I definitely did not have Daryl or Carol pegged for being in their 40s...
My boy Norman is 44. Just one month older than moi, which is what I pointed out to him when he was flirting with my 19 year old daughter.
OK somebody give Daryl a haircut. Loved the raining Zombies!
Oh my gosh, I think he looks SO much better with the long hair! When I was watching the earlier seasons in the marathon I kept thinking, "Man, does he just not look right with short hair!"
I assumed it was just part of the husband in that bag also, head, or head and torso maybe? The bag looked bigger the second time they showed it. yuck! Poor woman, I can't even imagine what I would ever do in that position.
My DH and I kept yelling "WHAT'S IN THE BOX??? WHAT'S IN THE BOXXX!!" LOL.
I am thinking the virus is mutating. They kept showing the one walker at the fence, and his eyes looked VERY different from all the other walkers. Not sure exactly what it's doing, but it's changing and now it's more dangerous. It appeared to be mroe than the flu that kid had, since his feet were leaving bloody footsteps and his face had blood all over it after he died. Very interesting!
I kept noticing that they were very focused on that one walker with the weird, oozing eyes. They showed him twice for an extended period of time. And when poor Phineas bit it, I was like, "OOOHHH... there is a connection!" Kirkman said that this season was going to introduce a whole new (I think it called it a "force"?) big and unexpected thing that the team would have to deal with. I was thinking at first it would be massive herds, but now I think it's some kind of swine/zombie flu. Not sure how poor Phineas got it first (the whole licking fingers thing was possibly a big hint?). He mentioned Daryl bringing in a deer and we did see a dead deer in the forest but I assumed that it was trapped and eaten by walkers. I admit I looked away - looking at dead and decaying people is one thing... but I can't stand looking at dead animals.
I'm guessing that there's a problem with the water. In the previews you hear Herschel say that they lost 12 of their own, 2 murdered... that it's a risk to drink a glass of water... That could be what took Violet the pig and the kid out.
Wow, good catch. I just rewatched the season 4 trailer and Hershel says, "You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life." I never caught that before and I bet I've watched it 5 times. I also just noticed that in the scenes in what appears to be a hospital or a school where there are a lot of walkers, they all have those oozy eyes. But if this is a new thing, this mutated virus (again, speculating), is just now hitting, how are there all these "new" walkers if there weren't more survivors?
And, also in the previews, someone's feeding the walkers (my guess is the kids since they were naming the walkers and that girl was saying that they're still people). That could explain the ever increasing numbers of walkers at the fence - the ones fed aren't moving on and the new ones coming in smell the fresh food.
I'm sure hoping that it's not one of the kids. That would be really sad. I was assuming that they had a traitor in their midst, but it doesn't make sense that anyone would be inside and inviting the walkers to attack where they live... on purpose.
I've heard a lot of people IRL complain about last night's episode but I thought it was great. We got character development, some backstory, lots of action, and a few moments of humor. Next week is supposed to be big... I'm hoping we don't lose any of our original crew!
Oh, and Kirkman better not kill the horse this time. I'm still getting over the first ep. I've never watched that scene and I never will.
