The Walking Dead Recap and SPOILER Thread – A Gabriel Burn?

The preacher man says it’s the end of time…

Thoughts on last night’s episode:

-It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor

-Presumably, Gabriel is tearing the pages out of the Bible that say “Thou Shalt Not Eat Strawberries.”

-And Daryl has a bike again. A slightly different bike, so we can do toy variants.

-“I will install said shit” is the line of the night, already.

-Terrible dubstep survives the apocalypse, like cockroaches.

-We really have to have the broken windows theory explained? Sorry, Rick, she’s too clueless for you

-Eugene is like if Kenny Powers had a total emotional breakdown after the apocalypse. Still wrongly thinks he’s the shit, but somewhat afraid of asserting that belief now.

-I think the zombies in this warehouse are a metaphor for Black Friday shoppers. Which explains the riot gear guy being there. Why do I suspect the apocalypse fell on a Thanksgiving?

-A dude just exploded and you’re choking on styrofoam peanuts.

-I did not expect Aidan to go out like that. Or this soon. And wow, Eugene really sucks.

-The owl statue obviously means something, but I have no idea what yet.

-“I need to send a fax to Cleveland”? Just how easy are fax supplies and toner to come by?

-Dammit, Burt Gummer – bulldozer parts aren’t as easy to come by as fax machines. I presume, anyway.

-This construction site is the first thing I’ve seen in Alexandria that Todd McFarlane might make as a toy.

-Hashtag “DangerousWorkSite”? Marketing, you are trying too hard.

Talking Dead, where celebrities pretend to be us.

-It’s always cool when there’s a swinging mace just lying around.

-So, husband totally broke the owl, right?

-Eugene: “You should have believed me when I told you that I suck, in between the times I was trying to take credit for everything!”

-How come going for knee shots hasn’t been a strategy before? It’s kinda smart, actually.

-And Aidan is still alive. He’ll be nicer from now on.

-And now he’s dead, for real. So what was the point of any of that?

-“Pull the cobwebs out of your ass and move!” I’m not sure how the one leads to the other, but okay.

-If Abraham comes home looking hurt, somebody should ask him “Ginger yourself on the construction site?” He’d find that hilarious, I’m sure.

-Wait, when did Maggie start adopting the Rick Grimes accent?

-“Sometimes when I get sad, I break stuff” – useless mystery solved, folks.

-Is this really going to be as obvious as a case of domestic violence as it seems, allowing Rick to get laid without feeling bad about it?

-The zombies ate him two by two, hurrah, hurrah…

-So, the show responds to criticism of black characters dying after they finally show some depth…by killing off the main black cast member in the most violent, bloody way possible? Tumblr will be fun today.

-Damn, that Eugene actor cleans up nice.

-Called it – any time a character on a show drinks a beer during the day, it means they’re an alcoholic, and an evil one.

-Hmmmm…could it beeeeee SATAN? No, just Gabriel being a backstabbing douche.

-Oh man! I’m gonna have to kill the guy whose wife I want to bang anyway? Twist my arm, why don’cha?

I feel like they’re struggling to create conflict right now. Hope something bigger crystallizes by the end of the season.

You talk now.
