207. That gets to the question of having the weapons and ammunition

Wed Oct 14, 2015, 11:51 AM

Oct 2015

Ammunition always seems to be in short supply, thus Rick's group resorting to pointed and edged weapons whenever possible.

You may have a point in questioning how the nilitary collapsed so quickly--but we're actually talking seriously here about zombies and a fictional TV show. The controllers of the show can make anything they want happen.

In any case, I have taken certain steps to survive the zombie apocalyse. I can't tell you what they are, because for all I know you may be a zombie.

Finally! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #1

well, about 12 hours away NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #2

Sounds good. Almost an entire year of in-depth OMGs! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #11

only an hour to go now NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #27

Tick tock! Yes! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #28

A few articles about the premiere and the recent fan fest NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #3

92 minute premier! I am sure those extra two minutes are crucial, LOL. bettyellen Oct 2015 #4

Maybe the extra 2 minutes NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #5

I somehow missed that last week! Was it during Talking Or Fear of? I did bettyellen Oct 2015 #7

yes, that is a pain NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #9

Crucial for selling products, I'm thinking. Iggo Oct 2015 #29

On Talking Dead tonight NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #6

Well, dang. :( Solly Mack Oct 2015 #12

Well, it could be that guy that Glenn NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #13

That would be OK. Nicholas left the other people too. He and Aiden. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #15

Aiden at least seemed to realize he was wrong NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #16

True. Glenn spared Nicholas and I hope that doesn't prove costly. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #18

Nicholas seems to have a new found respect NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #69

I saw that! Very nice! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #72

I hope it doesn't come back to bite him NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #77

You made a funny. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #80

I get the impression, after listening to Talking Dead, Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #145

From the show, it looks like he will. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #152

For sure. Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #160

Tara, maybe. I think Maggie and Glenn are too much alike that way. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #172

My guess is that he's on a bad trajectory NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #168

That sounds all too probable. I thought last season that Glenn might not make it back Solly Mack Oct 2015 #170

I hope I'm wrong NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #171

Might as well come to grips with it now. One of ours will die. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #174

Prounced like two names: DEE-Ahnna Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #143

Yes! I love Abraham's way of putting things. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #144

Did you hear what they said about him in Talking Dead? Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #146

Yes! That was a hoot! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #153

Holy crap, already ?!1 Joe Shlabotnik Oct 2015 #8

tempted to read those spoilers, but will not... bettyellen Oct 2015 #19

I'm surprised NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #20

Well, the first episodes each season are usually so good. bettyellen Oct 2015 #21

True NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #22

I got some friends totally hooked by showing them that one, Rambo Carol bettyellen Oct 2015 #25

I love the interplay between her and Morgan. Will they get along? Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #148

Noooooooooooooo1!?!!1 Joe Shlabotnik Oct 2015 #23

any friends or neighbors or a local bar? NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #24

Its ok, Joe Shlabotnik Oct 2015 #26

Watching last season's finale. I intensely dislike Father Gabriel. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #30

he's quietly as bad as the Porch Dick NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #31

He really is... (lolololol) Hardwick got one off. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #32

That's stuck as a name NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #33

Love it! Now Abraham's vast ocean of shit and Rick knows each grain comment. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #34

Loved the way Rick rejected his offer to volunteer. Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #149

Didn't even bat an eye. An automatic "NO!". Solly Mack Oct 2015 #159

The interchange between Maggie and Gabriel was priceless. Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #163

Maggie told Glenn she felt herself growing away from her upbringing/religion for a while. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #167

I'll bet you ten Italian lira it was Gabriel sounding that horn. krispos42 Oct 2015 #185

That wouldn't surprise me. I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #186

speaking of "good foot" NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #188

Best ever! Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #150

My tummy is already in knots. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #44

B&W footage, huh irisblue Oct 2015 #45

Sasha the speed demon NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #49

Ron is going to cause trouble. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #56

Morgan is flirting with Michonne. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #59

You think that was flirting? Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #154

Yeah, actually, I do. I think he needed an opening and that was as good as any. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #162

It happened that far back! LOL! Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #164

I prefer Michonne with Rick. I like them being a family group. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #169

Nice save! Now spike Ron! Spike him! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #60

ok who is the boy? NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #61

Pete's son, Ron. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #62

He must have had a growth spurt NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #64

Sam is the youngest. Ron the oldest. Sam is the cookie lover. (Carol's cookies) Solly Mack Oct 2015 #66

thanks NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #68

It was a long vacation from our favorite zombie killers. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #71

Look! Daryl is their messiah! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #63

are the town walls going to hold back that many? NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #65

No way. That's several thousand. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #67

Did we ever get to hear what the full plan was? Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #156

they were funneling them up the road NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #161

Daryl's expression as he escorted them with his bike was priceless. Baitball Blogger Oct 2015 #155

lol! It was! Lot of humor to be found in the premiere. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #173

Deanna is uh.....just not present. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #74

Gabriel "I'd like to help" NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #75

Nicholas is so gonna die. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #76

I think you may be right NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #82

That would be a change for him, and therefore redemption. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #84

that is alot of walkers behind darryl irisblue Oct 2015 #78

2 years in and they still have helium? Solly Mack Oct 2015 #79

Party City down the road! bettyellen Oct 2015 #83

LMAO! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #85

Does it have an expiration, though? NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #86

let me just say.... information was exchanged, knowledge gained! bettyellen Oct 2015 #94

Helium has no expiration. Use it everyday. amerikat Oct 2015 #96

It's a "noble gas" sammythecat Oct 2015 #175

correct NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #176

Well, I would. sammythecat Oct 2015 #179

Walkers on Parade! Like cattle. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #87

With Daryl as the Grand Marshal! suffragette Oct 2015 #181

Very festive until the horn blew. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #182

Yes, that horn redirected everything. suffragette Oct 2015 #187

I guess their roles as zombie shepherds NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #189

Their flock has definitely strayed suffragette Oct 2015 #194

Wonder when Deanna is going to recover enough to realise she isn't really in charge. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #88

I think she's smart enough to know NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #90

Probably. He'll be the army and she'll be the civilian leadership. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #91

Like Adama and Pres. Roslin NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #98

Here comes a death. But NO! Look at them! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #89

So, the group are zombie shepherds now NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #92

Carol can't fool Morgan. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #93

Nope NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #97

That was good Joe Shlabotnik Oct 2015 #135

It was! Morgan sees through Carol's Betty Crocker routine. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #137

I like how Morgan really is like a Jedi master. Joe Shlabotnik Oct 2015 #139

That would be handy. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #140

They could have him on that Into the Badlands show NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #177

But he'd have to leave WD first. :( Solly Mack Oct 2015 #184

Abraham! Get back in that car! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #95

Honestly, Rick monologues too much. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #99

I agree with Morgan. They shouldn't put the weakest first. Even with a small group of walkers. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #100

he is right NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #106

That was timely. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #101

Carter isn't too bright. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #102

Whew. But I wouldn't write off Carter having an accident now. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #103

good call NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #108

Dammit! That special guest is going to come in the last few seconds. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #104

It's Carter! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #105

Yep - Rick gave him the handshake of death NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #107

Yep. Now his screams are screwing up everything. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #109

Rick made the right call then. Morgan and Michonne can stop looking at him that way. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #110

agreed NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #111

slow agonizing deaths for everyone or none? Easy! bettyellen Oct 2015 #112

His death will look suspicious though. Carter wants to kill Rick then Carter dies. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #113

that is a huge herd NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #114

I won't even allow my mind to go there. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #116

I was thinking of overheating. Cassiopeia Oct 2015 #127

Rick, listen to Jessie. She's trying to tell you something important. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #115

What if the direction they are leading the walkers in is near the Wolves? Solly Mack Oct 2015 #117

What the hell is that horn? NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #120

Could be. Maybe that idiot Gabriel. Probably the Wolves though. Or Enid? Solly Mack Oct 2015 #122

I was thinking maybe Gabriel, too NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #123

That'd make some sense, Joe Shlabotnik Oct 2015 #136

Nooooooooooo bettyellen Oct 2015 #118

Who is doing that? Solly Mack Oct 2015 #119

If I had to guess.... Liberal Veteran Oct 2015 #121

Probably. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #124

Time to decompress with the Talking Dead. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #125

Well, no one is safe anywhere. There are now cgi walkers! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #126

But, they did have around 1,000 extras NewJeffCT Oct 2015 #130

And that was cool...but now we're not safe watching and typing. :) Solly Mack Oct 2015 #131

Zombies with tans! Solly Mack Oct 2015 #128

If it is Ron, then he wants everyone to die for his father. Solly Mack Oct 2015 #129
