Haaa, what was that about at the awkward social party!
WOW

GET WITH THE PROGRAM SASHA AND ENJOY NOW WHILE YOU CAN!!
GEEZ!

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I don't blame Sasha for how she is behaving.   She lost Bob and here brother was buried just days ago if we use the timeline in the show.   The girl probably has a seriously case of PTSD.

I was surprised to see Rick kiss that girl on the cheek.  Not because I didn't think he should've done it... I have just been assuming he and Michonne are a couple for a while now.  I asked my friends and they didn't agree.  I was so sure I didn't even think it was a question.  They'd make a great couple.

[lexxy703]

Yeah Z, Rick is definitely going to stir things up.  I couldn't believe he kissed her.

Interesting.  I never got that impression.  I just think they trust & respect each other.  At the party Michonne seemed rather friendly with Abraham.  He seemed pretty drunk.

[ZaireinHD]

now that Rick has choices (kinda) of different women - looks like he has made his choice.
LOL
but Rick and Michonne as a couple - nah not gonna happen - even with how close her and his son became so close. it was always a level of trust then romance

[ZaireinHD]

that Talking Dead show was pushing Darryl and Carol as a couple!
I was like ewooo no way! nasty!

[lexxy703]

This week's episode was really interesting & exciting.  Things are going to start getting crazy in Alexandria.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I thought that "confession" was really uncalled for by the minister.

If he hadn't had his spiritual crisis and insist on running off to go see Bob's foot on the grill (and thus leading all those school walkers to the church), things would have been fine. He put Carl, Michonne AND Judith at risk with his actions. Carl and Michonne freaking saved his ass.

And now that he's put that bug in Deanna's ear all hell is going to break loose. She's going to see what she wants to see. Glenn coming back without her son is going to confirm everything the minister claimed.

Even though it wasn't Glenn's fault. I agree with the actors on Talking Dead, the people of Alexandria are soft, they have no clue how to operate in the world as it exists now.  That's why they run every time there is trouble and do stupid shit like keep walkers chained to trees on meat hooks.  That's why Deanna won't listen to Rick about posting armed guards on the walls.

It was only a matter of time before Deanna's son died, IMO. I could tell that from his first appearance on the show.

I will say it's about damn time Eugene! I was thrilled to see him finally grow a set of balls and do his best to save Tara, he kinda owes everyone.

Didn't the preacher originally save himself by locking his congregation outside the church?

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

Yep. So he is hardly a saint. I'd consider what he did to be more unspeakable than anything Rick's group has done. 

The majority of the things Rick and Co have done have been in the name of keeping the group together/alive. 

The minister abandoned his entire congregation to save himself.

DH kept saying that the minister is the devil in disguise.

[lexxy703]

Damn Drama, you summed it all up perfectly.  I don't think Deanna totally believed the preacher guy but when they come back without her son she is going to have a serious case of doubts.  Things are going to get very tricky.

And for the record her son's friend is a douche.

I think Deanna's hold on the town is more tenuous than it appears.  Why would she let the town doctor be a drunk?  They ration the chocolate why not the alcohol?  And why doesn't anyone else realize he's beating his wife?  And oh boy is Rick going to take care of that situation.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

Why would she let the town doctor be a drunk?

I was thinking the same thing. But then I thought about the doctor in Dawn's community.

Doctors are probably in pretty short supply right now, so if you are able to find an actual doctor you'd be willing to overlook a lot of sins in order to keep them.

That would be my guess.

I am sure Alexandria is not as idyllic as it seems. We've already seen that their solution to trouble is to run and abandon your group to fend for yourself. They also can't shoot worth a shit, which makes it even funnier that they keep offering to teach Carol about guns.

The minister fits right in. I can see how Rick, Abraham and Glenn do not fit in and the group creates tension. As Maggie pointed out, we've been out there and we survived, that's why you wanted us brought in.

[lexxy703]

Abraham earned his place in the community.  I think his actions are going to go a long way in keeping the group in the town's good graces.  Rick & Glenn's not so much.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I think the issue is he is in a position of power. With the minister putting that bug in her ear I can see how she will become paranoid that the group is getting ready to stage a coup.

She already mentioned to Maggie that there are now three of her group in positions of power at Alexandria. Yet they just arrived mere days ago.

I think Glenn did his best, he tried to ensure the survival of everyone.  It's squirrely backpack dude that should be punished.   Not only did he get Deanna's son and Noah killed, but he is also responsible for the death of the previous second supply run group (so was her son but he's already dead so he paid for his sins).

But if Deanna is thinking about what the minister said I don't see things playing out that way, especially when she's going to have her thoughts clouded by grief.

[lexxy703]

I think the preacher has cracked.  He was always weak & barely sane.  The opening showed him ripping up the bible.  I think if it plays out long enough everyone will come to realize he is not well in the head.  But that will be for next season if they make it through the last 2 episodes without being banished.  I was so psyched during this episode I am so sad it is ending for the season.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I'm hoping they don't end up banished. I really think the show needs Alexandria.  I feel like there is only so far they can go with "Rick vs bad guys on the road". 

Alexandria gives the plot a lot more to work with b/c we are seeing the difference between people who have been able to hide all this time vs people who have lived it.  I find it a very interesting conflict.

I don't think Deanna will be in power much longer for one reason or another.

The preacher has totally cracked. And he should freaking crack, he allowed his entire congregation to die in order to save himself.

He can go on and on about Rick, but everything the group has done has ensured the survival of everyone else in the group.

What has the preacher done besides put people at risk so he can go on some pointless spiritual quest?

It makes me think of the saying "He who is without sin shall cast the first stone". Preacher needs to stop throwing rocks.

Maggie overhead what he said to Deanna, I am interested in how that will play out.

The preacher is projecting... And D seems to have enough shrink in her, she should notice...

[lexxy703]

I agree the show needs Alexandria.  The constant walking was getting a little tedious.  The show has always been better when they had a "home". 

The preacher has been nothing but a liability to the group.  They will not tolerate him turning on them & trying to turn others.

She will but with her son being killed she may be more easily swayed at least when she first gets the news.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I think she notices the preacher isn't all there, but at the same time he does have a bit of a point.  The group has done unspeakable things in order to survive.

Alexandria is weak. We know Deanna knows this b/c she brought the group in stating it was b/c they are survivors and know how to operate in the "real" world.

If Rick's group were to stage a coup, they'd win.  His people are taking over positions of power from her people.  His people are still looking to him, not to her.  They are used to operating as a team and have taken down way worse threats than her.

It may be sinking in exactly what these people may have had to do survive and realizing they'd take her down too if need be.

Not quite Joe - 2 MORE EPISODES!

Edit:  Plus Sunday's 3/15 if you missed it.

[joemilitary]

Good to know.....thanks

[joemilitary]

Noah!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG this was a graphic episode.....

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

OMG this was a graphic episode.....


No kidding. I had to look away when Noah died.

[lexxy703]

Not me, I was riveted & up out of my chair.  I am sad he is gone before he got to start his architectural journey but that scene was graphic & riveting.

[joemilitary]

WTH is wrong with the minister?  He would be dead if not for Rick and the group......

Will be interesting how the return of the supply run plays out......of course backpack dude is going to blame Glenn for the death of D's son.......but I think the evidence (Noah dead, the other chick with her head hurt (forgot her name), fact that they know the people from the Alexandria safe zone tend to panic and act cowardly (from the Abraham incident), other supply run had casualties, etc.) will demonstrate it was just a situation that went bad

It will be bad if Rick or anyone from his group kills the doctor that's abusing his wife.......he is the only doctor.......

[lexxy703]

He's bat shyt crazy!

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

You'd be bat shit crazy too if you faced the fate you gave your entire congregation.

I think the chick in the food pantry was his wife, or girlfriend. Remember he had a picture of her that he was looking at afterwards.

Probably not exactly easy to live with yourself. Especially when you are a man of the cloth and supposed to PROTECT your flock, not send it into damnation.

I'm imagining he probably resents the crap out of Rick & Co for showing up and forcing him out into the real world.  It was probably easy to "live" with himself alone in the church.  Not so easy to confront nearly being eaten by your former congregation members.

If they hadn't shown up he could have lived in "peace" alone in the church. Now he has to accept what he has done and face his sins.
