The Walking Dead Season 6

[meyers7]

Zero chance it's Daryl imo. He's way too popular of a character. Ratings.

Norman does have another TV project though....just sayin'.

The best would be Carl. Rick would become absolutely unhinged--to great effect. And I dislike Carl's stupidass hair so I wouldn't have to look at it anymore.

Less than zero chance. One, they are not gonna stray from the comics that much and two, from a story line, Negen is not gonna want to piss of anyone that much. He want's Rick to be subordinate, not manically pissed off with nothing to lose.

True, but it's not exactly the tough time commitment type of thing.

Oh, I agree. It would just be ideal from my perspective. That's why it's likely not Michonne either.

Yea, looking into it, it's only 6 episodes AND it's done by AMC. Soo, I'm guess they could/would work around that easily.

But Negen doesn't know that. He does know Carl is Rick's son.

What's sad is I am not eager for the next season. I'll watch but i am already waiting for the Yanks. And Shameless. And Saul. Wanting to know who had their head bashed in is just not something I need to clutter my mind.

I am assuming the Bod Armor Boys have an army that will ride through the woods with Carol, Morgan, Hilltoppers and Alexandrians.

I also thought Rick was gonna do another throat chomp on a bad guy last night.

 

[UConn Dan]

I think the death will be relatively unimpressive thus they wanted to make Negan's intro the sole focus in the finale.

My money is on Eugene, with Abraham a close second.

It's definitely not Rick or Carl based on what Negan said while he was bashing whomever's head in.

Yea, I imagine it's pretty cluttered already.

I'm kind of interested in knowing who they are. I imagine they have another community. That would make 3 along with the Saviors. They're world is expanding.

I also thought Rick was gonna do another throat chomp on a bad guy last night.

I've heard Negen is a pretty big deal in the comics. Along with all the buildup to his arrival, I imagine he'll be around for quite awhile. At least season 7, probably into season 8. Don't see Rick dispatching this one too quickly, even with Jesus' help.

Eugene makes the most sense to me. The twist of him becoming a 'survivor' and then becoming easily scrubbed out would provide a little contrast.

Also, there would have been foreshadowing with him giving the bullet plans to Rick. So they could keep that plot point open as well.

It could be a very useful and bloody story line though. Would pack some action into the series.

If I was Negan I would bash my biggest threat...Rick. Then Abraham.

Alas...I Googled it. Will see if they go off-comic.

Don't know if he sees Rick as that big of a threat, yet. He doesn't or hasn't had that much trouble subordinating groups/leaders. So it would seem anyway. I suppose if Rick acts up, he'd have no trouble getting rid of him. (from a tactical stand point, just move someone more pliable into the leadership; we all know the difficulty of getting rid of the protagonist)

I hope they do go off comic, otherwise, not much of a cliffhanger if half your audience already knows.

Rick just looks beaten right now. After the comically stupid plan of running through the woods with Maggie on a stretcher, I'm not surprised.

At best, they should have split groups into three or four. Fan out in all diff directions from a central location. Keep maggie and two capable guys with guns in the RV. Doubled back to the original driving point, and bust through. Also, if they had the time (don't know the distance), they should have gotten another truck to use as a battering ram ahead of the RV.

Also, if they had any rocket launcher missiles left, that would have been a good time to bust them out. I didn't count the original rounds nor how many they used (at least 3 tho).

 

[Tommyboy]

On the Talking Dead, they questioned them (Gimple and Kirkman) and they both said they like cliffhangers. Lot's of shows have cliffhangers. meh. I think cliffhangers work much better at the mid-season finale instead of at the end of the season. You need some closure.

They bungled the mid-season cliff hanger as well. If they truly wanted to get a great cliff hanger it would have ended with Carl getting shot in the eye and him saying "Dad?". Then you don't know if he is going to live or die. Instead of having that kid repeating mom a few times.

 

[Chuck]

Finale was okay. Would've saved myself 45 minutes of garbage by waiting to watch on DVR. I don't love the show is much as I used to, but I'll keep watching. I hope they don't go too dark. Some points/predictions.

1) I've thought of how society would rebuild. I can see there being an accelerated run through human history. It was tribal, and now we're headed to somewhat of a feudal system. I like it. Could Rick be the legend of King Arthur that can help unite decent (not all good, but not evil like the Saviors) factions? I've always thought of him more of a Moses that will never be able to enjoy the promised land that he is trying to lead his people to.

2) I hope Enid doesn't starve to death. Carl is a paternalist wannabe dck.

3) To me it's 99% Eugene or Abraham that were killed. From a show perspective, you can remove Daryl. Too popular and allows them to stray from the comic because he isn't / wasn't a character. It can't be Rick (as leader), or Carl, as his son (although that would help with his aging problem). Glenn is a possibility (especially considering this season's tease of his death), but if Negan knows Maggie is pregnant, that might push the Alexandrians too far.

They blatantly set-up for a loss of Eugene (I'm a survivor, here are my plans Rick), and Abraham (can we have lives like Glenn and Maggie). Plus their goodbye embrace. If I'm Negan it would be Abraham. Take out the guy that looks bad-arse and not scared. Leave the weak one behind (Eugene) that will probably not instigate future problems. Also, the group was willing to sacrifice Eugene (leaving him with RV). Don't let them dictate who I take out. The reason that it could be Eugene if I'm Negan? Eugene might not be too important to making the stuff I need. Also, how does Negan recruit all these tough, depraved, psychopaths? Abraham certainly has a look like he could be one of them.

I'm going with Abraham. Next season we'll pick up in a beaten-down Alexandria that is subservient to the Saviors. We'll find out who was killed when Glenn comes in and asks Maggie "how is Baby Herschel Abraham is doing." The rest of the season will be about back channeling between Savior subservients. Carol and Morgan will try to convince Don Quixote and his group that the Alexandrians can be trusted. Eugene will either: 1) secretly build their bullet factory which will eventually be distributed to the subservients; or 2) the bullet factory will become what Alexandria can produce for the Saviors.

Agree that would have been better. Actually thought Episode 6-9 went with the first half of the season. And the 2nd half really started with 6-10.

It'll work better on DVD and marathons.

Yea, they did a good job with that. And Andrew Lincoln did a great job acting. They had built up his (their) confidence in the past few episodes just to have it shattered right then and there. And it was. You could see it. Great job.

At best, they should have split groups into three or four. Fan out in all diff directions from a central location. Keep maggie and two capable guys with guns in the RV. Doubled back to the original driving point, and bust through. Also, if they had the time (don't know the distance), they should have gotten another truck to use as a battering ram ahead of the RV.

Yea, I said that to my wife. Wish they had that RPG.

Yea, told my wife, cool we get and hour and a half....just means more commercials.

I've always thought of him more of a Moses that will never be able to enjoy the promised land that he is trying to lead his people to.

Interesting. I always thought the end would be Carl (the only one left) heading down the road (maybe on a horse) all alone, just like his dad started out.

2) I hope Enid doesn't starve to death. Carl is a paternalist wannabe dck.

I know right? I figured somebody would find her eventually, but geez. But probably better in the end she didn't come with them.

I could see it being Abraham. Especially when, whomever it was, got back up after the first blow. He's pretty thick-headed.

 

[UConn Dan]

Also, "taking it like a champ" probably points us to Abraham.

 

[junglehusky]

Drive 20 miles, road's closed, turn around.

Drive 30 miles, road's closed, turn around

Drive 40 miles road's closed again....

Yeah, that was worth the extra 30 minutes.

 

[BUHusky]

L. O. L.

I didn't think this show could insult its viewers more than it already had this season. Oh how wrong I was...

 

[UConn990411]

Rick's escape from another impossible situation is gonna be laughable.

This season was a D- at best.

 

[huskysupporter]

Oh man, Andrew Lincoln could be the worst lead actor in television. His over emoting was comical.

Contrast that to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who kills it in almost anything he does. Even if it is the same character most of the time, it's an awesome character.

 

[Fishy]

Once again, on foot, they somehow wander into a crowd of people mysteriously standing around waiting for them.

Rick is quite possibly the worst gang leader since the oaf from Sons of Anarchy. And the final scene, good lord.

This show is becoming cartoon-stupid.

Mysteriously? Were you unable to follow the plot?

Well it is/was a comic.

 

[Deadrody]

I am impressed how susceptible they are to being stuck up on in the woods or surrounded by large men in flannel shirts who just seem to be randomly standing in a road or the woods. And all of them shop at the Big and Tall shop.

By my count, this is the 878th time Darryl and Glen have been snuck up on.

Indeed. My point is more about the sad writing in which anyone's skill or ability can be turned on or off on a whim as a lazy plot device.

You just don't have "tracker redneck" out in the woods tracking people from 2 days ago 1) flanked by people with no such ability whatsoever, and then 2) incapable of detecting the presence of the very same people he was tracking in the first place. Just lazy, lazy writing.

I'm not making a commentary on the ability of people to track or be tracked in the woods. Just that the writing on this show has seemingly gone way downhill. Either that, or I'm jsut becoming more aware of how bad the writing has been since the beginning as the same plot devices are recycled again and again and again.

Stop. They could just have Rick eat a bowl of Cheerios for an entire hour and you'd show up here to defend its brilliance.

This is the millionth time people have mysteriously gathered in mass in a perfect circle exactly where these people are walking. It's just goofy.

And I'll repeat, running through a thick forest in the dead of night with no light, hauling a **cking pregnant woman on a stretcher...in the same the same forest where your enemy is hiding no less ...is a hell of a plan.

I have no creative writing skill, have never even done it actually, but I guarantee I could have written a better plot sequence than that. In fact, I think I even outlined a better one in this thread.

 

[Dogdeacon]

At this point the show is essentially the Batman series with Adam Ward & we are upset at the heroes & villains for the improbable escapes from certain death cliffhangers. It is a comic.

I was expecting it to be really awful going in (watched last night so I'd heard negative buzz but nothing direct) so was pleasantly surprised that only the ending was truly terrible (both the cliffhanger & the hike/surrounded non-plan). Up to that point it was suspenseful and I honestly thought Eugene was going to suicide bomb the Rust-bucket and take out a sizable chunk of Negans.

Negan's introduction was blah since we knew he wasn't killing the entire cast (although THAT woulda been great) but I did like his line about 'future serial killer' Carl.

I'm sorry you can't follow a plot. If it's soooo difficult (or goofy) for you, then maybe you should just stop watching.

I realize quite a few of you on here are not real bright (evidenced by how often I have to come on here and explain stuff to you). Maybe it would be best if you just watched some of them other "brilliantly written" shows.
