Garf Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I am not up to date on this thread, only just caught up. Very good episode, loads of tension at the start, nice build up to the rest of what followed. There were some nice sfx but one of the first face eating zombie attacks was a bit poor, had me giggling a bit before settling back into it. Really enjoyable though. It's just little things like that which holds the series back from being on par with some of the better HBO productions and complete dominance. So much happened. Definitely a take on the hunters. Which suggests to the people reading the comic that hunting is what will now follow. Tyreese was in keeping with his character. One of the few TWD characters in the comic that I really miss along with Abraham... so it was nice to see that follow through in his alternate tv reality. I thought Eugene's explanation of his "cure" was different enough from what the CDC was trying to pass brief consideration. Taking a bio weapons tech perspective rather than a purely medical one. The flashback to the time terminus was taken over gave a bit of backstory as well as a decent revenge motive for this series. Negan? Doesn't fit his MO seeing as he isn't a rapist and despises / kills them. Morgan? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrjr Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) That trough was ridiculously clean, though. Guess even in the apocalypse you have to worry about the health department. I suspect it was clean because they re-used whatever ended up in it. So, maybe I missed something, but were these people cannibals?

rjrjr Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 That four minute preview before the show, really spoiled a lot for me. Wish I skipped it. But the episode was one of the best of all three plus seasons. I didn't see the preview, but I agree, this was one of the better episodes. Last season were Carol took care of the "kid" problem was probably the creepiest episode IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That guy sure looked like Negan. I thought one of the prisoners even said his name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcludedTim Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Kirkman tweeted that it wasnt negan. Something along the lines of that guy having a face tattoo. Didn't catch it. Will need to rewatch at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Did anyone see who took Michonnes Katana? I didn't see it at all - not even when Carol found Daryls crossbow - any idea's where it went? I mean surely she won't just "find" another - so it must be part of a later story? Maybe he finds it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to rewatch at some point. I could have misheard. But, as soon as I saw him, I said "Negan!". It could've been the other guy. Didn't he say something along the lines of "You're just like us!" when he popped out of the container and into Rick? But he sure looked like Negan. Just like him.

chrisco37 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Also, it doesn't seem like the Terminus folks would've kept any of them alive. They would've had to escape to live. So, I don't think the guy from the flashback was the bearded guy that Glen let out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the woman that was picked out to be raped (again) . It sounded like she said "Negan ", but I believe what she actually said was "Not again " or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I really enjoyed the episode. The only "stupid" part was when Carole met back up with the group. When did she have time to get all cleaned up? But that's just nitpicking. I really don't care.
