The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

Happy to see that Blue Man Group survived the zombie apocalypse.

 

Thanks for ruining it for me, thought it was a real tiger.

 

Yeah, good call. I was thinking there was a part in the comics where an ill-timed walker takes Negan by surprise, at least, that's what I thought of when that scene with Sasha was about to unfold. Loved Negan's attitude when they were escaping. "Oh ****, they have a tiger". "Oh ****, the widow's alive and she's out guns blazing". <Flips bird>

I thought there was about 10 minutes too much of the Sasha coffin/reflection scenes personally.

While David Bowie's sister's platoon seems to be extremely well trained, it would be very hard not to make their garbage heap the first stop on the way to the Sanctuary.

I was hoping they'd do this scene almost line for line out of the comics (while editing as necessary for language of course).

Spoiler: Adult Language

 

That's addressed in the comics. I'm sure something similar will be shown in the show. Then again, Negan didn't take ALL of their weapons and ammo in the comics.

I assumed it was Janis and the garbage dump people. I guess maybe it could have been Gregory?

Dwight didn't know about the double cross or Sasha. Hence the chess piece left for Daryl reading "Didn't know." Dwight can be trusted, I think.

Eugene? No idea what's going on there. It's off the rails of the comics.

Your guess is as good as mine about how they came in undetected. we could just say they charged in so fast, that no one was aware until too late since they were all distracted by each other. It's a stretch, I know. But hey, made for a cool TV moment.

What will Gregory do? Stay tuned... it'll be entertaining.

 

Gotta love San Diego Comic-Con time. Here's a rather long trailer for next season. There's a little teaser after the trailer - or when you think it's over anyway - comic fans should know what it is right away. But the real point of it is this: All Out War should be wrapped up this season. It doesn't appear that they'll try to drag it out.

 

oh I definitely hope the Negan storyline is wrapped up this season.

Wonder why Jesus and Morgan are fighting each other.

 

I hope Jesus and Morgan are sparring or something. Otherwise, Morgan's gone off the deep end again, and frankly, that's getting old.

The war will end this year but

Spoiler

Negan isn't going anywhere. hehehe

 

Well heres hoping they don't follow the comic too closely on this one

 

I only read to the end of All Out War. But I've kept track of the story in general up to the current issues through issue reviews, discussions, etc. You can find anything if you look.

I won't need a spoiler tag to answer you: Enid has been and will probably always be a Sophia replacement.

 

Interesting. Have the producers ever hinted or straight out said they regretted killing her character?

For me, that was the moment I knew I was watching something on a different level. I think it was a great moment in the show but man that was brutal.

 

I never heard a comment in either direction about killing her so early. As to their reasons why, and then replacing her character down the line? Maybe they wanted to throw comic readers off. Maybe they weren't thinking that far ahead. Hell, maybe at that point (only 2nd season) they weren't sure they'd be around long enough for those stories to even be used.

 

All about the action with you, otherwise it SUCKS!

 

So, at last weekend's NYCC, Robert Kirkman said that there would be a crossover between the 2 shows some time next year. He said one character would be going from one show to the other. "I'm not saying who. Or which show to which."

Now, FTWD is still behind the main show. And they haven't had any significant time jumps yet. Even Kirkman acknowledged that. When questioned, he simply said wait and see.

I know many have speculated that Madison is possibly related to Rick, or Daryl, or even Carol. I had a crackpot theory that maybe Madison ends up becoming Alpha, the leader of the Whisperers. And they should be coming soon seeing as All Out War will be over this season. It would be fun, but I don't really think they'll go that route, much as I'd like to see something like that.

If I was a betting man, my money would be on a TWD character going to FTWD. And the differing timelines would allow it.

That character? Abraham!

They're close to or in Texas now. We know he started his journey/ story there. I suppose it could be Eugene or Rosita, but let's face it. The fans would love more Abraham.

And maybe, just maybe, it sets both shows on a path where they eventually merge. Or it's just fan service. I'm ok with that.
