation they are in.
I got that Drunk Doc is a little off, what with him stumbling around and drinking and telling Rick they should be friends, but did they leave clues about him beating his wife? I missed that
That the doctor beats his wife is Carol’s take on the situation, based on her own experiences (and thus biases). The fact that she immediately went to “So we’ll have to kill him” shows that she’s not right in the head.
Carol’s uber-sinister threat made me sit up and take notice. Sam seems to have taken it in stride. I assume that means that Sam has experienced similar, or worse, threats in the past.
