The Walking Dead "The Walking Dead" General Stuff & Thaaaangs Thread - Part 9

[Captain Marvel]

Yeah pretty much, imagine if Hershel was still in that "We can still being them back from this sickness" phase. That's Gabriel.

Well, except that Gabriel did all the moralizing without the backbone to back it up. He wasn't balls-to-the-wall like Hershel, who went to insane lengths to help the people in the sick ward in the prison, particularly Glenn (The man wrestled with a Walker to get a tube out of its mouth. How awesome was that!).

If Gabriel were in that situation, he would've given Rick and the rest a stern lecture on holding out hope that those people could be saved, but the minute the **** hit the fan, he would've run for the hills and crawled into a hole until it was all over.

 

[Kane52630]

That's true...

I'm thinking Beth's abduction had nothing to do with Terminus. Remember, someone was caring for those corpses, and the person who took her had a cross in the rear window. That indicates someone completely unrelated to Terminus. Also, running around outside of town and abducting people seems to totally go against Terminus's MO. They wait for people to come to them. They don't go looking for them.

So yeah, it's probably Father Gabriel who was hanging out at that graveyard, and being the coward that he is, he probably stuffed Beth into his car as quickly as possible in order to "save her" while ignoring her protestations, because taking the time to listen to her meant he was in danger out on the road and he just wanted to get out of there. If I had to guess, once things calmed down and they were away safely she probably explained the situation to him and they might've gone back the next day to look for Daryl, but by then he was long gone, leaving her no choice but to stay on with Gabriel.

At the moment I'm comparing her situation to Carol from the first half of this season. Rick kicks her out and puts her out of the way of the attack on the prison, so she survived it safely and was able to come back after it was all over. I'm thinking the same will hold true for Beth. She's currently out of the way safe and will come back after things with Terminus cool off a bit.

Definitely agree with the Gabriel theory, although I'm not sure he was just hanging out there. Someone was giving funerals to those walkers in the funeral home. Considering his guilt issues with the things he did, he may have been the one giving them proper burials as a kind of penance.

I still wish this moment was used in the actual show.

[Kane52630]

Or just the way it was shot/whatever camera they used. If they had shots like that in the show, it would elevate it a lot more.

 

[Sawyer]

Eh... take it up with Darabont not shooting the show like that in the first place.

 

[Kane52630]

 

[Man in the Suit]

Eh... take it up with Darabont not shooting the show like that in the first place.

Yeah, I'll take 16mm over that any day.

 

[Kane52630]

This part always cracks me up for some reason.

Norman Reedus and Jon Bernthal are scheduled to be at the Chiller Theater convention in my town later this month.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Speaking of Jon Bernthal, I watched that movie Snitch a week or so ago. It's not all that great, but it's worth watching solely for his performance. He's really good in it.

Rick "Zero F**ks" Grimes

 

[Sawyer]

The funny thing about Shane describing Rick that way, just imagine what he would've had to say about Carol.

 

[Lantern Venom]

legoahmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

[danoyse]

So the Chiller Theatre convention website updated their guest list for the weekend: Norman Reedus will only be there on Friday and Saturday, as "he's being called in to film".

So Season 5 is underway.

LOL, that never works. If that's all it took to knock over a door then there would not be much need for a door.

You don't need to knock the door over, just separate the lock(s) from the wood/plastic/etc in which it's set. However, that's done with a combination of body mass and momentum, and someone Carl's age isn't likely to have enough of either one. What happens is the "point guard running into Shaquille O' Neal" effect.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

It's also best accomplished with a solid application of force near the lock, rather than rubberbanding your stupid self off the entirety of the door. That's a CARLFAIL

 

[Teelie]

I know, which is why I find it so funny. When people actually do knock a door down, they do it from the hinges or the lock where it is weakest, not the center mass of the door where it's strongest. And even then a properly built door isn't just going to break open with that amount of force spread out. It has to be directed.

Seth Gilliam Joins ‘The Walking Dead’ As New Regular
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

With the body count on The Walking Dead consistently high, the AMC zombie drama is always in need of reinforcements. Enter The Wire alum Seth Gilliam, who has joined Walking Dead as a new series regular for Season 5. He will play a character listed on the breakdown as Michael Todd, though his real name is being kept under wraps. (Maybe fans could recognize a character from the graphic novel in the description – Father Gabriel?) Michael is described as having two sides, displaying a friendly, puckish humor but also having a haunted side stemming from a dark secret. Gilliam, repped by Gersh and Bob McGowan of McGowan Management, first got on AMC’s radar with a recurring role on the 2012 untitled Lagravenese/Goldwyn pilot, which was subsequently picked up to series by sister channel WEtv. He has been recurring on another series, MTV’s Teen Wolf, which he is expected to continue to do while co-starring on Walking Dead.
