The Walking Dead - Season 5

Pretty sure he is bad news.

I mean I guess there is a chance that he isn't but based on the previews of the next episode it looks like he is.

Given their experiences with strangers who seemed to be kind at first, I'm a bit surprised they didn't just shoot him on sight!

I think given their experiences, I probably would have. Lets face it, they don't have a good track record with Stranger Danger.....

Cleanest dude in the zombie apocalypse though....LOL.


The water sure screamed trap, though what kind? Why poison fellow survivors? Only reason would be to eliminate them as possible risk, but if poisoned, can't go the cannibal route. More likely, would be a sniper trap. Could have still boiled it, treated, etc.

Clearly there are crazies about killing innocent people, and not just killing but mutilating them. Perhaps this guy is apart of that crazy crowd. Any stranger in zombi land who looks like he just got ready for work telling them he has good news while knowing their names is nothing but trouble.

The only clean cut dude in a zombie apolcoplyse who would know my name that I would trust is Jesus. So that guy better start walking on water or else it's curtains!

yeah I was wondering why Abe didnt blow up on Eugene in the comics, My reasoning was he was crushing on Rosita so he kind of had something else to live for.

a reply to: FlyersFan

kind of to your point but what happened to the chaos and danger with the first episode of the season compared with the rest of the episode's this season.

This evening, I was going to 'on demand' the episode from last night. But everything I've read says that this episode is one to skip. It was one hour of absolute nothingness. Daryl burns himself with a cigarette so he can feel the pain of the loss of Beth? That doesn't make sense to me. I may actually skip it.

This entire episode could have just been 3-5 minutes long. It was incredibly boring. Yes, it was supposed to be a character building episode....but not even a day later, I'm sitting here thinking "Ummmm....yea, this episode still sucked." All I remember for character building is Sasha's nuts, and Daryl still smokes. The really only important part was the last minute of this episode.

I think there were trying to build on Maggie's loss, the music box was supposed to mean something. in the after show she was talking about how the walker in the trunk was supposed to make her think of beth. I didnt think about this until someone mentioned it in the after show but are Sasha and Maggies the new Michionne and Andrea Bff's?

Okay ... I watched the episode. It wasn't as dull as people were saying.
The fella who showed up at the end is being called a new major character.
He's also the first major homosexual character for the show.

a reply to: Swills

Lol!

@ Flyers... Tara is a lesbian.

As for the new guy, hard to imagine how they might top terminus in levels of crazy.

I forgot about that.
Okay ... correction ... he's the first male homosexual character.
ETA .. That I can remember.

He's gay? Did they discuss that on the Talking Dead?

Spoiler Alert.....



Allegedly, he's (in the comics) a recruiter for the Alexandria Safe Zone (i.e. our setting for this season). Think of it as Willbury 2, but the baddies (in the comics) are a scavenger group that demand tribute from the community.

Character Info from the Comics - kinda spoiler stuff

Huffington Post Article

It's been talked about in the media for a few months now.

a reply to: FlyersFan

Oh that media I don't read or watch lol

a reply to: Swills

No chris hardwick was trying to play dumb like he doesn't read the comics and was saying I don't know who he is on the Talking dead.

a reply to: American-philosopher

Cause they try and avoid any type of spoilers they can on that show.

I am bummed there was one in here but there was a warning that I just ignored

a reply to: kosmicjack

I've been wondering about that. How can you beat cannibalism?

Years ago, I watched a Law & Order:SVU episode, Pandora it was, and I thought they couldn't write anything worse than that.

I was so wrong.

I don't know anything more than that the Alexandria Safe Zone exists. Nothing about what it is. I'm betting that they figured out a way to make it worse than cannibalism, and that's kinda scary.

a reply to: Sremmos80

I get and understand that but anyone who knows Chris Hardwick knows he likes comic books and was probably reading the walking dead comics before it was a show.

All I am saying is were not stupid.

a reply to: American-philosopher

Ya totally.
He does say that he had read them though, he just is good about not giving away that he knows what's up while he is hosting that show.

In the last episode on the after show Andrew Lincoln was saying that Rick was supposed to be a place of him almost losing it or something along those lines. That he is barely hanging on. Did anyone else feel that? I didn't get the representation of Rick. I mean he should still be carrying around the phone to show that he is still the warrior Rick but also is trying to cope with whats going on around him.

Rick lost control of the group. Which is fine.
He isn't followed without question anymore.
