Doesn't Lucille seem like a bad weapon for the apocalypse?

I mean, it is just a Regular wooden baseball bar with some barbed wire around it. Barbed wire itself isn't as bad as razor wire and I doubt it does something that the baseball bats swing doesn't do worse.

I don't think I've seen him kill walkers with it but don't you think a knife, or even a knife on his bat would be better.

How long for a walker to be entirely rotten

it can take anywhere from several weeks to years for a human body to fully decompose. But I heard that the walkers are decaying slower than a regular dead body, do you have the estimated time or even the exactly time for them to be decayed into skeleton?

When to stop watching TWD?

So me and my girlfriend have recently started watching TWD since I wanted to show it to her. This is my second time watching the show and I remember thinking that it always lacked a clear direction and never had a super overarching narrative. I also remember thinking the later seasons sucked tremendously.

So for those who agree that the later seasons clearly lost tone and direction and what TWD was originally about, when would you say is a good time to stop watching the series? And I don’t just mean when does the show stop being good but when does the story have a somewhat satisfying conclusion?

After Season 1 when they leave the CDC and ride into the sunset to the sound of Bob Dylan’s “Tomorrow Is A Long Time”?

After they kill off the governor for good?

Or something else entirely?

Like if someone asked me when would be a good time to stop watching Supernatural other than after season 15 I’d say after Season 5 since the creative direction clearly changes after the show-runner left and Seasons 1-5 are a somewhat cohesive story whereas after that they expand the narrative considerably. With TWD it doesn’t seem so clear cut.

I hate Henry

Every time I watch season 9 I hate Henry more and more. He is amazingly stupid and his head should have been the only one on a pole.

Hottest take this subreddit will see but...

I think the deer cgi In season 7 episode 12 is quite good for the time honestly, there were alot of movies and shows in the 1970s that didn't look nearly as good.

I stopped watching the franchise after TOWL. Should I start again?

I watched the entire original series (although my love for it dissipated quite a bit after 6, I hung in there for Rick, Michonne, and Carol). I've seen TWB and all but the final two seasons of Fear. I watched about half of the first season of DD and the entirety of TOWL. Then I just...stopped. Fear got so bad. The last few seasons of TWD were only somewhat entertaining to me. I lost hope in the series.

I think I was just very disappointed in the quality of TOWL. I really wanted something better for my Rick/Michonne reuninuon. I'm also not a fan of the "reluctant chaperone takes on miracle child" trope, so while I feel like quality started to go back up in DD, I wasn't really motivated to finish it. I never even started Dead City.

Should I start back up? Is DD season 2 really good? Are there reasons to think something interesting is about to happen in the franchise? Please persuade me my favorite world is worth returning to.

Rick's jeans

So I've been rewatching the series, and I'm trying to determine when Rick acquired his black jeans. In the final episode of season one we see Rick wearing his uniform trousers, but in the first episode of season 2 he's wearing the jeans we see the rest of the series. Did I miss something AGAIN, or is it never really specified? Please help, as I'm truly perplexed by this. As we know that most of what they brought with them into the CDC building would've been destroyed as they were locked into the main room until there was only a few minutes left. Surely we're not supposed to believe they all ran back into the living area and then tried to escape.

Would you ever watch a Negan Cooking show where he’s just being Negan while cooking spaghetti?

Occasionally he might even ended up dragging Carl over and fed him some spaghetti.

He would also have some other guest appearing on the show.

Best seasons for long running characters

I’ve been thinking about the best seasons for individual characters, like how they were used and their storylines, along with their growth. I’ve been wondering if anybody would chip in for 5 characters that I’ve got. Rick, Daryl, Maggie, Glenn, Carol

The Governors true identity

I haven't read the comic books, but I watched YouTuber ”Analyzing Evil" analysis of the governor. After learning more about the comic version and comparing him to the TV show depiction, I began to wonder whether or not the Governor in twd tv show was Phillip or Brian. In the show he is referred to as Phillip, which makes sense in both stories. However, in the comic, Penny is Phillip's daughter not Brian's. Not only that, twd show variation is tall, charming, and intimidating, like Phillip from the comics.

I understand the TV and comics aren't a 1:1 depiction of the characters, but with all this being said, I'm curious about twd tv shows depiction of the Governor and whether or not he is actually Phillip or if it is Brian taking on Phillip's persona. Because a lot of indicators, to me, point to him actually being Phillip and not Brian.

Why are the wall supports for Alexandria on the outside?

Ever since I saw the community for the first time it struck me as odd to have the supports on the outside. Maybe with a mega horde it could be pushed down. it also crossed my mind a well armed group could use those beams to climb in.

Why don't people in TWD just talk it out?

I feel like the majority of all conflicts happen because people are not straight forward enough.
Everyone goes with one side of the story, a lot of tension could be relieved when we hear all stories, so they can all live together in peace. I get that some characters are just evil, but I see really good people with a lack of conflict solving skills struggle really hard to keep a group standing. Thoughts on this?

Which celebrities do you think would’ve been a pretty good choice to had been in the series or spin offs?

Whether if they’re joining the main cast or just appearing as a guest star for a single episode or occasionally as a reoccurring character.

And why? N
