The Walking Dead - Official Thread

[Ja's 2¢]

for the people that missed the prologue including me:



ya'll really got hyped for this

If Abraham just readied his launcher from the get go when they first saw the bikers from far back, they could have been on their merry way.

Why would they stop?

I would drive through them as well if only I wasn't in a tanker full of fuel

Some of you are really strange why would you waste time on a show you find so "buns" I mean the show has consistently for the past 4 seasons playing with the same exact formula, going into season 6 and ya still tuned in complaining about it?...do ya realize how dumb some of you sound

On Morgan I legit don't see how he remains with the group, he lied and put the rest of the group at risk to save a killer, fought and could have killed Carol, how Rick doesn't put a hot one in his head next season is beyond me....his motives literally turned him into the biggest liability this group has a ever had, much easier to carry around weak characters, than a strong one who you can't trust....sucks because I used to love Morgan, good job on turning this character to **** lol

And they need to diversify how the change up their characters, that's 3 black characters that have received the short end of the stick when it comes to their characters, Tyrese, GaBe and Morgan, hate all of them...the only endearing black character this show has had was Tdawg, can't count Michonne because there is really nothing endearing about her, she's just a certified bad**** with full immunity to harm on the show.

The show should throw a curve and off Michonne, Carl, or Darryl....I'm sure with JDM coming on payroll they gotta drop a major player for salary cap space...lol

I like this show, even though it can get really ridiculous and forget it's own rules or have characters do uncharacteristic things all the time. There are more wack episodes than good ones, but every now and then you get a good one and it's worth it. If you have zero qualms with the show, that's cool.

Morgan was never going to kill Carol. "Every life is precious." At most he would subdue her. I don't see how Morgan's actions warrant executing him. Carol has crossed so many boundaries. You need to take those Carol tinted glasses off. That Wolf wasn't going anywhere until Carol brought the knife down. You can't tell me that bumrushing the stairs while Morgan knowing your exact intent was a good idea. This is the same woman that stealth killed a group of people who were already locked up in isolation. She could of got that Wolf if she were smarter about it. Maybe Carol also made a bad judgment call? :\

How is Morgan not endearing though? He's (albeit stupidly) trying to see the good in people and give them second chances. In a world that has no heart and killing has become a necessity, Morgan is trying stop it. We already know from watching the series it's impossible, because bad people gonna bad people, but do people really hate Morgan for being too good? Doctor girl will probably get offed or maybe the Wolf will run into Rick and them outside and kill one of them and Morgan will snap and go back to psycho Morgan, who y'all will probably still hate.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Just cause Eugene is around doesn't make him endearing. He's worse than T-Dog. If Eugene were black think of the outrage, but he's a white hick so no one cares that he is mumbling and taking up background space. He's useless.

Morgan is an antagonist. Good or bad, he's a big part of season 6 so far, but it isn't a shining lite so they will complain,.

Carol, Carl, Maggie, Rosita, Tara, Abraham, etc have all taken a back seat this season.

Is walking dead really the most predictable show some of you guys watch?

I mean i feel like every drama/thriller show is so freaking predictable... nothing really sets walking dead apart in that regard.

With all the complaining it seems like some folks watch the show with intentions to point out things they dont like. How can you even enjoy it at this point?




one thing about last nights episode was the walkers walking up stairs... has that occurred before? I noticed it for whatever reason last night and I was kinda surprised by that. Didnt think they would be able to.

 

[extraordinary swag]

Anybody knows what comics this episode is based off, I'm probably just going to read ahead, I hate cliffhangers

issues 80-84 No Way Out

the ending sequence was ripped straight from the comic so I'll give them credit for that just wish it was longer

I think the main gripe with Morgan is this, sure it's fine he can believe people can be saved and he doesn't wanna kill but how logical is it to put the entire community at risk just because of YOUR beliefs? The Wolf blatantly saying to Morgan and the Doctor that he cannot be saved and will kill everyone the second he escapes. Why would you want to keep someone like that alive?

And where the hell was Dr Dre and a bunch of the other Alexandrian's this episode?

 

[ooiron manoo]

I need to catch up on the comic just to see if there's some plan for Eugene. Why that guy is alive just baffles me.

 

[tekthemaestro]

walkers to my knowledge have always been able to go up stairs in some fashion. it just hasnt happened like THAT before, where they flat out went up a flight to the second story. but even in season 1 in ep 1 or 2 when we first see morgan, his wife walked up to his porch to get to his door. she turned the handle too iirc. so i know they can at least walk up a porch or figure it out. but a flight (and i think this flight had a bend in it) is really iffy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I hope we get some sort of three way battle between Alexandria, Negan and the Wolves

Don't tell me that's the last we've seen of the Wolves 

To the folks complaining about the complainers, might as well accept it now. It's not like they're going to just stop watching cold turkey 

 I am dissatisfied with the writing and other elements but that's only because I know how much better it could be. I'm not just gonna quit on the show though srry

Also (going way way back), the walkers climbed up the stairs to get to Merle when he was chained to the rooftop

Exactly, we've invested far too much time into the show to not watch now.


We have every right to complain. I mean hey, if some of ya'll like watching garbage TV, more power to you. I however expect a better product, even if that means I have to endure garbage television until things pickup again.

TWD is like the Fast and Furious of TV. If you try to get too deep you realize how much of it is impossible. So you don't think about it. You just enjoy it.

You don't really have to think too deep into it, the shows name says it all "The Walking Dead" how much realism were you expecting from it again?...lol

 

[ooiron manoo]

Apparently some people do,

TWD is my guilty pleasure. If I want deep story lines I'll research Mad Men from start to finish.

Oh and speaking of Morgan, ironic he was fighting with a character that was useless for quite some time, put the group at risk and got exiled. She's white though so no one cared.

umm ok quit trying to stir up a race card issue because there is none..

dont lie to yourself morgans a bigger B word than gabriel at this point

 

[superblytrife]

Mid-season was weaksauce. Like REALLY weak.

Season started off good and tapered off into mediocrity. I'm sure it'll pick back up again in February, but damn I wish we could've had more deaths this last episode. It wasn't near as jaw-dropping as some of the other mid-season finales have been.

Glad to see the Negan storyline take form though.

this is pretty much how I approach this show, with lowered expectations.  Once I relegated this show from "must see" to, "nothing else is on at this time" i'm able to like it more

I also don't really care to discuss the show much when it's not on.  Weird things happen in this thread once the show ends, people get nutty.

I watch and discuss while its happening and leave it at that, don't think it's worth much more

Nothing else on, I mean is just Sunday night football....#imsayinn

 

[servechilled81]

i don't watch football, the Texans but that's it, they're on during the afternoon

once Shameless comes back it's quiet for WD

 

[grimeyy]

Episode didn't meet expectations 

 Thought it was gonna be more hectic

 

[KingParappa]

if the episode was 10 mins longer... Even 5 mins. Like why end the episode there? I few more minutes in would have been a better cliffhanger. Other than that, the episode was fine.

 

[uno]

being a Knicks fan and walking dead fan isn't good for my health |I

Would have been 5 to 10 minutes more of the kid being a *****, Morgan being a *****, or Eugene being a *****.

I was hype for the ending, thought it would have included something more shocking or explosive. Should have known better.

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

I can't stand Sam. I know he's just a kid and all, but damn he's annoying af.
