The Walking Dead "The Walking Dead" General Stuff & Thaaaangs Thread - - Part 11

[Drizzle]

Most of my close friends have not read the comics, so they have absolutely no idea what to expect, and I'm just sitting here like Mr. Burns. Now I know how Game of Thrones fans felt before the Red Wedding episode aired.

I'm feeling that same excitement to see Negan mixed with dread. The only difference is Game of Thrones followed their source material (when they still had it) a lot closer than The Walking Dead does. Deaths usually happen in the same way, but they switch up the characters way too often, like Hershel being given Tyreese's death from the comics and [BLACKOUT]Denise being given Abraham's death from the comics[/BLACKOUT] in last night's episode. We know Negan is going to kill someone, but as to who is still anyone's guess.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I wish Alicia Witte had played Lucille. Paula was every bit as intimidating as I've built Lucille up to be in my mind.

...huh?

 

[CJ]

Do you guys think Negan will appear at all in next week's episode? Like at the very, very end?

I think it will happen at the end of the finale. The group's been through a lot, killed a few saviors and found Carol. They sit in the van on the way back to Alexandria as a sappy song plays in the background. Glenn touches Maggie's belly. Rick looks out the windshield. Negan stands in the road. 'Who is tha-' A savior fires an RPG from the bushes. Audio goes mute. The van flips in the air. A high-pitched ringing is heard. Saviors drag the stunned and injured members of Rick's group. from the van. They awaken tied up with guns to their heads, in Negan's sanctuary.

That spoiler immediately had me thinking of the controversy around The 100's recent death and how it fits into a certain trope. The link contains a spoiler to the death.

This might be an unpopular opinion but this is gearing up to be one of my least favorite seasons. I haven't enjoyed this second half too much. Overall there's been stellar episodes but... I don't know exactly what it is. I'm just not feeling it.

Yeah, that's not happening.

It has been poorly paced. The Wolves storyline went nowhere. Things feel at times both rushed, and incredibly slow.

 

[CJ]

Maybe not, but I think that would be a cool scene.

[BLACKOUT]TSDF Official: Season Finale Spoilery Snippet
BREATHE, buttercups! We have a small spoilery snippet for the season finale. No Negan or Lucille in this post. So if you're avoiding that one, consider yourself safe! We have learned little pieces about a scene in the finale. We believe this information is accurate but keep in mind anything can change before the show actually airs.

Here we go:

In one scene Morgan is on horseback, looking for Carol. He stumbles across a freshly killed walker and Carol's blood-stained rosary. He picks it up and continues on his search. At some point, Morgan finds Carol at a library camp. The survivors at this camp have all been slaughtered (presumably by the Saviors). Carol is injured with a slash wound on her side. Morgan patches her up with a first-aid kit and tells her that he'll get her back to get some help in the morning. Carol looks at him like he's crazy and tells him no.[/BLACKOUT]

So I take it my Lucille comment made no sense? I've never read the comics and tried to avoid spoilers but I've nevertheless received the impression that Lucille is a frightening figure. Am I wrong?

Read at your own risk (because of spoilers for both the comic and the show):

Spoiler

Lucille is a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. Lucille is a beloved object of Negan's.

In the comics, he uses it to bash Glenn's head into mush. People are expecting the season finale to end this way as well (but perhaps not with Glenn, but a different character).

 

[galmorzu]

I've read a few theories that Carol might go away and become the eventual

Spoiler

Alpha. She just loses her remaining humanity and uses her gift at disappearing behind a facade to literally just disappear into the ranks of the undead.

I am actually okay with this idea, although I don't think they'd do it. Still...that actually feels like a direction a deeply depressed Carol might go in, especially with her ability to come up with new ways to hide and be unnoticed. Not to mention, Carol as a villain could be really fun to watch.

 

[Reek]

^exactly what ive been thinking this whole season... Carol as Alpha is pretty cool... especially if they do the time jump from the comics.

Don't know about the daughter part though unless she kidnaps Maggies baby

That would be interesting to see. A protagonist turning bad would be something fresh for the show. Shane doesn't count because he was a scumbag to begin with.

Yeah, and the audience reaction when the mask comes off. I have to say, I could go for that. Talk about adapting to the world. It would be pretty terrifying.

Plus, if he's still around, imagine the dynamic that could create with Daryl.

I just read the first sentence in your spoiler and I can see why my comment was ridiculous.

It's a terrible idea. Can you really imagine Carol, no matter what her state of mind, being that ruthless, let alone to some of her former comrades?

"look at the flowers"

and she burned 2 people at the prison lol what carol have you been watching?

 

[Reek]

dont forget the whisperers just wanted to be left alone to begin with. just like carol right now.

 

[Teelie]

I think that direction with Carol is unlikely. Not impossible but unlikely. I still think she is going to encounter Lucille though.

 

[Iron_Stark]

So Shane, Andrea and Morales are listed for the season finale at IMDb.

If it's accurate, are they there for a flashback?

 

[Reek]

Morales wasnt around enough with rick... so obviously a flashback involving glen, daryl or carol... they were the only ones around for Morales to mean something... Carl too but i doubt it has anything to do with it.

well maybe not a flashback if it's like Tyreese's scene

IF accurate as you said... who knows

 

[Iron_Stark]

I was thinking maybe a Tyreese scene, but Morales and his family left alive.

All of these spoilers and theories are making my head hurt. They've been pretty accurate until this last episode, the spoilers I read [BLACKOUT]had Tara dying from the cross bow, and Denise getting shot at the end of episode 15 but she's dead but now two different spoilers are saying either Tara or Rosita are the ones that get shot.[/BLACKOUT]

So I don't know anymore. lol. I don't trust anything I read.

 

[Teelie]

I never trust reddit spoilers or sites with claims of knowing things they should have no way of knowing.
