Walking Dead discussion thread.

[Guest]

I imagine this will probably only be active after the latest episode airs, but I'm fine with that.

[Guest]

Probably, but maybe it'll up new theories and such.

But to continue from the RP thread.

If Rick and Andrea do meet up, she's gonna somehow talk her way out of it, or she'll get killed. I'm hoping for the latter option, myself.

[Guest]

Oh yes, that'd be great.

Maybe she will, but Rick isn't the type of guy to let someone stab him in the back again and again. At least he isn't anymore, so at the very least we know the governor won't be getting off the hook.

I hope so too Guard. I'm so tired of her, but we did get rid of Lori this season, so I think we may be asking too much.

[Guest]

Yeah, you're probably right about that. Maybe after the mid-season break she'll bite the bullet but for now that might be asking too much. Glen did prove to be a badass in this episode though, which was cool.

[Ketchup]

Anyone could die, and there is a confirmed death in the halfway finale. This is part of what makes the show so great.
I don't like Andrea much, she's just stupid.

Spoiler:

[Guest]

That's true, and we got to see that Merle was still the bastard he always was.

...He pissed me off.

Merle on killing Glen.

[Guest]

They probably will. They just got the information out of them. And they learned Rick's group is in a much more defendable location then the others they've gone after.

They might be planning on using them as bargaining chips. Or they just haven't had the chance to off them yet.

[Guest]

Yeah, that would be the thing to do. But since the raid is coming, they might kill them because of it. I wouldn't put past any of them.

That's what they said they could do with them. They want the prison, though, since they apparently didn't think they could clear it. Then 10 or so people did.

And yes, Glenn was a total badass in that episode. And The Governor was Affably and Excessively Evil, as usual.

[Orm]

I've still got a tiny sliver of hope that Merle is going to say "fuck you" to the Governor and punch him in the face.
Sadly the other part of me really doesn't see that happening.
Especially after the beating he gave Glenn.

He'd never work alongside Rick again. And Daryl seems to have built important bonds with the group, so he's hopefully not switching sides. He hasn't had much interaction with either Glenn or Maggie, though.
It'll be an interesting confrontation, though.

[Guest]

Yeah, I can't see Merle switching sides, but what I can see is Daryl maybe questioning killing but not switching sides, especially since he seems to have grown quite close to Carol. It'll be an interesting fight, and I'm going to love every second of it.

[Guest]

I don't think he will. He wants to see his brother again, but he just hates Rick the others too much.

Daryl probably has a better chance of siding with Merle then the other way around.

[Ketchup]

What I wonder about is Andrea. Who's side would she take when she realizes who the enemy is? Someone will hesitate.

[Orm]

Honestly, I can see her side with Rick.
Then I see the Governor shooting her in the back just as she does.

[Guest]

Orm, you have no idea how much I want that to happen.

[Guest]

Andrea's been without the group for... six months? So her relationship with the rest of the group isn't going to be the strongest, hell she talked about leaving with Shane before things at the farm went to hell.

So it'll probably come down to who she cares about more.

Michone: Who it's implied has saved her life on multiple occasions.

The Governor: The guy that threw some luxuries and sex in her direction.

[Guest]

Honestly, I can see her side with Rick.
Then I see the Governor shooting her in the back just as she does.

Yes, please.

[Ketchup]

Things went crazy this episode.

Spoiler:

Now to wait until February for the next one.

[Guest]

You forgot to mention the other prisoner getting creepy with Herschel's other daughter.

[Necr0maNceR]

I do love it when they introduce more characters from the comic. I thought it might be Tyreese the moment I saw his hammer, since that is his signature weapon in the comic. He's a pretty badass character in the comics, I wonder what he'll do in the show?

I was waiting for the Govenor to lose his eye. I was starting to think it might not happen.

Ah yes, Axel isn't much like his comic counterpart. He actually gives off more of a Thomas Richards vibe. Of course "Tomas" was supposed to be the show's Thomas Richards counterpart, so who knows.

[Ketchup]

I've read a significant amount about the comics and their correlations with the series. Like Tyreese and the loss of The Governor's eye. I really should read the compendium that's been gathering dust on my bookshelf since last Christmas. After I finish World War Z, perhaps.

As for Axel, I think its more because he's had nobody aside from the other inmates to talk to for months. And half of them were crazy. Other than that, there were only Herschel, Carl, Beth(is that her name? I know there is/was a Beth in that family somewhere) and Carol still there. He has no friends(Especially with Oscar's death), so maybe he was just trying to socialize(perhaps in the only way he remembers how?). Also of note, he seemed at least a little interested in Carol when she told him she wasn't a lesbian.
But yeah, kinda creepy.

[Guest]

Holy shit, that was fucking awesome.

I loved how Michone took care of Penny, that was the best way to do that. Then she got rid of the Governor's eye. Just awesome.

Yeah, Axel was getting a little creepy there. They may need to watch him...

And then Tyreese taking care of his own.. With a hammer. They had a gun right there and he was like, "Nope, I got a fuckin' hammer."

Any who that was great, February can't come fast enough.

[Guest]

I wanted Michone to push Penny towards the governor and then take him out.

I think Tyreese is smarter then trying to take the gun from Carl. For any reason. And that's why I think I'm going to like him.

[Guest]

Oh, don't get me wrong I love Tyreese he seems like he's going to be a cool guy. I just found that awesome that he did that.

And yes she should of, then when he grabbed Penny she could of ran her sword through both of them, and hopefully he would of died from his injuries.

I know that this has been said multiple times, but fuck Andrea, she needs to die. Just because you're getting laid, does not mean you betray the person that kept you alive for nine months. That's just fucked up.

[Guest]

Yes. God yes. But let's see if she can save Daryl before that. Not that I don't think that whole situation is staged so they can plant Merle in the prison.

Just I'd like to see her try and save a character I actually like instead of putting them in danger.

[Guest]

Yeah, you have a point. It would be nice to see her try to redeem herself. Though I can't see her doing that. That would require her to do something right, which I don't think she's capable of.

[Guest]

Yes. Doing something right is against her core nature. Like doing what she's asked.

[Guest]

Yeah, she had the simplest task and she couldn't do it. I'm starting to think that she didn't listen because she trying the whole "just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't do you can." thing.

[Necr0maNceR]

I know, right? Ha. It's actually really funny. In the comic she's a badass sniper, and not even half the idiot she is in the show. In the comic, she actually got in a romantic relationship with Dale. Of course, he died in the second season of the show, so that's not happening.
