If I recall correctly, Andrea in the first season had said she missed her vibrator, and Carol was a surprising second to that emotion.

"gay guys" … "sniper guy" … "Alexandria lead lady" … "kid with the beanie" … "blonde lady" … Are you watching with the volume muted and closed-captioning off?
"I realized it's the humans who are the walking dead, not the zombies."
You don't say …

I know this was in jest, but the fact is that pasta makers don't actually make pasta; they just shape it. Carol was right to call Mrs. Niedermeyer out on that point. It was like Mrs. N was claiming to be such a great cook on the basis of a machine that wasn't available but also wasn't needed to make pasta. She…

I thought her departure was a callback to when Michonne had to choose between rejoining Carl and Rick, and going on her own with walker pets again (or early Daryl when Daryl believed that his odds were better on his own). Enid had been surviving on her own and shared Carl's skepticism about the safety of Alexandria. …

What I like about "undercover Carol" was that she truly didn't have to fake it. That was who she had been; it wasn't a lie. She knew the recipes, the bromides, the expectations, and the placations. And she knows how to spot the victims and perpetrators because that radar built up over time.

Correct on the statement to Carl. Wrong on the recon photos. Those were taken by Aaron as part of his recruitment effort, and he lost possession of the backpack at the cannery, which is why he is devastated when he finds (his) backpack and realizes that the photos are what led the Wolves to the town.

"He ruined your baseball arm"? Really? Ron's mother never mentioned baseball. She directly and necessarily reminded him that he had been permanently maimed by the father he was mourning, to the degree that he could not even raise his left arm. And she would feel some responsibility for that. To dismiss it in…

Is anything to be made of Ashildr's declaration that she had always known she was different? I thought the suggestion was that she, like the Doctor and Clara, was an outsider; not one of the locals; though even she might not understand why.

Because it's gross, it smells awful, and it would likely kill you from exposure to bacteria and other infectious agents if you had to do it more than absolutely necessary?

They did show him cuddled on Jessie's lap.

Yes, he clearly meant Carter. Awkward.

Did I mis-hear or did the Doctor, when he was trying to get O'Donnell to stay in the Tardis, say, "Sorry, I thought you were Donna"? Maybe he was speaking to Bennet instead, and said "O'Donnell"?

That was also in the remake of "War of the Worlds." Anyway, I understood it as that Travis wouldn't have suggested that Chris drive if they didn't both know he knows how. That would explain the bit of an eye-roll from Travis when Chris says he can't (meaning, he can't drive legally).

I'll back you up on that. Those security card swipes aren't a sure thing under the best of circumstances.

Strand showed a curiously good sense of how to navigate LA streets (and other avenues) in the ZA.

True but I had edited that to say "Superdome" within a minute of posting. Thanks for the additional information.

I'm thinking that the stadium reference is an allusion to the New Orleans Superdome during Katrina.

Tara did find a yo-yo.

It's apocalypse Brady Bunch.

It might be because of the new 'early man' discoveries, but my thought was simply that Nick is slender. He'll be able to get into narrow spaces that Strand can't. Doug would have been no help, if that's the case.
