OT: The Walking Dead Returns tonight

[AlanDawg]

Any predictions for this season?

Who is dying? Where is the group going?

 

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Predictions

Someone notable will die in the last episode of the season, but not rick or carl

They will walk around in the woods for 12 episodes.

Same as every other season

 

[WrapItDog]

They will walk around in the woods for 12 episodes.

Ah come on man. They occasionally walk into to town to find a warehouse full of canned food, bullets, gas, and a couple of auto batteries with a fresh charge.

 

[msstate7]

Just don't be Daryl

 

[msstate7]

Will they finally find Alexandria by the end of the season?

 

[tenureplan]

Carl will go into ***** mode once again this season

Well yeah. It's based on a comic book.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I'll assume not - really limits the creative license.

Will they finally find Alexandria by the end of the season?

Considering that (as far as I know) Rick's gang is still there in the comics. Lots more wandering around and hitting other locals and plot points from the books, I'd assume.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Tyreese it is...

unless they cut off his arm.

 

[msstate7]

unless they cut off his arm.

Please cut it off. He's one of my favorite characters

 

[PBRME]

***Spoiler Alert***

 

[msstate7]

Awful way to start off.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

From watching the TWD marathon over Christmas with my son (a huge WD fan), I have to wonder about a few things:
-How do those slow Walkers ever catch ANYBODY?
-Why isn't that tank used to ground the zombies into the dust?
-Why don't they simply stick a shiv into every Walker's head from the other side of the fence? Do it in shifts so you don't tire out, and save your bullets for the Gangs, Hoodlums, and anybody else attached to The Governor?

 

[drail14me]

Will they finally find Alexandria by the end of the season?

Yes, they will. I don't think it will be many more episodes until they do get there but they WILL get there this season.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Worst episode I've ever seen.
At least Better Call Saul was good.

 

[msstate7]

Show is set to run thru '22. I have a hard time seeing them keep it interesting that long

 

[Seinfeld]

Maybe it's just me, but I thought that there was some really good content during the first half of this season(Terminus, the church, and the hospital) that they just kinds blew through way too quickly. They could have made an entire season out of trying to escape from Terminus, but it almost seems like the writers pulled an audible at some point and tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.

As far as last night goes...

Noah deserves to have his *** beat
Beth's singing... gah
How did the zombie twin that was locked up suddenly get out? If they end up revealing that Noah opened the door, I swear

 

[LawDawg97]

You must've missed Season 2. There were some snoozers in there

Worst episode I've ever seen.
At least Better Call Saul was good.

I thought it was a great episode. Focus on a small group, explore a new area of the apocalypse, and kill off a major character in a sentimental sequence ("turn it off").

Most the reviews are either love it or hate it.

 

[GloryDawg]

I am waiting on Karl to bite the bullet. I think he takes away from the show.

 

[AFDawg]

I thought last night's was really well done. The back and forth with the pictures and dead characters, the radio news about Rwandaa, the flash-forward-and-back funeral to connect Beth and Tyreese--all of it was just really well done. I loved it. Best episode in a while (and I've liked this season in general).

 

[DudyDawg]

The show is kind of boring me lately. I'm sticking with it because, A, after so many seasons Im emotionally invested and B, after so many seasons Im too stubborn to admit i wasted time on it so I'm gonna hope it ratchets back up. The governor stuff was great, ever since that fight at the prison it's been boring to me. Wander around the woods, kill some zombies, one of them dies every few episodes, they add people to replace them. They need to get another human villain they can keep for a while.


And better call Saul looks like a keeper

They've got a spin-off show coming this year as well. It looks to be set in LA and supposedly will be set during the start of the outbreak. Will be interesting to see that part of the story.

Anybody know what's up with the half torsos?


Outside Noah's family's neighborhood, there were a bunch of lower bodies and limbs laying on the ground. Then in the truck Rick hit when they were trying to save Tyrese, a bunch of armless, legless torsos popped out.

So there is some psychopath out there cutting up zombies without killing them, and then collecting them? Surely something is going to come of that, right?

 

[msstate7]

Or maybe someone is killing people by cutting them in half. That allows them to turn, but essentially not be dangerous. Either way, there's some sickos out there. I'm sure we'll meet them soon

 

[tcdog70]

why do they always drive ****** vehicles. are there no hummers or badass 4x4s. everybody needs a sword, find an island, you dumbasses. the firetruck was a great vehicle, go find another one and mount a machine gun on the top.

The radio broadcast that played some during the episode mentioned that innocents had been attacked with a machete.

 

[AFDawg]

I'm pretty sure those radio broadcasts were talking about the Rwandaan genocide--but perhaps they are also pointing toward whoever made the armless half-zombies. They are certainly true to get us to make the connection between the walker-world horrors and the very real horrors of life as we know it now.

 

[LawDawg97]

The vehicle issue bugs me too. I understand why they can't go find an island or

a mansion to bunker down in, because that doesn't make for exciting TV. But damn, go find an army surplus and a Hummer dealership. Woody Harrelson's ride in Zombieland comes to mind.

 

[Drewbowski]

interesting note, those radio broadcasts was Andrew Lincoln speaking with his natural accent.

As far as the zombie twin, I think you answered your own question. One was probably locked up and the other loose in the house somewhere.

I'm claiming ship island if it happens to us anytime soon*

 

[johnson86-1]

Sucker...Cat is where it's at.

 

[mcdawg22]

Pensacola Beach. Houses on stilts, two ways on the island. Warm climate so the flies and maggots will take care of zombies in a couple of weeks.

That was done by a group of evil people and will be the next group that Rick and Co. have to face. They will be the ones that ransacked Noah's neighborhood.

As for the radio broadcast...the last part when Tyreese told them to turn it off was all the stuff he had done.

Correct. Hence the Wolves reference on the wall......

 

[Dawgg]

My prediction... last night I watched my last episode. There's just no redeeming quality to this show anymore.

It's just nihilism and despair.

I think I made my decision when Glenn asked "what will we do if it's not there?"

I'm like "what the hell do you think you're going to do? the same **** you've been doing for five seasons! Ok... I'm done."

Chill-it's a TV show--there ain't no zombies.. Did you quit watching Wily Coyote and the roadrunner

 

[AFDawg]

I didn't find it nihilistic at all. Tragic, yes--but the whole episode was Tyreese finding meaning as he dies.

Which was what?

 

[rugbdawg]

At this point, wouldn't all fossil fuels have degraded to the point that it is not combustible? What's it been, 3 years? If not, then there would still be no power to get the gas out of underground tanks. Did they address this already?
