"We brought dinner."

"I miss that lovable, stupid man."

"I'll hose you down while you're asleep."

"You look stupid."

Terrific episode. I gave it a 4 only because there were so many hanging threads with the people in Alexandria. I don't trust them.....from Deanna to the two jerks that pissed off Glenn.

I agree that it was a good episode and that we know nothing about the people in Alexandria that would lead us to trust them.

Why have we seen so few people? Why are some so interested in seeing a baby? Why haven't there been babies born in this walled in city?

Deanna’s suggestion that people give them space does not really explain why there are not more people milling around.

Who are the 3(?) that Deanna had thrown out? What were their crimes? Why didn't they "work out?"

I am really concerned about that. What if Daryl does not fit in, will they want to throw him out?

How long will Carol be able to maintain her Mrs. Goodwife role? I can't believe it will last long if she's pressed.

I think Carol can keep up a façade for a very long time. Abused women learn to hide their true feelings; she taught the children at the prison how to defend themselves without the adults catching on; she burned two people and the others did not guess it was her; and she shot the little girl and has kept it to herself. Rick is the only one who knows what Carol is really capable of and I think she can fool Deanna. Carol said “I really did not have much to offer this group so I just sort of became their den mother and they have been nice enough to protect me.” Where do you think you would fit in? “Do you have anything like a junior league? I’m a real people person.”  Carol to Daryl “Time to punch the clock and make the casserole.” She cracks me up.

How is Alexandria able to keep electricity and water going? Where are they getting the power?

“It’s a planned community with its own solar grid, cisterns, eco-based sewage filtration systems…” Deanna said the houses were all sold so what happened to the people who purchased them?

Loved that Michonne enjoyed her shower so much, but she may have too much of herself invested in the group liking and fitting in here.

Michonne seems really tired of living in the wild, but I think she will follow Rick if she had to make the tough decision.

Darryl is the only one who isn't changing. Will he ever shower and comb his hair?

I do not think I would recognize Daryl if he cut his hair. I hope the group does not move too quickly in trying to change Daryl because he might feel that they look down on him. He had low self-esteem issues before he was accepted as the group’s champion.

Where did Rick get that cheesy policeman's outfit? Why does he feel the need to wear that? What will Michonne do for a constable's outfit. I don't think her sword will fit into a holster.

I think Rick likes being a sheriff because it makes him remember what he was before.

Glenn sure has become strong. Remember him in the first season? I would never have thought he would become such a strong guy. He wants this to work, too. "We may have been out there TOO long."

Glenn has transformed from a playful boy into a strong man, but I hope he learns to laugh again.

Didn't miss not seeing Gabriel. But what about Abraham? What does he think of the place?

Maybe we will see Abraham's interview next week. I would like to see Deanna's reaction to him. I also love to hear Eugene talk so I want to hear his glib responses to the congresswoman.

Will the group break up and move into more houses?

Who do you think would live together? I think Rick, Carl, Judith and Michonne would stay together, but I don’t know about the others. They could separate into couples: Carol & Daryl; Abraham & Rosita; Eugene & Tara; Glenn & Maggie.

Looking forward to next week's episode.

Me too.

that guy fooling around with the walkers was dumb what if it would of got away and bite her which it almost did.

Right. How have those morons survived so long. when he tried to tell Glenn that he and Tara weren't ready to go on a run.

Speaking of Carol... if Aaron had been watching them for weeks... he knows exactly who carol is. Not this weakling she's pretending to be. I wonder if they'll address that or just totally overlook it.

[TheFlashFan]

Glenn been on a longer run vs the walkers then them.

[TheFlashFan]

my guess they are new to this stuff.

Great point! I wonder if Aaron knows what Carol is really like or not.

[TheFlashFan]

hopefully we find out or not before season ends.

[AntiArbitrator]

I thick Rick-nation might live in the community but they will always feel separate.

[TheFlashFan]

so far they are living in one house

[SoCal]

I see that next Sunday's episode is called "Forget." Interesting choice of titles: first "Remember" and then "Forget." I wonder what that portends?

[AntiArbitrator]

That sounds like they might become domesticated pretty quickly and put the past behind them. The danger of that is they need to remember the lessons that the Governor and Terminus taught them - people are not what they seem to be.

I guess the best case scenario would be if Rick's group bonds with Alexandria against a common enemy - the wolves, whoever they are.

[TheFlashFan]

its something I would do as well.

Yeah, like "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

[TheFlashFan]

would you trust them or not

[TheFlashFan]

I bet them gates won't hold the walkers out there for a long.

I would not trust Deanna or her family, but I would trust some of the other people.

I never thought about that, but it looked like a double layer of fencing, chain-link and those fancy panels. It was very scary when the walkers breached the perimeter at the prison and Rick and Carl worked as a team to kill them.

[TheFlashFan]

first rick was looking at him like what are you doing here then said heck with it and both team up too take out the walkers.

[AntiArbitrator]

New episode tonight so I am taking this opportunity to acknowledge Rick's audacity in showing his un-tanned naked butt in the shower scene.  No one seems excited about that scene, but he does have a nice chest. 

If one of our boys from SPN did that shower scene, the internet would have blown up!
