Are we going to get back to who's in the bushes with Daryl???


Noah, maybe?

hmm, that's a good guess.

I just hope they aren't planning on spending too many more episodes with these hospital people. I don't find them all that interesting.

Nah - there'll be a rescue mission. But I agree with Clark. I'm not finding these characters particularly compelling.

This. They already know the white cross on the back of the car. The scene in the parking lot just showed they have that on all their vehicles. That'll lead the rescue mission to the hospital. She'll get out.

Ugh, I hate when they spilt up into 3-4 different settings in the same season.

next week should be abraham and that group then the week after I assume we'll finally get to Daryl in the woods. My assumption is that the mid season end will unite the three groups at the hospital

Wire makes a cleaner cut on the bone. Ax leaves ragged edges that have to be smoothed.

Actually, I believe the opposite would be true. A sharp ax would make a much "cleaner" cut than a wire saw. The serrations on the wire saw would leave jagged edges on the ends of the blood vessels, which leads to quicker clotting than a very sharp edge simply making a nice smooth cut. I don't think this is what the writers had in mind though- they were probably going for the most grisly scene possible.

Remember that doctors during the civil war performed many, many "surgeries" with saws

Am I the only one that thought this episode pretty much sucked? And Beth isn't even all that attractive now (although in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king). I guess I just don't see the necessity of this episode.

To be fair most people don't appear that attractive when they've spent a few days in a hospital bed. Considering that's what happened to Beth, I'm gonna cut her a little slack on the looks, so to speak.

At the risk of creeping Erik out further, I disagree. I was referring to bone, not soft tissue. Yes, the soft tissue would be more cleanly cut with a sharp ax...until the bone stopped the progression of the blade. The bone would likely crush, and would mash the soft tissue beneath. I do agree with the bolded part, though.

My original response was to why, in a hospital with no electricity, they wouldn't use an ax. I think a doctor would be less likely to use an ax than a rope saw, but hey - I'm just speculating here. :)

I was hoping Beth would shiv the beyotchy female cop and than she almost gets to shiv the db doctor creep. There are a lot of die-worth characters in this show.
