Re: The Walking Dead (S5E02) -- "Strangers" -- 10/19/14
What was Gareth going on and on to Bob about? Was Terminus Bob's camp before he went out on his own? There seemed like there was some history there and I don't know where that would come from.
Great seeing Carver back on TV but like everybody else thought that there were an awful lot of black people in the group so adding one meant one had to be subtracted.

That plan to jump in the water was just about the dumbest thing possible. I mean, given that there's murky water all over and that zombies can kill with a bite, submerging 50% of your body into an unknown zone and using silly shelves as protection just screamed jumping directly into the fire.
Just another nit-pick - but if you were in that water, you would at least change your cloths when you got out, or before you went in.. there was plenty of clothing on the top floor.. who would walk around reeking like that?

I thought it was a good episode, as it looks like it is setting up for a real good season. I still don't understand why people feel the need to pick apart every episode and complain and complain. I say this cause one of my best friends does the same thing every Monday when we talk about the new episode, and I told him I don't want to hear his whining anymore.
Sure there are plot holes in the show, and somethings don't make sense. But take it with a grain of salt and enjoy it for what it is.

I agree - the skin of the zombies was slothing off and the junk floating in the water looked like bacteria ridden scum of some kind. Never mind the zombies, but just exposing your skin to this cesspool if you have any cuts, or a splash into your eyes would bring certain infection.

On Talking Dead last week, Scott Gimple explained the Terminus folks agenda as they would welcome you in, feed you, and then fill you in on the situation. If you were down with their way of doing things, you were welcomed in to the group. If you opposed them, you became food.
Also, barring the character change, Gareth's dialog in the end scence was almost verbatim from the comics.

Yeah, I mean if it was a black baby he was protecting it would be a different matter.

Tyrese is seriously the worst. What's the point of being non-violent toward a group of people that took you prisoner and tried to eat you? What's the point of being non-violent and letting that guy live who threatened to kill a baby and then forced you outside to die a horrible death? If I was Rick I wouldn't trust him to protect my child in the slightest. I really can't wait until his character is killed off.
I thought that is what the 2nd part of Season 4 lacked was that conflict between the characters. Last night showed some difference between them as Tyrese compared to Rick, or Darryl asking Carol what she was doing by the car and she said, "I...don't know." Every story needs conflict, and it would be boring if they all just were in lockstep with Rick.

As noted in the previous episode, Bob and Gareth had had a discussion before about Bob's group going to Washington for a cure to the Zombie plauge. This happened off screen. At the abbatior, right before they were set to be killed, Bob tried again to convince him of this, which Gareth had no interest in, as his group had already set up a ststem, sick as it was, that they were content with.

I thought everyone going in to that water was incredibly stupid, but did make for some cool looking zombies which I imagine was the only purpose of that scene. I also thought Bob got bit judging by the way he was acting. Most of the episode was a bit boring, but loved the ending and showing the Terminus guys eating his leg. Good ending and i'm curious if they do tackle the idea of eating "tainted" meat.

So is it safe to say that there are actually two different types of infection? The first is the one that everyone already has and if one dies, even from natural causes, that person becomes a walker. The second type is if you are bit or scratched by a walker, it leads to certain death causing the first infection type to kick in.
What would happen if they gave a blood transfusion to a walker?

I don't have a lot to say this week, but the big reveal at the end about Bob's fate was crazy, although not surprising. I can't imagine a 1 legged man is going to survive on this show more than 1 or 2 more episodes tops.

They had stable, consistent shelter when Hershel had his leg chopped off. I'd say it's highly unlikely that D'Angelo survives more than the next few episodes. Of course, I'm pretty sure he got bit too so there's that as well.

Just thought of something. Has Maggie even shown one ounce of curiosity about what happened to her little sister?
