Walking Dead season 5

I think the walls were designed with the idea to keep walkers out... not thinking of the danger of outsiders coming in....

but you guys do bring up some interesting questions.

Was the person that carl saw before they walked in the young girl? or one of the exiles?

WHERES MORGAN!><!>?!?!??

Morgan didn't seem like the kind of guy who would have a group IMO.

I still think the girl is feeding a walker. I don't understand the need for the backpack just to be passing info along.

she could be providing food and supplies to an exile or something... also, I take a backpack anytime I go hiking or anything like that... so if it were me I would have the pack also, especially in the event I come across something I want to carry back to camp/house
 
One other thought as much like the Atlanta Hospital it is about non-essentials. What if the interview and jobs that the woman is doing is about building a Utopia society where non-essential people are exiled. Think of it like the Hospital with the Governor's town.

I agree, a backpack with essentials. Her's looked filled to the brim though. Not just some stuff, but a lot of stuff. :dunno

I dunno about non-essentials. If that were the case it would seem the old people who were fawning over the baby don't have much of a function there unless they're fulfilling some function we haven't seen yet.

Or there's some tunnels there.

I saw the beams on the outside of the walls, but I got a bit confused and was like "wtf...nahhhhhhhhh that's not the outside." I thought maybe there was a double layer to the wall and he was walking the inner side of it or something. Doesn't make sense to me that some super smart architect designed the walls...and then couldn't figure out how to keep them up with counterweights and braced them from the other side instead. The overall construction, now that I think about it from a builder's point, doesn't make sense. Framework exposed on the inside, but with the support braces on the outside? Why wouldn't you at least have the framework on the same side as the supports - regardless of whether it was meant to keep something in or out? The support braces do make it look like the walls are to keep people in rather than out, but the exposed framework is easy to climb...maybe foreshadowing? They'll try and shut Rick's group in, Coral saves the day by showing them how to climb out because he watched the girl do it? Plot twist, they're all prisoners including the Congresswoman to begin with? Fuck if I know.

or it was just bad set design :laughing
 
1. Pretty sure they didn't make Darryl a cop, because that is another way to divide the group.

2. The split, yet close to one another homes was interesting, too.

3. The girl is absolutely going to one of the three, if not all 3 people who were exiled. Why would she go feed a walker? However, I don't think she was the one who stole the gun. I would guess it was someone else watching, perhaps the exiled person.

4. Agreed that the ROTC guy and his buddy were idiots. But why didn't a guy like Abraham go? Stupid TV show writers having complete freedom!

5. I think the town has no where near 40 people, they are just positioning it that way to make themselves less vulnerable to Rick and the group. But they really are weak and have no muscle. Where it gets interesting is kids: They are a bit harder to teach deception and how to lie well. Those kids playing the video games did seem genuinely innocent enough.

Finally, things are getting good.

For supply runs you want agile, quick, and stealthy. Abraham is a tank. Abraham has a different job in the comics. It makes sense. I am sure it will be the same in the TV show.

I am happy people like the direction the series is going. I was worried everybody who was into the scrappy on the road stuff would be bored by this bit of the story. I guess it depends on how the show translates it. So far they are doing well.

She's a teenager, so I wouldn't be surprised if it played out that she is in love with one of the exiles.

Furthermore, it would make even more sense if she's the senator's daughter, and her mom exiled her boyfriend. Or her dad...
 
I think if the story line went with another seedy/trap society behind walls, it would be too redundant.

Terminus - Cannibals
Mayberry - Evil, captive society, psychopath leader

I imagine this place to be different and have it's own set of problems.

Also, a note on Carol. She started playing her game from the get go. When she was handing in her firearm, she did some fumbling and acted as if she was unfamiliar with it. She's the most badass character on the show. Rick is a badass, but mentally weak at times. Daryl is badass, but reverts to his reptilian brain/redneck/hot head bullshit. Michonne doesn't want to be doing what she does and wishes to give up the sword.

You'd want something outboard to resist wind load, unless they had time and materials to anchor the fence in a concrete trough. Scalable scaffolding on the interior may be a feature not a bug.
 
We can agree the design must be anchored somehow yeah? So it would seem to me that if there was a "massive mall" being built nearby they were able to scavenge that much steel from, there would be ample concrete to anchor down the supports as well. Wind load works both ways - the design as shown is only anchored on one side and looks like it'd collapse inward just as easily as if it would collapse outward.

Personally I'd want the framework and supports all attached on the inside so that the exterior was just a smooth blank wall that nobody could pry at, climb, etc. Would also have lower bracing to account for vehicles attempting to drive through. And zig zag barriers like a military base. And redundant entryways like the prison had - if one fails or they can't get in without letting a couple zombies in with them, they can contain/minimize the number they have to deal with.
 
I was so confused thinking: I don't remember another girl in Alexandria named Coral! And then I realized you guys were talking about Carl.

about the girl, how the fuck could she have disappeared on Coral like that:wtf she was maybe 30 feet away max. takes off running, Coral sees this and follows. he gets to where she was standing when she realized he was there and, poof! gone with the wind.
