The Walking Dead Season 6

[Dove]

It just dawned on me...no Carol last night? She's still in the town. Did she split when she walked past Morgy?

Its funny how characters appear. Like the priest guy...he wasn't in the show either. And 5 episodes in Abe and Sasha have basically driven around, tho the timeline will expand next week with them.

It would be interesting to see how they film each actor's parts based on schedules. Like so far, 5 episodes in and the scenes with Darryl, Abe and Sasha were probably 1 day.

her face looks like a zombie without ever having been bit

My wife commented that she hopes they are making her look that bad on purpose and it isn't just her.

I am really enjoying this season. Glad it has bounced back.

Has anyone else noticed that the actress that plays Maggie is really struggling with her accent? Was glaring last episode.

Found it odd no mention of Carol this past episode. Weird.

I think when they put you in a mysteriously convenient but otherwise unknown sewer tunnel your accent gets twice as thick. Do you think Aaron ever mentioned this tunnel when Tovah the decaying face but perfectly dyed haired congresswoman/poker player was putting together emergency evacuation plans or did they just figure since Atlanta's plan was botched why bother with one?

Don't think they had an evacuation plan. They were pretty content just living in Alexandria.

Yep. They hammered that home last episode. They were fine in their isolated little paradise.

Yea, they have kinda been hammering that for awhile.

 

[intlzncster]

Enough with the naivete of Alexandrians. What's the point/their point of the Alexandrians either disagreeing with Rick or contending that their doomed? They've bitched and done the the food-bank raid, but given what these nervous ninnies say they should all either be suicides or stark-raving mad. The dialogue is just dumb.

It's like any 'horror' movie or series. The narrative demands a large amount of stupid people or nothing exciting would ever happen.

Priest guy is one of, if not, the most annoying characters currently in the show.

How can he be that annoying, he's hardly ever seen?

I feel you, if Andy Dufrene simply strode down a sewer tunnel that big Shawshank is diminished.

Amusing thing is how Walking Dead backs itself along with its characters onto Zombie surrounded dumpster fires. An ostrich (Alexandrian) ought to ask Rick why they can't just Pied piper the herd back into the quarry & burn em, but Rick would have to shoot the insubordinate for not suggesting that 4 episodes ago.

Actually, Rick did say that he was waiting on Sasha, Abraham and Daryl to get back so they could Pied Piper them away.

Unfortunately it seems those 3 have run into some trouble.

That's simply a testament to just how annoying he actually is. In limited screen time, he manages to out annoy damn near every character that's ever been on the show. And for some inexplicable reason, he keeps surviving!

That's pretty funny. I've never even thought of that. But I'll never watch it the same again.

I have to say, the most infuriating thing is watching members of Rick's crew still, to this day, struggle to fight zombies. Eg. Maggie, walking around oblivious and then getting man-handled by a zombie in that underground tunnel. Which required saving from an Alexandrian. That should have been a simple dispatch, right through the eye.

If these people had any sense, they'd all carry a dagger and a Katana (ie Michonne) for hand to hand. Those are clearly the most effective weapons. With that kit, I feel like I could kill a group 10 zombies without breaking a sweat. It's not like these are the zombies from 28 Days Later.

Yeah, that's kinda where for me the horror movie trope you mentioned is fine. If it creates some good action I can auto-suspend disbelief.
In contrast Eugene's got absolutely nothing to do, so he should become the professor on Gilligan's island & build pro-types of zombie fighting suites with spikes & pads that prevent bites. At a minimum kids should be wearing full pads at all times. But despite what Meyers might think, the show's money maker isn't about actually dealing with or learning to survive the apocalypse, its about the gore & the BOO! = that explains the plot much more than any of our venting.

true. i just wish the creators of the show made the zombies a little more dynamic. it works for the graphic novels, as you never notice the disparity between threat and speeds, but the visual of show makes it too glaringly obvious.

Well they are not called "Walkers" for nothing.

I think she was having trouble because her heavily decomposed walker was basically disintegrating as she tried to push it back and could not get any leverage. Of course, then you would have to ask how that zombie had the strength to pin her back in the first place. But then you'd have to ask how any of these rotting corpses can move at all. Now we don't have a show.

I get the decomposed part, but in reality, if she's walking down a dark tunnel, she needs to be on high alert w her Dagger out. When that thing first surfaces, you stab. Or if you're late, side step and stab. Day one stuff really.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Perfectly entertaining episode with Darryl & Abraham. I started to get a little worried about Abraham being felled by a sniper's bullet as he was speechifying about the future and continually standing in front of open windows. Overall though great delivery mechanism for future badass weaponry. The Darryl parts were also entertaining despite the slipups of those clowns getting the drop on his expertise twice. The giant bag labeled INSULIN was classic Walking Dead. We need a reason for Darryl to go back to these people, whoops - we don't want to deal with the ongoing logistics of keeping this chick alive.

 

[Joobie]

Okay....so I really enjoyed last night's episode. I really like the "family" feel that exists in Rick's group. After Sasha's journey into crazy town, I am glad she is on her way back. Any time Daryl is on screen, I am pretty happy. Disappointed in the group he found. I really thought he was going to bring them back to Alexandria, which would only strengthen the group there. They need more people who know how to survive outside the walls. Loved the fact that Daryl found a fuel truck! They can spray the walkers at the wall & set them on fire. What did you think of the voice asking for help over the walkie-talkie? My spouse is convinced that it's Glenn. I thought it was the people who stole Daryl's bike. What do you all think?

Kind of my thoughts, geez now they are gonna have to take care of her back in Alexandria. Oops, nevermind.

They always get diabetes stuff messed up too. Her blood sugars wouldn't have been very high. Hardly ever eating and walking and running, if anything it would have probably been low. Insulin would have killed her. Oh well, almost every show messes this up. They feel the need to give someone a shot I guess. Unless you are eating candy and drinking coke, high blood sugar, which insulin would fix, takes quite awhile to cause problems.

Not sure who the voice was. I'm hoping it's not Glenn's. Doesn't seem like the timeline would work too well for that. ???

Could be the people who stole Daryl's bike, or could be the people who were chasing those people (setting a trap). There is a group from the comics who should be showing up about this time. (and supposedly their leader has been cast and is supposed to show up this season). How they play that and the Wolves and such....IDK. Doubt they are Wolves though, since the Wolves didn't seem to have guns or cars. (though they did have a truck?) But Wolves weren't trading or protecting people either. Just killing them.

Looks like we're back in Alexandria next week. Maybe with Morgan's Wolf causing problems. I have a feeling revisiting Glenn's "death" is in the cards for the mid-season finale.

 

[Dove]

I can't see it being Rick. He ain't the kind of guy to gargel the word "Help." He would have screamed for them to get him at the RV.

Could be Glenn. That dude will need help.

The motorcycle duo probably don't know they have a radio. Maybe Glenn kept his?

Been thinking and this is just a WAG, but Enid has to come back into the scene somehow. They have to find Glenn or his body or the watch at some point. I'm thinking Enid comes across what's left of Glenn and Nicholas, gets herself trapped and uses the radio to call for help. That way she gets rescued, they know for sure Glenn it dead, full closure, midseason finale.

Patty was the fuel truck if you didn't notice the license plate. I suppose that those 3 in the woods thought it was a way for them to be saved from/spared by whomever is after them by going back for it since gas is a valuable commodity.

Abraham making his play at Sasha was very unexpected. I don't even think in the zombie apocalypse that love triangles work out well.

I don't think it was Glenn on the walkie - though I'm a firm believer that he's very much alive (just like Morgan's wolf). My gut is telling me that it's the crew that stole the crossbow and bike.

 

[intlzncster]

I just can't see them spraying walkers w gas and lighting them on fire. Gas is way way too valuable. It would make more sense to waste bullets shooting them all from atop the wall, noise be damned

Eh, all they need is one dialogue mention of Alexandria's 5,000 gallon pressurized gasoline reserves and the fuel truck is expendable. That would beg the question of why they didn't torch those Zombies inside the quarry, so my guess is they simply dump fuel on them without debate. The show's MO is logic shall not get in the way of gore and action.

Gasoline is abundant and lasts forever = Carl ages 6 years in 18 months.

Major problem with child actors. They age.

I thought they were closer to 2 years. ?? About 10 months to Judith's birth and she looks to be over a year old now. (of course she may be aging as fast as Carl )
