Walking Dead Season 5 - Spoilers will be cannibalised
Discussion
I thought it was a good episode. Slow burner for sure.
That being said, I still wonder where exactly is Walking Dead heading as a series. Since last weeks reveal that Eugene has no cure and the mission to DC was pointless, we are effectively back to square one of: food runs, rambling aimlessly on the road, kill a few zombies, meet bad people, kill bad people, repeat. The show in my opinion desperately needs an end game. I thought DC may have been it but now feel a bit cheated that that was a lie.

Honestly, I really am struggling to be bothered with this.

I thought that too, but then I thought did she do it on purpose for a guaranteed entrance to the hospital to rescue Beth? Albeit a very risky plan!The city must be near-silent, save for the slurping/growling of a number of zoms; how the f

How the fk did the van fall off the bridge and land on its wheels?
Indeed, as it started slipping off it was all set to land roof down then it miracously levelled out and landed on all 4 wheels!k did the van fall off the bridge and land on its wheels?Other than that I really enjoyed the episode. It's good to have some creeping round slowly slowly tease episodes dropped in. We are in the middle of a good series with stuff going on in various story arcs, so it's good they are being pulled together in a measured way.

Just to add to the van thing.
My assumption was that it had crashed through the railings and gotten itself lodged there on the edge?
If so, why wasn't there any damage whatsoever to the front of it? Quite meaty barriers, well actually, crash barriers designed to stop just that happening, so surely the front should have sustained a fair amount of damage as opposed to looking like it had been neatly parked there?

Overall I enjoyed the episode but like others I'm so frustrated with the lack of plot progression relating to the epidemic, its causes, etc. that I’m starting to forget about that side of it, which is a shame.
I get that the series focuses on the trials and tribulations of one particular group in and around Georgia but I believe we are overdue a big change (and I don’t mean discovering another farm, prison etc. type habitat) that really drives the story forward and expands it for upcoming seasons.
One other interesting thought that came to me is (and I have never read any comics etc. so am typing this blind) but I wonder if Rick and his group have a reputation that precedes them and word is spreading about a super group of people that appear capable of ‘super survival’ that could set a benchmark for human kind to adopt and consequently ‘save’ everyone?
One last thing – as a collective could all surviving humans, adopting the above in part, eventually eradicate or at least dramatically reduce the number of walkers? IMO there can only ever be a finite number as they don’t reproduce the way humans do and if everyone can get together a bit better and co-operate, this would be made easier.
Whew I’m really over-thinking a TV show
