5.11 "The Distance"

[SoCal]

It looks like we'll find out something about Aaron, who showed up at the end of last week's episode when he startled Maggie and Sasha. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Can he help our group or hurt them? Will Rick and the group let him in or toss him to some random walkers? Who is he? Why does he look so clean and healthy? Where is he leading them? Looks like the group is heading for trouble. Watch, rate and discuss.

It looked as if a walker was trying to snack on Glen's arm. I am not ready for anything like that.

[SoCal]

I'm not either, AA. Especially right after the loss of Beth. Is there someone there who could push Gabriel in between the walker and Glenn?

[AntiArbitrator]

 Gabriel is probably the only one I would not mourn.

I haven't met one person that actually likes that wimp! YAY tonight.

Beautiful episode. I just loved everything about it. Rick listening to Michonne. GLENN MENTIONING DALE. Rick hearing the children at the end and finally he knows it's a safe place for Judith and Carl. And best of all, no deaths.

look like it safe from next episode did like this episode when they run over the walkers it was like they was playing a pinball game boom with gross results least they won't worry about them.

[AntiArbitrator]

I think the episode deserves a 5 for drama, suspense, flared walker, reconciliation, love, and keeping hope alive.

I knew Glenn was tough, but I was still impressed when he wiped zombie guts off of the windshield with his bare hand. After the pinball ride. Michonne snatched walker limbs out of the car grill as if “squeamish” is not in her vocabulary.

I think Rick punched Aaron because he talked too much, not because he wanted to tie him up. Aaron kept going on and on like a con man or used car salesman. The amusing thing about that is Aaron kept talking after he came to. I was glad he explained why he was willing to walk into danger like that. Also, when Rick wisely told him to eat some of the apple sauce, he gave him a long spiel about why he does not like it. He is lucky Rick did not shove the jar down his throat. Yes, I do like Aaron in spite of his being a chatter box.

I knew it was significant when Rick asked Michonne what did she hear when she approached the Governor’s compound and what did she hear when they approached Terminus. It was very good to hear children playing when they reached the Alexandria community. I do not know if they told us what they call their community.

There are too many characters for them all to get a lot of speaking lines, but I love hearing Eugene talk, even if it is just about a poker game. “Seven card stud. Stares and squares, aces, cuatros, neeners, and two-eyed jacks.” 14 wild cards, are you serious? “Serious as two copulating dogs.”

Michonne and the others were very strong and stood up for what they believe to be the best action to take. I like the friendship that has developed between Rick and Michonne, but I do not ship them. I was going to ship Michonne and Aaron, but Eric got to him first. I am glad Rosita is willing to get past what Abraham did to Eugene.

I liked seeing Judith sit up and I am waiting to see her crawl. As soon as Rick handed her to Carl, she stopped crying. That was sweet. With Beth and Tyreese gone, I wonder if Rick carries Judith around because he is now the nurturer in the group. I feel like Judith belongs to the entire group…their little beacon for a future.

It is time for them to find a sanctuary where they can shower and SHAVE.

next week episode look good too.

[SoCal]

I enjoyed the episode, especially seeing Michonne stand up to Rick. Could she become a new leader? Darryl seems to be Rick's second in command, but I don't think he wants to lead.

I still don't trust Aaron.

[AntiArbitrator]

I don't blame you for not trusting Aaron, but I think he will turn out to be trustworthy. It is about time for the group to meet someone who is sane. 

[SoCal]

AA, you're right. There has to be someone in the world our little group can trust. I'm just not sure about Aaron.
