Hi Transmute Jun!  I am eagerly waiting to read your review!  In the meanwhile, I need therapy.

Love your reviews [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member]! I am so confused by this episode, though. It never showed/explained how & when the decapitated group was captured. And where were they being held? I thought maybe I dozed off & missed something. ???

There was a brief 'montage' at the end, where people noticed that there were others missing from the fair. This is actually how they did it in the comics as well, with people noticing that others were gone, intermixed with panels showing the victims.

Essentially, Alpha individually convinced these people to leave the fair with her peacefully, then kidnapped them once they were away from others.

Thanks [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] :) I will have to re-watch that part! I wish they would've shown Alpha in action, though.

But if they had, it wouldn't have been so much of a shock at the end when you saw the heads.

That still seems a stretch to me.  While the others didn't know her, Henry did.  I suppose that maybe she could have gotten him to go with her by telling him that she already had Lydia.  But in that montage scene, Henry seemed surprised to see Alpha when she arrived in the barn during the fight.

Once again there's the guards.  Wouldn't they be suspicious that someone they didn't know kept leaving with people they did and then coming back in solo over and over again?  Most guards tend to be suspicious to start with.  Considering they were on high alert because of the whisperers you'd think they would be doubly so.

They hinted at that during her scene with the King.

When Alpha told Daryl about the northern border being marked, I instantly had a GOT head mounted on stakes flash.

Hinted at what? I just wish there would have been some sort of flashback or someting at the end to show how Alpha got all the victims out. Like you said it’s pretty sketchy! ;) ;

Hinted at Alpha's ability to get people to escort her. She got the King to walk off with her.

Got it...yes, she was able to get people to walk off with her but how did she get all of them outside of the Kingdom?  ??? I didn't watch Talking Dead...maybe they discussed it on the show. Or maybe I just shouldn't look that deeply into it :)

Clearly Alpha dug a tunnel with her bare hands and spirited people out underneath the Kingdom's walls... ;)

One question they never answered in either the comics (that I recall) or the show... what happened to the bodies of the victims?
