The Walking Dead, Am I Alone?

WhatInThe said:
This show/s are hit or miss with me. The frustrating thing here is that the viewer already knows about the head shot as pointed out when the girls viewed the video. The doctor knew something about them wanting the oldman taken downstairs right after dying. And like any good campy horror movie they all do the same stupid things like go to an abandoned building/drug den in the middle of night.

Ha! I just gotta run with this thought....watch the video: “If you’re in a horror movie you make poor decisions. It’s what you do"
 

What made TWD so attractive to me, the quiet moments when two survivors meet up, learn each other's pasts, walk along a country road together or inhabit an abandoned house and just talk, are sadly missing in FTWD. I feel AMC is trying to manipulate viewers into liking this show so they can kill off all the major characters of WD while having a replacement of sorts to entice WD fans afterwards.
 
Chic, TWD is based on a comic book series and most of those characters who die, did so in the comic book before the series ever made it to a tv series, some character died or changed a bit, and a few never existed like Daryl, which is one of the reasons he's lasted so long as it is, but in the comics some really horrific things happened to some characters who are still on the show, not that they aren't going to die eventually, but, just not as soon as in the book or as they did, but a lot of the story goes according to the book and many of the main characters are always dying off.

Robert Kirkman the originator who wrote the comic book and is one of the executive producers stated he has an idea already in mind of how TWD will end and it will be on a positive note. Of course we can't hold him to that. Good thing is he doesn't plan for the series to end any time soon. Kirkman is still writing the comic story so there's still plenty to go, but, it could end if viewership falls off in the coming year/s. But, it saddens me and I have to brace myself, so do be prepared for favorite characters to die, it goes with the territory of the show. The newest show is more about fans not being able to get enough of TWD during the breaks if anything.
 
In th comic version Carol (Pelletier) commits suicide early on while her daughter Sophia lives and is cared for by Glen. In the TV series Carol is one of the toughest most interesting characters who's had to make some of the most difficult choices. Since she's already dead in the comic book, I hope she'll be allowed to live in the series. She's probably my favorite character. And I'll miss Glen this season so Carol must live!
 
I know as I said, some things were changed, as you know, there are a one or two characters gone who should still be alive and one or two characters who should have already have died at least by last season. So having said this, I guess I'm just a little baffled by your previous post since I think the flow of the show shouldn't have been of any surprise in it's direction it was never going to be a country walking, reflecting getting to know each other type show, it's a apocalyptic show based on that style of comic, the theme was pretty much laid out from the start. Not is Kansas anymore Toto. :D
 
I'm a major TWD fan, so is my daughter. We watch it together even though we're in separate states and text back and forth. We also watch the new spin off Fear the Walking Dead, which starts at the beginning of the virus. New family, new characters, new twists--so far so good.

I've been waiting for someone to say that. True, but, Some of us fans have borrowed the term for ourselves since GD have long since been off the scene for most of the WD generation and they probably thought they are the first to use it. I think it was one of my physical therapist who first said to me so you too are a dead-head when we were talking about the show and I guess it stuck or maybe I first heard in on talking dead. I can't remember where for sure I first heard it, maybe someone was just insulting me. :laugh:

For some reason the link didn't work for me, but, thank you for the effort. BTW I like your avatar, it makes me chuckle and lately I've been watching, I believe the show is called, "last man standing." In spite of its political far bent pokes.

Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to tonight's episode.

Thanks April, the avatar is a glimpse of the neighbor "Wilson" from the Home Improvement TV comedy(Tim Allen,Patrica Richardson).

Wow, I thought we were going to lose Michonne as she was going over the gate. Later, Rick gets ambushed by a couple "wolves"(I think).

ops, gotta go laptop battery low

Hi Thomas, yes I knew who the pic was of, I was a fan of that show, that's why I mentioned tthe tv show " The last man standing" which stars the lead actor from the "Home improvement" TV show.


I am so annoyed with tonight's episode events all around for so many reasons and especially at Scott Gimple, for that note he left for the viewers of the talking dead. So we're now left with is a Glen is or isn't he a gonna and then there's poor Rick. This episode was worse than the week before,as far as mayhem. I expect things will slow down next week's episode, at least I'm hoping.

I enjoyed last night's episode. Things are really moving. Nicholas dead! Poetic justice. Didn't feel a thing. He should've died earlier. Glen might've lived a bit longer. Rick alone. Car won't start. Rick looks frustrated. Surrounded by walkers. Daryl's off being Daryl - can't connect with Rick. Forboding. Love it.

Alexandria has turned out to be pretty much what Rick thought it would become. Where does this leave them now? Lots of cliffhangers. Will Glen return as a walker?? I'll bet he does. :eek:nthego:

We need some Walker smilies for this thread.
 
imagine the scenarios we could create centered around Glen....
Nobody from "the group", or Alexandria is with him sooooo
If he lives? ... how long before the viewers and everyone else see him again? Will he return as the same guy? Will he go crazy like Morgan did? Will he survive alone? Will he turn feral?
If he lives? ... why? did he do so on his own? Does someone save him? If so who? Definitely not anyone we currently know, cause they are all out of the area on their way back to Alexandria? Do we see someone new? Do the Wolves get him then kill him, or do they use him as a hostage or as collateral etc?
If he dies, will we see him as a walker and who will he kill? Will he see Maggie, will Maggie want to lock him up in a barn and keep him close...
If he is a walker will he be a new kind of walker and have some kind of recognition of his loved ones? (yea way out there thought but this show is way out there)
Or will Carol hunt him down and yet again go all Bad A@@ on whomever and whatever to save our beloved Glen.

I do believe his demise is near, but now....? Given what was read on Talking Dead.... I have to wonder?
