The Walking Dead

[Chris M]

Well...another episode that very slowly moved the plot.  It certainly wasn't a bad one, but was far from being good.

Maybe next week we'll actually see the end of the perpetual cat and mouse game.  This season has been like The Farm, except there has been some action.

[Scockery]

Yeah, if the farm had 16 episodes and Rick duked it out with Shane every 4 episodes, and Lori went off for some stupid reason and wrecked her car every 3rd episode, and two characters debated ethics/morality for 20 minutes every other episode..so, yeah, the show has gotten formulaic.

So next week is the Season Finale of TWD and the season premier of FTWD.  My prediction is that TWD ends with Morgan doing his best Forest Gump impersonation right out of town....Fear TWD starts in Houston 6 months later with him running into town! 

[Chris M]

Matt, I'm guessing that's sarcasm. 

If they haven't drastically shifted FTWD timeline, then that show is about 2 years behind TWD.  So I'm thinking Morgan made his way to Texas after helping Rick, and then headed back east after an adventure there and met up with Rick and Co.

That's just my fan theory that accounts for absolutely nothing and is probably entirely wrong.

[BillCable]

Texas is a LONG ******* WALK from Virginia for a round-trip visit.

[Chris M]

Come on Bill, you know you have to suspend belief for that show.  I'm sure Morgan found a car with unlimited gas or a charging station for an electric car.  The writers will make it fit.

[Dave]

Probably took one of those trash people helicopters.

You are partially correct Chris...there was some sarcasm in my comment.  However, the show runners have said that the timeline of Morgan is not going to be changed....he's leaving TWD and will show up in Fear afterwards.  I'm expecting a huge time jump in Fear next week.

[BillCable]

I've actually enjoyed the last few episodes of TWD a lot more than I did the rest of the season.  I'm really hoping they deliver some nice pay-offs on Sunday.  We deserve it!

[Jesse James]

I enjoyed the Negick brawl in the building with ****** floors.  I’ve enjoyed a lot of this season in general. 

Oh I’ve had batteries die in a month too... depends on their newness and just general usage and the weather but yeah it’s super easy and one of those things I’ve just ignored on the show...  like constant good aim regardless of the setting...  till someone important is standing around and needs shot then suddenly they’re all Stormtroopers.

Lol @ the Forest Gump line Matt.  That was funny. 

[Rob]

I've probably already said it, I'm going to say it again...

I really hope the Saviors thing ends next week.  They've been the focal point of the show for three years now.  I don't think I could stand a fourth.

I'm dying for this show to do something new... anything new.

[Matt_Fury]

Looks like there will be one heck of a time jump in FTWD according to this trailer.

Morgan directly references All Out War (there was a war out East), and the fact that he has his Aikido staff proves it's after Rick met up with crazy Morgan back in his hometown.

I bet the episode will be set in present day TWD, but there will be several flashbacks throughout the season to show what happened in those two years.

Also, a quick glimpse at the timelines of the show:

- Rick wakes up on day 59 of the outbreak, 5 days later it's the end of Season One and the CDC in Atlanta blows up.
- The Dam blows up in FTWD on Day 64 of the outbreak....same day as the CDC in Atlanta blows up.

So basically, most of what we've seen in FTWD has happened before Rick even gets out of the Hospital in TWD!

[Scockery]

Underwhelming and telegraphed season finale of TWD. The oceanside ladies weren't even needed, because that attack on Hilltop felt tacked on and weightless.  Dwight leaves seemingly for good...which is almost a shame, I like him more than most of Rick and company. Maggie and Daryl set up at next season's villains...or something.

FTWD actually got me interested, even though I thought i was tired of Morgan. And Garret Dillahunt, maybe the rest of the cast of Raising Hope will appear or he'll turn out to be Cromartie, the terminator. Or he'll reveal that The Gifted mutants were the cause of the zombie. I was quite TAKEN with Maggie Grace. (I didn't realize who she was, actually)

[GrandMoffNick]

I can't believe we've gotta wait a whole summer now to hear how much you hate this show.

[GrandMoffNick]

That being said I do agree it was pretty telegraphed.

I'm intrigued with the Maggie, Jesus, Daryl thing. That caught me off guard. I can't see them "vs" Rick but certainly a rift could be interesting
