**SPOILERS**The Walking Dead discussion thread

[Carlybee]

This is supposedly who he is talking to:



He is from the hospital, and he definitely knows Beth.

Hmmm...interesting.

Now we know.

WTF Daryl?? First you lose Beth, now Carol! Good Grief man, being your girl isn't looking so good right now. I bet he finds that guy ^^^and he tells him where Beth is but it doesn't look like we're going to find out next week.

And Cops, they're even $#@! during the Zombie Apocalypse.

One more thing, nothing good happens at Grady Hospital. If you ever find yourself there GTFO ASAP.

[Mr.NoSmile]

Pretty sure the alternative title for last night's episode was "Everybody Hates Chris AND Beth."

I don't know... It looks like they're splitting up the story lines. Next week, it seems like they'll be following the Washington-bound crew. Maybe the week after that, they'll get back to Rick's team and put them on the mission to save Beth and Carol? Although, how much fun would it be to watch one of those cops try to have their way with Carol?!

[Brian4Liberty]

The people at the hospital kind of had a point about Beth always needing saving. It's all that ever happens with her. She would have been dead right outside the hospital if they hadn't saved her (again).

Yeah, bless her heart, the unarmed guy that fell down the elevator shaft got away and she would've been eaten if it weren't for the cops.

[CPUd]

Speculation and unconfirmed rumors are saying Beth is gonna die. Scott Wilson was seen on set again, which means there may be some flashback scenes with Hershel, and possibly attended a farewell party for Emily Kinney. That would contradict earlier clues, like she is credited in 5 of the final 8 episodes, but if she appears in every episode 4-8, that would be 5 of the first 8.

This is the imdb thread that gives a summary of the episodes 4-8:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1520211/...read/236350661

It was posted before last night's episode, and for episode 4 is somewhat accurate. But you never can tell with imdb. Real spoilers get posted there, but also a lot of BS. Like if you see a photo of Emily Kinney with her throat cut, it's not from TWD, but an episode of The Following she did last year. They did the same thing with Norman Reedus- posted a frame from another movie he died in, Pandorum.

Also, a bit more solid that Noah is going to start a major plotline, where the camp in Richmond he said he came from is the Alexandria safe zone from the comics.

Fun Fact from Talking Dead: The hospital is a real (shut down) hospital in Newnan, GA.

That's what I figured as soon as I heard him explain where he came from.

So I wonder if the group will still meet that motorcycle scout/recruiter from Alexandria ... erm, Richmond, I mean ... (I can't remember his name)

[CPUd]

Found some deleted scenes from Season 2 box set. This is back when everyone didn't really get along well, and they cover up the kids' eyes when the walkers come around:






edit: some of those scenes were in the episodes, but were cut differently.

Norman Reedus posted this to his facebook page:

[Brian4Liberty]

No comments yet on last night's episode?

It's about time! She has been trying to get killed since she came on the show.

[Brian4Liberty]

It's okay this time because she saved Daryl's life. If the bitch keeps it up, I'm gonna have a problem with her.

Didn't you hear? Daryl is gay.

[CPUd]

The world weeps for the heartbreaking loss of Dawn.

[Brian4Liberty]

Tend to agree with this take...

I don't know what The Walking Dead's writers were trying to get at in the Dawn-Beth confrontation, but it did not work. At all. It required Dawn to make a dumb decision, which was irritating but keeping in her character, but it also required Beth to make an inexplicable, dumb decision of her own, and then tried to make us feel bad that Beth basically entered a lion's den and started poking the dumbest lion in there. I would have liked to mourn her, as many of The Walking Dead's most powerful moments are when its main characters die, but the nonsensical shallowness of the scene and the arbitrary, unnecessary death made it impossible. What a wasted opportunity.

Dawn didn't really make that decision to shoot, Beth triggered a reflex. Immediately after the shot, she realized what she did and started to freak out.

The scene where the other cop disarmed her before ending up getting pushed down the elevator shaft, this is where Beth learned how to bring out Dawn's true nature. He told her that her people deserve to know who they are working for. In the 1 or 2 seconds between when Beth stabbed her and Daryl shot her, both groups saw who she really was, and at least on that day, everyone had a choice to stay there or leave.


Beth turned out to be the complete opposite of Dawn, and she realized it during this moment:

Yep.

The "dumb" decision they were talking about Dawn making was when she demanded they hand over Noah after the prisoners were already exchanged.

[phill4paul]

For a season that started off with a great first episode I'm left feeling kinda "meh" with the seasons progression.

[CPUd]

I'm OK with it if some of the stuff from the last 3 or 4 becomes more important later, like they did last season with "The Grove".

Robert Kirkman was on the after show last night and said for sure that Daryl is not gay (because of all the questions the show has been getting about it), but there will be a prominent new gay character from the comics appear on the TV show for the 2nd half of the season.

Also, it was mentioned 2 times in the episode last night that Noah wants to go home to Richmond, so they are likely headed towards DC anyway.

[CPUd]

Also, what is Gig Guy's RPF username??

[Suzanimal]

Didn't you hear? Daryl is gay.

I ought to -rep you for that.

So, Tyrese died. Damnit.

Interesting quote I ran across from the actor...

I knew they had compromised the character. [Once you lie,] you’re inviting something on yourself. Bush and Cheney said, “Let’s go over there and say there’s weapons of mass destruction so we can do what we need to do.” There’s a cost for doing things like that. That’s why it was a little trippy for me [not because Tyreese spared Martin’s life]. You should always wrestle with whether to kill or not. You should be uncomfortable. I really don’t care if somebody thinks it’s soft. If you’re not in touch with your vulnerability, you’re not going to be an effective leader. You need a balance [and] to be in touch with your feminine side.

The death of this character bummed me out more than the other recent deaths.

[Lucille]

That was a cool episode.

Interesting:

Lauren Cohan is the subject of novelist Jacob M. Appel's essay, "She Loves Me Not," in his essay collection, Phoning Home.

She says Appel is her favorite author.

OK then!

[CPUd]

They keep playing on the comics with Glenn and baseball bats. Though Tyreese died on the show the way Morgan died in the comic, and Hershel died on the show the way Tyreese died in the comics. Same with Bob (Dale in the comics). If the show follows this trend, someone who is not Glenn will get smashed in the head with a bat. Maybe Glenn will be the one with the bat; there is already some foreshadowing that Glenn is getting ready to lose his $#@!.

The group of people who destroyed Noah's hometown may be called the Whisperers, their victims called them 'wolves' (we saw something about wolves was spray painted on a wall). What they do is hack the bodies in half and use the top half as camouflage while they travel inside large walker herds. This is why there were all those legs outside the fence, and upper halves in the vehicles. The heads have 'W' carved into them so they can tell themselves apart from real walkers, so they are wolves in sheep clothing.

Interesting, and explains some things. I'm going to have to read the comics one of these days.

[Brian4Liberty]

Is it just me, or is Noah the new Beth? Useless and keeps getting other people killed.

[willwash]

I just can't watch it anymore. They just keep dragging it on and on and on.

The last episode was the most boring thing I ever watched---that and Boyhood.
