    TWD 4x15 "Us" episode discussion... **SPOILERS WITHIN**

    Please keep all talk of episode 4x15 "Us" specifically inside this thread.

    If you have a theory for a following episode, please use the "spoiler tags" (visit the HPOTD FAQ to find out how to use them if you don't already know).

    Similarly, if you're going to discuss plot points from the comic book, please use "spoiler tags" - not everyone is up-to-date on them, and some people don't read them at all.

    Enjoy!


    The Walking Dead Episode 415 – Us: “However brutal some survivors believe they must be to stay alive, we get to see that faith can sometimes be the strongest survival tool.”

    Written by: Nichole Beattie & Seth Hoffman
    Directed by: Greg Nicotero
    Originally David S. Goyer was lined-up to direct, but due to his commitments with stuff like Batman VS Superman, he was unavailable, so Nicotero stepped in (his third time directing during season 4).

    This season, Beattie has previously written 4x06, while Seth Hoffman did 4x08. The pair of them have also written 4x11 together.

    Oh cripes...2nd to last TWD of the season...and only a few episodes of "Archer" (or "Archer Vice" as it is called this season) left as well.

    It's going to be a "current TV" desert for me in a month or so....

    When is the Venture Bros back?

    They should at least have him with headphones on, waving a gun around, or saluting...
    Anything. I also called it as soon as I saw it. Lots of homages going on lately.
    Homage, fromage...

    Also, is this the first ever mention of taking a dump on the show?
    I've often wondered if they'd ever air a TMI moment like this...
    Milestone?
    And it was nice of them to confirm it was those guys in the house with Rick. Confrontation coming up soon...

    Was this the least action packed, yet strangely satisfying TWD this season?

    Daryls new mates aren't very nice chaps are they? Shady bunch indeed! Warming to the military guys now and the chick looks far better in proper clothes.

    Maggies smile lights up the world, no wonder Glenn is her bitch, I would be as well!

    I expect some news about Beth next week...which should tie all the plots up and set up next season

    Terminus seems a bit "odd".

    Oh...and "Bub!"

    a rather solid episode, glad they spent time with various groups and even had a reunion between two wandering elements of the prison gang. the bub homage was instantly recognizable and very cool.

    my only real gripe about this episode was another out-of-place crappy song used at the end....and i really don't think abraham or eugene work very well and both come off as incredibly cheesy.

    Great episode. Glad Glenn is back with Maggie, it was annoying watching him obsess over her. Yea buddy, you saw her signature on a sign, that's good news. Doesn't mean you should start SPRINTING down the tracks like a jackass and stop conserving your energy. Shit, love-sick people in real life are annoying. You know, the fresh couples that act like they're on their 3rd child when they've only been dating for 2 weeks. Their entire life revolves around this person they just met, this new relationship....shit is annoying, I don't need to see it on Walking Dead. Now if Tara and Rosita were to act the same way towards each other, I'd be far more forgiving.

    Daryl's new group is interesting. His new bow nemesis is a cock sucker, he acts like Highlander or something, getting a chip on his shoulder about a second bowman or something. Daryl would kick the shit out of him. The new leader of this group doesn't seem like that bad of a guy....yet. Until they reveal that these guys are

     
    The hunters, if they go that route.


    Not much Rick / Carl / Michonne this week. Things don't bode well for Rick; it's like they're writing him off the show, seeing how it works without him for 4 or 5 episodes now, setting up Michonne as Carl's new guardian. I hope they don't go there YET, but if it happens it will surely make the audience lose their shit.

    Also immediately saw the Bub reference.

    I found the opening scene with Glenn running down the tracks; actually smiling before cutting to the opening credits pretty cool. Good to finally see him happy.

    The tunnel scene was a bit claustrophobic and like everyone else I notice Bub right away! The collar was a nice touch. Also, didn't Tara hurt her ankle in "Live Bait" as well?

    Loved the scene between Rick, Michonne, and Carl at the tracks. I don't think Rick is getting written off anytime soon; I just see these back half episodes as a way to give everyone a story. It's working quite well, even though I'll be honest in saying I really do miss seeing Rick every episode. He's my favorite Character.

    Abraham's group feels like they don't belong on this show. Maybe it's the comedy aspect. As long as they tone it down a bit, I wouldn't mind Abraham giving us some light hearted moments. Rosita was also presented much better.

    Regarding Daryl's new group-
     
    I no longer think they are The Hunters. They hunt animals pretty well and seem to have thier shit together. The Hunters in the books were pretty much losers who chose humans as prey cause they were easier to hunt. And the last scene convinced me who the Hunters REALLY are.


    Good to see Maggie, Sasha, and Bob join up with the larger group.

    Finally, I usually defend TWD using music but only when it's done well. This time, damn it was terrible. Took me right out of what was supposed to be an important moment.

    Next week is the week. The look on Rick's face was scary.

    Yea, you're right. Didn't they KILL the 2nd bowmen that framed Daryl? Just left him dead on the side of the building with his own arrow in his head? Then Daryl went to throw a blanket over him, but decided against it. If that's what happened,

     
    They definitely aren't the Hunters. Because they'd EAT that mothafucka. My money is more on Terminus being a remix of the St John Dairy Farm from the mediocre game.


    ALSO, maybe they're setting Daryl up for his own spin-off? That would make all the fangirls heads explode. It seems like simultaneously the hokiest yet profit-guaranteed path AMC's "spin-off" could take. The Adventures of Daryl Dixon would get guaranteed ratings. It would actually benefit all the Daryl haters here too, in that he'd exit this show and leave us with comic characters. Not that I support that idea, I think it would be corny as hell, but it just seems plausible, something AMC would do. And Kirkman is a troll, he would run with it.
