NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)we were discussing the episodes on here, and somebody had to work on a Sunday night, but wanted an update on what was happening because they could check DU at work, but not watch TV.

(53,339 posts)The self-righteous with their 'Kill Your TV' BS don't know what they're missing.
sometimes, after a long day at work, it's good to just plop down in front of the TV and watch something.

(32,967 posts)air has to move past vocal cords to make speech, are they low level live enough to have oxygen exchange in their lungs to make sounds?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)the vocal chords may be intact enough to allow for the simple growling sound.
irisblue
(32,967 posts)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.
Baitball Blogger
(46,699 posts)But your explanation sounds more feasible.

(5,604 posts)Funny thing, I just turned on my tv, and it was still on AMC from last season's finale. Goes to show how much I watch tv!

bettyellen
(47,209 posts)EL34x4
(2,003 posts)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.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)where is everybody else?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)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.

Baitball Blogger
(46,699 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)though, he may have learned his lesson by the end.
Baitball Blogger
(46,699 posts)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.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)Morgan may be changing. At least that was the implication I got from him.
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)though, I obviously hope you're wrong. That was pretty intense with him and those 5 Wolves
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)about where he learned how to use his staff? The cheesemaker?

(56,828 posts)this episode played more like a season opener - at least compared to last year's season opener.

Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)I hope down the road in season 15 she has to infiltrate a group of mimes or something.

(56,828 posts)the only people left in town probably know she's a bad ass

(5,604 posts)thank you
Baclava
(12,047 posts)But what the hell is wrong with Morgan? - why did he just let them go? To regroup? that's plain stupid...I don't care what his conscience told him - they are still a threat
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)at least knock them out & take them prisoner.
Still, it was almost like one of those martial arts movies with the hero surrounded by a lot of bad guys, and the hero still kicks their asses.
Baclava
(12,047 posts)Unless Morgan used to run with them - then he can tell us
EL34x4
(2,003 posts)The rest of the season is going to have some pretty big shoes to fill.
Baclava
(12,047 posts)Usually when someone has a close-up segment into their lifestory, they die soon after.
Enid the red-lipped turtle sucker is more bad-ass than she lets on... a Wolf?...what's with all the keys?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)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.
Baclava
(12,047 posts)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 wasnt going to last so was making escape plans and keys help with that.
Katelyn gets a question about Enids relationship with Carl. She says it was genuine and that was part of why she left because she cant go through loss again
Katelyn says she hopes Enid will be back and if they do, they may be pleasantly surprised
Tripper11
(4,338 posts)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.

(90,762 posts)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've been busy making masks (paper mache) to tuck away in the shrubbery with chem lights inside.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I thought it was a little more realistic than her Rambo act that started Season 5.
Agree on those guys that Morgan let escape.
Ron's a hormonal teenager - even the apocalypse can't stop that.
Cool idea with the masks with chem lights inside.
Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)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.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)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.
Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)I worried she was a spy because she is definitely more than she appears.
Baitball Blogger
(46,699 posts)pleasantly surprised.
Is the Hilltop gang good people?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)Swipe to the right [font color=white] Yes, they are good people and one of several communities in the DC area that trade with each other. However, soon after they go to Hilltop is when they meet The Saviors and Negan. [/font]
