So glad the doctor died. There has been some very annoying characters in this show and she has to rank highly on the list.

But why would they shoot the only unarmed person in the group? Makes absolutely no sense.

Soooooooo-oooooo obvious something bad was going to happen to the person giving a motivating speech as the camera lingered on them

Dwight said he was aiming for Daryl but couldn't control the crossbow because of the kick.

I'm sad that Denise got hers, I also loved her budding friendship with Daryl. Eugene has been one of my favourite characters for a while. I liked that he did to Abraham what Abraham did to Rosita although he went back on it in the end. I thought I saw a glimmer of Abraham getting that as well.

All in all a very good episode.

The one who shot the doctor wasn't that the one who stole Darryl Crossbow, , was his face burnt in the earlier episode he appeared in, I cant remember, sorry

I actually liked her , sorry she wont be back , she hardly got time to blossom in series though.

Glad Darryl's got his crossbow back.

I wasn't mad on Denise, so I'm not too bothered that she's gone. They seem to have killed off a lot of the Alexandria crew, but I can't see us getting through this season without at least two major characters dying.

I don't think that's the last we've seen of Carol. I find her story a bit odd. It seems strange that someone who's been so strong up until now suddenly decides she's got an issue with killing. I know why she feels that way, but it doesn't really ring true. As someone else suggested, maybe the actress has a reason she needs to take a break and the writers didn't want to kill off the character so went for this clunky plot instead.

Dwight's toast. No doubt he'll get his comeuppance in the finale.

A Rick-less episode feels strange. I suppose they wanted to focus on the other characters for this one, but not seeing him or Michonne just feels weird.

Ah right, thanks. Must've missed that.

I assumed he wanted Daryl alive. In that case, why on earth didn't they just shoot them all to pieces? Stupid.

So where are they taking all the weapons, it actually looked like they were all leaving for a moment?

Several cars and the RV all lined up as well.
Planning for a quick exit if the place gets overrun again (in the same way they had a bus ready at the Prison)

Weapons are being spread around the compound so can be accessed more quickly (it also means an enemy grabbing the armoury won't get all your weapons)

So glad the doctor died. There has been some very annoying characters in this show and she has to rank highly on the list.

See below.

He was in the episode briefly, one word

All he said was that he wasn't aiming for Denise so while it could have been Darryl he was aiming for it could also have been Roseeta (quite likely given he was going to leave Darryl till last when he talked about killing them in order)

As Dwight said he needed the survivors to take them back to Alexandria and let them in.

They kill one person to shock the others into doing what they want.




Surprised Carol went the way she did. As others have said it may be the actress wanted to leave but they've kept the option open for a return.

Then again having her leave and come back to save the group would just be a repeat of Terminus so if she does come back at some point it would have to be in a very different way.

Exactly.

They never should have let her go out.

I have never fired a gun, but wouldnt they hit a man standing in plain view, right across the train tracks? Both Rosita and Daryl had automatic weapons, yet they took for ages to hit anyone.

I noticed the same in the episode where Rick et co attack Woodbury. They must be lousy shooters, as they stood still, in hiding, armed with automatic weapons, and still did not hit anyone.

It's 'ATeam' gun fighting.

Well that was frustrating but I guess just like real life sometimes even smart people make really dumb decisions.

I can see why Eugene would want to prove himself as a badass zombie-killer because he doesn't really do much but Denise didn't need to prove anything, to herself or anyone else. As Alexandria's only medic she was already an invaluable member of the team. And as it turned out she was even surplus to requirements for the pharmacy run as Daryl and Rosita simply took everything anyway.

Still, Daryl got his crossbow back so it wasn't all doom and gloom. And there were a couple of good exchanges between Abraham and Eugene to lighten the mood a little.

And I don't get why Carol has gone all weird after being such a tough cookie. I'm not sure if I've missed something but I can't really see why her conscience is suddenly so troubled by killing people. She's known all along that it's "you fight or you die". And now she's off for the second time

So many things happened because of that orange pop.

They lost a truck full of supplies, met Jesus, went to his camp, got sent to fight the Saviors.

And this week, the doctor got killed, the others got ambushed and Eugene shot.

All because of the pop! Who wanted it anyway, the doctor's girlfriend?

In the show she's off on a 2 week mission (her and Heath left 2 episodes ago) and in reality the actress was pregnant.

I don't really get it either... But I blame Morgan. Clearly he has had some influence on Carol even though most people seem to ignore him and his stance on whether or not it is acceptable to kill peole. Maybe she was more susceptible to it because she's been 'acting' like a tough cookie all this time? I felt like she never properly dealt with her grief after losing her daughter and those two girls (one of whom she had to kill) and after that she hardened her attitude and put on this tough exterior for a long time but who knows what is going on in the inside?

Seeing Morgan at the end, I reckon he thinks he is to blame for Carol doing a runner and next episode he'll be off to find her and bring her back. I hope nothing bad happens to Carol because she is one of my favourites. Couldn't care less about Morgan anymore to be honest. I preferred him how he was when Rick first met him.

I remember her leaving (and also thinking - huh? Two week mission? Bit specific, no?!) but this seems clumsy to have her dead and buried without Tara even knowing! Are there no freezers in Alexandria?!

Good episode but had a feeing Denise would die when she wanted to go on a supply run, they teased us in the store then again with the zombie in the car and then it happened when you least expect it. But I liked her, so sad to see Denise go.

Was a slow episode but I don't mind as I find them the most interesting and it's building up to the finale. As for Carol I guess if you kill as many people as she has, then you will either turn into an emotionless psychopath or show some signs of humanity and question yourself.

Seriously, no other show makes me feel so nervous watching it, but TWD has me so tense all the way through I'm almost relieved when the episode is over and I can relax again.

Do you pay attention while watching this show? They wanted Daryl and Rosita to get them inside Alexandria using Eugene as leverage. Albeit that probably wasn't a good plan anyway as I think they'd die before getting them inside.
