Technico Support Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Negan will show up in the TV show eventually. Apparently, Kevin Durand has been approached about playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think that ship has sailed. He's busy impersonating Kevin Nash's Russian accent on THE STRAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Holy shit that was some fun action. Very strong start to the season. The season 4 alternate ending is much more badass than "screwing". It's like the Mick Foley mentality: Don't use "Fuck" much, save it for points where it makes an impact. That surely did. Going off that Rick was tremendous. I thought he'd need the hat to get back to that but it's good to see he doesn't. Tyrese was fantastic, the guy playing him was all kinds of tremendous. And hell yeah to the post-show credits, that got us all excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Cannibalism -- does it work? Everyone comes back as a zombie. Everyone is infected. Therefore, if kill and eat a human, you're eating a zombie. Therefore, zombies are edible? So, essentially, you can bite the zombie and be fine, but if the zombie bites you, you die and turn faster. I'm sure it's a matter of how soon you kill the brain (with a bat to the back of the head, I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just finished watching the episode. Holy Shit! It was GREAT. I'd say it was the best top to bottom episode of the series thus far. The right amount of suspense and horror and action, and even a little overboard with the gore. God Damn. So good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish69 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 What the fuck was that fireworks bullshit? Entertaining and all, but this show make my head hurt. They used them to draw swarms away from Terminus. Carol improvised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Right. There was a "herd" moving toward Terminus and they had a system in place (fireworks) that they use to distract the walkers and reroute them. The TV series never really got into the concept of loud noises attracting zombies and creating herds, which the comics did (Professor Sweet Mullet and Sgt. Ginger explain this to Rick's group pretty early on in the comic series). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think most people who have seen other zombie related material just general will assume it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think the TV series never got into because setting that kind of "rule" would handcuff the writers. Where would the show be if the characters were pretty much never allowed to use guns? The comic series really stressed the fact that you pretty much should never use a gun and that any loud noise had the potential to build a herd. The show only relies of "loud noises attract walkers" when needed for dramatic purposes, like Merle setting off that car alarm last season.

I feel like they've shown that guns attract walkers quite a bit in the show. For instance, the episode right after Michonne stabbed out The Gov's eye. Martinez was up on the wall, freaking out and trying to get everyone to stay behind the walls. He shot into the air and they immediately showed walkers coming out of the woods b/c they were attracted by the noise. Also, during the assault on the prison, walkers were attracted by all of the gunfire and commotion. They show walkers gnawing on wounded people after basically every confrontation where shots are fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which shows how unrealistic the show is because in pro wrestling, you can use baseball bats at will and it just temporarily stuns the wrestler. One shot and dead?

AxB Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So, with everyone refusing to go along with Rick's plan to exterminate every last termian, and then them showing the flashback to the Termians as prisoners in Terminus, this season is going to have the surviving Terminus guys going for revenge on Rick's group, isn't it?

JimBob Skeeter Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm pretty sure Gareth didn't die. I think he just got clipped in his upper left shoulder, and I also didn't see any blood from him as he fell backwards. Oh, shit, I'm pretty sure I just realised how Gareth is going to bite it. Literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it could happen, the flashback scenes felt more like an illustration of what happened to the Terminus people to push them so far over the edge and how maybe our main crew isn't that far off with how both Rick and Tyreese acted during the episode.

MonteCarl Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I was thinking about this the other day...... Is anybody in the cast really "safe" from getting zombi-fied at some point? I think any of them could go without any major problems or backlash, with the exception of Darryl. Even Rick. I could see either a Season Finale or a Mid-Season Finale ending with the cliff-hanger of Rick getting bit. I don't think anybody getting killed off would negatively affect the show or ratings except Darryl. If Darryl died, I can see a major backlash happening, like "Fuck this show. They killed Darryl? I'm done". But if Rick died, I think it would be more of a "OMG! I Can't Believe Rick Died! How is the group going to carry on now?! I have to watch to find out.". Anybody else besides those main two - Maggie, Glen, Carl, Michonne, Carol - could go in any episode and provide a nice shocking moment, but wouldn't have any real lasting effect on the show as a whole.

Hooks Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 OK, so I assume anyone coming into the Walking Dead thread the night of the show knows to watch out for spoilers, so I'm not going to bother with a spoiler tag. So did I read too much into Bob's behavior? After being pulled under the water, his demeanor changed. Between that and him asking Sasha for one more kiss, then walking outside and crying, I assumed he would reveal a bite, then off himself. So of course what transpired after was a surprise. Which leads me to ask........would eating someone who had been bitten have adverse effects? Or considering everyone carries the virus now, would it not change anything?

My assumption was also.that he had been bitten. If so...could make for interesting after dinner conversation next week. So far two really strong episodes this season. The characters have been less idiotic and more human. I find myself giving much more of a shit about them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd assumed he was bitten as well, which would mean they're taking from the "Fear the Hunters" storyline in the comics that happened a while back. Rick's group was being stalked by cannibals (no Terminus or Gareth in the comics, just a group of dudes who were cannibals) and they kidnapped and started to eat Dale, who had just been bitten and had walked off into the forest to die. It's pretty much the same scene, where Dale comes to and their leader gives him a speech about how "a man's gotta eat" and Dale starts laughing at them because they're eating "tainted meat." Nothing really came of it, though, they just spit the food out -- just a gross-out scene with no other consequences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
