Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yes to all of that.

That's not modern Christianity. Sadly, it might apply to jerks and idiots who call themselves Christians, but please let me assure you that is not modern Christianity. Those who follow for real are servants and warriors, not hypocrites and sellouts.

You're right - thanks for that bit of insight. Never took Psych 101! I just wish we saw Carol at least a little conflicted about her decision to be hostile to him. Then she'd seem more relatable - to me anyway. But perhaps it's not exactly a "decision" on her part - perhaps it's just her subconscious way of dealing…

A few things! First, I agree that the gruesomeness of Noah's death was a distraction that rather cheapened the whole turn of events. Yes, I know it's a horror show, but poor Noah. I can't understand why Noah is doing supply runs at all! He's LIMPING. You don't think Glenn or somebody would suggest to him that he…

If this show and its writers "owe" character development to anyone, it's the characters themselves and the loyal fans of those characters. Not a political or social agenda.

Ok, a crowbar. Sorry I missed that. But still…wouldn't one of Gabriel's congregants have brought something similar? I guess we're supposed to believe that they came running to the church with nothing but the clothes on their backs and were swiftly eaten. Which doesn't explain the meticulous carving of "You'll burn for…

Yes! That book was great. And the rebuilding of society was depicted in such an interesting, complex, and brilliant way. How government adapted, how the military adapted…I always wonder if some or any of that is going on in the Walking Dead world. I was beyond disappointed with the movie adaptation. The source…

Oh my gosh, GOOD POINT. I've been wondering what I'm missing with the locked church doors storyline. Because how hard could it be to break into a church? Eugene told us about the mythical place in DC that's built to withstand the "FUBAR" circumstances, but turns out little old St. Sarah's is just as impenetrable.…

I like Carol and I do think she's a beautiful woman. But I can't shake the "Daryl's aunt" vibe I get when I see them together. I do know that they're probably about the same age. It just doesn't come off that way to me.

I just don't see it, not that I can necessarily intuit these things. I think he's just inexperienced. He was in the shadow of Merle for his whole life and never really acquired much game. I think he's unsure of himself and a late bloomer romantically. Or maybe I just really, really hope that because I want to be his…

And you know this how?

I do NOT see Daryl and Carol as a couple. I see affection and mutual respect between them but absolutely zero chemistry. Am I in the minority here? I actually DO see Daryl and Beth as a potential couple - not that I think Daryl has to get together with anybody, and only if she's at least 18. Even in the ZA, some rules…

That's a good point - that she's tougher now, and may not let herself feel or hope as much. And you're right, she hasn't had very much to to or say…which is why I think that finding Beth would/should give her more to do and say.

I do know that Daryl briefed Maggie on what happened - the dialogue there belonging solely to Daryl, and I realize we should assume Maggie did ask - but I just can't buy that Maggie would then go to, "Well, geez, I guess I won't see her again…moving along!" The Maggie we've come to know would be agonized over what was…

Some issues I need to discuss - is anyone else troubled by these??
- Why in the world hasn't Maggie said ONE THING about Beth?? While dialogue is challenging with the whole group together (various characters are really getting the short shrift here), can't the writers throw in a line or two for Maggie about her sister?…
