Same thought as Nick there...  Just something to make a million girls say inane **** on Twitter.

I didn't mind the episode actually but could've done without the Gabriel bit.  Would've preferred seeing just the two groups and what they're doing.  Gabriel being a huge boner wasn't really interesting at all, and just destroyed the rest of the episode's pace.

I hate them setting up the "Rick's feelings are hurt because someone didn't agree with him" stuff.  I don't think he's that easily phased right now.

Rosita on Talking Dead...  Good god is she a good looking woman.

I liked her story about meeting Abraham...  No doubt he was impressed with her fighting ability, and that's why he asked if she'd tag along with him and Mr. Pants On Fire.

I wasn't fully paying attention since the Cowboys game was on but I'll rewatch later today... Probably my favorite part was the teaser for Better Call Saul. It did infuriate me when Daryl convinced Rick to keep that cop alive though. Do these morons not remember what happens every time they choose to let bad guys live?

I laughed at Eugene still being out cold, and had completely forgotten about Gabriel.

Rosita on Talking Dead...  Good god is she a good looking woman.

Yes, please. Actually got me to watch a few minutes of that terrible show. The TWD makeup crew deserves all of the awards for making all of these hotties look bland and generic.

At least we had everyone in the same episode again.

I liked the melted zombies, and Glyn Rosita and Tara catching fish was a lighthearted distraction. But I could have done without Father Gabriel acting like a jackhole too. I don't get what they are trying to do with his character, and I really don't care. This dude is even more worthless in the apocalypse than Eugene.

I didn't get Dawn/Don's angle with Beth and the drug locker key either. The doctor notes she has an ulterior motive, but what? Does it even matter now?

Man, you have to be a real dope to trust ANYONE at this point too. Especially the friendly guy you have handcuffed. That was just silly.

I'm wondering if Gabriel is running out to hook up with the people he's been feeding victims to in exchange for protection or something.  Doesn't seem like the kind of guy to run off to his death.

And yeah, Dead Bob's GF was a colossal idiot.  I saw that one coming a mile away.

I doubt we'll ever know Dawn's angle.  I think it was just a device to save Carol.

Agreed on Sasha's decision to help Bob2 kill some guy who's been melted to the parking lot for a year or two now.  That was pretty bad writing IMO.  I get they're trying to tie it to Tyrese and him being the new Dale/Herschel of the group as a whole, but it was just something nobody would've done given the things they've been through and it was like watching a train come down the tracks at you.  Very bad IMO.

Darryl's bowling ball use of the zombie head was pretty creative though.

And yes, Eugene still being unconscious is funny...  I'd say Eugene is miles more worthy of being around than Father Gabriel though.  Gabriel is just pathetic.

Oh, and solid thought on him Bill.  I was thinking he seems like he has some purpose or plan.  It's a good thought that he may be tied to Dawn's group in some capacity.

Lame lame lame. This whole Don/Dawn storyline makes me wish they HAD dragged out the cannibals for an entire half season.

Sad. Knew someone had to go. Didn't see it being her. Loved Rick running over the cop at the beginning. I liked the twist that it didn't turn into a blood bath at the end.

On Talking Dead Kirkman mentioned one of the characters we'll see in the second half of the season. If that means we will also get some of the other characters that show up with him about the same time in the comics then God please fast forward December and January!!

I actually kinda figured it'd be Beth so I guess I didn't feel surprised, but it still was a shock.  Then when she was staring down the elevator shaft, I got the vibe she was getting utterly depressed, then she snuck the forceps, and I really started to think they were setting her up to be in some bad situation and toast.

I just felt like she was a weak link, kinda like Bob, and they just seem to off the weak links as far as their characters go. 

There was a moment or two I thought Tyrese might get it because he has that vibe going too lately.

It was a good ending I thought, though.  Tense, and killed an old character...  I liked it.  I'm really shocked at how fast they tore up the Terminus people.  I'm also curious to see, going forward, if anyone from the hospital goes with the group since the offer was made.  I'd think half the cops might want to, possibly the doctor...  Everyone in there's so mentally f'd up though I don't know.  And the wards are all kind of pussies.

Well it seems Carol is a lot tougher than Eugene. Able to walk out of the hospital and all after being in a deep coma. There might be hope after all for these people, given how quick some of them heal. ::) ::)

What a downer.  :(

I don't know which was harder to watch, seeing Beth get killed on the show or watching Emily Kinney crying on Talking Dead. God, she is a sweet girl. I bet Kirkman felt like crawling in a hole and dying right about then.

As soon as I heard there would be a "surprise" guest on TD, I had a bad feeling. And when Beth took the scissors I had a really bad feeling. I just wished they had asked her on TD what she meant when she said "I get it."

I can't believe we lost Beth and yet somehow Tara is still on the show. Between the two, Beth was a much more interesting character IMO and they had only begun to scratch the surface with her. Plus, poor Daryl! Seeing that guy cry made me die a little inside.

Nice to see them back together at the end. What a rollercoaster ride for Maggie though. Joy to heartbreak in just a few hours. I hope Father Gabriel has his stuff together now because he has about used up all his stupid cards.

That whole opening scene was fantastic though. Dumbass should have just stopped.

ps - I'm with you Nick, psyched for the new cast members coming up!

So now Gabriel gets the urgency with the walkers, even though we first met him perched on top of a rock with hungry walkers trying to eat him, with him screaming on top of it.

Gabriel needed to see for himself that the people slaughtered in his church were cannibals.  Or something.  I think pretty much he's just off his rocker.
