PFSIKH Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Never trust a member of Congress. Also TIL even after a zombie apocalypse they are still stupid. That is what I was thinking. I think it goes back to what rick said to Carl in the church. "Even when you think you are safe, you are not safe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 When he hit the shower man...that hat to hit the spot! Pretty nice house. Very strange that they would hand security over to Rick after one day. I think they have the exiled group planning a big attack and they know they need Rick and company to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm thinking too - I think they know they are weak, and are basically rolling the dice on Rick's crew becoming their mercenaries, no matter how they may think Rick's crew could burn them, because the alternative of folding to their exiled group is not an option. I'm glad we're past the contemplative whiny episodes and back to more dynamic content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked how Rick's hand marked up the wall during his interview with Deanna, and how Daryl split the guts of the opposum all over the porch. Filth and blood. Very symbolic of what the outsiders will bring to this sheltered little community of neophytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I wonder if there is some internal strife and she is looking to top grade. It seemed liked Aiden had history with part of his crew dying and the congress lady thanking Glenn for laying him out. Then there was the stylists husband and the creepy interaction with Rick. Maybe congress women doesn't have the control she thinks she does? Could make sense with the exiles and such. Did they say specifically how Aaron found the crew? How they located them, how long they watched them etc? And I missed it somehow? it's almost like they knew them all before they arrived. That part is still unclear to me and could be a factor.

I loved when they first let Aaron in the barn and Rick is standing there with a baby in one arm and a gun in the other looking like a badass. Then the scene where Sasha and Maggie have their guns pointed at Aaron with the music box going off and the sun rise in the background. Thought it was funny how Carrol gave up her guns and then delivered that interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well done, she is going our of her way to make the new community think she isn't a threat and a willingness to fit in, when we all know better. I didn't even know it was her at first when she stepped out of the house wearing that blue sweater...it just seems so...foreign, including the scene when they first arrive in a home that isnt filthy and ransacked.

Although a group does not seem like the Army Negan commands in the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I have answers, but I think we're looking at it the same way. Aaron was tasked to find muscle, muscle that Deanna could use as her own personal gestapo, in order to retain control over the waivering loyalty of her own camp and as protection from what's on the outside. I would guess that the little girl that Carl followed is definitely loyal to the outside threat - perhaps informing in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, while some of the writing has been on the weaker side, the creative consideration in the scenes is at an all-time high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be both an internal and external battle to be fought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we've learned anything watching this show, it is that any group of humans not in the community, is a threat. So it's a given that there is an outside element as threat, even if it isn't the exiled people, it'll be some group. The interesting part of the dynamic comes from the unrest within their community, especially when you consider that Deanna, the girl who cut Rick's hair, and Aaron and his boyfriend are all accepting of Rick's crew, while Deanna's son, his buddy and the girl who cut Rick's hair's husband all seem against Rick's crew's presence... it must mean that only those that want the peen are for Rick's crew staying. Joking aside, it looks like Deanna is making moves to retain power position and influence. It'll be a nice twist if her primary adversary is her own son.

Although a group does not seem like the Army Negan commands in the comic. Ultimately it's headed in that direction. Not sure I have answers, but I think we're looking at it the same way. Aaron was tasked to find muscle, muscle that Deanna could use as her own personal gestapo, in order to retain control over the waivering loyalty of her own camp and as protection from what's on the outside. I would guess that the little girl that Carl followed is definitely loyal to the outside threat - perhaps informing in some way. Interesting that she left shortly after the groups arrival, so she could be sending back word to another community - which may not be adversarial either. In order for the Negan storyline to work (as presented in the comics), they are multiple communities that exist in which he terrorizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 So nice to see something that you can actually have thoughts about. Rather than walk in woods, almost starve, almost get eaten. REPEAT. I like this direction. Pretty sure some meanies out there Rick and company will have to put the beat down on. Eventually this community will belong to Rick. I like it.

T0mShane Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Shane was my favorite character, and he was right: Rick was too soft to lead. What gets lost in the show is that Shane and the Governor were correct in their philosophies--that the crew had to get more cutthroat to survive. I think this is what Rick has ultimately learned, and what will play out in coming episodes. I wonder if the writers will let Rick acknowledge any of that.

I think he has and they have...between trying to become a farmer and keep Carl away from killing walkers...it all back fired. Now he's telling the crew they won't get soft and making swift decisions. Like when he ran over that cop from the Hospital and the lack of trust with Aaron. I think he knows he was too soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Something occurred to me today. If the congresswoman was handing out jobs, how the hell does she conclude that Glenn, the dumb chick, and the kid with the limp should be the ones to stick on the scavenger crew? Obviously, you'd pick the bigger, better athletes of the group to serve in that capacity, no? Abraham, Sasha, Daryl, whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wonder if that was what happened to the original crew her son was talking about? Did her son zombie them a la Shane and that guy that shot Carl?
