The Walking Dead Season 5

[ChrisL]

Yes, but he is Rick's friend, I thought.

That was a weird friendship. Didn't they fight? That guy is nuts. IIRC

I don't know because I missed the first season. I didn't start watching until season 2, and I haven't bothered to watch season 1.

Netflix! You gotta watch S1.

I've thought about it. Maybe one of these days.

LOL..not seeing the first season is sorta like reading a book and skipping the first five chapters. I am sure there will be a marathon soon as well. You can have a TWD date with JR

Sure. Sounds like fun.

I am always late into this thread since I watch the show on Monday nite without commercials.

1) There is a reason why she is filming them, don't know what that is...but it is something.
2) No way, no how did these morons and weaklings build that fence, and maintain all of the utilities. There are others that have not yet been revealed.
3) The houses are bugged. Guaranteed. These people watch everything.
4) When they went out for the "trial run" - they gave them pistols while they carried automatic weapons. Again, having an upper hand at all times.
5) Of course the zombie was planted. As well as the 4-5 others. Someone wants Rick dead.

This ^

Maybe someone that survived Terminus?? Or the Governor? hasta be someone that KNOWS him from previous interactions.

Remember the black guy from season one? They showed him at the mid-season finale at the very end...tracking Rick.

Morgan! He will show up sometime this season. Great actor and great character.

Morgan and his son Duane were in the very first episode of the series. When Rick gets out of the hospital and is wondering the streets, he runs into Morgan and Duane. Duane cracks him over the head with something thinking he is a walker. Morgan takes Rick in, gives him food, they break into the police station, take hot showers and steal guns. Rick leaves to find his family and they agree to stay in touch via walkie talkie!

But didn't they have a run in ---Season 2? They got in a fight over guns or something...I am trying to remember. Their last meeting wasn't so cordial. Morgan went crazy over the death of his son.

 

[Gracie]

I was wondering about Morgan. Duane died, and Rick did NOT stay in touch, so maybe he harbors a grudge even though they met up again when Rick was in that town with carrrrrrrrrrrrl. They left on good terms, but Morgan was still a bit ptsd'ish even then.

I think the girl that carrrrrrrrrrrrl thinks doesn't like him, took the gun. I also think blondie the hair cutter's hubby is like Carols ex. He seemed obnoxious when speaking to Rick from the porch. Not very friendly. I think he is going to be trouble...and might be hooked up with Deannas bully son for shenanigans.

From Wikipedia...I though I remembered an issue between the two

In the episode "Clear", when Rick, Carl, and Michonne go on a run into King County, Morgan holds them at gunpoint from a roof. They have a shootout, and while trying to pursue Rick, Carl ultimately shoots Morgan in the chest. Rick pulls off Morgan's shirt, revealing that he had donned body armor. They drag his unconscious-self into his building, avoiding his traps, and lay him down on a bed. For safety measures, his hands are bound by Rick. While Rick is reading the strange writings on the wall, he discovers that Duane had reanimated, and decides to stay and wait for Morgan to wake up. While Michonne and Carl go on a run, Rick waits for him to wake up, but Morgan grabs a knife that was taped to the side of the bed. He attacks Rick, claiming that he is not familiar with anyone anymore. He stabs Rick in the upper-left chest. Rick knocks the weapon away, pointing his gun at Morgan's head, and Morgan begs Rick to kill him. Morgan is tied up again and, after patching himself up, Rick finally manages to make him remember that the two know each other. Morgan says that he tried to contact Rick every morning for several weeks, but he never answered the radio, before explaining what happened to Duane. He is offered to join the group at the prison, but he realizes that Rick is taking a lot of guns, meaning that they are preparing for a war. Morgan claims that Rick, Carl, and his people will die either by bullets or by walkers, and refuses to join them, not wanting to see anyone else die. While clearing out the walkers caught on his traps, Carl approaches Morgan and tells him that he is sorry for shooting him earlier. Morgan remarks to Carl, "Don't ever be sorry." While leaving King County, Rick, Carl, and Michonne watch as Morgan prepares to burn the corpses of the walkers he captured.

Alright. I just finally got caught up last night. lol

Alexandria seems... Different. I'll be interested to see just where exactly the "other shoe" drops here, however. Will Alexandria ultimately turn out to be a sham, will its naive leadership and sense of hospitality lead the town to be invaded and destroyed by hostile forces, or is it the case that Rick and his group actually are the "hostile forces," and will their lack of trust eventually wind up getting them "tossed out of paradise?"

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. In any eventuality, I see that Aidan guy, and his group of "frat boy" cronies, causing trouble.

The infamous gay scene was unnecessary, IMO, but honestly sort of "meh" compared to what GoT regularly tries to pull. They kiss for 15 seconds, and then they immediately fade to the background.

A) That's not any different than the Lesbian character that was on the show before, and B) these kinds of situations are exactly what the freaking fast-forward/skip-ahead button on my DVR was made for.

 

[JWBooth]

It is indeed different. Now it could be a false front like terminus, or maybe something similar to the boss lady's story. They isolated themselves early and have no real clue what has happened outside.

What you see in Alexandria is not what you will get.
As I said earlier - no way - no how are these the people in charge.
I will remind you that she taped the interviews.

Yea. It certainly does seem odd that they've been able to accomplish so much with so few people, and a security force that basically seems to be a "good ole' boy" joke.

It's like the zombie apocalypse never even happened in Alexandria. It's got to be too good to be true.

Here is how I view the situation. They established a community with a strong foundation and strong security (which included her the leader's husband). A stronger neighboring community attacked and defeated them. They killed most of the strong members of the community, including the leader's husband.

She then sent Aaron on a mission to recruit some muscle that won't he a threat to the community. That is what the Grimes gang represents. It won't be long until that group makes an appearance.

Did she mention having a husband in the past? I must have missed that.

I am with you on this...the only thing that keeps coming back is why did she tape the interviews? IMO - for the real decision maker that for some reason doesn't want to be known.

 

[Gracie]

I'm as paranoid as Rick now. What he said in the last of last weeks epi of "we will take if"..I hope he does. He's craycray now, but at least with him, I would know I'd be safe. Paranoia in that world will save yer life.

When she mentioned how she got there to Rick.

My guess is she know her son is a dumb ass, but his small band of numbnutz is the only muscle the place has. That is exactly why she made Rick and Michonne the peace-keepers right off the bat and why Aaron was recruiting. In this world you don't recruit unless you have to.

That's a viable theory. Certainly we are all expecting something is not right in the community and that would be a workable plot.

Fifteen more minutes until it's on. Can't wait to see what happens. Something big has to happen soon.

Good point. Stronger groups than them have failed. This lady seems a whole hell of a lot more organized than Rick or the Govna though.

Or, at the very least, what the Gov's community might've looked like if it weren't run by an erratic ego-driven psychopath.

Still though, it is weird that their population seems to be so small. Surely, that giant wall of theirs' must've taken some pretty damn substantial man power to build, let alone guard.

I think the other theory is probably right. Something must have happened to thin out Alexandria's numbers.

The only question is what.
