OT: Walking Dead last night
- Thread starter newAD
- Start date
I'm a huge Walking Dead fan. A few episodes I wasn't a fan of where it was going. Was too slow. Then last week I thought it was one of the best episodes ever. The human threat now is a nice storyline that will help us transition to what the end will look like. Great scene where tough girls like Maggie and Carol finally have had enough.
Fast forward to this week, I'm not sure how a guy with a pistol in his hand doesn't blow the head or chest off of a guy who is biting his nuts. Natural reaction has him shooting him even if it's in the legs.
Carol leaving was a twist I didn't see coming. Where is she going to even go? If she is sick of killing, leaving Alexandria is the dumbest thing she could do. She could have sat and made her cookies all day long.

Yep and appears Darrel is going to be chasing after her in next weeks episode. Darrel has to be one of my favorite guys on the show. And i missed the episode, what happened to Ricks kid and baby? I seen where he took a shot to the eye but missed a episode or 2 and now im lost.
Both are still alive. Carl is doing as well as a one eyed lad can in the zombie apocalypse.
I wonder how much longer they can keep this particular series going. Since it has now evolved into simply clans attacking other clans for survival and it is already season 6...
I'm much more excited about the newer "Fear the Walking Dead" series as the story line there seems to be the people vs the government.

I agree on that I'm not sure how much further they can go with the series. You'd think that they will run out of writing options/ideas at some point. Hopefully we are wrong.
I haven't looked at any spoiler information, and have not looked at the comic book history, but I've had this feeling that "Negan" will be someone that Rick knew pre-zombie apocalypse. Of course I thought Maggie would lose her baby once she was taken hostage two weeks ago.
I'm really excited about the return of FTWD. When I found out it was going to take place in LA, I figured it'd be all about trying to escape the 'concrete jungle' of So Cal. I didn't see the yacht escape thing coming. That is going to be intriguing to see how that all goes being out on the open water.
I have always like Ruben Blades as an actor, and I can't wait to see just how dark and deep his character will go. I also really like Colman Domingo's character 'Victor.' I read an article about the show that described him as, an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in cash. Great description. Just the way he talks makes him intriguing.
I have a feeling that if I were in that group on that yacht, it would take just a matter of days before I'd be ready to throw Nick overboard. Not sure he and Blades character are going to mesh well in such close quarters? I wonder if mommy can keep him in line?
I like this twist. It makes perfect sense to me.
One thing the writers haven't explored a lot IMO, is just how this world would effect a person's mental health. We have enough crazy people in good times. Her starting to keep track of her human kills, her guilt over the "monsters" comment to Sam, and the conversation of her "equivalent" character from Negan's group, is sending/has sent her over the edge. You can't expect people in this world to continue to make 'rational' survival decisions.
Plus her leaving at the time that they know some of Negan's (maybe all) group is coming to take from them creates a big dilemma for Rick and Daryl.
Yeah I hear you, it's loaded with some great characters already.. it seems Nick has a protector in Victor though. I'm not sure how strong that bond will be, but he certainly sees something of use in that kid. I wonder when Daniel and Victor will have a falling out. It seems Victor is in charge for now, but, has he really established himself as the group leader? It should be interesting to see where it goes, although something makes me think they aren't going to be on that yacht.
What I would like to see is that while we are far into the original Walking Dead series and they have now started the FTWD series to really show how things started from the begging unlike with the Walking Dead Series this would be a great opportunity to have both groups meet up together and see the dynamic between them up to date and current.
