alive she cried Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Another good episode. Pretty close to the comics, but as usual just not quite as good. Comics spoilers They obviously seem to be substituting Sasha for Andrea in this storyline, I wonder if that will continue and she will take Andrea's position in story arcs from here on, I'd be very surprised if Rick and Sasha become an item. Also interesting is what they're doing with Tyreese, him not being able to kill (that guy from the shed from episode 1 turning up alive?). I've also been rereading the comics from the Hunters storyline on, and I'll be astounded if we see Negan this season. We still have Eugene's reveal, the discovery of Alexandria, the bedding in period in Alexandria, the first attack from a group that shows how much the Alexandria community needed Rick's group, Rick stealing the guns back, Rick becoming leader, Rick getting involved with Jessie, huge swarm of walkers attack, killing Jessie's son, Rick chopping her arm off and Carl getting shot in the face. All that is before we even meet Jesus and find out about the other communities. I know we mightn't get all of that, but even if we only get half, they'd have to really rush it to fit Negan in before the end of the season. Oh also, do you think maybe those guys that raped Tasha Yar are the ones that kidnapped Beth? I've a feeling we might see a flashback next episode.

The NZA Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 agreed that we're early in the season but this still feels too early for Negan, we need more distance from the time spent with the governor, and it we follow the book at all, the show jumps dramatically ahead at certain points there too. ive been thinking they split the group because writing wise, i figure it's way too large a cast to just following all together, maybe it's easier if they keep bouncing around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm kinda surprised they killed Gareth so soon. I thought he was gonna be the main villain this season. Glad they wrapped that up though, I wouldn't like a bunch of Terminus flashbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 see that's also true - compared to the farm/prison etc we're moving at breakneck speed right now. i honestly don't know how the show can possibly maintain this momentum, but so far, this has been the most exciting season hands-down.

alive she cried Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Comic spoilers up to #127 My theory (now) is that this season will end with Carl shot or Jesus showing up, maybe close on the revelation of the Hilltop. Season six, we'll meet Negan early, Rick will be Negan's bitch for the season, end at declaration of war. Season seven is a full season of all out war and the show ends with the recent flash forward in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Re that gif @ the top of the page: Rick keeps his promises! Claimer Joe got off easy, son. Another good episode.

Season six, we'll meet Negan early, Rick will be Negan's bitch for the season, end at declaration of war. Season seven is a full season of all out war and the show ends with the recent flash forward in time. Interesting theories, but the show has messed with the chronology of the comics in ways before, so not necessarily everything you listed will happen in that order, or even at all, in the TV show. However... You are making me re-think Sasha surviving. I had her pegged for death this season, but she would be a convenient replacement for Andrea's comic plot points in the show. And why wouldn't Rick eventually want some of that and vice versa? She's gotta morn Bob, but I dunno. Maybe... My money is still on Alexandria this season. This splitting up of the group could push it back possibly from my original prediciton of it showing up mid-season. Now the groups joining up again could be the mid-season finale. I hope not though. We already had enough of this separated group shit last season. That drama has been mined. I also still think Negan's bunch will be revealed as the Terminus rapists. Whoever took Beth is something different. Maybe Rick's group won't encounter Negan, but I think he'll show up somehow in a flashback or possibly just a cut scene. Time will tell...

Keth Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I wasn't expecting much from this last episode, but damn it delivered. Pretty sure Lil' Chris Rock is who Daryl brings back with him from the bushes in place of Carol... where we now know where she is. Also, Beth earned herself some points in this one. Looks like we got a Lady Governor on our hands too. Edited November 4, 2014 by Axels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APANCHALYPSE FOREVER Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Folks on Facebook hated that episode and I hate them for hating it. It was damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yeah, people over on comicbookmovie.com were also slating it, which completely caught me by surprise. I'm with ye, I thought it was another excellent episode. Gorman was a really disgusting character, that scene with the lollipop rape was pretty hard to watch.

APANCHALYPSE FOREVER Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Also, I have a theory: Dawn might be in charge, but that hospital is run by Negan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It did seem awfully Negan-ish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Also, I have a theory: Dawn might be in charge, but that hospital is run by Negan. Interesting theory, but I'd be surprised if it is accurate. However.... The writers seem to be setting up for Negan though. Negan has to be different from the Gov. in that he's got a violent yet by zombpocalypse standards debatable system of rule in place; he's violent but "reasonable" and not just a sociopath bent on murder and revenge like the Gov. Negan is supposed to be "reasonable" and I think the show runners are laying the ground this season to show just how fucked up people can be thus making the Negan way of things seem less Governor-ish. Even if Negan is exactly like the comic he will still come up looking more reasonable than Gareth and the Terminus crew. And his "voluntary harem" in the comics is technically a more fair system than Dawn's snatch a rape victim operation. I think Dawn is being truthful when she tells Beth her motives for whoring out "patients" right before she beats her unconscious and there's not likely Negan or a Negan type operating the place. And I don't understand the Internet hate for this episode either. It was a weaker episode by TWD standards, but not worthy of the hyperbolic vitrol I saw on several sites. Also, I think we all can agree Beth episodes definitely work better when they feature Daryl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 damn, this season is not letting up was surprised to see the cat outta the bag so early with Eugene but i wasn't sure how much longer they'd keep it going for...have to admit, the closing bits really make you feel bad for abraham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah I felt bad for both of them. Some solid acting out of both Abraham and Eugene in this one too. I don't know how I feel about Rosie Perez though. I just hope that Abraham didn't actually kill Eugene with that goddamn haymaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 brutal, but i don't think he's dead, nah guessing that army truck with the M16 last season was "an accident" too, though? also what's not to like about suzie crabgrass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 brutal, but i don't think he's dead, nah The only way last night's episode could've been better is if Chris Tucker showed up as a sassy zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 this season, man... like, this last ep; it wasn't so much about addressing the pacing issues as doing more character/etc bits with said time (really digging the silent hill-esque soundtrack too). the flashbacks, the balance of action with slow, uneasy moments is really hitting its stride for me here, as well as carrying the ensemble cast by basically focusing on one side/team at a time, in a way that usually doesn't go quite as well. it's all the more impressive here too because as far as the source material goes, they're totally winging it - so i keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it doesn't. I've enjoyed the crap out of this show so far but this season is hands-down the best for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APANCHALYPSE FOREVER Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 They finally figured out a way to do more with more (episodes). The problem with the second season is they tried to character build, but it was all at the same time. So they stayed at the farm, for like, everrrr . This season they're just focusing on a small amount of folks at a time and it's really paying off. Agreed this is a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 ugh, seriously i get we spent the ep setting up that she's not well/all there right now, but that was still lazy as hell. too much time on abraham's distant stare/minister & christian zombies/etc this was my least favorite of the season so far and that predictable-ass cliffhanger just didn't help. hoping for a return to greatness next sunday.

Keth Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It definitely felt like filler, still not terrible and had some of the best makeup of the series yet. those napalm'd zombie... ewwwww. And that gag with Darryl double fishhooking that walker's eyeholes was brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
