First I thought the walkers at the barn entrance was a dream sequence...the way they cut to the commercial and came back to show Maggie just waking up while everyone else was still asleep (except of course Daryl). Then her and Sasha walk outside and there's all that devastation.
I didn't even realize it was a tornado the first time I watched it through, I thought the storm just brought the trees down (had something similar to that happen in the complex I was living in. Had really heavy rain for a few days and then a very strong windstorm came through and tore out/toppled nearly every tree in the complex. Looked like a war zone).
It wasn't until my partner asked if I had "missed" all of the walkers up in the trees. So we backed it up and watched it again, and sure enough there were walkers up in the trees that were still upright and for a brief second (or two) you could clearly see the path of destruction. So I'm willing to give a very slight pass on this since we all know that tornadoes are a strange phenomenon that can sometimes take out one trailer while leaving the surrounding ones completely unscathed.
What I found amusing is:
"Hey. Hi. Look. I...didn't mean to interrupt. Good Morning. My name is Aaron. I know, Stranger Danger...but..umm...I'm a friend. I'd like to talk to the person in charge. Rick, right?"
"How do you know..."
"Why"
"I have good news"
And then the tiny little ballerina dances in glorious celebration!!! Funny stuff!
Which brings me to Aaron. The man is handsome, intelligent, spotless, meticulously groomed, sensibly dressed for the day's specific conditions, sensitive to the women's apprehension, calm & reassuring. I turned to my partner and said...well at least we know that one male homo survived the Zombie Apocalypse. (He's been an avid reader of the comics for about 10 years now and refuses to give away any spoilers from what he's read), he just looked at me and said "what makes you say that?" So I said what I stated above, and he goes, "you picked up on all that, but didn't see a single freakin' walker in the trees?". I said, "I have amazing powers of observation. The amazing part is just how selective they can be". He refuses to confirm my speculation (which I completely appreciate, I like watching things play out for myself)...but I'm fairly certain that I'm right on this. Guess I'll have to wait to next week to see for sure.
