The Walking Dead

[Rob]

2 years ago I'd have been upset. But yeah now it may be what they need. I'd prefer Rick leaves as opposed to dies

They'll probably do something stupid like drag the Neagan **** out for another 15 episodes and then have them both stab each other at the same time, dying while holding each other and crying about Carl.

[BillCable]

So - who's your pick for the new host of Talking Dead in the fall?

[Jesse James]

Maybe they’ll can the show all together.  TWD itself is losing ratings so TWD can’t be doing gangbusters.

Thought I'd bump this thread again as The Walking Dead starts on Sunday and it'd be nice to keep the conversations separate

Spoilerz

New credits! Yay?

Gas issue is addressed, but not the age/quality, just supply. Yet, during their Washington fiasco, no one was looking for gasoline in old cars.

Kids runs to save horse and is the Flash, no one can catch up to him to save him from the usual plodding walker. Expedition was a lot of effort for an old wagon.

Then half the party dies from cholera on the way back to Hilltop.

Hey, former crazy junkyard lady, when you gonna talk about them helicopters?

Maybe tell the sanctuary folks they need to find a more habitable place to live?
Is that the Russian baddie from Agents of SHIELD?

Magic Storm destroys bridges and things.  Not that storms cannot do that, but they just played that card on FTWD's 4th season. 

Gregory still hanging around Hilltop? 

Character we've never seen or don't remember's death become a catalyst for Maggie to stand up to Rick. Okay. Sure whatever. I'd think she's still crabby because of that two year pregnancy she had.

[GrandMoffNick]

I've missed you Scockery.

I'm looking forward to the Maggie vs. set up here.

I've also heard the critical review for this season is good so that's nice to hear after the last couple seasons

You'll hit me one of these days.

I didn't realize the dead kid's mom was Brett Butler. What the heck happened to her? I guess she is 60, but has not aged gracefully...under fire.

Makeup can do wonders (or cause things to look horrifying).

[Jesse James]

She didn’t do herself favors with her lifestyle either iirc. 😬

I wonder if the magic storm was the same storm or related to the ftwd storm.  If Darryl is gonna be the focal dude post Rick, Reedus needs to speak up some and a tad more often than he currently does.

[Scockery]

Oh, and we know Morgan isn't making back to Virginia within a year and a half of the end of last season of FTWD.  He's still trucking!?

Though that also depends on when he left Virginia, too.

[Matt_Fury]

I'm guessing Morgan left within a week or two of the end of All Out War.  I'm guessing we had a time jump of about a year in TWD?

In the comics, they had a two year time jump between All Out War and the coming of the Whisperers...relations between all the communities was pretty stable.  I'm curious to see what happens with them showing up and the community relationships are pretty strained.

Not sure if it was the same storm that took out the bridge that was in FTWD, but the timelines do kind of match up.  Either way....infrastructure would be crumbling by this point since no maintenance has been done in the roughly 4 year timeline since season one.

[Jesse James]

Yeah from what I’d seen the times are synced now between shows iirc...  one storm here had so many roads washed out it was a nightmare getting home from school some years ago so the storm thing is fine.  It could have been related or not.  I was fine with it either way adding a level of complexity. 

[Dave]

I'm really curious to see what they do with the Rick character with Andrew Lincoln's departure from the show.  I doubt he can just leave without taking Michonne with him, unless they have some kind of epic break up.  Would they kill him?  Nervous breakdown and he spends the rest of the series farming corn in the background?

[BillCable]

I'm calling heroic self-sacrifice.

[GrandMoffNick]

I think he'll leave the group because all the communities won't work together. Maybe sprinkled with a little "went crazy"
