Daryl, Abraham and Sasha encounter many obstacles and a new threat while trying to return to Alexandria.

Talking Dead is on an hour later because of the series première of Into the Badlands; Michael Rooker (Merle), Paget Brewster and Doug Benson are guesting.
Well, how was it? Did we get any resolution on Glenn?
Glenn was on the radio in the last second if you missed it.
Well, that was Glenn’s voice on the radio at the end. Not sure what that means given how confused the timeline is. Did anybody catch what was in the cooler that was so important Daryl returned the duffel? And who’s this 3rd faction; those people clearly weren’t Wolves.
Insulin for the later dead girl.
Insulin.
The cooler was labeled as insulin. Presumably that meant the one girl had type 1 diabetes. It seemed to be just another example of writers not understanding diabetes. Perhaps the girl had bolused and there was a glucose injection in there. I wish writers would just not use diabetes, or would take two minutes to understand it.
OK, so anyone care to explain how there could be usable inulin left 2 years into the zombie apocalypse? :dubious:
Unused and refrigerated bottles could last a couple years. I doubt the same is true for the little kit they showed her using - presuming that was supposed to be insulin.
What da fuck happened at the end? Why was Daryl pushing a bike that the crack head version of Matthew McConaughey and his lady took at gunpoint, started and drove away? Was it out of gas and they managed to fuel it up while Daryl wasn’t looking?
Anyone care to explain how people aren’t more careful around corpses 2 years into a zombie apocalypse?
Great question. It seemed to be in perfect working order. Also, why do zombies sometimes have a sleep mode? How were the cigars so pristine after sitting out in the elements?
I’m not even entirely clear on that side story. Abraham, Sasha and Darryl got ambushed by that group (what group?). Darryl got taken by them. They eventually decided that Darryl wasn’t ‘one of them’ (who?) and let him go. But then at the last second they decided to steal his bike and crossbow again (why?).
Was ‘one of them’ the guys that all showed up and surrounding them? At one point I was under the impression that Darryl ratted them out to those guys. Here’s your insulin, but fuck you anyways.
I had to watch that last second again to see what Darryl said, or realized he said that made him stop and try to get his crossbow. The only thing I can come up with is that he heard the gun racking behind him. Furthermore, I can only assume that they just wanted the bike and crossbow since they never even got any real information out of him.
Were they laying in the bed or in the (watertight) box with the RPGs? Eitherway, if you want to fanwank if, you could say that they’ve been sitting in the cab until just recently. Maybe the driver is somewhat recently deceased or someone else just moved them.
Another thought, I’m guessing were not going to find out about Glenn until episode 9, there’s two more episodes this month, then episode 9 is in February. Furthermore, if they go that route, I’d guess that in episode 8, it’ll go back to a regular episode and they’ll remind us about Glenn to, more or less, repeat the cliffhanger from a few episodes ago. OTOH, if that’s the case, they could have just saved that scene for episode 8.
It seems like the “group” that ambushed Daryl, Abraham, and Sasha were part of a despotic group that was looking for the three people Daryl ran into. Those three were members of the group and were basically slaves to the group in return for protection.
At the end, I don’t think that man and woman trusted Daryl not to drive them back to the “group.”
The “voice” on the radio was garbled enough to be anyone.
That makes a bit more sense. I’ll admit that I don’t exactly give TWD my undivided attention.
I also agree that the voice on the radio could have been anyone, but I just assumed it was Rick.
I thought that the motorcycle never ran out of gas. Daryl was hiding in the woods from the ambush and stopped it so as not to attract walkers. He pushed it to a place where he could hide it and then he started looking around.
Ditto. If you want to worry about something like that. We should wonder about how his arm was healed after the fall. He could barely get his jacket off, then it was suddenly fine when he needed to use it. I’m not even sure if the road rash was there for the rest of the show.
Also, how did he find the truck. Was that part of him being a ‘tracker’. Is that why Sasha mentioned it near the beginning of the show. I mean, she wrote ‘DIXON’ on the door, you don’t have to be a tracker to find that, you just have to happen to see it. However, he somehow put together a walker with a motorcycle helmet and thing in the ground and figured out that it meant there was a truck buried a few feet away. He hasn’t done that kind of tracking for a quite a few years.
I’m thinking the finale of the mid-season break will be an attempt to save Glenn, now that they have some RPGs to clear a way in to save him.
Sure, it could’ve been anybody on the other end feebly asking for help. I’m not saying it’s Glenn, but it’s Glenn.
If were going with the ‘not his guts’ theory. Then I’m going to predict that he slid underneath the dumpster (I don’t remember if it was up on wheels). IIRC, walkers don’t tend to reach under things. In general people have successfully hid under cars and waited out herds.
