The Walking Dead - Thoughts?

[hammerfan]

The last two episodes of Season four that have just aired have literally bored me shitless.Two hours of my life i will not get back.

Really?! I thought this past episode was very intense!

[newb]

Really?! I thought this past episode was very intense!

agreed......another WTF episode

[hammerfan]

agreed......another WTF episode

Yes! I have to say, though, I agree with what Carol did. I would have done the same thing.

[The Villain]

The last two episodes of Season four that have just aired have literally bored me shitless.Two hours of my life i will not get back.

Really the last episode bored you?

I think it was one of the best episodes they've ever done.

[Anthropophagus]

Not seen this weeks episode,i assume you are talking about that one,we in Blighty are a week behind you see.But the two before it where dull.

[Vodstok]

Your patience will be rewarded, although you might not see it that way. Super fucking intense.

[Despare]

I've dug the exposition, but I really liked this past episode.

SPOILERS


I especially liked the way Lizzy was so sorry... for pointing a gun at Carol and still had no idea what she had really done. Wife brought up a good point though, Lenny was happy when looking at her rabbits but Lizzy was still sad... still sorry. I wish she could have been happier.

[Giganticface]

Really the last episode bored you?

I think it was one of the best episodes they've ever done.

No doubt. One of the hardest hitting episodes yet.

[Anthropophagus]

Ok,i have seen the last episode,like i said we get it a week later than you guys.

Very intense as you said and very thought provoking.No more need to be said a cracking episode.

But it was needed as it was becoming lame again,every one being a repeat of the previous week.But the last one was a corker i agree.

[hammerfan]

Only two episodes left.....

[Vodstok]

Yeah, I'm simultaneously excited and disappointed. I hate the waits in between seasons, but I don't need the fucking stress for a full hour every god damn week.

[newb]

hoping for a hook-up this week of at least one of the "scattered" group.


gonna be tough to top last weeks heart-breaking episode....acting was top notch for all.

[Elvis_Christ]

So Terminus has got to be something sinister right?

[hammerfan]

So Terminus has got to be something sinister right?

That's what I'm thinking. Worse than the Governor.

[newb]

cannibals....perhaps

They will all sit down to a nice meal of "Beth-a-la-carte"

[Vodstok]

cannibals....perhaps

I'm seeing the same theory on Twitter, than we're going to find out that Beth is dead and the nice folks at Terminus ate her. That would be a shame, it was nice that she was actually a character for a change.

[cheebacheeba]

Yeah would be something of a shame, but it would further damage Daryl which is a character they seem pretty invested in developing.

It's not all that far fetched a theory - having read the comic (don't worry, no spoilers) from the beginning, time and again we've been showed that the living can be far more dangerous than the dead - and cannibalism has been explored as well, so yeah...could happen, with or without it being Beth.

On the other hand, could be just that that the "claimers" turn up and wreck everything...leading to some death, and a new core cast to be out in the cold, again.

I had no idea that was the chick from Star Trek.

Yeah, hanging out on the finale - I wish they'd stop splitting up seasons though, I'm really sick of all that shit.

[Baron Von Marlon]

I'm halfway through the 4th season.
I'm watching the second half as soon as the finale is released so I can watch the remaining episodes over a couple of days.

Anyway, I gotta rant.
What pisses me off the most are the stupid decisions made.
I know it's for the sake of the story and I tend to overthink things but it can be so annoying.
It already bothers me when it happens in movies.
But those are usually 90 to 120 minutes long.
Over the length of a whole series it's sometimes just too much for me.
Rant over. Until next week.

[hammerfan]

Except for the scene with the guys that Darryl ended up with, I thought the finale was a bit meh. I guess I'm used to them leaving it with a cliffhanger.

SPOILER
Although, we still don't know what happened to Beth.

[The Villain]

But they've never left the finale on a cliffhanger before. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 all wrapped up the arc they had been building up to. They left room for more but they never ended like this. I thought it was a great episode that built Rick back up as a leader instead of the farmer he turned into. I'm interested to see what they do with the Terminus storyline next season.

No just a diference of opinion. I'll admit I expected more

[newb]

nice to finally see Rick take control again.

next season should be a bloodbath

[Baron Von Marlon]

What a weak finale.
Half the episode was made up from flashbacks.

[cheebacheeba]

Yes, I didn't much like the finale...it was ok...

I'm a little confused about the "termites".
See, most of them seemed to be pretty reasonable.
They made sure not to shoot anybody, instead, "herded" them which only happened after a perceived act of aggression.

Though...they did have Glens things, and the regulars did run past what seemed to be a pit full of bones.
Could give some credence to the whole cannibal aspect, as could herding them, might be more of a "keep stock alive" type thing.

Then there's the signage at the memorial, things like "never again" and not to trust anyone, which implies more that THEY had been antagonised and lost their own in the past.
Though I suppose that could have lead them down a dark path, who knows.

Still no sign of Beth...though when they were running through, it did sound like someone was calling out for help.

It could be, they just have a zero tolerance policy against acts of aggression, and everyone that comes in is a bit on edge after the prison thing, and have managed to make the wrong impression - ending up with being put in the carriage, until they can be properly dealt with/reasoned with.

Who knows.
I mean I know we're supposed to think they're all evil cannibals or some such, and that may be true...but, I'd say there's a chance that's not the case.
There's also a good likelihood that they're split down the middle about how they live (resulting in new ongoing cast members), or that some of them are ignorant to any wrongdoing.

Will be interesting to see how it unwinds.

[Baron Von Marlon]

The Terminus Cult looks like a crazy bunch.
I don't think they actually take in outsiders because that's just more mouths to feed.

My guesses for the upcoming season
-I'm quite sure at least one cast member will get eaten. Could result in another 'quest for vengeance' storyline.
-They'll meet other prisoners and Beth will be among them.
-There was a spark earlier between Beth and Darryl so they're gonna continue that storyline some more before killing it off.

[neverending]

OCTOBER 12

That's the date season 5 starts.

I have been without cable tv, indeed any tv for quite some time, so I'm catching up on season 4 via Amazon instant video. I just watched the episode where Daryl and Beth burned down the house, which I found to be a very touching episode.

Still haven't seen the finale, so I don't know anything about terminus, but here's the season 5 trailer...

Cool, not too long a wait. I can live with that. Yes, that was a great episode! I think last season did some of the best character development of all the seasons -- very emotionally-driven. There's another episode that will blow your mind, but I can't remember if it's before or after that episode. (I think after.)

**SPOILERS**

Yeah, I was half expecting to find out Beth was eaten last season, but I think you're right -- they're going to want to get a little more out of the Beth/Darryl relationship.

[neverending]

SPOILERS



I'm all up to date, and I really liked this season. A lot of really major developments took place. I didn't find the finale' weak at all. There were only 3 flashbacks, and they were used to illustrate how past decisions are still affecting people as time marches on.

Rick really freaked me out in the finale'. I think he's borderline insane, to be honest. I thought so when he was having hallucinations around the time Lori died. You see that look he gets his eyes when things are about to go bad? The pure savagery with which he killed those two guys... my god! I'm not saying he shouldn't have done it, I'm just saying I think he's slipped over the edge a bit.

I'm not sure about the whole Terminus/cannibalism debate. There may be a bit of that in the works, but after watching the season 5 trailer, it's clear the Terminus leader wants everyone to head to D.C.

I don't think for a minute Beth is dead. They're just biding time to make her reunion have more impact.

Rick is a wildman. He may bide his time till the moment is right, and then strike- but he always wins in the end. He'll protect his unit to the very end, with few casualties.

[horcrux2007]

Eh... The Walking Dead isn't my cup of tea.

Great analysis. Totally agree, the season was great, finale was great, Rick is nutballs and a stud. Interesting thought on Terminus. I assumed for sure they were cannibals because of all those bones on the ground, but I also considered they could be animal bones. I haven't seen the season 5 trailer. My wife and I have made a point never to watch the trailers anymore, even the previews at the end of an episode. They just give too much away, like who's still alive and stuff.

[horcrux2007]

[The Hunted]

I like walking dead, but in the last season, I just found myself getting a bit bored with it, livened up near the end.

[tfantasy]

I LOVE TWD!!!!!!!! I just watched the latest season posted on Netflix instant so I am behind. Don't have cable tv......

[Monkey Astronaut]

"No Sanctuary" is an excellent start to season five and the gore throughout is superb.

SPOILERS

The second scene where the Terminus people were about to butcher Rick, Daryl, Glen and Bob was tense. Carol to the rescue is awesome and it was nice to see her disguise herself as a zombie. I don't think we've seen that since season one. Speaking of her character has grown a lot since then. The zombie on fire eating someone is one of the coolest visuals this show has done. Rick was a beast when he grabbed that guy's machine gun. Tyreese should have killed that guy first thing but seeing him tackle dude was great. Eugene is such a bullshitter. The reunion scenes at the end were genuinely touching. I'm honestly surprised they burned through the Terminus situation so quickly but I loved the pacing and I hope the rest of the season follows suit. It was fantastic to see Morgan return in the post credits scene.

[hammerfan]

I thought it was an excellent season opener! It had me on the edge of my seat the entire hour. Looking forward to this season. I think it's going to be the best one yet.

Apparently, I missed the bonus scene. Can you PM me and tell me about it?

[Rawhead Rex]

BEST SEASON OPENER THEY'VE EVER HAD!!!

SPOILERS!!!

So awesome...from stabby/shooty Rick, to bad ass/Rambette Carol throwing a giant sized monkey wrench into Terminus!!!
And cool at Tyreese beating dude to death...NICE!
MORGAN!!!
Everyone is reunited except for Beth...and she's with some cop lady that likes to argue and hit folk.
Can't wait or next week!!!

[DaisyChain]

I love Walking Dead! One of my favorite shows.

[The Hunted]

The latest episode for the newest season just regained my interests, great episode, fantastic start!

[Anthropophagus]

Agreed,a cracking start to the new series.But what did expect as it was directed by the awesome talent that is Greg Nicotero.

[neverending]

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. This was a perfect season opener- I just wonder how they're going to keep up this level of drama and action.

Also, I'm really glad to see Rick back in control. Andrew Lincoln is doing an amazing job.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 2 "Strangers" I was excited when I first heard that Seth Gilliam from The Wire was cast as Gabriel so I've been looking forward to this episode.

SPOILERS

It was much slower than the season premiere but I think that's to be expected. It did have a couple of tense scenes and put Carol and Daryl on the trail to find Beth. The zombies in the flooded basement scene looked great. Just when Bob starts to become likable he gets captured by cannibals.

[abcodi]

i stopped watching this series, last i watched was season 3 i think, i have a lot of catching up to do.

Yeah...real tough break for Bob...
And especially COLD at Gareth eating his cooked flesh right to his face and actually having the nerve to call him tasty.
That's just brutal.
But, I wonder...was Bob bitten when he was dragged underwater?
Why was he outside crying and why did he want "one more kiss" from Sasha.
He had a gun in his back belt...was he going to shoot himself after/during that cry he was having?
WHO KNOWS???
We'll find out!

[Monkey Astronaut]

SPOILERS

Episode 3 "Four Walls and a Roof" Loved the 'tainted meat' moment to open the episode. I like seeing Rick and Abraham butt heads. The scene where they slaughter the hunters was brutal although they deserved it. Michonne gets her sword back! RIP Bob Stookey. I liked seeing Tyreese step up for Sasha at the end. While I don't like seeing the group separated again the stories are generally better when they're not in a big group. Looking forward to finally seeing what happened to Beth next week.

[Rawhead Rex]

If they kill Carol, I'll frickin hate it!!!
I read somewhere that Beth was kidnapped because she's young, healthy...stressing on the word, young...as in, can get pregnant over and over again. Crazy people wanting to repopulate the world by force, if necessary.
That's why she wakes up in a hospital...babies get born in hospitals...even ones without power, it would seem.
If the theories are correct!
We'll see!
GREAT hacking, stabbing, and bludgeoning performance by Rick, Michonne, Abraham, and Sasha!!!
GREAT look of horror by Glenn, Maggie, and Tyrese!!!

[Angra]

First question: How was that cannibal guy from episode 1 still alive? I thought he got beaten to death by Big Black Guy in the cabin?

Second question: Who the hell is Beth?

[hammerfan]

Second question: Who the hell is Beth?

Haven't you been watching?! Beth is Maggie's sister!

[Angra]

Haven't you been watching?! Beth is Maggie's sister!

I don't remember her. At all. When did she disappear?

[hammerfan]

I don't remember her. At all. When did she disappear?

At the end of last season. She was with Darryl, and someone snatched her. The last thing he saw was a black car with a white cross painted on the back driving away with her. The same car he and Carol saw and took off after.

You don't remember all the scenes last season with her and Darryl?

Well, NOW I remember. Thank you.

Obviously not a very interesting character (Even less interesting than her sister). There was almost a love story going on between Darryl and her before she got kidnapped... Thank god she god kidnapped. :danger:

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 4 "Slabtown" was slow paced but it picks up toward the end of the episode.

SPOILER

It introduced us to a new and interesting group and finally revealed what happened to Beth. Nice to see Tyler James Williams show up as Noah. Not sure why Officer Dawn slapped Beth but she seems a bit crazy. Glad to see Officer Goreman get eaten. Beth really stepped up during the escape scenes. Nice to see her character finally have a backbone. The preview for next week looked good. It also looks like they are going to keep the reveal of who was with Daryl a mystery for a little longer.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 5 "Self Help"

SPOILERS

I wasn't expecting the bus to flip over or the reveal that Eugene sabotaged it. The Abraham flashbacks were interesting. I was pretty shocked that Eugene came clean to the group. Pretty satisfying seeing Abe knock him out. Great ending. Looking forward to seeing what happened to Carol and Daryl next week.

I'm pretty sure Eugene is dead.

Episode 6 "Consumed"

SPOILERS

Enjoyed the opening montage of what happened to Carol last season. Definitely wasn't expecting Noah to get the drop on Daryl and Carol like that. The van scene was tense and I was shocked they decided to go over the edge in it. The falling zombies made me laugh.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 7 "Crossed" The gore in this episode was superb.

SPOILER

The zombie remains at the FEMA sight looked great. Daryl ripping off the zombies head and using it as a weapon was pretty awesome. Not sure what to make of Gabriel escaping. Pretty good ending.

[neverending]

Well, I'm finally all current on this season. I like seeing how the different threads converge.

SPOILERS

















The reveal about Eugene took me by surprise. I knew he had some kind of secret, but that it was going to be not that he knew the cure, but that he WAS the cure- like he had some kind of blood immunity or something, so the find out he was a complete fraud was a shock.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 8 "Coda"

SPOILERS

Rick running down Sergeant Lamson with the cop car was great. Gabriel is such an ass for leading all those walkers back to the church. Michonne swinging around her katana with baby Judith strapped to her back. The zombie falling into the machete head first made me laugh. Fire Engine to the rescue great parking job Abe. Pretty satisfying seeing that cop get pushed down the elevator shaft. Wasn't expecting Beth to stab Dawn but if any character had to go I'm glad it wasn't Carol. Great Morgan scene at the end. Looking forward to him reuniting with the group.

HOLY FUCK MAN.... HO---LEE FUCK!

I knew somebody had to die, but I was sure it was gonna be Carol.

Fingers crossed.

As for Beth,i fancied her so was gutted with the ending.:shocked:

[Angra]

So now there's a 2 month pause in the middle of the season? WHY?!! ::mad::

[vampyd1977]

i liked it when it started but its just so painfully slow.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I posted a mini review in the TV topic.

http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php?p=986228&postcount=7175

I didn't like the ending at all. I'm not going to watch the show anymore.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 9 "What Happened and What's Going On" very depressing episode.

SPOILERS...

I thought the skeleton with the flowers and grass growing out of it was a cool visual. How devastating for Noah to return home and find his neighborhood decimated like that. I thought Tyler James Williams gave a great performance portraying that shock and grief. Nice to see Tyreese step up to support him. I was shocked and disappointed to see Tyreese actually get bit. Nice to see so many dead characters show up in this episode. Beth singing kind of made me sad though. The gore in this episode as per usual looked incredible especially the slow motion stuff towards the end. Crashing into the back of the truck with all the zombie parts falling out was crazy. I genuinely thought Tyreese was going to make it there for awhile. Pretty heartbreaking that he didn't survive.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I didn't watch. Only read some forum posts and reviews. I'm glad I'm out on the show. The new horror rule of only so many of a certain character is stupid and the deaths aren't shocking when that happens.

[Anthropophagus]

The new episode has got to be one of the worst opening shows to a season ever.Correction,it was the worst.I hit the fast forward button more times yesterday than through any of the previous episodes.

If this is a taster then i doubt i will be sticking with it for much longer.

It was a sad episode!! I too thought that Tyreese was going to pull through. I liked how all the dead people came back and were like guiding him through his passing. Very heart felt episode IMO.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 10 "Them"

SPOILERS...

Kind of a boring episode but it had a lot of good character work. Norman Reedus eating a live earthworm is one of the grossest things this show has done. I thought the scene with everyone coming together to hold the barn door closed was good though. All the zombies being crushed by the storm was pretty crazy. I like the symbolism with the music box. Aaron shows up!

[TheBossInTheWall]

Haven't seen episode 10 so ignoring those posts for now. Anyway...

I think i'm about 90% sure i'm going to stop watching. I understand its a terrible existence. Its incredibly hard, depressing, etc. But its become annoying, not moving or powerful, or depressing in a worth watching sort of way. The constant shit that happens over and over is just annoying. Its not fun or engrossing its just waiting to see what the next shitty thing to happen is, its not dreading it or hoping for it. So yeah I think i'm going to be passing on the rest of the episodes. Death of Beth had me almost to the edge, now Tyreese, i'm irritated, not angry he's dead. Irritation does not make for good film/tv/books.

[Anthropophagus]

I cannot see me watching this for much longer unless they do something different.They have been stuck on that same fecking road for three seasons now and it must be the longest road in the world,either that or the producers live there and cant be arsed shooting anywhere else.

It is boring and dull and tedious.Hopefully the next episode might twist in a different direction,if not then i`m afraid the dead shall have rot on their own without me.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 11 "The Distance"

SPOILERS

I laughed when Rick one punch KOed Aaron during his pitch. Rick ain't messing around anymore! I hate applesauce too. Return of the RV. Glenn driving through all those zombies was an epic splatter fest. Rick shooting that walker in the face with the flare gun was awesome. Looking forward to Alexandria.

[Raegan]

Well they're finally back on the comic book track so when I saw Aaron I was stoked......Rick needs to chill but again they shit they've been through idk I guess I don't blame him. And now they are in my hood :) Alexandria ::big grin::

[hammerfan]

Since I don't read the comics, I'm curious to see where it goes from here.

[NightOfTheLiving_Sam]

I prefer the comic of the TV series for some reason. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels that way or not but I just can't get into watching this TV series for the life of me. I've watched the first 2 seasons and than I dropped it. The comic is much different than the series. I'm glad for those who still do enjoy it though but I just can't get into it but I'm not going to hate on the show or anything cause I know there's thousands of fans out there. So it has to be doing something right.

[Angra]

I'm getting a little tired of all the derailments. Gives the impression that the writers have no idea where to go with this story.

totally agree-the last two seasons I had to force myself to watch, wasn't excited at all-Im just now looking forward once I saw Aaron, the comics are so good, way better and heavier than the show. Hopefully they will stick to the comics but it does seem all they do is draw out the episodes, for me I noticed that with the Governor going face to face with Rick. Zzzzzzzzz

I just hope he turns out to be yet another two-faced asshole. ::devil::

But maybe we get to see some juicy gay sex. Yay! lol

[anglewitch]

Since I don't read the comics, I'm curious to see where it goes from here.

Same with me.

Episode 12 "Remember"

SPOILERS

Daryl's "we brought dinner line" cracked me up. I thought the interview scenes with Deanna were pretty good. Kind of crazy to see Andrew Lincoln clean shaven at this point. Daryl still carrying around that possum during his interview. I love the banter between Daryl and Carol. Not a good sign someone found the pistol Rick stashed. Aiden is a douche loved that Glenn got a punch in. Constables Rick and Michonne! I punched the air and shouted hell yeah when Rick said "we'll take this place".

[The Villain]

SPOILERS


I like where they're taking this season. Kinda seems like a mix of the farm and the prison storylines. I know that doesn't really sound all that good but it's different then the way those storys played out. At the very least i'm interested to see how it plays out. Rick looks so weird without the beard. I love that Daryl is the one whose still skeptical about the town to the point of not even showering. Loved that Glenn knocked that fucker out.

I wonder if the teenage girl in the new place saw him place it there on one of her excursions. I REALLY hope they don't have her use it accidentally or intentionally killing someone. Been done and redone too much in tv/film.

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 13 "Forget"

SPOILERS

Sasha in sniper mode was bad ass but her detachment is kind of freaky. Interesting watching her try to deal with PTSD though. Wonder who carved a 'W' into that walkers forehead. Weird seeing Michonne in a uniform. Love Carol pretending to be all suburban house wife. Buttons! Abe is a philosophical drunk. Carol was creepy as hell when that kid caught her.

[Damn Heathen]

The "W" stands for "weaksauce".

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 14 "Spend"

SPOILERS

Excellent Seth Gilliam scene to open the episode and easily his best so far. I liked seeing Noah want to learn how to build stuff. Great seeing Glenn lead a supply run with the new group. Eugene finally being useful. Of course Aiden is the one who blows up a grenade and gets himself killed. Carol is crazy mean to little Sam. Abraham is a beast but he has the worst catchphrase. Kind of awesome seeing Eugene step up to protect Tara and try to rescue the rest of the group. Loved seeing Francine punch that guy in the face. Nicholas is a piece of shit and it was really satisfying seeing Glenn knock him out. Wow wasn't expecting Noah to get eaten but the gore was spectacular. Gabriel is crazy and a snitch, what a bad time for Glenn to pull up. Looking forward to how Rick and Carol deal with the Pete situation.

[Rawhead Rex]

I knew Noah was a goner...right from the get go...
When they focused on him wanting to be an architect...especially when Tara jumped on his back a little and hugged him...
Bad omens.
Just blend in...don't get too noticed...remain vigilant, remain aware...
But have no focus on you!
They focus on Beth, she's dead.
They focus on Bob, he's dead.
They focus on Tyrese, he's dead.
They focus on Noah, he's dead.
Shit's gonna hit the fan soon...Rick's gonna kill their only doctor cuz he's beating his wife and kid.
AND THE WOLVES ARE NEAR!!!

[Monkey Astronaut]

Episode 15 "Try"

SPOILERS

Nice montage to a Nine Inch Nails song to open the episode. Nicholas is scum and I liked seeing Glenn confront him especially after he fed those lies to Deanna. Sasha, Michonne and Rosita were all pretty bad ass. The gore on the woman tied to the tree looked phenomenal. Pete is creepy as hell and the scene where he fights Rick was great. Rick losing it again and Michonne knocking him out made me laugh.

[Anchen]

So I initially stopped watching after the snoozefest that was season 1, because I loathed the cast and hoped 90 per cent of them WOULD get eaten by zombies.
And those were supposed to be the GOOD guys.
I missed the atmosphere and creep-factor that kept me turning the pages of amazing comics and playing Telltales video games.

Buuuut there always comes a time when you've run out of the good shows and turn back to the bad, so I skipped some episodes and BAM - now we're talking.

Finally they're implementing the most disgusting and savage human behavior that WOULD be a fact should a zombie apocalypse hit us.

Excuse me, of course I mean WHEN the zombie apocalypse hits us ::wink::

Episode 16 "Conquer"

SPOILERS

Glad to see Lennie James finally show up again and it was great to see him kick some ass. So that was our actual introduction to The Wolves Epic trap that Daryl and Aaron fell into and seeing Daryl use a chain to decapitate three zombies was awesome. Carol was excellent in this especially when she tells Pete "Come at me". Can't believe Nicholas shot Glenn! Very cool that Morgan was the one to save Daryl and Aaron. Superb gore in the scene where Gabriel decapitates the walker with the noose around its neck. Rick pushing his gun up into that walker's face before shooting it looked amazing. Very satisfying seeing Glenn beat up Nicholas and was disappointed that Glenn chose not to kill him. Another good speech from Rick at the end. Pete showing up and killing Deanna's husband was unexpected. I loved that Deanna told Rick to put him down. Morgan and Rick reunited! Loved the symbolism of Michonne taking the katana back down from the wall.

[Damn Heathen]

Superb gore? Okay, perhaps I'll watch it.

[Angra]

What a mess of an episode..

A sad way to end the season.

[Rawhead Rex]

Great ending...had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time...
At one point, when Rick was fighting the 3 walkers and Glenn was fighting Nicholas...I couldn't even sit down.
That's good TV!

[Baron Von Marlon]

I binged the last season over the last couple of days.
It definitely was better than the previous one.
But after watching Z-Nation I have troubling adapting to the drama.
Also after 5 seasons it's getting a bit repetitive. And it's making me care less and less.

And what's the deal with all those stupid nicknames for zombies?!
Why doesn't anyone call them what they actually are?

Episode 16 "Conquer"

SPOILERS

Loved the symbolism of Michonne taking the katana back down from the wall.

Must have missed that bit. Or was it after the credits?
Because I thought that Pete guy used her sword to kill that older guy.?
Or I wasn't paying attention for a moment...

[Anthropophagus]

For quite some time i actually loved the series finale.I enjoyed every minute of this episode,something which i have been struggling with for a while now but yesterday when i watched it brought hope for the continuing saga.

[Vig]

I was quite disappointed with the finale. There was a lot of build up through out the last few episodes for something big to happen. But once we got there, nothing happened. They put several of the characters in situations where you felt one of them at least wouldn't make it out
alive but of course, they all did. It's bullshit in my opinion on the writer's part. This also isn't the first time they've done this on the show.

I'm still pissed about the prison finale with The Governor.

[FryeDwight]

Wife and I binged watched this on DVD when released and now watching it again. Personally thought this was an EXCELLENT season and a big improvement over #4, although that wasn't bad either. One of my favorite shows, ever.

[Frank Lefanu]

I find most horror based tv shows, this one included, to be tailor made for people who don't watch horror. Nothing close to horror. It's a soap opera where powerless zombies occasionally show up and cause minor inconvenience.

I have to agree. The Walking Dead is a good show due to acting, sets/locations, and story. The walking dead could be gangs of violent people or dangerous walking mushrooms. I wonder how easy it would be, though, to sustain dread and uneasiness with each episode. The Killing sort of did, but it wasn't horror.
American Horror Story is just bad and not horror. True Blood isn't horror most of the time, just a drama tv show except taking various aspects to more and more extremes. The first season small, the last much much bigger. A couple of X-files episodes were horror, but not part of a consistent story. Friday the 13th the Series was often horror, but no consistent story. So it was just like having a different horror short each week. Penny Dreadful is an amazing show, but there's no dread to it.
Though there was that one british show about people being turn to stone I think? And if you touched the stone you'd get a shock of who the person was. That was fairly creepy.

[Morningriser]

Everyone ready for tonight?

This has got to be one of the smartest posts on this subject i have read.Spot on Frank and well observed.

[Morningriser]

As an avid horror fan, it takes a lot to scare me or make me feel uncomfortable. TWD doesn't get to me but that doesn't mean a lot. The gore is usually pretty sweet for television though. I will say I wish the show was more like the comics but I could never see them letting Carl lose an eye without some group of assholes having an issue with it and claiming child abuse.

[Vodstok]

I like it. There are just enough characters that I like to keep me glued (Michonne, Daryl, Glen, Maggie and god help me Rick)

I like that I get several episodes-worth of good old fashioned zombie horror every year. It's like Lootcrate for Romero fans. I think people that bitch about it but claim to like zombie movies overlook the low points of actual zombie movies. A lot of the acting/characters/plots of zombie fiction are dogshit. Most even.

But TWD tries to keep it fresh, which in itself is admirable. It's the show I've wanted since I got into zombie horror in 1995

[Angra]

Unless the audience at some point loses interest I don't how this show will ever end.

It's the same things happening over and over again while the story is pretty much going nowhere. I'm still watching it tho, coz I think it's a good show. Just sayin..

[Anthropophagus]

I`m the same Angra,i keep watching but it doesnt have the hold as it once had on me.Gore aside it can get boring and yesterdays first episode was same old same old.But i`ll keep watching because................i love horror.

And although there another thread i will just add that i much prefer Z-Nation.Yes it is quirky and more humorous and a budget difference but i find the whole saga much more interesting to watch that TWD.Murphy in particualr is a dream of a character.I love that guy.

[Morningriser]

Without spoiling anything for those who missed the season premiere, I hope that INSANE sight we saw in the opening segment is among the last episode or 2 from the season finale and the black and white backstory scenes keeps coming with small scenes here and there from the present and the two meet each other eventually.

!!!SPOILERS BELOW!!!

Highlight to view
Does anything this will be the season where we meet Negan? The creators have already confirmed he is coming and last season we saw Glen with the ball bat and many believe he was at Terminus when the others were. I was thinking he could have been the one sounding that horn.End of spoiler

Might be the dead guy lying on top of him who's getting eaten, but I hope not.

[Morningriser]

Glenn isn't dead. First of all the face he is making isn't that of someone being eaten alive. He isn't screaming he is struggling to get free and with that much gore he would have been spitting up blood big time. Glenn is fine.

[Anthropophagus]

Last weeks episode with the heard gave me new hope with my love hate relationship with TWD.Last week was awesome,gripping and i was glued to the very end.

Alas this week we have gone back to the Little House on the Praire soap opera.Some say it is interesting to see Morgans back ground,i dont care personally.If they are going to start doing this with every character than it is going to be bye bye from me.I hope that this was just a one off.Otherwise i will stick to Z-Nation.At least that tries to be different.

[Morningriser]

anyone going to watch the midseason finale tonight?

[Ms.Macabre_91]

Hell to the yeah! I can't wait to see what happens next.

[Morningriser]

well I know 1 thing that will happen but am excited about the rest

[Angra]

Disappointing.. nobody died.

[Ms.Macabre_91]

Didn't Deanna die?

[Angra]

Didn't Deanna die?

Nobody died.

[Morningriser]

They didn't show Deanna die but you know she did/is going to. She was bit and had more walkers coming at her than she had bullets for.

I am a little disappointed that son of porchdick didn't shoot Carl's eye out yet and Morgan is a cunt.

[cheebacheeba]

I don't know...I mean I'd say the show has taken on its own path enough for this not to necessarily happen, or to happen, but not necessarily to the person we think it will happen to.
I'm sure it's a scene that will happen to some extent, but yeah...while the show has loosely paralleled the comic, a lot of different things have happened.
I mean. Andrea and Judith. Swapping fates essentially.
Tyrese being gone already. Daryl even existing.
It's not without it's changes, and often pretty big ones.

[Angra]

Deanna turning and eating the baby would've been a nice shocker. Why is that baby even there? It does nothing to the story, unless we have so many seasons left it eventually ends up saving the world. If not, kill it.

We don't need babies in this show. It's not Full House. Yet.

[cheebacheeba]

I still expect Carl to get shot and Rick's new girlfriend is going to need a hand in the next episode...

Yes, I expect the eye or the hand...probably the eye for shock value and cliffhanger bait, as it was in the comic, as the show LOVES to do.

[Morningriser]

A friend of mine had a theory for when the time comes for the show to end. He suggested what if Judith and Maggie and Glenn's baby, being conceived and born after the apocalypse started would somehow not be infected and their blood would hold some kind of cure or the children that are born after have to repopulate the earth?

I imagine a lot of kiddie orgies will be popping up everywhere like in Cherry Falls lol

[Ms.Macabre_91]

I just figure with the new babies popping up that at the end of the series they would do a little epilogue after the credits where they show them grown up and a little better off while they remember what their parents did for them to ensure their survival.

I've had enough again. Going no where show. I hated the tease for next season. More crazy people. I'm starting to think that this show might be damaging to society as it feels like it promotes a crazy time with no laws and no law enforcement.

[Despare]

Judith has been dead in the comics for a while, maybe they're saving her death...

Lori was shot running from the prison, fell, and crushed Judith. BLOODBATH

[Angra]

Nice. ::devil::

[Psxpetey]

not really a horror if you asked me

[Chevalier]

I watched the first few seasons of Walking Dead, but stopped watching last year, because of time commitments. I enjoyed seasons one through three, but I found two really lacked the same kind of punch as season 1.

[MichaelMyers]

They didn't show Deanna die but you know she did/is going to. She was bit and had more walkers coming at her than she had bullets for.

I am a little disappointed that son of porchdick didn't shoot Carl's eye out yet and Morgan is a cunt.

Morgan is one of the few characters with any depth. Problem with Walking Dead now is half the cast needs to die. Eugene, the Governor's old sidekick, Gabriel, etc. are shallow characters viewers are supposed to care about. The show kills off a major character and introduces five more.

I agree Judith has the cure.

[MichaelMyers]

Eye really enjoyed this episode!

[MichaelMyers]

But kind of tired of Glenn and his last-second saves. Why couldn't the Wolf catch any of those breaks?

[hammerfan]

Best. Episode. Yet.

[Angra]

Nice. A whole family got annihilated and there was eye candy. Certainly one of the better episodes.

But for the hell of it, let's nitpick.

Is Daryl's bazooka silenced? And how did he get it?

How big is Alexandria really? Rick's group walk out, covered in goo, in bright daylight and is still walking around town after dark. ::roll eyes::

[Anthropophagus]

Shot in the eye and lives,would the bullet not have gone right through his skull?

I too am sick of the near misses and escapes Glenn has,i want his lottery numbers.

Bored to death of the priest and Morgan.

I found the opener ok,nothing that hasn't been seen before,and i don't doubt it will follow the same paths as before,more boredom before the season ending then something happens.But like the sucker i am i keep watching.

[Angra]

Shot in the eye and lives,would the bullet not have gone right through his skull?

.

And wouldn't it have killed him? The bullet hole was freakin huge!

Also, how did Glenn get saved without getting a single hit? All the zombies was shot down by machineguns and we all know that zombies need to be hit in the head to "die"... Nice job.

[MichaelMyers]

Well....I guess Michonne is next in line to die.

[hammerfan]

Well....I guess Michonne is next in line to die.

Hahahaha! I never thought of that!

By the way, has the baby gotten a year older since last episode? Damn... That's a HUGE bitch! ::big grin::

Exactly as i mentioned earlier.A crap episode just as i expected.They start off with a good opener to the season then leave you waiting till the end.In between is dross.

[Angra]

What's with all the sex all of a sudden? That's not good tv..

Diiiiiiiiie damn it!!!

[jwilliams]

Okay, I've got two options about the events of the next episode.
First- someone will die, during their meeting with Negan. Probably Abraham(too much sudden thoughts about family etc.) or Glenn.
Second- it will be another episode "about other group members" type.

[Anthropophagus]

To be honest i don't mind if they all died and started afresh.With the exception of Darryl and Abraham,one or two others the rest can go.I`m bored with the rest of them.

[jwilliams]

I think Maggie's going to die
Hmm, assuming they didn't kill Judith(in comics she died at the end of prison arc) and Meggy is pregnant... yeah,her death is also possible.

[cheebacheeba]

Lauren Cohan is so much hotter when she's dirty.
Just saying...she's a pretty hot chick either way, but in the show, vs in interviews where she looks admittedly stunning - I'd take the dirty, messy haired version any day.
...not to mention her actual accent just kind of makes her seem a little less approachable. This is of course, a ridiculous pre conception of an idea, but in my brain, that is, the way it is.

Show otherwise, is proceeding well - with the storyline proceeding as it has been, we are on the verge of some very big things.

That is all.

[hammerfan]

That is all.

Those of you that are reading/have read the comics know what's coming up! I have no clue! I think that makes it more exciting. Just like Game of Thrones. I have the books, haven't read them yet, will probably wait until the show is over.

[cheebacheeba]

It's funny though, but with how the comic has proceeded through events, there's only really maybe enough material to base another season, maybe season and a half after this one on - then assuming the show continues, it'll be in completely new territory, now this I look forward to.

[Anthropophagus]

Although i keep watching it i would`nt be bothered if the series did end.Time to move on from zombies .

[ImmortalSlasher]

I watched the episode a week or so ago called "Not Tomorrow Yet." I've read a few posts and reviews saying it was tense and good. But I still don't know why people continue to watch this show. All the bad guys are still crazy people. I know Night of the Living Dead showed that people could be more dangerous than zombies. But still it seems to be the same show from when I stopped watching a few seasons ago. I guess people watch just to see which popular character will die next.

[Anthropophagus]

To the shows credit the last two episodes have been very good.Last weeks attack on the other group and this weeks capture of Carol and Maggie,both have been quite intense which i much prefer,the zombie thing becomes boring so this adds a new flavour to the pot.

[hammerfan]

I was shocked at the death last night. Was not expecting it. Shame, I liked that character. Also, was not expecting how it ended.

Next week looks good.

As a fan of the comic book, I can't wait to see Negan show up in the finale.
I'm not sure if his first scene is gonna be the same as the comic, but if it is, I hope they don't hold back!!

Because the show has changed several things from the comic book, I'm very nervous for all the characters I like on the show who may not be as likable or where dead at this point in the comic.

I feel like even thought The Walking Dead has a lot of narrative flaws. No other show other than Game of Thrones is as intense, and that's what keeps me coming back for more!

Also, cool action and gore.

[Baron Von Marlon]

Done with this season. Some thoughts:

-Bothered me a lot that they didn't set the zombies in the quarry on fire.
It's a dry place, the dead wear still clothing so why not make some petrol bombs, couple flaming arrows and bam! Got yourself a ZBBQ.

-I think I laughed when the little kid got eaten. Not sure but I definitely was pleased.

-The finale was disappointing. Drive, stop, repeat and then what looks like biker gang. What happened to those Wolves? Weren't they closer to Alexandria?

-Overal, it's getting quite repetitive and boring.
I pick Z Nation over TWD any time. Less drama, more fun and it's actually about zombies.

[Angra]

I think it's either Glenn or Daryl

Oh for the love of god, let it be Glenn!!!

I find it odd if they decide to kill off one of the main characters without showing it as a cliffhanger. No, this reminds me of the episode which ended with Glenn surrounded by zombies with a dead dude on top of him, and sadly we all know how that went.

[hammerfan]

Its going to be Carl.

[Angra]

I think it's quite obvious it was the cameraman who got it.

[Baron Von Marlon]

How about he kills everyone and rest of the show's about Negan and his gang.
After a season or so he runs in the Z Nation gang and dies. They steal the budget from his series and turn Z Nation into an even better show.

[ImmortalSlasher]

Many people seem to be pissed about the ending and last episode. So I watched the ending. I like the actor as he was in Supernatural and a few other non-horror shows and movies. You can tell he was enjoying his introduction and scene. But this show does completely suck for pulling that cheap, watch next season move. I'm glad I don't watch this show anymore.

Fear the Walking Dead is a lot better. Even if they did something incredibly stupid with the radio. I mentioned how Walking Dead makes it seem like society is lost without law enforcement. But when you are on your own, with little to no food, with few weapons, and society is collapsing. Common sense says to be careful and wary of who you are dealing with until you find some kind of law or deal with people as a group. Now it seems like the obvious is about to happen. Which might make me stop watching this show too.

Well, if it stays true to the comic books, it's Glen. Also, if you listen to the audio file that's floating around on the internet, it sounds like it's Glen.

I don't care what other people think about the show, I will always be a die hard fan!! ::love::::love::

[Morningriser]

I found the season finale as a reminder of how ridiculous humanity has become when people seem to be more concerned about a fictional television show than the fact that Donald Trump will most likely be president. We are losing people to stupidity.

With that said, I bet it is Daryl.

[jackbuzz]

I haven't watched The Walking Dead yet. But yesterday i have heard about my friend. he was telling me about walking dead, that was awesome and interesting show.

I would like to watch Walking dead tonight. ::cool::

[FryeDwight]

Wife and I super binged the DVD over the weekend. While there are some slow parts and way too many characters, still think it's an awesome show...definitely one of our favorites.

Hope they finally kill Glenn.

After browsing through Instagram this morning, I'm pretty sure I know who Negan killed.

Yeah, I was disappointed. I'm hoping that I'm wrong. I don't like spoilers.

Glenn had nine lives, he cashed them all in.

I really thought Rick was going to cut off his own arm and offer it to Negan.

I think it was more like setting up The Kingdom and King Ezekial, letting us know who they are. For those of us who have never read the comic.

This is coming from the perspective of a person that has not read the comics.

I'm digging it a lot so far. However: I'm getting a bit bored with Negan. Personally, I want to see more of The Kingdom. I'm intrigued by King Ezekiel.

[MichaelMyers]

Interesting....trouble in paradise?

The Walking Dead has had its fair share of ups and downs this season, and I’m not even just talking about the characters on the show. Since the premier of season 7 with the episode “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” everyone and their mama has made their way to Twitter, Facebook and any available social media under the sun to say what they thought about the show.

Most of the outcry has been of the show’s apparent amp up in violence with the brutal killing of two character favorites, Glenn and Abraham. Well, it seems the squeaky wheels have gotten their oil: The Walking Dead is toning down its violence for the second half of the season and onward.

After a drastic drop in ratings compared to past seasons, the producers decided to listen to what people were saying. According to Variety, the executive producer Gale Ann Hurd confirmed it during a panel at the NATPE conference. “We were able to look at the feedback on the level of violence. We did tone it down for episodes we were still filming for later on in the season,” she stated.

Fans of The Walking Dead may have seen the word “torture porn” thrown around a lot in many open discussions and comments. Hurd went so far as to calm down the accusations saying that “this is not a show that is torture porn.” They have drawn their line in the sand and want to make sure not to cross it.

As Negan said...You buncha pussies...

Second half of the season will be people complaining theres not enough gore. Ive never seen a show that people claim to love get hated on so frequently

Hearing this show is really spinning its wheels now.

Big fan of TWD here - although this season has been extremely frustrating!

I can't believe next week is the season finale! And, you KNOW they're going to leave it on a cliffhanger!

Weak sauce. Are these the people who put on a Pauly Shore-film expecting something serious?::big grin::

LOVED the season finale! Bring on season 8!

[Baron Von Marlon]

So... Much... Drama!

Can't wait for Z Nation to return.

Great finale...so much turnabout.
Still wanna see that moustache idiot die.

Yup, I'm about done with this show. Starting to loathe everyone.

[Baron Von Marlon]

Also, this was the 7th season and no one has used the word zombie yet.
Almost like if someone should say it, the Walking Dead universe will implode and cease to exist.

If you ever see interviews with Nicotero, Gimple, Huth, or Kirkman, you never will. They will always be referred to as walkers.

I got no idea who those people are ::big grin::
If they're actors, they'll probably get fined or fired if they use the word.
Wish someone would crash a recording, run through the set and yell
"Zombieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!" from the top of his lungs.

[The Villain]

I thought the finale was knda weak

[Scalper]

On the days me wife and I watch the show; before it starts, I often jokingly call her saying "The boring dead is starting."

The show really became a snoozefest. However, I have to admit it has its moments, but those are becoming less and less each season.

This season finale was like chickens with guns running around shooting at each other. And leading to it a lot of staring and talking about nothingness. A total mess.

I like the comic better. Way better.

Then again I'll be watching next season. I always hope the show gets better. ;)

[FryeDwight]

Got the DVD set on Saturday and wife and I are currently up to Third Disc, second Episode. While I'm liking it (Really intense opener), am finding there's too many people to keep up with, Negan is really too broad and find it hard to believe a badass like Rick could roll over and show his belly so easily. However, do like the King and Shiva (think my Black Cat could be her) and sure the action will amp up...let's hope.

[FryeDwight]

Finished it this weekend and while it did get better, probably the least of the series so far. Kind of like DEXTER...thought the first five seasons were fantastic than a really weak next season that picked up. Hopefully Season 8 of TWD will get back to those past glories

[Sculpt]

Who's seen these last two eps for Season 9?


Ep 1 "A New Beginning" October 21, 2018

"Eighteen months after Negan's defeat, the various communities are working on rebuilding society, however, the Sanctuary suffers from infertile ground and underlying support for Negan. Rick leads a trek to a Washington, D.C. museum to recover pioneering supplies."

It wasn't a particularly exciting ep to start the season, that's for sure. It's setting the big picture, and it's interesting to see if "Carl's Way" can work in this environment over the Negan way.


Ep 2 "The Bridge" October 14, 2018

"the communities work together to repair the bridge"

This ep was relatively low key too. Nothing new or exciting. I mean I know it's Season 9 and all, but the day-to-day stuff here seems really mundane. At least they have a little Negan time at the end. They should have started with that in ep 1.

[LuvablePsycho]

I watched a couple of episodes of the show and didn't really like it.

I think a zombie apocalypse works better in a movie or video game not a TV show. ::wink::

It's really character driven, as you'd expect from a successful 9 season show, but at times during series the content and plot are riveting.

Which two eps did you see? Was it the first two of season one?

There's a lot of characters to digest in those early eps, but I think it does give you a flavor of the format. It really focuses pretty quick after the first few eps.

It's a cultural phenomena, which always has some extra value. And I know you like the genre in general. I might recommend you watch the entire 1st season just to see how it shapes up, and see if you like it, because it does change and focus after those first 2 eps.

Overall in the series, it fluctuates for sure as to how good it is at times. But I've been interested enough to see the whole series.

I don't really remember which episodes I saw but I remember bits and pieces of the scenes. One was about a group of survivors trying to turn an abandoned prison into a shelter and one I think was about a group of people trapped in a building trying to make it out of the city (I think it was Atlanta but I'm not sure) . There was also a black woman slicing zombies up with a katana which I thought looked so ridiculous, and one episode had a town of people protected from the zombies who were using them for fun and a female character was critisizing a man about how dangerous it is to play around with the zombies. There was also a scene with a redneck being racist to an Asian guy and later he had him captured like he was trying to torture him or something.

That's all I really remember about what I saw of the show.

[hammerfan]

I stopped watching in season 8. Got very bored with it.

[LuvablePsycho]

I think some parts of it felt too much like Land of the Dead to me.

I like realistic zombie stories about ordinary people fighting to stay alive (and soldiers can be ordinary people too when they aren't portrayed as action heroes).

No large settlements of human survivors, no customized armor vehicles made out of junkyard parts, and no killing zombies with silly weapons like harpoon guns or katanas (unless the person picks it up because nothing else is available not because they want to "look cool").

At first I wondered if it would be like Land of the Dead, but in essence it's very different. For one thing it's not about zombie evolution or class divide. It's about the main characters, ensemble cast. They'll run into leaders of various types, but it's always up close and personal.

"I like realistic zombie stories about ordinary people fighting to stay alive" -- Walking Dead is exactly that, but might not be your cup of tea.

In the Walking Dead, zombies are attracted by sound over distances, (and visually too), so you don't want to shoot a gun unless you have to. That being the case, if you had a katana, or came across one... that's got to be one of the best weapons there is, light and two handed, everybody would want it. Of course they're fairly rare in the US, but you'd expect to see a few swords popup.

Also realistically, you'd see all those things, mix of old and new weapons, 'customized armor vehicles made out of junkyard parts', human settlements of various sizes. There aren't too many customized armored vehicles, but once in a while you'll see something different. But basically, it's a fairly dark series.

[LuvablePsycho]

See I don't think that in a real zombie apocalypse there would be "settlements" of human survivors living in walled cities. I mean for one thing when exactly would the humans find the time to build the walls with swarms of zombies attacking everywhere? And I don't think that there would be enough survivors to even have settlements because most everybody would either be already dead or infected.

I think Day of the Dead showed a more realistic portrayal of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. It would most likely be a few scattered groups of people hiding out in shelters like the military guys and scientists in that movie.
They would be isolated away from other groups of survivors and have to live on whatever supplies they had. If they ran out of supplies I think it's possible that they would raid abandoned stores for supplies but that would be taking a huge risk.

Also I agree that melee weapons would realistically work better in a zombie apocalypse than guns. Guns run out of ammo and it's actually very hard to shoot a target in the head from a distance (which is the only way to kill a zombie).

I think something sturdy and hard like a baseball bat or crowbar would work best. Like in the beginning of Night of the Living Dead when Ben was using a tire iron and Barbara picked up a fire poker.

I think, like in Walking Dead, the cities would be overrun, run out of supplies fast, but in the rural areas, with lots of space, there's infrequent zombies here or there, or big swarms that come through. You'd go out for supplies here and there, and otherwise, you have a fair degree of self sufficiency, some big gardens or outright farms. That's the world of Walking Dead.

[Morningriser]

I think the whole thing about the savior's is far-fetched. They are all in the exact same situation and most of the savior's are just people that Negan found here and there who are basically dedicating their lives to him whether if he wants them to kill people or not because they consider him their savior. considering it's only Negan who seems to be so damn power-hungry, all the others, even if it's just his wives ganging up together, could have taken him out easily. Na post zombie apocalyptic world, wouldn't everyone be trying to stick together in any way they can rather than going around and taking everyone's Provisions from them and leaving them to die and just creating even more walkers? It's as if logic has been thrown out the window on this show.

[LuvablePsycho]

And it always bugs me whenever humans kill other humans during a zombie apocalypse regardless of the reasons why.

Like in Day of the Dead when Rhodes and his men tried to feed Sarah to the zombies. The humans are almost extinct because of the zombies taking over the world and you really want to kill the only female in your group when she is needed for procreation? ::roll eyes::

It's as if logic has been thrown out the window on this show.Like in real life, the men surrounding Negan have their perks and power only because of what Negan has proven he can do with people. The bigger his group gets -- big when our friends run into him -- the more unlikely it is someone can replace him.

It might be doable to stab Negan in the back, though extremely risky, but replacing the perks they get are extremely unlikely to be replaced. And taking his place would be very difficult too. Not to mention you would have started a trend of "replacing the leader", which happens is history.

There's always some criminals out there, and then add desperate situations, and you'll get people who'd take your stuff and leave you for dead. Most people in the show try to stick together.

It would matter how and why the zombie apocalypse starts. At the end of Night of the Living Dead (1968), it looks like humanity has wiped out all the zombie's by lunchtime the next day, right?

I don't think any film has stated how, or what, actually starts it; or is there?

If it's just dead unrestrained bodies, ie, not in graves, not locked in morgues, coming back to life... that's not very many bodies. Hard to say where that tipping point would be, where, or how fast it gets out of hand.

Yeah both versions of NotLD made it look like the humans defeated the zombies by the next day. ::big grin::

Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead both showed that wasn't the case and the zombies pretty much took over the whole world.

I think what allows the zombies to take over the world so easily is the confusion and panic. Why is every dead person in the world getting up again? Why are they eating people? Why is it that when they bite somebody that person turns too? Why can't we stop them with bullets like a normal person?

Plus think about the fact that the characters in zombie movies always act like they have never seen a zombie movie before.::big grin::

Yeah, if it happened today, some people wouldn't even be scared. They'd be like calling their friends up, "Hey, Dude, grab your katana!"

If a virus woke the dead at night, it could be pretty ugly really fast, like in NOTLD, and then if the zombies open doors, then I could see cities falling. I still think rural areas could survive. It's not like humans aren't resourceful. In my opinion, it takes some suspension of disbelief to believe humanity getting the upperhand wouldn't be inevitable. I think the big cities are the real question marks.
