Don’t think there were voices in those boxes; there was a lot of background noise the producers put behind that scene.

If you watched “Talking Dead” program, Rick said they talked about his saying, “They are f...... with the wrong people.” He wanted to say it, said he wanted to make that statement with that word since it was the last scene of the season and he wanted it strong and he felt like saying that word.

[CatherineofAragon]

Rick was on the ball to recognize all of his folks’ belongings. Ripping out a throat didn’t affect his mental sharpness at all.

[KoRn]

LOL!!!

We're watching Talking Dead now...haven't gotten to that part yet. I'm kind of glad they couldn't say that word. All the drama and excellence of this episode would have been overshadowed by people throwing fits over the language.

No, they're talking about it right now...

[ConjunctionJunction]

I thought I heard people screaming “Help!” as they ran by.

[Marcella]

He should have said that word - I would have because it fits.

[miliantnutcase]

They should have let him use the eff word.

[Marcella]

That word is just a word for emphasis. Who is the word King that makes some words made of the alphabet not “nice” to say?

[CatherineofAragon]

It would’ve fit, no doubt.

[CatherineofAragon]

True, but I guarantee you would have heard shrieking to high heaven, all the way into next fall. When the show comes back in October, it would be “the controversial Walking Dead”....it would never end.

[Marcella]

“They should have let him use the eff word.”

Yes, there is nothing wrong with the letter f, the letter u, the letter c, the letter k. It’s just a word for goodness sakes.

[KoRn]

" When he did that, I asked myself if I could do that and I said yes, I could, and since I'm sort of a medical person, I know where to bite to slice that carotid artery."

lol My wife is an NP, and after that scene, I asked her if someone could realistically do that, and she said it could absolutely be done, especially if the person doing the biting had a good set of teeth. The person on the receiving end would surely die if that artery is torn in such a way(near instant dizziness/disorientation>black out>death)

[Secret Agent Man]

you cold also bite into the windpipe. between shock, surprise and the inability to breathe they’d go quick or give you enough time to finish them off.

[Secret Agent Man]

max 10-15 seconds before blacking out. sheer shock and surprise would use up most time.

[CatherineofAragon]

Hmmm, apparently Breaking Bad was allowed an f-word per season (on the same network).

[RandallFlagg]

I'm so glad that Carl's still holding his weapon correctly for this season.

[Vision Thing]

Ripping out a throat didn’t affect his mental sharpness at all.

Well considering that Rick was a law enforcement officer, it was his job: he was taking a bite out of crime.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Two observations:

1) weird that Daryl said Beth was just gone without explaining she was kidnapped.

2) did Rick and the gang run past a pike of bloody skeletons? Are these people cannibals?

[Marcella]

“you could also bite into the windpipe. between shock, surprise and the inability to breathe they’d go quick or give you enough time to finish them off.”

That would work. I suggest we practice ripping out throats to be sure we have it down right. It would be a fast Dracula move. Make a list of those on which we could “practice”. :o)

[CatherineofAragon]

True...that skilled observation is still with him.
