So excited for Walking Dead tonight!

Re last week/Judith. The timer was started at the beginning of the episode and went off at the end, so it bookends the wolves raid. Before: normal, set timer; after: new normal, timer goes off; between: chaos.

Glen is not dead. From the way that the two of them fell, Glen was underneath. The show has no problem showing people having their face eaten, so there would be no reason to show ambiguous guts eating while Glen looks on with no apparent pain.

When Rick killed the three or four walkers he found on the road, there was a knife in one of their shoulders. I thought he sliced his hand on that. (It's always bothered me that walker fluids don't cause infection/death, but somehow bites and scratches do, but they're hardly going to switch that now).

Also, where the heck is Rick supposed to be? I thought he was behind the herd, and in fact he must be, since otherwise how could he run back to get the camper (on the other side of the walker ricochet wall). But then where does he drive to? ("I'm at my best guess.") Was Glen (who was ahead of the herd) supposed to meet him there? It must be relatively close to Alexandria or the Wolves wouldn't have found him so quickly. But then why are all these walkers coming out of the woods?

And finally: it would have been a perfect time for Michonne to cut off a couple of walker jaws and just mosey on out covered in walker guts. She even had two candidates in a PET STORE--presumably filled with LEASHES!! Even if she wanted to be a hero, she could have let the two injured people have the camouflage.

I nod my head to all your reactions, especially the where the hell is Rick part. I lost track of "the plan" at some point, I'm not sure where anyone is right now, is Daryl even in close proximity enough to Rick to save him? Idk, but I hope they all make it back, Glenn included.

As far as Michonne goes, I'm pretty sure she realized the error in her ways immediately, but again, why don't they ever go back to the tried and true tricks (smeared guts, walkers without jaws to protect them) when they're in these situations? I also wonder why Glenn and Nicholas didn't try going up one of the many fire escapes they passed as they were running. I realize then you'd be stuck on a roof, but at least it would give you some time to devise a better escape plan. With all that said, I'm certain I'd last all of five minutes in a zombie apocolyse, so what do I know

IT'S COMING...




of course, the show's writers don't follow the graphic novel too strictly, but...



SPOILER....











glen died a long time ago in the graphic novel.

Because of another, unrelated, much cooler reason.

IMO, he'll survive, because of a deus ex machina, probably the walker guts thing, and then he'll die like he did in the comics.

While I'll be devastated if he really is dead, if they pull a fast one I'll lose so much respect for that show.

my DH and I discuss this all the time. they never seem to learn from their experiences and only use these tricks when it is to the writers advantage. Michonne's walking wtih walkers is genius and should be used any time they leave the compound.

The fire stairs were all intentionally block by items, which is interesting.

Has anyone pointed out yet that Nicholas was out of bullets and couldn't have blown his brains out? When Glen pulls out his knife you hear the clicking sound of Nicholas pulling the trigger with zero bullets.

So hallucination then by Nicholas? Glen? Are they still on the dumpster?

This is what I am thinking too. If they did that, while I would really hate to see Glen go, it would be pretty wild and a major "Oh no they didn't!"

Seems like he survived...here's an on-set photo of Glenn with the Jesus character, who has not yet been introduced in the show:

re: deux ex machina... but Glen seemed like he was screaming. You'd think they'd bite his face or something with all the noise coming from that area even if they don't go for the body. From what I recall, it works if you stay quiet.

Is Glenn's situation any harder than Daryl and Aaron trapped in the car? Tyreese with 100+ walkers and only his hammer?

Maybe he'll be okay.

Glen is still filming and Nicholas was out of bullets. Seems pretty obvious he survives...

My husband watched it again tonight. Glenn's gun clicks and is out of bullets, but it does not show that Nick's gun doesn't have any left. So it is still possible but Nicholas did shoot himself.

When Glen pulls out his knife you can hear the click in the background of Nicholas' gun.
