Walking Dead Season 8 - Unmarked spoilers for aired eps in thread

[Sephex]

The Walking Dead has zombies in it.

Based on my knowledge of the comics as well as what they discussed on Talking Dead, I can explain Abraham's flashbacks for people who don't quite get what's going on.

I'll spoiler tag it in case you want to see if they explain it further in a future episode, but I don't think they will.

Explanation of Abraham's back storyAbraham and his family were surviving the apocalypse with his friends/neighbors. As the story goes his family was raped while he was out on a supply run. The guy you see him beating the trout out of with a can of food is a guy he thought he could trust. Abraham beat the guy to a pulp and killed him viciously, and his family was watching. They were very terrified as they were seeing this relentless brutal soldier/monster in action and were afraid of him. They left and by the time he found them, it was too late.

aw man, what an episode.
Poor Eugene, eventhough he had it comming.

i feel sad for Abraham. when Eugene showed up with his ´mission´ Abraham had a purpose to stay alive again.
he went through hell to protect Eugene and now its all been for nothing!!


Edit
hah.. pretty acurate xD

[Bubba]

I knew Eugene was dodgy! It was all a bit vague when he was talking about the cure. I do like Abraham but he just needs to chill out a bit. We'll see how he copes now he has nothing to fight for.

[Shlup]

I really wanted Eugene to be a scientist with a mullet.

[Shiny]

It hasn't been for nothing. Abraham has met other people that have also given him a purpose, survival. He'll be aight.

Also lol to whoever thought he was a scientist. Come on now.

I was on The Walking Dead Facebook page and I happened across a few people in the comment section of a post going back and forth about how they perceived Beth in the comics. One guy said "she's much more snobby in the comics" and another guy said "she's more shy" or something, and they kept going back and forth.

Except there's just one problem. Beth isn't in the comics at all.

I was going to interject but I decided not to. They had embarrassed themselves enough without my help.

[Del Murder]

She wasn't even there as one of the random Hershel children that got killed?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Seven children and not one of them named Beth.

[Shlup]

Pfft, she was there, she was just an otherkin, you bigot.

Continuing this thread in the Facebook group was a lot of fun.

A lot of people are drawing speculation on who they think is going to die tomorrow.

I think it's Beth. It hurts to say it and I hope I'm wrong because I really enjoyed her character development in season 4 and I think her evolution shows in how she reacts inside Grady Memorial. She has really evolved emotionally. She went from slitting her wrists because she thought she wanted to die, to killing a guy who tried to sexually assault her, and despite having her face on the ground as she tried to escape, she smiled anyway. She's not the obvious choice for death that she could have been seen as in season 3, and this season has thrown a lot of curve balls at us on what could happen.

Carol is certainly a top notch contender, but it almost feels like the obvious answer. She's received a lot of screen time, redemption, and she's currently in a hospital bed. I don't think she'll make it into season 6 but she'll live through tomorrow.

It was beth! Oh snap.

[fire_of_avalon]

Ok. Look I was expecting this. I was honestly expecting worse. As in more deaths of main characters.

I was NOT EXPECTING MAGGIE TO FIND OUT BETH WAS ALIVE AND MAKE A SPEED RUN TRYING TO REACH HER ONLY TO HAVE HER SEE BETH'S LIFELESS BODY MERE MOMENTS AFTER HER DEATH.

But I can deal with it. I can cope with the fact that Beth died proving a point, proving that the dangerous world she was going back to was better than slavery in Grady.

You know what I can't deal with? Stupid Talking Dead's message during the "In Memoriam" segment that read something like "The only comfort we take after your death is the knowledge that you'll soon be in your father's arms."

I MEAN WHAT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO THERE AND OPEN UP THAT OLD WOUND AGAIN.

smurf you, Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple and Gale Anne Hurd. Stop hurting me with your ways and your stories and your whatnots.
