Can anybody explain the ants at the beginning of the last episode? And is there anything going on with the young boy? He looked ill towards the end of the episode but I might be imagining it.
Analogy that ants always get in? Or, preview of next spinoff "Fear the Walking Dead Ants"

I'm pretty confident that someone will get their arm cut off once I saw Rick swinging that little axe, but yeah !maybe it won't be Jessie.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
This is one of the guys from the group that were hacking the legs off corpses of the townspeople. It was a pretty dumb scene all round - pretty hospitalesque.
Ya but he needs her because he's injured and in danger of dying from an infection in his wound.

I'd pretty much explode if it went down like this.

HAhaha this got me

So there are real people living inside those walls? They probably get paid pretty well? Or was the wall already there before they even started filming? Is that what americans call a gated community? We dont have those over here in Europe..

The crew built the walls, the tower and a few other smaller things. I think they put those solar-panels in place too [though obviously they're just fake lookalikes]
The majority of the rest was already there. It is a real neighbourhood and people do live there.
Gated communities exist but their walls usually look a lot nicer than those struggle walls.

While I do think it's silly that he didn't get bitten while on the ground, there is precedent for the notion of walkers ignoring you and moving on if they can't see you.
In the S5 finale, that was Daryl's plan when they were trapped in the car. He wanted to cover the windows so the walkers couldn't see them inside
So Glenn killing walkers to block up the sides of the dumpster, and the others not being able to see him anymore and moving on, does make sense
Getting under the dumpster without any bites doesn't

I'd rather him get a damn hair cut. His hair is ridiculous.

Yeah, I'd like to know this too, if anyone knows pleas share
why do you think it won't be Jessie?
lol!
What do you mean?
Good or bad?
The only things zombies can still see are light and movement, according to Kirkman, I think. They saw co get in the car and that's why they're clamoring at it and I feel like they're attention wouldn't go elsewhere unless something happened elsewhere to grab their attention.
That fuxking boy.
Seriously...why did he suddenly feel like it is okay to not keep his mouth shut?
But obviously, what carol said to him last season had a pretty bad effect on him given how he was drawing a picture of it.
It was foreshadowing. The ants were slow and deliberate, like a troop going towards the food. They were leading up to the walkers breaking in through the wall, while not fast, methodical and consistent. Basically the ants = walkers, cookie = people to eat. It was pretty good symbolism actually when you make the correlation.

They need the hair though, for... reasons.

good explosion
I see it playing out a lot like that more or less. Premier should be great.

I'd argue his dumb brother is worse. Clearly stupid runs in their family.
Comic spoilers
Just a pure guess because she seemingly got more character development than I remember from the Comic one. However, it would also make sense that she dies considering that it has been a while since we had a death that felt impactful

Priest is amazingly still alive. Eugene is alive. These two fucking kids and Spencer will oulive almost everyone, I guarantee it.

I'm not sure if (comic)
the writers will kill Jessie in the same way as in the comic. She actually has a relationship with Rick at that point in the comic, which makes what Rick does to her so much more impactful - Rick and Jessie haven't actually started a relationship yet on the show, so I think that if they did kill her off it might feel a little undercooked.
Guys I think we all know what happens to the little kid right? Especially with the way the episode ended. He's calling out for his mother, she's ignoring him. The walkers will notice his voice, turn for him and eat him alive. His mother can't do shit about it, because there's walkers all around them. She has to basically sacrifice him for the group to move on. At least that's how I see it.

He's probably gonna die yeah...
I wouldn't even say Sam's reaction is unrealistic. He's 10. His mother literally gives the worst advice ever and more importantly he hasn't been hardened at all. I'd probably react similar at that age to be honest. He's just like Sophia if not softer. Carol's comments haven't helped either.
I think its easy to forget that most children in their world are probably either massively sheltered in 'safe' places like Alexandria and Woodbury, or just end up dead. I doubt there's many Enid's about in comparison.
However, just because its realistic that doesn't mean that it ain't annoying.

Carl and Daryl also need to get a haircut. Dumbest haircuts in the show.

When is the show returning?
The Artisan

Word. Bring it on. February right?
Yeah I like Jessie's character so it'd be nice to see her character develop further (wait, what are the things that happened with her on the show that didn't in the comic) but if at this point in the story she meets her fatality, she needs to meet itX I need rick to hook up with michonne.
i agree about the undercooked thing because Alex is a good actress, but she and rick have already started a relationship. They made out and they might've fucked. We don't know how their night ended.
February.

Eh, I think we need to actually see a substantial relationship between those two for her death in that specific situation to make any sort of real impact.

show speculation/comics:
I just don't see her family living because the Ron shit is gonna go down. And after that bomb drops that kid gon die. And once he does it just doesn't seem feasible to me that the rest of the family would be able to move forward. Also that little kid is probably gonna get it too. I guess I could see Jessie being the lone survivor in her family but it seems like a long shot.

I mean, I think you're right, I just don't see it being anywhere near as (comic)
BAM! as in the comic.
