So, Carol sort of mentions Jeffrey Grimes in episode 3. Think
we'll actually see him?
[spoiler] and would they just give him his comic book death of
being bitten by a walker on the boat ride to America? [/spoiler]

I really enjoyed this episode. I was right that the pig race was
rigged. Roberto wanting to leave with Daryl and Carol was
predictable though Justine deciding to take Alba's place was
not. But Justine is such a kind and generous person that her
decision made sense once Carol unintentionally put the idea out
there. Btw, I find Roberto's father to be very handsome. Carol
better hit that.
The two women having sex when her husband was in the town was so
crazy, but I guess they were desperate to have time together.
I wanted the captain to explain to Daryl and Roberto that
sailing is not as easy as having a functional sail boat. Maybe
she intends to sail them across the Atlantic. I laughed when she
kissed her two lovers.
BTW, I was in the Chat with @hoogie Thanks, Hez.

It was when Antonio mentions Barcelona, and Carol says:
"Barcelona? I have a friend whose brother lived there." Friend
is Rick & brother is Jeffrey. I actually read that little side
comic about him and I haven't even finished the main comic! I
think Last Summer's Sweetheart put it up on the old forum for
us.

Ah, I didn't pick that up. Actually, I forgot that Rick even had
a brother.

I completely enjoyed the episode. It took me a minute to make
the rubik cube connection. There's too much time in-between the
seasons.
I love that this guy Carol is staying with called her on all her
shenanigans in such a wonderful way.
I hate Justina is leaving. Roberto is going to be heart broken.
I don't believe he will leave with them to Ohio. It will be
interesting to see if the old lady captain goes with them.

As soon as I saw The Offering, and heard that Justina had
somehow miraculously been spared for years, I knew the game was
rigged. I also figured she would swap herself for the other
girl, given her sense of guilt.
The big question is, what is the true nature of La Ofrenda:
there was some vague mention made of the girls being sent off to
be married, but not to whom. My suspicion is they are "married"
to a walker in some sort of attempt to appease the gods/ keep
the walkers at bay situation. IOW, offered up to the walkers as
a sacrifice. This would be in line with the sacrifice of virgins
to the dragon in 1981's Dragonslayer, and how the names of some
girls were kept off the list.

Aargh, that is horrible! This hadn't occurred to me. I hope it
isn't true. I figured that the girls were being married of to
older men since the "King" had a young wife. The wife did tell
her lover that she found out where she was from talking to one
of the girls from her town and she made it seem like the girls
were okay. It could be that she lied, but I don't see how she
could be so tolerate of her husband if he was sacrificing young
girls. Unless, she doesn't know the truth. She might think that
the girls have gone to other villages, but they really are
killed instead.

I think it's possible they are moving girls around the country,
to prevent inbreeding. What troubles me is it seems the Ofrenda
has been happening pretty regularly (sounds like once a year?)
with girls being sent out of the town to wherever it is they are
being sent. But the town has not received girls (or young men,
if the numbers are skewed such that they need more young men --
I can't really tell, tbh) from the Ofrenda, just keeps sending
girls out.
So what is the point? To keep rich old men supplied with pretty
young girls from the provinces because such is the nature of
power? It wouldn't surprise me. It has happened in the past,
happens today (FLDS), and is the subject of dystopian fiction
(The Handmaid's Tale) due to its believability.
But this is The Walking Dead Universe, and adding a macabre
walker twist to it also would not surprise me.
