The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

I was wondering, when/if they were gona make their presence known

 

Not the same quarry. That was down outside of Atlanta. They are currently outside of D.C.

 

Everything about the Season 6 premiere was awesome. Daryl leading the Parade o' Walkers was the best thing ever!

 

So you guys think it was the Wolves who set off the horn? I was thinkin' maybe it was Father Gabriel because he was pissed Rick wouldn't let him help.

I haven't watched Talking Dead yet.

 

Yup, that's my guess too. He has a death wish and just can't seem to come to grips with living in this new world. He's very self centered, and is never thinking about the good of the group.

I'm kind of curious where Abraham's head is too. He seems to thrive on the confrontation. I wonder if this will eventually get him into trouble. I hate to say it, but we need to kind of thin the herd of characters again. We hardly saw Carol, Maggie or Carl this episode.

 

Interesting to see that Morgan is Rick's moral center. Really like having him back, I can see him as Rick's right hand man.

Is Maggie pregnant? The little exchange between her and Glen during the flashback when they were volunteering was interesting. Didn't know if anyone else caught it.

Also, how the hell did they find the time to hotwire every single car, made sure the batteries had enough juice and get them all lined up? You do all that and can't throw a few buses behind that corner wall? LOL

 

Apparently, he was supposed to be all along. Not liking how it appeared they were judging him after that guy had his face bitten off.

 

I just finally got to watch the season 6 premier last night. Man, what a great episode.

My first reaction was that the horn was the wolves. They have the trucks and it sounded like a truck horn. It made me think that they've been collecting zombies for just such an occasion.

niterider, I think I caught what you noticed about Glen and Maggie. I can't pinpoint why, but during that scene I was wondering if she might be pregnant.

 

You know, I'm sitting here trying to figure this one out. We know that being bit will turn you into a walker. We also know that everyone is infected. So why does a bite turn someone if it's not in a crucial area? Couldn't someone who's been bitten on the arm just let that wound heal? Why does that automatically turn them? I know that's always been what zombie lore has said, but I kind of think they've backed themselves into a corner by having everyone be infected.

Back to this episode specifically, if the horn was the Wolves, what's their end game? I can't figure that one out. Do they want to be the only humans left surviving?
And back to the quarry, couldn't they have come up with a better solution? Why not try to set the herd on fire? I know that you need to kill the brain, but burning them to a crisp would certainly help the cause, you'd think. Or worst case, stand on the cliff and start throwing rocks at them. At this point their skulls are pretty brittle (as evidenced when some were killing themselves walking into the barrier when the road turned)

 

I don't know the answer for sure, but I suppose once someone turns, the virus could have some type of mutation that makes it cause a reaction in a living person's system to make them turn.

Maybe I missed something, but my thought on this is that the wolves are the group that Aaron said were kicked out of Alexandria (he mentioned a dangerous group with 2 men and 1 woman that were kicked out during the season 5 finale when he was scouting with Daryl). I wondered if they were doing this to get revenge.

 

While it's certainly possible that those three are the wolves, really what kind of threat are they? Morgan kicked two of their asses single handedly. It has to be a bigger group, I would think.
I'll pose another question. Do you guys believe that Rick or Shane is right in regards to recruiting more people for Alexandria? I think I side with Rick here. At this point, anyone who's still around in this current world certainly can't be a "good" person. Everyone has done some bad stuff for sure. How can you trust anyone?

 

Okay, that's makes a lot of sense Ray. So the bite is just what kills them, the catalyst for turning onto a walker is still the virus.

 

I do believe you're correct in that Rick has been struggling internally for some time if he is good or not. That being said, I think we can both admit he's done things for the "right" reasons, even if perhaps he took it too far (the group Daryl was with, the leftover Termites who ate Bob).
I think at some point this season Rick will also deal with Gabriel. How he's managed to stay alive this long in this group is astounding to me. Although it might not be Rick who takes him out, but Maggie (call it a hunch)

 

Blast, I meant the brutality in the way that those two groups were killed. I agree that they needed to die, but it was a brutal death on both counts. And yes, I agree they weren't judging Rick for Carter. Just that they are upset that this is the way it has to be now, maybe.
