    Two men kissing ....rawr! <3

    Good episode.

    I don't blame Rick for being distrustful. What was he doing putting that gun in a blender?

    One question I wanted Rick to ask Aaron was...if your location is so secure with its steel walls that nothing can get in why are you so afraid of telling us the location?

    Those walls though weren't high enough for me. I would have preferred higher walls.

    Michonne's question to Aaron - "why are there no people in your pictures" - has got to be key to whatever's coming next.
    -
    I agree about Rick hiding the gun - it's a backup.

    There's something about Aaron I don't trust. I like his partner better. Aaron just seems..I don't know...too slick. But it is so nice to see a clean cut CLEAN man on this show!

    This is the first episode where I found it hard to reconcile the actions of certain characters with the comic book storyline. That's about as vague as I can be without feeling like I'm giving away spoilers.

    I agree @Eric - he's the only reason I started trusting Aaron. Eric seems actually decent while Aaron still seems like he's selling something.

    The part that made me wonder about Aaron was when he was so insistent about not trying the applesauce. If he was that determined to get them to come back he would have eaten it right away. I know he eventually did but that seemed odd to me.

    I almost forgot!!!!! Flare Gun Zombie might is definitely in my top 5 favorite zombie kills of the show....other than it was a waste of a flare. LOL

    I really loved the satisfaction of watching the whole bunch of zombies fall with Glenn and Aaron shooting them from behind.

    I think Carol said it best..."you might be wrong, but you're still right"... were those real children's voices or a recording? I didn't see any kids when the gate opened!

    OMG I'm Rick.

    Yeah, this made no sense. If you have nothing to hide and the applesauce isn't spiked with anything, why put up such a fuss about swallowing some of it?

    I for sure wouldn't want Aaron and Erik's jobs! If in the ZA, I found a truly safe place with most of the modern conveniences, I'd stay. No way would I go back into the woods to find other humans. I'll clean homes. I'll clean all the bathrooms. I just wouldn't leave the compound.

    What do you all think the real reason is that there are no people in his pictures? Or do you believe Aaron that he messed up and overexposed the group photo?

    I'm still thinking about the wolf people from Noah's town. Maybe they attacked the new place and that's why they are recruiting now? Could be Aaron took out pics of people if they're people he's lost recently.

    Here is my issue with Rick hearing the voices of the children (if they were real)....Aaron basically told him that Judith could cry and no one would hear her because the walls are sound proof. Then...bam...the first thing he hears when he pulls up is children playing. That seems suspicious.

    That's a good point - that gate was not closed off, you could see and hear right through it. Aaron's second lie?
