Episode was fine, but Glenn should be dead. The writers lost a lot of credibility (if they had any left) by resorting to this cheap mechanism. These kinds of cliff hangers are so played out, and they went above and beyond.

I got the impression from the first season at the CDC that the government didn't really exist anymore. I'll have to go back and watch but I want to say that doctor said his CDC center was the last one standing.

Now in reality I'm sure some of the higher ups did get swept away into a bunker, but I doubt it will ever show that. The comic hasn't even gone there.

I thought he was just talking about CDC and infection control agencies worldwide...not all government agencies. Jmo of course

There are so many instances where TV shows stray from realistic/reasonable to far-fetched and impossible… as long as I am entertained, I don't really have a problem with it. I enjoyed Buffy the Vampire Slayer immensely even though the writing was not even remotely credible…

It is a show about a zombie apocalypse...it may just be a little unrealistic at times.

I survived a car crash once where the damage was so bad that I should have died about 4 different ways...needed stitches otherwise unharmed... Sometimes real life doesn't follow the rules :)

When we were introduced to the Governor, he was wiping out some military types...seemed organized.

Yeah, poor choice of words. What I meant was even if the doctor thought everyone was gone and everyone else thought they were gone, some remnants of the government is hiding away somewhere.

Last night I said to my husband "That's not real life." The look he gave me. LOL

But yeah, I agree with you.It didn't happen like a bomb. It developed.

Know where the nearest National Guard Armory is here butchna...just in case :)

OK so there are three in Fort Worth, one in Saginaw, one in Grand Prairie. Those are probably the ones closest to us… Again just in case :hi:

I thought this episode was fine. I'm actually OK with how Glenn survived. It wasn't really any more absurd than the way other people survived even though it looked like they got overrun. At least they showed how he got away.

So a few things...

Enid isn't with the wolves as many believed. I never really subscribed to that theory anyway.

I like that Glenn found the dude's note to his wife. It was sad when he didn't make it and Michonne had forced him to keep it before. (Still don't understand why they just watched him get eaten but whatever)

Rosita is a hard ass. I'm glad she got in Eugene's face.

Also glad Morgan got called out but I wish we had seen more of what happened when Carol confronted him the second time.

What caused the tower to fall? Were walkers going up in it making it unstable? Seems like someone would have noticed the structure integrity giving way before hand.

Overall I think this has been a pretty decent season and aside from the Glenn drag out I've been pretty happy with the pacing. It's all been better than the Hospital story line from the first half of last season or the first half of the farm season.

And while Glenn thing seemed like a cheap gimmick it did what it was meant to do which was generate conversation about the show.

So who do you guys think die next week. I'm not sure I think a real big character does yet. I'll say Deanna and Ron along with a lot of nobodys.

Yes, it's the zombies in combination with what appears to have been some kind of fire that took place well before Rick's group got to Alexandria. At one point in the episode they showed the crumbling building then panned over to the hoard of zombies walking towards it.

What has me puzzled is the one building they showed had what looked like a giant gash in it, not like it was splitting apart but larger like something crashed into it.

I think both Eugene and Rosita buy it. Something about that machete exchange. Son of Porchdick for sure.

Like most, the Glenn thing pissed me off. Then, adding insult to injury, that huge mob of trapped walkers that were on top of Glenn just magically disappear after awhile; allowing him to casually emerge with only a mild case of dehydration.

How many dumpsters that have legs like a friggin coffee table have yall seen?!

This show has lost its sack; it is becoming like a dang soap opera now.

Not defending it but I saw at least one guy tweet him being able to fit under a dumpster.

I can see that. Hopefully Eugene. His lines are just cringeworthy. I think Deanna just because she seems to be pulling herself together and thinking about the future.

I didn't think of this until now. I'm not sure I'm right without looking back, but did that truck that sounded the horn hit the building?

I'm not in the group calling the writing crap. I'm laughing at you guys pissed that Glenn is alive. It's not completely outrageous that he survived. I'm still more pissed at that damn van scene than anything else I've seen on this show. What will really be stupid is if they did all of that with Glenn only to kill him shortly after. That will be complete dumbassery.

I honestly can't remember. Did they actually show what that truck hit before it hit the wall?

Right with you Swil. Magically a horde of what looked like 50+ zombies went away after he stabs like two. This show used to be good for being on the edge now it cowers to th masses. I don't even pay that much attention to it anymore when I watch. Just following the plot at this point and that has become stale. Prob the last season for me
