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

They should have brought Melissa Ponzio back as Karen for the Hallucination scenes.

Now that you mention , I'm kind of surprised. I think he would of gave in right away if he saw her though.


That was a buttload of cameos though. It was cool to see.

Nope, that would have made too much sense.

How long before the group realizes Noah is cursed.

 

[Piper Maru]

How long until Noah dies...next episode?

 

[bullets]

Father Gabriel better count his blessings.

Just wait until the ghost of T-Dog returns.

I really don't get why this is still going. I thought people were being over dramatic back when it happened with T-Dog & Oscar in Season 3.

They said it was a coincidence. SO WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING IT? They kill Bob when Father Gabriel is introduced. Now they kill Tyreese since Morgan is probably coming back.

They keep killing and gaining white people too... It's a show about people dying.

Agreed. So much.

I am seriously not the type to point at something and call it some "-ist" thing at the drop of a hat, but the pattern with this show has become SO predictable.

The show is called the Walking DEAD. The concept is built on characters trying to survive a desperate situation. Do you want them to stop writing black characters on the show?

But they don't do it like they do for black people.

Danai Guirra called the allegations of racism ridiculous and insulting to her and Sonequa Martin-Green. I must agree.

It's just comically coincidental to the point where I'm not even sure it's a coincidence anymore.

The only difference is that they keep having a pattern that is just beyond obvious to the viewers but they may be oblivious to it. They introduce a black character, then they kill off a black character, introduce a black character, kill off a black character. I don't think they are racist but they have a pattern.

My words exactly.

I'm just noticing that Glenn picked up a baseball bat in this episode. Foreshadowing?

This. There's definitely a pattern. And it's annoying.

I'm not upset at them killing off characters. People are correct: It's called The Walking DEAD. However, there is a pattern with the black male characters. I'm not going to call the writers flat-out racist, but there's definitely a pattern. Every single time a new black guy comes into the picture, the show has to kill off one of the already established black males. It happens every single time.

And hey, I thought Beth's death was completely bogus as well. It's the WAY a lot of things are being done in this show is what's annoying me with the series right now. And the fact that the show went and did this with Tyreese leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

Hey, I probably wouldn't be as annoyed if they had actually given Tyreese a GOOD sendoff. Tonight's episode was anything but a good sendoff.

It's nothing more than fan apophenia.

I think it's more like, "Hey, this show keeps doing the same thing over and over, and it's really stale."

That's the bigger issue. It's not necessarily bad that Beth and Tyrese were killed off, it's that they're deaths were poorly handled.

As far as the racial thing goes, I think if you look at the history of the show it is kind of hard to ignore, especially during season three when they traded token black guys three times in a row. The show is much conscious about diversity now which is a great thing that deserves applause, but the ill-timing of Tyrese's death has brought that back to the surface. Mind you, that never occurred to me with Bob's death because he was given an appropriate sendoff.

Rick with that beard....yikes. He's about 20lbs and a few white hairs away from being Herschel.

theres been a couple baseball bat instances

Beth's death was forced and this seemed to come out of left field. They've come up with answers (return of a ricktatorship ), but I guess most of us are just seeing it as shock value. It's weird that Bob , Beth, and Tyrese all died so closely together. Maybe they just wanted to make room for new cast members. It's a shame though. All those characters were well rounded. I just started to like Bob and Beth. I wanted Tyreese to redeem himself.

Soon, soon, SOON.

Just wait until the ghost of T-Dog returns.

T-Dog's ghost has been in the last 5 episodes. You may not have noticed because his ghost was as important to the episodes as he was when he was alive.
