You're upstairs in the room at the same house Rick was at when the claimers pulled up (you're also hiding under the bed like him) Pick three people to protect you here, and the rest are coming for your head
No weapons aside from their signature melee weapons (Rick - Hatchet or machete, Merle - Arm blade, Jesus - unarmed, Daryl - dual knives, Carol - brass knife), you get the gist
i’m sure i’m not the first or even fifty thousandth person to think this but i’m a first time viewer, and despite knowing that carl dies prior to even starting the show, i was still beyond sad about his death, and man.. im really scared for how this decision will play out in these last 3 seasons. from what i’ve seen, carl is actually a pretty not only loved, but important character in the comics, so to kill *him* off? amc really decided to prioritize saving money over their writing? lol ok i guess ill just have to keep watching. i’m gonna spend the rest of this show going “i wish carl were here” lmfao
Were all the heads inside the aquariums victims of the Governor or were some just walkers he found and decapitated along the way?

I’m rewatching, currently in the early governor seasons. Enjoy the scenery. As much as I love summer this is getting me in the mood for fall 😅 anyone else find TWD, a cozy season comfort show? Or just me? It’s my version of PSL’s & pumpkin scented candles & football😂🤣 smashin in brains amongst the colorful trees while wearing flannel. 💀
Anyone got any suggestions for zombie TV shows/movies that are just as entertaining as the walking dead?
What I want to discuss: Was Rick a present and attached parent for Judith? I liked Rick for the most part and there’s no doubt he loved and protected his kids, doing most things for their safety. But imo Judith was more of a representation of family to him. He frequently sacrificed the priorities of a parent – time and interaction with the child, which are how children form bonds. They are too young to understand provision. On rewatches, I continuously see a pattern of Rick being so bent on being the leader, he would regularly leave, or take on tasks and put himself in situations which others easily could have fulfilled, even in times of calm safe harbor. He rarely delegated. He wanted to be in every role: leader, strategist, politician, farmer, fighter, gopher, negotiator, supply runner, director, planner, police, trainer, diplomat, recon, scout, enforcer, laborer, messenger, friend, lover… In the process, I feel he often neglected his parental role and responsibility of being a present father.
I’d like to not only discuss the parent-child relationship he had with Judith, but also juxtapose this against the criticisms of Lori as a “bad parent.” I personally can’t stand Lori, never liked her, never will. But when it comes to fans criticizing parental roles, I think Lori gets way too much condemnation and reproach about how she parented Carl while in the single-parent role, compared with how Rick parented Judith while in the single-parent role. Carl (older and a bit more independent) was ‘usually’ on the forefront of Lori’s mind and commonly in Lori’s sight (not always, but quite often). Lori palmed off Carl a few times on others over the course of a few months during Atlanta and the farm. Judith (a totally dependent baby) may have been the driving force of many of Rick’s actions, but spent well over half of their short relationship relegated to a background role in his life. She was frequently palmed off on others while he played hero roles, often leaving for days/weeks at a time unnecessarily, during the 3 short years he knew her. Sometimes he had to, but a lot of the time, he didn’t. He could have declined, chosen others (who were sometimes volunteering!), and said “No. I trust you to handle this. We’re safe right now, so I’m going to spend time bonding with my daughter.”
What’s your thoughts on this?
So I’ve been mixed on the new spinoffs so far. Some brilliant stuff and some real bollocks too, haha.
But the hill I will die on is that Greg Nicotero is right now doing absolutely amazing career best work with his team when it comes to the walker designs, costumes and practical effects.
Some of my faves:
The bioluminescent zombos in the Channel Tunnel.
The “walker king” made from several putrid zombies whose flesh has fused together in Manhattan’s sewers (feels like a Last of Us 2 nod). Guy in a costume plus puppet parts with the puppeteer walking behind, according to the BTS!
The mossy, grassy guys heaving themselves out of the hillside in Greenland.
The ultraviolent running zoms in the Daryl show …really make walkers feel threatening again.
And man, the zombie orchestra puppet show in Paris. That guy conducting and going “le culture!” had me rolling. It’s easy to knock TWD these days and say its past its prime, but moments like this have so much craft and creativity put into them, and if this frankly insane set piece was in a new movie or show I feel like horror fans would lose their minds for it.
These are the most creative, spectacular, gruesome and gross walkers we’ve had, and yeah using beautifully made practical effects, puppets and suits. If you love classic zombie/ creature/ monster movies and shows, or if you’re a big Guillermo del Toro head for example and appreciate that practical touch, I just think there’s so much to enjoy here for horror sickos …even if the scripts are a bit rickety sometimes.
Anyway thats my rant, looking forward to starting Daryl season 3 for more inventive gnarly critters.
my GOAT nd headrub merchant was not spitting facts here im sorry 😥
Most honest good guy in The Walking Dead. This one eyed mf didn't even gave a bullet instead striked brutally. Damn I am so pissed on this mf. Hope Rick kills this mf brutally.
So I had first watched the show as it was premiering but stopped around season 9. I decided to rewatch through to the end and then watch a few spinoffs and I’m through the whole reapers/Leah arc now and I simply can’t understand why Daryl and Leah got together. Leah is ultimately a cold religious fanatic and Daryl is someone with a very strong sense of morals and also isn’t very religious and doesn’t follow people blindly. On paper, they’re complete opposites. They also didn’t have much chemistry on screen. The way the love story started felt very contrived to me… I just don’t get it.
Look I know he had one off day where he rage quit and killed his people, and had the biggest choke job in TWD history: squad deep with a tank, two hostages, then somehow still losing to two farm girls, an elderly lady, and a hillbilly
But he was putting the belt on your guys boy Rick when it’s all said and done. The governor will forever be the GOAT of TWD villains
Context: I'm currently mid season 5 of twd (this is my first ever time watching)
I've been told 2 main opinions. 1) after season 1 switch and watch fear the walking dead and essentially watch in release order. 2) watch the entirety of twd (1-11) and then watch the spin off and watching them each from start to end.
Any opinions from the veteran watchers?
She was clearly upset and knew that Carol wasn’t happy with her. She was crying a lot and being told to “look at the flowers”. What was she expecting was going to happen at this moment? Did she think was going to be punished? Did she know she was going to die?
Think about 40-45 years
I hate everything in this world, maybe because i've seen too much, or maybe because i just don't like people.. one thing is for sure, The Walking Dead is the only show that can make me feel good. I live in a disorganized family, my mother left me 4 years ago, but i still miss her, it's nobody's fault, don't worry, i'm not blaming my family for the way i am and the way we are as a family, i don't judge anyone, i understand everybody and i'm not looking for sympathy. What i'm trying to say is, this show is the only thing that can make me feel alive and experience real emotions.
This show is my family, i am attached to the characters, i laugh with them, i am sad when they are, i even celebrate when they accomplish something. I just wanted to say this before i go and start again from season 1, i don't know why i felt like i should share this with you guys, but i guess i just did it. Love you guys and stay true to yourself no matter what and don't let anyone change you or control you, it's going to be a great night for me, take care guys!
