The Walking Dead

[OttoinGrotto]

But the major plotline of the season was that Negan wanted Ezekial, Rick and Maggie captured alive so that he can make an example of them. They had Maggie captured and then just let her return to the Hilltop. Why?

BECAUSE THE WRITERS WENT DUMB

 

[Trueblue25]

Negan’s plans to make examples of all three probably changed when he lost half his fighting and probably a significant amount of his working force

He lost half his fighting force but could still send three different forces, one armed with explosives, and had time to cut a tree down and gather a force waiting to intercept Maggie (how did they know she'd be out?). And get a coffin ready.

I gave up on this show the episode before the tiger died. It just felt like chore to watch. Is Carl actually dead or are they setting up another "fake out"?

If they follow the rules, he's dead.

But when it suits the writer's purposes the characters have IQs all over the map, so who knows?

LOL.

The Saviors were on the brink last week. They had no food or weapons and their leadership was turning on each other. Next thing we're right back to ep one of last season wrt how strong the Saviors are.

Negan considered Maggie to be at Rick and Ezekiels level. Hence why he wanted all three of their heads. So then Simon LETS HER GO. But Ezekiel JUST HAS to die.

How the hell did Carl get a clean bite on his abdomen?

Yup. It was all really bad. Really bad.

more spoiler










they almost have to kill him off, right? he can't just walk off on his own because they just used that device with morgan

 

[KaiserUEO]

Good point.

They'd have to get creative.

 

[justgold315]

Maybe he is going to "die" and no one finds the body. He will probably show back up in season 37

If he ‘disappeared’ or appears dead for the end of the fall and most of spring, it would be fine with me.

Thing is, he’s not Lenny Briscoe...he’s Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV.

possible spoiler alert . . . spoiler hints, anyway






the season 9 update to the Walking Dead No Man's Land game released last night. The splash screen of this game usually reflects something to do with the season. The new season features a damaged US Capitol building with a military helicopter flying overhead

Could it be... the helicopter we've already seen?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Or maybe it's the smoke monster!!!!111!!!

 

[moqui]

probably is, but they've teased a helicopter so many times, they need to poop or get off the pot

 

[RF2044]

RIP Rick Grimes.

Maybe not? Clever way to approach it, I'll give them credit for that.

It was a good fake out.

The time jump looks interesting.

 

[Trueblue25]

So the zombies can speak and strategize now?

If they start running this could get interesting

I don't think so on either account -- they've alluded to who the next big group of villains the group might encounter next, so I'm guessing they'll figure into what was shown in that trailer.

I mean did you hear the zombie talk in the trailer for the next three episodes and them talking about them evolving?

Yes.

Spoiler alert -- don't read if you'd prefer to see things unfold.









In the graphic novels, the group apparently encounters an outfit called "The Whisperers," who disguise themselves as zombies. Don't know much about them otherwise, other than they are supposedly extremely sadistic. The skuttlebutt over the summer was that various actors had been cast in those roles, so we can probably expect them this year. That scene suggests so, too.

Damn I figured that may be a twist. Was hoping the zombies would potentially evolve. Could still be cool though.

 

[RF2044]

Did you watch the post-show [Talking Dead], where they discussed what is going to happen with Rick?

Pretty cool twists / development -- very excited to see where they take this franchise!
