Like Cudliff said in TD, that scene was right out of the comics.  Although in the comics, it was Abraham telling Rick what happened instead of showing it.

It was right after Rick ripped a guy's throat out with his teeth...the claimers scene from last season.

This past week was an OK episode. At least it was better than that terrible Beth episode. 

I don't get why Abraham's family would abandon him after killing those guys that raped them. I don't read the comics, anyone has insight into that?

I think actually seeing someone beat multiple people to death with their fists long after they've stopped being a threat might make some people uneasy about what they're capable of.  Might have made more sense if the wife and kids were remotely able to defend themselves from zombies or scavengers, but they literally weren't going to make it 20 feet without Abe. Personally, I want someone like that around when the world turns to crap, but I think that's the gist of what they were trying to sell us.

Yeah that was how I took that too.  Not to mention they're all traumatized by what happened to them and I figure the mother was just trying to escape this brutality she can't deal with and is stuck in.  Rash decision on her part but she probably was not in a good frame of mind...  It's like Shane and others wanting to leave but Carol wanting to stay to find her daughter who in all likelihood was dead...  Thinking emotionally...  The immediate threats didn't compute.

I often think "what if" about Shane and if he were still with Rick.  I think he'd be Rick's biggest asset,especially with Laurie dead.

A producer said this season was going to be about the journey to Washington. Now with Eugene's lie out, you have to wonder if they would ever leave Georgia now. It seems to have put the state in the spot light.

Another slowish episode (the whole segment in the women's shelter was interminable) but CarolDaryl always deliver. Refreshing to seem them in the urban environment too. They did a great job with the sets.

Figured we would see Noah again, now we're pretty much caught up with all the timelines it seems. Ready for Rick and co to get back in action and drop the hammer on Don/Dawn next ep.

So Rick & Co were only a few hours' drive from Atlanta, still?  And now Abraham is half-a-day north?  They sure haven't covered much ground since Season 1...

That actually makes sense.  After they left Hershell's farm, they were basically scavenging around the same county until they found the prison.  And the timeline is that it's only been about two weeks since the prison was destroyed.
This is the way.

Really liked this weeks episode. And I'm really excited about how they are setting up the last two episodes.  Should be awesome.

I was wondering if it's the same tank, but thought not because that tank seemed to be in an open intersection whereas the S1 tank was in a section of the city surrounded by buildings.  I didn't want to say for sure it was the S1 tank then, but definitely noticed that there was a tank there.

Any thoughts on Darryl dragging his hand across the walker mouth?

I just took that as a "in the moment scare" not a "will we find something out in the future scare"
