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

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Fun fact for Final Fantasy fans, Vincent Martella who plays newcomer Patrick in this season of The Walking Dead is also the voice of Hope in the Final Fantasy XIII games.

Speaking of Walking Dead Game, I have a feeling that we'll be seeing some characters from there once they venture to Macon.

That would be cool, but I doubt it considering (SPOILER)Most of the characters in that game die and I imagine those left alive will have their plotlines played out in the sequel to the game.

I would however like to see characters from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct show up. It's more wishful thinking than anything. For those who don't know, a woman named Scout gave Daryl his trademark red handkerchief in this game before they went their separate ways. I always liked thinking that it was her way of saying they would see each other again. I'd like to see her in the show. But again, wishful thinking.

Anyway THAT GUY ZACK DIED AND BETH WAS ALL NO BIG DEAL.

This reminded me of season 2 when she felt like she wanted to commit suicide and Maggie told her she still had her family and Jimmy to care about her. Beth said something like "What I've been dating him for 3 months and now I'm married to the guy?". It seems like she has some sort of issue connecting with guys, or at the very least she's accepting the inevitabilities of the apocalypse.

It rained zombies and it's all because of that alcoholic dude. IT RAINED ZOMBIES DOE.

I loved that scene! I thought it was a great way to start off season 4 with a bang.

Overall I'm very pleased with the direction this show has gone coming in to season 4. I was unsure at first about how I would feel about all these new castmembers coming in from Woodbury to the prison. I felt like having to develop all these new characters would take screen time away from our small core group. If the first episode gives us any insight into how this season is going to turn out, though, I don't think that's going to be an issue

Does anyone have predictions on what they think is going to happen this season? As for myself, I see Michonne and the Governor taking each other out somehow.

I also see something breaking apart Glenn and Maggie. The end of last season hyped up the 2 of them getting married, and this season in the first episode they had a pregnancy scare. Happy relationships don't tend to last long in The Walking Dead, so I see something pulling them apart. One of them dying or something otherwise bad happening.

edit: I was glad to see that Norman Reedus got second billing in the opening credits next to Andrew Lincoln. I remember back when he was the last name to show up.
