oh ok couldn't tell from the previews and i never read the comic novels.

this episode i didn't mind so much. kinda got my mind thinking. will everyone stay there? Some people seemed to like it others didn't. will they take over like rick kinda hinted at at the end?

rival.

great episode - the pieces are being set. 1) carol playing innocent and naive, just in case anything goes to shit, she can unexpectedly jump into action against the community and catch them off guard 2) who are the three exiled men? is it possible one of them is negan? i know he doesn't appear until much later on in the comics, but for the sake of the show's flow, i can see them introducing him earlier 3) is that young girl sneaking off and providing the three exiled men with information on the community? is it possible one of the men was her father? 4) was rick and company intentionally lured there to help fight off the exiled men/negan that might be harassing the community?

those were all of my thoughts last night. i know the community's fate by reading the comics, it will just be interesting to see how the show's writer alter or tweak here and there.

I have so many questions...

Where is the water, sewage, electricity coming from?

Where's the rest of the community, we saw 7 or 8 adults and a few kids.

This community doesn't seem that large or well protected. A rogue group of assholes could easily over run it. Who's defending it?

When did the group turn from survivors to potential predators.

^^^ seen the solar panel grids in one of the shots.

Deanna explained to Rick that it had been built as a "sustainable community" with solar power and cisterns. So getting water from rain into the cisterns would be easy. But they need power to get it into a water tower so they can have running water, or at least pumps to pump it into homes. I guess the solar power provides the electricity. They showed us the solar panels. I think she also mentioned something about the sewer system too, but can't remember.

I agree with you that there sure doesn't seem to be any qualified defenders. Hard to believe they made it this far without other groups taking over or raiding the place. Maybe they have managed to stay hidden this long, but if three men were "exiled" then the secret will be out. I think we are supposed to believe that is why Deanna and group want our group in their community. They know how to fight and defend.

If I were Rick or any member of the group the first thing I would have done would have been to sneak around and get the lay of the town and find out where my dang guns were! Then find a way to access them if needed. Rick was smart to hide the hand gun in the blender. Too bad it didn't work. And each of the group needs to go out and talk to people of the town and then come back and report what they have found out.

Overall, I liked this episode. I thought it was nerve wracking because I kept waiting for something bad to happen. There was this sense of eeriness - like in a horror movie. And what made the noise that got Carl's attention and made him check out the attic/bonus room?

I thought the episode was great, and am excited to see where it goes the rest of the second half. Those kids that Karl was hanging out with were using the room as a clubhouse of sorts. Karl returned his comic and he apologized saying he didn't realize they moved in there.

i think the community is larger than we saw. either, a) they aren't showing rick and company all their cards yet, just like rick b) too many new people to introduce in one episode.

deanna also explained that alexandria was one of the first areas evacuated when everything went down, kind of explaining the lack of both the living and walkers in that immediate area, so it's not too far of a stretch to believe that is the reason why that community has not been found yet.

that young girl sneaking over the fence is shady. she has to be the one that took rick's gun.

HughFreakingDillon

If that group lost 3 or 4 people just last week, it is pretty easy to see why they recruited rick and co. to join them. They NEED them. Tying up walkers as revenge? Thats pretty fucking stupid, obviously.

I bet wall climber girl is lady senators daughter. Just a hunch.

Very intersting that carol is playing up the useless housewife angle. Daryl is actually going to end up being the useless one. He has zero community skills.

My buddy hates glenn. Always has. I think hes a badass. Plus, hes bangin' maggie. That alone gets my respect.

Its not really predation. Rick explained to the senator that they shouldnt be opening their walls to anyone, as it is all about survival. I think he was talking about them. He is willing to make it work, but if walker wrestler keeps his shit up, he wont have any issue taking over.

I have a feeling, though, that something is going to happen to galvanize the groups.

I didnt see the preacher guy either? What happened to him?

And good catch paulonious I was wondering who the little girl was....that makes sense she could be her daughter!!

Totally. I didnt see father whatshisname either. Weird.

Riverrunner

I was also wondering about Father Gabriel but I think I saw him standing in the background in the living room of the new house. I don't think that the girl is the congresswoman's daughter. One of the boys told Carl that she was from the outside too and had been there for 8 months.
