Great Episode! I still enjoy this show and this season has been great.

But the explosion shouldn't have happened. The explosives were removed from the wire. The gasoline jug wouldn't have just exploded.

Didn't they leave a couple sticks behind because Rosita said they were damaged so she set them aside?

Fucking A, Tom. Pay attention.

Yes, but they didn't reattach them to the wire or the gas jugs.

no but they were unstable, that is why they didn't take them. So couldn't a walker have stepped on it and made it explode?

Probably not. Explosives don't work that way. Dynamite needs to be ignited. Gas needs to be ignited. They showed them removing all detenators.

So how come in all those old timey westerns, everybody is always so worried the dynamite sticks are gonna fall off the wagon or whatever.

Dynamite and nitroglycerin are completely different. Nitroglycerin is more delicate.

Best Answer: From Wikipedia:
"Dynamite consists of three parts nitroglycerin, one part diatomaceous earth and a small admixture of sodium carbonate. This mixture is formed into short sticks and wrapped in paper. Nitroglycerin by itself is a very strong explosive, and in its pure form it is shock-sensitive (physical shock can cause it to explode), degrading over time to even more unstable forms. This makes it highly dangerous to transport or use in its pure form. Adsorbed onto diatomaceous earth, nitroglycerin is less shock-sensitive.

Over time, the dynamite will "weep" or "sweat" its nitroglycerin, which can then pool in the bottom of the box or storage area. Crystals will form on the outside of the sticks. This creates a very dangerous situation. While the actual possibility of explosion without a blasting cap is minimal, old dynamite is still dangerous."

Shooting into new dynamite probably will not explode it, but if the dynamite is old enough for the nitroglycerin, a bullet from a high-powered rifle might detonate it. I wouldn't advise trying the experiment with a hand gun because you would be too close to the explosion if it worked.

STOP IT ALL OF YOU. THERE ARE A MILLION REASONS TO HATE THIS SHOW WE DONT NEED TO MAKE THINGS UP TO WORRY ABOUT.

I get why he didn't tell Carol about Glenn and Abraham. She'd have gone from

I think never returning to the Carol character again would be one of the smartest things this show could do.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan on ‘The Walking Dead’ T-Shirt Controversy: ‘People Are Stupid’

Lawrence Yee


On Wednesday, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan tweeted in response after a “The Walking Dead” t-shirt was pulled from stores after customer complaints.

The offending shirts feature a quote from his character Negan and a drawing of his barbed wire baseball bat, Lucille. The quote read, “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe” — the words Negan utters while selecting his victims.

A customer at the Primark retail stores in the U.K. found the quote offensive.

Ian Lucraft was shopping at the Sheffield branch of the Primark retail chain, saw the shirt, and was taken aback.

“We were shocked when we came face to face with a new t-shirt with a racially explicit graphic and text,” he told The Star. “The slogan is ‘Eeeny meeny miny moe’ … it stops there, but of course we all know what the original said: ‘catch a n—– by his toe.'”

Lucraft added, “the graphic has a large American baseball bat, wrapped round with barbed wire, and covered with blood. This image relates directly to the practice of assaulting black people in America. It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood.”

Primark pulled the shirts from its stores and issued the following apology: “The T-shirt in question is licensed merchandise for the U.S. television series, ‘The Walking Dead,’ and the quote and image are taken directly from the show. Any offense caused by its design was wholly unintentional and Primark sincerely apologizes for this.”

In the show, Negan used the word “tiger” instead of the racial epithet. Morgan reacted strongly to the shirts’ removal, tweeting, “Holy crap people are stupid” and including a link to the story about the shirts.

AMC, the network that airs “The Walking Dead,” did not comment on the matter.

Overall i like the show but i totally get why people hate it. They are obviously dragging it out so they can have at a minimum 20 seasons.


But my god, episodes like that are so pointless and a slap in the face. I get it. im not an idiot.

But the next episode will probably be awesome.

[MitchCumstein]

So I always thought the direwolves on GoT were kinda distracting CGI, but that deer. Yikes.

[The Argonaut]

yeah, I got a good lol at that deer in the carnival. And Rick-in-a-Box was some silly shit as well.

They couldn't have saved that much money by doing something that shitty.

[E.H. Ruddock]

That was an awful episode

[lowlight79]

The writing has gone beyond bad this season, the whole thing with the dear. Rick all of sudden forgetting how to be careful for a fucking dear?

[E.H. Ruddock]

And once again, just focusing on one or two "groups" per episode instead of showing what is going on with everyone. Think I might finish this season out then quit.
