The Walking Dead-"Crossed" and "Coda" 127

Combining last week's episode with this week's!


"Crossed"
Back at the church, we see Daryl Noah'.  All the other team members are making the church stronger, putting up boards and such. Rick and a couple others prepare to go get back Beth and Carol. They leave, meanwhile Father Gabriel, Carl, Michonne, and the baby :) (Judith is just so cute, I can't even go one TWD review without remarking how cute she is!) are staying at the guarded church. Sasha, Tyrese, Rick, Daryl, and Noah head out in a truck. In the Atlanta Hospital Beth is carefully watching Carol while the Doc checks up on her.

In the middle of nowhere the gang is trying to get Abraham to calm down but at the same time not be miserable. At one point Maggie even pulls her gun on him! That was a semi-shocker.  We then see in Atlanta, the Rick group is planning on how to infiltrate the hospital. Many ideas come up, then are analyzed. Back the church, Carl is trying to console Father Gabriel by offering a weapon "We can't stay in one place, not for too long anyway.". At the hospital Don is confronted by a officer who says the electricity that is being used by Carol is just a waste of resources. Beth overhears this and then quickly argues with her about Carol's life. Don is allowing Beth to save Carol by giving her the drug room key! Yay Don!

Back with Abraham's group. Tara, Glenn, and Rosita are looking for supplies. While Maggie and Abraham stay behind with the firetruck, Maggie tells Abraham to get over it (it being killing Eugene). In the Atlanta Hospital, Beth inquires the Doc what medicine to give to Carol. He tells her but fears Don has a plan in motion. Rosita makes a clean water filter while telling Glenn and Tara how she met Eugene and Abraham back in Dallas. Glenn spots ripples possibly fish!

In Atlanta, Noah sets up two of Don's police officers. They outnumber them obviously. Then, suddenly a car comes and saves the officers. But the car gets crashed by walker guts. The officers escape again. Dayl and the car driver get into a fight. (While a walker is trying to get them). Rick aims at the policeman car driver. But doesn't back down. Daryl has to talk him down. "Three's better than two" meaning the more officers Don is missing the better.

The officers try to negotiate. One of them, wants to help. He knew Don for the longest amount of time. "I've known Don for eight years. I know her.". Back with Tara and the other two. They get fish and Tara finds a backpack. In the church, Michonne apologizes to Father. We then see him using his machete to undo the floor. Hmmmm. Cut to Beth getting the drugs for Carol while another patient distracts the guards/doctors. She then puts the medicine into a syringe and helps her. "Carol, it's Beth. I just wanted you to know I was here.".

Sasha in Atlanta is still feeling guilty over Tyreese killing Bob and not her. She finally forgives herself. Back at the church, Father Gabriel "breaks out". In Atlanta, the officer gives Rick info about Don and the hospital. And Father Gabriel is so close to being bitten. Sasha and the officer talk. Abraham is still sitting. Maggie tries to get him to drink water, "Did you want me to shoot you?" He says he thought so. He takes the water, good Abraham! Back to Sasha and the officer, he escapes.

"Coda"
We open up to the officer trying to cut his rope while running way from walkers. Rick catches up to him with the police car. And even uses the walkie thing! Rick bumps the car into him, catching the officer still alive but broken. Eventually, Rick just shoots him, "Shut up" kind of comedic weird way.
Father Gabriel is finding supplies on his own cause he ditched the church. And oh my lord what does he find? A bible and the set up where Bob got his leg chopped off. Semi-irony there I guess. He flees when walkers burst out. Then heads running back to the church with walkers right behind him. Carl and Michonne try to bust the boarded up door. They succeed in saving him but walkers bust in the church. Overcome with guilt, Gabriel holds the door while Michonne, Carl, and Judith escape. He also gets out of the church but says "I can't run anymore.".

Daryl and Rick are contemplating whether or not they should trust the two remaining officers. Back at the hospital, Don is trying to locate her missing officers while working out. Beth asks Don about the Captain Hansen who was the previous leader before Don. There are stories but the one thing everybody leaves out is that she misses him. Back at the church, the walkers are breaking down the church. And out of nowhere Abraham's firetruck comes to the rescue! Yay, most of the team is back together. Glenn tells everybody about Eugene. Michonne informs Maggie that Beth is alive. She's overcome with joy!!

In the hospital, Don comes to visit Beth. They chat, mainly about how the hospital is doing and how Don saved her life twice. Another officer overhears and questions Don's authority. "You don't get to threaten me.". Don pulls her gun on the officer. "Don, all I have to do is shout." and then she replies with "And all I have to say you came at me.". Beth gets out of the way. The officer tells Don, "After Hansen you changed!" which results in Don beating him up. At one point the guy has the upper hand when Beth tries to get him off Don, he hits her. Which allows Don to kick him, then Beth pushes him into the walker pit. I don't know about you guys but I loved that scene!!

Beth is in Carol's room again. Don comes in. They talk again, Don wants Beth and Carol to stay. She also says she didn't use Beth and that she won't forget how Beth saved her. The Rick group sets up around the hospital. Sasha has a sniper. So does Daryl. They set up. Rick is at the "vantage point", he also has a weapon, flag, and a proposal for the cops who show up. He wants an exchange, two for two.

                        Commercial=Hobbit Sneak Peak!! #OneLastTime It was so epic, I totally recommend reading the book! The last movie is going to be so cool!

They agree!!! We see Rick bringing the officers in the hospital!! Beth hears something and saves scissors. Beth takes Carol in a wheelchair. There is HIGH tension and everybody gets there people back. Just as we're about to leave, "Now, I just need Noah." and tensions are raised again. Noah agrees to keep everybody save and Beth hugs him.


Then out of nowhere...... Beth stabs Don with her scissors. And..... I'm crying. Don shoots Beth. Who immediately regrets it and Daryl being the one who missed Beth the most and tried to save her, shoots Don. Jesus, I'm a mess. Eventually, the hospital crew just stays there. And then see everybody else from the group traveling to the hospital. Then, we see Rick's group coming out of the hospital. *Cue me sobbing* and Maggie looks for Beth. She then breaks down (Like me) when Daryl comes out carrying Beth. Tragic mid-season episode indeed.

Agents of SHIELD-"The Things We Bury" 125

Peggy and Dr.Whitehall back in 1945

Australia 1945, Dr.Whitehall is doing experiments on people with the obelisk. Present day- we see Dr.Whitehall is with Skye's father.  Dr.W wants to know more about the obelisk-"I know that a special few can touch it without suffering.". Skye's dad informs the power of the obelisk is much powerful than he knows. Bakshi is still being interrogated in the plane. Coulson needs info from him badly! Also he gets to go to Hawaii! 


Bobby tries to interrogate Bakshi  Slowly chipping away at his senses. Mac tells Hunter about how Coulson went insane last week, he's worried about him. Bobby gets him angry by asking him if he's been brainwashed, he obviously denies. Bobby isn't sure but it is possible any Hydra agent could be. The team seems to figure that Red Skull and Whitehall are connected. Then, cut to Senator Ward in a security car driving to a family cabin. And guess who's there waiting?!? Ward! He already took out his guards so it's one on one.


 In Hawaii, Skye and Trip on the mission! Fitz is getting back in the field. Coulson helps him by "muscle memory". Bobby's stress reliever is twirling, which Hunter notices. He tells her bash li  is bothering her, but it's actually Whitehall. Jemma and May are doing research and find info about Peggy Carter! Flashback, SSR Base- "The Rat" in 1945 she is interrogating Dr.Whitehall. Apparently, what you do with a pen shows your character, there are many uses to a pen. 


Anyway, back to the present. Skye's dad and Whitehall talk about finding the "city" about the carvings. But Whitehall does not entirely trust him. "I have nothing to lose." Jesus Christ, he means Skye! "I want to be reunited with my family..... in the afterlife." Not good. Ooooo yay- Ward and Senator time! They fight over Ward getting captured. Bro says he had that planned. Ward doesn't believe that. "I take responsibility for my actions Christian." Then Ward brings out a shovel, tells Christian about the well. And C. believes their parents buried. But "they just covered it up." Back to the plane, Fitz is sorta struggling in his task. Skye and Trip complete their mission, yay teamwork.


 The team find Whitehall's file, Simmons recognizes him! Flashback again to Peggy telling Whitehall being informed he's so to speak disappearing and his files are being destroyed. 44 years later, Hydra breaks him out. Australia,1989 Whitehall finds a woman (who touched the obelisk and survived) he experimented on so many years ago still alive and hasn't aged a day! Present time, the team are still investigating Whitehall files. Bobby interrogates Bakshi gain, this time with a special kick. Fear. But he flips it around on her asking her about her time at Hydra. She changes the subject, on how she knows Bakshi is afraid to disappoint Whitehall. So instead of complying, he knocks himself him out. 


Back to both Ward's fighting. Christian digs to the well. Ward threatens him down there. He finally admits to forcing Ward to killing Thomas. His reasoning, Thomas never got punished and wanted it to stop. He wanted his mother to feel pain. "It's okay, that's all I wanted to hear."-Grant. Wow actually forgiving! "Come on, let's go home." In Hawaii, we find Skye and Trip's mission help with finding if the city exists. Fitz accomplished his task into helping! "We may actually have a shot at finding this city."-Coulson.


 Trip, Fitz, and Coulson get to servers but are ambushed by Hydra. Coulson continues to cover them. Fitz is working on the severs to find the "city" while Trip covers him. And OOOHHHH GOODDD Trip gets a shot!!!! And omg Skye's dad shows up as one of the prisoners as a doctor!!!! Totally not the right time for a commercial! Skye's dad is using surgery on Trip to talk to Phil, and about Skye. Obviously, Coulson finds out he is Skye's dad. And allows Coulson to save Trip while he escapes. Yay he's stabilizing. Dr.Whitehall used the woman to keep himself healthy and young. Grant meets with him, and used his brother. He killed his family and brother. Whitehall trusts him. Bobby and Hunter argue but then uh.... hook up. 


Coulson and Fitz comes back from the mission. Trip is getting patched up. But, Skye can still tell something's off. Coulson is about to tell her they saw her dad when "Match Found" shows up on the screen. We hopefully know where the "city" is! Skye's dad chats with Whitehall and Grant. Skye's dad tells Grant "It's always good to look your enemy in the eye." We think it's about Coulson but then he sternly looks at..... Dr.Whitehall!!!!  25 years ago, he finds his wife "I believe) who was the woman who Dr.Whitehall tested and eventually killed. Now, Skye's dad wants revenge. Yay, I think he is on our side!

The Walking Dead-"Consumed" 123

Awww, the episode starts with a flashback of Carol getting kicked out by Rick. While driving, she finds a place to stay for a while. You can tell she misses the group. One day she notices a fire. When she drives near the fire, we realize this was around after the Governor. Then after the commercial, we are back in the present. Daryl and Carol are in the car talking about getting Beth back! Omg my feels (I ship Bethyl, sorry Caryl lovers!) Suddenly, the black car stops. Two people, possibly cops. C&D try to stay hidden. Oh god, we're screwed. They see us!!! The car leaves. And then ours runs out of gas.... perfect. While trying to get to safety, a swarm of walkers show up. Luckily, C&D get into safe hiding in time. They bond, it's nice :) then we hear a noise. Stupid walkers. Anyway, the next morning Carol wakes to find Daryl burning bodies. 


Later in the day, we see them in Atlanta scoping everywhere out. Daryl disguises a diversion to get a better view on the bridge. Getting through a locked door (So skinny these two!) and find the spot where the bomb set off in season two. Daryl spots the bridge, he sees a car "Definitely some kind of lead."-Carol. Then they turn into art critics for a bit when they see a strange piece of art! And out of nowhere Noah shows up! He takes the weapons, even Daryl's crossbow! C&D bicker about Carol possibly shooting Noah. Daryl says he justs a kid, yay he's a totally changed man.  Finally, they get to the bridge with the van on it. When opened, nobody's there! It is however tipping and to make it worse walkers show up. Daryl drives the car over. Very intense emotions right now. They make it out of the crashed car. Yay! 


Carol got injured, but is still stable. They both see the hospital where Beth is being kept. And scope it out. Again, we hear a noise. It is a walker but it has one of Daryl's arrows. Bullets firing. Carol gets even more injured. Daryl finds Noah again. Takes his weapons back and smokes a cig. Leaves him for dead, Carol this time disagrees. Just as a walker is about to kill Noah, Daryl shoots it, saving him. Redemption in a way of sorts I guess. Noah is worried about the cops finding him. He tells them about Beth helping them escape. Just as they start to leave, the car shows up, accidentally running over Carol. When Daryl is about to run to help her, Noah stops him. Telling him the hospital cops can save her plus they have bigger numbers. Meaning we need to regroup! So that pieces together who Daryl was with a couple episodes earlier, it was Noah! Next week, the pieces start to shift with every group.  

Agents of SHIELD-"The Writing on the Wall" 122

         In New York we a the tattooed man from the last episode on a date with an art teacher. He tells her he "knows" her and shows her his carving tattoo on his stomach. Then we see Coulson carving again, Skye startles him. Everything is still connected. Coulson has been carving more and more lately. Apparently, May has left to find Ward. Senator Ward is covering Ward's escape. In Philadelphia. we see Ward with money and passports. Triplet is on his tail, but Ward has a bomb. Coulson backs off, knowing Ward doesn't bluff. Skye comes to inform Coulson the carvings showed up again. Sadly, on a dead body who is identified as Janis Robbins the woman we saw earlier who is actually a SHIELD agent. We actually identify her as Rebecca Stevens but the weird thing is she died from cancer five years ago. Simmons does an autopsy on her body. In Atlanta, Ward helps a mom and child onto a bus to Dallas. Then, we see Bobby! In the bus, Ward knows it's her. He gets off onto another bus which Hunter is on!  


           Simmons informs Coulson she had GH-325 in Ms.Stevens blood just like Skye and Coulson. To get more information, Coulson voluntarily suggests "torture". Simmons agrees to do it. Mac and Fitz watch over. In case anything happens Mac will hold him down. Skye is helping Coulson through his memories. It works, Rebecca was dying but is saved by SHIELD along with a couple other agents. He starts to see the patients lose control especially with the carvings. He wants to shut down the program but is urged not to. The patients can survive by having their memories wiped and new identities. He starts to remember the patients names. Progress, yay! 


           Back to our favorite character, Ward enters a bar. Hunter is scoping out the place. Ward is found by Bakshi (Dr.Whitehall's assistant). They talk. Mr. Whitehall is very busy man but Ward convinces him by being able to have Coulson shot. Speaking of Coulson, we see him remember Hank Thompson and starts to lose it. Skye tells May, Coulson went into the memory machine. To keep the group safe Coulson has to be locked up. But...... PLOT TWIST.... Coulson locks Skye in. Oh god no, Coulson gone cray-cray! 



          Fitz and Mac talk bout Coulson while playing video games! Simmons looks for Skye, they find her in the locked room. They all quickly leave to save Coulson. Enter Hank Thompson who is currently being held a gun point by the one and only Phil Coulson. Then, out of nowhere the tattooed man knocks him out. May, Bobby, Hunter, and Trip try to locate Ward but instead find Bakshi tied up with tape over his mouth saying "For Coulson" so YAY! First step to redemption!!! Hells yeah #StandWithWard !!!!!! Okay i'm calm now. The tattooed man was actually one of patients, woah! He.... ugh starts to torture Coulson and finds out that he too has been carving.


       Everybody wants to know what the carvings mean. Hank gets free and leaves with his family. Mac and Skye run into Hank who informs them Coulson is getting beat up. Coulson tries to save him by chocking him which actually works. We see Skye and Mac come in just as they figure the secret out! The carvings are a blueprint, it's a city!! Oh my god! Hank and his family are safe. Back at the plane, Coulson, May, and Skye chat about Bakshi from Ward, also Coulson gives Skye his phone. Finally tells everybody about his craziness with the carvings. We have the city map, Hydra doesn't!  


                  Yay Agent Carter on January 6th!!!!


           Then we see Ward shaving is beard and giving himself a haircut. And OH GOD HERE COME MY SKYEWARD FEELS!!!! They are listening to the same song!! (Great, now I have to find that song and title it OTP Feels" Anyway, he calls Skye, and tells her about his latest gift (Bakshi) "Just trying to be helpful."  and OH GOD AGAIN, NOT PREPARED FOR THIS........ "I’ll be seeing you soon. I promise."  and that's my cue to leave! Bye!!

The Walking Dead-"Self Help" 121

We open to see Abraham and the others in their car. They get in a car crash. Eugene is "dazed" while everybody else is taking down walkers. The car gets on fire. Abraham says the mission hasn't changed, going to get another car then continue moving. No retreat. Glenn checks on him to make sure he's okay. He's fine, just needs to know they are moving on. Tara suggests bikes! "Bikes don't burn." Commercial-(Assassin's Creed Unity!!!! Yayyyy!!!! I play that series!!) Anyway back to the show. Abraham has a flashback I believe of a woman named Helen. Then the team scope out a library. And destroy what looks like books. For warmth I presume.


 Abraham and Glenn keep an eye out. Ab appreciates him not skipping out when they crashed. Tara thanks Eugene for saving her like back at the car. He admits to her he knows the bus crashed because of him. He rigged it because he feels that he's useless besides the fact of saving the world. Tara keeps his secret but tells him not pull anything like that again. Glenn tells Maggie, "We get to have little vacations on bookstore floors.". Abraham is on watch.


 After the commercial, we see Abraham in his flashback. Trying to convince Helen and two kids that it's alright, the bad man's gone. They are still scared. Back to the present, they are planning to head north. The plan- take an ambulance!! But it quickly dies down when they try to start it. Out of knowledge a bunch of walkers swarm the place. Glenn uses the ambulance hose! Water pressure! Abraham wants to fix the ambulance. We see more of his flash back. His wife and kids left him, and a note "Don't try to find us.".



 Back in the present, he gets the ambulance working but again stops. Due to air pressure. Abraham wants to go through a city infested with walkers. He starts to bring Eugene through. Everybody tries to stop Abraham. Eugene admits to lying. He's not a scientist. Everybody is shocked. He knows that D.C. is the safest and that he's smart but other than that he's not special. He became scared the further they got to D.C. hence rigging the bus and everything. Abraham beats him up. "" almost pulls her gun. Maggie tries to keep Eugene awake. Abraham's flash back ends with him finding his wife and kids. Then suddenly sees Eugene, and helps him. This is the first time they met. When Eugene first made up the lie. That is the end of this week's episode! 

                   Next week we see what happens in Atlanta with Daryl and Carol.

Late Update-120

            Hey! So, I know I have been not posting at all this past week due to my play rehearsals and performances but they will all be up by the end of this week! In the meantime enjoy this cute picture!   

 

The Walking Dead-"Slabtown" 119

            Open to Beth in what looks to be a hospital room. And a very loud annoying clock. A police woman named Dawn Learner and a Doctor Edwards. She's in Atlanta. They saved her life when they took her in the black car with the white cross on it, "So you owe us.".  #WeAllHaveToContribute Doc Edwards take her to a patients room and cuts the plug, Dawn's orders. Doc takes Beth and disposes of the body to walkers. In the cafeteria, we see Officer Gorman the man who saved Beth repeat the whole owing back thing.


            The doc is listening to records and eats guinnea pig."If you feel safe enough to be bored, your lucky." -Beth. They bond over art and music. A new patient comes in. Doc can't save him due to much blood loss. He feel from a building. They try anyway, Beth helps. The plan fails. Dawn gets upset and slaps Beth. Later on, Beth gets a new shirt... And a lollipop. 


          Dawn finds another patent that has already been bitten. Doc, Dawn, and Beth have to hold her down to cut off her arm. They are obsessed with saving people. Beth goes to get another shirt, and finds the lollipop boy, his name is Noah. He tells her Dawn is losing control. When the time is right, he's getting back to Richmond with his uncle. Dawn visits Beth with food. "Try to look at the good we're doing." It's taken them a lot to get them where they are. To fix the world and compromise. "So keep working off what you owe, and you be outta here in no time." She accepts the food. The newest patient (who got her arm removed) tells Beth, Dawn is controlling everything because it's easy and that she's a coward. 


           Later, Beth looks for her lollipop. Gorman took it, and weirdly licks it. Doc helps Beth out. He shows her "graveyard" of the hospital and shows her why he stays in the hospital. It's safe. On the roof, he explains to her the past of how the whole save people thing started. Supplies and service. Doc tells her to give Mr. Tellers certain medicine. Later on, Beth is taking care of the patient, then suddenly dies after the medicine kicks in. Noah takes the blame and gets punished. Dawn speaks with Beth, she knows Noah didn't do it. And how some people aren't meant for this world.  


           Beth tells Noah, she's leaving with him. They set up a plan to where Beth finds a spare key to the basement. She finds a key card. Then finds blood and a body. Gorman comes in. He hits on her. What a creep. Then out of nowhere the walker body bits him! Beth escapes the room but notices she has blood on her shoes. Dawn stops her and tells her to see Joan in her office. Noah and her gotta go now!!!! Beth is wrapped while Noah lowers her down. He gets down but falls. Beth helps him. Walkers attack and Beth starts shooting. They get out of the hospital. But... are still swarmed by walkers. Beth shoots a lot down but eventually gets taken down by the officers. Noah gets through, which is her accomplishment.


            Dawn finds Gorman and Beth tells her that Gorman deserved it. "No one's comin'" and slaps her again. Beth confronts Doc on the Teller's death, turns out he was a doctor. They would have kicked him out of there was two doctors, wouldn't need him. He did it to protect his job. Beth grabs a syringe about to stab Doc, just as another patient comes in.
 It's Carol!!!!!


          Next week, we see Abraham and the others struggle with traveling to D.C.
