THE Walking Dead thread

I think Carol wants her to kill the hair dresser's kid along with her husband too because of what he knows. As sadistic as they have made Carol's character here lately I am starting to wonder if maybe she doesn't survive the season. I agree on Maggie. Her character is nothing now and the only reason they keep her is for the eye candy factor. I'm just waiting to see how and when they bring Morgan back into the show. They have to be going to use him somehow. Why else would he have gotten 30 seconds of air time in a couple of shows? Anybody else think they are about to turn Eugene into a certified bad ass? Was nice to see Abraham back to his old self again. I think he and Rick are going to do some major house cleaning in the season finale.

I know a little about the comics but not a whole lot. I know with Jessie's husband, they are following the script so to speak. Still, it irritates me a little how Hollywood always seems to want to portray the love interest's husband, wife or significant other with some kind of unacceptable flaw so that it's "okay" for the protagonist to "rescue" them. Honestly, Rick is a POS if he sleeps with her. So, the husband has to be a bad guy so the fanbase will ignore the adultery and let it be "okay" instead of seeing Rick for what he has become if he murders her husband and takes her.

What I'm interested to find out is how Deanna will soak all this in and react. Will she take the bait form the "angel of light," who ironically is actually Gabriel? He doesn't mention the unspeakable betrayal he committed. Or since Deanna is supposed to be good at reading people, will she figure out that Gabriel just "doesn't get it" when it comes to what has to happen out there?

i think Carol likes the Kid. I also believe Sasha is going to play a huge part with Her rifle in the tower

If you watched the "On the next Walking Dead" preview this is very clear.

Great episode except one thing....when you are in a revolving door, need to break the glass, AND YOU'VE GOT A GUN IN YOUR HANDS, what should you do?

Tell me they were out of bullets because I missed that if that's the case.

Glen and Noah were indeed out of ammo

I think she does too and doesn't want to get too close. If you think about her losing her kid, then the crazy girl and her sister, and then Beth (not really a kid but another young person she was close to). I'm guessing she doesn't want to get close to another young person so she can spare herself some pain if she loses them too.

May be right. About the only thing I am pretty much positive of now is I think this season finale is going to see a lot of people assume room temperature and I still think multiple regular cast members will be among that group.

Finally got caught up after slacking a couple of weeks. I thought Rick might cap the husband. He's definitely been outside too long and needs to re-acclimate. The group is stronger than the others, which is ironically the source of the problem with Alexandria. It sucks that it's all going to blow up.

Carol is definitely hard as steel now. Threatening the kid was way overboard. Basically, she's an overprotective grizzly bear when it comes to the group. I think she wants Rick to kill the husband based on what she went through.

I'm a little surprised they killed Noah so quickly after killing Beth. Figured he'd be around a little longer. But he was probably the most dispensable character from the group, so my feelings aren't hurt.

All of you rooting for Carl to die can just stop. He's every bit as much a central character as Rick. And he's not the whiny little bitch he was in season 2 either. The comics focus on him and Michonne as much as Rick, so those 3 are safe.

I definitely see a couple more big time deaths coming before the season is over. I think Sasha is on borrowed time for sure. And I figure at least one of Tara, Rosita, and Abraham bite the dust. Wouldn't be surprised to see Glenn and/or Maggie go, too.

The Preacher needs to be gutted by Rick or Maggie. He just doesn't get it. I might throw a party when he finally goes. I'm just hoping Dianna can see that he's a nut job who doesn't understand what it's really like.

I'm also rooting for Rick and the blonde to hook up. The show could use some more eye candy, especially if Sasha and 1-2 other females go soon. Fairly certain they're going to have Rick kill hubby, so that might complicate the situation, even if he really is beating her and the kid. Everything is about survival for Carl & Judith with Rick right now. I just hope he stops being a paranoid bastard soon. He really is psychotic right now.

I agree with WMD that the only characters that are safe are Rick, Carl, and Michonne. Likely, the only way one of them dies is if the actor wants off the show and will not be convinced otherwise.

Let me remind y'all of something knawing at the back of my mind as we approach the end of the season. Even I had kind of forgetten this.


Aaron WAS ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE GROUP FROM A DISTANCE with some tech assistance. All these plans Rick and crew are making may be well known by Deanna and her people. How is this going to end?

We know he did that while he was following them, but do we know that it's happening inside the walls?

Hail yeah! Way to take charge Michonne. Rick can try to convince himself he means well but he's been thinking with his dong for several episodes now.

He and Deanna are both wrong. She can't just look the other way and if Rick wants to be constable then lock Pete in a basement somewhere, figure out some way to have some sort of process and then lock him up a couple of years or some suitable time. You'be got be hard when dealing with the outside world but you Don't digress to murdering a man to take his wife. It's monstrous. So was Pete but punish him Don't murder him when you're real motivation (as revealed by Rick's own mouth) is p___y.

doesn't matter now. Rick's gone apechit.

Sets up great for the season finale. I hope we at least know where everyone stands by the end of the season.

I get the impression that Deanna's gonna exile him setting up a heck of a season six!

I guess they put a W in Rick's head and kick his ass out.

I would love for him to be exiled and team up with Morgan to take the place over. Carol would be their mole on the inside feeding them information and slipping them supplies along with Deanna's boy. She forces him to be the mule. Or while he is exiled the wolves attack and he is outside the gate and survives and is able to come in and help save the part of his crew that is still alive.

This is what I was thinking. Rick gets kicked out but the wolves attack and he comes in and saves some folks. Loses a few and gains a few. I think Sasha is gone. I think she went to the end like Michonne but went on over. She needs to go somewhere like Morgan did and just kill zombies.

I am wondering if Glenn or Maggie survives. Maggie is just not interesting now and Glenn is being too optimistic like Bob. I think Nicholas kills Glenn since he had Rick's hidden gun.

Morgan!!!!

I wasn't all that impressed.

I thought it was a great season finale. Sets up great for a war next season between Alexandria and the Wolves. You have Sasha and the preacher man finally getting their heads straight, Rick winning over the group, a shocked Morgan that just watched Rick execute a man in front of the man's wife, Cray Cray Carol, and we now know who the Wolves are. It's set up to be a great season with Rick being the enforcer and Deanna now having the conviction to rule with an iron fist.

My question, are there just 2 Wolves, or is this a big group?

Almost makes you wonder how those two could pull all of this off by themselves. I was not impressed by their encounter with Morgan. Even before went Samuel L. Jackson (Master Windu) on them, I was just not concerned about them.

I ****ing LOVED the season finale. Rick finally unlocks Boss Mode after putting it away for awhile. I'll admit, killing Pete was pretty monstrous, but you knew it was coming. And with Pete killing Deanna's husband, at least you can pretend it was done for the right reasons. Even if we the audience know part of him did it so he can hook up with Jessie.

The Nicholas-Glenn encounter was solid. Looks like maybe they've worked out their differences, even though it took Glenn getting shot. Also nice to see Maggie stepping up to do something besides provide eye candy for the first time in forever.

I really liked how they slow played Morgan's story over the course of the season. You know those Wolves clowns weren't going to kill him. It would've been a waste of a character that they've spent too much time hinting he'd eventually catch up with Rick. But like everyone else, I'm wondering when he trained at the Jedi Temple. He's a complete badass with that quarterstaff. They had me fooled thinking he was the guy in the red poncho that Darryl and Aaron were chasing. Then to have Morgan show up just in time to see Rick execute Pete.....Holy. Shit. Especially after we saw the note on his map that "the world will need Rick Grimes." Gotta think that's going to taint his view of Rick and all the time he spent tracking him down, especially with Rick looking all crazy after his fight with the Walker.

There have to be more than 2 Wolves. No way the two clowns we saw could set up that trap, carve the W into all the Walkers we've seen over the course of the season, etc. I'm pretty stoked for the eventual showdown between them and Rick's group at Alexandria. I'm mostly surprised no one died in the finale. I figured we'd lose at least one major character.

It's going to be a long damn 7 month wait for season 6 to start in October.

Morgan must have raided a Shao Lin monestary or something and studied up on all that to become someone who respects all life but is trained to take it from you in the blink of an eye. The next season needs to open up with Rick banging Jesse over the kitchen counter still covered in walked blood.

I do think there are more than two wolves. Those two were probably the ones exiled from the group and they started their own group. I don't think those two could enter a community like where Noah's family lived and take all of them out. I just wonder if they will stretch that out all season and have the final showdown be next year's season finale or end it sooner. Guess it could make a mid season finale.

I was surprised that Beth was the only main character to get killed this season. Makes me think they may make up for that next season. Or it could be that they caught so much backlash from killing her off they are taking a break from offing main characters. If they are staying in Alexandria next season they now have a huge stock of minor characters they can kill off at their leisure.

Sorry but Maggie ain't doing much for me in the eye candy area. Especially when she starts talking. Bloody Brits sound like wankas when they fake an American Southern accent. We need some upgrades. Beth was hotter than Maggie. They killed the wrong sister.

Can't argue with that. That may be why Daryl is always acting so mad. He came within about two more swings of moonshine from being able to tap that when she got kidnapped.

They had guns and Morgan only had a stick and he whipped their arshes. I think there are a group of them considering the wide spread the Zombies with the W are spread out.

The guns didn't have ammo though. It was just used for intimidation until the other guy could creep up behind him and club him.

Set up a prison in a subsistence society? I know somebody who's not going to be invited to be in my group after the zombie apocalypse.

Also, with something like 99% of the population killed off and made into zombies, I can forgive Rick if Judeo/Christian ethics don't seem very compelling to him and he just wants some ass. I'm thinking the zombie apocalypse might shake a lot of people's faith.

They need to find a middle ground. They didn't get nearly enough out of the Terminus story line to me. But they also can't spend an entire season foreshadowing a conflict that only happens in the last few episodes. Ideally, they'd bring the wolves story line to a close over the first half season while also setting up the major conflict for the second half of the season. That may burn through material too quickly though.

Sometime this summer. They've already committed to season one airing this summer and season two airing next summer. It's going to start in Los Angelos in the time where the epidemic was taking off, so sort of a prequel spin off although obviously it won't take long to catch up to where the Walking Dead started. They've also announced at least one actor from the Walking Dead that will be making an appearance. Can't remember who.

It will be interesting to see what character since Fear the Walking Dead is going to be set in Los Angeles. Bob maybe?
