The Walking Dead (Season 4)

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

Good episode last night, I definitely don't think it's the Governor doing any of this; much too subtle for his style.

I think Rick is about to get much more authoritative and try to take charge of the situation.

The little girl may be feeding the zombies and .....Carl may have burned bodies...look at her face when they talked about being sick and she said to do anything to survive

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

Pretty sure it's not the girl. I thought the same thing, but when I thought back to the feeding, the rat was held at mouth height right in front of the flashlight, which seems to indicate a taller person.

I would not be surprised if both (rats and burning) were Carol. The rats to keep everyone on edge and ready and willing to fight and the bodies to protect the group at all costs, not matter who it hurts.

They are setting her up as a polar opposite to Rick and they could ramp that conflict up rapidly with the quarantine angle they are getting ready to play and divide the camp into two groups. One that is willing to do anything to survive and another that values human life and more importantly humanity above all else.

They hinted at it multiple times, teaching the kids weapons without caring how their parents wanted them raised, some parents would understand some wouldn’t, Carol not really caring how messed up she made the kid by letting her kill her dad, putting her on blast in front of her sister, specifically saying she would do anything to survive, keeping things from Rick so he won't intervene. Rick is the new bleeding heart that’s being played up as weak and vulnerable, but they still show he can get down and dirty when necessary (that pig scene was awesome and very powerful). Daryl begging Rick to get back in the game and lend his voice to decisions. It could be just coincidence but they could be setting up Carol as an unlikely villain.

Add in this new quarantine angle where everyone is suspicious of everyone and everyone has their own ideas and its basically ripe for a faction war this season.

I don't think we will see the Governor until either the last couple episodes this season or until the beginning of next season. They need to let us he comfortable and sort of "forget" about him before they bring him back.

And I think the height of the "feeder" isn't as important as everyone thinks. I really think it's the little girl. And whether she was feeding a short walker, or had to climb up into something is possible.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

I don't think its Carl. They're segregating the sick to a different part of the prison, and I don't think eveyone knows where they are keeping them. It has to be someone who was in that room discussing the issue. Carol actually makes sense. They obviously had to be killed before they were dragged out there and burned. Carol has all the knives and was pretty quick to kill the father of the girls before he turned.

Have no clue on the rats though. It would make sense for them to be the same person, but I can't see why Carol would be feeding them.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

My first instincts tell me it's army medic. Something sketchy about him and something tells me he's suffering from PTSD and most likely is awake late at night looking at things to do.

My gut instinct is that it's Carl. Things have gotten too quiet around camp and I can sense that he's bored with his surroundings. Just like the reasons you all have said it's Carol (and keeping the group on guard) I feel is the same reason it's Carl. With walkers always around, they'll always need a fighting hand, and Carl is one of those. He finally got his gun back after the in-house attack, so part of his plan is working.

As for the bodies, I actually thought that the 2 burned themselves because they knew they were turning. But that wouldn't explain the blood trail. I'm going to go out on a whim and say that it was the army medic or Sasha.

I feel like they're giving a lot of air time to the army medic and he just came out of nowhere.

All this talk about this and that!

I felt really really really sad when not one, not two, but THREE pigs were sacrificed. No, there's nothing wrong with me. I love animals.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

Bummer losing Karen, but how about the way they're writing Beth as becoming the spiritual leader yet can thrust a knife into the brain of the dead with some kickass.

Tyreese is now going to go into depression and rage.

From the sounds of it on DeadTalk, there were 45 people at the start of season 4 and they just killed off 12 or so in this last episode. This still offers many more probable character introductions with story lines this season.

Very strong first two episodes. Good character development. Can't wait to see how things play out.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

In last weeks preview for this episode they showed clips of the infamous car scene but there was no car, I WANT MY CAR SCENE!

In all seriousness another great episode, lots of questions I can't wait to have answered through out the fall and next year!

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

I'm quite sure it's not the little girl and that's heading for something else.

Here's the comic to TV comparison for this week: http://screencrush.com/walking-dead-comic-tv-infected/

They're quite far gone from the comic with this storyline so not much in the way of possible future spoilers but maybe a little.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

I remember Herschel's quote from the previews, "we've already lost 12 of our own, two more in cold blood."

Perhaps those were the two killed in cold blood and we won't see someone snap and just start murdering people.

I felt really really really sad when not one, not two, but THREE pigs were sacrificed. No, there's nothing wrong with me. I love animals.

The pigs squealing got to me a little.

Honestly, I don't understand that scene.. Rick only took the walkers a couple hundred yards away from the fence, and another part of the fence looks like it's going to fall now too. The pigs won't distract them for long. I understand they think the pigs are what made people sick, but I feel like there could've been a better use of them to protect their camp.

It seemed like a very weak band-aid solution and was just something to highlight Rick's continued struggle with surviving vs. maintaining his humanity (that part was well done, and well acted, I thought).

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)

I feel like it was the other black guy. I'm not sure what his name is.
