The Walking Dead; 8.06 "The King, the Widow, and Rick" (open spoilers)

I didn’t understand the whole “fat lady” truck part. I guess they used it to lure walkers around? But why was it so large and overbuilt? And why were they playing music in the warehouse?

I don’t expect them to spell everything out but it just didn’t seem to flow logically.

I’m pretty sure they hooked a bunch of speakers up to the truck, and they were going to use that to draw the walkers away from the Saviors so they (the saviors) could get out.

Yes, play loud music so the walkers follow the truck.

Mostly just to look ‘cool’ to us viewers.

To test it out. Would you want to take a contraption like that out only to find out it wasn’t working. The women said no one else would have been able to hear it so it probably didn’t much matter how loud it was being played in the garage.

Hell, to me that was the only part that made any sense. Rick is just an idiot. Those garbage people didn’t care one way or the other it seemed, now he’s stuck. Maggie should have shot/killed the one savior that was acting up. Most of those prisoners want to live and probably don’t really care who’s in charge. I doubt there’s much choice where one would end up, and Jesus is right, they will need people, weed out the assholes and try and work with the rest.

Yes! In fact I half expect Jesus to do that. Surely this is gong to manifest itself as a colossal mistake later on.

Isn’t that considered the norm in the minds of comic book writers? Copious amounts of rusted metal flakes + junkyard vermin droppings just screams for the application of bare naked lady bottoms?

Maybe the writers/producers were looking for a way to explain why Rick would end up completely starkers?

As stupid as the whole Garbage Goth Pidgin is, the “talks too much” comment made me laugh.

Yeah, this is easily the first episode this season that I can say I enjoyed watching. It wasn’t great, but it was OK. I finished watching Talking Dead last night, and Smith was great. Instead of a wank-fest, he threw quite a few zingers out there. Carol was a bit understated, but I still like seeing her. And the new guys was cool, too.

Aha, that is why I didn’t understand. The audio mixing is terrible on this show. I routinely miss dialogue because the background music drowns everything out.

I really wanted Rick to ask the Dump People if they talked like that before the zombie apocalypse.

The truck was filled with giant speakers, that’s why it looked weird.

Are they in the comic?

No. There is a group that I think this group might be riffing off of but as they are on the show, no.

My daughter is pregnant with my first grandcgild and i hear that lol

Yeah i was pretty confused too–then your post made it make SOME sense anyway. It would have to be just Morgan because his walker wife killed their son Duane cuz Morgan couldnt put her down. So Morgan leaves Atlanta and goes to Texas where he runs into FTWD cast? At least that fits into the time frame. Thank you!btw, they were already in Virginia (Alexandria) when morgan caught up with them

So im HOPING that they aren’t expecting us to swallow the Rick situation as is --surely what happened was provided for in our heroes game plan? Well, minus the naked part
