The Walking Dead Season 5

[Turd Ferguson]

Daryl doing something rash now--as some reaction to the "normalcy" of the ASZ would be too out of character.

Not really. I think one thing that's been established about Daryl is that he still carries his contempt from before the apocalypse to the present. He showed a lot of resentment for the rich people at the golf club, and scoffed at that painting because it would be owned by rich people. Then all of sudden his group comes into this neighborhood that was basically built for rich people, and is likely still populated by some of them. Regardless of how his character has changed, he will never be able to adjust to that.

I don't think that means he's gonna snap and go insane though. He might just leave or hang outside the walls in one of those dilapidated houses. Or maybe he'll be sent into exile after beating the crap out of Aidan. Something has to give though.

Not only that, but remembering back to season one, he carries some of Walter White's blue meth with him, which also leads me to believe he had frequent run in with John Q. Law, which, with Rick being Constable, is now back in full cop mode. That probably won't sit too well with Daryl.

It said that Daryl is on a run, not the run. Two different out come.
This is only speculation, it doesn't means this is what going to happen. But if you think it's a spoiler? You can put it under spoiler.

Daryl finds trouble while on a run; Rick and the group feel like outsiders in Alexandria, where trouble approaches the gates.

Meaning that Daryl is on a supple run and finds trouble. Which most likely he gets capture by a group may or may not be lead by Negan.

At first probably, but maybe not. They will tried to get Daryl to join them.

Meanwhile at Alexandria, Rick and the gang are being treated like trash by most of the Resident and is thinking wheather they should stay or leave. But, they are divided on it.

Later, a militant force show up at the Alexandria main gate. About 50 or 100 or more. They have Daryl with them and they are threating to kill Daryl if they don't open the gates and surrender.

But Deanna tell them no and Rick agree with her. Eventhough some in his gang think they should go and rescue Daryl.

Outside of the gate. The militant leader had his men position themself by the gate, so they can be ready to rush in as soon as the gates are open.

While he is waiting, he start to hit Daryl with some type barb cover weapon, not one hit after another, but a hit, a pulse for a minute.

By that time, Sasha, Rick, Abraham and Deanna are up in the tower. Sasha has her rifle with her, but she can't get a shot off. But has a shot on Daryl, but don't want to shoot him.

At some point, like many actors Andrew Lincoln will not want to play Rick Grimes anymore. If the show is still on the air at that point, Rick will have to die.

From the sound of it, Lincoln is still enjoying the heck out of making the show, so I doubt he has plans to leave any time soon. And I can't really blame him, since he gets to run around in the woods and play a zombie-killing badass every day.

Dude, this role has MADE Lincoln's career. I don't think he'd have ever landed anything like this part in his career otherwise. Reedus had something of a career beforehand, & even he is hooked. These people LOVE acting on this show. There'd have to be some kind of dispute for Lincoln to want to leave within the next 5 years

Does anyone really see the show going beyond ten seasons? I think it could, but it probably won't

I don't think it's impossible. Several shows have had really long runs, some with actors sticking around, some with entire new casts. I think that because of the nature of TWD, that by a tenth season, it may not even be likely for most of the original cast to remain.

However, to put things in perspective, right now the comics are at #137, where Rick is still alive. At the rate the TV show has been covering ground, it probably wouldn't catch up to where the comics are now for about 3 or 4 years. But by that time, the comics will have steadily moved ahead. If the rates stayed consistent, the two probably wouldn't intersect for over 10 years, so it wouldn't be much like the Game of Thrones problem.

I've also heard it said that Kirkman would like to do 300 issues of the comic. Obviously that number could vary greatly in the end, but one wonders if the comics made it to #300 and that was the end, would the show use the same ending? At the current rate of things, that would take another dozen seasons. Somehow I don't know if it could go on that long. There might be a better stopping point somewhere along the way.

Gunsmoke did 20 season. So it be what the ratings will be, for The Walking Dead to go beyond 10 season or if the main actor decides to leave, or his charactor get kill off in the comic versen. But most likely the Rick won't get kill off. They will somehow find a cure to keep someone from turning into a walker without shopping their limb off.

I think the television series will catch up with the comics in two to three years.

Lincoln seems to love the whole process of filming. The cast has mentioned that he'll watch the filming of scenes that don't even require him just to see the performances. The man loves to be there.

 

[Trekker4747]

Yeah, that's what I've heard too. Lincoln is in it for the long-haul and I really, really, hope the producers see the value in Reedus and keep him on. He's a very popular character who has offered a whole lot during his tenure on the show. If Reedus is all for being on the show, keep him around.

 

[davejames]

Considering how fast these past 5 years have flown by, another 5 years doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all. And as long as Kirkman is involved and the quality stays at the same level, I don't see why it couldn't keep on going.

Obviously there's always the danger that the show starts to feel a bit tired or repetitive after awhile, but so far I think they've done a good job avoiding that (or at least correcting themselves when it does start to happen).

And the fact we only get 16 episodes a year probably helps quite a bit as well.

Lincoln's career was already on an upward trajectory which is presumably why they offered him the role in the first place so I don't agree with that. The part has clearly boosted his career even further but he was always headed in that direction. You don't star in a Curtis ensemble piece unless you've already made an impact

And how exactly does someone never land a role until they've had the role ??

I reckon ten seasons exactly (could even scrape eleven)

Last Monday during the 10pm Better Call Saul. I seen a Walking Dead promo ad that look like it's a promo for the six season. Which I posted a few pages back. I'd ask around, one person said he saw the last part of it and said that his sister had seen all of it. And another person said, she recorded the Better Call Saul episode and didn't see The Walking Dead promo add at all.

Being in the Alexandria Safe Zone is likely going to hugely change the entire tone, focus, and direction of the show.

I suspect the series may last for 10 seasons, I think it'd be hard for a TV series to make it much past that without starting to get too stale and at some point they'd need to have some serious time-jumps or better track show-time with real-world time so that the ages of the characters don't clash too much with the age of the actors. Carl is still ridiculous, he's a teenager and in show-time it was only two years ago he was in grade-school awed by a deer in the woods.

Only thing I saw was just a general promo for the series, using clips from this past season. The next season won't air until October and I don't even think they start filming it until sometime late-spring or early Summer.

Did you watched Better Call Saul at 9pm your time' or at 10pm your time? That would be centra your time. My is eastern time.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

[Trekker4747]

LOL. Good one, Lo.

Did you watched Better Call Saul at 9pm your time' or at 10pm your time? That would be centra your time. My is eastern time.

It airs in the Central time-zone for me. But I don't watch it live, I watch it a day or two later on DVR. In fast-forwarding through the commercials though, TWD promos I saw just seemed like generic ones for the show overall and not for the next season.

It could had been a scene from one of the 3 remaining episodes of season 5? But the ad doesn't seem to fit in them episode. It either a promo to a upcoming webisode or season six.

But there is a posibility that that scene is from one of the remaining season five episodes? That if Judith and all the little children got kidnap by a group of cannibals

One of the guys on the The Spoiling Dead Fans Facebook page. Said it could been my cable provider the reason I and a few people had seen the ad, but most didn't. My is Bright House.

Who are the guys that carry a crossbow in The Walking Dead World, besides Daryl and Dwight? Maybe I mistaken that person as Daryl, cause he had the same built and hairstyle as Darly. When I saw the scene. I was looking for a guy with a barb cover bat. Which I didn't see. But I did seen the guy with the crossbow and the guy that look kind of like Rick.

I hope that they just ignore Carl's age like they have been doing until now. No need to reference it. They've already cast other teenagers in the show to be same age as Carl instead of younger kids so they seem to be doing exactly that. They can just grow up Judith if they need younger kid-characters in the show.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

They could've let more time pass in the prison and age Judith. It would make Carl's rapid aging look less ludicrous.

That's kind of it. Ignoring Carl's age pretty much changes huge chunks of the show into not making sense. It's only been inside of a couple of years since Rick woke up at the hospital, Judith's age plus a nine to ten month gestation period. Chandler Riggs is 15, if he's the same age as Carl "now is" due to what we'll consider soap-opera aging this means he was 13 when he got shot in a forest because he was awed by a deer.

He couldn't handle being out of the house alone without people wondering where he was, he was picked up from middle school/Jr. High the day his father was shot, not grade-school.

Think of everything Carl does and says in the first couple of seasons and think if any of it makes any sense being applied to a 13-year old. That's the age of my niece and I can't see her being so captured by a deer in front of her and gushing over how beautiful it was.

Now, we could argue we're at a tipping point, a point where maybe Carl being that age can *almost* make a tiny bit of sense. But only almost. Because at some point, especially if we don't have a meaningful time-jump a lot of this "young Carl" stuff is going to have happened when he was a teenager which is going to make the early part of the series kind-of look silly, especially on a re-watch. Lori was sitting outside Carl's high-school talking to a fellow parent about her marital troubles when Shane rolled up to tell them about Rick being shot.

How many mothers pick their child up from high-school?

How many teenage boys are stricken with awe and wonder over a deer?

So either we need a time-jump, or Carl is going to need to die in order for the series' time-line to make any kind of sense. They can keep getting babies of varying ages to "re cast" Judith who's essentially a prop at this point. But what's going to happen when there's an 18-year age gap between present-day Carl and present-day Judith?
