[QUOTE=AMC] After a few moments of peace, trouble finds its way to Alexandria again with a threat that may be too big to defeat. [/QUOTE] “Mid-season finale” tonight (I hate that term); the church tower has fallen. Also we might finally see a zombie on **Flight 462**. Producer Robert Kirkman and two surprise guests are on **Talking Dead**. ---

Yeah, “mid-season finale” always produces a roll eyes for me, too. I’m just hoping that Carol finally kills Morgan. No, I don’t think it’s actually going to happen, but a guy can hope!! 🙂 ---

Carol vs Morgan. Round 1. Fight! Wolf Wins. Flawless Victory. … Overall, a great episode, pretty much what you would expect for a mid-season finale with a bunch of cliffhangers all over the place. Waiting is the hardest part. ---

I was hoping for a mid-season twist ending, where the guts trick didn’t work and they all got eaten, so I could be done with this show. ---

Well Father Gabriel is no longer the most useless piece of shit on the show. Deanna at least going down in a blaze of glory was fun. Also Rich almost taking a hatchet to her while she was trying to comfort Judith was pretty funny; 😃 not only that, but Rick actually realized that it’s a bad idea to keep the zombie bite victim alone in the same room with a baby! 😛 ---

Why don’t they employ the “cover me in walker guts” trick as a matter of protocol when out and about? It seems to be foolproof. Why not use it when they were emptying the quarry, for example? ---

Morgan is an idiot. But then again so are the rest of them, why didn’t they kill him and at least take the chance of saving the doctor? Now she’s almost certain to die. Hell the doctor should have kicked him the the face when he was bending down. At least Deanna was willing to take a few of them out. ---

Why is this only 1 hour. Why do I always expect king size walking dead fulfillment and it winds up always funsize. :mad: That was actually tense with the Carol/Morgan showdown. We were all waiting for someone to shoot coral in the eye…annnd it’s gone. The preview of next episode looks pretty daunting with the Negan punk. Does anyone look where their running, did they forget to tie their shoes? Last time I fell down, I might gotten some dust on my hands and britches…when I was like 8. I don’t recall broken bones, lacerations or head trauma falling on flat ground. Not that it cant happen, its just unusual or these people to keep cutting themselves on any surface that comes near them at bump speed. :rolleyes: ---

Yeah, I refuse to believe that two sentient humans would hand over their guns in that situation. If the show had the courage of its convictions, the wolf would have shot all 6 of them then and there. And I bet Michonne feels stupid about not using the guts trick to get her team back safely a couple episodes back. ---

If the show had the courage of its convictions, the wolf would have shot all 6 of them then and there. Standard movie plotting. A deadly criminal has a hostage, turn over your weapons so he’s better armed and you’re defenseless. FFS, people. Learn to take the head shot. You should be good at it by now because of all the fucking zombies and that’s THE ONLY WAY TO KILL THEM. ---

He was a fixture on _Laugh In_. Well, that was a whole lotta nuthin! Walkers break in. People hide in houses. At least Janeway is toast-- she was REALLY getting irritating. But shit, that was just completely devoid of content. ---

They did this early on in the comics and IIRC the kid and mom got eaten. Can’t see it going any other way if he won’t shut up. They should have blindfolded him and had someone carry him at least.
