What the heck was the point of the wolves trap that Daryl and Aaron got into? People spring the trap, presumably get eaten or turn into zombies themselves then... reset and do it all again?

I think they accidentally got themselves inundated by opening the truck, I don't think they really sprung an actual trap.

I'm guessing this is how they stock up on zombies to possibly dump on unsuspecting groups in an attempt to overrun them. They take the trailers and dump them.
They may kill people and then take them to the secure food facility, draw out their zombies and then lure all of them, plus some extras, back inside with the music. And perhaps they get them to return if they take a truck out to dump on a town, and then play music to get them back so they can do it again.

Maybe they left the cars specifically there for them to run into and get trapped? That's all I got. The writing on this show is certainly not the best, but I think you kind of to not let yourself be bothered by that kind of shit.

No. They were all wired together with cables set to make them all open at once. Every the trailers in the truck yard sprung open which is why they had to run through more zombies to get to the car. In case you missed all that, there was than note stuffed between the seats warning them that they were in a trap.

Actually now I do recall that, and I didn't care to load up the episode again to check out that scene. Thanks for clearing that up!
 
Who is the stick martial art black dude who came back? have we seen him before? What was the significance of whatever was written on that map? and why did he make them read it and not just say it, its not like there was anyone else listening...

Rick met him after he woke up from his coma and then he ran into him again while leaving a note that he was headed to DC.

Its Morgan, he was in the first season with his son

we see him next in season 3, Ep.12 "Clear" where we discover that he lost his son because he couldn't put down his wife. This drove him mad and he ended up becoming something of a robot, methodically killing and burning walkers in his little part of town that he holed up in. He was crazy enough that he even tried to kill Rick/Coral/Michonne while they were on a supply run looking primarily for guns/ammo to get ready for the Governor. Rick even ended up getting stabbed by him but ultimately got Morgan to start to come to his senses, but not enough to join them at the prison.

So apparently Morgan has healed up / regained enough hope to try and find and join Rick, and we've been catching glimpses of him on their trail all season long.

The map that he had he found in the church, it was a map Abraham made for Rick when they still thought Eugene was a scientist and they had the mission to try and get him to DC, but Rick wasn't ready to leave with Abraham so the group split up. Ultimately the map got left behind when the shit hit the fan at the church and was thus available for Morgan to find as he tracked down the group. Morgan knew who Rick was and seeing the note reinforced his decision to try and seek him out, giving him more hope.

As far as the reading part, I don't think he wanted Daryl/Aaron to read the not, I think he genuinely desired directions and them seeing the note was just happy coincidence.

group goes there thinking they hit the mother load in food, opens trucks get ate/killed... wolves come in lure zombies back to trucks, go in and loot whats left from the people the sprung the trap, rinse and repeat. Not a bad idea if your psychotic enough to kill like that for supplies.

With the added bonus that you catch the more skilled people without having to fight them because in order to spring the trap you have to fight your way in through the roamers in the yard.

Season 5 is slipping away so much quicker while 4 hung on until the 5 premier, yet I found 5 to be a much better season, entertainment wise, than 4. Did much less happen in 5 than in past seasons?

Luckily, I have channel 9 for season 1 and new shows of iZombie and Sirens to get me through for now.

I wouldn't look into that too much, most likely the forum shedding members.

I think the season 4 thread was mostly people arguing about comic spoilers.

A big part of it was when the age in which it aired. If the internet have been as widely used in the 90s, and social media been more than IRC and newsgroups, the X-Files would have had a similar event like feeling. I remember people talking about last nights episode, but well, the talk stayed at the preverbal water cooler.

Exactly.

the wolves we've seen might be portrayed as psychotic (although that's probably only because it makes them a scarier adversary), however I don't think setting up traps like that would be any more psychotic than what happened to the Terminus people becoming cannibals, on the contrary I could see more sane people doing the traps considering most of the survivors we've seen lately (particularly those roaming the country) are particularly shitty people and arguably far more dangerous than the walkers and someone like Eugene would be more inclined to set up traps like that than to risk direct combat.

The whole trap thing is kind of stupid. What happens if a group of hot chicks walk into the trap? Oh crap there goes our last chance to get laid. Plus what if the person in the trap had information to a safe zone or weapons or food and water.

The wolves are a bunch of idiots it seems. Also the two we have seen don't even have any guns or ammo. It would be funny if the wolves turns out to be just those two morons.

Getting trapped in the car isn't instant death. The point is that the Wolves come back, call the walkers back to the trucks, and then deal with the trapped people as they wish.

The empty gun was interesting... I wonder how that's going to play out.

In the previous episode the Wolves strung up that blonde woman. I dont think they care about getting laid. Or they are rapists and kill the women afterwards. If the people inside the trap dont die and get in the car, they do whatever they want with them after they reset the trap. If the people in the trap die, they still get whatever they had on them.
 
Sunday night ... 9:00pm. Anyone else finding it a very boring evening for a change of pace ??

Oh well, guess I need to catch up on 'Black Sails' for my entertainment.
