It's especially dumb when all the characters look exactly the same except for some hairstyle changes. No-one's aged after 6 years.

Thus all the awkward non-conversational exposition between characters explaining to each other the details of events from the past 6 years that they certainly would already be very familiar with.

And the frequent talk of Rick's "death" as if he's been "dead" for only 3 months instead of 6 years.

Taking a chance saying this because I have no idea of her age but Lydia is cute as hell.

Have a seat over there...

Kidding, she's actually 18, so you're safe.

Does anyone have a theory on what happened to Maggie?

I thought they said she went with that lady who was offering to trade stuff out of the van.

Yes, you know,that completely irrelevant lady that turned up for 45 seconds over 4 episodes just to be the deus ex machina that explained away why they have a windmill. How could you forget the importance of her riveting appearances?

Damn. I’ve turned on this show in a hurry.

I think she’s with Heath.

I am pretty much getting to be in this camp. This last episode I was doing what most of you are doing probably, checking my phone, email, texts, etc...The Whisperers are the dumbest antagonists I have ever seen on this show. And that is saying something. I can't stop thinking of how fucking stupid it is they must never get thirsty and travel about 100 yards a day. And I know I mentioned it before.

There are some “logistics” issues with the Whisperers that I was willing to roll with, but those all went by the wayside with me this past episode. Now we are back to logic issues ... they supposedly have adopted (adapted?) to this lifestyle because they don’t believe any society can hold together and survive. OK. Except ... they bring New Carl back to their CAMP ... where people are socializing and doing work for the betterment of the group ...
