Discussing the show and past episodes is fine. Do not put things that have happened in the TV series in spoilers. However, don't spoil things from the books that may happen in future episodes. Put book spoilers in spoiler tags with a CLEAR WARNING that it is from the book. |

Why did Glenn go off chasing that guy? Seems reckless and pointless to me. Great episode though!

I'm really really annoyed Glenn didn't kill that guy.

We don't know. The Wolves are a mystery since this is the first time we gotten to see them. In the past couple of episodes, they've been teased starting with the episode of Noah visiting his neighborhood community to now. Fans speculate that the 2 guys were one of the 3 people that were exiled from Alexandria due to them being messed up in the head. The Wolves believe in the story of how settlers gave bounties for the Native Americans, so these guys are trying to mimic that. Also, "the wolves are back", either means these 2 guys or the wolves being the zombies.

+ Show Spoiler +The Wolves in the show is pretty much the TV counterpart of the Washington DC scavengers. Same with how the people of Terminus was a TV counterpart of the hunters.

So, Morgan is a ninja now. I'm cool with that.
Rick is back being the bad-ass truth-teller with a plot that conveniently shows everyone that he's been totally right all along. Meh. Really curious how things will develop between Morgan and Rick, though.
Also, is it just me, or did Sasha being all angsty and suicidal come kinda out of nowhere?

They made a big deal out of it the last few episodes, sure, but before that they didn't put a whole lot of emphasis on it. The timing was just off, much like with Maggie and her sister previously.

The walkers showing up was pure plot working that way, but Carol specifically and purposefully riled Pete up into a frenzy just to make him do something crazy and prove Rick right. Even without the Walkers, she ensured that Pete would be there and be pissed enough that the group would have to accept that Rick was in the right.

I like what Carol's doing, in fact. But the accidentally-slashing-a-guy's-throat bit was a bit too convenient for me. They should've at least get him crazy enough to intentionally kill someone in his rage.

I don't exactly think that was an accident but I could see how it could be interpreted as such.
The one thing that bothered me/didn't make a ton of sense was the priest. I get that he's been kind of always mopey and useless, but what was the purpose of going out to strangle that walker? What was the point of leaving the gate open? Like other people's craziness (rick, sasha, etc) make sense and they follow a consistence logic. The priest doesn't really seem to have any. Like even if he wanted Rick's crew gone, what was the purpose of leaving the gate open?

I really wish the show would stop with the foreplay and get on with it. We need a real villain. Not some stupid drunk dad, not some bozos with tattoos. We need.... + Show Spoiler + Anyways, I actually liked the fact that Glenn didn't kill that dude. I think he has a lot of room for character development. Or just end up zombie fodder next season like Noah... And what father Gabriel doesn't realize is that he's immortal until another black character is introduced into the storyline. I hope he turns into a total badass. Priest with a deathwish, awwww yeah.

I don't understand anything that fool does anymore. He's had such divergent ideas towards the group and his own survival that nothing he says even makes sense in the context of his actions. His walking out to find a zombie and saying "I'm ready" seemed to indicate suicide, but then he had a last minute change of heart for no good reason. Leaving the gate open seemed unintentional, he was kind of in a daze (again, for no good reason). I hate this character even more than Lori's ghost.

I wasn't impressed with the last few episodes that aired but the finale was good and my expectations are up for the next season. Bit cheesy at the very end but yeah...

Really? It seems rather obvious he doesn't think any of them deserve to live because of the things they've done to survive, but he's too afraid to actually kill himself. That's why he's so passive aggressive.
He was in a daze because he failed to kill himself. Again, if I'm not mistaken. He wants to live, but thinks he deserves to die, causing a strife within himself.
I mean, there's lots of things you can complain about with the show, but how the priest is acting isn't one of them.

I think this is just a general feeling audience have towards characters that complain/not competent/rely on others/weak etc. People don't like watching whiners no matter how legitimate their complaints are. Skylar from Breaking Bad, Sansa from Game of thrones, Season 3 Claire from House of Cards all received hate from audiences for this same reason.
Fuck I watch too much tv...

I haven't scrolled up to see and anyone has said it yet.
But having Morgan channel a bit if Denzel Washington / Book of Eli is good.

I'd say people don't like whiners in real life either :p, not just characters

lolwut. Sasha started showing signs of PTSD and suicidal tendencies since Bob died. It started building right after Tyreese died, and the episode following with the group traveling on the road with little food and water. It only got worst when the group arrived to Alexandria and Noah dying. She regrets what she said to Noah the episode after Tyreese died. I think her development was fine.

Sick episode - I really like where they've left it. Town consensus (decided to lynch the surgeon), parallel almost-killings by Sasha and Glen was an interesting setup, Morgan comes back after a long time, Rick going to get the lady.
I'm glad they didn't try to rush anything with the wolves. They've set the arc up nicely for next season and given a great taste of how cruel they are, from the ambush, traps, leaving the bodies around, etc.
Carol's manipulation and maneuvering through the town politics is great. "People like me need people like him". She's playing them so hard haha. Her relationship with the kid is intriguing as well.
Rick is interesting and not always acting super-intelligently but everyone realizes they still need him because he knows all the shit.

My point is that all his actions kind of don't seem to have any logic. Him telling Deanna seemed to indicate he wanted to kill Rick's crew or at least get rid of them, not kill himself. His bit with Sasha seemed to play into the suicidal coward bit but it was kind of all over the place, whereas the rest of the characters have their own consistent logic.
