TWD Discussion **spoilers**

[ceejay]

I want to be watching!!!!!!! H wants to finish the democratic debate first. Ugh.

Have I mentioned that I am so over politics already this year??

[kawaiikitsune]

It feels like they are setting up Glenn's death and I am not fucking ready.

think they will save it for season finale? Then we can cry and recover over the summer?

That is what I thought but everything about this episode so far is mimicking the comics up to Glenn meeting Lucille. I am so nervous rn.

I need them to just rip off the band aid and do it.

I don't think I'll be able to watch it. If it's as brutal as the comics, I'll close my eyes! Poor Maggie. Everyone will be gone.

Not her baby.

[kawaiikitsune]

pippacricket I saw that. Foreshadowing.

I am on the edge of my seat. I am freaking out.

[kawaiikitsune]

Damn Father Gabriel just gave that man his last rites and blew him away. That's boss.

[kawaiikitsune]

That was an interesting turn of events.

I thought that was pretty badass.

I kind of like the idea of Glenn (or whoever ultimately bites the dust) dying before the season finale. But I have a feeling we won't even see Negan until then so we still have to wait anxiously for it to happen.

I believe Kirkman and the director have both confirmed that Negan won't be seen until the finale but just knowing it's coming makes every scene with Glenn so nerve-wracking.

[RajahMD]

This episode was so fucking intense. I thought they were in the clear until that stupid walkie talkie. Fuck.

[kawaiikitsune]

RajahMD A part of me knew it wouldn't be that easy because it never is, but the other part was like "...maybe".

I know! This show always plays with my optimism.

[ceejay]

I knew it wasn't going to be that easy...

[ceejay]

OMG my heart was pounding that entire episode. This show is so stressful!

Ooh. Is it maybe because decapitation was Hershel's cause of death vs the walkers already being dead??

I think so. They had already killed the zombies prior to taking their heads, so they were no longer animated. Herschel was decapitated, but his brain wasn't destroyed to prevent reanimation.

[ceejay]

Mar 6, 2016 22:38:06 GMT -5 pippacricket said:

Ok so someone explain this to me. Remember back when Hershel was decapitated and Michonne came by the prison and his head was all animated as a walker? How come the heads that they took off the walkers didn't reanimate when they were trying to pass them off as Gregory??

Hmm... good point. Maybe they had discreetly stabbed the head in the back of the neck? Maybe that's the typical protocol when you need to behead someone?

[kawaiikitsune]

pippacricket I'm pretty sure they stabbed him in the head before cutting off the head. I'd say, by now, most people are aware that you have to destroy the brain to kill the walkers. So Negan's men would probably not care that the head wasn't animated because of the risk it would pose, since they can still bite. Simply seeing "Gregory's" head would likely suffice.

[cjchio]

God help us all. Melissa McBride and a surprise guest will be on talking dead next week. That hardly ever bodes well.

This is the episode description for season finale on IMDb.

Is kinda vague but sorta telling, so click at your own risk.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}In the aftermath of a tragic blow, Eugene falls captured by Dwight, a member of the Saviors, whom are hell bent on getting even with Alexandria, Negan teaches Rick and co a brutal lesson, which shows that Rick and co finally have something to fear. -- IMDb Plot: Episode #6.16 (2016)

Ugh. Basically what I was expecting the finale to be. But I'm not looking forward to it.

How many more episodes until the finale?

[peaseblossom55]

I'm hoping Carol does something bad ass to get her and Maggie out of their captive situation.

I'm having a hard time morally accepting what they did. How is it any different from what the Governor did to them at the prison. I can't believe no one but Morgan objected.

That is why Tara was struggling with it, even though she didn't outright object. She had done the same thing with the Governor and it turned out the people they attacked were good people. Now those good people are attacking another group unprovoked and I think the "what if they're not really bad people" thought is strong in her mind.

[sleepymonkey]

I have a very strong suspicion that Tara will not survive much longer. The fact that Denise said she would tell her that she loved her when she got back does not bode well. I think Tara and maybe Heath will not survive the run they're going on.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler (sort of)}I'm still not sure who I think will die when we meet Negan. I feel like they're setting it up for us to suspect it could be anyone. I am one of the few that would actually be surprised if it's Glenn. My odds are still on Maggie. I feel like they could be setting Carol up to take on the Maggie role from the comics.

[kawaiikitsune]

The fact that it was Glenn who saw the photos of Lucille & Negan's victims, to me, seems like they are going to stay true to the comics. Despite how sick the comic book scene with Glenn made me, I truly hope they keep it. Almost to the point where I will be super pissed if they don't.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Comic book spoiler}Heath does die in the comics around this time so I truly feel he will be biting the dust really soon. Which sucks because I love Heath. He doesn't get enough screentime, IMO.
