I'm currently on S4E1 of my 5th time watching.

Call me silly, but I never noticed the walker foreshadowing the "hemorrhagic virus" outbreak at the prison.
I have always understood that the pig getting sick and dying was foreshadowing the sickness, but for some reason the walker Rick sees at the fence (with bleeding eyes) never clicked until now.

I wonder what other small details I have missed multiple times lol.??

I love the whole grimes family I can’t wait to see Judith grow up

She was a sniper for the hospital from S5, and I was a random guy from the woods just trying to survive. Idk why she was out there, the dream sort of started mid conversation. We were talking and then I wanted to show her something so I moved away from her a bit and started yelling really loud like that random old guy from A Quiet Place. Of course, Walkers came. An even amount of them because what I did was in pairs. I weaved between them and almost got bit once but ultimately got away and went back to Beth. What I had done, I (in the dream) called a "Walker Dust" or a "Walker Hug". What happens is, I lead two into me from either side then jump out the way at the last second, and they collapse into each other. When they get back up, they are all tangled into each other and can't move much.

Nothing important or interesting, just thought it was kind of cool and wanted to share.

Watching the sewer scene with Carl, Michonne, and Rick at the moment, and the score here is fantastic.

First, that tense “rararaan, rararaan, rararaaaan” guitar, building the suspense, then Carl’s “innocence lost” theme slips in, before a mournful melody washes in, and now the tension turns into heartbreak.

Bear McCreary’s work adds so, so much to the show.

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'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 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?

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?

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)

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

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

I think people would survive more than 80% of the world. The fact that they are slow and easy to kill but can wipe out 90% of the entire earth population doesn't sit right with me. No way we could lose like that

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.

Simon and the Savior Gang go to the dump to confront Jadis & The Garbage People over their association with Rick. Simon demands that they hand over all their guns and, when Jadis refuses, starts that whole enraged-gumming-of-his-lower-lip thing before demanding “remorse.”

Simon isn’t really looking for remorse here, though. He wants Jadis to grovel. And I think he’s already made up his mind about what he’s going to do, regardless of what she says or doesn’t say.

The whole thing is so messed up because he acts like he’s the reasonable one and they’re the ones who need to make things right. How much of this is Simon deliberately trying to intimidate people, and how much do you think he just enjoys having that kind of power over them?

I was doing my annual rewatch of The Walking Dead, and I thought to myself this question:

Do you think if the writers knew how MUCH viewership and turmoil this episode cause audiences, they would’ve scrapped it?

As in, how many people stopped watching it afterwards? (I kept going but a LOT dropped)

Do you think that the writers would’ve stuck to the source material or still killed off who they killed off in this episode?

So many people loved spoiler glen and Abraham, so it was a massive hit.

Thoughts?

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'm unsure of where to put this in terms of flair, so if a mod would like to apply one, do feel free — but I was watching a streamer play the TellTale game and that made me think:

Where are all the animals?

Do the walkers eat them? I imagine larger formed settlements do a lot of hunting, but surely live game shouldn't be that swiftly disappearing?

So do the walkers eat animals?

Clementine gets mauled because of a hungry dog, so.. where did all the natural meat humand and animals have eaten forever now go?

(Edit: Thank you to everyone who answered.

I never did see the show, so I was unsure.

Apologies.)

Just gonna start yelling this randomly now with no context.
