Has anyone else checked this out.  I think I found a hidden reference in the second house in the living room.   

 

If you zoom in on the bookshelf, where Carl was looking the last book on the left is "Wide Is The Gate" - Upton Sinclair BUT as with many hidden references in this show the title also ties to a biblical verse.

Matthew 7:13 ""Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it."

Not looking to get into a theological discussion, I just thought it was interesting. 

 

I don't remember.  Did Carl pick up a book on the shelf when Carol was looking at the paper?

Innnnteresting. But I'm more mesmerized by the decoration in the main house. 

[Serenity@sea]

Thanks for posting the tour. That's pretty cool.

 

 I just noticed the chair in Deanna's house (where everyone sat for their interviews) was filthy. It looks like Daryl did sit down after all. haha

 

 

This chair will have to burned after our road weary, filthy group sat in it.

Shane are you talking about the Morse Code framed picture?

[FijiFace]

Also -  in the Monroe house, one of the CDs on the mantle was the band "The Suicide Machines"  - not really something I would have expected the doctors who originally owned that house to have.

[Serenity@sea]

This is cool too. Here's a map of ASZ.

Neat little map, too:

 

Edited - dammit, Serenity beat me to it!

Edited again: This place has an awful lot of entrances/exits for such a small place, yes?

Michonne had a book in her hands while she was being interviewed. Anyone notice the title of it? I forgot to go back and check.

[Lioness]

What was that picture over the mantle in Rick's house? Fallout?

[Shane is the Man]

That, and the furniture too. It's a bit bland, but a few houseplants and a little bit of color and shit, I'm already picturing myself having some coffee on the sofa.

Interesting, since the survivors have become the judge, the jury and the executioners of this world.

Minor Comic spoiler:

I don't think the show has ever gone into Michonne's occupation, but I know in the comics she was a lawyer. So that is an appropriate choice for her.

The interiors look like a Pottery Barn threw up in there. I think they were going with a model home look, so it fits very well.

The picture above Rick's mantle is of The London Eye

Does anyone have a map of comic ASZ to compare?

People have children who also have music.

But just as an aside, I'm 45 and I listen to the heaviest of metal, the angstiest of punk, the twangiest of bluegrass, and the softest of rock. Some people just have really eclectic tastes.

I couldn't find one, but I found this description on The Walking Dead Wiki:

 

Comic spoiler (maybe?):

Spoiler

The area runs on an isolated power grid and was put together by the government in case of a major disaster. However, the power grid does not work the way it was intended as half of the houses do not have hot water and there is not enough power to run all of the lights at the time.^[1]

The zone originally contained two streets of houses, a meeting house, an armory/storehouse, and infirmary, and was expanded by Abraham and Tobin's crew^[2] to include more houses, a general store, and a church.

There are under 60 residents of the Safe-Zone before Rick Grimes' group arrived, and with their inclusion there are "over sixty" residents.

A variety of exits are essential, providing they are secured. If the community has to run you want to be able to run in every direction.

True. I think it just freaked me out because we haven't seen much in the way of security - and a lot ways out also means a lot of ways in...

[Serenity@sea]

A variety of exits are essential, providing they are secured. If the community has to run you want to be able to run in every direction.

But it is also adds another vulnerable spot to your defenses. I'm curious whether all the exits are guarded. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I love Lisa Gerard. My husband does too but he also loves Five Finger Death Punch.

[Soaked_Pancakes]

Better picture quality than Google Street View.

 

So is it just me, or does Alexandria feel smaller and less populated than in the comics? Maybe I'm overreacting :S Maybe that was a conscious decision to cut back on hard labor and extras?

[hannsg]

its really small

Looks like just 10 private  houses

two admin type buildings (storeroom , armory,electric)

and the "big house"

+ solar grid

Most just be 20-40 people there before rickocrasy crew turned up

 

It will make a great fire when the time comes for rick to burn it(CDC Farm prison woodbury)

Although rick failed to burn down GMH so maybe the trend is broken.

Gee, Carol is a good artist!

[UltraAmbiguousID]

I looked at the Google Walk-thru this morning before I went to work.  

 

Did anyone notice an incredibly weird, large stain in the dining room of the Monroe house?  If you're in the room where she interviews people, turn around and look towards her kitchen and I swear there was a ceiling-to-floor stain.

 

Anyone?

Yes, you are right. Water leak? I must say, although she appears to be well-read Deanna is not a very tidy housekeeper.
