Let's use this thread instead of the regular tv/movies one.
No spoiler tags here, discuss at will. Ye be warned.
So, Glenn is gone, because of that untrustwhorthy asshole. Rick seems fucked, how will he get out of there? The door is on the side where the walkers are coming, unless there's a way to exit from the back and avoid the walkers there.
Should be interesting next week. They sure learnt to keep up the suspense now.
What was Daryl up to that he had to leave all of a sudden?
There should be doors on both sides in the front of the RV and besides, Rick is faster than the walkers. I think that scene was more a teaser scare than a real danger.

I have no idea. I thought he was going back to Alexandria, but then we never see him turn around and he just comes back to the car.

what happenned to his hand, he was cut or he was bitten when his blade broke? If he was cut and there's walker's blood on his hand, what does that mean?
I enjoyed the first season of this show. Then the whole Governer storyline bored the shit out of me and I gave it up. Is it worth getting back into?

From what I saw, he was hacking at those walkers with a knife, and one of them had a machete (which he switched to to finish off that last one) stuck in its collarbone that cut his hand while he was hacking.
Meh Glenn has been dead in comics for bit. So kinda figured not if but when.

Meh, from I've seen, comparing TV/comics timeline, he was about due to kick off, but not as zombie food. That just makes me wonder if they're even going to have the Negan character at all, or if someone else takes Glenn's place there (maybe Daryl, who doesn't exist in the comics at all).
The only really bad part about Glenn's death though, is that it was rather lame how it went down.

Darryl did turn back after he heard Rick's speech.
This is fucking bullshit. I dealt with 3 seasons worth of TWD spoilers on the TV/Movie thread. Fuck you all assholes! :mad:
Yes, I'm pissed. Either they killed Glen in a stupid way by a hated character OR he somehow rolled under the trash bin and the walkers had been tearing apart Nick just so that the show can play with my feelings and leave me hanging for two weeks (next week is a 90 minute Morgan flashback episode it seems).
Fuck y'all again. Assholes.
Great season so far, but I'm really bummed about Glenn's possible/likely demise. I don't know why they didn't try the fire escape stairs; it had some debris on it but they probably could have climbed over it. I'd think going up is a standard way of escaping walkers.
Rick appeared to have cut his hand on the broken knife. Those guys that attacked him in the RV were the survivors that Morgan let go. Denim guy had picked up a gun from a dead Alexandria resident after Morgan faced down him and his minions. Really bad move by Morgan to have allowed such dangerous opponents to live and escape but hopefully he'll begin to learn better.

I hadn't thought about that. Maybe they are just tearing Nick apart. Glen didnt seem to be in pain. He really just seemed to be gathering his wits about him. Lets hope. Glen and Darryl are the main reasons I watch the show.

Um, he absolutely did look to be in pain, and there are shots of his chest that the zombies are tearing at, no Nick anywhere in sight. He's dead.

no Nick anywhere in sight.
Exactly, they fell together yet Nick is nowhere to be seen. Nick could be on top of Glen, covering Glen's body and all we see is Glen's face.
I think Glen is dead. Otherwise it's a nasty tease.
That said: on Talking Dead, the writer/producer sent a note saying "You will be seeing Glen again in some form"...meaning a zombie?

The Walking Dead spoiler's thread
The title should have given you some clues.
Yes, it is spelled SPOILERS! There is no apostrophye in a plural form - it only exists in the possessive Singular.
Glenn. Has to be dead.
At first it seemed they were going to a very unlikely survival with him being under the idiot's body and getting covered in gore as the other guy is eaten but considering the camera angles they shift to and the sheer amount of walkers around him... it would be stupid if they did that. I could see it protecting him for perhaps 5 minutes (though with his face sticking out...) but no rescue seems to be forthcoming. The walkers aren't going anywhere until they've eaten through the other guy to Glen (plus- his face is right there).
Kind of lame for him to go like that though, I was wondering why he didn't go up the fire escape either.
I was kind of confused about everything that was going on this episode. So...the horn took a large chunk of the horde away from the road, a bunch of civilians had been hiding in the woods watching them go (why? surely after building the fence they weren't needed anymore).
And...everyone completely fucks up getting away from the zombies. How?
The whole situation seems bizzarely set up to cause the maximum amount of red shirt deaths (and take down Glen too).
Rick... he shouldn't be in danger. But...the people he killed outside with the gun- were they kids? It was hard to get a good look. They certainly seemed quite small. He seems to be having issues over that.
I wonder whats up with his hand. Killing Glen would be one thing but killing Rick would just mess up the show.
Especially since we're running out of characters its easy to put a name to now.
So far when a member of the group dies, the actor/actress is on the Talking Dead that follows the episode. Yuen wasn't on that show. Imo, he's not 100% dead. Probably will be our Zombified. Plus they kept imphasing Glenn is wearing Maggie's dad watch.
I guess the show will finally modify Rick like the comic did.
I dunno...it seems that when zombies successfully eat someone, there isn't much left to become a zombie.
This zombie virus is ultimately self-defeating.
Show is racist if the only Asian dies.

Isn't everyone infected though? So it seems as long as humans exist/breed there will be new zombies. I am not sure if it passes from mothers to infants, but I assume it does.
Don't zombies continue to decay? I assume at some point (10 years? 20 years?) the bodies would have decayed so much that the initial zombie horde would no longer be a great threat.

Zombies are shit.
Most of the time they don't successfully overwhelm and eat someone, they just manage to bite them before they get away.
Though yes. Traditional zombies stand little chance of overthrowing civilization even with people collectively acting dumb.
It seems likely that in the walking dead world it's just the us like that. Sean of the Dead is set in the same universe. :p
Somebody somewhere claimed the zombies in Walking Dead are a metaphor to life in general: it is not that hard to avoid or overcome the difficulties presented, but they are ever-present, and one day you will let your guard down, or run out of luck, and you are fucked.

basically, get out of the big cities, build in the desert or mountains, clear trees to get a clear line of vision and build high walls. Organize supply raids in groups, extend walls as needed to build farms and cultivate your own food, kill zombies as they appear.
But, as we learn, the real dangers ain't the zombies, it's what the people do once there's no authority.

Yep, that seems the biggest factor. The walkers/zombies, though deadly, are often more like a side issue or nuisance to work around, except of course when they herd up.

Sure, the world can be a dangerous place from time to time but that is the exception rather than the rule. Like Tamas said, a number of observers have commented that the zombie apocalypse is a good metaphor for all the dangers we face. Sometimes Life Bites. :D but most of the time the danger is in the background.

More "evidence" that Glenn survives. (note: link may have comics spoilers)
http://io9.com/the-walking-deads-latest-mystery-may-already-have-been-1738856384
interesting, but I don't see the video they're talking about that purports to show picture of Glenn in future episode.
http://www.etonline.com/news/171976_exclusive_has_the_walking_dead_cast_paul_jesus_monroe_see_first_look_photos_from_set/
But it appears to be a behind the scenes photo. It could be they were just filming scenes for an episode with Glenn in the same place as an episode without him.
But...it does all seem rather suspicious that there's such a big mystery around it. Makes me suspect he may well be back- somebody comes running in to save him from the horde right after we left the scene?
The whisperers...
to be honest I'm find with Glenn dying now. I think that having him miraculously survive a horde of zombies may cheapen it all. Since the little girl died coming out of the tool shed, I've gotten used to the idea that main characters die on The Walking Dead, that's always been its appeal.

It was called "shell-shock" then. Or treated as cowardice, hence why many got shot/hanged by their own troops.
but even in modern war, where PTSD is diagnosed, the majority of soldiers don't come back with PTSD. That does not make it overrated, imho. It's like saying "malaria is overrated, most of our soldiers in WWII died from ennemy bullets, not some silly microbe". Yet, we vaccinate soldiers against all kind of diseases for the places they are sent to.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
In his defense, the term "PTSD" gets thrown around quite a bit to describe a wide variety of combat related mental illness. Everything from conversion disorders to brain damage. When you see people with very severe problems in the news they often use "PTSD" to describe it when it's actually something far more serious like psychosis. Not to say it "PTSD" isn't bad, flashbacks are not fun, but it's not the same as having the irresistible compulsion to kill everyone you meet.

Right. Forgot about this thread.
Yes, I was quite impressed. Brilliant acting by both. Well staged. Found it quite gripping. An Emmy winner for sure. (Or Grammy, whatever they give out TV awards for)
Great episode. I wasn't expecting a full 90 mins on Morgan but found it an interesting change of pace and also a much needed backstory on Morgan.
It was a very good episode. But I think their timing of showing this standalone bit was poor. We were all waiting to see what was going happened to Rick. I really don't care much about Morgan's backstory now. It would have been a lot better if we had seen that earlier in the season.
Maybe CC. But it was probably a matter of pacing the story. It's only 4 episodes in? If they did it earlier, people would whine that there's not enough action. I guess they wanted to start off quickly. Where would you have thrown it in? It had to be after the wolf attack, IMO, because it adds mystery to Morgan's character. Why is he using a javelin pole and not a gun? It could have replaced episode 3, perhaps, but that would have been problematic because episodes 2 and 3 were happening at the same time.

The question of using the pole rather than all of the guns he once had was introduced when Moran first encountered the Wolves - remember the scene where he fights them off in the forest, puts them in a car and leaves them without killing them. The way they wrote the episodes doesn't allow it to be fit in anywhere particularly well. That really goes to my point that as a stand alone episode it was great but in the flow of this series it was awkward since it just delayed the telling the of the story the audience was anxious to hear.
:hmm: TWD delaying the answer of a cliffhanger for another week? Nah, never would happen. :rolleyes:
Well yeah. That's the point. They turned what was an excellent episode into mere filler to delay the story line we really wanted to see answered.

Within a key period, a large part of the population would not be able to deal with the fact that the dead are rising up and eating the living. And then after that there'd be PTSD to deal with. IDK what would happen. Neither would you.
I often think how I would survive in that world. Join a group and go on a long walk ,a la TWD, or would I hole up in an apartment with as much food as i can loot hope for the best. I think I'd hole myself up.

You'll probably change your mind after a few months or years of isolation.
I think people would try to band with others who are a net asset to survival and try to ditch those who are a net liability. So much like high school.

Well, realistically, his holed-up-in-an-apartment food would last a few weeks tops. Even less time if one assumes the water system to apartment blocks effectively shuts down.

Scary is the way I would describe it. I am not sure the good hearted Carol is actually still in there. Part of what makes the character great in this series.
Agreed on that. I'm waiting to see what her character becomes. She could certainly become more scary, or perhaps continue to be a strong member of the group. So far a tough minded person, and one who is able to play the sweet home maker and ingratiating herself with everyone, mainly as a ploy to keep a watch on things and others. She has certainly shown her tough resourcefulness a number of times before Alexandria, such as at Terminus where she smeared Walker blood on her to mingle with the Walkers, then get close enough to blow up a fuel tank at Terminus to help the group escape. Scary or unpredictable in how she killed a couple of sick people back at the prison.

Early in the shows (first season maybe) when we first meet Michone (when she rescued Andrea) she traveled with two zombies she pulled along with chains. They had their arms and lower jaws ripped off as apparently when they can't eat they become docile, don't attack and aren't really dangerous. Later in the series someone else briefly did the same thing, I forget who. If I remember right, Michone would later say that those two were her ex-husband and his friend or something, and that they had failed her in some way, maybe ran off and didn't protect her baby from walkers. When they died and turned she used them as walker shields. Not sure how they died, I assume they got sick, don't think or know if Michone killed them.
Boring, filler/talky episode.
There were a couple times in that tunnel, Maggie's English accent really came to the fore. She's done a good job of hiding it up to this point, but if you listen you'll really notice it in this episode.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Also, a bit of a let down to see Rick simply running down the road without any explanation of how he got that far.
Next week we will learn if Daryl&co all survive the trip. We will see if Michonne gets back in town, maybe. Then we will go back to Alexandria to see these walls buckle under the massive weight of all those walkers. Then the black sniper girl in the tower will valiantly snipe a hundred walkers until they swarm the base of that tower and make it crash on the ground killing her shortly after.
Also, about Glenn, getting himself splattered by Nicholas blood would not do much to protect him from the zombies. You need zombie blood, but Nicholas was still human, he hadn't turn yet.
Oh, and why do they insist on using small knives instead of long spears?
It was an OK episode. Two things that bothered me:
1) Why would Rick lead that horde to the community? (other than it was in the script). 2) No Carol in this episode :(.
I don't think he led them there. They were heading there, he was running from them.

#1, as seen in the episode where rick is trapped in his truck with a horde of walkers coming at him, they were directly heading for Alexandria. At this point, there is nothing a guy running can do to divert them from anywhere.
Interestingly, to me, the father in law of the actor who plays Rick is this guy:

I think it's been established in zombie lore since... Night of the living dead, maybe? That you need to destroy the brain to kill a zombie.
And apparently, "destroy the brain" means piercing it anywhere or smashing it. So, anything that pierces the brain anywhere will do.
Why? I don't know.
Which part of the body should decompose first in a sewer, the brain or the heart, I don't know.
Also, I do not know how a virus that kills the host could maintain control over the entire body by simply residing in the brain, and how it could actively nourrish itself by being isolated from all other parts of the body.

Yeah, they kinda tried to explain it in S1 at the CDC by implying that the zombie virus kinda "jump started" the very basic, bare minimum survival function of the human brain (e.g. eat to live). Which still doesn't explain overall zombie-rot...but naturally, fantasy has to kick in at some point.

More suspense as the next week's previews show Daryl being injured. On this week's show they hadn't heard from Sasha and Benjamin. Michone had already gotten back though, three of them, and the wounded guy is in the clinic being treated. He was the one the medical tech was trying to figure out how to treat.
As for spear or knife, I often wonder about this too. For me, I'd want a long weapon so I don't have to get in close with more risk of getting bitten. But I think for one thing that they can keep a knife in a sheath where with a spear they'd need to keep it in hand, or I guess they could make a sheath for it like Michone with her sword.

Well, having a knife on you while you walk the streets of Alexandria, I get it. But when you go out on a supply run, imho, it's more practical to have a spear. But I suppose it's easier to have actors use a knife than train them to use a spear. And it likely reduces risks of injuries when they fight real people instead of a special effect doll.
I was thinking about the spear thing yesterday too.
When it comes to going out scavenging I'm not so sure which is best but for e.g. zombies at the fence, a spear would be much better

The series has moved off of the original premise which was that even scratch could cause a living person to turn. Remember back when they used to put on body armour if they were going to engage in close combat with the Walkers. Once the only risk became being bitten by very slow moving creatures knives became more viable.

Don't forget it's death that causes you to turn, not a scratch, nor a bite. The bite, I imagine, causes infection which causes you to die.
So a new character is announced:

That is not how it worked early in the series. A person did not need to die to be turned. A scratch would could do it. But that fell away after, iirc, season 1. The zombies were too dangerous to tell the story I guess.

Yes, my original thought re: cc was: maybe it was after the 'everybody is infected' revelation that they toned down this stuff?
Before they were treating it is an infectious disease so being very cautious.
Though I'm sure I can remember several major armour incidents at the prison so that's not right.
Certainly though agreed that scratches don't seem to be a big deal these days. Though bites certainly mean instant death for some reason.
Well body armour would still be a must if going out into the hordes; best way to prevent being bitten, no?

ah, I thought about that too.
In the Walking Dead universe, initially people get sick, they die, they transform into zombies. It seems to happen to a small percentage of the population though, if we look at Fear the Walking Dead, maybe 10-20% of the pop, max, or otherwise, some areas maybe worst than others.
Than what happens is people don't know how to react yet, so zombies attack them and bite them, the victim flees to avoid being devoured but end up becoming a zombie.
Then, there are all the people who would die without medical support, something that tends to happen when society collapses. They turn into zombies, they bite other people.
By the end of the first week, you could easily have 80%+ of the population in a big city transformed into zombies.

Yes, they always needed to die first. The blond girl that died with the governor had a sister who got bitten by a zombie. She eventually passed away and near immediatly resurrected as a zombie.

I'm presuming that those other peeps are from Negan's group.

There were some short scenes with her being concerned about him not returning iirc.
I thought last show was all about him going through some kind of existential crisis and wanting to just stay put but he got over that. It wasn't about him deciding that he wanted one woman over another. More like a "love the one you're with" vibe.

Well, it does create a build up for a plot point from the comics...[spoiler]where Ford has an affair with another women (who apparently is already dead in the TV series...one of the Alexandrians killed a couple episodes ago) that leads to him and Rosita breaking up...so I am guessing they're just going to be trading out the no-name girl with an already establish character.[/spoiler]

I found myself snoozing through a lot of that dialogue...why was it implied they stopped fucking? Or more seriously, were they fucking? We saw them do it once, but I never took them for an item.
There were some short scenes with her being concerned about him not returning iirc.
I thought last show was all about him going through some kind of existential crisis and wanting to just stay put but he got over that. It wasn't about him deciding that he wanted one woman over another. More like a "love the one you're with" vibe.
I'd say he dies somewhere in the next 2 episodes.
Well that was a dull episode.
Daryll is going soft?
Soldier guy wants to die?
Watching this live is a different experience. So many ads, its almost like football.
Next week will be action packed awesomeness.
Shane, Jr. gonna get Carl?

Shane, Jr. gonna get Carl?
That plot line is a stupid distraction...the show doesn't need stupid teenage jealousy/angst. Though by around this time, in the comic at least, Carl...[spoiler] is supposed to have one of his eyes shot out...maybe that punk will do it. Then we'll get eyepatch-Carl for a while.[/spoiler]
Oh, and yesterday I forgot to gloat. I was right! :P

This is fucking bullshit. I dealt with 3 seasons worth of TWD spoilers on the TV/Movie thread. Fuck you all assholes! :mad:
Yes, I'm pissed. Either they killed Glen in a stupid way by a hated character OR he somehow rolled under the trash bin and the walkers had been tearing apart Nick just so that the show can play with my feelings and leave me hanging for two weeks (next week is a 90 minute Morgan flashback episode it seems).
Fuck y'all again. Assholes.
You were also wrong. It was four weeks. :P

I know, those assholes. :mad:
The Glenn escaping story line could have been done better. What they did mostly works for me as I like Glen (and all of Rick's group) but it was a bit over the top writing. First it showed him falling with his head away from the dumpster, and so many walkers that you'd have to think he'd get bitten even with Nicholas on top of him. They needed to have something else to make it more believable, not sure what. Maybe something else on the ground blocking at leat some of the walkers on one side from getting at him while he slid away.
I think most of us figured that he'd be able to get away while they chopped up Nick. But I agree it was a bit unbelievable. Too many of them to really get away unscathed.
One part I liked is when he found the open window off the alley and he paused and gave his head a shake.
Ok. What the hell happened with Glenn. I've watched it a bunch of times and...how did he get away there? Surely he was pinned by all those bodies. ...

Wortless crap.
That chinese guy survived.
Now he is going back to effing the hot jewish girl.
At least he didn't touch the super hottie with the JSS (jewish sex sucks) thing.
I can't believe Rick doesn't see a threat in the wife beater kid. I can see that trouble coming from a mile away.
Right now the bigestest threats to Rick's Raiders are:
1- Morgan and his refusal to kill and hiding that asshole in the basement. Major ideological difference with Rick. This will only end bad. After someone has died.
2- Wife beater kid. The son of the asshole you kill will always try to kill yours.
3- General stupidity. Someone is going to do something stupid. You can't fix stupid.

AMC sure does seem to have lots of those. I watched almost all the episodes (save the last 2, actually) on demand & the live pacing is so different.

I agree. One thing I was wondering about regarding casting. The walkers have been around for about two years or more. The town had food but was rationing and now there are two overweight people in the main cast - the fraudulent egg head and the pseudo doctor. Are they overweight in the comics as well?
I always watch TWD about a half hour late, that way I skip all the commercials.

Yeah, but at least it was understandable that he started out being fat. Hard to explain that this far into the apocalypse.
I'm kind of relieved they didn't end the series on a cliff hanger. Does look like they were set for the sheltered kid saying mom to turn the zombies on them followed by fade to black.
I have to find issue with their plan here. Taking the kids with them too? Wouldn't it be better for some of the fit people only to leave and draw the attention of the zombies away from that house?

They wouldn't have been able to draw all the zombies away, so there'd be fewer defenders in an unsecured house.

none of the characters have lost weight, so it's not significant. I'm pretty sure the lesbian cop gained some weight too.
Living in a city like that, with walls and gates, it's probably the best way to gain some weight.

Yeah, I didn't understand why they all had to leave. The only danger was running out of food and water. Something that could be solved if Rick took a small group to draw the herd away. That after all was the plan that started this season off.

They seriously needed to speak to that young kid to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. I can see why they all left but it's seriously unnerving for those "rookies" to walk through an army of walkers.

Beth, maybe. Close call.
Rosita, who's that?

Not sure. Herd was in the house. Would take them a while to formulate a plan to draw that many away. I think the house wasn't safe anymore.

they can't stay, they are overrun by zombies inside the house, thanks to the stupid teenage kid that tried to kill Carl. It's only a matter of time before they can climb the stairs, and even if they couldn't, there is no food and no water over there.

Well, the thing with fire is, it's pretty hard to control. You light it, you try to create a path to were you want it to go, but then the wind comes and the fire shifts. Or there's rain and it stops and you have a horde of zombies attracted to it nearby.
Walking Dead writers meetings typically go something like this: "So what do we do about plot thread x that we've started?" "......no idea. Lets just kill the guys involved."
Thus the kids were removed.
I imagined it's the noise the walkers are drawn to.
I also think it seems like a poor idea to have a biker gang in the apocalypse due to fuel shortages.

Not sure what your schedule is but yes AMC is live only, but like last night Walking dead was on at 5pm for first airing (sling seems to be on EST) and then rebroadcast at 8:30 and 9:30pm
I shelled out the 4$ required for AMC back in September after years of torrents. Gotta say, live broadcast is stressfull.

I know they made a big deal about it being dark and all.....but still, their plan rested on finding a zombie whose face resembled Gregory's (or whatever his name is). Bit of a stretch.
Well that was pretty cool.
Would the guards have known what the guy looks like? It strikes me those goons probably wouldn't.
Probable spoiler for future episodes:
[spoiler]had something ruined for me..... reedus I'd leaving the show. Hence daryl is going to die :([/spoiler]
I don't think so.
If they didn't know what he looked like, why go through the pains of breaking his nose.

He negotiated the "deal" with them so at least some of them knew what he looked like. But the guards probably didn't have a good idea so Rick's group only needed a rough approximation.

Probably one of my top 5 Walking Dead episodes.
So. There go the odd we are all neegan people.
Or probably not as I've heard spoilers that suggests they're a big enemy.
Wonder what they have to so with the W people.
At first I thought carol was putting on her weak act so they'd drop their guard but....it seems she did go soft somehow?
I don't think Negan is related to Wolves. I don't think we've seen the last of Negan, becuase it's no secret they cast someone as Negan and we haven't seen him yet.

Was justing reading the comic wiki, and from that, it seems Abraham in that universe was the one who takes the arrow to the head.
Maybe he will be the one killed instead of Glenn. It kinda works...start a love interest with Sasha to get the fire kindled, then have him taken out.

Nope
BCS had a couple episodes that don't require login, but TWD is popular enough to not need to do that (to log in and watch, you need to have a cable service that carries AMC anyway).
My alternative has been to prop up Bezos by shelling out the cash to Amazon. I figure it's not really all that pricey. It'd make more sense if I dumped my cable TV though. :P

When that happened my daughter and other jumped out of their seat. I said well that will leave a mark. :lol:
Another good, thoughtful episode. Daryl and Carol's brief 30-second exchange at the beginning ended up being the entire episode (and series?). Very memorable.
I'd be shocked if Daryll dies. I know the rumours, but that's probably intentional red herring.
Carol perhaps. She's a popular character, but if she leaves the group again, then maybe her storyline is over.
My picks:
1. Carol
2. Abraham
3. Glenn

They should give her one good eye to Carl
Abraham has been on course for death for a while.
Would be funny if he is the last one standing
With Carol leaving the colony and the group going out to look for her in what appears will be various small groups, I expect some of them will be hard pressed by roving bands of Neganites searching for them after the attack on that one Negan compound.
Silly Carol. I can understand her having a change of mindset after all the killing and wanting to leave to avoid more killing to defend her friends, but on her own she'll have to kill just to survive. I love her character though.
Anyhow, with a couple of episodes left I expect there will be a cliffhanger at the season finale and I also expect one of the group to be killed. No idea who though.
Odds on it being Daryll just went up. I think it's definately going to be him or Carol. Glenn still a good bet.
I think that was a shoulder shot. Now next week he may not survive the full 90 minutes of the season finale.
Or worst, they show him "possibly" dying and make us wait a few months to find out. <_<
Darryl might die, not positive he's Lucille victim tho.

Yeah, I think it was a wound, as we heard Dwight say something like "it's not that bad". So I'm thinking that Daryl won't be the one killed off in the finale since he's already been hit which is his shock to viewers/fans. I agree that it's possible that we won't find out his fate until the next season.
So.....that guy who stole darylls bike last series.....
If hes part of the bigger bad guy group . .. Who was it chasing him at the time?
Also not sure I get what's going on with Carol. She's going crazy? Having doubts about her new found bad assery?
One immersion breaker in the series.... I find it bizzare how they continue to find recently killed off groups.

The saviors aka bigger bad guy group. He was trying to leave them in the episode Daryl met them in the forest.
Are there two enemy groups? (3? Saviours, Ws, Neegan)
As he seems to be pretty high ranked with them now, leading that war party.
I think Saviours are led by Neagan
I want to see a main character die of strep throat or diarrhea.
Quote from: lustindarkness on February 16, 2016, 09:44:00 AM
I wonder if the RPG impacting surface water on the pond would really detonate? :unsure: Maybe we can test this, anyone have a pool we can test this in? Oh yeah, and an RPG launcher?
No. It doesn't.
Reason is rockets accelerate incrementally. They come out at a slower speed and then pick up, thus not fast enough to detonate on water at the range depicted in the show.
Even worst, the explosion in which the biker gang goes belly up is completely off. There is no way any type of known RPG round can detonate in a surface explosion covering that much area. If it was an HE round it would explode with a kill radius of 10 meters and a fragmentation maximum of 150 meters, which would definitively not do what happened in the show. And an AP round would just make a little hole on the asphalt with the bikers looking at each other.
More importantly, RPG7 rounds do not have proximity fuse, so they would actually have to impact the target to detonate. Due to the target being motorcycles, my money would be on the round just flying between the bikes and going off on the distance.
By the way, when the RPG7 round detonates when shooting at a low flying rotary wing aircraft, it is not a proximity fuse, but the maximum range self detonation fuse, which goes off after 4.5 seconds of flight, between 920 and 1100 meters, depending on the round.
Anyway.

They had the mystery disease in the prison.
It's certainly getting more brutal and cold with every season.
To the point where I tend to side with Morgan rather than Rick.
The hype is over 9000!
I hate The Walking Dead writers, producers, etc, each and every last one of them.
Looks like we'll be speculating for a while yet. :lol:
I went and read the Walking Dead comic wiki to see who Negan clubs to death, because that was such a cheap gimmick.
It's pretty much all this show has left at this point though.
Fuck that ending.
I understand that the network likes to generate buzz wroth these cliffhangers, bit all they generate is hate from the fans. Such a great scene, a great episodes really, to ruin it in the end? It felt cheap.

good critique of last night's show here:
http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/walking-dead-season-finale-swings-misses-234745
1: Well that's an anti-climax on Daryll being shot. Though I'm relieved to see an outcome- at first it looked like they were going on end the episode on everyone being surrounded, then I noticed we hadn't reached the end yet.
2: In the US hunting shops typically carry night vision goggles right? Just realised I haven't seen a single pair on the show. :hmm:
3: Horse riding neo-knights? That was cool.
4: Typical stupid villains. All that fuss and right when they have our guys they don't kill them all.
5: Dumb cliffhanger. I wonder if they left it vague who gets beaten just so they can save some money on contract renegotiations. "Play ball or you're it!"
At least they didn't just kill one of the no-name characters; black chick no 2. and the guy from Alexandria.
Quote from: Tyr on April 04, 2016, 12:13:48 PM
4: Typical stupid villains. All that fuss and right when they have our guys they don't kill them all.
Yeah, they were making him look like a Dark Age warlord concerned about keeping enough peasants in the field. But he had the ring leaders of the group that had just killed what he described as too many of his own people. It was indeed stupid for him to keep any of them alive.
My vote for the guy that gets killed is the guy originally from Alexandria - forget his name. We didnt really see him this season and for some reason he got in the RV.
I agree with cc. It's probably him.
Or Carl.
This is what actually happens now: Carl joins forces with Negan and become his pupil. When they meet again Carl kills Rick and throws him off a catwalk.
Agree that not revealing the beat-down victim was lame.
My guess is either:
Daryl: because of the already known actor-selling-his-house-speculation, and that he does not even exist in the comic (so is expendable, even if a fan-loved character)
Abraham: because he was supposed to have died instead of Denise (per the comic). So unless they decided they liked the character enough the keep, his clock is ticking. Argument against? It doesn't feel like they've fully finished the romance angle with him and Sasha yet.
Glenn: The one who is supposed to be dead.
Wild Card: As mentioned above...based on whomever they cannot resign a contract to. Seriously...the series is reaching the point where in most, actors start shedding away due to boredom/typecast fears/money. TWD is one of those shows where, it is popular enough that if they don't pay through the nose, and multiple cast member decide to bail/demand high salary, then AMC is so screwed.
Eugene, because he said goodbye this episode and he gave Rick his bullet-making instructions which will become important next season.
Aaron, because AMC is lame and nobody will care about his death.
Or maybe they filmed it that way because Negan was finally killing the series. :P

Agreed, I should have included him. Especially as they made his character kinda lame.
Aaron? Kill the primary gay character with a baseball bat beating? Not sure AMC has the balls to do that. Plus, he is currently the primary, from-Alexandria character. They gotta keep some representation.

Could very well be Eugene.
Also, I am hating the seemingly pointless turning of Carol from a top badass to the weakest link.
The Carol storyline has been the weakest of this half season. Yes I think we're supposed to feel her guilt, that she can't cope in this world of dog-eat-dog; but it just doesn't suit her. Wasn't that long ago she took out two little girls for their final walk in the flowers. It seems an unconvincing turn and I'm just not interested.
I mean, I guess they could be playing the "she killed/burned some people, then executed a little girl, so while she was a badass, she was also basically insane" angle, and now all of that has caught up to her. But it still isn't working very well.

Agreed. The story arc of weak abused Carole turning into strong self sufficient Carole was one of the best parts of the show. It is hard to understand why they decided to make her weak again.

Agreed on that. I kind of just want the story line to be resolved, not much interest in it except that it's Carol's character which I really like. I try to understand her change of heart on things after all the killing, so there is good reasoning behind it. Just that it all happened so fast and didn't come out of a heinous event, but it was probably a culmination of all she'd done before. Remember her having to kill the young girl and prior to that at the prison she killed a couple diseased people to try and stop the spread of a serious illness. That all didn't sit well with her after a while, on top of whatever else she was feeling.
I'm just not sure where the break point game.
There was no visible time where it would be logical for her to suddenly stop being so tough and revert back to genuinely being weak.
Perhaps due to having to always fake it in Alexandria she came to like being seen that way, yearn for days goneby, etc...?
QuoteAren't these things working with batteries? You'd need to constantly find new batteries to make it work as you can't recharge them.
There should be plenty of rechargable batteries lying about (I guess the goggles will have internal ones?). Alexandria has stable power. I'm sure other groups have a generator or two.

Yeah, that's key to their MO. They're empire builders not mass murderers. They want Alexandria as one of their puppet states.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AUQWOjV6dY
I don't know.
Would empire building work that way?
I mean, killing one off at the start?
That would only work with groups that were not tight and not blood related.
If i were empire building on such an scenario, i would be torn between roman style and medieval. Due to total state of decay in which the world is, i think medieval is the way to go.
Create vassals of weaker gangs, offering protection and asking only for military aid whenever i call. Conquer some rivals, spread the wealth around, make sure no one vassal is stronger than you. Be nice to your friends and vassals, hard to your enemies, unforgiving to traitors and rebel vassals.
I don't think is rocket science. Why can't a TV show get it right?
Anyway, if by some reason i were to ask for tribute, half your shit is too punitive for empire building, no matter what's your style. I think a 3rd or less.
My point is, an "state" based on such punitive "economics" as Negans is, would be selected out by natural selection and be destroyed either internally or by outside conquest.
Which, might be the point of the show?
Nah. They are too stupid to get it right.
The last few seasons the "survivors " have made far too many mistakes than in real life would have selected them out of the gene pool by now.

I thought RPGs had HEAT warheads. No?
HEAT rounds are explosive shaped charges. They concentrate the explosion on the impact point for maximum penetration, leaving a little hole on the outside and the damage inside is by expanding amd sending fragmentation from the own tanks armor flying in all directions.
It would definitely not do the damage on the show.
I know what a HEAT round is.
That's why I asked the question. I thought RPGs were knock offs of Panzerfausts, which definitely had shaped charge warheads.
Watched the first couple episodes of the new season of FTWD.
Very "meh" so far.

I understand the need for the writers to do something different with it, rather than the same story set in L.A., but , while the strength of TWD is that it's not JUST about zombies, in this one they've pretty much removed the zombies all together. Now it's just a bunch of whining people going around from place to place encountering bad people.
It appears that Maggie (Lauren Cohan) is the one that gets bludgeoned to death. :(

And clues from a recent S7 scene that was shown.
Well, apparently two people are going to die in the first episode.
But I wonder how much these clues, including a crying actress, are red herrings?

just because its obvious does not mean its not good. like early to mid series walking dead (except for the god damn farm).
Holy shit, what an episode already.
FFS stop killing Michael Cudlitz characters. Dude needs the work.
Also not watching this season.
Maggie is a good actress afterall :lol:
An hour before finishing work I had a conversation with my coworker on who we think will die
Him: I think the moutache guy. The ginger hair one.
Me: hmm....that would be kind of a let down I think since he's suicidal anyway. I think it'll be Glenn.
What do you know. We're both right.
It seems they set it up this way intentionally that you think "oh, so I waited all that time for the guy who was going to die anyway to die?" then *poof*
At least they didn't cop out with the nobodies.
Overall....I must say I didn't like this episode. Felt like torture porn. For people who are into films like the Human Centipede. Bleh.
The most difficult thing to watch for me was the breaking of Rick.
Episode sucked. They desperately need new ideas/new writers. Fuck following the comics. Kirkman is a hack anyways.

Ok? I'm just giving my opinion, man. Acting is usually not the problem with this show. The writing is.
Don't call Negan Morgan, that's just confusing.
GoT, a show about knights and dragons and political intrigue, has pregnant women stabbed in the stomach and little girls burned alive: everyone is fine.
Walking Dead, a show about apocalypse and zombies with loads of gore, has two people get their heads bashed in: everyone loses their shit.
IMO this episode shows brilliantly the breaking of Rick and what kind of threat Negan is.

I recall plenty of outrage following certain episodes of GoT, most notably the ones graphically showing rape scenes.
Nobody is "losing their shit" over TWD's season opener. Critics are pointing out that it was gore for the sake of gore, that it was lazy, phoned in, and just plain bad writing.
Everybody knew they're not going to show a man beating a woman to death with a baseball bat. Same with the gay guy, same with the kid. They're also not going to kill Rick. So that leaves the redhead, Glenn, Eugene and fan favourite Daryl.
They picked redhead, ok I guess? Relatively new character, bah, humbug. Then they picked Glenn, which should have been dead last season during another shitty/lazy cliffhanger/surprise of an episode.
So after alienating a bunch of their viewers with that fake-out, they kill Glenn 6 episodes later, and people had to wait 6-7 months for that.
In conclusion: the writing is crap, and instead of tearing up, I burst out laughing when Glenn was babbling with his eye hanging out. Not a great send-off for a character that's been there since the 2nd episode of the whole series...
Do not agree with all you posted.
I agree with Zoupa's conclusion but not how he gets there. Not at all.

The victims were leaked months ago, that's not the point. As I posted, the head-bashing is used to establish what kind of threat Negan is. He does not fuck around, compared to, say, the Governor who did fuck all. And the scene is pretty much directly taken from the comic, so I don't see why the gore is somehow reason to complain.
I watched multiple clips on youtube.
I love Negan.
As the promo shows Negan is in charge now.

What works in a comic doesn't necessarily work in TV.
Well, yeah. That's why Rick, Carl, Michonne, Carol, Morgan & Daryl are not losing a limb anytime soon. No one wants to pay for that level of CGI.

Were they? I thought they did a pretty good job of not leaking. Even Langusih was saying Maggie just a week ago.
Sure, many people thought Glenn would die based on the comic book.
:yawn:
I wonder... was the Glenn dead/not dead stupidity earlier in the series purely a red herring for the negan incident to counteract the obvious comic evidence ?

Interesting episode, and nice change of pace after that last one.
Watched the two episodes back to back last night. I agree with the comment made here about the breaking of Rick. Great writing and better acting.
For the complainers, to paraphrase Nagen, do you even understand what just happened :P

I hope they explain someday how the Negan gang got so big they could do all this.

Yeah but in most zombie settings animals stay clear of them . They're not regular dead things.
Though if viper is right (I remember some dogs but not eating something) then fair enough
You know, it could be a very bad thing for the pigs to eat zombies- those pigs were handed over to the Saviors after all. Perhaps they were tired of paying tribute. :hmm:

Actually, I think it is to deter an attack on the homebase. Anyone who wishes to sneak on the Saviors would need to kill all the zombies first, if they ever hope of reaching the fort. And there would be excitement from the zombies, which would raise alarm at some of the guards. Kinda like a moat for a castle, makes storming the castle more difficult. I don't know if it was always like that, or if they adapted after their first confrontations with Rick's group.
So, Rick had thought of hiding some guns but didnt think about getting rid of the inventory list?

It could be that Negan's surprise visit took him off guard. Which was the point of it.
Is it just me or is this week's Walking Dead really along the lines of the current political zeitgeist?

His comic backstory is a former high school physical education/gym teacher.
Which in the context of American culture, explains his character pretty well. :P

Nah.
Still watching...this season has been kinda dragging. I know it's following the comic, but it feels like just another Governor plot line, just on a larger scale.
And as it was the season finale...
With all of its faults, at least they didn't crap out another cliffhanger this time (just a lead up to the next level of the story).
The whole exercise of bringing around the junk-pile people, only to dispose of them as turncoats seemed silly and pointless.
[spoiler][It was a fairly weak finale. I'm bothered with plots that don't make sense. Why did Negan even bother with the whole Sasha in the coffin trick? What advantage was it supposed to give him? Force Rick to give in to his demands? Um...all he had to do was say, "Rick, do this or i'll kill [anyone]." It was a very weak set up.
And yeah, the Scavengers. Why did chief Scavenger keep her gun on Rick for the whole battle? Meh...thank god for the tiger.[/spoiler]
I'm watching but Meh.
Really no getting how they just suddenly trusted these dump people.
The junk people . . . it's supposed to something be 3 years or so after Z-day? Would a whole group of adult people completely forget how to speak in sentences in such a short time period? The whole talk in a one-word sentences thing seemed very cheesy.

Yeah, I was going to mention that too. Humanity isn't far enough removed from this "apocalypse" to be that way yet. This ain't freakin' Mad Max.
Josephus, this is a spoilers thread ;)
I thought the deal with the trash people not well thought out. Rick made a deal with a group that makes no secret of the fact they are all about their own self interest (a tribe of Yi if you will); Rick gives them everything the want up front; and then expects them to live up to their end. I would have been more disappointed if they had written the ending with the tribe of Yi honouring Rick's deal because there was no reason for them to do it and stay in character.

Agreed.
Especially when I saw their actual plan, letting these people who out number them into their town.

I just figure they were just trailer trash types BEFORE the apocalypse
I think I am going to stop watching this.
last episode Rick and a number of others could have died but the episode lacked any tension or suspense. One guy did die - big emotional scene (or at least it was supposed to be I guess). Didn't even know his name. The biggest issue was whether the Savior prisoners should be killed or not. :zzz
Morales.
I read recaps, takes 5 minutes & it's way more enjoyable than just watching the show.
This is an interesting TV show about dueling bands of militia groups. It takes place in an economically depressed and deindustrialized region of present day Virginia, where apparently local budget cuts have forced disbandment of police forces, leaving the violent militias free to run rampant. The militia groups on both sides follow some sort of survivalist philosophy, growing their own food, and recycling materials from abandoned factories and gas stations. Due to lax state gun laws automatic weapons are plentiful, but because of the economic downturn there don't seem to be many well functioning hospitals or health clinics. One of the militia groups follows a Christian millenarian worldview (the "Saviours"), the other is more eclectic but for some reason abuses zoo animals. Basically it's like the Hatfields & McCoys but with more ethnic diversity.
Oh also there are some zombies around.
You're not the only one CC. This season so far has been one long drawn out battle with very little emotional impact.
The gay guy dying was supposed to be impactful, certainly they made a big deal on Talking Dead, but I was....whatever.
This season could be a big turning point for the show.
The start of the last episode with a bunch of disjointed scenes of the kingdom lot including their being ambushed.... Ugh.
And the ending too. Blahh
I am in agreement with ya'll. The first few episodes has been impressive in making gun battles tired and boring.
TWD has definitely entered that lazy/entitled phase that catches most well-performing series'.
And there is probably a good reason the best quality shows lately have been ones that practically had an end-state already in place (e.g. Breaking Bad), and not as open-ended as TWD is.
And the TWD will have, at some point, that ticking time bomb coming of a declining successful series/actor contract negotiations.
I'm still enjoying TWD. Could do without the speeches and montages of people looking determined though.
I still really enjoy TWD, one of my favorite shows. But I'm a bit mixed on this season as it's going to be all battles. That can be good, exciting and given how events have progressed it certainly makes sense. Just that it seems a bit over done for what is probably an entire season. That said, society is in an anarchist stage, different groups trying to survive and gain power and even early on the show was more about the interactions of survivors and their groups more so than the walkers. This clash is the biggest, very much dwarfing even the Governor vs the Prison.
Jesus that was one of the dumbest things I ever saw.
First random saviour guy over acting to hell.
Then the ditch of death.
King decides to randomly shout go on without me when they were in no immediate danger and could have just walked away....
Then in comes the tiger to kill itself for no good reason.
Contrived attempt to cut the special effects budget

Yeah, right. I was going to say Feudal stage but they haven't yet progressed to that.
So looks like Morgan is crossing over to Fear The Walking Dead...or as the actor calls it Fear Of The Walking Dead.
I'm a bit curious where each show is on the timeline.
They must be caught up now, if Morgan's joining the other.
Fear has gone past the collapse of civilization now?
I watched the first episode or two of that but never got into it.
Honestly Fear still feels like it should be in the first year. There haven't been any points where it feels like everyone is settled in and they can skip a few months or years.

Yeah, escape from LA was a few weeks; cruise to Mexico a matter of days; escape from what seemed to be a safe haven; a few weeks wondering about; a few weeks at the resort; then a few months with the survivalists. Add in a few more months to be generous for other miscellaneous side plots.
Ok, that (lack of a) play with the junkyard people was really dumb. Great, so Rick's a badass. He's still an idiot for walking in there alone.

Yeah that whole thing was weak. There was no reason after Rick let her go, for her to stick to her word either.
This whole season is full of stupid.
They go to great lengths to plan out the perfect attack plan; take days to execute it; the plan works; the compound is surrounded as planned; the attempt to save the compound with the speaker truck is thwarted; and then a group who knows the plan and schedule decides to freelance because they are concerned something might go wrong?
Yeah, the thing that went wrong is not sticking to the plan.

I found the truck plan out of whack too, but I tried to understand their thinking that the Saviors could do something to escape if things dragged out. But driving the truck into the building just let the walkers go in to slaughter then the Saviors could escape.
What I didn't understand or maybe I missed the pretense, but why did Rick go into the heapsters compound alone? If he wanted to bargain he should have had a few people with him and asked for a parlay outside the heapster compound in a more neutral setting.
What happened to all the snipers is my wonder. Something I missed?

I assume that once the walkers were killed inside the building, enough ot Negan's people got out and were able to kill the snipers.
This show is a pile
What was Eugene's escape plan? Did they ever say? Whatever it was it worked really well. Kinda made the first five episodes pointless.
You know how in season 2, when they escaped the farm, and mostly in season 4 when they escaped the prison, it took the group days/weeks to find each other again?
How the fuck are the Saviors able to bust out of the sanctuary, rally hundreds of soldiers even though the first 7 episodes show us how all their outposts are destroyed, and mount a 3 pronged attack, simultaneously, on all 3 communities?
How do they even know that the Hilltop group would be on that road? Why don't they at least capture or kill Maggie?
This shit makes no fucking sense. The writing has really went to shit. Oh and good thing Rick went to the trash people and spent like 3 episodes there. Then they bail in the first 5 minutes and aren't seen again. Jesus Christ what a mess. I'm not even touching the Carl dying thing, it's even dumber. Yeah guys, let's have him die from an off-screen bite to random walkers he met in the forest. Sounds like a super cool way to go out, the kid's only been with us for half his life, no biggie. Oh he just bought a house in Georgia and is applying to colleges in the area? Oh we told him at the beginning of the season we wanted him for at least another 3 years minimum? Lol yeah fuck that. Let's just kill him for the shock value. What's that you say? How can Rick go on, it'd be out of character for him not to lose his shit and go on a murdering rampage? Who cares dude. People will keep watching anyways.
AMC: "We are trying to do 20 years of the Walking Dead!"
-The Walking Dead kills Carl-
Narrator: They did not do 20 years.
Letting Maggie go doesn't make sense. Neagan specifically said he wanted Rick, The Widow and the King.
And yeah, escaping and then co-ordinating a massive three-pronged attack defies belief (in a show where I can believe dead people can walk and get hungry). But I wish they explained the escape better...maybe we'll get a flashback next episode.
There has to be something to CArl's death....I wonder if they're gonna weaponize him...but wait the writers did that with Sasha alredy.

He meant Carol no?
But yes. The whole thing is dumb. Saviours pulling extra guys out of nowhere like a video game villain
Carol wasn't a key figure in the uprising and Negan wouldn't have a clue she'd been married.
Walking Dead is getting stupid.
It always annoyed me in Fear the Walking Dead, that that one character would put on a coat of blood and merge with the herd unharmed. It had been explained in Walking Dead earlier, although they had to literally cover themselves in blood and guts to get away with it.
But now in Walking Dead the Whisperers merely have to wear a Zombie Halloween mask and get away with it. Seems to me like they've found a good loophole. All living humans should carry Zombie masks in their pockets in case of Zombie attack. Problem solved.

They said something about having their scent on them. Presumably, they cover themselves in blood, don't wash, and the mask is the extra when the herd comes to you.
They whisper, they smell like them, they look like them, they walk like them. I think it's a combination of everything.
But yeah, lots of it doesn't make much sense.

When they were in their camp they were all clean (ie not smeared in blood). The only thing they did with the dead attacked the camp was put on their masks and start walking like the dead. The most silly part was when they were returning with the daughter back to their camp, she was completely clean and had no mask, but she still walked along like she was one of the dead.
The dead are not even dangerous anymore. They are more of a nuisance.

that's when she said something about scent. or they did. Like walking close to them, she was covered by their scent.
Even if they don't appear covered in blood, something could be left of it. There's no stream to wash themselves near there. And walkers don't seem to attack living animals that make no noise.
I don't even know how they could put on walkers mask and not be infected by residual blood. IIRC, Rick&co covered themselves with raincoats before applying blood and made sure there were no wounds.
I Don't really know and I don't really care. "Rules" seems to change every year or so. It's still a good show, but I miss Rick and Neagan. Mostly Neagan. Best villain ever.
There always seems to be some group, often and odd one, that shows up. But I guess these Whisperers are in the comic books, and the show follows the comics to some extent. It's not so out of whack though, as people who have little contact with others could digress into any kind of grouping and way of life to survive. But yeah, they do seem to be following too strange a way of living to be sensible for long term survivable. Alpha and Beta have them severely cowed and it probably wasn't so hard to do at first with very desperate people. Probably something like how Neegan welded his group and power together.

Yeah but that's bull shit and has never been the case before. You couldn't just walk among them and assume you were covered by their scent. If you remember, earlier, they pretty much had to cover themselves head to toe in blood and guts, and even then it wasn't guaranteed. Remember the episode where Carl lost an eye, I think; the other kid who was so covered in blood and guts, but let out a small whimper and that was enough for the herd to turn on him.
They're bending the rules of the universe too much.

yeah Rick's missed. I think that's the other issue I'm having. One of the appeals was the characters on the show, and watching them survive against the odds. But now there's a lot of new people I'm not as invested in anymore. It's only Carol and Daryll from the original crew left, I believe.

Rick is missed but I think the show was moving beyond his character, changing, not sure. His going was a shocker but his work as leader was changing so much. However one thing that gets me is that they kill off some excellent and well liked fan favorites, such as Jesus. He had a much shorter time than Rick and was just coming into his own. That came as a big surprise as he was one of the main leaders, especially after Rick was gone. That all said though, the show is and will remain a huge favorite with me.
Zombie flicks have never been about zombies - it's always been social commentary of some kind. That's Romero's legacy and Walking Dead is very much in the Romero tradition even if the premise is built a bit differently. The problem with this whispering plot is not that it messes up the internal consistency of the lore, it's just not a very compelling plot line.
Also it's appears that the crossbow totin' mountain man guy - who IIRC is not in the comics - is filling the Rick role while the blacksmith kid is filling in for Carl. Always smart for a TV show to build in extra characters like that.

He wasn't happy with his character being so underdeveloped and underused.
I didn't realize Maggie had left, though I knew she had "gone on a journey" or something. Jesus seemed to be finally coming into his own, the character doing well, having room to expand. It's curious that he still felt underused.

Yeah, I saw that she's on another show "Whiskey Cavalier".
Never fuck with the Jesus.
WTF with this latest episode. :huh:
It was awful.
It was awful in a good way.
Look at the flowers Lizzie.
Tough, rugged episode but in this dystopian world very little surprises me anymore. One of the producers, Denise Huth, was on the Talking Dead show right after the episode. She explained how they chose to show as little as possible of the kids being killed.
Michonne suffered a huge betrayal by a good friend from the pre-dead world. We saw what that friend did with those kids, how she trained them to be so nasty. We finally see the reason Michonne didn't want to allow any new people into Alexandria, wanted to keep separate from the other villages. But it looks like now she's coming out of it, changing her outlook on things.
It was good. Great acting from Michonne's and Judith's actors (the latter may be one of the best child actors around at the moment).
Quote from: viper37 on March 18, 2019, 07:46:37 AM

It was filling in some of the gap of what occurred between the two seasons and explained why Michonne was turning into, but thankfully turned away from becoming, an isolationist dictator. There were several time shifts that occurred which may have been confusing but I thought it was one of the better episodes they have had recently.

It was a necessary episode to explain why Michone and Daryll, but especially Michone, are the way they are.And yes, that little girl sure can act. If she were a stock I'd invest heavily in her.

They certainly like to cull the cast off this show don't they.
An unexpected ending to an otherwise terrible, and extremely unbelievable episode.
I know, I know, it's a show about dead people that walk and chew on living people. I'm supposed to throw believability out the window but...
... are we expected to believe that Alpha skinned that young pretty woman, put her face on her own seamlessly and was able to get away with it. Seriously? What did she do? Perform a skin graft?
Come on.
She didnt put her face on. She put her hair on, because Alpha is bald and would easily be recognized.
edit: as for the cast culling - yeah, lets just casually kill off a bunch of characters we spent a few seasons developing because, you know, pay roll.
I don't mind the culling.
I don't mind Alpha wearing a wig.
I do mind how they are going to eliminate that threat.
One episode left, I guess it will be resolved next year.
yeah, I take my rant back.
I thought she put the face on; but it was just the hair. I stand corrected. :blush:

thing is since the big shocking deaths of...um, Japanese guy and red hair, I'm no longer shocked by deaths. Partly because i'm no longer invested in the characters. I mean, really, they were all supporting characters except for the one. (Sorry, I suck at remembering names.) And, of course, we've become desensitized.
REally the only characters I'm vested in are CArol and Daryll.

Same. i want to see bad ass Carol back though. Domestic bliss does not fit too well with her story arc.

she did put a few guys on fire in the first episode of this season.
Yeah she put a few guys on fire cause they threatened her son. Imagine what she's gonna do now ...

according to the preview, they will finally have a winter and will move into the bad guys territory.

yeah she was the only character i'll miss; but they've been using her very sparingly of late.
seems there wasn't much thought placed on who was going to die.

I think this is gonna be my last season.
Aaaaargh....this show has become irritating.
I've said this before. The writers introduced a thing several seasons ago where covering yourself in some zombie blood can act as a deterrent to zombie bites...kinda like mosquito repellant.
The characters know this. But often refuse to consider this.
If I'm trapped in a cave with a million zombies, and am looking for a way out. First thing to do. Put on some zombie blood. Will make the whole experience easier.
Also, [spoiler]they killed off only two remaining eye candies.[/spoiler]
this is used to be a very busy thread every Sunday nights... Oh how the mighty have fallen...
So, Maggie's dead? Or she never came back?

It was a great show. It has fallen fast and quickly.
We no longer care about the characters. When Glen and Abraham died we drowned in our sorrows. Now we don't care. The core of the cast is gone. Only Daryl and Carol remain from the originals. (Daryl wasn't even an original). Michone is allegedly leaving this year too. We got introduced to a whole bunch of new characters...but none seem interesting. At end of previous season when a whole bunch of them got their heads spiked, I was like "who were they again?"
They move from one BadAss guy to another. Governor, Neegan, Alpha, but all seem carbon copies of the other, with slight modifications.
It's run its course
Neegan actually made the case to Alpha that he had been just like her. I caught that scene while flicking through the episode to see if there was anything interesting. Nope. They killed off the two that had the potential of becoming interesting characters. Even Daryl and Carol have become bland. I don't even know the names of most of the characters on the show now - not the actors' names, the characters' names.
well...looks like the final episode is still in editing phase and won't be completed. So the season won't end for a while. Also, April spinoff has been delayed.
