Another interesting episode. I'm enjoying the difference between the comics and the show but don't understand why they changed some things like they did. For example, the leader of the Alexandria Free Zone in the comic is a man named Douglas, why change it to a woman named Monroe?

From tonight's episode, did anyone notice the street name above Rick's head at the end of the episode as he turned away from Jessie and her husband? Foreshadowing?

a red A stamp? a strong reference to the scarlet letter imo. those two are going to bump uglies at some point and that husband is about to be worm food.

I think Merle would have blown a gasket had he still been alive and saw Darryl hanging out with his new "buddies"

This has been so weird the past couple of weeks.

Can't figure these alexandrians out.

That carol/kid thing was a tough scene really cause the kid meant no harm. Gotta think junior is going to at some point spill about carol's gun heist. Rick might even have to send her on her way again. She left no doubt what she is still all about and that poor kid would be wetting his pants even more if he knew what happened to the last kid that carol had to 'deal with' and that one she actually LIKED! I'm kind of surprised she didn't take him out and feed him to the walkers right then and there. Maybe she is softening up a bit.

I think Rick might actually pull a Shane with Jessie. Would be a shame if it actually meant losing a physician whom I would think would be pretty important for any group. Definitely a story line there.

And, no offense, but I really hope Daryl doesn't have a Rick/Jessie situation with his new friends.

Looks like Sasha is ready to go postal any time now.

I guess the thing that is really weird for me is that right now, Rick's bunch is coming across as more threatening and sinister than their hosts!

That's what I took away from it too. Rick and the gang have been out surviving the hard way for so long that they have turned into the bad guys that they've been looking out for.

Also, who rabbit hunts with a remington 700? I thought that was a pretty good indication that he wasn't out rabbit hunting, but nothing came of it.

That neatly dressed, mild mannered gay dude proved he really knew how to shoot that thing and use a machete too on those walkers.

Alexandria is going to be taken out the episode. Some of Ricks crew are going down with it but they will be replaced by some of the Alexandria people.

How it's going to be taken down I don't know. Those folks sure seem stupid about some of the stuff. I wonder if they even know that they all are infected.

The guys last name in the comics is Monroe I think. But the casting is definitely off to me. Or not so much the casting as the character development. She's just not a believable character. Hershel was almost as bad when he first appeared on the show.

There is definitely going to be a conflict. The Doc apparently gets drunk and belligerent. Seemed drunk the first night when he called out to Rick int eh street and the wife clearly had an issue with him getting another refill. And Rick is apparently in animal mode.

I agree with you. I love the show, but ever since the showdown with the Governor, it's been in need of a fresh direction and I feel like we're finally getting one. Terminus, the hospital, and the church all had potential during the last 15 or so episodes, but I didn't feel like any of those stories were really all that engaging to be honest. They just kinda jumped in and then wrapped things up with all of them pretty quickly.

Now, though... it seems like we're getting back to the slow burn stories within Alexandria, and there's a lot of interesting things going on at once. Rick and Jessie, Karl and the girl, Daryl's conflict, Carol and her cookies... Not to mention that we all know that somebody's coming. The writers are doing a really good job with juggling about a dozen subplots right now.

I told my wife I thought Carol would end up doing something wrong but Rick would leave with her because she came back for them at Terminus.

Of course it is. Otherwise the show would be pretty much over. With that said, I wonder how many more seasons are planned? Seems to me that a show like this would have to work itself toward a defined conclusion.

They are also going to start a companion series that follows a group of survivors in LA. CBS has to be kicking themselves for not picking up the "Zombieland" series.
