Walking Dead Season 8 - Unmarked spoilers for aired eps in thread [Archive] - Page 3

Over the last 3 or so months I've watched from Season 1 all the way to where it currently is, mid way through Season 5. Finally got to browse the whole thread

Even though the show can be fairly hit and miss, I've gotten so obsessed with it! Season 1 is certainly my favourite, and I'd even say the first ever episode could possibly be my favourite episode of them all. Each season has had its good points (some less than others), but I don't think any of them top the first yet.

I'm surprised that the first half of Season 4 didn't get more hate in the thread, it was hands down the stupidest part of TWD thus far, and I'm so glad that since then the show has been pretty much uphill, and I'd say it's currently the best it's been in a long while.

As for favourite characters - Rick (obviously), Daryl (obviously), I did really like Glenn in Season 1, but my god his character has gotten so bad, both him and Maggie with this ott l-o-v-e they have going on. It was laughable when she was so obsessed with finding Glenn on the way to Terminus, and never once mentioned her sister.
Carl is hit and miss for me, seems to depend on the episode, Carol has had some awesome character growth throughout the show and is certainly one of my favourites now.

Also, I just finished Season 1 of TWD game by Telltale. Man, that was better than 99% of the actual show.

Really hard to condense my thoughts on all five seasons and the game in one post!

Fun news for some people, direct tv is doing an Internet service subscription much like Hulu where you will be able to watch a lot of cable channels for only $20 a month. I swear I'm not sponsoring them. :shifty:

So you'll get to watch Walking Dead a lot more easily. Unless of course they decide not to include AMC in the subscription service.

All of my tears. The only thing that would've made this episode harder to bear would've been if Hershel's head showed up in Tyreese's feverdream.

And POOR SASHA. That's all I can think now is poor Sasha. I'm going to a comic convention next month where Sonequa Martin-Green will be a guest and I might just bring her a sympathy card.

And also foreshadowing. D: So many of my friends are dead and so many are gonna die. I hate this show and I love this show.

I really enjoy that they showed us a scene out of context in the beginning. We randomly see blood spill on a picture and only later figure it out. This is something we haven't really seen since season 2 ie when Shane shaves his head in the fogged up mirror and we don't really get it until later in the episode.

There have been good episodes of this show and bad episodes. Even with the bad ones, I felt that it wasn't a complete waste of time.

This episode was a complete waste of time.

02-10-2015, 08:23 AM

If I'm honest, I didn't really enjoy the whole Tyreese dream sequence. I don't know, bring dead characters back in dreams really grates on me for some reason. I thought the twist on the funeral (which you assumed was for Beth) was great though.

Overall, not one of my favourites. Other than Noah being upset about his home being overrun, not a lot happens really. It was almost like the writers thought "OK, so we're gonna kill off another character. Let's just waste an entire episode building it up with dream sequences and flashbacks."

I'm sure next weeks will be better.

Masamunemaster

02-11-2015, 08:13 AM

The only thing I could hope for was someone asking Noah if it was worth the fit. Every time someone throws a tantrum somebody gets hurt.

I think the way they are going is killing off all the "light", or hopeful people, so that end the end everyone is dead.

Crop

02-11-2015, 06:34 PM

Not a good start for me, but I think that's just because I was never a fan of Tyreese, as much as I wanted to be. I can see why others would have liked the episode. The only part I didn't like was the credits coming up while hearing the soil being shovelled, I thought that was a little over the top.

I think next week will be great though, I saw a few references to 'wolves' or something, guess they could be the next antagonists. Comic book spoilers behind tags remember, just in case!

The. Best. smurfing. Show. On. Television.

From this point forward I'll be sharing my results from the walking dead story sync. I got Carol this episode. I'm definitely in favor of talking to people heading to dangerous grounds from a walkie talkie distance.

http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead/story-sync

62596

I got Sasha. Feels for Maggie and Sasha right now. Both lost siblings very recently because of stupid Noah. ;__;

This episode was terrible, not a waste of time because there was definitely a point and set-up for it, but whoever directed it was trying too hard to make the entire episode feel dream-like. It took me away from the tone of every other episode in the series.

If they're going to kill off black guys like they normally do kill off Noah's character. Everybody Hates Noah.

In regards to the wolves...Almost every antagonists were from the comics or very similar with a few exceptions. Honestly I feel they should stick to pulling antagonists from the comics because the ones they make up or change a bit, end of being underdeveloped. Dawn was a trout character.

Tryese was one of my favorite characters but I feel like he was dumb in a Herschel way. Too pure for this type of world. Rick used to be like that but realized he had to change or he'd be jeopardizing not only his safety, but the safety of those following him. This is why I feel nothing when characters like this die because it really is inevitable. Tyrese, T-dog or whatever dumb name he had, Herschel, Beth you have to see the pattern. And if you're too bad, you will also die. Need to have a happy medium. I suspect to see more good souls dying this season...

Lone Wolf Leonhart

02-13-2015, 05:23 PM

I'm glad to see this season has really picked up the pace compared to last season. Remember when people thought we'd be spending the first 8 episodes in Terminus? I figured the road trip to Noah's place would have been at least 3 episodes. It was nice to see the old characters back and I enjoyed how surreal this episode was. Moving along nicely.

Masamunemaster

An idea I thought would be interesting would be if tyreese started attacking his illusions, and it actually ended up being Rick and the group. Kind of a new way to look at the undead.

Chad L Coleman talking about the significance of Tyreese's hallucinations.

gSYMdHvMpAE

fire_of_avalon

02-16-2015, 05:24 AM

I also interpreted his hallucinations as everything he felt guilty for doing or not doing for people who counted on him. If he hadn't trusted the Governor at all the Governor would've had less information about the prison group to work with down the line. If he had killed Martin the Terminus survivors probably wouldn't have found them and wouldn't have killed Bob. If he had paid closer attention to Lizzie's obvious mental problems Meeka might've survived.

I think Tyreese's character and his dead was really supposed to serve as a foil for Beth and a counterpoint to her death. While both characters represented hope for the future, support for their fellow group members, we saw Beth find herself in Grady Memorial. She learned who she really was, what mattered to her and what she was made of. She learned to adapt to the new world, even though she was small and young. And Tyreese was a knowledgeable, big man who by his own account listened to the news to "be a good citizen of the world," but honestly couldn't cope with the things that happened to him very well. He wasn't a weak character or a weak person - he just had a harder time coping with the violence that survivors of this world were perpetrating against each other. I think the end of the episode, when he asks them to turn the radio off, he's accepting that it's ok to die and it's ok not to struggle anymore.

One of the reasons I think people dislike this episode is because the acceptance of death is disquieting. We're hardwired to pursue, to push forward, to give everything we have in order to survive - but Tyreese was never willing give up his integrity for the sake of survival. While he does die of blood loss, his hallucinations show us he passes on his own terms. He's struggled with the good and the bad, the guilt and the relief, and he chooses (for lack of a better term) Heaven. He deems himself worth of the good and not the bad, even though he didn't save his friends or seek vengeance for Karen. That kind of introspection, even if it is at the hands of hallucination, demonstrates strength of character.

I thought last week was a good transition episode, and I thought having it lead into this week's episode that follows Maggie, Sasha and Daryl as they struggle with loss was a good idea.

Lone Wolf Leonhart

02-16-2015, 06:52 AM

Something I really enjoyed about this week's episode is that it somehow focused on three characters (Maggie, Sasha, Daryl) yet within the context of a group setting. These are people who have felt significant personal losses in the past two episodes and it's interesting to see how everyone copes in their own way.

I loved the representation of teamwork in the barn when they were barring the doors.

I don't think that clean dude is a cannibal. It seems like they are more likely to be a part of a scavenger group and are responsible for murdering the people. I also think they have the dogs or whatever hence the "Wolves". Maybe I'm reaching.

Del Murder

02-17-2015, 04:50 PM

I'm not interested in episodes where the characters 'cope' with loss. The whole damn series is one giant coping with loss. We get it, they're hungry and sad. You could have established this in 15 minutes and then got on with an actual story.

I think the clean dude is an actual good guy. Or I'm just hoping. If it's another one of those 'hey I'm a friend, just kidding I'm actually crazy and want to KILL YOU!' then this show is officially in coasting mode.

Honestly, worse thing about this show is the over use of a crickets sound effect loop. I've been to Georgia and there's no way crickets are that loud in the forest during the day and I can hear it friggin' looping because it's that loud! There are only few times where that sound isn't overbearing in the show. They need to hire another sound person.

Masamunemaster

02-19-2015, 05:02 AM

The only part of this episode that I was excited about was the barn door scene. I thought stuff was about to get exciting again, but it all died down again.

If the show does keep going as it is then there will be nothing but the constant loops. If it continues down that road it will lose a lot of viewers, and probably get cancelled soon.

Bubba

02-19-2015, 08:46 AM

It needs a proper shake-up... something new and exciting to happen!

They need to find a bunker somewhere (possibly military) maybe a few main characters die in the confusion. Then the group find out that the military are (somehow) tracking all the zombie activity in South-Eastern USA. We learn about a few military-controlled areas in certain cities. One of the sites are conducting advanced experiments on the infected and we learn a little bit about what's happened.

Either that or Carl gets Carol pregnant.

Flare in the eye walker was awesome.

It's a good thing the road they were driving on was pretty straight or else they might have taken a dive thanks to the blood splattered windshield. Maybe the wiper blades were jacked for weapons?

I appreciated the sentimental throwback to Dale's RV.

Unfortunately, I saw some homophobia in the Facebook discussions. Not a lot, though. I hope Aaron and Eric get a ton more screen time.

Is his skin seriously that perfect? Damn, I need to go to Korean saunas.

Anyway, I understand why Rick is so cautious, but I'm glad he decided to go in Alexandria. Judith needs to grow up in an environment with some kind of normalcy. She never would have had a chance if they were scavengers in the woods. Unfortunately the safety of Alexandria is probably not going to last very long. I'm also extremely certain now who the Wolves are and how they will factor in this new story arc and pose a threat to the people of Alexandria. I think I recall the L.L. Bean dude hinted at that by saying, they might be following them. Note, he said they, when he knew only one person was following him. He wasn't talking about his lover. He also called them scavengers.

02-25-2015, 01:29 PM

I hope Aaron and Eric get a ton more screen time.

I totally disagree, I do not need to see another couple in love on this show. We already have Glenn and Maggie, and they don't even handle them well. Glenn began as a fantastic character, who has slowly shrunk into bland irrelevance, and any of Maggie's characterisation seems to play second fiddle to her just being super in love with Glenn (I refer to them trying to find each other on the way to Terminus on how not to handle a couple on tv).

That and I also feel like we have too many people in the group already, if you're going to bring them in I say a few deaths need to occur. Better yet, have Eric go missing/get captured and see how that turns this sweet new Aaron to do anything to try and get him back. The Walking Dead is usually all about people doing whatever they can to survive or protect the ones they love, it just usually happens gradually. To have someone snap from one side to the other would be interesting.

All in all, I did enjoy this episode a lot and think it'll get even better, and I loved the reference to Dale and his RV, Dale was one of my favourite characters!

Shiny

02-25-2015, 10:19 PM

Maggie I think will show a lot of character development soon. I just feel like she's going through grieving over her loss of her sister so it's hard to get beyond that right now. Glenn on the other hand has been pretty irrelevant. He was the clever one now he's just kind of there. Though don't worry, I am pretty sure someone else is going to die in the 90 minute season finale otherwise that's a total waste of those extra minutes. xD There's too many characters right now to have character development. Peeps gotta get gone.

As a comic reader, it's hard for me to make a prediction without foreshadowing. This season has followed the comics really well, maybe more so than any season before it. I feel pretty confident in saying I know how the rest of the season is going to go, but the show has definitely switched up some pivotal moments in the past. With characters such as Daryl, Noah & Sasha not even existing in the books, I'm most anxious to see what's in their future as there's no blueprint.

That makes no sense considering you can hear kids playing when the gang goes up to the gate. That would mean there's definitely more than just them there, but it is weird how L.L. Bean guy doesn't have anyone in the pictures.

Things will definitely get smurfed up. I think it's pretty hinted on when they go to Everybody Hates Noah's family's place with what appeared to be murders and the grafitti, etc. All really telling that there's probably violent antagonists pretty close to where they are.

Oh man the congress ladys son is a dick and I can see that causing a ton of problems. So glad Glenn punched him. And I like how the girl who cut his hair didn't even mention a husband and he's all creepy like "my wife cut your hair" as he smokes in the darkness.

I'm glad Michonne and Rick are the cops now, maybe that'll easy some of their hesitance with the place. But come on darryl, at least act like you're okay with it so you can figure out the people around there to be better prepared when things do go to trout.

I've been an episode behind for a bit so I've been avoiding this thread but i'm all caught up and current this week.

EDIT: I've just decided that there are other people following the group. They had taken the gun and the girl who climbed the fence who was new to the town is part of that group and she went to meet with them and give them stuff as well as info.

Carl makes an interesting point about not wanting to become weak. This is a world where if you let your guard down, you're done. Despite being behind seemingly secure walls, you're still not able to relax. The other kids ask him if he wants to play video games or shoot pool and it's very off putting to him.

I remember back to season 4 when Rick is tending to his garden and he's listening to music with headphones. That's a bold move in a zombie apocalypse, to have such faith in your walls that you don't mind blocking out sound.

I imagine hearing music for the first time in a world like this would bring me to tears. You hear nothing but flesh eating moans and the concern of your friends for months or years, and then you finally get to hear a tune. Totally blissful.

I'd be down for some video games, but I think you'd almost have to force yourself to go out and look for walkers to kill so you don't lose your edge and remember your situation.

Also, I think Carol made the right move by playing possum and lying while she was being filmed, but I don't think Deanna believes her for a second.

Daryl was never acclimated with societal norms even before the apocalypse so I don't see that happening now especially after all he has been through. I don't see the people inside being much of a problem because a lot of them will probably die anyway because they're playing it too safe and they're naive.

Congress lady and L.L. Bean made the right choice bringing in what are basically their bodyguards. Eventually they'll have to get that they need to let Rick's group make the choices or they will end up dead. Glenn knows what he's talking about. They're not equals and are definitely more fit for survival.

Also Carol for president. Wolf in sheep's clothing. Daryl's "you look ridiculous." XD

03-04-2015, 01:37 AM

I think it's without question that Alexandria will get smurfed up. Not from the walkers or any other rogue human groups... it will be the group themselves that cause Alexandria's downfall.

Glen touched on it during his VT but they have been out there too long. As much as they all think they want a normal life, I don't think any of them could truly settle there.

The community is clearly a good one. Yes, Deana's son is a bit of a dick but you get dicks in every community. The only unpredictable element in the town now is the one that's just arrived.

If Carol was anyone's favourite character in season one and two, I'd question if they had even watched the show.

Good episode, although I don't like that Congresswoman (I think it's the acting more than the character though), and it was nice to see Glenn become a little more relevant again. Carol playing them was also hilarious!

The girls comic was called something like "Wolf Hunt" which was probably some sort of reference to the group outside she's very obviously with. How did she get in and out so easily without being spotted though? Makes you think if she can do it then why can't anyone from the outside. I'm also curious to know how this group has survived for so long, they don't seem to be very capable.

Shiny

Yeah, she may be a part of that wolves group or more likely was affiliated with them in some way. More likely: the two people Congress Lady exiled are a part of that group. One has to wonder why "it didn't work out". Congress Lady seems pretty legit.

I think this show seems to be doing a good job at making people believe the threat is within when it is most likely whatever is outside the walls with these wolves people that is probably the problem. Though I do find it weird how she confiscated all of their guns and only give them little guns when they go on runs. Is she trying to conserve ammo or something else?

Also did you notice that the pov of them entering the gates was as if someone were watching them? Yeah I think they are about to get a rude awakening very soon by intruders.

Also it's that time again where I have to remind everyone that another long running character will be dying this season. I have no idea who just got it from my sources. Well I do have an idea but last time I wrongly guessed Carol and it ended up being Beth, so I'm keeping my mouth shut. And Morgan is totally coming back.

But Carl needs a damn haircut. He looks like Velma.

Well eventually they're going to Washington D.C.

Hopefully it is during the spring or summer so we can keep sleeveless Daryl.

Norman Reedus is also the second highest paid on the show I beleive. They know people love him. Not that it means anything since many chatacters people loved have died. There is a lot of character development potential for him I don't think it is likely that he will be killed off this season. Michonne totally replaced him as Rick's second hand tho. :(

fire_of_avalon

03-09-2015, 04:29 AM

I don't think so. Michonne, Carol, Daryl and to a lesser extent Glenn all still advise him differently based on their experiences. Michonne is just more suited to help guide the group in Alexandria. And she wants to be inside walls again. She hung up her sword! Daryl doesn't want to stay in; walls make him uncomfortable. I think Rick wants to be on the road again too.

I think the big shebang at then end of this season won't be a huge battle... I think the group is going to split. Some will stay in Alexandria. Some will go back out on the road.

03-09-2015, 06:17 AM

I think it's safe to assume that Jessie doesn't mention having a husband because he's a drunkard or abusive. Every moment he's had with Rick so far has been confrontational in subtle ways. A lot of people are commenting on how Rick is very Shane-like this episode, swooping in on someone else's family.

Notice that the red A on their hands looks like the big red A Gareth put on the church they were hiding in to symbolize the train car they were put in? That could be a hint of some type for things to come. Being behind walls doesn't make you safe, something like that.

That horse :(

The house party was so surreal. I'm glad Sasha called them out on it. They're too complacent.

I'm willing to bet that this whole "you can tell the difference between a good person and a bad person" and "you should be a recruiter" will end up with Daryl bringing Morgan to the group.

Sasha was amazing. I found the whole thing especially weird because a few weeks ago I had a similar dream, where I was in a town where people lived normally in a world where zombies still vastly outnumbered living people. I really need to stop watching The Walking Dead right before bed.

Also, I watched this video on Reedus talking about Daryl's sexuality... and I guess I'd never heard him talk as non-Daryl before because I was not expecting that voice.

Michonne was eye smurfing him when she noticed he shaved. *sigh* if only. Rick has already turned in to Shane like 8 episodes ago. I think this show proves that no matter what you shave you will still cut a mother smurfer down with a machete and wanna randomly kill a man because you want to bone her wife. People thought by shaving he was going back to old Rick. He can never go back to old Rick no matter the costume. I don't believe any of them will able to go back to who they were before and the only one who shows improvement is Michonne.

This might just be a coincidence, but there's an interesting read on how the last 5 episodes of this season are all titled with a word from a sentence Dale said.

http://www.thewalkerstalkers.com/dalelives/

Dale decides to tell a story about a father who gives his son a watch that had been passed down for generations. At the end of his story, Dale has this quote: “I give it to you not that you may REMEMBER time, but that you may FORGET it for a moment now and then and not SPEND all of your breath TRYing to CONQUER it.”

Check out the episode titles for the final 5 episodes of season 5:

Episode 512-“Remember”
Episode 513-“Forget”
Episode 514-“Spend”
Episode 515-“Try”
Episode 516-“Conquer”

This may not mean anything, but the show always finds ways to drop little easter eggs here and there. It's interesting with there already being one throwback to Dale when Glenn has to fix the RV this season.

They better put a bullet in Nicolas' head. I know he was scared and it was an instinctual fight or flight type of thing. But i'm pissed. I was really looking forward to Noah's growth, especially with that new journal. What stings even more is that Noah's death isn't just about him, it's also an extension of the sacrifice Beth made for him. I'll miss him.

Eugene got himself some redemption cred at the end there. I hope Tara's alright.

I must admit I wasn't expecting Carol to turn around and bond with Sam in this episode. I'm ready for Rick to take out the physically abusive husband. He has what's coming to him.

Gabriel's a big hypocrite considering all the things he's had to do to survive himself.

Gutted for Noah. Like what has been said, I was really looking forward to seeing him develop.

Have I missed something? I don't remember the husband being abusive to anyone. OK, maybe verbally but nothing physical. Carol saying to Rick that he has to kill him is a ridiculous overreaction.

I don't think Deanna believes what Gabriel said but it will have put a little seed of doubt in her head. She may be more believing when Glen and Eugene come back without her son. Nicolas is sure to blame them for what's happened. The whole thing will be exacerbated if Rick takes out that husband with no real proof of anything.

Our group is definitely gonna end up taking over the town.

They haven't said it outright but they've been heavily hinting at it by showing him to be a jealous drunk. Hell, he was quite hostile just sitting on his porch at night when Rick hadn't done anything more than talk to his wife.

And the thing with Carol is that she lived that for years and has since become the kind of person who not only wouldn't take that crap anymore, but would actively murder anyone who tried and not think twice about it. She recognizes the signs, and her suggesting Rick kill him may be an over reaction, but it's certainly not a stretch for her.

I'm half surprised she didn't just go murder him herself.

I seriously loathe Nicholas and Gabriel with a great passion.

If anything every one of them proved they put others in front of themselves. smurfing crazy ass religious and their cray cray ideas. But time for comic book spoilers...

pete does get killed by Rick in the comics because he is beating his wife. They then go on to have sex a lot. So yeah. It seems like that will probably happen in the show as well especially because both Carol and Rick have a strong motive. I am very worried how that is going to escalate the situation with Congress Lady's suspicion. Thanks Gabe. I can imagine that they will have some sort of civil war in there that will then attract the zombies and because the wall is still under construction I can see them breaking the walls. Not sure how they are going to recoup after that.

as I said earlier these people will either get with it (with people who know what they're doing) or they will die. It seems like they are choosing the later. It's a pity because I do actually think Congress Lady is a good person and genuinely wants the best for Alexandria.

Also Franceen must totally be the new love interest for Big Red. Unless she is a lesbian but I am not saying that just because the haircut. Okay maybe a little.

Yeah I know, all the signs point to it but there is just no evidence for it. How do we know that Sam wanted the gun to protect against his Dad? It wouldn't surprise me if it's the Mum that's being abusive. She portrays a nice, friendly mom figure to the community but... no-one knows what happens behind closed doors.

Shiny

03-17-2015, 09:25 AM

The mom? Please. A man of Pete's size could protect himself against her. The kid said he needed a gun to give to someone and he was talking about a parent. It's completely illogical to think that he would want Pete to have that gun. Plus his body language and what he says to Rick all points to porch dick. He was bothered by Rick from the get-go "I saw you two" "we are trying to hold on to what we have" and he is constantly drinking when we see him. The mother even comments on it at the party and he snaps at her that he will get it, it being a drink.

Glenn is also literally amazing. Not only does he not kill Nicholas he goes back to help that other douchebag. Glenn was basically always a saint and has been my favorite character from episode 1. Carol although she is now evil Carol, obviously enjoys telling children to piss off but I know deep down she just doesn't want to get close to any children anymore because of what happened to Sophia and those two little blond girls. I hope she becomes friends with Sam eventually and they bake cookies together.

I'm not saying that's what I think is happening, I merely said that it wouldn't surprise me. I never said that he wanted the gun for Pete either. All I'm saying is that none of us have any idea what is happening inside Sam's house. Is there another person we don't know about? Wouldn't be the first time.

You are all probably right. Sam and his Mom are getting abused by the drunken father and Carol and Rick are gonna go and take him out. I just find the fact that we haven't seen evidence of it unusual. We all know this show has no problems with showing violent behaviour. Surely they would have shown him being abusive to them both to justify Carol and Rick's reaction.

Oh well, we'll find out soon enough.

03-17-2015, 03:06 PM

ofc you dont see anything about the abuse, because it all happens behind closed doors, and for the public they play the happy couple. because that is how it happens in real life to!

Noah's death was brutal! i really felt sad for Glen, that he had to see it all.

and even though i am with Rick's group, Gabriel was absolutely right about them. they are wolves in sheep's clothing, and they cant be trusted as they have shown. (stealing guns, literally planning to take over the city...)

Noah's death was so graphic and i'm super pissed at that guy.

What the hell gabriel?! They murdered CANNIBALS. That wasn't an evil thing that was a good thing.

See you know there is something going on with Pete and Sam and his wife because when carol had her suspicions and she went over there, sweet nice carol that the public knows, he not only blows her off about Sam but doesn't let her talk to his wife either and just closes the door in her face. It was okay for him to come bring beers to rick but not okay for sweet nice carol to pop in? Something is going on.

Shiny

03-17-2015, 10:07 PM

Gabriel is only partially right. He said that they wouldn't help people before themselves. That is complete bulltrout. Glenn tried to save that guy, Big Red saved Franceen, and several times before this episode they tried to help people who weren't apart of their group. I think in the end Rick does have some evil intentions and does want to take the place over completely because he does feel they are incompetent, but they are.

Some how they have managed to make it work without them though but I don't think the zombies are their biggest threat. It seems pretty clear that other humans have always been the biggest threat in this show.

Also Michonne and Carl saved Gabriel's ass. How quick he forgets. He is selfish just like those people and would rather save his own ass than someone else's. I'm not sure I get Maggie's reaction either. Maybe she feels some what guilty about what happened in the church? Though she shouldn't because it was self defense. Those people were disgusting.

I also think it's wrong to lump them in one thing. Though they are Rick's group, they are all individuals. While Glenn, Michonne, and Abraham (Big Red) may be good-hearted I don't think Rick is anymore and I think he sees every opportunity now as a "what I can get from them" opportunity.

Great episode. I can see it going down with Rick taking out action against the creepy husband, and him being exiled from the town, maybe Glenn and Carol too.

I think the group will split. Some are fitting in better than others. I can see Rick making a mistake about this creepy husband and alienating some of his own people...except Carol, she's turning pretty crazy!

Someone brought up the whole Shane and Rick shaving parallel thing on Talking Dead tonight. Honestly, the more and more this show progresses the more I am seeing parallels and I don't like it, but I do love that acting. Going for that Emmy, I see.

Overall I think they are all dealing with PTSD in their own way. I think the only one sort of coping with it is Glenn who has changed the least in my opinion, though it will be interesting to see how Noah getting brutally murdered in front of him alters his behavior.

I also think it's interesting how so many people on my Facebook feed are either "yeah smurf you Rick" or "wtf how dare they disobey Rick". In all honesty, I was tired of the Ricktatorship and I think the end of this season Rick will probably end up being right about them being very dumb. I only see it going one of two ways. One way, might separate parts of the group; those who are with Rick and those who are just like, "you know what I'm tired of moving around". Either that or Rick will just takeover Alexandria completely.

All in all, I definitely see this ending in some type of war between the two groups now with Rick and Congress Lady directly opposing each other, though as a twist, Rick is the antagonist. Not sure how they're going to fit the whole W thing and Morgan in the season finale, but it's 90 minutes so they better figure that trout out. And no, I don't think that's an upside down M especially when it says "Wolves" in the mid-season premiere in graffiti on a gate.

People have argued with me about how rick was in the right. I just see him as the Governor, taking over to do things his way. Or Shane, trying to lead and kill people because "that's the world we live in". Both people who are dead and were considered the bad guys. Rick is too far gone. He could have stopped because everyone saw the guy hit his wife. It would have driven the point home. Rambling all bloody like a madman about taking over just made him look bad.

Carl, Michonne, and Glenn are on the side of the coin where they're like "wtf are you doing Rick" but I think Carl and Michonne are the only ones who can help steer him back in the right direction. It will be interesting to see who decides to go with him when he gets thrown out of Alexandria (we see in the next episode previews that it appears he is being thrown out I think). I think Sasha is totally on board and Carol but she is busy being a ninja so can't openly agree. Rick was crazy for a while though...thinking Lori was calling him when she wasn't. Dude was having PTSD way before everybody else.

Still him being crazy doesn't mean he's entirely wrong. You can't simply just oust people without taking some precautions. Maybe not killing him but at least ensuring that he can't get back in some how. I honestly think Congress Lady and the dumb ass Alexandrians are in for a rude awakening.

It's almost Sunday and I already can't contain my emotions because I know there's going to be death. Show runner said there won't just be walker blood.

Oh no, don't kill Carol please no. She still needs to make her cookies. Characters who l think will die: Tara (one can I hope), her son (his eyes freak me out ok), Father Dick (one can dream), a bunch of other Alexandrians (because they had it coming), Rosarita (just have a hunch and I have no idea of that's her real name).

Probably not going to die: Carl, Michonne, Sasha (she is safe in the tower pretty much), Morgan (whenever the fuck he appears).

All bets are off on everyone else though. Normally I'd include Rick but he's been acting too stank for me to feel sure that he'll be okay though for the most part I think he will be.

Carol is totes a guest on Talking Dead though so that leaves me worried.

But my favorite part? Definitely the fact that it was made 30 minutes longer so that they could show 30 more minutes of commercials. Oooh, yeah. /endsarcasm

Daryl always has the best kills. He beats mothersmurfers with other mothersmurfers AND uses a chain to get a three kill combo. The new Zombie Killer of the Year.

I am annoyed though because there wasn't enough Richonne. Also I loved that plot device with the map. So simple, and yet tied Morgan's storyline together nicely. I am hoping his storyline has nothing to do with his storyline in the comics. It will ruin the Richonne. >=(

Rick killing Pete was of course the right thing. As I said on here or on Facebook, Rick was right about all he said. You can't have a violent asshole hurting people because he's abusive and a drunkard. How helpful could he be then? And he was also right about them not knowing wtf they are doing.

However, I am thoroughly annoyed at that scene with Glenn. Glenn killing that guy would have been out of self-defense since he shot him for reasons we don't know, but I feel it was poor writing to have him just venture off anyway and Glenn follow him. I guess he wanted to leave because yeah him leaving a safe haven like that makes total sense. This season was lackluster compared to what he could have been but Walking Dead is known for dragging things out or having pointless scenes in between good scenes. Side note: I will say this was the most satisfying opener for an episode. Gotta love Morgan.

Nicholas is just ridiculous, ugh. Wolves please take him and Father Gabriel. In short if they don't kill Father Gabriel and every other filler character they have by the first episode of Season 6 they can smurf off. I can deal with evil characters I cannot deal with stupid and annoying ones. I also find it hard to believe that Maggie is so good-hearted now to Father Gabriel. I can understand Glenn with Nicholas just because it's Glenn, but Maggie with Father Gabriel? I guess she was trying to prove him wrong and seeing that he is trying to punish himself for his sins, but helping him up? Girl, bye. I still firmly believe that he is coward and not fit for this so he had the right idea. Too much of a coward to even try to kill himself hence why he then killed the zombie.

I guess the writers thought that by trolling their deaths they would at least win us back by having Pete die, but everyone who knows about the comics knows Pete dies by Rick's hand so that was no big hooray.

Bubba

Yeah, Morgan became my favourite character in just one episode. He is the human Donatello.

I thought a little more might happen for a series finale but I suppose we know that both groups have officially bonded now. I think you're right though Kaycee in that Morgan will definitely not approve of Rick's actions at the end of the episode.

Series 6 is set up nicely for a stand-off between the new coalition and the Wolves.

Yes this season was in my opinion the best. It had everything I wanted. Gangsta Bitch Carol scaring annoying children and abusive men, Rick having a Shane moment, Richonne, Morgan turning in to Blade. Daryl being Daryl. Pretty good and a good set up for next season. But the season finale wasn't as good as season 4 finale.

Keeping in mind that Rick was only in a coma for a few weeks (possibly a month or two), I imagine that the "origin story" aspect of Fear The Walking Dead won't go much farther than the first season.

I really did like this episode, and to shorten it I will just say because of what everyone else has. The only thing I can add is: why do they keep putting Glenn in all of these close call scenarios...if he goes I quit.

Also can anyone confirm or deny that Pete had michonnes katana?

I'm pretty sure that's correct. In Michonne's last scene she's seen contemplating putting it back on the wall, but then keeps it on her person.

It must have been hers because I don't remember her ever taking it down.

Can't get enough of them memes, Shai.

I had the finale of this show DVR'd and finally watched it yesterday. Disappointed that only two (and minor ones at that) of the many many filler characters got killed. Various people need to die and it would have been nice if the herd got thinned a bit at the end of this season. The following people have outlived their usefulness and need to die:

The Preacher
Sasha
Eugene (though he's funny)
Lesbian Cop (maybe she has something more to provide since she survived a very killable moment)
Douchebag Who Tried to Kill Glen

I thought at least one of those would bite it (no pun intended) in the finale.

Also Rick x Michonne needs to happen just because it would be so awkward it would be hilarious.

I actually have hopes for the LA spinoff since I hope they will learn their lessons from all the mistakes they made with this show. With a clean slate it will be interesting to see where they take it.

Also I hate that the stupidity of the characters (often uncharacteristicly) is used as the plot device so freaking often. It was definitely consistent with Gabriel's character to haphazardly shut the gate since he has gone crazeballs but not for the guard who was in charge of the gate and three feet away to ask the weird preacher who went out for a walk, unarmed, into zombie land to handle one of the most important jobs in the whole town! Also how did Gabriel's shirt stay white that whole time?

Lone Wolf Leonhart

05-04-2015, 08:40 PM

The thing I've seen the most eyebrows raised over was how it was bright outside when Rick shut the gate but was pitch black 3 seconds later when he sees the group in the town meeting.

I'm not a huge stickler for continuity errors, to be honest. I let it slide.

let's see how my dreams were dashed this season:

The people I want to survive. The first is Daryl, the second is Tara. These are the two characters I need to see go all the way.

Oh wait, they weren't dashed :smug:

Daryl needs to be the Sawyer to Rick's Jack and shut him down when he's going off on one of his stupid plans, but he just isn't. Bring back Shane. Shane would sort Rick's ass out.

Also that guy attacked Glen in daylight and then Glen tackled him in pitch darkness. Or maybe they were wandering aimlessly for an hour or two?

Glen needed to pull a Rick and shoot that guy.

It is possible to get lost in the woods for two hours or longer. They had probably diverged away from their known path and then it became dark. It could have also been closer to night time say 4pm. But yes, I don't know why he didn't shoot him. The guy tried to kill him, so it's self-defense. Glenn is just being stupid now and will probably die next season because of it.

oh sh*t!

Hold on to your bats!
The Walking Dead is casting for a character code named "Orin," who definitively fits the characteristics of one comic book character you may have heard of: Negan.

The news comes from The Spoiling Dead Fans Facebook page, who cited Spoil The Dead.

"30s to mid 40s. A physically imposing, charismatic, brutal, smart, ferocious, frightening, hilarious, inappropriate, oddly friendly, fun loving sociopath that is both a leader of men and a killer of men. He has both a practical and emotional intelligence, he's a brilliant strategist, he's pure, dangerous, murderous, often gleeful id, that still has both discipline and a code. And he has a temper that can vaporize people. He's truly one of the strongest personalities ever..."

Think about it... The Walking Dead is perfectly on pace to introduce Negan in the season 6 finale. Averaging 20 comic book issues per season, with season five's culmination equivalent to issue 79 where Pete Anderson gets put down, issue 100 is on par to be the season 6 finale. Don't forget, season one was only six episodes when you try to point out how this theory may be an issue or two short with exact math.
In addition to the comic-issue-to-episode-count parallels, the series also cast Tom Payne (http://comicbook.com/2015/09/23/the-walking-dead-finds-its-jesus/) as Paul "Jesus" Monroe and Xander Berkeley (http://comicbook.com/2015/09/16/the-walking-dead-season-6-casts-xander-berkeley-in-a-mystery-rol/) as an unnamed comic character described very similarly to Gregory. These two hail from the Hilltop Community and they both come into play prior to Negan's introduction which is, in fact, while Rick is en route from Alexandria to the Hilltop.

Looks like we're getting Saviors and Hilltop in season 6.

Also, I'm glad that stupid dude that got noah killed is manning up now.

Also also, that one guy who rick pulled a gun on, i'm glad he died. He was a bad guy in Once Upon a Time so I just didn't like him.

Also also also, I'm glad Morgan is there. He's now filling the role of Ricks morality like hershal and dale did before. Rick unfortunately needs that.

Good season premire! I was excited, through and through.

Shiny

That episode blew. Started off strong but then became lackluster. I like the creative risks they're taking it but the constant back and forth in time did nothing to capture my interest. Felt like a filler and set-up episode so hopefully episode 2 will be better.

Also what's his name hasn't even been introduced yet so technically Glenn is still supposed to be alive though I think it is likely Nichalos will kill him because he gave him a second chance when he shouldn't have. I think it's ominous what occurred in the first episode with a Carter and "giving people second chances". Rick let the guy live which wasn't a dick move. He figured he'd die anyway because he isn't a survivor like Rick's group. He's used to the comfort of being behind the walls. He was ill-prepared to face what lurks beyond them.

Bubba

10-14-2015, 11:34 AM

Yeah, I'm with Shiny on this. I wasn't really impressed with the episode as a season starter. The constant jumping between time periods was messy and a little confusing. I also thought there would be more tension between Morgan and Rick after the way season 5 ended but no, they're already best buds.

Have the special effects always been that poor? Maybe it's because I was watching it in HD for the first time but the mass zombies and when they fell off the cliff looked truly awful.

Those first two episodes were the best I've seen since the first half of season 5, which I am very glad about since after the dross that was the second half (worst episodes since first half of season 4 imo) I had lost most hope for the show.

That said, while the episode themselves were great, I have serious concerns about where this show is going. Is it just me or do the Wolves seem like the most non-threatening villains so far? Seriously, after the maliciousness of The Governor in season 3, and the psychotic (yet brief) villains of Terminus, these guys seem like a bunch of feral ghouls!

Sure they killed a bunch of people, but they're barely armed and eventually had to retreat due to what...Carol and Morgan? If the main group had been there they wouldn't have even gotten over the wall. Pretty disappointing after the excellent teasing they did for them last season.

I think this show could do with a good old reset. At least half of the main cast should be killed off, there are just far too many pointless characters: Sasha, Gabriel, Abraham, Eugene, Rosita, and of course the most pointless one - Tara. These characters are going nowhere and just take up valuable screen time. Seriously the show is only 40 mins per episode, there are too many characters to go around. There also needs to be a focus, much like in season one. When Eugene was supposed to be some guy with the cure I was pumped! I thought the show was finally going to get a new drive and focus, alas no. If I have to hear another season of "We gotta survive" "Find somethin' worth livin' for" "We stick together to stay alive" I think I'll be done.

Rant over....although a logistical point if I may - How the hell did Morgan get back to Alexandria way before any of the group? Wasn't he standing right next to Rick when they all heard the horn go off?

Shiny

10-21-2015, 04:53 AM

Second episode was better because there were a lot of "oh snap" moments. A lot of Morgan being Donatello and Carol being that guy from a Resident Evil 4 that asks what you're buying. It was pretty great. Carol and Morgan's whole character building is great and I'm interested to see how Morgan went from being crazy to the zen semi-pacifist he is now.

But please for the love of God someone cut Carl's hair. He is looking more and more like Ellen DeGeneres circa 2002. I think this point the only way I'd be kept completely interested if they killed off Rick because I'm about tired of his shit but I would be shocked if he went off.

SammieBabe

10-21-2015, 08:48 PM

Carol's disguise as Suzy Homemaker is blown though, so I want to see how what's left of Alexandria reacts to her.

And I'm glad Jessie got to release that pent up rage.

Rocket Edge

10-22-2015, 03:00 AM

The show would die with Rick being killed off, and I think I'd become disinterested. I agree that the show needs a new direction in some ways although, I liked Alexandria as a break to see these characters being normal again. We haven't seen that with most of them like Michonne.

The main problem is too much dilly-dallying with pointless story arch's. Same thing happened with Breaking Bad and I ended up not caring about it. There's some characters who I love which I don't mind hearing about their backstory, & I understand you need to stretch out the show to milk it, but c'mon. Focus more on the main plot please.

Shiny

10-22-2015, 04:49 AM

Agreed, I don't think they need to go in to every character's backstory because in reality when these people are inevitably killed the main characters know very little about them anyway as should the viewer. I'm much more interested in seeing Morgan's backstory as it's been quite some time since we last saw him and I feel his role is more integral. I would also really love to know all of Michonne's backstory which I feel was robbed by that corny flashback.

Like, that was a nice visual spectacle and all but no main characters died - and it's not like it's a small cast to begin with. It didn't feel shocking or like there was much at stake. I know, I know, I'm dismissing people being stabbed to shit as being not shocking but there's no emotional weight - compare that to when Herschel or Beth went down after tense confrontations and that's what I'm talking about.WELL NOW I REGRET SAYING THIS :colbert:

Except I don't, fantastic fucking episode. Absolutely tense and well-worked. Also I have to say I do like the new sociopath Rick. I never liked the bumbling boy scout trying to do the right think and yet constantly fucking up and felt Shane was right. Ice fucking cold letting rip with that assault rifle without a moment's pause. If you think back you can kind of see how every season he's been a little bit closer to where he is now.

The sound designer in me loved last night's episode. At the Nicholas part, when the outside sound deafened and then that music cue came in I had a sound gasm, but also "OH SOME trout IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN". It made the scene much more intense.

Also what's his name hasn't even been introduced yet so technically Glenn is still supposed to be alive though I think it is likely Nichalos will kill him because he gave him a second chance when he shouldn't have.

I think this was a pretty accurate reaction of mine to what happened:

o_HwzO2uqVs

Regarding the death, I'm actually genuinely surprised at how many people are saying they hope that Glenn is alive. While his death was sad, and I didn't want to see him go, I thought it added so much to the episode and show in general. It got back to that "anyone can go at anytime" kinda thing they had in the earlier seasons.

To have Glenn be alive after blatantly trying to show us he's dead would be a betrayal of the highest order in my opinion. Not only that, but there is no way in hell Glenn is getting out of there without 1 scratch or bite, even if they aren't his organs being spilled everywhere. It would be totally unbelievable and it'll really lower the show in my mind.

Excellent Rick stuff though, so eager to see how he gets out of this one (Help from Daryl I bet). While that scene in the RV when he was attacked was short, it was one of the best in the episode for me.

In conclusion = Glenn to stay dead, Rick to survive.

I feel like I'm handling Glenn's death okay now. I wasn't ok when it happened.

However, I love Maggie and I will cry when she realizes what happens. And when she confirms that she's pregnant with Baby Glenn.

Also, while I wanted to know about how Morgan became a Jedi, I wasn't expecting to have an extended episode in middle of all this emotional stuff. AMC is stringing us along hard.

I really enjoyed the slowing down of this episode to calm everyone down from the last few hectic episodes. I really liked Eastman's character and i'm sad to see him go so quickly.

Poor Tabitha :(

The location they filmed at was beautiful though. I did enjoy that.

This is the worst show on television. Jesus smurfing christ.

The level of stupid that we're supposed to accept in order for this show to chug along is astonishing.

Really, guy. You're going to turn your back on a zombie and be like, nooo, morgan, instead of just killing the zombie? Really Michonne + extras, you're going to just stand there staring at other extra dude being like, "oh no, you're being brutally eaten alive" instead of putting him out of his misery??" Girl with the limp, you're seriously not going to just shoot yourself in the head rather than waste your bullets on the zombies when you're overrun? smurf these people are stupid.

Arrrghghghgh.

Also, there is no way Glenn is dead. If he is, they were unnecessarily careful about the framing of shot. But for reals, he SHOULD be dead cause the excuse they're going to use for him being alive is just crazy pants. Not that I want him to be dead. I love Glenn. But yeah. Totes not dead.

I hate this show. But I keep coming back to it, so I guess they're doing something right.

I think the lack of anything else like TWD on TV is what keeps us coming back even though it can be really, really stupid. If an real adaptation of the World War Z source material became a TV series (not that stupid movie) then I'd probably watch that instead. Until that happens there's no other 'post-apocalyptic survival' series out there for us nerds.

Did anyone catch the Into the Badlands trailer in the last episode? That show looks crazy. I can't believe they get away with that much human gore though I guess TWD set the bar by saying 'it's ok cause it's zombies'.

Freya

Good because Jon Snow isn't dead.

Also there is a show like Walking Dead on and it's called Z Nation but I don't watch that because I am not as invested in the characters and story. That's what keeps me watching. Zombies are cool too ig. Also it is a melting pot of a show with super hero type women and it makes me happy.

Del Murder

11-09-2015, 03:42 PM

I think this will be my last episode of The Walking Dead. Not one where a beloved character dies, but one where absolutely nothing happens. I think the level of intelligence behind this show is summarized clearly by the fact that Daryl, a fan favorite, has been basically biking down a road this entire season. Lesbian Cop and I Don't Know What I'm Doing Doctor have gotten more screentime than he has. He does have a focal episode next week but this is Episode 5 already. Too little too late for me. There's just too many characters and not enough interesting ones and I hate when they split the cast up like this because it moves the plot a snail's pace.

RIP TWD

Shiny

11-09-2015, 04:32 PM

This is no excuse, but I think as people become more desired on the show their rates spike up. They have episodes where favorites like Carol, Daryl, and Michonne are barely even in the episode or not at all. I think the issue is less with budget though and more with the fact that they have currently too many characters to try to focus on. Luckily that will be handled soon inevitably.

In saying that, I don't understand why they needed to have a 90 minute episode for Morgan whose name I had to look up. I like the actor and the character is interesting, but I don't need 90 minutes of his backstory in one episode.

Del Murder

11-09-2015, 05:58 PM

Totally missed that Michonne was absent from that episode too other than a conversation she had in the background with Maggie, whose name I actually couldn't remember at first since she's such a non entity. The best characters on this show have for a while been Daryl, Michonne, and Carol, and to go two episodes with none of them is unforgivable. Rick is not that interesting anymore and neither are any of the new people in Alexandria. There are about a dozen people who just need to be eaten the next time they are in screen.

Psychotic

11-09-2015, 09:15 PM

I agree with a lot of what Del is saying, although I've always found Michonne to be bland as hell while the wacky antics of Rick and his descent into sociopathy will always entertain me. That said, I only started watching less than a year ago so I'm not as invested as most people, but yeah the past couple of episodes have just been mehhhhhhhhhh.

I was recently introduced to the idea of a genre of media called "competence porn". And it was one of those lightbulb moments for me. I smurfing LOVE competence porn! I love watching people do things and do it well. It's one of the reasons why I adore downtown abbey. Because I love watching them set the table all super neat and dress so immaculately. And also shows like West Wing or House of Cards (first season, obv). It's part of why I like watching artisan videos of people crafting things out of wood or writing calligraphy. I like it when people are just generally talented and good at what they're setting out to do.

And it's probably the reason why the Walking Dead enrages me so much. Because everyone is just so dumb. All the time. So so dumb.

I love the post apocalyptic genre. It's one of my favorites. And to watch people in this setting fail so spectacularly at surviving is just no fun for me. I know we're not supposed to care all that much because it's generally not the main cast who dies from the sheer stupidity, but what fun is it really to watch any of the red shirts die in really dumbass ways?

I would love a zombie show in the line of World War Z, where they actually develop smart, clever ways to live and deal with a zombie apocalypse. That would be fun.

I can't believe they stole his bike.

I think that group in the woods is going to end up being The Saviors, and they have a system kinda like the hospital in Atlanta. Where you "owe" them from the minute you arrive.

Most people that have been alive for really long aren't that dumb, Miriel. Though it remains to be seen how Morgan has managed this long because he is pretty dumb at this point. Rick is actually becoming more interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes more of a villain role similar to what The Governor was. The issue with that is a lot of his more renegade type people probably will not have any of that. Michonne was already like "can you fucking not".

Bubba

11-23-2015, 09:58 PM

I know everyone was saying "the guy fell on top of Glen" and "it wasn't him they were eating!" I never wanted Glen to die as he was one of my favourite character but... There is no way IN A MILLION SMURFING YEARS that he would still be alive even if the guy fell on top of him. They would both have been torn apart. I'd rather he just died and we had to deal with it.

The following sums up my feelings on the matter.

Still fuming that Glen is still alive. Every scene I saw him in last night I was just like "you shouldn't be alive".

I really hate it when shows insult your intelligence like that. Expecting us to believe that utterly ridiculous escape. I'm too invested in the whole show to stop watching now but after last night... I'm ready for the whole series to end now.

Crop

11-24-2015, 09:33 AM

Glenn being alive has literally ruined the show for me.

And on the Shane thing, Rick killed Shane because the guy snapped only a few months after the outbreak after nothing that bad had (comparatively) happened, he was probably right to do it. Rick has finally snapped after leading the group for so long through some utter hellish situations. His transformation has been fairly gradual and at least makes sense.

But like I said, the show has been ruined for me now with Glenn being alive so who cares.

Psychotic

I would argue that the initial outbreak is a worse thing to live through than anything subsequent.

I love when people can suspend disbelief for a zombie apocalypse but demand a more realistic escape scene. :)

If you're pissed that Glenn made it out then you should be equally pissed that the bullet ricochet in the tank in season 1 didn't off Rick.

Or that Andrea was just a good enough shot to hit Daryl in the ear in season 2. Or hell, that Daryl didn't die of sepsis in season 2 from his woodland injuries. Or that he didn't suffer permanent brain damage or go into a coma due to concussion.

You should probably hate the fact that Glenn didnt already die in the prison in season 3 due to being near an explosion.

Or that Carl survived a gut full of buckshot after having major abdominal sugery in someone's bedroom.

Or that Judith was left unattended and strapped to an cars eat during an walker infestation/war and miraculously escaped.

Or that the huge storm that felled all the trees and took out the walkers in season 5 while our team was huddled in a barn should have dropped a tree or five on the barn itself, given their size and proximity.

My point is that this show has made crazy escapes and near misses into a meme. But this is the one that's too much? That goes beyond the what the rational mind can take?

Accept this brief moment of happiness for these characters in an unforgiving world as as gift. I get anxious enough watching this on as regular basis; if it just became "The Road" with zombies I think most people would have 0 enjoyment.

Bubba

11-26-2015, 12:25 PM

I'm sorry FOA but none of those examples are a patch on Glen's escape. I'll admit that some of the group are mighty fortunate to be alive, particularly Carl getting shot in the belly. He should have been a goner, or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

This is completely different though. Countless times in this series, we've seen a zombie horde overcome a human biting any part of them that is exposed. This is a regular occurrence and spells certain death for anyone involved. You can't then show two people fall into a horde of zombies (a much larger number than usual too), have the zombies choose not to eat one of them, that person then crawls under a bin, which zombies can't crawl under themselves for some reason, then after a while the zombies all decide to go for an early night. If there was fresh meat available they wouldn't have been distracted by anything else. It goes against everything the show has demonstrated as zombie behaviour.

Of course you suspend disbelief when watching this kind of show. All of those examples are valid in that they were very lucky. It's only when the show breaks its own rules that it is an insult to your intelligence.

Psychotic

11-26-2015, 12:43 PM

Bubba you jackass, zombies aren't real. Gandalf and Dumbledore should be able to fly down in their X-Wings and unleash a friendly horde of velociraptors to rescue the cast from zombies without you questioning it!

The problem with it is that it removes all tension and danger from a show which is about tension and danger. If Rick, Daryl and Glenn were surrounded by walkers closing in, who would care? Who'd think "Oh trout, they're all going to die?" Heck, they could walk through a horde buck naked and slapping every single walker in the face with their todgers and come out just fine. At the moment they're trying to paint a dire situation for Alexandria, surrounded by the undead. I don't believe it. Tension gone. Rick, just walk out the gates and stab them all. You'll be fine.

It also sucked because they very deliberately tried to make the audience think he was dead, what with the several week break before we heard from him and the grieving of Maggie. SURPRISE, HE'S NOT! Cheap shot. And smurf me the "We thought they were dead but guess what they're NOT!!!!" cliché has been done to death, especially in this show. Look at the first smurfing episode! So okay, cool, Glenn's not dead, yawn, what else have you got?
