The Walking Dead (2/22)

Was there much to say about this episode? Kinda a filler episode...necessary, but I can't think of much to talk about.

The thing thats stood out were simply the group's desperate need to find a home, and the Aaron/Eric relationship was a breath of fresh air. Seriously, there has been so much depression and angst that their loving gestures, concern for each other, and warmth felt like we were being given a lot of hope.

Funny how simple things like a license plate can change the entire feel of the episode.

Also, Rick needs a razor and a little faith.

I particularly liked them mowing down walkers in the car. That was fun.

I agree though, definitely a filler episode necessary to bridge the gap between the desperation episodes and what's to come.

When glen was working on the rv and someone asked where he learned that. Ugh. Right in the feels! I miss dale.

I also think that hearing the children playing was just a recording playing.

It was definitely better and more exciting than the past two episodes!

It was a good episode but more of a filler. I liked the nod to dale with the RV battery. I liked the driving through zombies part too, it was gross but pretty cool.

All I could think of was how are they gonna fuck this up bc it's not much of a show if they're happy. Other than that it was an ok episode. Aaron seems like a nice guy so now I'm worried he's going to get his face eaten.

If they fuck Alexandria up from the comics, I will never forgive the producers.

Having Alexandria be a good community in the show would actually be a nice change of pace... So far every single community they've been to has been bad or went bad quickly.

I agree, kawaiikitsune, they better not mess up Alexandria.

I really hope this is their safe haven! It really was a breath of fresh air seeing Aaron and Eric's love for one another. Laughs and a tiny sense of "normalcy" (giving a gift...the license plate) when it's needed the most. Last week's episode it seems they were beginning to lose hope and motivation to keep going.
At the end of the episode, when they pulled up to the gates, you could hear (I think? the volume was low on my tv) children laughing and playing. That was so sweet and refreshing and the thought of a real home and "normal" life for them made me cry. Yes, I'm very attached to many of these characters, lol!

Just watched. Even though it was really a filler episode, I enjoyed it more than last week. At least there was some adventure/excitement at the end. Interested to see what happens in town - the group is overdue for a "good" place, but there's not much of a show if it all says fine and dandy.

[heatherj9603]

LadyNymeria, ang32,I don't think this is their safe haven. This show still has at least one more season. So I don't see an entire season out of being happy.

I'm starting to get a little washed out by the show. It's too repetitive. Oh they think they found a safe haven. Oh shocker the safe haven is a bunch of canibals or the leader is crazy.

I would love for the show to end with them back on something like the farm. Or just going back to their farm and building it back up. 

[ceejay]

Even if this is a safe place for them to stay, that doesn't mean that the show will be boring and nothing more can happen. There could still be threats from other rival communities or threats from walkers or internal conflicts within the community. And even if it is safe for a while (which honestly I hope it is), something will probably happen at some point that will force them to leave so the show can progress.

The suspense is killing me now! Haven't read the comics to this point! I'm afraid I might not like the show as much if I knew the comics. Do you have trouble enjoying the show already knowing the comics? I know they've strayed from the comics but haven't the main bad guys and such been pretty aligned with the comics?

I am able to enjoy both, the comics a little more because they are no-holds-bar really. Personally, one of favorite things is seeing how different/similar they are. For the most part, they have kept the bad guys and conflict pretty similar.

I kinda like dick Rick. He hella punched that guy on the face for no reason. When Aaron said he was going to go be with Eric no matter what unless they killed him I was just kinda thinking umn Rick might! Lol then Glen went over there because I think he might of though the same thing. Ok maybe he needs to lighten up just a bit but it's been what has kept them alive can't really blame the guyn
