I think that prior to this episode Enid being a part of the wolves was a justified theory, but now it’s not. I think the whole point of this episode was showing that she was NOT harboring ulterior motives- she just trusts herself more than a group to survive. When she mentions that there’s too many corners to protect…

I took her comforting Jessie’s eldest as mourning-by-proxy. She never had a chance to mourn the loss of her own parents, by supporting another person dealing with loss she’s able to let herself mourn openly without formally leaving her shell.

Carol has so many faces. Master of the kitchen Carol. Storytime Carol. Teach the children how to use knives Carol. Scare the shit out of a little child for his own good Carol. And then there’s the best Carol: get shit done Carol.

I really don’t understand it. He’s been out in the same world that Carol, Daryl, Rick et al. have been in. Sure, maybe he hasn’t encountered the Governor and the cannibals, but surely he came across some terrible people. When you see a gang of ruthless killers coming in hacking your mates to pieces, you don’t simply…

I fucking love Scarol episodes. I get Morgan’s reasons for wanting to hold back on violence but at the same time, I wouldn’t say he actually successfully negotiated with the Wolves. Their retreat was purely strategic, not because of anything that Morgan said, except for ‘We have guns, you don’t’. That’s not a fault of…

Morgan’s not being rational at all. He’d rather knock someone out and waste precious time tying them up than go and save more innocent people who can’t protect themselves. He’d rather send away vicious enemies who will undoubtedly come back to kill them. How self-centered can he get?

I loved Carols housewife arc, LOVED, I’ve been that woman and I’ve known many women like her. The one that politely puts on her shell of civility while carefully keeping her knife sharp and gun loaded. It’s personality camouflage and it has always seemed like a woman’s strongest asset, the ability to be absolutely…

I agree with Morgan that no, you don’t ALWAYS have to kill, but if it’s not his fault the wolves came in the first place (since he didn’t kill them when he could have) it WILL be his fault the second time when they come back, now fully aware of the strength that is no longer on the inside since they murdered so many…

Great episode. I have been getting zombie burnout as of late, but Carol being Carol made me forget about that. Melissa McBride is the best actor on the show, period, and I absolutely loved her taking charge in this episode. And as much as I like Morgan, he was being pretty dumb here. What is to stop these people from…

No. There is an audio recording of the attack, that is in the possession of one of Treadwell’s friends, who, at the time of filming, had not listened to it. In the film, Herzog goes to her home, listens to it, and then tells her never, ever, ever to listen to it, ever.

This is SUCH utter bullshit. I was in the Army for twenty years. All us females carried our own fucking gear ourselves AND did the fucking 12k. The mythical “300-lb”troop with gear here is lying or a bigot, or both. And *I* AND another 120-lb. soldier carried the fucking SAW. The MP company we worked with had nothing…

My bopyfriend told me that when he was in the tank corp, his (male) lookout forgot to tell him they were about to plough straight through a farmhouse. They nearly died. Based on this, no men should be in the military because they cannot communicate effectively.

The commenter I responded to specifically said “drag” to cover. You drag with your legs. This is why the CF now requires you to drag/carry that weight. Virtually all of the women who try out can do it.

I have two females I work with that weight under 140 lbs and could not pick me up or drag me if their life depended on it.

My mother is enraged that her husband was never tried with any crime. Any time she hears anything about Yates, she goes on a rant.

I remember reading that Rusty Yates was apologizing to the police when they were at the house because the house was a mess. He was basically complaining that Andrea was a terrible housekeeper. Something about “I’d like to offer you a glass a water but we don’t even have a clean glass...” kind of bullshit.

Totally agree. When all of this happened though she got an incredibly harsh sentence based on the myth that she was an evil mother who robbed her husband of his children. The crime was so shocking that she was made an example. Sure, now people think Rusty Yates is a pile of crap but it’s a little too late. He got off…

That was true in the initial reporting of the Yates murders, but now that post-partum depression and psychosis has been given greater study as a serious medical condition, the more recent media presentations of the case do cast major shade on Rusty Yates as being extremely detached from his wife’s medical care and the…

And the total fucking pointlessness of the ridicule and boot straps approach. Who is it for? Your baby isn’t going to remember that sometimes the stress was a lot and you needed to hand him/her off and take a walk. In the long run, he or she doesn’t give a shit. That’s completely normal for a parent. That’s okay.…

I have a friend who had never wanted kids and I tell her DON’T do it if you already know you don’t want to. It’s the hardest job in the fucking world even when you really want them like I did. I wouldn’t trade it for anything but it scares me to think about people taking care of babies they didn't/don't want.
