The Walking Dead (SPOILERS)

JESUS CHIST, how about the new one?! It was SO cinematic, SO tense, and, good god, those twists!

I wanna talk about Gabriel. In the comic, he dies hanging from the water tower, right? Beta kills him. It's insanely graphic.
They mention the water tower a few times in the episode, and, in the last shot, they're fucking HEADED for it.
Is Gabriel going to finally get his past due comic death, courtesy or one of those "reapers?" I hope not.

OR, is this all a symbol of the "death" of Gabriel as we know him? Maybe it's just symbolic of everything, and especially the whisperer war, turning him into a different person. Maybe going forward, this just means that Gabriel is going to be a stone cold killer. MAYBE, he'd even betray someone in the group. One thing's for certain: he sure doesn't see "the possibility of goodness in everyone" anymore or whatever.

There was a LOT of symbolism of inevitability and futility and beautiful things going bad in the beginning, with the blood on the flowers, and the skeletons holding each other, and the SAVE US on top of the building. Maybe that's all about the goodness of Gabriel unavoidably ending.

This episode was DEEP. It's one of my favorites ever.

And how about that whiskey? It was Duane Jones brand, which is Morgan's son's name.
I know the chance is slim, and it's probably just an Easter egg, but what if he's at the Commonwealth? What if he didn't really die? There's supposed to be a fear crossover, and there's been a LOT of rumors of Madison returning. People have been theorizing that Duane didn't really die for years, but, it seemed outlandish. NOW, though, the show is ending and they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Anyway, what did you guys think?

Edit:sorry for those lines at the top. I was trying to make spoiler tags, because of the bit about the comic, so I went into advanced editing mode and...yeah. Eight years on this iteration of the board, 7000 posts, and I still can't remember how to do it. :/

I didn't read the comic, so I didn't realize the significance of the water tower.

I really hope Madison doesn't cross over, I just couldn't get into her character in Fear.

Overall was an interesting epsidoe. It was deep when Mays brother shot himself.

Well, I'm thinking what if MORGAN comes back, and Madison comes back to fear.

I didn't like her much on fear, either, but the writing on the show is soooooo fucking good now.

Let me tell you another comic thing: in the Commonwealth, there's s wall where people post pictures of people they've lost.

Michonne gets there and sees her own picture, and realizes that her daughter, who had supposedly died, was in the Commonwealth, alive.

And one of the teasers for season 11 shows that wall.

So, they're gonna do that storyline with SOMEONE, I think.

It could be Ezekiel or Eugene or Yumiko.

But, what if it's later, and it's Morgan?

Also, I'm REALLY thinking Madison will come back to fear.

[Erneuert]

Haven’t watched the most recent episode yet so ignoring the above posts for now, but:

[ickyvicky]

Michonne gets there and sees her own picture, and realizes that her daughter, who had supposedly died, was in the Commonwealth, alive.

Who's her daughter?

[elevenism]

Who's her daughter?

Ok, comic spoilers again.



She had a daughter named Elody, I think? Elodie? Anyway, it's pronounced like Melody without the M.
It's just a daughter who Michonne thought had died near the beginning of the outbreak.
But, when she gets to the Commonwealth and sees that picture, she realizes that her daughter had been THERE, and, they reunite.

So, like I said: they put out a teaser showing that wall. It would seem that SOMEONE is gonna get that storyline.
I know it's a long shot, but, people have wondered and argued for YEARS about the possibility of Morgan's son being alive.
And, there IS that one African American Commonwealth trooper guy they keep lingering on in the previews. And there are also rumors of a Fear crossover.
I don't think this is very likely, but it would be SO cool if it was Morgan's son.
Fingers crossed.

@Erneuert , WATCH LAST WEEK'S EPISODE.
It's one of my all time favorites, I think.

[Erneuert]

Oh man, that was intense. I somehow thought Robert Patrick would have a bigger role in the show.

I thought he was saying “mace,” as in giving Aaron his mace back, then gets bludgeoned with it lmao

Madison is such a one dimensional character, she lacks (lacked?) emotion. Couldn’t get into her myself ever.

[thelastdisciple]

I somehow thought Robert Patrick would have a bigger role in the show.

I thought and was hoping for the same so it kinda deflated my enjoyment of the episode.

Honestly, it pissed me off at the time and i think I'm still salty about it.

[elevenism]

Same. She seemed...cold.

As far as RP having a bigger role in the show, I knew he was only contracted for one episode. I'm WAY too obsessed with this shit, lol. That's a damn shame that it killed the episode for you, @thelastdisciple .

BUT, I have been steering clear of the table reads and even a lot of the trailers, with so few episodes left. I read ABOUT the trailers, though.

Hey, though: he COULD be a bigger part of the show in spirit. He may have been one of those "reapers." It seems like we're meant to be confused about whether he was or not?

Yeah, I really dug that imagery at the beginning with the pure/peaceful things getting covered in walker blood and the parallels one can draw from that.

I have a strong feeling they will utilise the water tower death with Gabriel. Whenever they go deep into a character it usually means they only have a couple of episodes left based on precedent.

Like, ok. I'm not sure if they'll actually do the water tower death? It might be just a symbol?
But, they sure might.

And I know what you mean. It's like, Gabriel has gone from a coward who was losing his faith, to a fighter who had his faith restored. But, now, he's a jaded, stone cold killer, (which goes along nicely with the imagery.)

So it's like, yeah, his "character arc" could be over.

[Erneuert]

Oh my god what a likeness:

^^^ love it. I was Negan for Halloween a couple years ago. I loved swinging that bat around, a couple of people actually came up to me and said they were scared of me, lmao.

Pics!

edit: did it look like this? https://youtube.com/shorts/g5qFjH4zXcA

[ickyvicky]

I'd be scared as hell to take any candy from any Negan-look-a-like! lmao

Princess was definitely looney in this latest episode.

[Erneuert]

Haven’t had a chance to watch the latest one yet. I saw some YT thumbnail saying it’s the crappiest episode yet?

@ickyvicky Still waiting to see you as Negan.

[miss k bee]

Should have shown a better back story for Princess, not whatever that was. Sometimes Talking Dead is more interesting that the actual episode they are talking about.
Last week's episode was good, this week not much

I actually thought it was ok.

The early reviews say the NEXT one is supposed to be the bad one.

I'm just keeping in mind that these episodes weren't supposed to.exist in the first place, and were filmed during quarantine, you know?

I'm happy just to have something. Like, I back when Fear was really bad, I still looked forward to it on Sunday nites because it was SOMETHING.

Just caught up on the last two and, you’re right, the second one is definitely the stinker. Boring as batshit!

The first one with Princess in the shower I wasn’t complaining about, lol.

Looks like they’re saving the best for last with Here’s Negan.

[Erneuert]

Also, why is it generally just 3-4 of us who regularly post in here? I’d expect more tbh.

I suspect most people jumped ship at or before Rick/Andrew Lincoln departed the show, perhaps even before the war with the saviors had concluded.

[fillow]

I'm just not watching the season while it's on, Imma binge it once it's done or at least reached mid-season finale.

In the last 10 years, the only shows that I watched weekly were Watchmen and Twin Peaks Season 3

THIS, @Erneuert and, sadly, those people have missed the generally stunning Angela Kang era.

[bobbie solo]

I see what you fuckers are trying to do, but I don't buy it, it won't work and I will NOT come back to this fucking show. Stop peer pressuring me! I will however still lurk consistently to see what references from the comic may come up.
