Why they think they can trust anybody from the hospital is beyond me. Tie 'em up and go and get Carol and Beth (feel free to forget to get Beth though, she annoys the shit out of me).

The set up for that guy escaping at the end was so obvious and awkwardly executed imo.

Good episode, i think the show is best watched in 3 hour sets because if you combine 3 last episodes then it becomes even better. Might have to start watching this once a month :p

Rick might've been a decent cop, but apparently had zero training in hostage situations to not see this coming. Gag em, trade em, no one talks to them ffs.

Also that's one magical nail to fall to the ground and stay upright :p

I think you're right, the whole thing makes much more sense when you watch it in at least 2 or 3 episodes at a go.

I have the same problem. I know I would enjoy it more if I saved the episodes up but I can't really wait. I also find that if I watch too much zombie stuff then it starts to mess with my head lol

I think that's the first episode of the Walking Dead that ever got me right in the feels, I was not expecting that.

Without doubt the best thing on TV, close to saying ever.

I don't really understand why she stabbed her with the scissors. I don't understand why that guy agreed to stay either.

Cos she had a god complex, that's why she asked for him, she always had to win, and that's why she stabbed her, because she knew she had a god complex, and she HAD to fuck up her life by requesting Noah, who she clearly liked. Noah, like a good man should, decided to take the easy route when you're inbetween two girls beef. Although I don't know why he decided to stay after they both died.

Morgan's on the case!

Compared to other mid season finales this was a bit of a disappointment tbh.

But when Carl nearly got raped in front of his dad, that was just fine and dandy right? :) That's the scene that sticks with me.

Beth was utterly disposable as a character, she was barely ever even a regular on the farm (the whole suicide thing is all I remember of her). Something had to go wrong with the exchange, I was surprised that they killed Beth but it makes up for nobody getting so much as a scratch escaping from Terminus at the start of the season.

Yup, Americans can't cope with good TV over the xmas period.

Without commenting on the plot etc; It was good if i take into consideration past 3 episodes(personal pref). Would be interesting to see where it goes from here, but guess we'll see in 2015.

Another death due to characters making stupid decisions. You would think that after surviving that long they would be in the routine of clearing a whole house before getting distracted and staring at photos on the wall. I guess there needed to be more deaths though; the group was getting pretty big.

How long is it since all this began? There is never any dust on the pictures. No spiders. No cobwebs. No rats. No bats.You only have to leave a house in France or Spain for a few weeks and it gets taken over by all manner of things. Even came home from holiday to find a snake once. and the 'loirs' in France were a nightmare (giant dormice)

I think the "zombie nom nom nyom" budget was set pretty high for that one. And a very, very tense ending.

I wonder if the town survives by kicking out people who don't work out. I was thinking the construction bloke might be out on his arse next week.

I thought since they got into a town that is safe it would turn dull like the season with them living on the farm but it's still entertaining. Another good season if you ask me.

Watched it late into the week this one, excellent episode. I'm thinking the shit's going to hit the fan with Ricks' group though, firstly with that Priest stabbing them in the back and then the town-leaders son getting munched, the guy who run off will probably make a cock-and-bull story of how they killed her son, going to be interesting next week!

Saying that, i haven't seen the trailer for next week. Mmmm

I think you're right. Also Rick and Carol have those stolen guns and Carol has been threatening that kid. In previous seasons it's all been about how other groups they have lived with have turned out to be not what they seem. But I think this time, it's that Rick's group are turning out to be the one's who can't be trusted. They're probably going to accidentally destroy this community and then realise they've become what they hate or something.

That was a bit east-endery, oh well, I suppose we all saw it coming.

I kind of enjoyed the first episode the best, also the one (and that's probably what you've been referencing, the one where Daryl and the girl burns down the cabin. Three episodes into season 5, is it any good?
