The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

I wish Michonne hadn't knocked Rick out at the end. I was really hoping Rick was going to stand up and take the town with his group rallying behind him.

Imagine if you had someone like Rick coming into your idyllic little community that's this far been walled off from the walkers and pretty reasonably getting by with model homes, electricity, running water. You don't know his backstory or how "good" he's been. You just see this wild man fighting with the town doctor and spouting off about deciding who gets to live or die. Yep sure you'd want to keep him around. Not to mention he and carol have been stealing and stashing guns. Realistically the whole group is suffering from PTSD and there is nobody around or qualified to treat them. I don't view the townsfolk as bad guys. Incompetent and soft sure, but just because the outside world has gone to crap doesn't mean they should be forced to Ricks way of thinking. Let them live by their own rules and maybe they crumble and get overrun after a while, maybe some really bad guys come and force their way in. But Rick trying to lay down the rules and pick fights after a week or so rather than trying to adapt and strategically advise would certainly get him exiled.

I was just thinking back, I don't know if this happened or not, but when Rick and Pete were fighting in the street, I thought there was a moment when Glenn and Nathaniel ran to the scuffle and then paused, and looked at each other for a moment wondering if they should go at it, but then didn't Thought it was funny, even if it didn't happen.

I have to say the most disappointing thing from last night was that Rick got his ass kicked by a drunk Surgeon who is supposed to be soft. What a let down. He should've just knifed him when he got the okay from the hottie cause Rick can't fight for ****.

I didn't get that either. Rick is a battle hardened chunk of iron who has killed with his bare hands (and teeth) and this idiot sheltered porch drunk gets the best of him? While Rick has the extra incentive of taking this guy down for the safety of this new girl he likes?

And I'm not sure why he was so opposed to having the guy exiled. Just have Deanna send him away then Rick or Daryl could have secretly hunted him down and taken him out.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.
The people of Alexandria are all out for themselves.
Deanna may think they are a community but they are far from it.
She allows the doctor to beat his wife just because he can save lives.
The coward guy is useless and will run away at the 1st sign of trouble.

agreed. Rick needs to be more open minded. He's right about some things, but so is Deanna. That place has been going good for a long time, there must be a reason for that, minus the wife beating. Rick isn't used to compromising anymore, but he will have to or he will be gone.

we haven't seen a whole lot, but I'm curious how punishment is dealt out by Deanna besides just sending ppl off. It doesn't seem like the community has much democracy either.

Oh man, same ring, sunglasses and shade of skin and jacket.
He could've helped center Rick, what a waste of a character.

And the torso was missing for a possible reveal next week?

Part of me was hoping Michonne did it because he was going to spill the beans about possibly taking the place over (Because thats what I REALLY want to happen)

 

[crows]

Everyone gets on their case about leaving others behind but Rick and co. Left merle... So there's that

 

[wanderlai]

In this world there are Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs...Alexandria is full of sheep. I don't think the group would allow Rick being exiled. How can the Alexandrians even enforce such a thing. Gabriel sure looks like a profit now in DeAnna' s eyes I guess.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

At the moment ... Rick may be a wolf. But, he's trying, Ringo. He's trying real ... hard ... to be the shepherd.

What are they going to do? Exile Rick, but not allow him to take his own children? Let him take his children? I can't see how they would do that.

The town let the group in. Aaron and Eric followed them for weeks trying to get the lay down on these people. They went searching to bring people in. They should have just left them alone.

He didn't want him exiled because he figured he'd just come back and cause trouble. And he would.

As for Rick getting his ass kicked, the Doc was running on pure adrenalin. He pushed Rick right through a big window. The guy went crazy. It's hard to fight crazy.

In the long run, Rick will be right. That town has just been lucky so far, plus, no one knows what all happened before Rick and Crew got there. I have a feeling that it wasn't good.

Merle was a loose cannon and there is a big difference. And they did go back for him.

Maybe the people they exiled were once their protectors, but they wouldn't kiss Deanna ass so they were thrown out. So Deanna sent scouts out to find them more protectors. People to do their dirty work for them so they could go about their business like the world was the same.

 

[devilof76]

Ween to the rescue.

 

[evenflow]

I was really hoping rick shot deana and take control.

Side note, I hope Sasha is the one to go on the season finale. She is unbearable at this point.

Rick just met Merle and if it wasn't for Daryl getting so angry they wouldn't go back

(The only reason everyone agreed to go back was because of the bag of guns)


Merle was as much of a loose cannon to them as Rick is to the Alexandrians, Besides Merle never stole a gun and pointed it at everyone in the camp, (his beef was with T-Dog)
so the Alexandria group mentally really is at where rick was in season 1

in that sense as far as Alexandria goes Rick is really as bad as the Governor, just with better intentions and 2 kids instead of just a walker daughter

How would he come back and cause trouble if he's dead? I said Rick could let him be exiled and then just have Daryl track him down and kill him far from any Alexandrian witnesses. Or have Sasha do it as part of her "therapy."

we dont know if Daryl would have even accepted since he didn't even accept the gun in the first place

and technically it did not take the governor too much to destroy the prison, all it took was finding a random group that had guns and a tank and then lie about the prison and what they did to him.
and technically the governor to them was just another guy. This guy is a surgeon, other groups would be happy to have him.

they could have kicked him out and have someone else like Carol kill him, but that option didn't even occurred to Rick at all. It was like Rick just wanted him to die by his hands and no one else

now that you mention it, it was very very stupid the way he handle things. the Rick from season 3 or even 4 (before the gov) wouldhave beenmore tactical
