    He was a real heavy handed way to activate Carol's kill switch* once again.


    *each character has one. It's set in the on or off position depending on the season. See - Morgan, Rick, Carol, Maggie...

    Actually the whole progression we saw with Lydia and Henry was Lydia and Carl in the comics.

    Since Carl was murdered off of the show, I guess they needed a stand in

    Yeah, I'm sure this is how Carol is going to be with the Whisperers now:

    I still don't see how The Whisperers got so many recruits.

    Their membership brochure really isn't that attractive

    Recap guy and gal attempted to go through Alpha's steps starting from the scene where she murdered the blond haired woman, to meeting Ezekiel before the movie, to meeting Lydia at the movie, and then finally capturing Daryl and his crew....AFTER capturing and killing the 10 people from The Kingdom.

    They tried for over 15 minutes to understand the logistics and it just wouldn't work So much happened starting in the afternoon of the movie and then continuing overnight to morning, it just wasn't possible.

    Then the podcast chick says - And she somehow scalped that woman, put on her beautiful long blonde hair without having blood drip down her neck and washed off her face completely. Do the Whisperers have a bathroom with a vanity mirror? Because as a woman, we need those sort of things when we're sleeping outside and eating worms.

    Yes I remember but your whole issue was more - How could Alpha do it herself?

    She's got a cast of thousands for support

She was able to subdue them and sneak them out of the gated Kingdom without being seen?

    And when the episode opened and we saw that couple that we had never seen before, I told the wife, oh look, a couple we've never seen before, they're gonna die And they were dead before the show's opening credits
    I sometimes pay attention to what you say

    It's similar to Discovery. It's fantasy and one would expect just to sit down and let it wash over you.

    Problem being, when a huge setpiece like that occurs (movie night and ten heads on spikes) it does cause us the viewers to say - Hey, how was that even possible?

    Recap chick knows the comics well and said she started seeing beats from the comic panels during the episode and went - Oh shit, they're doing the heads on spikes thing now and not during the final episode

    And as a fan she too questioned the how of it all and said it left her a little disappointed with the TV show.

    Roger that.

    Can someone explain to me why everything was fine in terms of the buildings they lived in at the time Alpha killed those people, and then a few short weeks/months later (Rosita is still pregnant) they have to abandon both Alexandria and the Kingdom?

    The Kingdom completely falling apart made no sense. And they weren't abandoning Alexandria, they were just moving everyone to the 2 or 3 houses that had big rooms and big fireplaces. And when the fireplace 'blew up' on them in that one hose, they had to trek across town to a different house.

    And YAY! We got the exact opposite Carol of what we were thinking. We've gotten sad, weepy, self-doubting, feeling sorry for herself Carol back again.
