I think the thing that bothered me the most about blowing up the bikers was that I read hundreds of people comment on FB that this is exactly what they expected to happen. Daryl would blow them up with the Missile Launcher after overcoming the guy at the back, so that when it actually happened it almost was like it had been spoiled.

But yeah I wasn't down for our heroes to have to put up with any all your base are belong to us BS so I'm happy the Saviors are waiting for another day.

Oh and guys.... I wouldn't get too comfortable with Glenn or Abraham

Me and my girlfriend were screaming at the screen when he got pinned.. I was all "You went through ALL THAT BS with the dumpster only to kill him again?? NOOO!" And then the walkers get mowed down without any bullets passing through their soft weak flesh to hit him, which was all good because they eliminated so many other people so fast. I cheered..

I only knew about Carl living because of comments from here from the comic fans. Oh well, that's what you get for reading the internet, lol.

I was surprised that after all the development with the mom and kids that they offed all of them. The little kid, yeah, he needed to die. The brother, or as they said in Talking Dead "Porch Dick Jr.", yeah, cool. But it would have added some nice drama to keep the squeeze alive and have her degrade from watching her kids die. Hell, drag her through that and turn her into a more bad assed version of Carol.. Oh well, one whole family down in a matter of seconds. The pace felt off though for that whole scene. I like how it moved the story forward, but that scene just felt ill-timed or something..

Great episode overall though. And yeah, I was surprised (pleasantly) when the bikers blew up.. I almost rewound it to watch it again, lol..

Well they swapped some things around due to the fact that the people alive in the comics at this point aren't the same as on the show, but aside from the nice little inserts like the rocket launcher, scene this was scene for scene exactly what went down in the comic. Which is why I was saying it's a shame that the overall arc is the same as the comics and it makes the show a bit of a let down for those who have read it. I liked last years a lot better because aside from arriving at Alexandria, they went off page a lot. This is mostly due to the fact that not a whole lot happens in the comics for some time after they arrive in Alexandria. That's the only bad thing about the comics... the pacing is waaaaaay to slow.

so people will complain that it's not enough like the comics and some will complain that it's too much like the comics? I'm confused. :lol

I don't read so it was a pretty exciting episode. the biker explosion took me by surprise. and the part with the kid and his mom getting eaten seemed like it was one of their dreams and then it wasnt.

Exactly.. the way they cut to it and it was just kind of.. happening.. made my girlfriend ask if this was a dream sequence or was it really happening.. It just didn't seem to fit at that moment. It was almost anti-dramatic. While it happened I didn't really care, at least until Michone's sword went through the kid and the gun went off. When I finally decided it was really happening, my only thought was "Well, that was a waste of character development."
