THE WALKING DEAD...and all things zombie

For the 100th episode, Nicotero wanted to bring callbacks from the show's premiere episode, "Days Gone Bye". The scene of Rick and Carl at the gas station was an attempt to recreate shot-for-shot the first scene of the series, though with Carl in Rick's shoes for this episode.[1] This included the secret casting of Addy Miller, the young girl walker Rick encountered in "Days Gone Bye" but now a teenager, performing as a walker in a similar outfit. Miller's role in the scene was shot separately from Lincoln's, and she had been kept away from Lincoln during the filming, as the production crew were afraid of Lincoln spoiling this should he recognize her.[2] The "flashforward" scenes were also filmed to mirror Rick waking up from his coma in "Days Gone Bye".[1] Nicotero brought back Joe Giles, one of the actors that played a walker that followed Rick off a bus in Atlanta as one of walkers used by a Savior watchtower for this episode.[1] Other Easter eggs include Carl using the orange backpack that he, Rick, and Michonne collected from a dead hitchhiker from the season three episode "Clear", and Negan starting a conversation with Rick using the line "Let me ask you somethin', Rick.", which Shane had frequently used in the first two seasons of the show.[1]
The scene where the combined groups have gathered and making final preparations for the attack uses a directorial style which Nicotero called their Goodfellas' moment, where the camera pans through several small groups and picks up various conversations throughout as well as providing some visual storytelling elements. Nicotero wanted this scene to make the audience feel part of the group while also conveying a lot of information at the same time.[1]
The episode's "flashforward" to an older Rick uses the song "Another One Rides the Bus", by Weird Al Yankovic. Gimple wanted a song during these scenes that was jarring for the audience and that would be something that Rick's daughter Judith would be into but would be distinctive, partially inspired by a toddler that was in Gimple's life that was obsessed with the song. He didn't want a "cool" song for these scenes, and felt that with Yankovic's music, "that there’s no worry about cool", making the song a perfect fit.[3]

There's more going on behind the scenes than you realize, my friend. There is an old myth that any story ever written proves to be a documentary of sorts in its own right, somewhere, someplace, or at sometime in the world....hence these characters are telling a story loosely based off true events.....somewhere in time.tempo_n_groove said:

I watched about the first 15 minutes of S1E1 while killing some time the day before this season started. I noticed that gas station scene was very similar to the season 1 opener. I wouldnt have noticed it had I not watched it.HughFreakingDillon said:For the 100th episode, Nicotero wanted to bring callbacks from the show's premiere episode, "Days Gone Bye".

But what were they afraid he would spoil? That they re-used a walker girl from 8 years ago? Doesn't really give away anything.0 -

Okay, so I think Sherry is a weak spot (Achilles heel) for Negan. I said last season when she left that I hope she ended up a zombie, but I now see how useful she could be in taking down Negan. The actor who plays Dwight even said that his hate for Negan and love of his wife makes a powerful potion, on Talking Dead, against Negan. I'm thinking that Rick's group is going to encounter her somehow, or she'll go to them and get in the plan to take down rockstar Negan. Its just a theory anyway, lol. Anyone else think this could happen?0

I don't know though sometimes. Maybe Negan is the result of some nasty, conniving witch bitches who fucked up his world. Maybe that is what leads someone like him to a life of evil. There are two sides to every story. Maybe if him and Rick could just have a sit down discussion over some beers? Sure there's not a lot of trust there, but peace should always be the goal. A lot of people on here already established that Rick killed a lot of his people in their sleep, and Negan killed many of theirs, so its like an eye for an eye and all should be failr and forgiven now, right? In a perfect world. Any thoughts on this? I don't know why I care so much about such a silly show.pickupyourwill said:Okay, so I think Sherry is a weak spot (Achilles heel) for Negan.

Negan punishes his own people by branding their face with a hot iron. He subjugates several young women to be his "wives." He killed the only doctor by burning him alive. He makes the other groups his subjects and makes them provide him with food and other supplies. There is no comparing him to Rick. Negan is evil. Rick is not. It doesn't matter what made Negan that way. He is sadistic and mean.pickupyourwill said:

I’m trying to find a strength in this show.
A crummy story, with no likeable characters, that’s executed poorly on all fronts.
Hell, they even tried to make Rosa average looking.Post edited by DewieCox on0 -

Yup. I just want it to end at this point, probably as badly as the characters would if there was a real zombie apocalypse.DewieCox said:I’m trying to find a strength in this show.

Last we left off there was a shortage of guns and bullets, and there's there's an unlimited supply of both. With little need to ever reload.
And what's up with Morgan not being able to get killed, and they taken out a few dozen people by himself with only a pistol when the others had machine guns.
It's beyond cheesy and just plain bad at this point.
Why can't I stop watching?0 -

Fairly, that discussion would likely come up, but it’s like they decided to go with placeholder lines.
Id like to go on Talking Dead and just bring up the elephant in the room. Hardwick and the guests can’t be that into these episodes. And the show related guests were painful when the show was better. As it’s slipped off a cliff over the last couple seasons they just sound like self important douche bags

Somehow each new episode manages to out-crap the previous one.And so you see, I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.0
