    you're assuming she was killed by a walker - she may have starved, eaten something poison, drank tainted water - and then turned after she died

    Doubtful. She's got a big wound on her neck that most everyone says is a bite

    I guess she could have been bitten by a trapped, immobile walker and escaped

    I think it's also about Beth realizing not only that she is a strong person, but that Dawn is only pretending to be. Earlier she mentioned how Dawn never does her own dirty work, but rather uses the patients (mainly Beth and I suppose Noah before her) to take care of her loose ends, then uses that as leverage against them. I think that's why she said she finally gets it.

    I think at that point, she was willing to sacrifice herself if it meant killing Dawn. I didn't have a problem with that, except that she barely even scratched her it seemed. Go for the damn throat or something.

    All in all, I'd say it's been a decent season, but not as good as last season imo. I loved the Hershel, Rick and Carl, even the Governor, story arcs. And while I didn't like the meandering in the second half at first, it made sense in the end. I really hope they don't do the same thing in the second half of this season, but it sounds like that is what's going to happen. They need a purpose, not just to survive.

    How you aren't reminded of when the show was good by this season alone is beyond me.

    Is the second half of season 5 starting tomorrow? If so, I'm surprised at the lack of promotion for it.

    Probably wasted all their advertising dollars on Better Call Saul.

    I just now caught up on it. Just in time for the midseason premiere. Solid show that drags at times, and I see flaws more often than I should. Still entertaining. Would like to read the comics.

    Don't get bit on the forearm guys, apparently that's where 90% of our blood is stored.

    Welp... Better call Saul was great.

    Wow. This show did a complete nose-dive in a very short amount of episodes. That will be the last one that I waste my time on.

    Noah = old Carl. Tyrese was such an uninteresting character. Just didn't care for him.

    I kind of liked it. Different and very little plot advancement, but perhaps my favorite filler episode of the series.

    Boring episode, meaningless death.

    Next Episode Please.

    I thought for a second that they were in the Alexandria safe zone.

    That was one of the worst episodes in TV history. There is nothing a show can do worse than step out of its element and try something completely different and fail flat on their face.

    All the foreshadowing and cameos were completely unnecessary. It seems like the showrunner ran out of ideas and now we are just walking aimlessly in a circle. All the "building character episodes" are poorly done and I don't know why they keep doing them.

    No wonder AMC ran 0 promotions for the mid-season premiere.
