The Walking Dead

121 comes out tomorrow.

Wow. Well they have a lot of material to keep the show going if ratings stay up.

I don't know about killing him off, but I know if he was my son, I woulda beat the shit out of him by now.

Thumbs up for that one! I was thinking the same thing when I watched this last one and a few times before that. He was really a Momma's boy from the start and possibly hoped that Shane would be his new Daddy.

There are essentially 3 different era's remaining. The show is beginning the beginning of the first of these three.

I see the comics as having essentially 5 era's so far...

Pre-Prison
Prison
3 eras not included in the show yet...


Post-Prison (Hunters, child-rapist, psycho Ben, journey to DC)
Finding Alexandria and establishing it (Aaron making contact, Douglas befriending Rick and handing over the keys to the city)
War with Negan (Killing Glenn and forward)

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

The Italian teaser trailer for 4.10 has a scene with Ty carrying Judith. Oops

Nice spoiler calsnow. I had a feeling about her.

 

[lakersrule]

Did they? I don't follow the comic book but most tell me is has been different. Carl has some deep seeded hatred for his father...not sure if that has been resolved but looking better.The history of Michonne finally revealed and her showing emotions was good. Still curious if 'Lil Ass Kicker made it.I got a good laugh at Carl trying to break that door down!

That particular episode was very similar to the comics. I think more so than any other episode that I can remember.

Except the Pilot.

Thanks!!! JK. I had a feeling she would be safe anyway. Do you have a link to that preview?

I will look tonight. I saw it on youtube (someone talking about it). There may be a link on that vid.

Very true. One of my all-time favorites episodes of television, especially the black and white version. Pretty epic camera work at the end when it is pulling away from the tank and you see all the trouble Rick is in. I like how they started 4.9 by tightening in on the tank.

Anything about Carol coming back?

I think I saw some production pics of her and Chad Coleman working together. Story-wise, it makes sense for Ty to find her. He still does not know that she claimed "credit" for Karen and David. I am almost 100% convinced, though, that she was taking the heat for Lizzy.

I don't think I have ever yelled at the television for anything other than a sporting event but when Carol's daughter Sophia came out of the barn, I yelled NOOO! IMO season two has easily been the best so far...

S1 was BY FAR the best season.

S2 was much better upon 2nd viewing. Watching it first run was too slow, IMHO. Still great, but slow.

I actually really liked S3. 3.1 was a GREAT episode. The ending was a bit strange, but Gimple was taking the reigns and wanted to handle the Gov arc differently, so there were a lot of re-writes that put the story into that situation.

So far, S4 has been meh. The whole illness thing, to me, just had the feel of filler. It had nothing to do with the ZA outside of the fact that society was gone, so a tiny sickness became an instant epidemic. Also, everywhere they went, the saw signs of the sickness, but the Govs group never ran into it? Anyway, 4.6-4.8 were very good episodes. 4.9 was slow, but important character development. I think it will hold up when we watch it again after a couple seasons go by.

Horrible quality, but it is there.

Reminder... The link contains a spoiler!!

I tend to agree. I wonder if Ty will ever find out now that Carol took the blame.

Tried the link but it didn't work for me...I'll take your word for it. Is Judith to be shown as living in this next episode?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I never doubted lil' Ass kicker was alive.
If they were gonna kill the baby off they would have done it as shock value. Not make people wonder.

Not sure. The trailer had scenes from 4.9 as well, so I am guessing it was more of a "This season on The Walking Dead" type of trailer.

Also, when discussing spoilers, try not say it outright without some color hiding as I used. That way, anyone who does not want to be spoiled can still come to this thread.

I agree. The way they did it in the comics was perfect. It tied so many aspects together. Now they have a shark-jumper tied to the group.
