Rick leads a risky mission for a possible small reward when the supplies run low and the group's mistrust of people grows.

(56,829 posts)the lone survivor?
mgcgulfcoast
(1,127 posts)i liked the gov.
Laffy Kat
(16,386 posts)And he wanted to kill Machonne. She is my favorite character, so the Gov. had to go.
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)I'd keep watching the show if it was all Beth.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)Now Daryl on the other hand . . .
Laffy Kat
(16,386 posts)And besides, Daryl has to survive so he can get together with Beth. I think that's sexier than with Carol (sorry, Carol lovers).

How does Rick react to Eugene and Abraham? Or, to Tara, who was with The Governor before?
Solly Mack
(90,785 posts)I'm thinking Glenn will speak up for her. She has earned some trust but maybe not enough for everyone. Maggie will be another problem once she knows who Tara is. It could be Maggie is forgiving because she helped Glenn survive. Maybe that'll be enough for Rick and the others. Maybe not. Rick loved Hershel...more importantly, he respected him.
Probably won't believe Eugene.
Abraham is a good fighter. That means a lot. Trust is another matter.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)it would mean a lot. That said, I think Tara might not be long for the show... no special insight or spoilers, just a hunch on my part.
Solly Mack
(90,785 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)we'll get some backstory from her that will make us feel sorry for her and her situation
Solly Mack
(90,785 posts)I already did feel for sorry for her and her family. For the Governor crossing their path.
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)I don't think there will be a Tara/Rick conflict, and she'll be dead within the next 5 episodes anyway.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)should be interesting.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)she needs it back.
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)But, we did get to see her take out a walker with an egg beater.

(56,829 posts)in the dark? Or, was he trying to be cool?
ohnoyoudidnt
(1,858 posts)After everything that has happened, he doesn't need to pretend to be cool in front of her by faking hearing/seeing something. He also mentioned it to Rick. Perhaps, they were hinting at something like that happening.

Brigid
(17,621 posts)Why are his clothes so nice?
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)I think?
Brigid
(17,621 posts)His clothes are too nice. And he looks like he just stepped out of a barber shop.Something isn't right.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)can borrow his razor?
(Andrew Lincoln caused a stir at a recent comic con when he showed up without a beard - people thought maybe he had died on the show?)
Brigid
(17,621 posts)Can't be sure, though.
alphafemale
(18,497 posts)Just sayin'
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)good point by him - they're strong enough to handle things if they go wrong.

(33,022 posts)fetid water and walkers
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)smell the sewer/walker stench. Smell-O-Vision
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)and, they're going to go down into it? I hope those cans are sealed really, really well.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)You can't smell TV?

(56,829 posts)they found him alone in the church, holed up by himself. Kind of a coward.

Brigid
(17,621 posts)Wow. Maybe Father Gabriel wasn't always such a wimp.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)similar to the graphic novels...
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)Is he covering up being bitten?
RIP Bob
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)he finally seems to be in a good place, and he goes & gets bitten. And, now he gets knocked out from behind. I don't think it was Morgan, either.
charlie and algernon
(13,447 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)and, it looks like you were right

(17,742 posts)Bob's infected leg was the one they cut off and ate, so they'll all turn but he won't?
ohnoyoudidnt
(1,858 posts)Hershel's leg was cut off immediately. Bob's leg was bitten several hours before. Maybe it was too late to save him.
Baitball Blogger
(46,757 posts)I think Bob is done. If they had seen a bite (and I'm not saying he was bitten because I'm only guessing) they wouldn't have eaten the leg. So I'm guessing he was bitten on the other leg.
I really think it was stupid, stupid, stupid to go into the water knowing there were zombies in there. May be a plot flaw.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)to go down there. Why couldn't they pick the zombies off from up above, and then go down into the water?
charlie and algernon
(13,447 posts)from the comics
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)and, it looks like they're going to give Bob the "Dale" death.
Baitball Blogger
(46,757 posts)At some point Bob is going to understand his situation and will, hopefully, die laughing.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)I liked Dale a lot in the comics, but he was annoying on the show - an older white male version of Andrea, who I also liked in the comics, but disliked on the show.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)they see the car that kidnapped Beth speed by?

(17,621 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)comic Tyreese going forward
Brigid
(17,621 posts)I think Father Gabriel is dangerous because he's so nice. He will be a hindrance if the group takes him along.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)unless he becomes a bit less of an albatross.
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)Like Beth did.... (sniff)...
Nooooooooooo!
ohnoyoudidnt
(1,858 posts)No one during the outbreak thought to come to the church for food or shelter before everyone died/turned, and how could he have kept them out? They could have busted through a door or window. His cowardice does appear to be real and could be a liability, but I think Rick is right. He did do something pretty bad, as the message on the church wall indicates. I'm tempted to start reading the comics.
Baitball Blogger
(46,757 posts)Which explains why everyone went to the supermarket where they were attacked.
Solly Mack
(90,785 posts)That's all I got this week.
Brigid

(90,785 posts)For Sasha.
Solly Mack
(90,785 posts)Ut, oh.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)that could mean a character death - probably Bob Stookey/Lawrence Gillard Jr.

I'm OK with him dying and getting the cannibals out of the way. I'm already tired of them.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)I think next week is Bob and his tainted meat.
Solly Mack
(90,785 posts)Especially with Daryl and Carol off chasing Beth...and that's another bad group of people to deal with.
Poor Bob. Can tainted meat sicken those who eat it?
NaturalHigh
(12,778 posts)According to World War Z mythos, yes. I don't know if it has ever been mentioned in The Walking Dead.
NaturalHigh
(12,778 posts)I specifically came back for No Sanctuary, and to be honest, it was too graphic for me. I only watched Strangers because it was on the DVR and I couldn't sleep.
I had mixed feelings about the episode, but I have to say this - in all honesty, who hasn't already figured out what the priest did? I had suspicions as soon as I saw the group looking around the church.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Looks like Rick is going to get the chance to keep his promise to Gareth. Better keep that red handle machete handy.
Any bets as to which members of this group finally put down the hunters? Comic readers know Rick has a "kill team" that takes out the hunters quite effectively. I'm thinking it'll be Rick, Michonne, Abraham and one more but I'm stuck as to who it is. Both Carol/Daryl are chasing the car so they're out. Hmmmmmm
