Don't think anybody has started thread on it...

which isn't surprising considering how bad it was. Lessee, the whole gang leaves their denim factory stronghold undefended, load up in a semi, a MRAP, and a plane (which they manage to crash into a herd of walkers), and go on a search and rescue mission for a guy they've only talked to on ham radio. One gets a pipe stuck in her chest in the crash - another goes off alone and gets herself captured by some scary guys in badass black armor. Meanwhile, the potential rescue and his merry band, having tricked our heroes out of the denim factory, just walk into it. These people deserve to get eaten - they're too stupid to live.

I don't even remember anything ABOUT an airplane from last season.
Am I forgetting something? Was there a foreshadowing to some kind of airplane and I don't remember it?

There has to be a massive chunk of back story we are missing...which means there will likely be some backtracking...which IMO kills the momentum of the show. We are still missing Strand and some of the others, so I reckon we will be caught up some after this week.

Yeah, I also don't remember a plane or a pilot for that matter. I maybe could forgive that but not the other idiocy - like I said, dunno how they've survived this long. I've stuck with TWD and FTWD from the beginning and probably will until the bitter end, but this episode doesn't bode well. The zombie apocalypse requires suspension of belief but plot holes big enough to drive the C & L truck through are just sloppy writing.
 
I think I'm pretty much through with this show... I felt like it was hitting it's stride at the end of Season 3 - I figured Proctor John was going to major protagonist going forward..... and then there was Season 4 with it's messed up flashback storyline and that whole story arc around Martha. Really? She was the best idea for a villain the writers could come up with? I could see the whole Martha thing being fare for one episode... but for most of the season??? Geez... it got to to point that whenever she showed up, I just wanted to turn off the TV.

If they're going back to the flashback storyline thing in Season 5 then screw it, I'm done....

I dunnoooooo, wife and I were pretty pissed off about wasting six years on the ABC series "Lost" because of the stupid ending.

Could be, and I agree about it spoiling momentum.

Charlie, Sarah and Wendell are hanging around the denim factory, trying to figure a way to take it back. Al told Victor to find one of her tapes that gives the location of yet another plane he can use to rescue the rescuers – apparently he's also a pilot we didn't know about. Lo and behold, the tape shows Daniel – that guy has more lives than a cat. Mighty convenient that he’s apparently still alive AND has a plane.

Backstory notwithstanding, they still made some pretty stupid mistakes in the last episode.
