    For anyone who is looking to contribute a fitspo, the thread is now in part 4. Remember you don't have to do it until week 9, but you can do it any time before then and those bonus points (2) will be counted towards you and your team's totals in week 9. Here is the new thread:

    Terry, hey we might actually learn more about the virus that started all this. Of course I do not think that Eugene Porter is really intelligent. He seems rather useless. I mean he killed the truck!

    Tyreese and Sasha will be deciding the punishment exercises this week. 

    Please note this addition to the challenge this week. This would be a great week to get in the top four! 

    What we learned from the show this week was that some strangers are enemies and some appear to be friends and may help you on your journey. The top four highest scoring teams of this week's challenge (which will be announced next Monday) will get to choose Abraham, Rosita, Eugene or Tara to add to their team and have their kills added to their team's scores for the rest of the challenge starting with the March 1st episode. Winning team chooses first and so on.

    Congrats on making MVP again this week Metanoia0016! :drinker:

    I hope you zombies aren't getting too hungry for human flesh. You don't get to eat enough people in the episodes!

    Have a great week team zombie! :happy:

    Tyreese and Sasha have decided that everyone should complete 5 minutes per day (for 5 days) of Wall Squats. These can be included in your strength totals. There are a few versions of Wall Squats, facing or not facing the wall, with or without a ball or weights.....Choose one appropriate to your fitness level.

    Congrats on MVP Metanoia! Good job!!

    Well, I was a bit disappointed in the episode this week. I thought the whole deal with Rick in the house was just filler. No update on 3 out of the 5 separate groups again!

    It was cathartic for Michonne to open up to Carl, but the rest of the episode was just filler. It took 1/3 of the episode for the writers to tell us that Abraham's team is going to follow Glen now. And then another 1/3 of the episode to show that at any time, you can run across other live humans that are dangerous (we already knew that).

    I'm not sure how many more episodes there are this season, but it's becoming clear that we won't be seeing this "sanctuary" until next season. That just means another 5-7 episodes of showing 5 individual groups (one episode at a time) wandering around down by the tracks with a surprise and shocking death or two of an important character along the way.... that's it... that's the rest of the season in a nutshell. Bummer! :indifferent:

    Yeah, that's a good prediction. I am hoping for a few good surprises, but I agree with you that we won't be seeing Terminus or Washington or wherever anytime this season. Then late October until we know more. Aghhh!

    I hope everyone is having a good week!

    I attempted the wall squats today... thought I'd last for two min, but only made it to one. So, one min down!

    How's it going for everyone else?

    Remember to check in! Don't forget that there's a great prize this week, the top four teams get to add a new character from the show, who will make them points for the rest of the challenge.

    Rick will be deciding the punishment exercises this week and choosing one of the four new characters. The weekly points from the remaining three will be divided up among the three, second place finishers. 

    This week's optional show inspired exercise is this fitnessblender golf workout:

    Posting from my phone at work so I'll be brief! The week's punishment is a quick circuit training routine:

    1 min jumping jacks; 10 sit ups/roll ups/crunches; 1 min jump rope; 1 min side plank (30 sec each side); 5 burpees.
    Here's the punishment from Team Rick's captain. The good news is he decided that you only have to do it once this week and, as always, you can include it with your cardio or strength numbers.

    If Daryl Dixon fans aren’t satisfied right now, they never will be.
    ...
    It’s also, from its claustrophobic opening sequence to its fiery conclusion, one of the best episodes this season, maybe of the entire show.
    ...
    From: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/03/02/the-walking-dead-recap-season-4-episode-12-still/


    Is there any thread that is one single place where our challenge group members discuss the episodes? It seems we have about 75 to 80 members of the group, but there doesn't seem to be any single thread where people discuss the show??? I notice that in each of the 4 weekly recaps that Cindy posts (thank you, Cindy, by the way!), that no one replies to those posts.

    I know not everyone feels the same way, but for my time, I have to STRONGLY DISAGREE with the wsj/blogs episode recap! I'm so disappointed!! We all have busy lives and we are trading one of our most valuable resources (time) to watch, and this is what we get in return? Isn't season 4, episode 12 a little late to take the time to expound on the obvious fact that the characters have been changing and growing? Perhaps they put this in for last Sunday during the Oscars because they knew that no one would be watching?

    I hope the show gets a bit more exciting and provides some vision other than just wandering around in a state of despair and hopelessness. I think we learned that in Season 2 before the group found the farm, didn't we? And we certainly don't need to watch TV to be reminded that such a state in real life absolutely sucks. No reminders needed, thank you very much.

    I've rarely had an episode make me think so much about the time I am investing in it and seriously contemplating that perhaps the best choice is to stop watching.

    Anyone feel the same?

    Just my $0.02....

    I do agree. It was a disappointment. While I enjoyed learning more about Daryl, it was hardly full of shocking revelations. I would have been so much happier to see how everyone is doing. As for a place to discuss episodes, there's a group on here, Walking areas Fans, I think a bunch of our players are members there. .

    Thanks for the link, Cindy! I signed up. Looks like a mixed reaction over there towards the last episode.
