5.06 "Consumed"

[SoCal]

Looks like while Abraham and his group are trying to deal with Eugene's lies, our story shifts back to Carol and Darryl chasing the car with the cross on the back window. We know that these cars are used by the hospital where Beth is a prisoner so our duo are heading straight for trouble. Will Carol survive? How about Beth? Watch, discuss and rate.

I really appreciate the time that you put into these episode threads. The polls and preview videos help keep us updated and interested. Thank you.
Enjoy the show.

[SoCal]

My pleasure. It's fun to do. Glad you enjoy them.

SoCal Like Timmy, I truly appreciate you making the polls and I hope this episode does not rate a "0".

Why did Beth not walk out with them? Who would they care enough about to give a Viking's funeral, other than Beth? There is so much suspense.

[SoCal]

Anti, I know. I can hardly wait for this episode......

I really did enjoy this episode. I love learning more about Carol and Daryl. And it was nice for the roles to be reversed when Noah was trapped by the walker. I'm glad Carol did the right thing and saved him. Carol is NOT heartless
The scene with the child walker was very disturbing. And that child is who everyone was predicting was Beth when Daryl and Carol were around the fire in the clip. I teared up a bit in that scene ... it kind of felt like Daryl was giving Carol closure for Sophia.

One thing I didn't get is why Daryl would be so willing to trust Noah and run off with him. We know hes one of the good guys but he didn't leave Carol and Daryl with a good first impression

AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK. RICK AND MICHONNE ARE BACK. PRAISE JESUS

better episode tonight like it from start to the end only 2 episodes left of this year.

I enjoyed it and they had some unique walkers. There was one walker who kept swinging his arm against the vehicle's glass and then he had an awesome walk. He must have been practicing all year for that walk and they gave him center stage.

Daryl and Carol work well together. He seems more of an optimist at this time than Carol, but she has not given up. I thought Carol's trip to the hospital was planned, but, unfortunately, it was not. 

More to follow.

For a Darryl/Carol centered episode, I was surprised that I only liked it. I thought the Carol flashbacks didn't give us any new information, except for the one where she broke down in the car after Rick threw her out of the group. The rest of the flashbacks seemed to just be filler.

Evading all the walkers was pretty exciting although I thought they would be smarter than to get caught in that van. And for falling off an overpass....amazingly few new hurts, except for Carol's arm.

I did like that Darryl burned those child walkers, and Carol seemed very glad that he did it.

Where did Noah come from? You'd have thought he would have booked out of town. Glad that Carol convinced Darryl not to leave him for the walkers.

Darryl seemed more freaked that I've seen him in a long time when he saw Carol taken. I guess that's why he let Noah in the truck to head back to Rick and the gang.

I am thinking perhaps Daryl took Noah with him because he views him as a kid and he has a soft spot in his heart for kids.

I think Noah hung around because he planned to rescue Beth, but he needed weapons. 

Why did they tease us by letting us see Morgan when, apparently, it will be Noah with Daryl? Not funny.

I think there was a little flirtation going on between Daryl and Carol when they talked about the picture on the wall. When Daryl could not believe Carol liked the picture that looked like a dog's butt painted it, she said "You don't know me." and Daryl responded "You keep telling yourself that." I think that was the only light moment in the episode. They did get a good night's sleep, but I thought they might do more than sleep. Maybe Daryl is a gentleman and does not have casual sex with women who are ladies.

Did they explain why the people died in the sleeping bags and tent? Maybe they were caught when the military bombed the city.

[SoCal]

Anti, I think Darryl took Noah so Noah could tell Rick and the others what's happening in the hospital and what they will need to do to save Carol and Beth.

I wonder if Glenn and his group have turned back toward the church?

[mercurytheatre]

The whole episode seemed to be telling Carol's journey. It has me feeling that she is not going to make it.

If I heard right on The Talking Dead, Hershel gave the book to Lizzie and then he died. After Lizzie's demise, Carol took the book.

We see Daryl pack the book in the sack after Carol is taken. Is this a foreshadowing sign? I hope not, as Carol is definitely one of my favorites.

[mercurytheatre]

After reading a bit more, it was two different books ... so forget that whole theory.

Sorry about that.

Thanks. That is more logical than adopting a kid who fed you to a walker.

I wonder if we will see Glenn and his group before the break.
