The Walking Dead 4.13 - "Alone" - (spoiler alert)

[NewJeffCT]

"One group finds a shelter; a group has a realization about protection."

Clip from Norm Reedus' appearance on Jimmy Fallon:

[txwhitedove]

1. Daryl trapped? Oh hell no!

[NewJeffCT]

2. maybe his missing the squirrel last week

was a preview of him failing at something more important?

[Baitball Blogger]

4. I thought that was used to denote that he was not centered.

In other words, it was foreshadow that the show was about emotionally dealing with his loss and his past.

[NewJeffCT]

6. That was certainly most of it

but, it can certainly work as foreshadowing as well.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. Damn. I was hoping for a reunion.

[NewJeffCT]

5. well, I read some big spoilers online

Not sure how accurate they are, but (swipe to the right): [font color=white]Maggie finds the sign about Sanctuary during the episode and heads towards it, and the episode supposedly ends with Glenn finding the same sign. So, with Rick, Carl & Michonne heading there, as well as Tyreese, Carol and the girls, we're heading towards a reunion.[/font]

[Solly Mack]

7. I'd be crushed if Daryl died.

[NewJeffCT]

8. I think a lot of people would be

Daryl seems to be pretty popular.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

11. I get the feeling we're being set up for that.

Or Beth, which is too bad because I've gotten to like Beth 2.0 . No doubt if its Daryl, he'll go out in a blaze of glory, but if its Beth its going to be in some crushingly cruel and unfortunate manner, ie murdered by the gang that Rick and Co. escaped from.

[NewJeffCT]

12. I think somebody else will die

I was actually thinking of that the other day:

the original group included Shane, Lori, Dale, Amy, Andrea, Jacqui, Merle, T-Dog, and Jim. All dead now.

[Solly Mack]

72. I hope neither.

But I do feel as if someone else (major) will die before season's end.

[Brigid]

13. Noooo! Not Daryl!

I just bought a Daryl bobblehead and

everything!

[NewJeffCT]

19. just speculation

for now

[Solly Mack]

74. I know! I love the character.

[NewJeffCT]

9. UK promo here

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Looks like Daryl lost Beth.

We had a theory she was next to die because they gave her a lot of lines.

Red-shirted.

[NewJeffCT]

14. starting now

close up of Bob - looking beat/worn out. sad music playing. Hiding behind a tree as a herd of walkers strolls past.

takes shelter in some sort of hobbit hole, then on top of some abandoned truck.

Flashback to when Bob met Glenn & Daryl.

[NewJeffCT]

15. interesting opening

a little bit about Bob.

[NewJeffCT]

16. fog walkers

Looks like Bob got bit, but it was on the bandaging from where he got shot back at the prison. Maggie almost gets bit, too.

[NewJeffCT]

17. Beth and Daryl now

she sneaks up on a walker, but gets her foot caught in a bear trap, Daryl to save her.

[MissB]

18. Beth walked into a trap.

Ow.

[Baitball Blogger]

20. Beth just said, "Pretty soon I won't need you at all."

I hope that means she survives if they separate.

[NewJeffCT]

21. usually, that's the Kiss of Death

look ma, no hands... crash

[MissB]

22. Well, he's never having sex with her. Ever.

"You're heavier than you look."

[Brigid]

26. Our thread winner!

[MissB]

23. And now the Bob group is heading to Terminus.

[NewJeffCT]

25. When will they have the reunion episode?

next week, or wait till the finale? Or, maybe the episode before at the end?

[MissB]

27. Not this week is my prediction.

And I doubt that Sanctuary really is one!

[NewJeffCT]

28. Woodbury on steroids?

or something like that

[MissB]

32. Yeah....

I do wonder. Given various spoilers over the weeks, I do suspect a certain storyline.

[NewJeffCT]

24. Maggie, Sasha and Bob

find the Sanctuary sign. Sasha doesn't want to go - but, goes with Bob & Maggie.

[MissB]

29. Eww. Funeral home.

No dead bodies there, I'm sure.

[NewJeffCT]

30. dressed up corpse on the table

Beth & Daryl find a house that looks occupied.

[Baitball Blogger]

31. One place never to go in a zombie apocalypse:

The mortuary.

[NewJeffCT]

33. Sasha thinking they should hole up

on some high ground.

[NewJeffCT]

34. Beth playing piano now

Daryl looking over her shoulder. Daryl going to sleep in a coffin. Asks Beth to keep singing.

Is a romantic evening coming?

[NewJeffCT]

35. Maggie leaves a note for Sasha and Bob

to go on without her. Weren't they going with her anyways?

[NewJeffCT]

36. Then kills a walker as she was about to leave a note for

Glenn or Bob/Sasha.

[Brigid]

37. What the hell did Maggie just do?

[Baitball Blogger]

40. Ink to write a msg for Glenn.

[Brigid]

42. Oh. Right.

[Vashta Nerada]

38. I've got a feeling Daryl and Beth

will hook up in the morgue.

And I have a feeling Bob is going to die.

[NewJeffCT]

41. yes, last week she wanted her first drink

now, does she want her first time before she dies?

[Baitball Blogger]

39. Blood for ink.

Clever girl.

[NewJeffCT]

43. yes

it was

[NewJeffCT]

44. Dog at the door

for Daryl and Beth. IT was shy, though, and ran off

[NewJeffCT]

45. good conversation

between Bob and Sasha - good points by Bob. Why not go to Terminus?

[NewJeffCT]

46. Daryl wants to stay at the funeral home

that is stocked up with food.

[NewJeffCT]

47. Ooops, no dog this time

and, Beth is now in a car, I think. Probably not good for Beth...

[NewJeffCT]

49. That was an intense scene

Daryl in the room with the corpse on the table - fighting off a bunch of walkers. Reminds me of Tyreese in the prison gym from the comics.

[MissB]

53. I was wondering what one would call a big group of walkers?

A horde?

[Downtown Hound]

100. They call them herds.

[MissB]

48. Oh noes! A car.

Bye Beth?

[NewJeffCT]

50. I think so

that was her package that was dropped - I assume it would not have been willingly

[Vashta Nerada]

51. Hmmmm...I don't think that was Beth in the car...

If so, how did she know there was a car there? Maybe whoever was in the car led the walkers to that house...

[NewJeffCT]

55. I was just thinking that myself

maybe the people in the car sent the herd into the house

[Joe Shlabotnik]

86. The getaway car was an older dark Cadillac,

not uncommon around a funeral home. Beth could have found the keys, but a diabolical and elaborate trap fits the scenario better. I'm going with abduction followed by a perverse and grim ending to Beth 2 weeks from now.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

101. Definitely from the funeral home. The car had a large crucifix/cross on the back window.

[NewJeffCT]

104. I missed that

good catch

[Brigid]

52. Too bad Beth apparently didn't see or hear Daryl.

Now they're separated.

[MissB]

54. Daryl running.

Wonder if he runs into Glen.

[Brigid]

56. He's at some kind of railroad crossing.

Is this where he shouted to Beth to meet him?

[MissB]

58. Good question!

I assume by the end of this episode one group will collide with another.

[NewJeffCT]

57. and Bob puts the moves on Sasha

and moves in for the kiss.

[NewJeffCT]

59. sasha by herself now

up in an abandoned brick building. Looks defensible at least.

[NewJeffCT]

60. then she sees Maggie about to get attacked

and, suddenly, it's walker city

[MissB]

61. Oops!

I hate it when I drop something.

[NewJeffCT]

62. Maggie is deadly

swinging that No Parking sign

[Brigid]

63. Maggie and Sasha on "Talking Dead!"

[NewJeffCT]

64. Maggie and Sasha come to an understanding

and go to get Bob

[MissB]

65. Oh, this one again.

Not a good group of guys.

[NewJeffCT]

68. Nope

certainly not.

[Baitball Blogger]

66. We have some guest power!

[NewJeffCT]

67. Daryl surrounded by a bunch of guys

living guys. Seem like a pretty capable bunch.

[Baitball Blogger]

69. Yes, but are they racially tolerant?

[Brigid]

73. Do they by any chance know anything about Beth?

Kinda scary looking bunch.

[Solly Mack]

75. Same guys from the house with Rick aren't they?

[Brigid]

76. Could be.

Didn't get a good enough look at them at the house to be sure.

[Baitball Blogger]

77. Yes. We were talking about that actor two shows ago.

[Solly Mack]

84. I remember that.

[Baitball Blogger]

90. He's nothing but bad news.

Just a hunch. As if we didn't already have enough with the Governor.

[NewJeffCT]

79. yes

pretty sure the leader is from that house

[Solly Mack]

85. Daryl needs to remember what Beth said to him.

Stay who you've become.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

87. I think thats the least of his problems right now.

[Solly Mack]

88. True.

[Vashta Nerada]

70. Three episodes left for the season.

Damn.

What happened to Beth? And that group of guys that surrounded Daryl looked pretty nasty...

[Solly Mack]

71. I didn't see Judith in the short end of show preview.

Looks like bad things happening to Tyreese, Carol and group.

I don't want Daryl with those bad people.


Poor Beth. What freak(s) has her?

[NewJeffCT]

81. Maybe it's purely good?

they took her to sanctuary

yeah right

[Solly Mack]

83. Exactly.

[Brigid]

78. OK, what's your vote for tonight's "Talking Dead" question?

I'm going with option #3.

[NewJeffCT]

80. My guess is #2

he'll sneak off on his own.

They seem too competent to all get killed by Daryl

[Brigid]

82. The doggie ftom the episode a is hero.

IRL, he lost the eye saving his owner from a carjacker.

[NewJeffCT]

89. weird preview on Talking Dead

last night. teapot whistling on a stove with gas and through the curtains, you can see a woman or girl being attacked by a walker. Flashback to the early days? Or, maybe somebody has propane left over and is still using it?

[Brigid]

91. Could it be Beth?

Who knows what kind of predicament she's in.

[Baitball Blogger]

93. No. I think it's a sneak preview of Terminus.

That zombie probably has been de-jawed and they're using it as a nanny.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

98. That sounds quite reasonable

The kid was playing with the zombie, not being attacked.

[Solly Mack]

92. Remember how neat and clean the funeral home was?

How the food and drink in the cabinet was obsessively placed and orderly? All like items lined in a row. A little too orderly? A trap to lure people?

Daryl just opened the door on the walkers without hesitation and that was so stupid. He should have checked - listening would have proven the sounds to be walkers. And the way the walkers were huddled at the door - I got the feeling they were lead there.

I could tell it was walkers at the door before he opened it.


Even though the preview appears to be of days gone by, that does look like a walker lunging at a female child. I think the walker is tethered. The child is playing.

I think we've gotten a glimpse into the life of someone who is just plain old Texas Chainsaw Massacre crazy.

And that old music - creepy.

Or maybe that was Lizzie and her pet walker from before her time at the prison. (I kid, I kid)





I saw Judith in a clip of next week's show (The Grove) - before things happen.

[Baitball Blogger]

94. I think you hit it on the nail.

For whatever reason, they wanted steal people. Maybe they wanted to steal Beth because she would make someone a good wife?

But, yes, there were just too many zombies at the door for it to be an accident.

[NewJeffCT]

96. I guess that's even creepier

than whatever I was thinking

[Joe Shlabotnik]

99. Given the setup it has to be a trap,

but perhaps one that went wrong. The weak point in the trap would be having an uncontrollable mob of walkers destroy the place. I think maybe the dog or Beth's piano playing may have inadvertently lured the walkers there. The dog may have belonged to the owners, since he was comfortable coming to the door.

I wonder also, if there was a secret back door that the perps could have used to monitor the situation and or snatch Beth, since the only other way in or out was through the front door.

[NewJeffCT]

102. I was thinking about her piano playing last night

she was not exactly pounding on the keys - she was playing a soft quiet song in a big house where all the windows were boarded up. I don't think it would have projected that far?

[Solly Mack]

103. Good points about the dog and the music.

Walkers are attracted to noise.

The dog could have been trying to warn them.

They had to be monitoring the place. With or without a secret door.

[Brigid]

95. Maybe that funeral home place was the Terminus?

[Baitball Blogger]

97. I think the Terminus is going to be a train depot, and the roving men that Daryl

met up with has some connection to it.

[NewJeffCT]

105. It's possible

but, it looked more like those guys were holed up at the house Rick fell asleep in and then escaped? It definitely had a "lived in" feel to it there.

I have a feeling Terminus is going to be a place that was just recently over-run, but was seemingly safe before. Meaning, they'll all be re-united in episode 15 and then get there in episode 16, only to find out that it's zombie city now... then, they make the decision to go to Washington DC with Eugene, Abraham and Rosita.
