Bradford wouldn't use much budget. Just throw the cast in the centre and start filming. No extras needed for make up or derelict scenes it's all ready made.

You'd never get it past the censors though

Having just watched the latest episode, I think I know how the casting team have gone about their selection process now:


"Get me the guy from The Wire"
"Which one?"
"All of them"

That's at least 3 of them have crossed over now smile

Oh and my thoughts on the episode itself...


Nice to see absolutely ridiculous decisions making a comeback.
There's food in that hole which has 20 or so zombies in. What's the game plan?

"Lets all jump into the water together, and use shelves to protect ourselves"
"Shouldn't we just pick the zombies off from above first while we're safe.... they're sitting ducks"
"No lets all jump in there"
"Shouldn't at least one of us wait up here, out of the water?"
"Definitely not"

Hope none of them had any wounds or broken skin etc on their bodies. Or swallowed any of the water, or got it in their eyes etc... Hard to believe Bob got away unscathed after his little swim.... not that it really matters now.

Nonsense. An otherwise good episode though hehe

And here are my thoughts:



Agreed with your point above - the action in that scene felt a bit contrived - doing it for the sake of getting a zombie action sequence in this episode.

I think Bob quite clearly got bitten/scratched in the water scene. If it is the case, it will be interesting as how this plays out as the cannibals are eating infected "meat". Everyone is already infected by default but is the infection is only activated through a bite or scratch or can you activate it by eating infected meat?

Carol looked like she was running away at the end. Going solo like Rambo.

Priest is definitely hiding something and the girl in the photo was the zombie girl that was after him in the under water scene. Perhaps he had "history" with her?

I think it is obvious how the next few episides are going to go - Rick's (sorry I mean Carol's) team vs the Cannibals, with the re-introduction of Morgan at some point, probably at the point where Rick is facing imminent death.

Have to say I loved the ending - quite a shocking, brutal scene, with Bob's leg clearly amputated and roasting on an open fire, whilst being told "damn, you taste mighty fine".

Did I miss a bit here? Last I saw of Carol was jumping in the car with Daryll to tear arse off after the car that took Beth...

The preview of next week's episode had one of the group saying "Someone's watching us and there's three of us missing now". Presumably those three are Bob, Daryll and Carol.

WRT Morgan coming back - agreed, I can see him joining the group by saving Rick just as he's about to get taken out by one of the group from Terminus.

Yeah, in the end she did. But at the start of the scene, she had taken the battery charger/jumper out of the car to start the engine. Daryl appeared and she was startled. He asked her "what you doing?" to which she shook her head and said "I don't know". She was preparing to drive off by herself before Daryl interrupted her and seeing the car that took Beth changed the plan altogether.

Have I missed something in episode 2? Why were Carol and Darryl out so long getting water, while the rest of them chill out in the church drinking wine into the evening and not wondering where they are? Seemed a bit odd.

Brilliant, loved it!



The terminus lot coming back for revenge was obvious and predictable, but I did not expect them to be munching on Bob's leg lick

Superb!

Poor Bob. That was grim.

Random thoughts. What was he doing outside to get tagged and why was he upset? I get he could have been bitten in the water but if so wouldn't he have shown earlier? Was the mark on the tree significant?

Shaping up well anyway.

didn't recognise the mark. but I assumed he had been bitten. looked like he was limping slightly.

could it be they have all just eaten zombie flesh?!?

I read on another website speculation that what the cannibals did to Bob could have possibly inadvertently saved his life!

Bob possibly was bitten and/or scratched in the water scene, and that happened to be on his leg (yes a lot of assumptions being made here), it could be that the cannibals inadvertently chopped his infected leg this stopping from the infection spreading up through his body and to his brain. Bob could end up being the Herschel of Series 5!

That scene was so brutal, especially the way camera was panning in and out of focus, made it even more nauseating. Will be a while before I will be going to a BBQ that's for sure!

Cookery related spoiler

How the heck did they get that bit of leg to look so damn tasty? The stuff on the BBQ when we first saw Terminus looked great too, I always thought human was more like pork but it seems they want it to be prime beef in this.
