The walking dead amc #2

[Jennasis]

My take on the red poncho guy was that he was the smokescreen zombie walking around the trucks to make people think that the food trucks hadn't yet been looted yet. When Darryl got to the fence there were a few zombies outside that they easily killed and that made them think the food trucks were full. They killed him so that he could lure other people into thinking the same thing.

But WHY? What is the point of luring people to the trucks at all? To steal their backpacks??

I just watched a second time tonight, and I just caught the backpack scene and then the Wolf (???) looking at Aaron's ASZ photos.

I think they are luring the Walkers into those trucks, so they can release a big, giant zombie herd somewhere beneficial to them (the Wolves). Like the ASZ.

Some people are just homicidal maniacs...

That said, the who was talking to Morgan went into some monolog about "Indians and the white man" and some other back story about the Natives evolving form wolves... I don't recall exactly.

Aside from being homicidal maniacs, I think the one guy is using history to justify their current actions.

Making an army could certainly be a reason as well. Walker bombs work pretty well.

It's easier to lure people into a trap than go out foraging on your own... it would seem anyway. They also were out of ammo (as Morgan found out), so hunting humans with knives is far more dangerous than hunting walkers with knives.

Abraham is growing on me. How could you not love his "Vast ocean of ****...." Speech?!?!

 

[denisem]

Yup, loved Abraham's speech - I laughed out loud when (paraphrasing) he was relating that Rick is well acquainted with GRAINS of "BLANK".

BTW, all the porch blank references show me who watches TTD, LOL.

 

[monica9]

I agree- Abraham is in my top 5 now.
I think pp (live your life) is correct. They are trying to grow a huge zombie army and that's why they are herding everyone into the trucks.
Good point about the missing license plate and how Daryl hesitated. Hmmm.....makes me wonder if Aaron used to be part of the Wolves? I truly believe Aaron is a good guy...at least now.
I believe the reason Carl, beth and the others weren't at the meeting is because they are children and there is no reason for them to be there.
As far as the note from Gimple during the Talking Dead......does that mean that the walkers will be the main threat this season?
I'm mad that I missed the first 10 minutes of the finale where Morgan did his kung fu. Sounds like it was a good intro into the show. Looks like we are going to have to watch it.

Before they slit his throat didn't they say "Welcome Home"? It led me to believe he was apart of the wolves and he had messed up somehow.

Yes, they did tell Red Poncho Guy "Welcome Home" before slitting his throat. I don't think RPG is a part of the Wolves. They just caught him (almost like they tried to do with Morgan in the beginning), killed him and will let him turn. Then they'll carve a "W" into his forehead and RPG ends up in the back of the semi with the rest of them....hence "Home".

I just took "Welcome Home" as in he's now a trailer zombie, this is where he'll stay. I just think the Wolves are kidnapping innocent humans, and killing them, so they can keep a corral of zombies to use to trap people. They wouldn't be able to herd already zombies into that area, they have to send humans in there and then kill them.

Did anyone notice that Michonne's katana had blood on it, before Pete (aka: PD) even slashed Reg's throat?

This makes me nervous. Carl (who they won't kill off), Judith, Rosita, and Tara were not at the "meeting". Do we think PD could have killed one of them before going to the meeting? And that is how they will open Season 6?

I saw that too but not sure what it could mean. During Rick's monologue at the meeting before all that went down, they did show Carl with Judith and Rosita with Tara (showing that Tara is alive) so I don't think any of them are dead. Another forum speculated Pete could have killed Sam or his other son. In the comics, Pete and Jessie only have one son.

My take on the red poncho guy was that he was the smokescreen zombie walking around the trucks to make people think that the food trucks hadn't yet been looted yet. When Darryl got to the fence there were a few zombies outside that they easily killed and that made them think the food trucks were full. They killed him so that he could lure other people into thinking the same thing.

I mentioned earlier that red poncho guy, in my opinion, was just a way to show the viewers how the Wolves are corraling all those zombies into the fenced in area and the trailer. How they managed to get so many in their (kidnapping humans and killing them before sending them into the fenced area), and it also shows viewers why they wanted to kidnap Morgan earlier, and what they intended to do with him.

Why they want to trap humans is a whole other question. It could be to raid their belongings AND maintain a herd to unleash on a place like Alexandria, as a PP mentioned. But that theory would beg the question why they would want to destroy Alexandria. For what benefit? If they unleashed a herd of that size there, it's not as as if those two Wolves guys could clear it and kill them all to take over Alexandria. They wouldn't even be able to enter to steal their supplies if the herd got in. Not sure what their end game would be.

So was the trap meant to kill them or were they meant to be trapped in the car that was conveniently placed so the wolves could come and disperse the walkers and capture D and A? It would explain the "don't stay" note. Did they attempt to kill Morgan because he wouldn't cooperate when the gun was pointed at him or were they going to kill him anyway? Do they just want the stuff or are they looking for captives?

I suspect that the goal was to get the humans into the car, have the walkers surround them, and then the Wolves would capture the humans (Darryl & Aaron in this case) alive, steal from them, and then kill them. It would be difficult to steal from a walker so having the walkers kill them before making it to the car wouldn't be ideal.

As far as Morgan, I think Morgan WOULD have been the Red Poncho Guy had he not fought back and escaped. Red Poncho Guy, IMO, served no purpose other than showing us why the Wolves were trying to kidnap people - so they can steal from them, kill them, and send them to the fenced area to keep their corral of walkers.

The license plate thing...Aaron and his partner mentioned, back in the episode we saw the 2 of them, that the partner (what's his name) collects them and wants all the states and needed that one (what state was it again, Alaska or something?). So he got it for his guy.

Maybe PD (Pete) killed the partner guy before he came and killed Reg (with Michonne's sword)??? Maybe poor Aaron will come back with that plate for his guy and find him dead. Maybe they are setting up for, don't flame me, Daryl to be gay (have heard folks say they think he's gay) and Aaron's next love interest.

 

[sharona]

I guess I'll have to watch again because I didn't notice anything weird about Michon's sword or PD's machete having blood on it before stabbing Deanna's husband. I also didn't think the lack of license plate on the truck was significant at all, I assumed they were building the suspense for us since we all were screaming in our heads "don't open it, don't open it, DON'T OPEN IT!".

 

[Jennasis]

Pete didn't use a sword did he?. It was some sort of serrated edge blade it looked like.

 

[sharona]

I thought it was a machete but I was too busy wincing to notice for sure.

 

[nkereina]

Pete didn't use a sword did he?. It was some sort of serrated edge blade it looked like.

I instantly thought it was Michonne's katana, and have found several articles about the finale confirming the same. But I don't think we ever saw it close enough to know for certain. We also saw Michonne wiping off her katana and putting it on her back during the scene after the credits. I think we can assume that scene took place AFTER the whole Pete incident - she wipes off the blade, and puts it on rather than back on the wall as a way to show she now realizes she needs to keep her guard up even inside the walls of Alexandria.

 

[anniemae]

I think we all need to go back and re-watch it then report back. I missed so much, the machete/Katana debate, the missing license plate, the two wolves looking at aarons photo's (don't know how I missed that).

 

[Jennasis]

Okay...went back to watch slowly. Ot was definitely the sword.

 

[DisneyLover1217]

I'm wondering if those Wolf guys have the trucks to hitch to those trailers and they take their "army" of zombies and take over communities that are trying to form. For example, the town where they went with Noah that was obviously invaded. The wolves could bring the trailers to the community, let the zombies out of the trailers and then when the zombies are finished killing everyone, they turn the music and lights back on to herd them back into the trailers and then they are free to pillage the community. So I can see that now happening with Alexandria. The question is why do they not see killing EVERYONE is not a good thing. Deanna realized they need outsiders to help them flourish.

 

[Jennasis]

I just think it's also wacky that they are 50 miles from Alexandria (according to Aaron) and we are worried the Wolves will find them and attack. Unless there's a map in that pack along with those pictures.

With the size of Georgia its almost inconceivable that people would ever magically stumble upon each other, like Morgan. but again, gotta suspend that disbelief.

Aaron's boyfriend was at the meeting. You can see him with the people sitting down

It appears the Wolves don't have any ammunition. (Morgan picked up gun) Walkers is all they have??
