Re: The Walking Dead -- "Claimed" -- 2/23/14
Why was the guy sitting on the toilet with his pants on? It would have been an easier fight if they were around his ankles. I wouldn't have made the connection to Rick opening the bathroom door to make a walker trap.
I wonder if Kober's crew were the ones that slaughtered that encampment during the nice guy "Brian" era. Of course all the people that knew about it are dead now.
It'll be interesting to see Tyrese and Abraham in the same group. The show may have neutered Tyrese but he can turn it on when he needs to kill walkers. But the showrunners will probably kill Tyrese off before Abraham is able to find them, probably the first one to die in Terminus.

So the guy in the bedroom was passed out. But didn't Rick KILL the guy in the shitter? I'm guessing he changed and the guys found him and that's how the distraction for Rick to escape happened.
Or am I wrong?

I guess they didn't want an extended fight with some dude's bare ass flopping around, as hilarious as that would have been.

Wasn't it confirmed (or heavily speculated) that the CDC guy told Rick that you turn no matter what when you die? It was either that or that his wife was pregnant.
I don't think the CDC guy told Rick how to solve this riddle... that said, I love the fact that there could be a long term cure. I think this show needs to determine an end point and work towards it instead of meddling from plot point to plot point ala Lost.

Also from that time in the CDC they learned that the CDC itself, the French, and everyone else they were working with did not have an answer to the source or solution. But I'm sure random mullet-guy out wandering around Eugene knows.
Yes, I'm sure this will all be explained, and will probably make sense from the Eugene/Abraham perspective. My real problem is with Glen/Tara just shrugging it all off when hit with this. Well, that and assuming what he said is true the obvious problem raised in this thread of keeping mankind-saving information in the mind of a single, extremely vulnerable individual.

I do like how the previews at the end of the episodes don't necessarily show things that happen in the next immediate episode. I thought I caught a glimpse of Glenn and Maggie together in the preview after last week's ep.

You are correct. That's why Rick opened the door to the hallway from the bathroom before exiting the window. Create a distraction to aide his escape.

I missed it too until I heard the standard "walker noise" when all the shouting started and Rick got away from the house. First I wondered how in the world would a walker suddenly appear and then I realized ohhh...Rick you crafty devil you.

Is also throws one off because of the previous choke out scene where clearly the guy was still alive. I was wondering if Rick had just made him pass out at first but then the attack happened...

Trust me, you would know if there was still a government. The easiest way to tell if there is a government is to ask when you last paid taxes. Since they haven't paid taxes for a couple of years, there is no government. And even if there was a tiny fragment of what "HAD BEEN" the US government left somewhere in the US, the fact that they are assuredly not protecting the former citizens means that the "government" has relinquished its rights to call itself that.

Yeah I actually thought both of the guys were dead until Talking Dead cleared it up. Watching it I figured Rick was in a panic because he thought the guy by the bed would turn soon, not because he would wake up.

No dought in my mind we are going to see those guys again. I figured the guy was still alive because the one that choked him out surely wouldn't lie down to sleep with the chance of his buddy turning into a walker.

Can't get my mind out of the bathroom. That house that Carl and Michonne were in had a chain lock on a 2nd floor bathroom door? For the occasions you're in the bathroom, someone knocks, and you want to see who it is?

I had an Ex who's Mentally ill Mother used to bust in on her when she was in the bathroom. So maybe it's not so far fetched to have that.

First, there should be plenty of AA batteries left in the world for them to scrounge, but beyond that there are plenty of ways to charge batteries after the apocalypse. Solar chargers have been commonplace for years, and they certainly would have come across a few in any number of stores they've scavenged.
And their lack of scrounging anything really useful, or having any sort of contingency plans, is really starting to bug me. What did they do while they were sitting around all day? How about discussing what to do if the Governor or anyone else showed up at their front gate?
Back to the radio situation, they could find walkie talkies in any discount store or truck stop, or from Rick's police station, or the military units they've found abandoned. And they should have a range of a few miles. The old toy ones I had were good for a couple miles, and those were just toys.

In an old house, the doors wouldn't have locks on them, so putting on a chain lock is the easy answer. That's how we did it in my parents' house.
the show needed some eye candy

What was the significance of the painting Michonne found in the house that made her wander into the pink bedroom??

And a horrible choice for the impending zombie apocalypse.

The commando chick is ridiculous. She looks like a model for a gun magazine that has no credibility.
