    I wonder when they're going to bring Morgan back into the episodes - we know he's nearby! What's he been doing all this time?

    I actually woke up early this morning just to catch up on the episode. YAY for Beth being back!! It doesn't seem to me that she remembers her group though... she hasn't mentioned them. My DVR cut off before I could see next weeks preview... anyone care to explain it to me?? THANKS!

    PS. It also cut out the very end of the episode... what's all this Carol talk?

    I actually thought that maybe she didn't mention the group because she doesn't trust the people she's around at the hospital...BUT she did say that she didn't remember them finding her, saving her, etc...BUT (again!) she did ask about Daryl and they told her she was alone when they found her.

    At the very end, it looked like Beth was going to stab the Doctor. She was walking down the hall towards him when they wheeled in a gurney that had an unconscious Carol on it. The ep ended there.

    The preview for next week was just Abraham beating the pulp out of some rando. So I guess next week's ep with follow that group??

    In reference to Beth not talking about the group, when she was last with Daryl the group was all separated so she doesn't even know if they are alive. But it would also make sense that in her way she is protecting them because she doesn't trust the hospital people.

    I'm so annoyed that all the previews for next week are about Abraham, as I find his video-game-commando persona very annoying!

    But...my husband brought up a good point--he says that Abraham comes off as a "good guy," protecting his group, taking the leading role to get what needs doing done, following an apparent moral compass, and being a good fighter. In other words, he is the Rick of his own group.

    So, I wonder...does Abraham only annoy me because my little TV-addled brain can't help but think "there can only be one alpha hero," and therefore something must be "off" about Abraham, even if we haven't seen it yet? I know people have reservations about Eugene (I particularly like whoever it was upthread that said he was borderline autistic with a gift for ensuring his own survival by pretending to know the cure), but I'm curious to read other people's thoughts on Abraham.

    Also, are there any more theories on what he was getting at when he made the "that's why we're waiting" comment when Michonne offed the one zombie sans sword?

    This is why I think that Abraham isn't really a good guy. Maybe its just me, but even when they are talking about Washington DC they never actually talked about the cure. They just said that DC has this Utopian place to hang out during all of this. That story just seemed off to me. I think Eugene is full of it... he found Abraham somewhere at the beginning and convinced Abraham that he knew the cure and all he needed was to safely get to DC.

    Along those lines, remember two episodes ago, Eugene implied he wanted to stay at the church with Rick and the gang until Carol and Daryl came back. Doesn't seem like he is really in that much of a hurry to get to DC.

    Reading all of these theories from the ones who haven't read the comics is quite entertaining :) Makes me REALLY hope that they stay with the comic story as far as Eugene goes... ;)

    This really makes me want to read the comics. I sadly didn't know there were comics at first, until I really got into the show this summer and started talking to people about the show. I tend to read everything first and then watch the show, and then get mad when it doesn't really follow the storyline. :o

    I've made a pact with myself not to read the comics until the Walking Dead tv series is over. May that day never come...

    This really makes me want to read the comics too. I know they have strayed far in some aspects and then stuck to it in others from talking to people who have read it so I am very interested. I might read it after the series is done so i can compare myself! :smile:

    Although I am behind on the comics. I have to buy the rest. I do know the Eugene Storyline. I believe when I stopped reading them, there were no more out yet after the above was near completion. So tonight, as I have no more books at home TO read - I may go get the next few to catch up... Like I DON'T know who this third group may be based on. The Cannibals/ crazy eye patch guy were the last groups I knew of..

    So conic readers... is that the Eugene plot line you remember?

    Also, next week looks good!

    Yep. Stoked for next week. Not sure what to make of this week. I'm not surprised that Eugene was full of if.

    They showed a sad looking Darryl walking out of the hospital with a body wrapped in sheets. He was putting it on the fire. Carol followed soon after so we know it wasn't her. Better not be Beth!

    Last nights episode was very boring. I got more excited over the few seconds of previews for next week then I did the whole episode! Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita just aren't interesting enough to carry a storyline on their own. That's my opinion anyway! I could handle them if they incorporate them into the bigger group, but not if they stay on their own! I am glad that Eugene finally came clean though!!

    So comic readers....I'm interested as well. Did they stick to the original comics regarding Eugene?

    Yeah, glad the whole Eugene thing played out and that cat's outta the bag. Now they (both the show writers and the group) can focus on something else, hopefully. I agree, I don't love the eugene/abraham/rosita group, but I also think that's because they aren't as developed (yet?). They did a pretty decent job developing abraham last night, for example, and as a result, I'm a little more sympathetic to where he's coming from. I still wish he'd learn to use his inside voice, though!

    ETA: I didn't see the sad Darryl teaser! OHNO!

    Thanks for the update. Wow! That gives me a lot more to think about. Perhaps it IS Carol behind him in the bushes after all? And he's just acting weird because he knows he needs to break the news to Maggie about Beth, if it was Beth's body?

    Argh, too many possibilities!! I need to just get it out of my mind and not think about it until 9pm on Sunday. ;-)

    Usually with a death in the group, they tend to properly bury their colleagues. I understand that this might not be able to be done because of being in the city, but I don't think they would just burn it. I don't think it was Beth.
    Although my thought of Carol being a decoy to get inside looks to be true! :smiley:

    For those wondering - YES they followed the comics as far as the Eugene Storyline.. so happy about that!

    I'm sad that there's only 3 episodes left in this half of the season! IMDB shows Emily Kinney in every episode the rest of the season (parts 1 &2), so maybe it was Noah wrapped in the sheet, although I didn't see the teaser and we still don't know who Darryl told to 'come on out' when he went back to the church. I agree, last Sunday's episode wasn't captivating for me. Those characters just don't draw me in....

    I'm with you julebg79, I actually felt better about Abraham after that episode. To see him on the verge of taking his own life after the death of his family, we can better understand how Eugene was able to manipulate him. Abraham's life was without purpose in that moment, and Eugene seized on that. I am surprised that Eugene was revealed to be a fraud so quickly this season; I thought it would happen closer to/at DC.

    I actually thought the writers did a good job unspooling Eugene's thought processes in this episode. Guided by Tara, he came to the conclusion to be honest about his manipulations, and I don't think he had the capacity to arrive at that point without feeling supported/useful on his own. Did it backfire? Uh, hell yeah. But he also grew as a person (assuming he is still alive next week...)

    And I don't think that was Beth that Daryl was placing in the fire. Carol & Daryl would have been far more upset, plus the bundle seemed a little short. I do think that some terrible stuff is going to go down at the hospital and that C&D are cleaning it up, maybe so that the group can move to the hospital as a new base?
