Me too, I just thought it might be flawed writing on that story line. I know, shut my mouth! The writing is fantastic! But I think they are covering so much and the plot line with Alexandria, Rick, Jesse, etc is more likely a slower build than it is shown as. Also it is impossible to cover 24/7 life in one hour a week. I guess I kind of assume that if it were real the characters would interact off screen and we just see highlights. Otherwise the show would be more like 24 where 24 episodes is one day. :-)

Given that Deanna knew what was happening, it is likely that others did too. But there is something weird about it so maybe there is a twist.

Actually, now that I think about it she might be. Maybe that's what the 'W's on the foreheads are. That would also explain why Pete was a surprisingly good fighter. Hmm. Would they mix genres like that?

(I meant this as a joke, but now I'm wondering. I feel kind of foolish suggesting one of the characters may be a werewolf, but after all, we are talking about a show about zombies!)
I don't think they would mix genres, but ..... lol!

So is the actress that plays Maggie. Well, she was born in the US but speaks with an accent. She lived in the UK as a child (at least that's what IMBD says)

I was surprised with the actress that plays Maggie. I knew that about Andrew Lincoln because I use to live in England and he was on a popular TV show then and was previously on a different popular TV show that was in re-runs when I lived there. In both he played an attractive slacker. Since he seemed to always play the same type of roles in light entertainment (i.e. Friends calibre type depth) I didn't realize he was as good an actor until The Walking Dead. I actually first watched the Walking Dead out of curiosity to see how he could possibly be in an action show (I was skeptical).

Something does feel off about Jessie but I can't pt my finger on it. Michonne clocked Rick and thank goodness - he was going off! I never thought they were going to get together (Michonne and Rick) thought that would have been nice.

I was going to mention this before but Jessie's husband Pete looks like John Tesh. I'm glad no major characters were killed. I'll watch "Talking Dead" tonight. I wondered why the zombies were mesmerized by the music in the food trucks. What song was that?

John Tesh:

Pete does look like a mean version of John Tesh. I wasn't expecting this twist, I thought maybe he would end up severely injuring or killing his wife and then Rick or Carol would kill him in a 'told you so' moment.

I really liked this episode and was grateful I didn't have to bring out the Kleenex. I thought Glenn was a goner! I liked the theme of forgiveness, redemption and strength and how they wrapped things up.

It was a good one - I thought both Daryl and Glen were goners, a few times!!!! A nail biter for sure. The Wolves are clearly going to be a scary group next season. I also felt bad for the red poncho guy.

But if I were Maggie I would have punched Gabriel in the face and dragged him to the meeting to make him tell the truth about himself and the group. He's a weak, pathetic excuse for a human and it's driving me bananas that he's getting a pass (again), after putting lives at stake (again).

I screamed when Glen was down and the walkers were coming for him. Screamed! Lol, thank God he wasn't killed!

I agree it was an excellent episode. So glad none of my people got killed.

ETA: P.S. Norman Reedus can't be trusted. He said we'd be crying after the finale and we weren't. We were relieved! But it was intense.
