Douche/Aryan

Not just TV.

It was also a nice context for all the scenes we've enjoyed of adult Shaw eating on duty. That woman is a carnivore - thus her ability to chew through duct tape!

What did you think of the woman in the church?

Seriously, Carter is insanely cool. I was thinking that, just in this episode of procedural TV, there are female characters who are more deeply drawn and bad-ass than nearly all the female characters I've seen at the theater this year, combined.

I'm going to throw out an alternative suggestion about Shaw and the girl. I don't believe that, when you put together a grown woman and a younger female, it automatically classifies as "maternal" (even though this episode overtly references a Ripley/Newt moment with the vent). Instead - in the case of Shaw - it was a…

I should've known April was hinky when she started kissing a man who's been eating out of garbage cans.

I think that, along with Crowley, Death is probably one of those bosses you don't want to fuck with. I don't think he would appreciate his employees moonlighting. At all. It would be worth it, though, if we were to get some mano a mano between Death and Bartholomew. Rumble in paradise, man.

It's also possibly the crossover Happy Endings love for Damon Wayans Jr. Or that might just be me, but I don't think so. I wish he could re-join this show as Brad instead of as Coach, actually. Because dancing!

I'd like to compliment whoever (director, DP, PD, etc.) was in charge of the way this episode looked. The show has been making some departures (as I mentioned) last week in the palette of its storyworld and this week its usual rural setting was notably set aside for the most realistic city setting I can ever remember…

You're probably right about the mob mentality - perhaps more like a hive mind. OR like a flock of sheep which, I can tell you from experience, will change its entire forward momentum because one guy wanders off after an interesting shiny thing. Perhaps they linger because the smell of more-or-less fresh dead rat blood…

Thanks, @avclub-7a5a3fe4ae33de425d06ac4fe8d097d2:disqus !

I also meant to agree with you, Skipskatte, on this because I was really surprised that, after the C-Block fiasco, Rick, Herschel, the doctor, went right in there and got methodical and figured out what was going on in about 5 minutes, rather than having a lot of pointless hypotheses and existential angst drag on for…

They're interested in particular spots on the fence because those are spots where they've been getting fed - thus the little pile of dead rats in that one area. I share your frustration, though, at how they've let that fence be the only thing between them and the undead hordes.

I couldn't stop thinking of the episode of M*A*S*H when they spent ages lovingly tending a small crop of corn so they could have fresh corn-on-the-cob with a special meal built entirely around this one thing. Then, when they weren't looking, the crappy camp cook turned it all into a big vat of creamed corn and slopped…

And what's with the very overt, lingering shot of infected piglet blood spraying Rick's face, after which he deliberately rubs his eyes at least three time?
Also, I have to just say a sad farewell to the baby pigs - a particular animal I loved as a child when I visited a relative's farm. I know baby animals are mostly…

Pretty sure this is because Andrea and Lori are gone.

Best part: the tight suit. Who knew those contortions to pick up car keys without bending his legs would be Phil's shining hour?

I keep hoping Reese will break out a Dutch phrase now and then when he talks to Bear. I miss that.

Yes! Only Crowley was called a bitch. I like it.
