I thought it was a bullet hole.
It’s like Joshua and the Battle of Jerichhhhhhhooooo.
Or, within the memory of many of the characters, that time the prison chain-link fence collapsed.
That wasn’t a young woman painting Glen’s name on the wall, that was Carl, who desperately needs a haircut (well actually the hair department needs to throw that that wig they have him wearing).
Deanna’s world fell apart very quickly. I don’t know how much time has passed, but it’s still very recently that her husband was killed. She’s still in mourning and/or shock. At the same time, zombies got into the development. So first her safe little community turns out not to be safe because of one wacko who left the gate open, then she lost the love of her life. And then the Wolves came. Again, her sanctuary is not as safe as she thought it was. Right on the heels of the Wolves comes the Hoard. She’s effectively punch-drunk.
Frustration. Have you ever been sitting in your living room, and somebody’s dog is barking incessantly? Or maybe your neighbour’s baby is crying for hours? Have you ever shouted ‘SHUT THE HELL UP!’ even though it’s a futile gesture that accomplishes nothing? Same thing.
I think that maybe the whole “zombie guts” thing only worked early on before decomposition took its toll on zombie noses.
If a zombie has no nose, how does it smell?
(I know, really really bad.)
I don’t think that’s what Rick meant when he said “they’re guarding us now”. I think he was being facetious. As in what do they need to “stand guard” against? The swarm of walkers 20 deep surrounding the walls?
Although they should be patrolling the fence looking for any sort of breaks or weak points to shore up.
That’s the thing that bugs me about zombie movies. They end up everywhere. They always seem to be invisible and silent if they are out of the camera frame. And they always seem endless. I mean they are in the middle of rural Georgia or wherever. Where did tens of thousands of walkers come from? You would think every town in Georgia had a population density of Times Square.
And FWIW, I think Rick’s plan was stupid. How hard would it have been to drive up a couple of trucks to block in the quarry?
Oh I forgot. One minute, a 12 year old girl can pull off a walkers head with her bare hands. The next moment, they are tearing through reinforced concrete.
I thought the blood on the wall was dripping from something above as well, and just figured we wouldn’t find out who it was dripping from until next week (or later.)
They’re in a suburb of Washington, DC.

Shooby said that in post #67, not I.
I am a bit more cynical, I think the writers give the audience lots of opportunities to be back seat drivers to entice discussion. It can be really frustrating, but it seems to have worked for them.
Finally watched it on the DVR. Meh. My wife and I both said, “finally something is happening!” when Maggie and Aaron were wading through the sewer. Then they turned around and went back. I think this show is at a point where they think we’ll watch it even if they just show a still shot of Rick’s face for an hour.
Yeah, I laughed at this moment. Knife in eye socket. Turn around. “Thanks for you attention, people. Now let me monologue…”
Totally agree and said this a couple episodes ago. Rick’s plan was among the worst possible options. I can’t believe nobody in the town is blaming him for the conundrum they’re in.
Why? Other than the fact it got most of the work party killed, the herder team is still missing, it left Alexandria opened to an attack that wiped out most of the population and they ended up surrounded by an endless hoard of zombies anyway, it went off flawlessly.
In the fanfic “Mom’s Journal of the zombie years” on the Zombie Squad forum, the community “Sanctuary” has a specially customized anti-zombie vehicle named “Juicer”, a garbage truck with a dumpster welded to the lift arms in a “scoop” configuration, they can drive through a horde, filling up the dumpster, then tipping the walkers into the compactor body, and driving forward some more, once the compactor is full, the ram is cycled, crushing the walkers into a slurry, the slurry is then dumped into a disposal trench
This is certainly feasible in TWD-verse
And as far as the .22 rifle goes, an ideal rig would be a Ruger 10/22 with a suppressor, a reliable scope or red dot sight, and extended magazines, 25, 35, 50 or 100 rounders
And what better sidearm than a suppressed Glock 9mm with the 33 round Glock 18 extended mags, sure, Rick’s .357 Magnum Colt Python is definitely cooler, and I’m a revolver guy, but the soulless “tactical Tupperware” Glock is far more practical in a zombie apocalypse, Colt Python capacity, 6 rounds, Glock 17, 17 rounds in standard capacity mags, 33 rounders available.
That would be nice.
I’d be happy with the Marlin .22 rifle Father had. I think you could get 50 shorts in there. 
See now* this *is a good-news gun thread!
Would you elaborate on that?
Generally Marlin tube-feeder guns hold the following;
22" barrel (bolt action and lever action guns)
19 Long Rifle
21 Long
26 Shorts
22" barrel Model 60 semiauto tube feeder
19 LR
15" barrel Model 60**;
14 LR
**shortened in the mid 1980’s so Marlin could still sell the Model 60 in Nanny Jersey, as the original long barreled Model 60 was considered an “assault weapon” by their draconian anti-gun laws due to it holding more than 15 rounds, even though it was a tube feeder and did not take detachable magazines
So I exaggerated, sue me.
I forget, what ever happened to the governor’s tank? Put a big plow on the front of that thing.
Meh… Fighting ignorance and all that rot, no big deal
