After withstanding a spectacular storm, Rick and the others meet what appears to be a friendly person, but find themselves mistrustful.On closer look, the walls in the photographs that Aaron has are not from the prison - whatever they are using in the pictures is a lot higher up on the walls than the logs or pipes they had at the prison.

(56,828 posts)I was getting up & eating breakfast at the hotel, and the NBA playoffs were on TV - 9am pacific time, but noon back on the East Coast.

(15,810 posts)I must wait until 9 pm to see it. In past seasons, I could watch it at 6 pm when it showed on the east coast. Not this season

NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)they're going outside to see the results of the Wonder Tornado
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)looks like Aaron get's a hard intro
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)for entrance to their community
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)sounds pretty tempting
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)and knocks him out.
hmmm, not sure about that move. No hurt in hearing him out.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)The look on his face while Aaron was speaking was priceless.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)saying how they were desperate food and water, but didn't turn on each other.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)He's right.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)interesting back story from Aaron - worked for an NGO in Africa
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)and then the rest trying to find hiding places.
Rick is getting pretty paranoid
Brigid
(17,621 posts)I'm sure I don't know what would.
but, he's going a little too far.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)having the guy to eat the applesauce first to make sure it's not poison

(5,604 posts)Dale's Winabago is back from the dead.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)good one
Brigid
(17,621 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)comes into play - way to go Dale.
Baitball Blogger
(46,737 posts)Funny how nothing more was needed.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)good episode overall - you got some history/backstory of Aaron & Eric, you got Michonne stepping up, and an interesting zombie fight in the dark.
Baitball Blogger
(46,737 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I could see Rick's point in not trusting the guy, but also thought he went overboard with the paranoia and by slugging the guy.
I liked that Michonne stepped up & questioned Rick, and that he went along with her decision.
The zombies at night scene was pretty intense. Liked that they gave us some backstory on Aaron & Eric, and that Rick changed when he saw them together, and then changed again (maybe) once he heard the kids playing behind the walls.
Baitball Blogger
(46,737 posts)I suspect we haven't seen the last of that gun that Rick stashed away.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)since they made it a point to show him leaving the group and then putting it in there, it's too big a set up to not have a payoff down the road - even if it's next season.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)she convinced everybody to go
Baitball Blogger
(46,737 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)and then the car won't start...
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)and are separated in the dark - of course. Glenn saves Aaron
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)gas guzzling carburated models. They must have lost their sponsorship from Dodge.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)maybe something a bit newer as well?
Hassin Bin Sober
(26,330 posts)Guns too. At least they finally upgraded. But the first seasons drove me up a wall. Come on, there are more guns than people in this fricken country.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)Glenn drove it. Not sure what happened to it, though.
Hassin Bin Sober
(26,330 posts)It was a Hyundai Tuscon and they flogged the commercials pretty hard.
Can't thy find a chevy or a ford dealer and get fixed up with a Tahoe or an Expedition?
My partner just read me a blurb about the Hyundai/Walking Dead relationship. The Hyundai had to be kept clean, couldn't be used as a weapon and, get this, couldn't break down. Lol.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)and, put something on the front like a snow plow to get walkers out from in front of your car - like the "cow catcher" on the front of those old trains. (probably not too many snow plows in Georgia, but you may find some in Virginia)
Or, just modify the Hyundai:
But, this would work for me:

(46,737 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I was thinking that maybe they turned around and headed up 16...
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)and they're all in the RV heading to Alexandria
Brigid
(17,621 posts)No telling what's really there, though.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)who knows how many thousands of walkers are roaming the streets?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)at the gates of Alexandria...and his face changes
Brigid
(17,621 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)really clean up well - Danai this week, Laurie Cohan last week.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)I really like her hair.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)there was some speculation that Rick/Andrew Lincoln was going to die this season because he was spotted clean shaven between the mid season finale and the second half premiere. I guess Rick is eventually going to get to shave once he is safe behind the walls?
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)which is when Rick gets a shave.
Baitball Blogger
(46,737 posts)You know that there is always a catch, because happiness does not make good entertainment.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)without spoiling a lot. The place is genuine as there are good people, safety and a doctor there.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)The women were kind of the voice of reason - Michonne, Maggie, Rosita and even Carol at the end
Brigid
(17,621 posts)and, I wonder if that change of expression on Rick's face indicates maybe he's going to lighten up a bit?
Brigid
(17,621 posts)I have a feeling that the next crisis to befall the group will come from outside the compound, not from whatever is inside.
Baitball Blogger
(46,737 posts)They seem to be getting bigger.
The next turmoil will occur inside the compound & you'll be astonished as to who's responsible. Probably will end with the cliffhanger till next October.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I'm guessing if [font color=white] Negan [/font] were to make an appearance, we'd have heard rumors of it by now. So, I'm guessing he won't be around until next season.
Scott Gimple does seem to follow the comics closer than Darabont or Mazzara, though, even with the nod to Wiltshire Estates (early in the comics) with Shirewilt a few episodes back.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Plenty of time for things to get interesting inside the compound and leave us with the "shocking" cliffhanger.
Now that they've reached the compound I don't think we get anybody else from the outside getting introduced for the rest of the season. The group has been outside long enough. I see all the action being inside the compound till the next season.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)next week is 5.12 - Remember - then, we have 5.13 - Forget. I have not seen the titles of the last 3 episodes, yet.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Not a complaint mind you.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)interesting news - maybe it will be a big show?
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/25/walking-dead-90-minute-season-finale-march-29
The Walking Deads season five finale will be an extended 90-minute episode airing March 29 at 9 p.m., AMC announced Wednesday. In the finale, Daryl finds himself in trouble while out on the run. Meanwhile, in Alexandria, Rick and his group continue to feel like outsiders as danger lurks near the gates.
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)Premiers and finale's shouldn't feel rushed, they should be packed with with twists and turns, action and depth. OTOH it might just be an extra 45 minutes of commercials.
