Millie we will definitely need a child cage. Sound proof if possible. DH is very useful and can build stuff/cook. You can keep all the Double Deckers. Just let me have the Snickers and Monster Munch.

Well I've finally watched Monday's episode and I thought that Rick and those that killed the Termites kinda stepped in to new territory = brutal murder rather than self defence.

Poor Bob. Loved when he revealed the bite! Grin I said to DH "see it was a goodbye kiss".

Maggot and Glenn why oh why oh why oh why? So annoying that the group has split again. Makes for stressful viewing. Maybe M hasn't mentioned Beth cos she is bored of her hideous singing.

Poor BigT. I loves him. He's so snuggly. Real father figure.

Remind me who is Morgan? I've asked before. Sieve brain syndrome.

I think Darryl has Beth. Just as M has left for new adventures.

Hurry up next week!

McGlashan · 29/10/2014 08:30

Morgan is the guy who helped Rick in the very first episode of the first series when he escapes the hospital. Rick sees him again when he has barricaded himself into their home town and gone a bit mad after his son Duane dies. Remember- with all the walker booby traps.

BingoBonkers · 29/10/2014 09:06

Oh yes! HIM! Isn't he a Brit?

rallytog1 · 29/10/2014 09:09

Yep. It's Lennie James. Where would all these US dramas be without us Brits, eh?

CheerfulYank · 29/10/2014 09:09

Duane dying was horrible :( I know we didn't see it, but...Morgan's description was so sad.

Millie we don't have B&Q but we have other things that are similar. Good idea. I've thought out my island approach in a lot of detail. :o It would have to be big enough to make a shelter on and a garden and some firewood, but small enough that you could see all around if you were up in a crow's nest (which I would build at the top of a tree). It gets very cold here in the winter so we'd have to eat as much fresh food as possible in the warm months and save the canned stuff for the winter. We have good winter gear but we'd have to build a pretty solid cabin with a decent fireplace for the -30 days.

IdaBlankenGhostship · 29/10/2014 10:53

Millie & Bingo Can I join the B&Q barricade, if we can find one next to a Waitrose? We can then see out the ZA with pointy things and chips & dips!

Millie3030 · 29/10/2014 12:59

idablankenghostship Ha ha chips and dips and chainsaws! Love it. The B&Q near me is only next to a 'pets at home', I wonder how many humans would go on to eat pet food when food gets scarce? I'm thinking quite a lot.

I just always think I would want to be surrounded by concrete, kind of where that science lab thing was that then blew up, with the scientist that was testing on his wife's brain. That's the sort of place I would want to be. Concrete, concrete, concrete, get away nasty zombies!

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2014 13:10

I realise I am not explaining this very well

Yes, you are monroe.

precious I forgot about the hanged man eaten from the legs up. It does have some very arresting images. Bicycle Girl's webisode was really sad.

Did Rick and the others really go to the school or did they know the Termites were watching and play a trick to lure them to the church?

IdaBlankenGhostship · 29/10/2014 13:38

I reckon it was a trick to trap the Termites in the church. A good double bluff.

IdaBlankenGhostship · 29/10/2014 13:38

Millie I would go for dog food over the Bob-B-Q Grin

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2014 13:49

Yes to B&Q for weapons. Have you seen that scene in the Wire where Snoop buys a top-of-the-range nail gun to murder people with? I think it's because nails are cheaper than bullets and it's quieter than a gun, which would be handy for not drawing more walkers. It was also gun-powder driven (it got a bit technical, which was really funny when the salesman realised that she didn't want it for DIY) so you wouldn't have to keep recharging it. And I guess in TWD the electricity is off. Which is why it's so dark and I keep missing stuff.

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2014 13:52

A friend's cat died recently and he gave me lots of Thrive cat food. I'd eat it myself. It looks fantastic. The first time I gave it to the cat, he fished the empty tin out of the bin and licked up the last little shreds of chicken.

BingoBonkers · 29/10/2014 15:09

Well where I am there is a choice of B&Qs. One is next to Halfords so plenty of bikes and car repair parts available and air freshners. The other one is a fair drive away but it IS. A B&QS Superstore with McDs, Next, furniture shop, Argos and Mothercare on the same retail park and slightly further along the main road is a M&S Simply Food. So I reckon load up with supplies from the standard B&QS and ship on out the to SuperStore for a more lengthy stay?

Us Brits are doing very well out in the States acting wise I think. It would be very random if it was Morgan. I kind of got the impression that he was going a little barking when Rick last saw him?

McGlashan · 29/10/2014 15:23

We saw Morgan at the end of the last episode of series 4 following them into the woods after they had left Terminus. It was my fav bit.

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2014 16:28

Bikes would be good bingo. I've read The Stand many times. It's been my go-to survivalist manual for a post-apocalyptic world for more than 30 years.

I am very wobbly but I'm sure I could master it with no traffic around. I think I'd be safer on a push bike than a motorbike and you could easily outpace walkers and dodge around obstacles like crashed cars.

The only thing is that I'd be fine in my home county of Essex, because it's so flat. I'd be dead if the ZA hit while we were visiting MIL in Somerset. I'd never manage to get up the hills and I'd probably kill myself careering down them.

Where I live is crap in survivalist terms. There's one very practical store - a Leyland Paints - in two minutes' walk, but it is very small. I'm very good friends with the butcher, fishmonger and shoe mender who have impressive weapons, so if it all went down on a market day - Thurs to Sat - I could rely on them but if it was early in the week... The blokes on the veg stall don't have weapons that I know of but they're very fierce and look like the kind of people who'd have things under the counter for slicing up watermelons Wink.

Sadly though there are too many people round here so it would be overrun by Walkers and quite a lot of survivors competing for food. Many of them would be these people.

Red-trousered walkers would be only slightly dimmer than the living variety but the live ones would be as sharp-elbowed as ever and not to be trusted.

There's a Sainsbury's Market, so not a superstore, a Little Waitrose, a frankly rubbish Tesco, a M&S with a food dept, a M&S Simply Food, a Morrisons Local and a few other Tesco and Sainsbury's mini outlets. There's a smallish proper Waitrose about a mile away in an incredibly posh area. I'd go there just for the joy of spiking obscenely rich Walker women I see wandering round there in diamonds, heavy make up and Shirley Bassey-type turbans buying gin and Kettle Chips.

M&S Simply Food doesn't really have enough tinned stuff. A standard supermarket would be better. I'd have panniers to carry it - I bet they do them in Halfords. I'd get a big torch there too to light the way and as a weapon - in the Godfather book an enormous police-issue torch is the weapon of choice for one of the characters.

CheerfulYank · 29/10/2014 16:31

I agree re the bikes in the Stand, like Nick and M-O-O-N spells Tom Cullen. :o

But if you got stuck in a herd or in a mass of bad people, you'd be toast. A car would.
be better in that instance.

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2014 16:34

Oh, I forgot. There's an Evans bike shop about five minutes' walk away and a Blacks about a minute away from that.

Other than that there are a number of branches of Itsu and Pret a Manger and a L'Occitane and a Molton Brown.

I'm fucked, aren't I?

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 29/10/2014 17:01

Checking in

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2014 17:07

True about the car vs bike CheerfulYank but only in a rural area. You'd never get anywhere in a car where I live. It would be too cluttered with standing traffic with psychotic Walkers at the wheel. Not really that much difference to now.

My strategy would be to have a sturdy bike, body armour and aim for the edge of a swarm of Walkers and get up enough speed to wing them. I've noticed bike couriers doing it so it can be done. Maybe I'd put big knives sticking out from the wheels like in Ben Hur.

MIL's house would be good. It's on a hill with a commanding viewpoint. It overlooks the sea and the town at the front. The back is a bit vulnerable because it's not at the top of the hill. There are people behind living in quite chi-chi houses that MIL despises.

But we could barricade the lower floors and live at the top and you could get down relatively safely from her bathroom extension with a rope ladder.

She has a very large Morrisons supermarket but I feel that would be overrun by people living lower down in the town. They would be toast, eaten by the people at Butlins nearby. It's a holiday concentration camp. I'm sure you have them in the US. Of course, this could happen at any time, with or without the total breakdown of society.

However, if you go up from her house you're onto Exmoor in 10 minutes with all the rabbits, deer, sheep, ponies you could eat.

Abra1d · 29/10/2014 17:29

Armour is what you need for cycling in. Someone in TWD had armour, or padding at least.

Cycling is quiet so doesn't alert them to you.

I am wondering what to do about my yapping terrier.

CheerfulYank · 29/10/2014 17:31

My ILs have a Hershel like area with a farm (used to have cows but just chickens now) and woods full of squirrel, deer, and rabbit. However there's not a good town nearby for runs. I'll just take them, their chickens, and some seeds for veg on my boat. :o

We don't have Butlins!

CheerfulYank · 29/10/2014 17:35

I'd also grab our friends and their goats, boat, and guns. I'll let them know if they've been chosen for this honor the next time I see them. :o

CheerfulYank · 29/10/2014 17:37

Also...would anyone else's favorite thing about the ZA be finally being able to shift their baby weight due to running and starving, or.... Blush

ginnycreeper5 · 29/10/2014 17:43

But if you got stuck in a herd or in a mass of bad people, you'd be toast.

I thought it was clever the way they had Daryl and Beth hide in the boot of the car when a herd was going through.
The sound the herd made during that scene was one of the creepiest moments of TWD for me!

Another moment that gave me the creeps was in the first episode at Morgan's house, when the dead mother walks up to the door and tries the door handle (and I think she peers in?) I think part of her dead brain recognized old actions and habits.

Abra1d · 29/10/2014 17:44

You would be VERY fit. And living on probably a diet of wild animals and berries, once all the tins ran out: very fashionably low GI/low carb/low gluten.

But you wouldn't be looking your best as there would be little hot water and soap. Even Maggie looks a bit grimy these days, doesn't she?
