Me and my hubs both just gasped when Rick tore the neck out of that dude, but we also thought it was heroic bc he had no other choice. He truly is a survivor...and he'd do ANYTHING to save Carl.
My husband thinks they likely drugged the food at the entry - so that survivors would pass out and they could then confine them.
I'm so glad that so much of the gang is back together! Love that Daryl found Rick...and I just *loved* it when Rick called Daryl his brother  ...such a great/validating moment for Daryl. It showed him that his feelings and the changes he went through via the prison group were worthy and right.
I wonder if bada$$ Carole will save the day.
I feel like the Terminus group kidnapped Beth...I feel like maybe they imprison young fertile females to continue their version of humanity. YUCK.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO WAIT MONTHS NOW?????
BusterBrown (Carol) works on the show, I think we're gonna have to find her weakest spot to properly extract some insider info  . |
I agree with you and Brit about the flashback, why are they showing this???, but after seeing a bit of Talking Dead, it was to show Rick's changing behavior. Remember, when Carl said, he's not the man his father thinks he is, he's a monster? I think Rick hasn't really shown his brutal side until this episode, and he wanted to keep in touch with his humanity for his son's sake, but in this episode, he felt he had to become brutal for his son's sake. I think they wanted to show how he's evolving and yet was still able to keep his humanity, for example when he talked to Daryl and called him his brother. I think Carl has felt like he was so much more brutal then his father that he thought of himself as a monster, but maybe they will both find the balance it takes to survive in this new world.
I think you are right about drugging the food and also kidnapping Beth, I'm really anxious to see how Carol will handle the situation. I didn't really like how Rick handled it, except the part of hiding the guns, I think only two of them should have gone in and if they didn't return by x time, the other two would know that they were being held captive. I can't believe we have to wait so long to see more.
