I'm enjoying this season a lot, finally more walker action instead of Human vs Human. I was tired of that.
Walkers are a threat again, the show needed that.
I think the problem is that they're trying to tell a whole lot of story at the same time, and it gets a bit messy that way. So Rick trapped in the camper (great cliffhanger) gets postponed (probably for a flashback), but this does kill the cliffhanger suspense. They should have shown it now, keeping the adrenaline going. The same for Glenn, the follow-up shouldn't be postponed this long.
I think Maggie will not search for Glenn on her own, thinking of the baby. What were they thinking? Pregnant women and babies die in this WD world, unless you're Judith, who I think is an alien. She's like a magical baby. No flu, no diarrhea, no crying. I'd like to order half a dozen of those babies.
Maybe, if the group ever leaves Alexandria, Maggie will stay behind for the baby.
Mike's suggestion of the boat is great. Send the WD writers and e-mail, Mike. How about a cruise ship, you could even plant vegetables on the deck, raise some goats. If it's a military vessel, you could even have some sort of defense. An aircraft carrier! Yeah! Maybe with a chopper? It worked for Dawn of the Dead..

Iron's right. I meant Deanna's son, the guy who looks like a poor man's Kevin Love. He was the last on the tower and the blood is dripping down, not through the metal sheet.
Thanks for the clarity on the woman. They needed a scene with Michonne telling her. I thought his wife was the smoking woman the first Wolf killed. If ASZ people are offing themselves, it follows the Alpha/culling narrative they've been using for the past two seasons as a build towards Neegan. So it's an "Alexandria as Jonestown" metaphor.
Gorn - Kirkman's put himself in a spot where babies like Judith will have an antibody resistance to zombifying. Especially Judith who was in utereo when it started. I think that's why Kirkman openly regrets the CDC scenes; it makes them obey a set of laws even if it never makes it into a storyline. Kirkman seems very adamant in interviews about having the freedom to change whatever he wants.
I agree the ep jumps have killed the suspense. Maggie's sewer soliloquy fir me, felt confirmation Glenn was saved by Jesus. The dialogue was too fourth-wall "let Maggie talk directly to the audience so Glenn's return will come as a surprise and elation".
As for the boat, I think Fear is covering the basis of that idea next season.
That's another trend I'm noticing; the producers seem intent on debunking all fan scenarios. Eastman is meant to disprove a life of slash-n-burn. Pit traps, fortified walls, won't work. But what was really overt was the "Rick's plan was right, dammit" rant by Aaron that again, was directed as much at the viewer as it was the characters.
It bothers me as that's usually a producer tell sign. X-Files and Lost are the two big examples of where the showrunners felt boxed in by all the fan theories, so they started diverting their story ideas just to be contrarian. Pretty much guarantees Glenn doesn't get whacked by Neegan. Obvious choices are Morgan and Abe, but I could see Aaron.Comment

Gotcha... Deanna's son.... Makes sense.
I think a boat is a viable option, but it requires fuel and maintenance. I think most of us could find reasonable places to hold up against lumbering zombies, but keeping well armed groups at bay would be a completely different deal.Comment

I took this to be blood or zombie yuk oozing THROUGH the wall. Indicating a mass of zombies converging on that spot, and literally crushing the few closest to the wall, pushing them against and through a crack or weak spot. Something Deanna might have seen and reported, allowing them to reinforce tht spot and off a few zoms on the outside. Instead she wanders around dazed and confused. She is not making it out of this season for sure. If even out of the first half of it.Comment

I was really wanted another hit of Walking Dead, so I plower through Fear the Walking Dead. Confirmed my initial reaction when I first stopped watching after two episodes. There really isn't a single character I care about on that show like I do on The Walking Dead.
And yeah, it looks like they are exploring the Boat thing on that show.Comment

Michonne telling Maggie (while Deanna was surveying) at the beginning about Glen was so low volume on my tv that I never heard it but saw it on the captions. Was the wife (that committed suicide) who lost her husband beside them? I think we found out it was the wife on Talking Dead?Comment
