The Walking Dead

Yeah, I guess I was wrong about Beth. I thought for sure the season was going to end with a half eaten Beth in a meat locker haha.

Yeah that line was from the comic. The funny thing was in the comic Rick's group pretty much wipes the hunters out with little effort in a couple of pages. But, this aint the comicbook hunters. Looked like they had like a hundred people lol.

I'm on bored with Tara getting eaten. I'll have a bite! lol

Yeah I don't even know if we can justifiably refer to the Terminus people as "The Hunters" anymore. It seems to me- from what I've heard- that the only thing the people of Terminus have in common with The Hunters from the comics is cannibalism (and in all honesty, we don't even know for sure if that is true at this point- it seems to be the case, but we don't know yet).

Terminus is seemingly a whole organized community. The Hunters were a handful of dudes living in the woods.
Terminus strategically lured people to them by posting signs and promising safety. The Hunters prayed on small groups who happened to be in the area.

I suppose there is also the connection of the timing being just about right from the comics to the show, but I'm betting we're going to see even more differences once the next season starts that will aim to promote Terminus as something new and exclusive to the show.

Oh, and they better not eat Maggie; that's my job.  

Some of the group will HAVE to get eaten...no way the whole lot of them will get away...and I'd think it'd be someone pretty important.

That's why I think it'll be Tara. She's just important enough and has been on the show just long enough to matter. But really, she has no purpose. She has no family or actual friends who will miss her, and she really doesn't even have an actual storyline; she's just the girl who Glen found shell shocked at the prison and decided to bring her along. But like I said, she's been on the show for pretty much a whole season, which is enough time for the viewers to feel attached to her and feel a loss if she dies. And if its her, the writers don't have to kill off a main, useful character.

Tara-burgers are on the menu. Book it.

I think you're right. I like it

I could see any of the group going to Washington getting offed.....especially the Dr. With the answers....if he dies the story can go on a lot longer.....not that they couldn't drag it on with him around but just makes "t.v. sense" to let you think some resolution is coming and then whamo! All hope is lost once again......I feel like his character is a classic sense of false hope role.

Or all the other "oatmeal" characters new to this season die to save his life only for him to die later...maybe after answering a question or 2 about the source of the infection.....also keeping in mind that they are talking about a spinoff thats supposed to take place at the beginning of the zombie timeline(or so I've read).....we may not get any info about ground/patient zero.

And beth is out there somewhere along with silver fox and tyreese.....and what about dude from season 1 and 3...black dude with all the guns who was left to "clear" the city.....he could pop back up at any point.

I could definitely see the scientist getting killed, too. It would for sure kill a good smount of hope. But am I the only that thinks it's intentionally obvious that he has no knowledge whatsoever of a cure or anything? It seems to me that it's almost a joke, like the writers don't even intend for us to believe he knows anything about the origin or a cure, but its funny that Abraham thinks he does.
I don't know. That's just the way I've looked at it from day 1; almost like a comical side story, like "Yeah, sure. You know how to save the world, great. You sit here and talk about that while the rest of us useful people kill walkers and keep everyone alive".

I've thought about that also, that he may know absolutely nothing....and I'm on board except he's made a couple comments/actions that do make him seem intelligent enough that it is possible...... didn't he make a comment when they went to meet glen at the end of the tunnel about if he did save the world he still had to live with himself?....that made me almost feel like he did know about the infection and perhaps had something to do with it.....

I was thinking either he knew nothing or he had a hand in the whole ordeal and that's why he was so tight lipped with any info..it may incriminate him and make any survivor want to kill him....

I don't know...too many options.....

Well when he made the comment about having to live with himself if/when he saved the world, I think he was referring directly to the current situation of leaving Glen and Tara out there on their own. He was saying "Yeah, maybe I'll save the world, but I still gotta live with the fact that we probably let them go to their death and didn't do anything about it".

But regardless, you still might be onto something regarding him having a hand in starting the whole thing. That would be really, really interesting. I never thought about that.

I see that angle about the situation at hand but maybe seemed like even if he saved the world he still had something to make up for.....who knows?
Just seems to me that if you didn't do anything wrong to begin with but you have the solution the 2 casualties after all the other life loss is minimal collateral damage....

     

Yeah I don't know, I just took it more as like he didn't want to bear that cross. Sure, lots of other people have died, but the difference here is that he would have been somewhat directly responsible by not assisting Glen and Tara, and that would have weighed more heavily on him.
I hope you're right though about him knowing how it started. I would really like to hear that story!

I'm sure you have all seen this



In response I have made this

Oh snap...short round....but gov has wrong eye patched

That's the first thing I thought; eyepatch on the wrong eye. But doesn't the Governor have long hair in the comics? I bet that version looks almost exactly like Snake!

And is that true about the guy who plays Glen, or just a joke?

They are both equally true.

But...

Hate to burst the bubble....glen is not short round....Steve yuen is glen and Jonathan ke kwan is short round

Well, fortunately the Governor is clearly Snake, so at least there's that,,,,,

Haha, thank you. I was like WTF that aint Short Round.

Well I know what's up with the scientist in the book, but who knows how they go with it in the show. They have been doing everything the opposite so you never know...

What's his deal in the book?...you can pm me if you don't want to publicly spoil anything

You could probably just Google it without spoiling too much of it for yourself. That's how I discovered The Hunters, and it didn't really ruin anything else for me from a spoiler standpoint..... at least not yet, anyway.

oh trust me I know.

"Glenn" was 1 when Indy came out.

But, Kurt Russell is absolutely the guy that played The Governor.
 

Edit: This was my accompanying facebook rant with said photo.
"OK people, let's nip this shit in the bud. I have had multiple friends post an image with Glen from The Walking Dead and Data from The Goonies, saying something like "Did you know these guys are the same actors?" or some shit like that... It's not him. Steven Yeun (Glen) is Korean and born in 1983... that would make him 2 when Goonies came out and 1 for Indiana Jones. Jonathan Quan (Short Round/Data) is Vietnamese and was born in 1971 and hasn't acted in over 12 years. IMDB is your friend folks."
