Anyone else figure just how exactly did Maggie blow up that subway roof?

Is my best guess. I think she said something like that but I was kind of tuned out for a second, noticing the Day of the Dead Bub zombie in the previous scene.

The damage shown was much, much bigger than this gif though. And according to her, she only emptied her clip into the ceiling to drop it down like that on all those walkers.

She'll be what they get served for lunch, I'm guessing.
I'm hoping for a Rocky Horror moment. Musical number and all:

To be fair, this is the same reality where people use katanas without upkeep for months at a time.

Perhaps the tunnel was old and weakened by a previous quake. Or Maggie knows Shatterpoint and this is just all an elaborate origins story.

It's also the reality where blood has a very difficult time getting on, and staying in clothing. And where dozens of rotting corpses are easily removed from the front lawn between episodes. And where it takes extremely little effort to pierce with mildly sharp objects the skull of a creature that has enough bone density and strength to stand upright and eat people.

Oh yeah, it's also the reality with zombies. A missing scene with a crumbling tunnel roof doesn't feel quite as egregious a disbelief suspension now.

Um... has Maggie said anything about Beth yet? I don't remember her asking about her little sister who was hiplocked with her two seasons ago.

Priorities. If they had her T-1000ing after both of Beth and Glenn, she would have split in two. So they sent her after her man before her sister.

Plus Beth was with Daryl and he has Plot Armor, so she probably wasn't worried as much for her as about almost-sick-as-death Glenn.

^ I'll be surprised if Daryl isn't killed off fairly soon. I'm thinking he'll sacrifice himself to save Beth(or another core member of the group) from the pack of dirtbag rapists he's currently teamed-up with-- and before he dies he'll thank Beth for making him a better man, or somesuch.

I'd like that to happen (predictable though it seems), as it would give the character something of an arc and a point. Beth too, from then on. But I have a feeling the producers won't risk killing off a character that's so beloved.

Yeah, if it becomes too crapsack and beloved characters die en masse, it could hurt viewer numbers. And Daryl has lots of fanboys/girls.

Don't get me wrong, I like Daryl as a character--he is definitely one of my favorites. However, I'd certainly respect the show moreso knowing they're bold enough to kill off one of the 'big names'. /shrug

Daryl will die cos of his season 4 emo hair getting in the way.

Daryl dying is like Harry Potter dying.

But hey, they made THAT work out...

Nah. I'm rooting for him to die now. Once he got in touch with his feelings he was no longer the ultimate zombie killing badass. Time for him to go.

The moment the cold, badass killer reclaims their humanity and realizes a reason to live, is when they get killed off. It cements their redemption and creates purpose for their overall existence. Daryl will get one more big lesson or epiphany about life, probably concerning Beth, and then he'll get offed. This show is formulaic enough for that.

Game of Thrones on the other hand...

Then again. It does like to kill off kids for no other reason than being annoying and the actors that play them being shit.

I can see Daryl going in this season. My view is that the people at terminus are serving up some Beth steaks. The Glenn and Maggie crew realise and trouble ensues. Daryl and his new band catch up with Rick, Carl and Michone and Daryl sacrifices himself saving them.

And yes. Game of Thrones does love to kill off...well, everyone really. At least next season is the turn of a few of the bad guys.

If Beth gets eaten out I volunteer. I mean eaten. I mean uh... I'm on a touchscreen autocorrect lolz.
