The Walking Dead returns tonight! - No SPOILERS
Discussion
I quite enjoyed it, but it was a terrible plan.
I'd have been setting fire to them. A big quarry full of walkers, petrol bombs = burnt out walkers. They're all still clothed and they'd have gone up I reckon.
The fire would have attracted more walkers so more gone and it would have ended up being self sustaining

Problem with that is the fire lights the lorries up, burns them down and the un burnt walkers get through. I did think the same however. Launch jerricans in, light and boom. Though I fear fuel and such may be at a shortage. I'd have been setting fire to them. A big quarry full of walkers, petrol bombs = burnt out walkers.

Two theories for the horn-blower are either the pissed-off kid (likely) or the Wolves have scouted them out and jumped at the opportunity when Alexandria was undefended.
They could've taken the residents hostage then blown the horn. Probably less likely but would be more interesting than 'hur my dad died I'm gonna ruin evrything..'

Actually whole we're at it, I did have a bit of an issue with last night, minor but irritating...
They forced the walkers to turn right at the junction to lead them away from Alexandria right? But when the horn sounded "from home" the walkers headed to the right again, back the way they came? If that's where Alexandria is then why didn't they send the walkers left or straight on at the crossroads?

The sound was coming from Alexandria but the walkers turned back to where they had been walking from was something I didn't quite get. Was a cracking episode though. After Spiral, this is my favourite non-comedy tv show. Just a bit miffed I am having to wait another week for the next episode, I only started season 1 about 2 or 3 months ago and have been used to watching 2 or 3 eps in one sitting.

Well.... that's that ruined - you're right according to Rick's plan and the map they used at the planning stage Alexandria should have been to their left, but they all turned right - they may have been turning back to the direction they came like foxes caught in the headlights - but there was a sign showing they were heading towards the town.They forced the walkers to turn right at the junction to lead them away from Alexandria right?

As for the horn blower, I'm betting on it being the angst ridden teenager they met at the quarry - Rick killed his Dad and he's not best pleased about it.
None of those theories make much sense as a herd that size is pretty much suicide for anyone in their way and unaware.
Nice to see Glen finally grasp the let one out at a time method. Ok, execution was terrible but it's only taken them 5 years to figure out it's easier to fight one than 100.

It was a great episode but that niggled away at me as soon as the credits rolled.
You'd think that they would check the geography of their own script? I hate plot holes that are so easy to fix!
It struck me that they had a great thing going with the quarry - fortify it as the chap suggested (just the main routes out) and then funnel the walkers into it down the cliff they were dropping down. Every so often hose them down with acid or throw in some nail bombs. Yes it attracts other walkers, bonus, at some point there won't be any left. Of course this all goes wrong to make the show better and ensure season 23 is safe but that's the whole point isn't it? Elaborate plan, all going well, goes wrong... next episode, repeat.
The CGI smoke on the flares and the black and white really annoyed me.
Dig a moat FFS, spend less time fannying around trying to live a normal life and actually do something useful to fortify what you have.

"All those walkers are trapped in the quarry, we should fortify it and keep them all there trapped"
"Daft idea m8 wot u talkin bout"
"We should lead them out in a herd of thousands down the road, right past our safe town and use metal sheet and tree branches to direct them in the right direction, sometimes shooting flares and stuff to keep them occupied and hope they don't get distracted.."
"omg best idea ever glad ur the leader Grimey.."

Here's an image taken on set by someone visiting in July, merely speculation, not a confirmed spoiler, but just in case!

Here's something to sink your teeth into.. Someone visited the set back in July, and saw this, which is a truck clearly crashed into the side of the Alexandria walls.
Whether it's related to the horn blowing or not, remains to be seen!

Yeah I suppose. Depends on how good a throw you are, get the fire burning from the middle outwards.. Bullett said:

He hasn't learnt the 'check your gun is fully loaded' thing yet though. I think he took out 4 walkers then ran out of bullets...Nice to see Glen finally grasp the let one out at a time method.

But now we know something that has happened. Fair enough, you've read the comics etc, but lots of us haven't and we want the opportunity to see things ourselves for the first time. So please don't post things "for discussion" before they've been on TV.
It's nothing todo with the comics, if you've seen the trailer for season 6, then it's fairly obvious that somebody would attack Alexandria this season. It might not even happen, it might be a deleted scene, or the truck was just there on set whilst they moved it to its proper location for the next shot. I'm in the dark just as much as you! Regardless, I have edited previous post.
