I really like the dichotomy of the last moments.  Dawn shows her true colors and refused to let the situation end clean.  Rick, as harsh as he had been earlier, was willing to let anyone on the other side join, regardless of his own feelings.

Dawn just had to win, and like Rick had established early in episode, all she had to do was stop.  Fortunately all the rest of the Grady crew was perfectly ok with stopping, otherwise we'd have an early end to the series with everyone dead in a hallway.

Spoiler.................

















That was one of the more pointless deaths I've seen in TWD. What did Beth think she was going to accomplish? Rescue was there, all she had to do was walk away. I get that she didn't want to leave Noah, but that could have easily ended in the deaths of the entire group. The writing has been so outstanding this season, I'm a bit disappointed in this particular death. One of the least shocking and meaningful cast deaths since T-Dog, simply because of how it was written.

The rest of the episode was pretty good. Rick is downright scary. Like Jax in Sons of Anarchy, Rick gets this crazy expression, this look in his eyes and you know murder is in his blood. I hate knowing it will be weeks before the series continues, but it will be interesting to see where the story goes from here.

Half season so far, Gus. The second half ( 8 more episodes ) start in Feb. And yes, it is available on Amazon, but not Prime. It's  $1.99 an episode for standard def.

Dammit

The Walking Dead kicks off tonight and writers, producers and actors are calling it a "brutal", "kick-ass", "f***ing nuts" second act. There are also rumors/hints of another major death, possibly even in tonight's episode. The forecast is bleak: more pain, more heartbreak, more over the top zombies, more adrenalin fueled moments and somewhere down the line, maybe a little hope. The show has definitely found it's groove and, with Sons off the air, there is no show I look forward to more than The Walking Dead.

Bring it on!

Potential spoiler question:





Do you know if tonight they reach DC?

[GDS_Starfury]

doubt it highly.  and even when they do its not a happy place.

[GDS_Starfury]

I can say this much...  whats going to happen in DC has already been foreshadowed with a specific character.

Gus, remember they are in Atlanta at the end of episode 8.  It's a ten hour drive today;  toss in the end of the world, limited supplies, scrounging for fuel, zombies and maybe other crazy survivors and I don't see them arriving anytime soon. But I'll be surprised if DC isn't their destination, especially considering that the preview has Rick discussing taking Noah home to Virginia.

A show runner gives some idea of the future.

So I could be wrong as they put 500 miles behind them in one episode, lol. I guess the good thing about the zombie apocalypse is no rush hour....providing the highways aren't blocked with the undead already.
