The Walking Dead (spoiler tags for comic talk, no spoilers for tv talk) - CAAAAAAAAAAAAARL's a bitch

[Hirronimus]

I hate to admit it, but Macross maybe *hurk* onto something here.

Spoiler: show

Enid could be a stand in for Lydia. I know her parents died, but in a fucked up sense, Alpha could have adopted her. And the big reveal will be when we find out that all this time, she was spying on the group on behest of Alpha.

News is a couple days old, but it doesn't seem to have been discussed. Sonequa Martin-Green(Sasha) has been cast as the lead in the new Star Trek. Probably going to lose her after the mid-season premiere.

She's still alive in the show?

[Tyrath]

Yes?

People had been speculating for two seasons now that Enid was a member of the Wolves and the show creators haven't done much to downplay that idea when it's been brought up on Talking Dead.

[Hirronimus]

Oh. I forgot about Wolves. This show is becoming less and less memorable.

[kuronosan]

That's because Kirkman is becoming more involved with the story. Derrr. Their original stuff is way better than the constantly follow the comic crap, filler excluded.

The best worst series on TV is back on tonight, I am expecting nothing g less than epic derp.

...still watching though, so I guess it's doing it right?

[Gredival]

Yeah, like carl is a one man army haha.
Seriously tho, she could be a princess in disguise, who has told her army to stand back so she can have some fun as a plain citizen. Or maybe she has a furry green dragon hidden in the woods? Or she has a secret giant robo she can command with her watch or something. Anything is possible!

Sometimes I read this shit and I think that macross has to be some elaborate parody of stupidity, a cutting social commentary on the decay of modern society.

Then I remember it's macross.

[Cichy]

that is some serious deus ex machina at work with Rick finding a random group out of nowhere

[Hirronimus]

They are not random. They are the women of Island of Lesbos.

[Tyrath]

This episode was great for one liners

"Talk to him. Or stare him into submission."

"Now Skinny Joey is just Joey. What a goddamn tragedy."

Was a pretty good start to second half of the season. Now they're gonna go back to slow ass episodes.

[Tyrath]

They are not random. They are the women of Island of Lesbos.

It's not. There were dudes.

[Hirronimus]

It's not. There were dudes.

I wasn't referring to people from Oceanside.

[djzombie]

It's not. There were dudes.

I didn't go back to watch that scene again but I didn't notice anyone that was definitively a man. Lots of them had facemasks and they all seemed to me to have a profile of a female. Pretty sure that is why they cut to Tara during the scene.

I mean I literally checked before I made the post. Plus this sneak peak

I thought they were all women, too, but after seeing the sneak peek in Tyrath's post there were obviously men. I think they actually cut to Tara to show that there was no recognition on her part, specifically to tell us these *weren't* the women of Oceanside, because that was my initial assumption as well.

[ninjafox]

Don't think Rick knows somebody in that group, which is why he was smiling?

[Tyrath]

He's smiling because he just found an army to help with the Saviors.

Thought that was obvious. Maybe more so if you watch the sneak peak because he retains the smile while he looks around at everything.

[Malithar]

I haven't kept up with the comics in years to keep the show spoiler free. Is this something different than what happened in the comics? I remember a season or two ago they said they were going to get back on track with the comics, but considering no one has name dropped this group yet, it seems original.

Rick was definitely smiling because he found an army. From the first confrontation and the sneak peek though, something seems off with everyone having no expression or personality and being totally silent.
