The Walking Dead Season 5 - Official discussion thread

Looks like I was right about Nicholas lying about Glenn. 🙂

15. Hope the preacher gets eaten in the finale. That guy is such a pain. He's the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to Deanna's view of Rick's group. I was hoping she was going to interview Glen & use her poker-reading skills to see what's up, but based on the fact that she doesn't believe in capital punishment, I can see her POV.

She did express doubt at Nicholas' version of the story. She may be as good at reading people as she says.

She's obviously bias, and is looking for self-justification for the action she's about to do.

Is she? She doubted Nocholas and she thanked Glenn for knocking Aiden "on his ass" in their prior conflict.

That and this wouldn't have been the first time Nicholas and sonny-boy came back with fewer people they went out with.

Seems like Rick is going to have to go ham sammich on these fools in order to keep on surviving. The two groups have two totally different mentalities, and ways of dealing with things. It will probably never work in the long run.

 

[McLovin]

I think Rick is turning into a version of Shane and even though he is a little crazy at this point, still isn't "evil" like Shane was at the end. Rick seems to truly give a crap about his people whilst Shane was just using them as a means to an end.

Question for the comic book readers, not sure if this will be a spoiler or not. How close are we to the end of the comics?

 

[z1ggy]

Oh, also pretty weak of Carl to not get some booty while he was up in that tree. Rookie move.

Not close at all, even ignoring the time jump that the comics did recently.

I wouldn't say that. Since the fall of the prison in issue 48 we have covered the next 48 issues in a season and a half. The next 48 issues will not be out until later this year. At this pace we'll catch up next season. Obviously, they're going to have to add filler plots and original stories to stretch that out, but it's still happening soon. At least the time jump will give them something to work with.

True. It may feel longer than it was because the last pre-time jump story arc went on for like 500 issues by itself.

okay, I do have a legit question:
Who was it the Sasha saw through her scope right before she began shooting all the walkers at the fence. All it looked like to me was a running leg.
Could it have been Enid (and Carl) coming home?
Or someone else leading the walkers there?

 

[WT]

Also, why hasn't Deanna interviewed Eugene or Glenn about what happened to Aiden? She only interviewed Nicholas.

Was it stated she hadn't ?? I think we will get a flashback interview on this next show, where Glenn's emotional recounting of that day's events carry a lot more weight than Nicholas avoiding eye contact and vaguely answered interview.

Correct me if I missed that - I couldn't hear Glenn's discussion with Rick on the porch.

It was inside the compound. It was Carol.

 

[PokerGuy]

Disappointed that Michonne would betray Rick like that. The group should have just taken over the compound, made it clear that they were in charge now and given the residents a choice: agree to doing things Rick's way, or get tossed out. Michonne wants desperately to stay, to make it work, but you can do that by taking control of the place too.....

Andrea is such a pathetic leader, no guts at all. Letting the doc do what he wants because "what if he doesn't agree to" another way? BS. Tell him he can agree to it or be tied to a tree outside the compound.

 

[Printer Bandit]

if the doc beats jessie, how come she has no bruises and is all hot looking all the time?

wtf does "go ham sammich" mean?

is there an episode where we get to see her naked that I missed?

maybe he uses a rubber hose?

Pretty sure I saw a sack of oranges in the corner of their garage.

[OutHouse]

where the hell are they getting their tap water? who is maintaining the reservoir and water treatment?

 

[ctbaars]

It was inside the compound. It was Carol.

Whaaat?
Sasha is in the tower. Kills a couple of walkers and then sees just a leg running in the scope, looks up and then back to the scope and kills a whole bunch more walkers. That was carol? She was using the scope to aim at walkers, why would she scope inside the compound?
I can't seem to view the video on AMCTV to re-look or point it out.
And if it was carol, why show that? Why was that important to the plot?

 

[CZroe]

It's obviously pumped well water, like almost everyone who lives outside of a major city already uses today.

Can someone please explain the "wolves" to me. Is this from the comics or was it mentioned some time ago?

This.

There have been a few places they have seen references to "Wolves" spray-painted on something. Where Noah took the group to that walled in neighborhood, there was a sign on a short brick wall. They passed a barn on the way that had a large graffiti about the wolves.

Near the walled in neighborhood, there were a ton of hacked up zombies, mostly cut in half. At one spot, there were a collection of lower torsos. When they were leaving, there was a truck or SUV filled with the upper halves of those bodies. I think some or all of those had W's carved on their foreheads.

And now around Alexandria, we have seen quite a few W's on zombies in foreshadowing, and the group has now seen it a few times as well.

There's a storm a'brewin', we just don't know how it will go down.

I've read the first 96 issues which covers up to this point in Alexandria. No "wolves." Unless they are advancing something from the next 48 issues, then it's unique to the show. The show never said "wolves." They just encountered those headed torsos with "W" carved in their foreheadsa hundred miles away at Noah's town and started speculation.

Huh, I thought the guys that Daryl ran across last year were (ex-)members of the Wolves ?? The ones that Rick later encountered when he was hiding under the bed. Maybe I read too much into that, but I just assumed that they were introduced for a reason.
