I have nothing but praise and positivity for@cheesybirdmess. Thanks for putting these up.

 

I loved that Tyreese echoed Rick's talk to him, when Karen died...now he does the same for Sasha.

Glimpses (tiny) of Richonne

Maggie getting her groove back, but also still being able to be a caring individual (Abe & Eugene)

 

Daryl and the walker head. Ick. But cool.

Beth's moxie.

The sense of Abraham on the verge of being a cool character (instead of to me, so far, a caricature).

 

I love how Beth has grown. There was a question on the Story Sync about whether Dawn was setting up Beth. I think she did, but it hasn't played out yet.

 

I loved it when Carl was trying to help Gabriel figure out which weapon to choose.

 

Rick stating that he, of all the group, owes Carol more.

RICK

Maggie standing up to Abraham

RICK

Loved Tara and her quirky sense of humor

RICK

Carl wanting to teach Gabriel how to use a weapon (I have a soft spot for Carl, so of course I like this bit)

RICK

Enjoyed getting to know a little more about Rosita. Thought it was done in a great way and very concise. Along with that, nice to see her interacting with others rather than Abraham

RICK

Although he did not have a great deal to say this episode, I am really hoping that Noah sticks around for a bit.

RICK

And of course, Daryl's awesome walker beheading. I know I know many will scream ridiculous, but come on, it was AWESOME!

RICK

 

Ditto on everything you said, 100% agree!

The Rick mention was great...lol

 

Loved that Abe has the will to live. Tara's funny disposition on things. Glenn actually being pi*&ed at Eugene. Rick's reaction every time Daryl second guessed him. Beth being happy that Noah was causing a ruckus. And Michonne getting some baby love with Judith.

 

Yeah, but what about Rick?

 

OH and Tara's yoyo

 

Oh my goodness, each and every time SMG is on screen I fall a little more in love with her. She is going to unleash all sorts of whoop ass on Officer Bob. He better steer clear of her next week. Stone Cold Sasha will be back on the war path, and not in Tyreese's world of sharing a coke and teaching the world to sing

 

It was nice to see Rick, Carl, and Michonne. They'd been gone for 3 episodes. I was worried they'd been shumperted.

lol.

In a seriousness, I loved it. I liked the GREATM scenes. Especially Maggie, which is odd and perhaps even cause for concern. Most people probably know, to me, Maggie is on a very low rung on the ladder of characters I give a shit about. But I friggin liked her this episode. I felt like the whole scene was kind of a nod to the scene from the comics where

so I thought it was neat that Maggie put a gun to TV Abe's head.

Of course, I liked Carl trying to teach Gabriel how to denfend himself. You could tell he was thinking about his past-- the shelters they've had to leave behind when they fell. The camp, the farm, the prison. I liked how everyday this all seemed to him. "You wanna be able to shove, because sometimes the skulls aren't as soft--" lol. Like he was talking about skyrim or something.

I liked the Beth scenes. Even though

I really enjoy the suspense and the glimpse we're getting of life inside the hospital. I hope she gets to be the one to end Dawn.

And I really liked the rescue raid scenes. The planning. The strategy. I liked the little shootout (even though everyone apparently had aim worse than a blind squad of stormtroopers) and their taking the cops hostage.


Overall, I'd say this set us up for one helluva season finale. I'm liking the windage flags and Rick attempting a peaceful resolution. Looks like Sasha might just get her sniper scene after all. *crosses all fingers and toes*

 

Rick, as usual, was awesome.

Tara has a good sense of humour, and it's how she deals with what's going on around her. It's believable and relatable. I also love her yo-yo.

I like seeing Sasha and Tyreese together and how differently they deal with things. I also love seeing Sasha's sharpshooting skills show up. Sasha letting her guard down with Lamson sucks, but I'm still really excited for her next week

I liked seeing Maggie in hardcore mode with Abraham and how she dealt with him, and I like Rosita developing more. I like how she's using everything she's learned from Eugene and is still willing to forgive him. Same with Tara.

Beth was also great this episode. She'll never be the strongest character, but the growth into a stronger person is real and I really like seeing it. I'm sure she's going to help Carol (who is normally stronger, but in a weaker state now) in a big way next week.

I also do like Gabriel. Yes, he's extremely cowardly, is very naive and has a ton to learn, but that's a lot of the reason why I like him. He has such different values and morals from everyone else and he's been completely sheltered from the outside world. He's also still trying to cling on to his pre-apocalyptic values (same with the cops). Carl also having to teach him defend himself is great.

I'm also glad to see Shepherd, O'Donnell, Tanaka and Alvarado appear this week. Despite the people she's stuck with and the situation she's in right now, she's still obviously a good person. O'Donnell and Tanaka are, however, a bit clueless after not noticing Percy stopped coughing after Beth walked past him. Bello, however, was MIA this week.

 

YES to all of the above. I will be crossing my fingers and toes also. I WANT her to get that scene so badly.

 

Here it is:
I know you love this picture so why the hell not bring it back

 

OMG, I do love this picture so I concur...why the hell not bring it back

Let me just add this...,

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Rick was walking up with his hands up. I could see it happening. "I just want to talk. Is there any amount of talking that will get you to give us our people back?" "In all honesty? Probably not."

 

Yeah, I'm wondering how they could work that in. It can work, however, especially if Dawn believes she has the advantage on Rick. I'm also wondering how far away Sasha will be from Rick. Hopefully they're not too far away and she'll be able to hear him. It does seem likely that Dawn won't be willing to negotiate, however, leading up to that line. It just has to happen on the show. So badass.
