![]() ![]() After weeks and months of campaigning, backbiting and (this year especially, it seems) increasingly dirty tricks, Oscar nomination ballots are due tonight, marking the end of the nomination process (with the announcement to follow next Thursday).Īll being well, Academy members have been working their way through the pile of screeners (or even better, checking the movies out in theaters), and have hopefully come to a decision based simply on what they like most. He recognizes that same PTSD in Saddiq, which is why he chooses to open up to him-and stops Saddiq from performing surgery on Carol when he was in no shape to do so.It’s a big day. He’s cocky, sure, but he revealed in this episode that he was a field medic in Iraq who struggled with PTSD after losing his squad. ![]() “And what kind of friend is that?” he asks.Įpisode MVP: Dante, for not being nearly as big of a jerk as we thought. ![]() As they both admit, Rosita has been making this clear for a long time, but as Eugene finally accepts his place in the friend zone, he realizes the only reasons he was friends with Rosita in the first place was because he thought he might win her over. We’re just glad the last scene showed us that, yes, Carol did indeed get attacked by a Whisperer.īest kill: Eugene’s dreams of a romantic relationship with Rosita, after she tells him flat-out, while sleep-deprived, that it would never happen. The tension choking the school scenes didn’t help. After that, every scene became a guessing game of whether it’s real or not. Nothing makes it harder to watch a show than a fake-out. Most disturbing image: Questioning reality. Oh, and there’s a giant, even more dangerous version that can grow to be two to five meters tall.īest line: “Jesus, did you just trip me? What are you, 12?” -Negan to Aaron after he trips him Its sap, combined with sunlight, can also cause severe burns. Most dangerous plant: Yes, hogweed really can blind you. So listen to the poster and get your flu shots, folks. Negan’s right, it is awesome.īest subliminal messaging: As the Carol, Daryl, Michonne, and the others enter the school building, there’s a sign visible on the wall that says, “Don’t let the flu get you.” And in case you missed this AJC story from last week, health experts recommend getting a flu shot before the end of October. Most out of place: But on that note, what 21st century school still has a home ec class?īest accessory: Aaron’s mace hand. Most relatable line: “I don’t want to hear about the damn satellite anymore, Eugene!” Yup, neither do we.īest visual explainer: We know that Carol is haunted by a lot of dead kids, but you just don’t realize just how many there are until you see a photo of all of them on the cover of a home economics textbook. Get him more weapons, and send him after the Whisperers already. Most reformed: OK, Negan has had ample chances to get back into the world and he hasn’t yet. Currently, it runs from the DC area to I-81 in northern Virginia.īest clue: With that in mind, we’re wondering if the incorrect freeway wasn’t a clue to Carol’s conversation with Daryl not being real. Oddly enough, it was planned as part of a cross-country route from Virginia to California, that would have run through Kentucky, but there wasn’t much state-level support for the route. Most interesting highway: You might be interested to learn that I-66 does not go through Kentucky. Combine this with the Negan and Aaron subplot and you have excellent storytelling all around. And we spent up until the episode’s final scene wondering if Carol actually did fight off walkers in the gymnasium or if she just fell and cut herself. While by the end of the episode it was fairly easy to tell that Daryl flipping eggs in the kitchen was a fantasy, we were stunned to learn the trucker conversation wasn’t real. We’re glad to see the plot moving at a faster pace now.īest plot device: Especially after last week’s snoozer Alpha and Beta backstory episode, we needed an engaging hour with our heroes, and this episode brought it by having Carol become an unreliable narrator. This week: Carol pops pills, hallucinates, and fires her gun.īest series tightening: A few years ago, that whole 48 hour period of walker waves would have been an entire season. Each week, we comb through the guts of The Walking Dead, much like a horde of hungry walkers, to bring you the episode’s best moments, surprises, and other post-apocalyptic curiosities. ![]()
