Scott M. Gimple, Lennie James, Michael Rooker and a surprise cast member are on Talking Dead.
How did one of the prisoners in the pen turn?
Seriously, do the writers never get tired of making these people endlessly, fatally stupid?
This weird turning thing. How can use it be that you get bit, die, and turn zombie? But now you can be infected with gut juice, get a fever and die and turn? This seriously confuses the situation.
I thought they died from their wounds.
They died from the infection the zombies carry, same as if they were bitten.
We will see if Tara gets sick. Her wound isn’t bad enough to kill her, outright. Carols boyfriend wasn’t hurt bad enough to die , he was sitting up and joking alittle.
It wouldn’t make sense if Tara gets sick. Dwight only shot her to save her from Simon, if he had the poisoned weapons that would have been pointless.
I thought he had an axe hole in his chest.
As Tara said, Karma’s a bitch. Maybe Dwight didn’t use a dirty arrow. Who knows?
This is so stupid because by this time these people have had zombie blood and guts allover. It just doesn’t make sense that all of a sudden it makes them sick without a bite.
It’s a brand new fear.
All over, yes but what I think they’re doing here is getting the guts internal, which is the same as getting a bite. They’re wounded with tainted weapons so the virus gets into the victim’s internal system which then begins the fever/dying/turning process.
Okay, that may be the difference I couldn’t see.
This was my least favorite episode in quite some time. I almost always vote I loved it, but for me it was a “meh” and very near “Didn’t like it”.
I don’t expect the show to be a documentary on military tactics, or be a super accurate portrayal of life in a zombie apocalypse (which frankly would be pretty dull given slow zombies). All I ask from TV/movie is to be entertained. However, the degree of dumb in this episode really pulled me out of it. Oh well, they cannot all be great. Hopefully next week will be better.
I did like Maggie in this episode and she was a major highlight.
Except that there is no way in the years of combat these people have seen that this hasn’t come up before. How many times have these people had their hands inside walkers for goodness sake?! Broken glass, running through thorny brambles, fighting with edged weapons and then having to pull a walker off somebody or push one off themselves bare handed.
Daryl’s reuse of arrows alone would have demonstrated this years ago had the writers not just pulled it out of their asses recently. You can’t hardly be in the same room with a hunting broadhead and not cut yourself. Not to mention he’s been alternating the arrows between walker killing and hunting dinner the whole time!!!
Call me crazy, but I liked this episode. Maybe it was just the action, because I agree with all the comments about how much stupidity there was, plus the same old garbage about how all the “extras” die in a barrage of bullets, but the main characters (like Simon) never get hit. Anyway, I enjoyed it. I’ll enjoy it more when (and if) they finally kill of Negan.
You know, I was thinking about that. I think Dwight didn’t use a bad arrow on her. I think he might still be against Simon, but he couldn’t really be against him in that fight. I think Dwight shot her because otherwise Simon was going to axe her, now she’ll be fine.
I’ll ignore the using of guts, but have none of these people fought a damn walker before? You’d think they’d be sleeping with a knife or something.
How many of the prisoners didn’t run? I hope Maggie gives them some sort of chance. I’m sure a lot of them got stuck with the saviors, especially the one guy. He could have run with ease yet he sticks around.
I was liking Simon, I thought he was being serious about leaving the rest of the people alone and finding other groups. Nope, seems he just wants to wipe them off the face of the earth.
I thought it was fairly obvious Dwight shot Tara to save her from Simon, that’s why she only got a scratch.
I don’t expect a documentary on post-zombie apocalypse tribal military tactics, but I do expect some consistency and common sense. I mean Carl seemed to take days to die from an actual zombie bite. And some of those wounded, like Carol’s friend, looked like survival wasn’t a done deal, regardless of dirty weaponry.
There were zero sentries anywhere around Hilltop the evening after a major battle with the Saviors. No one watching the walls or the main house. No one watching the prisoners. No one checking on the wounded.
And we’re still keeping our sick and badly wounded sleeping right along with everyone else? Or not closing our doors when we sleep?
Oh and did that stupid “Who killed my brother” kid think the death of Carl created an opening for an annoying shitty little brat?
Knowing that anyone who dies turns, I would think there would be a 24 hour armed guard around anyone who was injured or ill.
Eugene had the idea of throwing body parts over the walls. Was poisoned weapons Eugene’s idea, or Neegan’s?
