The "focus on one group" episodes from the back end of season 4 are some of my favorites - specifically, "Still". While I enjoy whipping back and forth between stories, staying on one group for a whole episode allows the pace to slow a bit and for the characters to have some room to breathe.

Survive. Clearly they've created a safe environment, albeit one that has serious drawbacks. For people that are there: what's their option? Go out into the zombie-filled streets? And why would Beth ask a bunch of questions? Once she's established that she doesn't want to be there, her focus is on escaping, not on…

Agreed - the "Beth in a hospital" storyline doesn't seem to have any parallel to the books. My only question is: is it possible we're seeing a flashback combined with present day? In other words, could Beth be in the hospital building and looking out on the ruins of Atlanta, then we cut to a flashback where the cop…

Keep in mind that unless you have a really safe place to hole up (the prison, Woodbury), you're actually safer being mobile. You need to move to scavenge as much food as possible, and if you stop moving, you're a target for walkers. If you stay in place, you're going to exhaust your food supplies and need to move…

Following Abraham doesn't necessarily mean they believe Eugene's story. He's a capable soldier. You want those guys in your group. It's possible to doubt Eugene but still want to follow Abraham for protection, leadership, etc.

In the comics, Abraham has some personal demons, so part of it could be latching on to Eugene's story simply because it gives him a mission to execute. If he keeps on mission, he doesn't have to think about things that are eating away at him. He may have doubts about whether Eugene's story is legit, but he's not…

The one where Harrow almost commits suicide, only to be interrupted by the dog. So unique.

I loved that the final scene (aside from the brief scene of Nucky swimming) referenced what I still think is the apex of the series - Jimmy's death. To me, the series has been a slow dying process. Liked season 3, was meh on season 4, hadn't really enjoyed season 5 thus far, but it feels like this makes it all make…

It wouldn't make any sense for Beth to be with Darryl, IMHO, because then there's no point to her being taken. She has to still be in the city in order for the plot to make sense - i.e. for a multi-episode arc where the group has to rescue her. My guess is that Daryl and Carol followed the car back to the hospital,…

That's sort of the point - they're not very good at being bad. They're far less competent than Rick's group. Hence why they've been dispatched in episode 3.

Morgan, perhaps. He appears to have been tracking someone based on the markings on the trees. He may have been tracking the people who took Beth, seen her taken to the hospital in Atlanta, then saw Darryl and Carol when they arrived, and warned them. Only thing is, how would he know either of them? As best I can…

No one will ever touch Marilyn Manson for the #1 spot in worst "Talking Dead" guests.

It wouldn't be the cannibals - no way they would have left Gabriel there alive. They're too competent and well-armed. It would be people who were just ordinary folks - his congregation, townfolk, etc - who came to the church for shelter and he wouldn't let them in. And if the cannibals did encounter the church, I'm…

But it makes sense. If you're a group of cannibals and your safe haven has just been blown up real good, aren't you going to track the bunch of people you know are in the area so you can eat them?

To be fair, it's really only Abraham that's enthusiastically bought into Eugene's story. Rosita is along for the ride because she needs protection. Rick knows it makes sense to stick with Abraham since he's a valuable soldier. He's not going to abandon him unless he has a good reason to do so. And until/unless…

There's no way Glenn dies.

I definitely think it would be rewarding for Unser and/or Nero to be the ones who figure it all out. They both love her. Does that love trump their need to see justice done for Tara?

That's fair, but I think the number of people who are expressing frustration is greatly outnumbered by the number of people who delight in showing off their ability to tear apart the show. It's one thing to say this or that didn't work for me. It's quite another to openly mock everyone involved in the show for how…

Because everyone loves to show how much smarter they are than the writers. People hate-watch so they can post snarky comments about how terrible the show is. Everyone (including the reviewer) has to make it all about themselves so they can show how they're the smartest one in the room.

I don't understand why revealing Gemma's secret means the viewer can't be sympathetic to Jax. We know - he doesn't. He's doing terrible things, but he has no idea they're terrible. You can't be sympathetic for that? And why does making everything SAMCRO does feel horrible have to be a bad thing? Maybe we aren't…
