Because Eugene is right about Washington likely being the best place for long term survival, given the amount of government facilities in the area.
Spoiler:
IIRC the Alexandria safe zone was a Government "safe haven" zone with self sufficient electrical supplies etc, built specifically to act as a safe zone for members of the Government.

Yeah, I think Richmond has a chance to be the show's Alexandria Safe Zone.
I'd have to rewatch the ep to get the exact words, but IIRC Noah dropped a "they don't know who I am" kind of line to Beth. Maybe Dad was military or a government type, and was therefore connected.
Noah's specific mention of Richmond almost had to be intentional, right?. They're still in Georgia, so why not just say "Virginia"? To me, that's probably a seed being planted in the script.

I think that Richmond would be easier to represent on TV because there isn't really anything that stands out about the city, the skyline is rather nondescript as far as metro areas go.
Alexandria is only a couple miles from DC and if the characters are that close there is really no reason they wouldn't go into the city (plus, things like the Washington Monument are visible from Alexandria), whereas Richmond is about 3 hours from DC. It would be easier to keep them in Richmond so there is no compelling reason to go to DC, which would complicate filming.

I see that spoiler tags are still a mystery to some people...
I'm not seeing what needs to be spoiler hidden here... We don't have to spoiler the names of characters from the book, and no one is forcing you to click links!
Also, I think that is a plausible theory, Shadow.

A simple request to Spoiler tag it would have sufficed, a sarcastic remark about "spoiler tags being a mystery" was unnecessary. I didn't spoiler tag it because I don't think it is a spoiler. A name, or a url link in and of itself are not spoilers.

You guys have already had several requests and even instructions from yakface to keep all information from the books in spoiler tags and you still continue to ignore those requests.
How hard is it? If its from the comics and not the TV show, then put it in spoiler tags!
It is assumed that anyone reading this thread has seen the latest episode of the TV show. If you haven't THEN STOP READING IMMEDIATELY UNLESS YOU'RE THE KIND OF PERSON THAT LIKES TO READ THE LAST PAGE OF A NOVEL FIRST.
However, this is a thread about the TV show. Therefore, any talk of any characters or plot developments in the comic books must be put inside of spoiler tags (when you're making a post there is a button that says 'spoiler' that puts spoiler tags around content you want to hide).
Transgressors will be fed to the walkers!

Those are names of characters that are not yet in the show and may or may not be a part of it in the future, its the freaking definition of a spoiler. If you wan't to discuss the TV show, then discuss the TV show, if you wan't to discuss the comics then open a new thread so that those of us that aren't interested in them can ignore it in peace.

I think it's a good theory, yes. However, I thought Noah said that the hospital gang didn't save his dad because his dad would have been a threat. In other words, he's dead Jim.

Oh yeah. Guess that discredits the theory then.

Well, to be fair,
Spoiler:
...they didn't encounter Spencer in Georgia either, and Spencer didn't lead them to Alexandria. It'd be one of their less-direct ports from the comic, but it fits in a very general sense.
Or perhaps Noah is a completely new character, and his dad was a friend/fellow Congressman/etc of Douglas. It may be intentional that we have a "Noah" who may be on the verge of leading a group of survivors to safety in the face of a natural disaster.

I the state of Georgia a sponsor/funding contributor to the show?
It pops up at the end of the credits, so I thought it might be. That would be a good reason to stay in state.

part of eugenes character arc is that, while he did lie, is IS smarter then pretty much everyone else, and he knows "how to science" so while it will probably take the rest of the season, so that all three groups can become one again, at or near the end they will all end up agreeing with him that washington is the logical place to look for long term survival options

I was going to say the same thing. I don't think the show has ever left the state of Georgia. They probably get some tax breaks or something.

Yes, because that is still spoilers for the comic. Pretty much everything from the comic should be spoiler tagged because this thread is about the TV show.

Well, whats stopping them filming in Georgia but setting it in Washington?
The Alexandria safe zone is on the suburbs of DC right? Surely it can't be that hard to find some city or region in Georgia that resembles parts of the DC suburbs, then fill in the background/skyline with CGI if its necessary to have something recognizable in the background?
Or is Washington DC really unique architecturally?

It's advertised as "filmed on location" which means Georgia is playing itself. I guess they could just stop saying that but I have a feeling it's complicated or something. Hopefully they'll get out of Georgia one of these days...

Carol isn't coming back to the group. However, now I think that she won't necessarily die but may stay at the hospital to help.
Carol's pretty broken at this point -- and not just from the speeding car -- and she seems to need a place where she can rehab her psyche in a way she won't be able to do on the road with the group.
The difference though - isn't she a certifiable killing machine at this point? They don't seem to keep anyone who's much a threat. Frankly they look kind of weak. How did these turkeys survive outside the hospital?

I can't speak for the comic-universe as I've never read it...
But, in this last episode, I think Carol is well on her way of having her psyche "healed".
She's the one who saved Noah, over Daryl's initial objection.
