THE WALKING DEAD...and all things zombie

Riverrunner said:

I summarized last night's episode as "chaos." Rick has gotten too cocky. He thinks they can win any battle without losing anyone apparently. Several people just take off willy nilly to chase down two people when they have no idea where each of these people were headed. Carol leaves because she doesn't want to kill anyone to protect her "loved ones" but she barely makes it out of Alexandria before she kills a bunch of people. Daryl gets all stupid and thinks he can fight the Saviors and kill Dwight all by himself? Really?

lol...definitely chaos. With saviors on the loose, that is a pretty bad move to go looking for people--but it is 2 of their strongest people so...

I think Rosita and Darryl would make a much better couple than her and Spencer.

I like the speech Morgan gave about the circle of life, or karma, or good deeds begetting good deeds, etc. He brought up how by letting that Wolf guy live, it in turn allowed him to save Denise's life who saved Carl's life. But then it was ironic to see how the opposite can be true too--how Darryl let Dwight live and now obviously, Dwight is fucking things up for the group, and killed Denise.

I like the substance of Morgan's karma speech, but I think it was stretching it to say that the Wolf saved Denise's life. If Morgan had killed the Wolf Denise wouldn't have been out running around in a sea of walkers, right? Wouldn't she have been inside the building with Rosita, Carol, and Morgan?

That's probably true--lotta loopholes. I think it was still cool to bring up karma and remind us all to be careful of our actions and consequences...what goes around comes around.

I am by nature a long to anger person and a give someone the benefit of the doubt sorta gal. Watching this show tho, I'm on Ricks side here. It took me a while to get there. I was glad Shane died but really he just arrived at the survival aspect faster than most did. A meeting like the one with Jesus,,yes, ask the questions, make a snap judgement. If you see any threat, take it down. Shane had it right, he was just a total dick about it. I didn't like him then, but what an asset he would be now!
By this time I don't think I would feel too bad killing people that were not my group. It's just part of the world and why Carol would start second guessing now really sucks. Daryl running out for revenge was insane. Going where they KNOW the saviors have been is just stupid. It goes against the groups mentality. Stick together and deal with the threat, don't split up and go do willy nilly shit.

I do think Glenn is a goner...the shower scene, him looking at Maggie in the rear-view, Maggies haircut, the baby may die issue...Unless the writers pick someone else? But if so who?

Just skip Vinyl...I'm holding on for my wife, but it hasn't been great.

If Fear the Walking Dead is as good as the 1st season finale there is hope, but they were 5 stinker episodes before that.

Has there ever been a show that is so widely criticized by it's fans? All I ever want to do is bitch about it, yet I watch every lame episode. Not even sure why. So much better tv out there. I'm saving up episodes of Vinyl, have one episode of the current House of Cards season left to watch, and I binge-watched season 2 of Daredevil over the weekend. Now THOSE are great shows.
Thinking Fear the Walking Dead will be a better show than this one, by far, next season.

Lost (after season 2) was a piece of shit and I watched every damn epiosode waiting for all the answers. Lol. Sucker for punishment.

I have very few critiques of TWD compared to what I like about it. I was on the edge of my seat this whole ep despite the few plotholes. I really thought Rick was going to kill morgan. When morgan was turning to leave after having told rick about the wolf, the look on his face, he seemed to be reaching for his gun (which he was, but not to shoot him), rick asking him if he's coming back.....i thought it was leading to rick repeating that he couldn't take that chance. That is very good dramatic build. Maybe i was the only one thinking that, but i really thought it's possible rick murders morgan at that moment. Having the viewer not knowing that about a character shows they know how to write a good story.

I thought the same thing - that Rick might kill Morgan. I'm glad he didn't.

Who do you think is going to get it? And do you think they will leave us totally hanging or will there be a wrap up with a nudge into next season? I'm leaning towards Daryl but Glenn is still the obvious choice....mmmm I just don't know! Or Carol? Will they kill Carol?

Maybe no one? Isn't that what happened last season? I doubt it would be Daryl. Maybe Glenn or Abraham if i had to chose somoene

Rick s group has killed way too many saviors for there not to be someone killed off. Negan's entrance in the book is probably one of if not the most iconic moments in the series. No way they can introduce him and not have him kill off at least one other major character. I think Glenn and Morgan are going to die at negan's hands. Daryl is safe based on his getting shot last week and won't be considered a threat. I also have a feeling that someone may lose a hand to make up for one of the other most iconic moments and how the show screwed up the governor

My son just got a series of TWD comic books today that start with Negan. He showed me the page where each one from Alexandria has their head on a stake. And then it showed Glenn's head mashed to nothing (disgusting). I think the fact that its all in black and white makes it less disgusting, but still just wrong.

I'm glad you mentioned Morgan. Like they mentioned on Talking Dead before, it always seems like the moral compass ends up biting it pretty soon after a good speech or something--like Dale at the farm. If I had to bet $10 Monopoly money, I'd say Morgan.

Walking Dead, Wrestlemania and baseball season all today? Decisions, decisions....
