Go Danai! I loved how she turned it back on the people who were horrified at that moment.

Right! It's all about being street smart. Stranger danger!

The woman is so heavy and smart, I love just how easy she can speak on world issues.

My Queen is very eloquent and knowledgeable. She makes us think and eat our words.

I love that moment because in retrospect, I'm disturbed to remember laughing at their leaving that guy behind, like, "Pssht! No chance, man!" I was totally in the characters' mentality of season 3 and didn't begrudge their decision at all. Now that we're in season 5, I feel like I'd give the guy one shot, but if he blew it, I'd blow him away in a heartbeat...but I'd give him that shot first. It's like Glenn said: "That's still who we are. It's gotta be." But dang, It's amazing to witness your own arc as a viewer of this show as well as those of the characters...

Michone is the best!

And not only that, but then they took some of his shit when they came back by and he was road kill at that point. But hey, what are you gonna do? lt's the apocalypse, you and your group have been through hell and back, you don't know who to trust, and you need supplies. And in that sense, it made sense...albeit in a terrible, fucked up way.

I have to admit that I was troubled by that scene as it just didn't seem to reflect on the particular characters involved. The guy was begging them for help and didn't seem particularly ambiguous or threatening in any way...they really let themselves down by ignoring his cries of despair.

Family don't even help each other out in times of need so why people were faking the empathy is beyond me. In my life I've had more people tell me off for giving change to a homeless person than commend me for it. fakers are goin'to fake

Norman’s snort laugh

[@jasonviper8512]

well you gotta look at it this way, if it's a time like that people can set u up and then u thought u was helping someone now u might be needing help, that's y i would not pick him up he made it that far, because another point they all have it the crap in them they just going until it's gameover
