Big Boy Laroux

You know what really bothered me? Gabriel goes out into the wilderness, gets attacked by a walker, pulls off his head, then brains it with a rock, then brains another dude with a rock, lays down in the middle of a road, and his shirt stays PRISTINE WHITE the entire time.

If they were intentionally going for symbolism, it was super annoying.

Winter is coming

Yeah, that bugged me too.

Otherwise I thought it was a great finale. I thought it was super tense mostly because I thought someone was going to die. I loved this season though. I thought it was the best one yet.

Cusm

My DVR cut off as the red shirt was walking in the parking lot, what did I miss after that?

VHS?

I do hope they do a small flashback when Glen brings back that guy, to explain how the fuck he escaped all those walkers.
Bad timing for Rick to welcome Morgan. I have to wonder if it creates something bad between them.

After the "Wolves" killed the red jacket guy and reset the trap, they went through his stuff. So I think the whole elaborate trap is just to kill people (preferably letting the trap's boxed walkers do it) and then reset the trap and seize the dead people's stuff. I think it's how they get supplies.

A flaw I see with this trap is the people caught in it will probably use up all of their bullets before being killed, so the "Wolves" don't seem to have figured out how to also get people's ammo.

VHS?

Notice the stuff "Red jacket guy" had that they were going through, were pictures of Rick and the group. So who the hell was "Red jacket guy"?

Bill Needle

That will be helpful. Once the walkers freeze solid the group can casually walk the earth piking them in the noggin.

Glenn's always been good at dealing with walkers.

Remember in Season 3 when the Governor had Glenn as a prisoner and tied him to a chair in a room with a walker and Glenn still killed it. If you don't remember it, here's that Season 3 scene again:


Glenn is really good at this stuff, so I had no qualms about him somehow getting away from the walkers offscreen in tonight's episode.

VHS?

Yeah but these ones were on top of him. Like 3 or 4 of them, in a game of Twister.

Mondo Kane

I'm starting to get real tired of his invincibility.

Shazam

Even in the apocalypse other people pay for politicians' mistakes.

Abob Teff

I think it was actually Aaron's pack which he had dropped. That wasn't real clear.

Shazam

That wasn't Red Poncho's backpack, it was Aaron's.

dhmac

Ah, I missed that.

andicus

^I agree that Glenn is very capable, so I don't need to know anything more about how he survived.

I was just disappointed that he didn't leave the dude out there to die.

Regarding the walkers on the other side of the trucks, the doors opened on the building side and the away side, so there would be walkers out there. Granted there looked to be too many, too quickly, but that's typical of this show.

It's too bad Gabriel didn't meet his end. The character just annoys me, and yeah, the white shirt was ridiculous.

I'm not disappointed that they didn't kill off a major character. There's no reason they need to.

Shazam

The only way they could've made that guy's death more obvious was to have the Enterprise insignia on his poncho.

I think in the moment, aside from wanted revenge for her husband's murder, Deanna finally grasped that Rick was right when he said in last week's episode that they needed to kill Pete. She learned the hard way that if she had only listened to Rick then, her husband would still be alive now.

Groucho

Red Riding Hood and the Wolves? Real subtle.

dom56

Morgan would make a good Jedi.

fumanstan

I thought the Wolves trap was kind of silly and pointless, and the sudden amount of zombies that show up pretty ridiculous. I don't think they've been set up very well, especially that opening conversation the guy had with Morgan. Also, Morgan's stick fighting skills look terrible.

Aside from that, I like that the finale didn't rely on killing one of the major cast members and they dealt with the fallout from last episode pretty well. I still think Rick is a little too far gone but they put together a good series of events for the town to put their trust in him and it played out decently.

I liked the finale, but the worst part was definitely Morgan getting into his "fighting" stance. He looked like a little kid.

DJariya

Rick...Do it.....

That was a pretty awful way for Deanna's husband to die.

How many episodes into season 6 before Rick and Jessie get it on now?

Pretty low key season finale, but that was also good in a way because I really don't think the writers should feel pressured in every "Big" episode to kill off another major character. So, I'm glad this was more of a set up episode for the pending war between the folks of Alexandria and the Wolves.

Good to see Morgan again. I wonder what Lennie James status will be for season 6? I know he just finished shooting a British medical drama called "Critical" that's currently airing. So I wonder if that show gets a 2nd season how it will affect Morgan's appearances next season. I saw on IMDB this was his 1st credited appearance on the show since "Clear" in 2013. "No Sanctuary" and "Coda" were uncredited cameos. Hopefully if he doesn't take another UK series, he will be promoted to series regular next season. With Morgan now in Alexandria, I think he needs to become a more significant part of the story arc now. James actually lives in Los Angeles with his family, so I'm sure he would love to take a fulltime U.S. job over another UK gig.

Nothing, that was the end.
