    Lot of subtle stuff going on... Beth and Daryl, two worlds, the country club with "rich bitch" and Daryl slinging blood on Beths fancy sweater...

    Then the obvious stuff like burning the shack...

    Great episode and having the Mountain Goats "Up the Wolves" in the closing sequence was icing on the cake \o/

    Probably the best episode of the 2nd half so far... But they've all been good.

    Loved the Washington D.C. engraved collectible silver spoon. Sometimes the best foreshadowing is the least subtle.

    Also, I wonder if that spoon was from Shane's Grandma June's spoon collection!LOL

    I could see the farm when they burnt the shack! Whilst it wasn't my favourite episode, it was quite nice with these little things.

    I hope the blood slinging on Beth's shirt isn't foreshadowing her death. :(

    Was just commenting on another thread about the 'little things' when I saw yours. Yeah a lot of subtle stuff going on...

    The lyrics to that song were perfect for that ending!

    Love your avatar btw. These lyrics really capture the mood in a way of this entire episode.

    "Up The Wolves"
    There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet
    No matter where you live
    There'll always be a few things, maybe several things
    That you're going to find really difficult to forgive

    There's going to come a day when you feel better
    You'll rise up free and easy on that day
    And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
    Just when that day is coming, who can say, who can say?

    Our mother has been absent
    Ever since we founded Rome
    But there's going to be a party
    When the wolf comes home

    I'm not that familiar with the song (or its true meaning), but the opening lyrics seem to fit the episode's overall message.

    Thanks, I screencapped it myself, lol.

    But yeah, those lyrics are pretty spot-on to the episode's theme. Maybe she just meant she thought the tone just wasn't fitting or something, idk.

    This episode was nice in a symbolic way but wasn't imporant for the storyline... Bad episode IMO. I wish they switched Bob with Beth. Daryl and Bob as a duo and Maggie Beth and Sascha as a group. They just putted Daryl and Beth together because of the loverumors, and now what? Another episode ruined.

    What bothered me about that scene is that Beth didn't look down at her shirt, look up at Daryl and say, "WTF DARYL?!?!?" It would have been more believable to me, LOL.

    yeah normally i like a bit of symbolism but this episode was majority symbolism. i prefer an even mixture... one of the reasons this episode wasnt one of my favorites.
