I love it. Last night was such a good episode!

[jubilantsquirrel]

YASSSS!! I'm excited and stressed out all at the same time.

[ThankfulSnail]

DH and I started with the pilot in December and binge watched up to being caught up as of last Monday, so yesterday was the first one we got to watch live.

Last night was my favorite episode in a long time, probably since the end of the Woodbury plotline (where Andrea died)

Definitely agree. It was so action packed, and I loved that it stuck so closely to the comics storyline...

Even with things I didn't think they would be able to do on TV like 

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Carl's eye getting shot!

[ceejay]

I tried to jump in on Parenting's thread but I watched TWD on my DVR a few hours late so I kind of missed everything. Please start a thread here next week, ******!

Yes! My heart was racing pretty much the entire episode, my FitBit even told me so.

Is that how it happened in the comics? For some reason I thought Carl lost his eye much earlier, but I've never read them before, so I have no idea.

I also thought Glenn was a goner for a minute there. I mean, how cruel would that have been?!

as soon as Daryl proved he's still a bad ass, I was on the edge of my seat!! They started with a bang and never let up!! It was awesome!

I looked at my FitBit after that and my heart rate read 99. Then after the big scene at the end, my heart rate was 111. Like, damn.

I also blame TWD for any all grey hairs I have.

I think they will stick with the comics when it comes tonGlenn....as hard as that's gonna be to watch.

Also, I'm not sure how I feel about pregnant Maggie.

I've read about that... I'm not looking forward to it.

It's very similar in the comics. It's in that same scene (when the walkers have broken into Alexandria) and Rick rushes him to the doctor.

But in the comics

{Comics spoiler}
He is shot accidentally by Douglas Monroe, who is the comics version of Deanna. In the comics, Jesse only has one son who is named Ron, and he is the one eaten by the zombies like Sam was in the TV show.

Got it! I think I must have just been hearing about his eye for a while now. I know the comics are way ahead of the show.

when it happens, I hope that's the big point in the episode. I don't want him to go out and be overshadowed by a lot of other stuff. I feel like he deserves and epic episode all for himself.

I agree! He certainly a fan favorite. He's a close 2nd on my Do Not Kill list, I'll likely shed tears... again.

[ceejay]

My only complaint with the episode was that it was a little unrealistic that not a single Alexandrian or member of Rick's group was killed or bit in the big stand against the invading walkers. I loved seeing everyone come together to fight the walkers, but come on... some of those Alexandrians had never fought walkers before in their lives. I would expected at least one or two of them wouldn't have made it.

That group has seriously had some very unrealistic escapes with little to no causalities. They could have at least gotten rid of Father Gabriel. I like him much better on Teen Wolf anyway.

I was pretty shocked they did the thing with Carl's eye just purely from s technical stand point.
I thought it was a bit odd in the beginning when Daryl blew up the bikers that no one was watching what was going on back there.

I was thinking that too. But then again, I wasn't watching Daryl very carefully then and maybe that was when Daryl had brought the other guy to the back of their truck to show him what else they had in there. And then Daryl took him out behind the truck (they did show the guy dead on the ground later) and got the flame thrower thing.

Yeah Daryl overpowered the guy that took him to the back of the truck and then got the RPG to blast the bikers. I guess there must have been a compartment back there where they had them stored.

I don't think they're going to stick to the comics with Glenn. People are expecting that and I think Kirkman said they're going to deviate regarding that event. I think someone else is going to get his fate and that really worries me.

I agree. I think it might be Abraham that gets it.  

I don't love Abraham but I like him enough and it will be sad to see anyone killed that way.

I don't think Abraham will make as big as an impact. There are lots of rumors that it's going to be *gasp* Daryl.

I've heard that too but I can't see them getting rid of Daryl yet. I will be very sad if they do...

NO! No no no no no! I will riot. I will punch my TV and then throw it out the window. I will write Kirkman angry letters. I will never ever watch TWD ever again.

I heard this too. Which would be so sad but ok.

Ahhhh, the episode last night was amazing!

I'm pretty sure they know that if they kill Daryl people will flip shit. Maybe Maggie will get Glenn's demise and that's how they'll end the baby plot. I can't see them having two babies in this show.

I also can't keep up with the parenting thread. We got rid of cable and watched it on Kodi this morning so I'm way too far behind for that thread.

[TheEleventhHour]

I will be watching but I'll be behind since I work most Sunday nights. I read all the spoilers from last night's episode though lol.

This has been my thought, too. In the comic, Judith didn't survive long so unless they kill her (which I don't think I could handle watching), I could see them possibly killing Maggie.

That would still be devastating, but I would be more ok with Maggie meeting Lucille than Glenn or Daryl. I also think that would really set up an interesting character development for Glenn. He's definitely changed (as everyone has), but we've never really seen him lose himself. I think if any event could cause Glenn to completely lose his humanity it would be watching Maggie die a violent death.

My same thoughts. It'd be sad but easier to deal with. And it would really bring out a new side of Glenn. I'll be curious to see how they do the rest of this season.

But if Maggie goes, who becomes the new leader? Didn't she become the leader of Alexandria in the comics? I don't see anyone else developing into that role.

I think she becomes leader of the Hilltop Colony. Maybe Carol would become the leader. I think she's going to be influenced by Morgan a bit and will regain some humanity so she could be an awesome leader.
