The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

Someone mentioned that a major character was going to die this week and I finally got to watch the talking dead this morning and they showed the part with Maggie climbing the ladder and it got me thinking with her being pregnant is she going to be the one that goes? I know people have read the spoilers so if I am right please don't say but I knida feel that they bring back Glenn and make us all feel good and bam they might hit us with Maggie dying???? I hope I am way off base on this but what does anyone else think?

 

I don't think it will be Maggie- with Glenn just coming back I don't think they'll kill her off. Also- with Maggie pregnant, I don't think they'll waste the story.
I don't know who will die tonight- I just hope it's no one I like. Which is pretty much everyone. I wouldn't mind it being Sasha or Rosita. Or Morgan- he's gonna get someone killed. I worry about Carl since Ron was stalking him last episode.
I hope the Steelers win- because if they lose & someone I like dies tonight, I'm not gonna be in a good mood.

 

This would have been my post very well said and pretty much sums it all up.......very disappointed in it.

 

Thanks but I am not going to read the spoilers I feel it takes away from watching it not knowing. I also don't read the comics and with everyone talking about them I am wondering if that is something I should get into......naw I don't have enough time to spend on here never mind reading, lol!

 

what did i miss?

 

To late, i just googled him.. lol

 

I liked last night's episode. Michonne is one of my favorite characters, so I really enjoyed the conversations between her and Deanna, as well as watching her continuing to slay walkers.

Glenn saw Maggie, so YAY! on that!

I also liked that Rick went "old school" in covering themselves in walker guts in order to proceed to the armory through the horde of walkers.

Jessie's youngest son, Sam, is going to get himself an education here very shortly. Stupid, sheltered kid needs to tiptoe through the tulips.

Speaking of Jessie's sons, good on Carl for telling Ron that his dad, Porch Dick, was an a-hole. Bwahahaha!

Eugene reading World History while their lives are in danger. Haha!

Poor Rosita. Worried and inquiring about Abraham and all the while he's got the hots for Sasha.

My absolutely favoritest, bestest part of the episode, however, was when Morgan body slammed Carol. Oh man, you don't even know... I clapped and yelled, "HELL YEAH!" I was so disappointed when, previously, he waited for her and helped her when she fell. I woulda left her there. Just sayin'. I know it wasn't the best move for Morgan, but we don't really care about Dr. Denise, do we?

 

Nicely done.........

 

I think I liked the episode more than most of you did from what I've read here, but I did think it was fairly anti-climactic. I was expecting there to be more of a cliff hanger rather than just a somewhat tense situation fading to black.

 

And that was the one thing in the episode that really bugged me. The guy basically previously told Morgan he would kill him when he got free. He didn't show any sign of having changed regardless of the speech about "you weren't always like this". Then to just knock some folks out, take a gun, and leave everyone alive after still talking about "freeing" everyone just didn't make sense.

 

I don't know why Tara or Rosita didn't just put a bullet in the Wolf's head, or at least shoot the arm with the knife in it. Everyone on this show seems to be a crack shot.
As for Carl and Porch Dick Jr, I don't get it. I still prefer season 3 Carl who just shot that kid outside the prison fences. That's the cold blooded Carl I want to see.
I kind of expect Maggie to die. I think the platform she's on will collapse, and Glenn will have to watch her die.
As for Sasha, Daryl and Abraham, I'm still trying to figure out that situation. You would think those three would be smart enough to realize when they saw Negan's posse that they should just throw the truck in reverse and find another route. And if they gave chase, they have a damn rocket launcher.
And I love Eugene. "Lock picking is one of the skills I possess".

Finally, Sam is going to get some of them attacked. Probably Himself, Gabriel, and maybe PD Jr.

 

Thanks for the heads-up on this. As one who nearly always catches the show via DVR and doesn't really watch TD I would have missed it. Though I was hoping more for Negan to actually make his first appearance (well, aside from the Terminus flashback).

I agree with comments above on the rather blah impression this left as a midseason finale. In terms of pace it's more along what I wish a normal episode would be, with a few separate plot strings containing at least some amount of urgency trying to weave themselves back into the central thread. But most come to expect a little added intrigue before the break, especially with the slow grind that was done getting here after the Morgan episode.

I really hope the show can do something to recapture the ominous feeing that anyone could be offed at anytime. But since it's been awhile since any of central characters have died (Idk that Deanna or Tyronne really count) and with The Glenn Effect still freshly in the air, that has been seriously dampened for me. Rewinding the clock back to when Carol was excommunicated from the prison and gulaged by Rick in a subdivision, I had genuine doubts whether she'd ever be back.

Back to the here and now, I felt no fear for Maggie scrambling her way up the ladder, nor for when Rick and Co made their way into the horde of walkers at the end. Even with PD Jr crying out I figure the worst that will happen is Gabriel will get offed trying to save him - and his has been a long time coming anyway, imo.

Maybe they're saving up to off a couple when Negan is introduced as a way to put him over as the true menace he is in the comics. Hard to say, but I do hope they do justice to the character; he's definitely one of the better comic book villians out there.

 

Really, How many times do we need to see people trying to run from zombies falling on their faces? And how the hell did they all fall down that far from the tower?

After getting ambushed earlier in the season, you just roll to a stop for some pricks in the middle of the road on motorcycles?

Let's not forget how you just give up after going through what happened in Terminus? Screw that I'm punching it and going out blazing!

 

Very good point, let's see a bunch of guys in the middle of the road on bikes and you have a tanker truck........yeah I am pedal down!!!!! Like you point out it is not like they haven't been trapped before, with all the things they have been thru one would know only bad things could come from stopping........

 

Same here. If Ron had gotten to an 'F-it, we're all gonna die' stage and wanted to be the one to off Carl (and presumably himself), why not just whip out the gun and shoot him? The whole foreshadowing "we're all dead" while slowly walkiing to the door and turning the lock bit was dumb.

Perhaps a minor quibble, but I didn't get Maggie firing about 4 shots (all to the head of course) into the walker horde on the ground before running out of ammo and having to scramble up the ladder. I can buy that the AR may have actually been out of all available ammo (clip and armory), but then why not have a backup weapon? Four shots while manning a post overlooking a zombiie horde isn't going to get you very far if things go south.

 

Speaking of the herd thaw was outside of the walls, I kind of wondered why they didn't try to thin it just by making crude harpoons and just chucking them at walkers heads and then pulling them back. Or hell, they're pretty soft at this point, an Air rifle could probably kill them.
