The Walking Dead (AMC) TV Show • Page 178

Gotcha, I don't watch Fear the Walking Dead and I definitely don't recall the main show talking about his history, but I'd be lying if I said I was 100% paying attention to every episode for the past three years.

 

Wow what an anticlimactic finale. Lotsa time and energy on this arc to end like that. Coolio kill though.

 

Biggest zombie heard and threat yet and the biggest character death was someone who's name I didn't know before this episode (not including Beta).

 

It’s because the walking dead killed almost everyone of importance before season 10. All we have left is Rosita, Eugene, Gabriel, Negan and maybe Aaron and Ezekiel. They’ll never kill Daryl or Carol

 

I mean, there is Judith, but given how negatively fans reacted to Carl's death, the chances she'd be killed off are basically zero. And as wild as it would've been for Maggie to die immediately after reintroducing her, Lauren Cohan already being confirmed as a S11 regular tipped that hand.

 

The biggest problem I had with S10E16 was the plan to lure away the walkers from the hospital. Yes, Daryl & Co. made sure the giant horde behind them was kept at a distance, but what if another group of nearby zombies were drawn to the noise, then came at them from literally any other direction?

Also, did they have to repeatedly rewind a cassingle of "Burning Down The House" for hours or what?

 

I'm pretty sure the boombox/stereo they used was a CD player. The zombie apocalypse didn't start in 1987.

 

When Daryl was speaking to Gabriel via walkie-talkie, he said, “Luke’s duct-taping a bunch of wires to a tape deck,” so I doubt it was a CD player.

 

LOL. I missed that. Though Daryl is a redneck, so maybe he doesn't know what CDs are.

 

The Fear season finale is replaying right now and it's making me realize how much I like a lot of these characters. I think the story got a little meh in Season 5 compared to seasons 3 and 4 but but I really do like a lot of the characters and some of the interpersonal connections they've made.

 

I agree about the characters. It’s a shame the plots, villains, and tone in seasons 4 & 5 were lackluster overall because the actors have had to do a lot of heavy lifting & that can only go so far when the writing isn’t done well.

Excited for the promise of S6 to be more intimate stories because the character-driven episodes of the past couple seasons have been real highlights (“Laura”, “Close Your Eyes”, “The End of Everything”).

I plan to watch the S6 premiere again to properly take everything in, but upon first viewing, I enjoyed it. There’s certainly more grit to it than the series has previously had under Chambliss & Goldberg. Also, I’m glad they seem to have done away with that Snyder-esque muted colour palette.

 

Just finished episode 2 of World Beyond, found it kinda boring. I’ll give the series the benefit of the doubt at this point by guessing they’re intentionally going for a slow build to a large payoff, or just giving the characters time to develop, but on its own, the episode did nothing for me.

 

Ep2 of World Beyond is the first ever episode in this franchise that I just turned off midway through and did something else.

 

Personally wouldn't be caught dead watching it, but I just looked at World Beyond's ratings and it's a 35% on RT and a 4.5 on imdb.

YIKES.

 

I’m def gonna give it a watch, especially since it’s supposedly just a two season mini series, but isn’t it supposed to be geared more towards YA?

 

Just watched episode 3 of WDWB and liked it more than the first two, especially the last scene. I think watching with the perspective of it being The Walking Dead as a CW show has helped me enjoy it more than I otherwise would.

Every time Felix speaks, though, his voice reminds me of Justin Long's character from Zack & Miri Make a Porno and I can't take it seriously at all.

 

So we have Sesame Street on for our toddler and it’s naturally a Halloween episode and they just did a whole Walking Dead spoof with Cookie Monster as Rick and The Walking Gingerbread men coming for his cookies lol. They even had a Governor puppet.

 

Lol yes they released that a few years ago and it’s hilarious. I remember watching it with my son when he was two years old and cracking up at the intro alone.

 

The pop culture references on sesame street was one of the most shocking parts of becoming a parent.

 

Da fuck?

 

FINALLY paid up and watched the season 10 finale.

I liked it. But Beta’s death did feel anti-climatic.

we fell way behind on everything so I gotta catch up with the newest Fear season and the world beyond one.

 

Haven't watch world beyond, but I was very high on the latest fear season!

 

World Beyond S1 got better, but never became great imo. Too slow of a burn and too much padding (still more watchable than S4 & S5 of Fear, though.)

They set up for a lot of interesting potential conflict in S2, so I’m still looking forward to whenever that premiers.

 

I remember liking S4 of Fear a lot. Not as much as how awesome S3 was though, there was def some downhill movement there. S5 continued to skid down a little bit but it did enough to keep me intrigued as to where the story was going and as I said earlier in this thread, it has managed to make me care about more of the characters than TWD has been able to beyond the original group tbh lol. I gotta watch S6 soon here.
