The Walking Dead (AMC) TV Show • Page 51

I like how all three characters are in a different location because no matter where the ep takes place, we get one of them

 

Exactly haha.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed that episode. One of which there was good character development, still included the Saviors which are the main plot as of now, and I also liked that Morgan has begun to question whether or not he can continue as he was. Willing to bet I like it more than tonight's episode, which will be the Dwight show.

 

I'm excited for tonight. I like me some Daryl Dwight Negan.

 

nothin' wrong with Dwight, baby!

 

I just think his character is pretty basic. Hoping for more Negan and Daryl, but I think we're gonna get a Dwight backstory and see him not really wanting to be a part of the Saviors, then expressing that to Daryl.

 

Good start to this season. Kinda nice to be away from the main group for a bit lol.

 

Neegan is right... super hot.

 

Scott Aukerman is a good reason to watch Talking Dead.

 

Is it just me or did tonight feature way more commercials?

 

I wondered that same thing or if I had just spaced out a bit. It seemed like it was like two scenes and then commercials. More breaks, but they weren't as long, possibly.

 

I DVRd it and felt like I got through it in like 30 minutes.

 

Was hoping for a Daryl heel turn by joining Negan.

 

I would love it if the show went that direction and actually turned Daryl into a villain. Doubt it though.

 

Well I was sort of right.

But I think I also appreciate D a little more.

If Daryl submitted and said Negan, I think it'd of been cool to have him play the part until the climax of this season or next and have him of been waiting for the right time to get his revenge. But he didn't, and that was also cool.

 

What was the picture?

 

Glenn. Or what was left of him, anyway.

 

Couple things I didn't quite get;

what the letters on the shirt meant
what they were doing to the zombies outside
what Dwight was doing outside on the bike in the first place
were those zombies being tossed off the overpass, or simply falling

 

so dwight will join rick and co by end of season im guessing.

 

1. I think the letters were just a way of dehumanizing the people they use to do their dirty work. They are basically slaves. Fun fact that Daryl's was the letter "A" which is also the letter on the train car they were all trapped in back in season 4. The letter has had a lot of significance throughout the series.

2. I haven't read the comics but I'm pretty sure they have zombies attached all along their perimeter as a defence mechanism to keep people away.

3. Dwight was chasing down that guy in the Blue shirt that escaped.

4. Pretty sure those zombies were just falling.

 

Probably not related, but in the classic literary work The Scarlet Letter, the letter A is used as a sign of being an adulteress, almost a sign of banishment.

 

Yeah, I got that feeling from Daryl, but the other two kind of threw me off.

 

When Breaking Bad had those montages of Walt and Jesse cooking meth or doing other nefarious activities set atop some upbeat poppy music it always felt like a brilliant choice to contrast the two. But when TWD tries it, it comes across as incredibly cheesy and out of place.

All in all I really enjoyed the episode though.

 

I know nothing about the comics, but when The Walking Dead TV series started, had Negan already been created in the comics? Or was Negan created in the comics after the TV series already started? Just wondering how far behind the TV series was when it was created. I know the TV series has caught up with most of the comics by now.
