The Walking Dead Thread

[War Machine Dawg]

Any guesses on who? Since they've killed off all of Rick's other love interests is Michonne next on the block or think they'll go more the Abraham/Eugene route? Rick and Daryl are about the only two I would consider safe.

Actually, Kurtzman (the creator) has said he believes he could kill anyone and keep the show going. But his favorite character is Carol and he doesn't want to kill her. So basically, everyone but Carol is fair game. If I'm going predictions on who it is: Glenn, Maggie, Eugene, Abraham, or Tara.

Jesus, will actually be a good guy. I think we will have some new people join the cast.

They may still off Glenn, but I think one of Abraham, Rosita, or Sasha will be gone. It never fails that when one character starts talking about trying to start a normal life they end up dead. Last night we saw Abraham really starting to want to try and do that so him or one of his lady friends will bite it. Although I will say, I can't believe it looks like he is really conflicted about choosing between Rosita or Sasha. To me, that ain't even a contest. He's already got one of the hottest women on the show. Don't screw that up, man! Not for Sasha.

My favorite part of the show last night was right after Rick killed a guy in the Hilltop group he gets up covered in blood and asks, "What?"

Agree about Rick... He was covered in blood again and he just acted normal.

Rick or Michone one are going to take a dirt nap at some point before the series finale. Their love interest may speed it up though. I don't think they'll mess with Darryl. I think anyone else is fair game, except maybe Rick. I'm starting to think Carl is a bionic boy too.

One thing that didn't get a lot of talk was Carl's moment with Michone on the porch. He said it wasn't his place to kill what's her face out in the woods. It should be family. That's one of two things: 1) foreshadowing or 2) Carl becoming a decent person in the middle of a chit storm of chaos that enveloped the world. Either of which are significant developments.

I'm a Jesus fan.

Maggie as a leader seems forced.

I don't think you'll see any of those characters bite the dust until ratings start to slip (or until one of them asks for a big contract). I don't think the creators are like Martin in that they take a perverse pleasure in showing that none of the characters are ultimately important (or at least you can't tell from teh story arc which ones will be important and which ones will die off). I think the Walking Dead tv show has some popular characters and they're not going to rock the boat just to rock the boat. I think that's why you see the unrealistic seal Team 6 stuff. They're not going to kill off popular characters just to kill them off.

Maggie as a leader seems forced.

Not nearly as forced as the red head's character. I get that she was supposed to be the mirror image of Carol, but it just wasn't believable. They've both pretty unrealistic characters, but Carol is much better at pulling the persona off and she also has the benefit of some character development.

I think they are going to pull a Gov/Tyrese/Hershel switcharoo on Negan/Glenn/Abraham...

Negan about to 86 Glenn

Negan about to 86 Glenn

I still think it'll be in the season finale

Holy crap what a wicked episode.

[starkvegasdawg]

Holy crap what a wicked episode.

To say the least. That was wild. Even the mid series premiere didn't have me on the edge of my seat like last night did. Once you got past the acorn beet cookies it was an excellent episode.


i was wondering how they would end up that not being the end of the savior story line since Neegan was still upright and taking nourishment. I guess now we know. I guess the question now is how big of a dent did they put in their group?

My top 4 most likely candidates to die this season are Maggie, Glen, Michonne, and Daryl.

[Tbonewannabe]

It was interesting that Carol is showing remorse for all the people who she has killed and then leaves a cookie on Sam's grave. She is looking at Maggie like she wants to protect her from becoming what she is. Oddly enough her fighting with Maggie is what got them caught.

Glenn also crossed the line of now taking someone's life. He also took the burden from the other guy so he could still be "pure" or however you might describe it. At the end they took those people's lives but with a gun. It is probably a little big different than sliding a blade into the eye socket. Glenn seeing the pictures on the wall of Negan's handy work was another interesting nod to the comics. It will be interesting if they go down the path the comic has laid.

I personally would enjoy it if the show differs from the comic similar to Game of Thrones. GRR Martin has said he is thinking of a twist for the books that is impossible for the show because the character is alive in the books but dead in the show.

I didn't like the way Abraham treated that pretty girl. She's too good for him. If someone has to die, I guess I'd lose the least amount of sleep over him dying.

Had someone here at work and fellow ED poster theorize that Sasha will be on the cutting block and force Abraham to come grovelling back to Rosita. And I agree, she is waaaay too hot to be treated that way. I also like the way the guy on Talking Dead put it...That was guaranteed ass. You don't throw away guaranteed ass.

Also hot Latina ass, she looks like she could throw down.

You better believe it. The fact that she had no problem a couple seasons ago when Eugene was watching them let me know she was a freak in the sack.

Neegan won't kill Glen. It's going to be Darryl.

I've heard that rumor. You really think they'll take him off the show? I hope not.

[Bully13]

If darryl goes, I may also
