at least it's not another Morgan exclusive episode

 

Thanks for setting everything up for us, Sharpie.

 

Bill’s seems like a well maintained store.

 

Um.....I liked Morgan's line about not waiting because that's how you lose people. A cool call back.

 

I liked this episode a lot because it adds great depth to John and Laura's characters and explains John's big motivation to find her. We still don't know, though, why she's hell bent on leaving John and subsequently the baseball stadium.

Very cool episode. Already liked John a lot, wasn't sure about Naomi, but she got me there.

 

I just loved the feel of the entire episode. I am officially madly in love with John Dorie. What on earth is going on that compels Laura to leave him???? She loves him.

At the very end when John spun both guns, I made some primal yelp of happiness. That was GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

The fish alarm clock is hilarious. Why does anyone want to be wakened by an alarm clock after the apocalypse, though?

When the Scrabble tiles came up I thought, Splat. It was fun to hear John mull over the whole range of possibilities. The sign out sheet for all of the rental movies. All of the noises for taking apart and cleaning the guns. The close ups of the engravings. The yellow glow of the lighting in the cabin with pools of darkness, like the glow from a campfire. So many wonderful quiet details.

What a great show.

 

John's such a sweet soul. He's too good for this world.

Actually like Naomi a lot, too. Hopefully no more standalone episodes this season, though.

 

Was a little skeptical coming into this one because I normally don't like bottle episodes but this one worked for me. It was very well written and both Dillahunt and Elfman did a great job in their roles. This series is really drawing me in.

 

Laura/Naomi has lost a great deal in the apocalypse and now she pushes away from people when she gets close to them because she doesn't want to experience loss again.

 

I enjoyed this episode so much. Sometimes it’s nice to slow down and have a more quiet setting where someone might hole up during an apocalypse. John’s little cabin almost gives the illusion that things are kinda normal and safe, until the walkers wash up to remind us where he’s at.

I liked John pretty much right away in episode 1 but after this episode I feel like spelling I love you in scrabble tiles too . He’s such a good guy. I’m curious to see how he’ll change now that he’s out in the world. I enjoyed him and Morgan’s talk...love those two paired up.

Also I am really liking Naomi/Laura now too...I didn’t feel strongly either way before so I’m glad we got to know her more in this episode.

 

She was a quick study when it came to gutting a fish

 

I know that's what she said, but I don't think anyone could resist John. He is so easy going, she would know she could leave--and he would help her leave. That should calm her jitters down.

I think she left because of whatever business she was in a rush to attend to, and when he finds her again she will stay put. I still don't think she died.

She wasn't trying to leave the stadium, so she must have already done whatever it was she needed to do.

I loved how Yvette Nicole Brown was holding up her hand to physically protect herself from looking into Jenna's face last night on Talking Dead, because she was afraid she would be able to ask a question and read the answer on Jenna's face.

 

This is me 100%. I usually hate the bottle episodes, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I hope both of these characters stick around.

 

Damn, I must be a cold ass bitch because John Dorie gets on my last nerve. The character himself is okay but what grates on my nerves is the mumbling. Thank god for closed captioning!

BUT I do like Naomi/Laura - Jenna Elfman was awesome in last nights episode and I am banking on her so called "death" to simply be a red herring

 

She did almost take off on Alicia though when they were on their run to the water park...and she ended up staying. She may have left her running shoes with John but she still had them on...figuratively.

I watched TTD last night too and i'm glad i did...having just Jenna and Yvette made it a very engaging episode. Jenna had a lot of good insight, and Yvette is always delightful because she's such a genuine fan of the show.

 

Good point. I forgot Naomi tried to skedaddle. She didn't have that panicked urgency, though. I think this time she wanted to go just because she had the intuition the stadium wasn't safe.

 

One thing I like the most about John is how low key he is. He's not only an ex cop, but seems to have an additional skill set with guns and doesn't feel the need to come in guns blazing all the time. Of course that wasn't going to last in this world...but I liked that about him.
