RumHam Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Daryl was on his way to Alexandria but at some point he turned around and towards the end of episode 3, he is shown to have rejoined Sasha and Abraham.Ah ok I missed that. So they're still just trying to lead the other half of the heard twenty miles out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks to the weird pacing his arc has been "wants to go and find more survivors. Rides a bike slowly for 2 episodes. Rides a bike fast for an episode. Drives alongside Abraham. Not exactly an arc but a flat-line. The creators are coasting on his popularity at this point. It seems you have to be Rick or Morgan to get a story this season. Carol survives thanks to getting awesome moments but the rest are stuttering along.yea, I said that wrong. Since the group has been in Alexandria, he just doesn't seem to be doing anything really. Its like his character has grown stale. It worries me for ol' Daryl. He's been one of my favorites from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You think the actor would be pretty bored too but I guess he may be happy cashing the cheque and having time to do small films and computer games that never get released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieStone Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Well, Darryl got his air time tonight. At this point in the zombie apocalypse, why do people keep walking up to dead bodies without checking to see if they're zombies first? The insulin girl was just stupid. And Sasha not killing that zombie in the office building. How are you supposed to sleep with that thing pounding at the glass wall 2 feet away. And how are you supposed to hear any other trouble coming if you let that thing just keep making noise. Not to mention, her brother was killed because he decided to ignore a zombie behind a closed door. I didn't record the Badlands show after TWD, so I didn't see the previews for next week...just the the 5 second clip showing Rick wiping at the blood coming through the wall. (I don't remember since the threads go nuked...was it this one that someone was arguing it was just a shadow on the wall?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitac Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So Glenn is alive then. Right? Walkie Talkie convo: "zombie growl followed by 'help'." Here I thought they'd wait until the season finale. I was so bored during this episode, I started playing Candy Crush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underfoot Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So Glenn is alive then. Right? Walkie Talkie convo: "zombie growl followed by 'help'." Here I thought they'd wait until the season finale. I was so bored during this episode, I started playing Candy Crush. I heard that Norman Reedus(?) denied that it was Glenn talking on the radio at the end. Heard the name Morales thrown around -- is that the family that left in season 1? If so, that's crazy...

dooog Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Another poor episode.The only highlight was that hilariously stupid death in the burnt out greenhouse, how the hell did that Darwin award nominee manage to survive the apocalypse so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, her brother was killed because he decided to ignore a zombie behind a closed door. I think the problem was they couldn't really get to it. It was locked in what appeared to be a conference room with very thick glass. I suppose you could have tried to blow it open but that seems like a lot of effort for little gain.

MisterOJ Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The bit with the insulin annoyed me to no end.Me too. And I normally don't let things like that bother me, but there is no way a diabetic person would last that long into the ZA. Other than that, though, I enjoyed the episode. But, I enjoy most all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I enjoy most all of them.I wouldn't last long at all. Cleaning out a pharmacy of insulin is easy enough but the lack of food would kill me quick. I actually cringed when they gave that young woman a large dose of insulin like that. If anything she might need something to boost her sugar after being on the move.

Doesn't insulin have a fairly short shelf life too? Like, considerably less than the two-plus years that have passed since the world went to crap on the show? Not to mention, the whole "needs to be refrigerated" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Aeternum Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, that was just a really sloppy episode. The chase and gunfight logistics at the beginning made no sense, the insulin thing beggared belief, then the sheer idiocy of the diabetic girl bumbling right up to a couple of dead people (I mean come on, we all know dead people don't really die in this setting). Plus the switcheroo from the other two newcomers turning on Daryl at the end was just cheap and didn't feel right, especially after he'd gone way the hell out of his way to help them. But it turned out OK since they conveniently happened to leave a fuel truck out there in the woods for him to find (a massive WTF from me on that one). Apart from introducing this new "threat" and hinting at a dubious romantic pairing between Abraham and Sasha, it felt like this hour accomplished nothing whatsoever.

Martini Sigil Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 There were a couple of things I liked in this episode... Darryl getting robbed by a hot chick.... Abraham & the impaled soldier... Abe & Sasha gunning down the douchebags chasing them.... and I couldn't help but wonder if the diabetic chick tasted like a diet human.

Dr. Pepper Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 My cable and dvr crapped out last night so i'm not sure what i did manage to catch later was even the whole episode. I liked some parts of it, but I couldn't help but wonder if the writers forgot that 2-ish years have passed. A lot of the dialogue seemed to act as though it was still in the first six months post apocalypse. The group Daryl ran into sounded like they were talking about having burned the forest down in the first few days of the zombie outbreak. Though, perhaps I missed a big chunk?I did like most of the Sasha and Abe stuff, though I'm sort of worried there will be relationship drama as I thought Rosita and Abe were sort of an item. Or maybe that ended already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I guess there's no need to repeat all the ways this episode was dumb. My son was sure the voice at the end was Glenn. Why would anyone who was not part of the Zombie herding crew have a radio? Perhaps if it is a long lost family from season 1 they might have somehow stumbled onto a badly injured yet somehow miraculously not bitten Glenn, and so they respond on Glenn's radio?Though there is still a good chance that even if it's Glenn's radio the people talking on in picked it up off Glenn's well eaten corpse.I don;t know whether the reveal that Maggie is pregnant makes it more or less likely that Glenn is alive. On the one hand we have a baby without a father juxtaposed with Judith being a baby without a mother...quite how she has survived with no breast milk and very little infant formula is hard to fathom. At least with Maggie being alive her baby actually has a clean and reliable food supply. On the other hand we are very short on 2-parent families.The reason Darryl's bike needed to be stolen was because it's hard to get 3 people onto a motorbike. And even harder to then get Glenn onto the motobike, or whoever it is that is talking on the radio.I am liking the addition of a grenade launcher to the arsenal.
