Another amazing episode
ReplyDeleteThis season really deserves some Emmy recognition.
All of them. Another fantastic episode -- quality of the writing really seems to be improving and they hit a lot of great metaphorical points. Hoping for some Emmy nods.
ReplyDeleteThe whole barn sequence really stood for me -- the "We are the Walking Dead" speech (so stoked the show found room for that after they screwed it up so badly the first time), everyone waking up and holding the doors together, waking up to find the devastation left by the storm.
ReplyDeleteVery strong episode.
Rick's speech. What a brilliant moment.
ReplyDeleteFavourite scene that wasn't in the episode but should have been: Sasha getting ripped a new one for dicking the plan.
ReplyDeleteRick's speech, but the second one was when the priest threw his collar into the fire. That made me gasp.
ReplyDeleteDaryl
ReplyDeleteDAryl breaking down and crying over Beth. Norman is killing it this season, seriously.
ReplyDeleteI liked the scene when they were all standing in and welcoming the rain. It was a pure moment of life giving joy for them. Very poetic.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember there being a version of Rick's "We are the Walking Dead" speech on the show, when are you referring to them screwing it up?
ReplyDeleteI thought Michonne did that (ripped her a new one, that is).
ReplyDelete"Daryl" isn't a scene.
ReplyDeleteIf you watched the episode, you will know which scene I'm talking about
ReplyDeleteNot so much. Basically, all the did was say "I told you so." I was thinking more along the lines of actual physical harm. Seriously, she almost got everyone killed. No room for that sort of nonsense any more. I'd've left her to get eaten.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't say those words, but I always took the "This isn't a democracy anymore" speech at the prison towards the ends of Season 3 to have been as close as we'd ever get to this speech.
ReplyDeleteI loved the symbolism of needing the whole gang to hold the doors that Darryll and maggie and sasha couldn't do it alone.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite scenes were:
ReplyDelete'We are the walking dead' because my reaction was 'WOOP THERE IT IS'.
Team Family banding together to hold the barn door shut. It was such a poignant image; the whole episode saw the characters dealing with pain and tragedy individually, but no matter what, as long as they are together, they will always continue fighting to live.
And Aaron's "good news", because he is a fluffy marshmallow and a harbinger of one helluva story line. Also "stranger danger", because lol.
Well, now I think I know which one you were talking about because you elaborated slightly, but I can't be absolutely certain.
ReplyDeleteSo, you wanted someone to beat her?
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were trying to do a version of that when he gave either of his democracy speeches, I think Mazzara just decided to skip it, like so much of the other great source material he decided to skip that season.
ReplyDeleteNo, just toss her into the ditch with the zombies.
ReplyDeleteEh, it felt like an allusion to the "We are the Walking Dead" speech to me, and it was at that point that I thought to myself, "Well, I guess there's no way we're getting that speech on the tv show at this point."
ReplyDeleteBut Gimple found a way. Bravo.
Well, of course. That's the only thing that would have made sense.
