Did you watch?
For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

Man. AMC is just dragging this show on. They only continue it because they have people who still watch it (for some reason). They should have ended the show after Hershel died in season 4.
I can't believe I'm watching this. WHY am I watching this?????
I'd move to West Virginia...
1) The Zombies wouldn't have teeth (burrrrrrn)
2) You could travel a couple miles into the mountains for the summer, cool weather
3) Travel a couple miles to the south for the winter, stay warmer easier.
4) Zombie hoards would have a veeery difficult times traveling the land. Very rocky.
I think people are completely underestimating the "zombie strength" factor where.. these things do not have any blood or oxygen pumping to the muscle, so it's not like it's a natural thing with limitations. Just one of those things that if you're willing to believe a show has corpses walking, you just accept that in this iteration, the zombies are not limited by the body's normal, living physicality.
I really do not find there to be anything close to an excessive amount of flashbacks.
Think about it: in the span of two episodes (six, if you count Bob's death), the group has lost its most moral, upstanding characters, and I think that speaks to the direction the show is going. They're trying to show that the longer this world wears on, the more you're going to have to adapt and do things you didn't think you were capable of doing.
Tyreese was too good-hearted for this world. He was struck by the plight of Noah's family, someone so directly hit with a truth bomb and was captivated by the photos on the wall. I mean, it's easy to say that we'd never have our guard down after surviving so long, but we'd never truly know for sure.
Also.. wasn't he behind a door in the hallway?? How the hell did he even get out of the room? Okay now I'm on board

I was curious if the person behind the door was the brother or if it was the "Gov'na" zombie. I assumed it was the brother but, yea, how did he get out!? And if the premise of the Governor zombie was that he came in from outside of the house, why would he have sought out Tyrese and not have followed the screaming Noah that was looking for Rick? Either way, not sure how either one busted through that door.
My wife and I were talking and she mentioned a whole bunch of things I didn't notice. Apparently there were pics of dogs all over the kids room, and that means something to the future. Also, all those people cut in half that we see at the end had a "W" cut into their foreheads, and that will be explained too.

Yeah, probably the wrong emoticon to use. My bad dude

I didn't catch any photos of dogs but will check on the rerun Sunday. Well there was the "Wolves Not Far" warning graffiti on a brick wall. and next week's preview footage.
Some sites blunder by stating "Wolves not fair" [accesshollywood.com] or "Wolves not fear" [comicbook.com].

I would NEVER have read anything into it (it would be like saying 'the next interaction is going to be with the Air Force since there are so many planes") but that is what apparently people are saying...

Oh noes scary Boston Terriers! I see 1 shark and a killer whale.
I saw but didn't pick up on the time references they had [moviepilot.com]. Well those "Dead End" and "Do Not Enter" signs [youtube.com] were cute.
Because I DEFINITELY remember reading some information about the clock times and the radio broadcasts and now I can't find those posts.

One of the links in the post just aboves yours has a bunch of stuff about time.
I spoke about it nearly every episode of the first half of Season 5, but the theme of 'time' is still being focused on an enormous amount.
There were a couple very obviously placed clocks in this episode. First up we saw the big grandmother or grandfather clock randomly strewn in the middle of the road, which seemed to be ignored by all members of the group except Tyreese who was trailing behind. It almost certainly foreshadowed his death - his time was definitely up, the clock was ticking. The second clock was on the radio that Tyreese heard 'broadcasting' in Noah's brother's bedroom (fun fact, that voice was Andrew Lincoln talking in his real accent!). The clock on the radio pointed to 5:10, another nod to Season 5, though normally it would show the episode number (which was 9) as well, however this clock definitely looks like it shows 5:10, what are your thoughts?
Finally while we're speaking of time, the season has jumped 17 days since we last saw them at Grady Memorial Hospital, which makes sense since the group was almost in Richmond, having traveled for over two weeks to cover the 500 miles. The final indication of time was certainly the skeleton in the woods, showing just how much time had passed since the outbreak that bodies have had time to decay to bones.
EDIT: Commenter Chris W. Cody has just pointed out that the clock is probably pointing to 2 rather than 10, indicating that we're into the second half of Season 5, or Season 5b (b = the second letter of the alphabet).

Edit: May as well throw in this hilarious photo recap of the last episode: http://imgur.com/a/5vckm (Yes this contains spoilers)
