living on the west coast.

I was getting up & eating breakfast at the hotel, and the NBA playoffs were on TV - 9am pacific time, but noon back on the East Coast.

I must wait until 9 pm to see it. In past seasons, I could watch it at 6 pm when it showed on the east coast. Not this season

Just kidding.

Will check back later.

they're going outside to see the results of the Wonder Tornado

looks like Aaron get's a hard intro

for entrance to their community

sounds pretty tempting

and knocks him out.

hmmm, not sure about that move. No hurt in hearing him out.

The look on his face while Aaron was speaking was priceless.

saying how they were desperate food and water, but didn't turn on each other.

He's right.

interesting back story from Aaron - worked for an NGO in Africa

and then the rest trying to find hiding places.

Rick is getting pretty paranoid

I'm sure I don't know what would.

but, he's going a little too far.

having the guy to eat the applesauce first to make sure it's not poison

Dale's Winabago is back from the dead.

good one

comes into play - way to go Dale.

Funny how nothing more was needed.

good episode overall - you got some history/backstory of Aaron & Eric, you got Michonne stepping up, and an interesting zombie fight in the dark.

I could see Rick's point in not trusting the guy, but also thought he went overboard with the paranoia and by slugging the guy.

I liked that Michonne stepped up & questioned Rick, and that he went along with her decision.

The zombies at night scene was pretty intense. Liked that they gave us some backstory on Aaron & Eric, and that Rick changed when he saw them together, and then changed again (maybe) once he heard the kids playing behind the walls.

I suspect we haven't seen the last of that gun that Rick stashed away.

since they made it a point to show him leaving the group and then putting it in there, it's too big a set up to not have a payoff down the road - even if it's next season.

she convinced everybody to go

and then the car won't start...

and are separated in the dark - of course. Glenn saves Aaron

gas guzzling carburated models. They must have lost their sponsorship from Dodge.

maybe something a bit newer as well?

Guns too. At least they finally upgraded. But the first seasons drove me up a wall. Come on, there are more guns than people in this fricken country.

Glenn drove it. Not sure what happened to it, though.

It was a Hyundai Tuscon and they flogged the commercials pretty hard.

Can't thy find a chevy or a ford dealer and get fixed up with a Tahoe or an Expedition?

My partner just read me a blurb about the Hyundai/Walking Dead relationship. The Hyundai had to be kept clean, couldn't be used as a weapon and, get this, couldn't break down. Lol.

and, put something on the front like a snow plow to get walkers out from in front of your car - like the "cow catcher" on the front of those old trains. (probably not too many snow plows in Georgia, but you may find some in Virginia)

Or, just modify the Hyundai:



But, this would work for me:

I was thinking that maybe they turned around and headed up 16...

and they're all in the RV heading to Alexandria

No telling what's really there, though.

who knows how many thousands of walkers are roaming the streets?

at the gates of Alexandria...and his face changes

really clean up well - Danai this week, Laurie Cohan last week.

I really like her hair.

there was some speculation that Rick/Andrew Lincoln was going to die this season because he was spotted clean shaven between the mid season finale and the second half premiere. I guess Rick is eventually going to get to shave once he is safe behind the walls?

which is when Rick gets a shave.

You know that there is always a catch, because happiness does not make good entertainment.

without spoiling a lot. The place is genuine as there are good people, safety and a doctor there.

The women were kind of the voice of reason - Michonne, Maggie, Rosita and even Carol at the end

and, I wonder if that change of expression on Rick's face indicates maybe he's going to lighten up a bit?

I have a feeling that the next crisis to befall the group will come from outside the compound, not from whatever is inside.

They seem to be getting bigger.

The next turmoil will occur inside the compound & you'll be astonished as to who's responsible. Probably will end with the cliffhanger till next October.

I'm guessing if [font color=white] Negan [/font] were to make an appearance, we'd have heard rumors of it by now. So, I'm guessing he won't be around until next season.

Scott Gimple does seem to follow the comics closer than Darabont or Mazzara, though, even with the nod to Wiltshire Estates (early in the comics) with Shirewilt a few episodes back.

Plenty of time for things to get interesting inside the compound and leave us with the "shocking" cliffhanger.

Now that they've reached the compound I don't think we get anybody else from the outside getting introduced for the rest of the season. The group has been outside long enough. I see all the action being inside the compound till the next season.

next week is 5.12 - Remember - then, we have 5.13 - Forget. I have not seen the titles of the last 3 episodes, yet.

Not a complaint mind you.

interesting news - maybe it will be a big show?

The Walking Dead’s season five finale will be an extended 90-minute episode airing March 29 at 9 p.m., AMC announced Wednesday. In the finale, Daryl finds himself in trouble while out on the run. Meanwhile, in Alexandria, Rick and his group continue to feel like outsiders as danger lurks near the gates.

Premiers and finale's shouldn't feel rushed, they should be packed with with twists and turns, action and depth. OTOH it might just be an extra 45 minutes of commercials.
