I felt like the writing was pretty inconsistent when it came to Negan and Carl. I do believe Negan respected Carl, but I find it odd that he was mourning him and crying over him when he was about to kill him.

Just gonna start yelling this randomly now with no context.

I’m currently rewatching the show with my dad - we watched almost every episode air live back in the day and loved to catch TTD episodes afterward as a tradition. Is there anywhere online I can find these episodes today? I haven’t had any luck so far with the AMC+ app as it only has a couple later seasons, and YouTube only has highlights.

😱😱😱😱

I sound like a broken record but, I watch movies and tv shows like my life depends on it and forever and always I’ll argue that Andrew Lincoln was robbed of an Emmy. You know what most of the cast was- they put blood, sweat, and tears into the show.

I personally think he’s funny as shit, especially around Simon and the saviors. Lol

Saw Michonne’s sword (technically katana I guess) In Washington DC at the National Museum of American History! I didn’t even know it was there so it was a cool surprise

I find it interesting how the Governor repeatedly surrounds himself with undead trapped in water. In Season 3, he keeps reanimated heads in fish tanks and sits alone watching them. Then, in Season 4, after chaining Pete underwater, he returns to watch his reanimated body beneath the surface.

Both scenes involve undead people trapped in water, unable to escape, while the Governor watches from a position of control.

I think this goes beyond simple cruelty. The tanks, especially alongside his refusal to let go of Penny, suggest an obsession with keeping death contained and under his control. He can't accept losing his daughter, so he preserves her, and his fascination with the other heads seems to reflect that same disturbing need to control what death leaves behind.

Do you think he enjoys watching the undead, or is he trying to convince himself that even death is something he can control?

Everytime I rewatch the show, I develop a new level of dislike or love for a character. I’m in season 2 and Dale…. I’ve never disliked him more. Specifically I’m at the Randall part. Everyone is warned that the group Randall travels with has 30 members, weapons, and the men are rapist/pedophiles. Dale’s immediate response is to plead for Randalls life. Now granted he’s right to not want to kill him immediately, but as the facts come out that Randall knew Maggie, knows where the farm is, and the area, means that even if they let him go 25 miles away, he could always come back for revenge.

Also, the way Randall talks about the guys he travelled with and how they raped those poor teenaged girls was creepy at MINIMUM. The way he said “real young real cute was” sick. The way he tried luring Carl to help him (granted he was desperate to escape) was also creepy. Dale wanting to let him live among them or be set free is just.. not smart. Then Dale had the audacity to ask the group “How are we any better than those people that were so afraid of?” Like sir, you’re not serious right now!

Bottom line, if I’m told: if we let this man go, he can go back to his armed group of 30 men which include murderous rapists and pedophiles, I would vote for his death immediately. Let Dale go to the frontlines & offer his body as tribute.

(I know the counter arguments I’ve been reading them for years but Dale PMO with this one)

Let's face it. In a world where law, punishment, and established rules are the norm, it's very difficult to "humble yourself" to kill.

• At what point would you realise you had to kill someone?
• How long do you think it would take you, and for what reasons would you kill?

I'm watching this show for the first time and I believe I just witnessed the best Plottwist ever.

I've been thinking about Negan and Carol this whole season. I was really confused about Negan's storyline with the whisperers and I was kinda pissed off that everyone was pissed off at Carol bc honestly, she was right. She went about it the wrong way, could've communicated better in general. I feel like this will lead to some huge fight sooner or later anyways. But I understood her actions.

Either way, Negan taking the head to Carol and her basically implying this was their plan all along?? I love this so much. This is everything I could've hoped for and more.

I'm so hyped rn and I can't tell my best friend because she's not awake yet, so I'll tell the internet instead, I guess

I am going to be a walker for Halloween, SFX makeup and all. I will update this post with pictures.

I've been working on this costume since September, and I'm VERY proud of what I've completed, and I'm so excited. DM me for my TikTok or Instagram to see more posts about it if you're interested!!

Rewatching The Walking Dead and still can’t believe that people think Negan is redeemable after what he does 😂

He’s legit in my top 3 favourite characters, but 100% deserved to die.

He killed kids, women, and men with a smile on his face, was a rapist, and tortured people.

And I know he lives in the comics, but from what I know, what he does in the show is far more brutal. And I get it, he was so good on screen that they kept him to keep the feeling as good as it could be post season 9, but my god, the him being redeemed thing is immersion breaking.

There’s no redemption for the things he has done. Him and Maggie working together makes no sense, even though I LOVE Season 3 of Dead City. I have to pretend like he didn’t do any of the things he did just to sit through the scenes of them 2 together smiling.

One of the most interesting aspects of The walking Dead and other post-apocalypse TV series or movies is the attention paid through the most basic of survival needs, food, as well as taking care of a group through division of labor.. surviving through division of labor and scavenging for food..

So let's take a look at some examples of this from The walking Dead as well as maybe some other post-apocalyptic series and movies.

I think the best example of post-apocalypse food scavenging in The walking Dead is the first episode of season 3 where the group forces their way into a house and starts looking around for food, Daryl kills a owl begins to prepare it to cook, and Carl finds a couple cans of dog food, and he takes out his can opener and starts opening one, and Rick comes over takes a look at it, sees that it's dog food, and throws it into the fireplace.. the rest of the group looks on in silence but there seems to be a kind of acknowledgment that they would have eaten that that can of dog food too.. but that's a good reality based example of scavenging in TWD. Another example is them eating dogs. Although that's technically hunting.. and then we have an example in one of the episodes in season 1, where Shane tell Lori that she will be looking for some frog legs after that last can of beans is gone okay so they eat canned food but what about some dry beans and rice? Okay what else do we have to talk about with regard to scavenging food? Once they get on the farm and season 2 they live off the land there, that live off the chickens and crops and so forth. in season 3 we have the division of the pantry in the prison.. so that's a type of scavenging.. what else? Once they get into Alexandria, they do make some scavenging runs but it seems to be mostly weapons.

If you ask me the king of the scavenging post-apocalyptic TV shows was the 1975 BBC TV show called survivors.. there are many examples of scavenging from that show. .. scavenging food is a major plot point in several TV series.. perhaps the best example from that one is in the fourth episode gone away when the group of Abby Gregg and Jenny are scavenging food from a store and the local group comes in with guns and tries to force them out..

Also one of the interesting survival aspects of TWD and other similar series is the division of labor among a group. This has more focus than the mere scavenging of food.. in season 1 while the women are watching the clothes, they questioned the division of labor, questioning whether Ed (the bull) has anything to do but smoke cigarettes... They soon get their comeuppance.. but then again so does Ed..

And then we have season 2 where division of labor is a major aspect of the plot..

And all the way down the line including season 3 and most especially season 5, division of labor and assignment of jobs is a major aspect of the plot.. even in season 7 and 8, we see that assignment of a job for Eugene with the saviors is a major plot point...

I'm sure there are many other examples that I've missed..

I found like an "Compendium 15th anniversary" thing aswell but appearently that's missing a quarter? So should I be good with these?

Im pretty solid on most of these except for Jadis, let me know what you think
