Thread for ... The Walking Dead Series 5. *Spoilers*

Agree mate.

Also interested to see where Morgan (hooded fella) fits in. He's already featured twice. Once early on playing sniper with his son from a house, then later in the series acting pretty deranged.
Like you I felt let down with the second half of this episode. It was too 'set up'. Narrow corridor, silly demand once exchange made. It felt like it was written just to cause a death, rather than following the way the storyline would have done playing out normally. Shame as up until then I thought it kept the story arc going well.

Rick showing more 'zero toleance' in killing the cop, then a headshot and "Shut Up". Since letting the Termites live he is on a mission to kill anyone and everyone who could possibly return to hurt them.

Also liked the Priest escaping. I thought it was him running away, but he wanted proof that the Termites didn't deserve to die brutally at the hands of Rick & Co. When he found Bobs foot and the bible (a bible bashing cannibal) the penny dropped that despite how it had looked Rick & Co. were fighting to survive, not to kill and he had misjudged them.

It just went tits up for me when they sorted the exchange. Even though they made the head shot clearly a knee jerk reaction to being stabbed it was just too fake a situation to have allowed themselves to be put into. Rick would never have done that given the choice (which he had). It would have been in a more like the original meeting where he was backed up with two snipers. It felt like a death just to try and tug on the heart strings.
