He looked a bit goofy, that’s for sure! I laughed, as well.
Did they show Judith in color? I think she has been recast. Is Gabriel ok now after his big confession? Quarry, why did it have to be a quarry? If Morgan smiled and gave Rick a thumbs up I would stroke out.
I blame Snowboarder Bo
Loved the episode, loved the use of B&W to show “flashbacks” (not very far back).
That’s what I thought as well, but it could also be Father Gabriel. Someone should’ve thrown him in the quarry.
Eugene’s mullet is now its own character.
Loved the throwaway funny lines. Michonne’s line about “you always think there’s another peanut butter” [protein bar] was perfect.
ETA: It was a suspension of disbelief, but I dug the zombie parade. Also, the idea of a zombie parade.
Loved it - way intense, full of action and lots of walkers!
I don’t see how they could just “fire bomb” the quarry. First of all, with what? Do they have fighter jets stored somewhere? Secondly, setting them on fire doesn’t kill them.
I was digging the black and white flash backs. Something new to keep the storyline fresh.
As for the horn, my first thought was Ron.
I really want to watch that old episode now to see if she took it or not. The best part about that scene was that Morgan seemed genuinely upset about his protein bar.
Judith has certainly been recast. In story, only a few weeks have passed since the end of last season, and babies grow quickly.
They referenced it in the story sync online. She did take the protein bar, and when Rick gave her a look for taking it, Michonne said, “Sign said ‘Welcome.’” (If I recall, the welcome mat was the one that triggered the first booby trap). I think she later shared it with Carl.
Firebombing the quarry wouldn’t work unless they had a hell of a lot of gasoline or some fuel air explosives. Too durn many zombies. Fire will kill them or incapacitate them, but not quickly, and I’d think they need to conserve their magic gasoline which never seems to go bad.
(Sorry… just nitpickin’. MY gasoline goes bad if I leave it in the garage all winter, and then it makes the mower cough and malfunction…)
I’d be surprised if the hornblower was Father Gabriel. He seems to be working on redemption. Either that, or the Wolves are attacking and he’s calling for help, without thinking of the consequences. Which would be in character for him. I’m gambling on him being the Next Dead Black Guy, and for once I’m rooting for him to get et…
I, too, am a bit confused about how they were going to “fire bomb” the quarry. That’s a pretty big quarry.
The problem was that the zombies got loose literally as everyone showed up at the quarry, so at that point Rick’s solution was conveniently the only viable alternative. Given time fortifying the gates and slowly whittling down the zombie horde would probably have been much better than simply letting them all loose and hoping they kept walking and became someone else’s problem.
They must have used a lot of gasoline moving all those cars into place. I also wondered why Michonne chose a beater that looked like it might conk out at any moment with all those other cars available.
It was very lucky for Eugene that Rick and company were going house to house and barging into each front door and happened to come into that house at that moment.
I assumed they heard all the crashing. Eugene made a hell of a racket.
I thought the plan to clear out the quarry was just a bad idea from the get-go. I mean, the entire reason Alexandria is safe is because that quarry has been hoovering up the herds. If you get them out of there, all you’re doing is putting them back in the wild and taking the chance that they won’t come back and literally bite you in the ass. Just fortify the exits on the damn thing and let it keep protecting you.
I did find it amusing that they built the new walls with the braces on the correct side. Every time they show the wall around Alexandria I just cringe.
I was pretty happy to see Ethan Embry in the cast- he’s always been one of my favorite actors. And then he died like a little bitch…
That was exactly my thought!
I found this episode to be highly entertaining. Make a plan, try to impliment the plan, adjust the plan as needed. Adapt and overcome.
Resorting to black and white for flashbacks was certainly less distracting than those vertical wavy lines TV shows used to use.
Do do do do.
Do do do do.
Do do do do.
(And it was probably easier for the editors to differentiate past from present.)
My guess is that the Wolves sounded the horn. They have experience collecting and moving walkers with sounds and lights. (But so do other groups.)
Fire bombing the quarry would only involve starting a flammable material and fuel oil fire somewhere in the pit. The walkers are drawn to fire. If for no other reason than burned walkers are slower than non-burned walkers.
At the tractor store, Glenn, Heath, and what’s-his-name used the time-proven method of letting a few walkers out of a confined area, dispatching them, repeat. The process would just take longer at the quarry.
Kicking the walkers down the road will only lead to some other survivor group being overrun by walkers. Kill 'em now, with as little danger to your own group as possible.
That was the armory - they were there getting ammo and supplies; a regular task.
Do you mean Sasha and Abe Ford, in the two-tone, red/primer land yacht? That’s the car Aaron was using to make his runs. I suspect that the running gear had been regularly maintained and was in pretty good shape.
I agree. What was the endgame, anyway? Did I miss what they said they were going to do with the zombies, or was it just to lead them away and hope they don’t come back?
