IIRC, they said stuff about Ft. Benning in S1 or S2. Seems like they came across someone who said it was gone, but I can't recall. However, that was a long time ago at this point in the time line. Atlanta was overrun too, but now it's a ghost town. Maybe Benning is the same way. If so, it's likely a place to score some beans and bullets unless it has already been picked over, which is also likely.

I'm hopeful that having them on the road again will bring about more of those fear moments.   What I'm not quite understanding is what their goal is. I know they're going to Washington, but why? What do they expect to find? Other than it being the nation's capitol and home to bunkers for VIPs, what makes it special? I know right now they're desperate to find any hope of civilization, but I would think that Atlanta, Woodbury and Terminus would make them think at this point that they'd be better off setting up something on their own like they had at the prison for a while and at the farm before that (though that was more dumb luck than planning). I'd think they'd be better off looking for a military installation than another big city. Kings Bay is close'ish to Atlanta (closer than DC) with plenty of secure areas and hardened buildings, plus food, fuel, and military grade vehicles, weapons, and comm gear.    Obviously military bases would be popular with refugees so there'd be plenty of Zs. Also popular with surviviors so it could be a busy place. They could instead go low-tech and find an old fort like Fort Pulaski near Tybee Island. Something like that would be more compact and easier for a small group to secure and hold. Similar to the prison but without being, you know, a prison. Then farm the courtyard and fish the channel. Bonus.....it's on an island! Or better yet, try for Fort Clinch on Amelia Island in Florida which provides a short boat ride to Kings Bay. Short enough that it could be done in kayaks if needed. Nice and quiet and no fuel required. Plenty of fresh water near either fort for filtering.   I guess I'm thinking they should be looking for a good place to setup their own society again instead of searching for one already made. The prison was a good idea and it worked. It would have kept working if it wasn't for the governor. Maybe we're far enough past Patient Zero that there aren't any more good secure locations still intact, not overrun with Zs and not claimed by unfriendly survivors.

  Yes. For the last 5 seasons and there's no end in sight.

The big draw in season 1 and in the sporadic "good" episodes ever since then is fear. The viewer experiences that when a character in whom we're invested or the group as a whole is in danger. The bridge scene in this week's episode had the zombies, but I felt no fear. It's just rote skull-stabbing, not unlike clearing the fences at the prison. Even when Sasha went rogue I didn't really feel drawn in to any kind of fear. They set up some fear well with the Zs attacking the barn door during the storm. That was cool. I thought they were going to bust through the door and start a big melee brawl for survival, so imagine my let down when we instantly go from "OMG! I'm slipping in the dirt trying to hold this door closed against the wind and an army of the undead!" to everyone's asleep with early morning light streaming in and birds chirping. WTH? It was a good setup, but only 10 seconds of potential fear. I say potential because they keep doing crap like that so even when they do a good setup for what should make me be afraid for them, I'm not because it all has a reasonably high chance of turning out to be much ado about nothing.   That fear is what made Breaking Bad such a good show. The viewer is in fear for someone important in nearly every episode. Often times that tension ran the entire episode with only a few pressure-reliefs with some dark comedy but the tension overall mounted as the episode went one, then left you wanting for more. TWD writers need to figure out how to do that again. They did it in S1 and I think they can do it again. Right now I get to the end of a TWD episode and think that overall it was alright and I'll watch next week too, but I don't want to watch next week's show the way I used to.

Yamaha says the dimensions are 78.5 x 43.0 x 44.1 in. That's just a shade over 6.5' long, so it won't fit without leaving the tailgate down. Bring some ratchet straps to secure it. It will fit between the wheel wells as those will be right at 4' apart. That's all assuming the dimensions at Yamaha's site are accurate.

  I prefer mine wrapped in a quality jacquard fabric, or maybe a paisley print. I've been known to use a nice corduroy in a pinch.

They may get into that next week. So far Sasha and Maggie are the only ones who have seen the downed trees, but I suspect they'll be preoccupied with the L.L. Bean cannibal.

They had a good run in the late 80s/early 90s with cast members like Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, and Chris Farley. Other time spans have had a good one or two cast members plus a bunch of mediocre ones. Billy Crystal, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, etc.

I now get all of mine direct from China. If my jeans don't have charming lool, I don't want them.

  I've never owned a pair of 34 inseams that fit like a pair of 32s quite like Lucky.

I'm with OS on this one. I kind of liked the flashbacks and the humanity of Tyreese coming to terms with who he was, who he is, and the end of his life.

I find the 34" inseam  "Wrangler Originals" at Target to be longer than most 34's, which is what I need too. They're thinner, and obviously not real Wranglers, but they fit.

I counted nine loose rounds in the photo. I assume there's one chambered too for an even 10 rounds. If so, consider it SPF.

Does that Hipoint include the ammo, or was that just for the photo? I'm not going to be one of those guys that nitpicks you over everything. I don't care if it doesn't have the lock or cleaning brush because that ammo adds real value.                 Do you still have the manual?

:D

What peejman said.   JT Hannah's is probably the best of them in PF.     I stand behind Hungry Bear BBQ in Gatlinburg. Good stuff. Not fancy, just 'cue on a bun in a styrofoam box, but darn tasty.

I generally find both towns to be a wasteland when trying to find good food. J.T. Hannah's in PF is not bad. Nothing special, but the food is generally good. Hungry Bear BBQ in G'burg is good.   Cherokee Grill and Park Grill (both near light 10 in G'burg) look like the nicest places in town, but I haven't tried either yet.   Pretty much everything else I've tried tastes like "how much of this cheap crap can we sell to the throngs of tourists?"

  You should be thinking "Merry Christmas" now.....   :D

LOL! There's a Rohm RG-14 in there! It's up to $55 + $25 S&H + FFL Transfer + BG check if applicable to the buyer. Dude could be out north of $100 for what 's described as "Condition is about 30%, there is a fair amount of rust." If I know Rohm, the rust is worth more than the gun. :)

  Water's fine. It's when you mix it with Scotch that it becomes dangerous.

Hozzie, can I steal use your email text?

  There you go talking all crazy again. The next thing we know you'll be saying they should repeal some of the existing laws.

If you diligently watch Craigslist (I use SearchTempest.com for it) you can usually find Hondas for not a lot of dough, but you have to wait for the right deal. I scored my EU6500is for just a few bucks over the new price of an EU2000i. Run time on it was only 8 hours when I got it. It's Craigslist, so some fall through. I drove up to Scottsboro, KY in the snow a couple years ago to get an Eu2000i for $500 but dude never showed. Sometimes it's that way.
