    Why didn't anybody recognised him? I mean they fight against him and his cannibal cult back in Philadelphia, why didn't anyone mentioned or remembered it?

    Familiar face from another of my favorite shows

    Fans of The Originals will recognize a familiar face in the first few minutes. Marcel Gerard (Charles Michael Davis) plays a talker and it was awesome to see him as zombie and not a vampire for once. Great show, definitely worth watching!

    Unable to Suspend My Disbelief

    I simply cannot bring myself to suspend my disbelief; because there simply are way too many goofs to ignore. This is one of the dumbest episodes, ever.

    So: a "talker" decides to start munching on a cellphone it found in a recycling yard. Yes, it takes human brains to be able to use electronic devices but there are no such brains located inside them; whatever in the world prompted a brain-dead zombie to eat garbage.

    "Talkers" also magically learned how to use firearms. I wonder if they gained that ability by eating bullets.

    Nothing bad had ever happened in that "mine" before, right. And congratulations, "talkers", on the shortest revolution ever. Not quite 60 seconds.
