Episode recap: As a result of munching on some guy's dick, Eugene gets stomach pains.

 

[pontifex]

Hardwick needs to shave. He doesn't look good with a beard. Its very distracting.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. He's starting to look the Scarecrow or something

With the messy hair he looks homeless.

 

[Charmonium]

I missed something. Where were they taking the guns and why were they doing it during the voice over?

Some nice boobage on Talking dead.

 

[pontifex]

That wasn't clear to me either but i assume it was because of what happened to Daryl, Eugene, Rosita, Abraham, and Denise. They are preparing for an attack.

well at least he ditched the stupid skinny tie.

Assuming the group that killed Denise is from Negan's group, and that Rick's group just slaughtered three groups from Negan's gang...yeah. They know that Alexandria exists now, if that's the case.

At the end, Glen said something like "our world is a lot bigger than we thought", so I'm thinking they're going to scout out some more trading communities to band together to fight Negan's group, especially if they can start manufacturing bullets.

Thanks. :thumbsup:

I really hope they do something about their defenses. They need tank traps or something at every approach to prevent another semi-truck attempted ramming.

I think they are setting it up to kill off Carol for the season finale. I could be wrong.

 

[Phoenix86]

I don't think so and she was mostly faking it anyway. But doesn't Hilltop have obgyn?

She wasn't faking it, everyone knew she didn't know much. She just stepped up and started reading. She was all they had, and yeah hilltop has the obgyn.

It looked like that is what was happening at end. Moving guns around, building more towers, reinforcing walls with cars, etc.

Bullet farmers!

I'd expect they know of and possibly where Alexandria (roughly?) is by now. It's a named place on existing maps, although they might not know the name.

Somebody mentioned a moat for Gregory's camp (re: no guns) a few pages ago. They should do that in Alexandria...cut down any nearby trees to prevent people from ziplining in, build a moat to prevent tanks/semis/etc., build a drawbridge as the only entrance in & out, cut young tree into spikes & make the outside walls like a porcupine, etc. But instead everyone like the preacher is walking around all Leave it to Beaver

That was fucked up (in a good way) how she was still talking with an arrow through her head.

They know where Gregory's (?) settlement is. Jesus knows where Alexandria is, so that's a pretty easy way to get in.

Realistically, yes. I doubt they county where they film the show will let them though.

They need to read a book on Roman fortifications.

I think Julius Caesar built concentric walls around Alesia in the Gallic Wars and did it in a matter of weeks. The trenches are lined with spikes. They circled the town with one wall and then built another around their encampment around the town to fend off reinforcements.

The Alexandrians could definitely do this. But it doesn't even need to be that elaborate.

How do you make a 10' wall 13'? Dig a 3' moat at it's base. Make it wide enough and it'd stop any attempt to ram the wall.

 

[duragezic]

Who was the Dwight guy? I don't remember him.

 

[Arcadio]

It's rare to see realistic deaths in TV shows. That death looked very creepy because of its realism.

That was dumb.

Arrow goes thru head....you lose vision...extreme instant pain....yet you're still focused on completing your sentence.

LOL.

Bullshit.

 

[clamum]

OMFG, Big Red has the best lines.

"We'll do it live!"

"Mother dick"

Then the one about biting or eating dick tonight (I forgot the exact quote). LOL, hilarious.

Yeah, I should have saved it and quoted it word for word. That was a GREAT line.

 

[Kaido]

He was with insulin girl, the group that Daryl saved. iirc they were escaping Negan's group, trying to remove themselves from the gang. Daryl offered them asylum in Alexandria, and instead they stole his bike & crossbow.

Actually... people have had all sorts of things go through their skull and they moved on not realizing the extent. It might have been an "ouchie" and then days, weeks, months later, they discover that a long piece was embedded in their skull and brain. It could have produced a momentary pain but due to the speed it would have been more likely to produce a disruption in mental faculties prior to the onset of acute pain. It really comes down to whether the death was truly instant and she shouldn't have been able to produce anymore words, or if it was delayed, in which case, it's kind of likely. I do believe there have been real-life examples in which the latter has happened.

Quite frankly, a wound like that, Denise may have very well lived in reality.

The reason bullets more often kill in head shots is, if they have an exit wound, it was because the tumbling induced shockwaves in the soft tissue, causing more than simple direct tissue damage. No exit wound, then the bullet likely bounced around the skull, reflecting off the interior bone wall like a pinball. During that, it is causing a lot of soft tissue damage, and more often than not, also results in a direct impact to the medulla.

A crossbow bolt isn't much different than, say, a high-powered nail gun or a pike or any other numerous sharp and instantaneous impacts that people have survived.
