I think she has a plan ,I dont think she knows exactly what that is but She looks to be playing him . At least I hope she is

 

Salazar had a gun but others had more guns trained on more people. The fact that he didn't blast away showed he wasn't willing to sacrifice or risk sacrificing everyone - his own daughter included - means something. I dunno what! Maybe he's considering these more of a family than not? Maybe he acknowledges that he needs to keep more folks alive in His Group than fewer? "We don't need Strand," he said so we know he's willing to sacrifice him.

And why oh why did Alicia make the bindings so good? Too bad IMDB lists her as surviving thru Episode 15.

 

And yet Ricks gang done more "Noob" errors in the last 2 seasons than these gangs done in 1,5 season I also blame that on bad writing when they want to push the plot forward.

 

Yes, Salazar at the moment of his arrival had options and did nothing. An option, too. Had he been on watch, his first question should have been "What's a small craft doing this far out? We were tracked 2 days ago and here's a motor launch that shouldn't make 10 miles by itself much less with a load of screaming, waving people. Fire a warning shot."

Of course, he'd have discovered he was outgunned - pistol vs rifle - at that point, but so? They're obviously trying to come closer, and if he'd thought about it, he might have correctly assumed they wouldn't shoot up a potential treasure. So a pistol at close range isn't a great reply for a rifle, but the rifle wanted to get within pistol range. Not the other way around. By this time, Strand would be up and scream "Where's the ammo clip?" and maybe Salazar's confrontation with him could reach an answer.

Yes, lotsa redemption points are out there. Like double-bonus greenstamps. They should be getting that coffeetable after this!

 

@Neuropyramidal @Cbcw76

Both great comments on Salazar's failure at securing the situation. I think of everyone on board at that moment, he should have had his radar up on this. Didn't he earlier confess to being a participant in government sponsored torture and political cleansing (mass murder)?

 

She's gonna kill them all I bet. Can't wait to see it.

 

Yeah. That'd be terrific. Of course, there's also chance she's gonna get Chris Hardwick killed.

 

I find the criticisms of Alicia to be disingenuous. Alicia can do no wrong.

 

I don't understand how any of the bad guys could believe they can trust her haha... I mean it's her FAMILY. Are they stupid? She is obviously going to have alternative motives.

 

Well when we see her in the preview she seems to be in a cage,so it does not look like they trust her to me?
I have an idea that they pretty much trust her to be a toy for them.

 

Ahhh I missed that! I knew it was strange how they seemed to have so much trust in her, we're up to episode 4 in the UK is that the same for elsewhere do you know?

 

I am pretty sure it is the same everywhere otherwise you should not be stalking this forum probably!
I don't know of the advertising is the same though,whether the previews are the same?

So far Alicia comes across as a stupid little girl and even if they trust here they would be wise not to trust her.

She did give up her own group without even realizing it so…….?

 

Well, Alicia is pretty stupid, repeatedly.

But here we are what? Less than a month after the outbreak ? And we already have some criminal mastermind ( Connor ) organising a bunch of amateur pirates that look like they escaped from a Starbucks that are down with military tactics and weapons ?

 

Not sure at all what you are saying here?
Which military tactics and weapons are you talking about exactly?

The Bleeding Pregnant Women ploy is not in any military doctrine that I can imagine and they took weapons from our group during the ploy too.

Alicia is mostly the cause of them being targeted in the first place plain and simple regardless how far into the apocalypse this is.

 

what a weenie she is.
i hope they figure it out.

boy. she really makes me mad sometimes.

 

Alicia is taking much longer to pick up on things. She is one of the youngest on the cast and her life up to the last month or so, was probably pretty care free and it seems she was pretty naive. I think she will beat the learning curve and quickly wisen up and be able to think and act on her feet quicker and better. If she doesn't, she won't make it much longer being this reckless.
