Summary

Have you seen The Bourne Trilogy, All the President’s Men, and Prince of Egypt? If yes, you’ll see where the writers of The Walking Dead took inspiration from this season. The title of this episode is “Acts of God”, so aside from the cameo from Brood X, we’d like to know where these other acts are. Don’t miss the zombies biting at the gaps in the armor of Seal Team Sux with the same ferocity of your uncle eating a chicken wing at the family picnic. Next week is the bonus episode of The Walking Dead season wrap where we’ll go through feedback from you. Last chance to send it in at watchingdead@baldmove.com before the show goes on hiatus.

0:54.0	mid-third season finale that did a lot of things, right?
0:59.0	But it's frustrating because it's also fatally flawed.
1:03.0	I'm trying to think, because they just beat this shit out of Maggie with the credible threat.
1:08.0	And I think it would have been very easy for me to be like,
1:12.0	oh my God, I'm about to watch Maggie die here, because it was that kind of tone.
1:16.0	But the whole time I'm thinking, well, there's no way Maggie can die here,
