Yeah Carl has now become de-sensitized to the whole new way of living, explaining it to the Priest was just a normal conversation to him.
I agree about Rick, you can see him developing through each series and how he has been shaped through each experience

 

Yeah the girls are always reasonably styled, at least with their skin and hair. Realistically, they would have flaky, rashy skin, welts and mosquito bites, sunburn probably, oily hair, maybe dandruff lol. But those are not attractive things to see. lol.

A friend of mine actually mentioned how chunky Tyreese got in comparison to how he was when he first started the show. It wasn't something I had noticed... I know Daryl got more muscle toned compared to the first season! He had no muscle in season 1, now he's ripped!

I do think Ricks beard makes him look very "wild" and suited for this Apocalyptic world and the storyline they are telling with them being 'on the road' without a proper homebase and time to think about personal grooming etc.

I think Carl is very realistic these days, as well. It's good that he seems to still maintain his hope and willingness to help people, but knows that things need to be done to protect your own, too. It was interesting he took the initiative to try and teach the Father to defend himself.

I think the conversation he had where he was saying something along the lines of "You can't stay in one place for too long" was showing that he doesn't necessarily think it's safe to stay in one place anymore, and doesn't want to be tied down to a place like they were at The Prison... He sees the dangers of doing that, and getting complacent... So it'll be interesting if the group finds another safe-zone and seeing how he reacts to that.

 

I'm looking forward to see Carl grown further throughout each series, he really is growing up and learning from his experiences

 

Rick's definitely adapted to the ZA life. He's grown a lot more ruthless, hence Daryl's 'Three hostages are better than two' line.

Little off topic but do you guys he would've shot him if Daryl wasn't there?

 

Possibly would have shot him, he didnt think twice before gunning down the termites

 

Yeah I think he would have... it was apparently this guy was too much of a wild card to play along with anything they wanted him too... I can't remember but was that the same guy who then went on to trick Sasha ? If so, his instincts were right...

 

No i think they were two different guys... The guy that double crossed Sasha, i think he will end up helping Rick and the crew he seems decent but like he'd panicked and he needed to get to the action to be involved!

While we are on the subject of that scene, come on Sasha you fool, we could see that coming!

 

True but the termites ate a guy's leg, the cops just kidnap people. Still pretty bad but not punishable by death since they don't outright torture and kill.
Then again, cross Rick's crew and you'll regret it :zombies_lol:

 

Yeah i completely agree, although i understood his attitudes in previous seasons as he aged it was starting to get quite annoying. really starting to like Carl from kind of mid season 4 onwards...

 

agree about Rick. His appearance, especially from last season onwards has really gone 'apocalyptic' with the beard, hair but also the way he walks. Just seems that more determined and focused in his stance. Looking back at the premiere season 1 ep recently... And he really did have that Englishman's tan (ie. pale white)... Now it's outdoor survival tan. Not many of the characters show that.

 

Ah right, Noah would have told them. Don't know why but I keep thinking Rick and Co. only know they're kidnapping people.
Need to watch the episode again, was too distracted >.<

 

I agree that the aging is a bit of an issue. But showing a kid growing up in the ZA is an important part of TWD. In fact, Kirkman said that TWD is ultimately Carl's story. I guess we will need another time jump soon to explain Carl's growth spurt.

 

I'm sure everyone saw it coming a mile away xD
Was he handcuffed or just tied up? The ties looked pretty strong. I'm just trying to think how you could possibly escape with your hands bound like that.

Are they far from the hospital? Is he just going to try his luck and book it straight back?
