rick's not losing his hand. The comic author admits that was a stupid idea.

I think a lot of TWD fans seem pretty mental from what I've seen. They forget it is fiction and that's a bit scary.
What kind of an idiot designs a barrier wall and puts the supporting struts on the outside?
I think they already covered that a while back. He had it bandaged for a while as a nod to the comics I think instead of actually losing it. Probably easier that way.
In that situation, I agree he should be. They left it intentionally ambiguous for a reason. He is either alive, or they are using to bolster rating and viewership numbers.
I don't think he is simply for the fact that it is not the mid season finale. That is when they kill of members of the core group. Unless they are changing how they do things mid stream.
Anyway, it doesn't look like next week's episode is going to deal with Rick or Glenn. Looks like it's all back story with Morgan and the Wolves. Closure isn't coming any time soon on this one.
Bloody dull episode. Watching it now.
What she means when she says dull is there is a lack of Daryl. I promise you if there was 90 minute episode called "Daryl takes a shower" and started with him walking into the bathroom and after 90 soap sudsy minutes ended with him looking into the camera and winking she'd have the episode on loop.
That said I still don't like the episode. Mostly cus I don't quite get how he came to the conclusion that 'clearing' was . . .anything. I get killing walkers all day. I get killing people who are following you. Lets face it the good to bad ratio of people in this world is pretty heavily skewed. Anybody following you but not shouting "I'm your friend I promise" is automatically evil. Anybody who is has 30% chance of being to stupid to not draw walkers (should be killed), 30% of trying to get your off your gaurd (should be killed) and a 60% chance of being a genuine good person. Also you should kill wolves. This is not a happy place. So even the other guy coming to that conclusion is at best nonsensical.
I also don't think Aikido or most martial arts would work particularly well on walkers. Sure some of it would but so much of martial arts works on reflexes that they don't have.
Oh well. I'll live.
Not actually true as my all time fave episode was Smell The Flowers which was all Carol.
Look at the flowers, cuntalata.

That was a rough episode.
Akido is about redirecting the attacker's efforts, hopefully without hurting them, until they are too exhausted to harm you further. So redirecting a zombies "lunge" so they pass you so you can then smash their brains would be pretty effective. The smashing brains wouldn't be Akido.I also don't think Aikido or most martial arts would work particularly well on walkers.

But it also includes being really aware of your surroundings, which Eastman really failed at by turning his back on the walker so he got a nasty bite.
I thought the last bit with Morgan and the couple being attacked by a zombie was pretty dumb. There's no way that couple could have survived this long. Unless there are people from other places like Alexandria there shouldn't be any wimps still alive.
For the location of the cabin, it would have been in GA, not near Alexandria, since he saw signs for Terminus after he left.
How far out is Alexandria, I admit I don't have a working map in my head but I thin kthey've covered a LOT less ground than your thinking they did. At least from what I can see in flashbacks Morgan hasn't driven in quite some time.
