nice.. thanks for this really cool feature guys..

Ok, just watched it,
Was the plight inside the barn real? Seemed very dreamlike.

Well, first I thought it was a metaphor for daryl ,Sasha, and Maggie coming past their grief and the other groupies joining in to fight the " impending coming storm" It did happen because it looked like a tornado or something saved them with the way the trees where torn up and destroyed the deadheads out side the barn. Still a good metaphor didn't you think? Showing their shoes how they " dug" in to fight "Them". Even Carl joins in.
Interesting , they showed Noah looking at the little doggies tags on his collar and Noah not eating any dog meat.
Gratuitous scene for the men ,all the girls with their T shirts in the pouring rain..:popcorn:

It was definitely a metaphor for their grief but it was also an example of why the survivors should hold onto some kind of faith because had it not been for the tornado they would have been killed. Just like the rain, the dogs, the barn - the tornado saved them...

we recently witnessed morgan praying in the church the group was held up in.. he lost his wife & son to the walker apocalypse.. i don't know if morgan lost his faith but he definitely lost & regained his sanity.. was it "faith" he called on to find his was back from insanity & despair?? if it was what could ever happen now that would make him lose his faith??

They really need to give us a flashback on Morgan and how he regained his sanity but I'm sure they will leave that for as long as possible. Morgan is one of my favorites and they need to include him with the group. He is an interesting character because he has accomplished surviving on his own where our group has always maintained that it was not possible to survive unless they had each other. They need to play that dynamic out a bit more...

Ok so back to he barn door metaphor :
The barn door scene was how the people came to the door in the order of who was most broken: first Daryl, then Maggie, Sasha, etc. Carl, who is most resilient (as was explained to us earlier in the episode), comes last, leaving still-unbroken Judith on the ground.
Oh and by the way did Judith also get to eat doggie dinner, did RICK eat it and regurgitate it since she has no teeth?

That's a great observation, didn't catch that. It just makes that a whole scene more powerful to watch and gives more meaning to Rick's speech that children might have it easier in the post-apocalypse.

As for the dog-eating scene, I'd like to not picture the imagery of a baby eating dog lol
