showed an reanimation during an MRI, of the brain, and I really couldn't see too well the spinal cord/brain junction. (Retired Radiologic Technologist here). The medulla oblagata, controls autonomic breathing marked on this stolen from the internet view shows the areas


so there must be enough biomechanical events in a zombies body/form to keep them low level alive.
I might be thinking too much about this, cause my next ?, since zombies eat, they have to poop, their colons and stomachs would eventually explode or rot as their outsides do.

Can we nominate her for an Emmy already?

Melissa McBride had all but given up on acting, was working as a casting agent for local productions in Atlanta, when Frank Darabont gave her a call for a throwaway role in a TV series he was producing.

She was supposed to be killed off.

And now Carol Peletier is the most bad-ass woman on television.

Last episode, after that guy got his face bitten off, Rick sent Morgan back to town to say that they had to put the plan into action sooner than they expected. That's why he got back sooner.

His mantra can be maintained without compromise as long as he's a loner. But he is directly responsible for the attack on Alexandria because it would never have mattered that Aaron left that bag behind if Morgan had killed the Wolves the first time he saw them. I have to believe that Aaron understands this and, hopefully, will tell Rick.

Prediction: If more people fall because he refuses to kill, Rick will either banish him or Carol will bring him an especially charming bouquet of flowers.

117. On Talking Dead
Tue Oct 20, 2015, 08:24 AM
Oct 2015

she was asked if she would be back, and she couldn't say... but, she said that if she did come back, people would be pleasantly surprised. I took it to mean pleasantly surprised at her character, not her coming back.

Maybe she was a Wolf, but hung around in Alexandria so often that the safety (and Carl) got to her? If she has been there for months, it seems unlike the Wolves because they don't seem like long-term planners.

Recap




http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/201...d-kevin-smith/

Chris asks how long Enid was on her own and she says just a week or two. She says enough to where she got into survival instincts.

Just Survive Somehow. Chris asks about JSS. She says in her head it was something she thinks her parents told her that a lot.

Chris asks Katelyn why Enid has every key in Alexandria and says she knew it wasn’t going to last so was making escape plans and keys help with that.

Katelyn gets a question about Enid’s relationship with Carl. She says it was genuine and that was part of why she left because she can’t go through loss again

Katelyn says she hopes Enid will be back and if they do, they may be pleasantly surprised

I heard this from one of the wolves to Morgan during the attack, "You live here?"
I couldn't remember how or when in the series he had his initial encounter.
A little googling jarred my memory.

Carol - badass. Smart cookie. No more Betty Crocker. She's the Martha Stewart of butchering by disguise.
Morgan - YOU.HAVE.TO.KILL. Sorry, man. That's just the way it is now.

Those idiots you allowed to live? They WILL be back.

Jessie went berserk. Good! Hope she can absorb what she had to do and not allow it to hobble her.

Ron. Ron, Ron, Ron. Get over it already.

And it all happened in the time it takes to bake a casserole.

I thought it was a little more realistic than her Rambo act that started Season 5.

Ron's a hormonal teenager - even the apocalypse can't stop that.

He wanted a gun. He was willing to act to save his Mom. He knows Carol isn't the happy homemaker (Why, Mrs. Peletier, your canned ham with cola....) and still wants to be around her. Carol fights it but she likes Sam. For all that, Ron will probably survive and Sam will die. Jessie is to her children what Rick is to his...that's how they became the Grimes Bunch. (Sorry)

Carol's smoking kills was priceless....though death by machete isn't listed on the pack.

Deanna looks defeated.

Maggie is doing for her what Hershel did for Rick - work the earth.

Wonder where Enid went? Back from whence she came? A den or maybe the top of a hill somewhere?

That poor turtle.

The initial speculation was that she was a spy for the Wolves, but I don't think so now. They don't seem like the types that plan that far ahead.

She could also be a spy for the Hilltop community that they'll be meeting in the 2nd half of the season.

or, she could just be a scrappy survivor.
