| For a show like this that normally has a TON of action, these build up episodes are a nice break. I also like the background info, really helps you learn more about the characters. Also you know episodes 7 & 8 (MSF) will be intense. #9 will either be crazy intense or the fall out. I think they normally have a good balance of the calm and the storm. |

I'm not feeling the romantic tension between Rick and Jesse. This show has always been missing romantic relationship angst. Even when they had the love triangle of Rick, Shane and Lori, it wasn't angsty - Lori didn't want Shane anymore. It was more about Shane's anger and hate than a love triangle.
I realize that's not the point of this show but they've got such great male leads, Rick and Darryl. No good romance for either. Glenn and Maggie are boring... |
I think Rick is a little too emotionally damaged right now for me to buy into a romance between him and anyone. Doesn't feel like he's capable of anything emotionally healthy. |
I agree with you. Any romance they try to put in feels awkward and forced. A while back they could have made the Darryl and Beth episode so much better, but it was just not good and hard to watch. I'm not even talking sex, just more feeling and emotion. |

I kind of dazed off while Sasha and the red-headed guy chatted away, but are we suppose to believe they are going to hook up?
That entire episode could have taken place in 10-minutes. |
|
I missed something - how did Daryl know that the couple was going to turn against him? What did he say or what did they ask that made him realize it?
And did anyone see the preview for next week? Anything good? |
I read an article about it after I saw the episode because I missed that, too. Apparently, Daryl heard the gun click and also saw the guy with the gun in the mirror on the bike. |
Thanks! |
| When will we find out the fate of Glenn? Regardless, I don't like that there are only two more episodes before mid season ends. There is so much happening, I don't want it to stop. |
Probably the last episode of the year. I hate that I have to wait another couple of months, too. I binged watched the first 3 or 4 seasons and then got hooked. I got so used to watching one episode after another that I found having to wait for months annoying. Oh, first world problems. |
My theory is that he crawled underneath the dumpster which just happens to be rusted on the bottom, and Glen crawls inside. They sure show that dumpster surrounded by walkers during commercials and promos a lot. Just sayin'. After the last episode, it might be him on the walkie talkie and Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham coming to the rescue with a rocket launcher and truck full of gas. |
| Glen has to get out of that situation somehow since we know he films with "Jesus". Or maybe the Jesus sequence is a dream? Although I don't think it's that way in the comics... I guess we'll find out soon. |
We will find out how Glenn escapes this Sunday, leading up to the packed with crazy mid season finale- for comic readers it will have major events from No Way Out |
I am not a comic book reader. But how do you know that it will have events outlined in the book you reference ? |
NP. For the most part, they've followed the story arc of the comics. The characters don't share the same fate (i.e. Lori and Baby Judith are shot and killed during the prison raid) and there are new characters (i.e. Terminus) but they've been a good predictor of where the tv show is going. There have been some online rumors and the basic plot of that comic fits with what's been going on. But its impossible to say that Character X will have "this fate" happen to him/her based on the comics. They've mixed it up enough IMO that you can't make that direct correlation. |
