I was referring to the 'No Sanctuary' sign. He wrote 'No' and blotted out most of welcome message. Then when Morgan approached, it (the red lettering) was a little more faded and the surrounding area was more overgrown.

I'm not talking about the Xbox logo on the tree or whatever that shit is.

You're all going to be apologizing when X-Box announces their new game.

Then all I can say is that some folks don't pay enough attention. Hell, the answers to many of the questions I often see people asking in these episode threads were all right there on the screen during the episode, which people would have noticed had they been paying better attention.

I'm sure it can be easy to get distracted, especially if someone else is watching the show with you. I've had to explain things to my wife that she missed, because she was too busy trying to gab with me over something that happened on the show. However, even when I've had doubts about something, there's nothing a second viewing of the episode didn't clear up.

The actor who plays Gareth posted this to his instagram. He at least knows how to capitalize on his 15 minutes of fame.

nothing?
But you know...we have watched these characters get splashed with Walker blood, often in the face, with nothing happening for a while now. I guess i wonder why would eating infected flesh be any more of a problem..

Isn't the Biblical Gabriel a badass fighter? I remember he signals the apocalypse. I think he's an archangel.

I'm not going to read any of this thread, but I'm going to assume Bob's going to have the last laugh.

My group all thought he was bit on the right arm, as he seems to not use it after that. In the church specifically, he reaches across his body with his left hand to do something.
Agreed, didn't ruin it for me, but it was weird that the best idea was to jump down in when many of the walkers were pretty close from overhead.

I didn't see anything explained, was wondering the same thing.

I do question some of the characters stumbling around in a pitch-black forest at night in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. I'm pretty sure no one would ever go outside by themselves at night.
I think they intentionally set it up that way, almost as if they were toying with Bob the entire episode in an over the top way. First have him turn everything negative into a positive in the conversation, then volunteer for the supplies run, then the near miss (maybe not) in the zombie soup, then the last kiss of sorts.

What happens to you when you eat bad/tained meat? You get sick.

Hell, everyone got mysterious "swine flu" or the like last season. Maybe they should have saved that plot point for this season?

That may have happened prior to the leg removal.
