In the episode where we saw a Negan flashback with his wife, he was playing a Xbox 360 game.

What games do you think he’s playing?

Like hellloooo Daryl, you left the keys in the padlock, then killed Lydia's 'people' but didn't hold onto your weapon.....duh

It could be incredibly minor or something that’s a monumental shake up. And anywhere in between.

For me it’s the group saving both Beth and Noah at the hospital and Rick’s group stumbling upon and joining the Saviors first instead of Alexandria. The entire plot line from there basically goes that Rick and Co easily become top enforcers for Negan. The Wolves discover the Saviors instead and after a surprise attack, they’re crushed by the Saviors. They then easily overtake Alexandria shortly after discovering it. But the group grapples with the morality of what they’re now doing through conversations with Deanna and other Alexandrians.

In this scenario, Beth survives since she’s not really in any danger. Noah survives because he isn’t thrown on a run with people who don’t know what they’re doing. Glenn and Abraham also survive. The surgeon lady in Alexandria is also alive and well because she never ends up in a situation where she has to go outside the walls and scavenge but instead ends up with a crossbow bolt in her eye. Tyrese, however, is still dead and Sasha is still dealing with severe PTSD.

Dude used a flat head shover to dig a grave for the Muslim guy... I call bullshit, a flat head shovel? With no other tools, idk if y'all have ever dug a grave, for a cat or a big dog, you best make sure you dig deep enough... Cus cat legs be comin up from the ground at 2 feet after a rain... I just dug my dog's grave, I made sure I went almost 5 feet... I did not wanna see him come up. I love him that's why. Now Daryl, dug a 6x6x3 grave? With a flat head? Again... I love the walking dead but when it comes to digging graves and burying them, first off, why the dead are walking, leave em somewhere, let nature take it's course, cus what they're doing in the show is not a deep enough burial, limbs would be sticking up everywhere. Rant over

I've been wanting to read the comics but I don't really want to buy them. Is there a way to get them for free.

Was it Gareth or his mother Mary?

So I just caught up on DD E5. Carol confirmed that it’s been 12 years since the apocalypse.

I’m just curious… if they make it back with Laurent and Laurent meets RJ and Judith… Judith is like a year younger than Laurent, but Cailey Fleming is 17 now and clearly Laurent’s actor is much younger (more age appropriately cast at this point). Which is no fault of anyone’s… but do you think it would be strange if Laurent meets Judith? They can’t just recast Cailey, she’s phenomenal. Possibly some tricks to make her appear younger?

Just some thoughts! 😁

I’m on season 8 of fear of the walking dead and it’s so bad and so boring I don’t know if I can continue watching it. Do I skip season 8 and 9 to go watch Daryl Dixon or struggle through it?

Edit : On Season 7 with a couple episodes and Season 8 to go

Cannot believe it’s already been 14 years! TWD followed by “Talking Dead” was such an event. At its height, TWD started outdoing Sunday Night Football in America.

Anyway, after watching the first episode, I was instantly hooked. I vividly remember being at work that night (I worked third shift) and couldn’t get the show out of my head lol.

Return Flight: Calculating the Flight Home for Carol's Magic Plane

It's nice to see the major outlets covering this, too. This article continues the idea that flying an old Beechcraft Bonanza across the Atlantic is less plausible than the dead rising to eat people, but works out how the series COULD have done it right AND told a better story than what we have in Season 2. Imagine if Carol and Daryl spent a season TRYING to get home rather than getting involved in another long Lone Wolf & Cub adventure.

i marked spoiler just incase.

how do you think the characters of TWD (including them in spin-offs) would react to early season issues?

a couple of examples i thought of were;

CRM Rick vs maybe Shane in season two

Carol vs Ed - maybe what she’d do if she saw him again or just how differently she’d react if she got put back in that situation.

Daryl Dixon: Daryl vs Merle’s death, if he’d react any different now or the same?

I get that she searched for Glenn cause she had a lead where he could be but after finding out Beth was taken she was more then willing to leave to Washington , and was all "I need to find Glenn , I love Glenn" which got annoying , she new beth 17-18 years and Glenn for like 1 , and coped with Beth's S/H awfully by trying to guilt trip her into staying alive with "mom would be ashamed she raised such a coward"

My thoughts on this are twofold:

1) I absolutely was hoping the call was about Rick. It fucking sucks that it wasn't about Rick. The bigwigs and producers absolutely suckered us into thinking things will lead towards Daryl and Carol seeing Rick again.

However, that's the problem. Once Daryl/Carol and Rick/Michonne see each other again ... TWDU is over. FTWD has ended. TWB has ended. TOWL has ended. Tales was not received well. TWDU doesn't have much steam left in it.

In order to keep the franchise going "30, 40 or 50 more years" (This is a quote from the AMC CEO for newer fans), they need to keep closure from occurring. Closure occurs when the main-show cast of TWD reunites.

Daryl hugging Rick ends TWDU from a money standpoint. They don't have any reason to continue on because the comics have all been adapted and their other shows are completed (Aside from Dead City).

2) What we learned Carol meant was she gets nervous when "things get too quiet," or when they aren't fighting for their lives.

Carol has fought her whole life, even before the Zombie Apocalypse with Ed. She didn't like when things became easy and comfortable with Ezekiel after the Saviors. She didn't like when things became easy and comfortable after the Commonwealth/Main Show ending.

This is all because of her trauma.

Carol needs Daryl. Finding and seeking out Daryl would put her back into the wilderness. Back into the fear and trauma. It's absolutely brilliant and completely accurate for these two individuals.

Daryl and Carol both thrive in the Zombie Apocalypse because they were meant for it, even more so than Rick. Daryl had a broken home and a drug-addled childhood; Carol had been physically battered and emotionally tortured by Ed for years.

It is a survival instinct that kicks-in for both of them that has been around pre-apocalypse. Carol needed to seek out Daryl because Daryl is the only person who completely understands her trauma responses.

Rick and Michonne adapted to the Zombie Apocalypse in order to survive, but Daryl and Carol feel at home in it and like it (Think Bane's speech in The Dark Knight Rises).

This was never about going back to the Commonwealth and finding Rick. This was about continuing to remain unhealed because Carol and Daryl learned that when they heal, bad stuff happens.

When good things happened to Carol, bad things follow, in her trauma-ridden mind:
Ed dying = Sophia dies.
Prison is safe = Carol has to kill Karen and David.
Alexandria is stable = Carol has to kill Savior Paula to save Maggie.
Ezekiel loves Carol = Henry dies.
Commonwealth is stable = Carol has to kill Lance.
Commonwealth is stable again = Carol has to go off and find Daryl.
Carol found Daryl = Carol has to kill Genet.

When Daryl lets his guard down, bad things follow, in his trauma-ridden mind:
Daryl stopped looking for Merle = Merle is taken by the Governor.
Daryl stopped looking for Sophia = Sophia dies.
Daryl leaving Merle in the woods = Leads to Merle being killed and Daryl having to put down his zombie.
Daryl stopped searching for Beth = Leads to Beth getting shot and killed.
Daryl lashes out at Negan during eenie-meeny-miny-moe = Negan beats Glenn to death.
Daryl punched Rick and was rude to him = Rick blows himself and the bridge up.
Daryl stops looking for Rick = Rick could be dead.
Daryl lets Leah in and is happy = Leah turns bad and almost kills Maggie.
Daryl stops looking for Michonne and Rick = They could be dead.
Daryl stops fighting The Power of the Living = Isabelle dies.

They will eventually get back to the Commonwealth and Rick, but they have to heal first. NOW, are the producers not letting them heal to string along TWDU? Correct.

So in the commonwealth yumiko asks about her brother if he’s there, she mentions he’s a surgeon. But when they meet up he tells her not to tell anyone he’s a surgeon.. yet the next time he’s a surgeon in the hospital, like wtf am I missing something???

i just find it interesting during covid the zombies were all social distancing in the horde it made me laugh because it took me a few minutes to realize when the episode was filmed normally they are really close to eachother shows that the creator cares about there extras

In my opinion it had quite a lot of people I hated but I cannot decide between Nicholas, Carlson and Sebastian. What do you guys think?

Yooo Im a huge TWD fan from India

I watched till S10 back in 2019 but Netflix India hadnt uploaded post that Season till quite late. Im rewatching now in 2024 and have fallen in love w it all over again…

watching FTWD now since its available on Prime

But i wanna know where I can watch the other spin offs… are they available on any indian platforms? if not, where can I watch them for free??

Ruby.. from Max and Ruby

S1 was great. Fresh and outstanding writing. This latest season has totally shit the bed. Ridiculously contrived and convenient plotting, the Daryl/Carol reunion could not have been more underwhelming, and all the interesting characters introduced last year are now dead. How disappointing.
