Yep. You and I better learn some skills, or…..useless when the apocalypse comes knocking.

Please post all comments pertaining to the Garbage Pail Kids in their own Yoda-trash syntax. Thank you.

Definitely frustrating, I agree. But still potentially fun. Such an uneven season - from story perspective. I appreciated the different episodes' tones at time (except for the insufferable "comic relief" of Tara's running commentary in the middle of catastrophe), but so much setup wasn't paid off with any style or

Yep. It was people. Dividing up the spoils of Alexandria after the battle.

Did anyone comment on Neegan's hilarious scream/groan as he scampered off screen when the tiger attacked? This could be the Wilhelm Scream for the apocalypse! (I hope they use it a little in every future episode). Neegan himself might lean back, twirl the bat and muse, "He ran from that tiger….like…a….BITCH!" I

Low hanging fruit, I had the same idea but didn't have the….low hanging fruit….to post it. Kudos!

Also, predicated on, you know, Sasha riding in an effin' coffin!

Must be a plethora of red "Make America Great Again" caps as well, I'd imagine.

I feel like Shosh has bigger fish to fry. In some ways she's the only character in the entire series who has changed, or seems to. The Japan episodes last season were a turning point, and she's just more….interesting…..now, and less Shosh/shallow. (I hope)

Agree. Would be lazy to have a fairytale ending for all. Elija's thinking about going back to acting to a cattle call where he gets the lead in a Broadway play was enough. Good, and entertaining, and it was great to see his many talents, but a crazy-fast character arc all in one episode, because — Girls ending.

Another popular actress, sadly believing she looks better if she loses an unholy amount of normal body weight.

Was masterfully played. I'm constantly amazed that Lena Dunham is able to put together such nuance at such a young age. Amazed and a little pissed off about it all!

In the HBO bit after the episode we find out that Judd Apatow came up with the title - and it's a good one. Adam's a lost boy, and it could have been asked by Hannah. That may have been her best moment of acting in the entire series, in the diner, when she teared up and began to sob. I had to rewatch that scene

I can't believe this show is still on the air.

Not exactly fairy tale ending. They are all happy in each others' company, sharing a brutal secret and moving on, BUT they are all a part of a murder (manslaughter?) and a cover-up, and at the end they're being viewed through binoculars and we hear the detective's zippo lighter flipping open and closed. It's the

One more thing - best acting in the episode was Celeste with her little boy. Her depth of understanding after the epiphany, how calm she was with him, and reassuring — it was clear that she was doing everything in her power to break the cycle of pain. I expected her to react like "any other mom or dad" and, backed

Good observation. Or at least Jane pulling the gun from her bag (Janie's got a gun???) and pointing it at Perry, unable to actually shoot, though it was in so many of her fantasies.

I didn't buy the police scenes. They were time wasted, in the limited 7 hours, on what could have deepened character and plot. No one gossips like school parents.

Agree, which is why it was so frustrating that in way too many police interrogation scenes the people questioned seemed to have no idea of what had been going on. Schools are petrie dishes of gossip.

I'm surprised at how creepy so many people found Ed to be. I saw the little subtle things as well, but thought they were directed and acted so well that the ambiguity was evident. It makes total sense that controlling Madeline would end up with someone so - controllable, and nice, with a lot of issues bubbling
