The Walking Dead, Am I Alone?

I know not all you'all are complete zombie fans, but there's always the tenancy to look for shows that are similar to a favorite show.. Of course there's Fear the Walking Dead, which is what AMC hopes is the "heir apparent" for the attentions of TWD fans. In a different world there is Z Nation, where a band of survivors is on a 'quest' for a cure for the zombie-virus(much like Abraham's group was, this is- until Eugene 'fessed the truth). Even though TWD and Z Nation are in the same business, I personally don't think that there's any real comparison that can be made.

However, some folks may be just a little bit "touchy" about you exploring other shows....

Similar shows that originate from a comic book or graphic novel are likely to have a TV audience. Spin-offs have the likelihood of failure.
 
Alright, I got nothing to watch sunday nights except "60 Minutes", waiting impatiently for the return of TWD.

Of course, we gotta know...who falls victim to Lucille's deadly attentions. According to this link, every one of the group was filmed as the victim in a death scene, with the actual victim to be determined just before the episode airs.

why do they do this to us? <sigh>
 

I'm totally into The Walking Dead and am looking forward to the next season to start. Season 6 finale sure held my interest. I was just dumbfounded that they all got caught.

I'm guessing Lucille took out Abraham. I'll be anxious to find out.

I didn't get into Z Nation or The Fear of the Walking Dead. They just didn't compare to The Walking Dead.

You mean to tell me on one is watching the new series Preacher? Anyhoo, just a few more months to go and we'll be back in the dead. For now I have my money on Michonne as being the victim of Lucille.

Oh and I guess one of the reason's they may have filmed each actor as fallen victim to Lucille, is that there's been too many leaks from he set over the past seasons and this episode for them is just too important to have the real information get out too soon. I know the sites I visit for spoilers have been contacted by their law firms and are on notice, so no spoiler about who got nixed will be coming from my normal sources that's for sure. :( Can't say I blame AMC though.
 
No, never started watching Preacher. Summer is not a good time for new programming. I'm in and out all day long until night falls, so I really don't have much time to watch TV. It looks good though.

I'll see your bet and raise you 2, say- Carl and Aaron.

Why Carl? Killing Carl would inflict maximum pain on Rick. Also, as Carl is missing an eye, he stands to meet the same fate as The Governor.

Why Aaron? I don't know, just that he was supposed to stay at Alexandria, but was insistent on coming along.

Killing Michonne would really rock the fans, although as a TWD fan yuh gotta expect havin' yer heart ripped out every so often. :shrug:

I'm sure large numbers of fans were bummed over the deaths of Hershel, Tyreese, Beth, Noah etc., but we just seems to keep coming back.
 
Ah, I see it wasn't here that I posted my reason for picking Michonne.

My reasoning is that, maybe, the actress, who plays Michonne, may have, I don't know this to be the case,planned to leave the show so it that's the case, it maybe was the reason they rushed to fit the relationship in so soon after Jesse's death. What better way to let her depart than with a bang and at the same time they fulfilled the hopes of some fans of having their Richonne dream come true. Don't get me wrong, I won't be happy if Michonne gets the bat, but, if it were for this reasoning, I'll be able to adjust and not, shut down further production of the show by any means necessary. It just seems the actress has a lot on her plate these days with producing plays and other gigs, maybe she wants to move one. Maybe not, but, that was why I picked Michonne.

Oh, O.K., I knew that Daryl(Norman Reedus)is starting a new show, so it would be understandable if he got knocked off. I didn't know that Danai Gurira(Michonne) had other commitments, so if she is leaving then it is what it is.

If they kill off Michonne, Rick will never get another date!

I had to revise what I wrote, it sounded like I was saying I was sure Danai was planning to leave when in fact I don't know that to be the case, I just know she's busy with other things, producing and writing and acting. I've seen Norman Reedus doing other things, but not so much producing in the realm of what Danai Gurira is from what I have seen in the past, at least not so far, but, who knows. They may both be back for a full season, at this point, I won't be happy no matter who gets eliminated.
 
They said death scenes were filmed for much of the cast even though it will be only one. I think they did the samething with the famous who shot JR Dallas epi.
 
At the end of season 6 I made up my mind that I would stop watching the show but I'm sure I'll get hooked in for another season. It is always interesting even when things do go awry.
 
hahaha AprilT.....I so hope you do get settled in by the time the new season starts.

If you start watching it again MarkinPhx, you'll be hooked once again. ;)

Yep, I said something similar, guess I just have to see it through, maybe. I'll just have to see how the season goes, I might not watch the first episode though, can't bear to see who gets Lucilled.
 
Hi, I'm looking forward to it as much as I'm dreading it. Just not the same kind of happy, wanting, desire and anticipation I used to had in the past, but, I've still been counting the days off for months and constantly rechecking the date on the calendar. In my heart, I have to believe there will be some redemption from the writers to cause me to fall back in love. :hopelessness: I'm disturbingly, frighteningly looking forward to the return. Then again, maybe it's just some kine of flu bug I need to shake off. :wiggle:

Anyhoo, thanks for starting things back up, should be quite the night come next week, Sunday.
 
Hi AprilT, Yea, it doesn't look to be a "happy" occasion...I don't think that the writers are going to show us the kind of love, like when TWD resumed in Season 6, and we found that Glenn was alive.

With Fear the Walking Dead (for me) there is not yet the strong connection with the particular characters, so if one is lost it's not so bad. Having just said what I said, I must contradict myself a little and say that the main group of characters has come a long way since the start, so I really don't want to see them go...
 
After season 6 ended I fell into the "I'll never watch this again" camp. Now that time has passed I know I will be watching this one as it airs. Show keeps dragging me back in every time I try to run away !
 
Oh, my Dish timer tuned in(6PM,PDT) to AMC...I forgot the special program "The Journey so Far" with the cast looking back, commenting on the story.

Don't miss this program, find it on TV or online: AMC.com.

I saw it. I'm looking forward to the season opener. I can't believe the rumors that it's Daryl who gets killed.
