Carol seeks out an old friend living alone in a wilderness teeming with walkers; survivors make the perilous trek to a new home.

I hope we find out what the issue is with Maggie and Michonne , it's not Negan, it has to be something that happened after the bridge.
Is it me or does Henry remind you of a knight's page. I'm finding him annoying.
I like Luke, he has an innocence about him that even the younger cast members don't have.
Aaron may be the best candidate.
I was thinking of medieval/fantasy knights and their young apprentices.
And why was Rick singled out? How did they know he existed?
Now that they have reached that point, I find it a bit dull. It is politics instead of warfare, and that is going to be very dull.
Was that C.Thomas Howel appearing as the messenger from hilltop?
C. Thomas Howell Made a Cameo Appearance on ‘The Walking Dead’“I knew my buddy was in town and half jokingly, I said ‘Hey, I got somebody who could do it.’ Our producer Tom Luse said, ‘Who?’ He said he’ll check with [showrunner] Angela [Kang], and that if it all works out, bring him in,” Cudlitz said.
Howell, who also appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man and Marvel-Netflix’s The Punisher, had just one condition for the cameo: the potential for a recurring role.
“I said ‘I’m doing my directorial debut, and I’d love for you to be part of it.’ He goes, ‘Mikey, I got one question for ya. Do I die?’ I said ‘No,’” Cudlitz said. “He said ‘So I could potentially come back some day, right?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘I’m in.’”
Did Carol trap Dog to draw Daryl and Henry together?
The isolation of these fairly close communities seems extremely odd. Also it shows how few survivors there are if no folks have come scouting from large communities in all those years.
Why 'The Walking Dead' Virus Doesn't Affect Animals, According to ScienceThe zombie virus on The Walking Dead is exclusive to humans, a detail which can be justified through science.
"Some viruses are very species-specific," Tara Smith, a microbiologist and infectious disease epidemiologist at Kent State University in Ohio, told LoveScience. "For example, measles and small pox, humans seem to be the only host for those, they don't jump species."
While this virus is human specific and cannot plague other species, not all viruses can only be carried by one species. "One of the ways we think Ebola may have spread into people, especially the 2014 West African people, was contact with bats or potentially eating bats, we're not 100 percent sure," Smith said. "Either way, bats seem to be the reservoir, but they don't seem to be affected by it. It's not symptomatic in them, but it causes huge symptoms in humans."
For that reason, Smith suggests humans "try to minimize time spent in close contact with [their] animals," especially in worlds like The Walking Dead's.
While Daryl's new dog is not affected by The Walking Dead virus, nor are the pigs from the prison days, it could have been possible for select species of animals to be affected while others remain immune. "Some flu viruses can affect a broad range of species, and we saw that with H1N1 outbreak in 2009," Smith said. "So, whatever it is, it still seems to be human specific, otherwise you would expect to see zombie animals."
There is a scientific breakdown which can be simplified for the average person to understand why the zombie virus (or real life viruses) work in such ways in regards to being species exclusive.
"Viruses typically have a tropism — that means they can only bind to certain types of cells," Smith said. "Sometimes the protein they have that would bind to cells might be ubiquitous to all animals or all mammalian species, or it can be really specific."
It seemed like Dog was too smart to fall prey to the traps Daryl set for game and walkers; plus Carol is smart enough to outwit Daryl, especially if motivated by concern for a loved one.It is possible but how could she has done that and taken the dog far away from his owner without Daryl noticing it?
Is that woman serious? There is no science that can explain how an upper torso can survive on a stick, or a man with no abdomen can still walk. There is no need to try to do this. We gave up trying years ago here. The premise makes no sense. It is pure fantasy.

I think Daryl has overwhelming guilt for his part and does not know how to deal with it, so he is off on his own.
To me they are equally as smart, but Carol is out of those two more motivated one to do what needs to be done. It might be that Dog (Not God from the Preacher) really fell for Carol's good deeds, but even then, why tie him down to place where Walkers get her. How did she know that Henry was going to follow Daryl and save his life at crucial moment? How did she knew that Daryl was going to be there at right moment to save dog and kindle with the boy? To me there was too much of random in the play for it to work exactly as it did. She was also surprised that Henry saved the gruffy man from trouble and not stood back as they'd thought him.
Yes, she is. We have had these viruses going for hundreds of thousands of years. Some of them has passed the species cap, but most of them play by the rules and stick to one species instead of doing a full spectrum infestation. It is very unfortunate that Ebola, or N1H2 has passed to us, but in the other hand we went there and invaded their world. Normally what the animals get, we don't and what we get, we don't pass it to the animals ... or we do but it doesn't affect them the same way. That is basically what she is saying.
For six years? What sort of man plays by the grief rules for that length of time?

I think he said it was easier to stay out there than go back. Not getting over it, as he is sitting there wallowing in it, I get it. I think some people sink into depression and stay there for years. with out pills they can not snap out of it.
