The Walking Dead Season 6 Discussion

[Locutus of Bored]

I think it's very, very, likely Glenn will meet the same fate as his comic book counterpart.

Negan's got that strange sense of sick honor that some TV/movie psychopaths have, and the two people who he specifically ruled out were Glenn and Carl (Carl in that he said to cut out his eye and feed it to Rick if anyone got out of line). When Glenn freaked out about Maggie, he said "I'll give you a free pass on that one." In his twisted logic, it might seem like he was going back on giving that free pass if he subsequently killed Glenn anyway. He thinks by being honest to the group that that makes him at least slightly more reasonable to the group despite the horrors he's going to visit upon them, like "But at least I never lied to you."

Besides that, everyone was originally expecting Glenn to die here based on his fate in the comics, and they've already done two ridiculous fakeouts on his dying or nearly dying this season, so to do it again would just seem to be stretching audience patience.

But see the "free pass" was not retaliating for Glenn's outburst, not immunity from what Negan was preparing to do.

Negan's sons Sam and Dean will appear in the upcoming seasons to avenge his eventual death..

Hey moron not everyone here has read the comic books. You ruined things for a lot of people here. Next time put a spoiler tag on your post.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Seriously? Major villain might eventually die, film at eleven. That's the least shocking spoiler ever.

In other news, our protagonists eventually turn the tables on their enemies. SPOILERS.

But see the "free pass" was not retaliating for Glenn's outburst, not immunity from what Negan was preparing to do.

I know that's why he said it, but it's close enough together in my mind that I think the writers would have him avoid killing Glenn as a result, because Negan would strangely consider it wrong after just making that earlier promise. It's not anything solid, I know, but just a feeling I had about the scene and the character.

I think that's a joke because Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays Papa Winchester on Supernatural.

That's how I read the scene as well. ETA: oops, acknowledged above

Agreed. Also, if the producers want to throw the fan outcry of "you threw Glenn death fake-outs at us all season long" charge back at them, then making Glenn the actual victim would send the message that TWD producers don't screw around.

 

[Skywalker]

But they already screwed around. Killing the expected character wouldn't prove anything on their part.

It proves the audience--a group spending time trying to predict every event of the TV series, and complaining when it does not fit their theories--were wrong to think the producers were just milking the emotion/notoriety surrounding the comic death, and will actually follow through. If they do kill Glenn, it will silence the "fake out" crowd, while firmly sending the message that next to no character from the "A team" is safe.

Abraham seems obvious.. if he did, I wouldn't mind...I mean, i'd be sad he died, but relieved for the survivors

He was probably the only one to survive that first blow and still look up in defiance.

The ending was a total cop out, but I have to say Jeffery Dean Morgan as Negan was absolutely thrilling and pleasure to watch - I am very excited about him being in the show. He absolutely nailed it.

I must say--blocking the RV at every turn--very well executed.

There almost a part of me that wants to see all the former villain have some type of meeting in hell: Negan, the Gov', etc.

I would be willing to bet that any explanation as to why the zombies exist would be controversial at best. What would you prefer:
God's will (my personal preference).

That would tie well with PREACHER's take on Old Nobodaddy--giving everything a feel from THE STAND.

But non-supernatural zombies shouldn't work, period, never mind the decay destroying them.

Seeing zombies start to rise--even with head wounds--to show a second more horrific phase would be something to see.

 

[TREK_GOD_1]

Glenn would do that, too...and Abraham dying would not mean that much to the series at present.

 

[bbjeg]

Anyone can survive the first blow the if the writers want them to.

 

[Trekker4747]

Indeed. Maggie being as sick as she is could survive it, Daryl having already lost blood and having a gunshot wound could survive it, hell, if Judith were there *she* could survive it if the writers wanted her to.

Don't we already know from season one that it's a mutated (accidental or otherwise) virus of some sort?


Of course it would because it's simply not possible. Certainly not with the tech level of the show.

Hell, the whole thing is nonsensical even if you accept that a virus (or anything else) could reanimate the dead. The fact that A) everyone is infected, but only turns into a zombie if B) they're bitten or C) they die is just... there's no rational explanation for that. If it was just B, or just A and C, then it'd at least make some modicum of sense. But all three? It just... yeah, no. It's like saying, "Yeah, you have AIDS, but if this guy bites you or your heart stops, you get SUPER AIDS." Wot?

Viruses can be vegetative, ie, inserted in a host genome but not active, and then you could postulate that an infusion of fresh, active viruses sets the whole thing off. Could work that way.

But virues still can't make a dead body work. That death is the other trigger for walkerization makes no sense, as the body is now useless to any host organism outside of those that simply feed on it. Morpheus' nanomachines could work, though, as they presumably would get their energy from some outside source (solar powered?).

You forgot to add "driving a jet black 1967 Chevy Impala ... with a cranky guy who looks like he borrowed "Columbo's" wardrobe"

 

[TRON JA307020]

Does anyone not realy care who is the one that got whacked by Lucille. I am really losing interest in this show quickly. The supposed heroes(Original survivors) are really just as bad as the black hats. How is Negan killing one survivor in Ricks group with a bat really anymore evil then Rick shooting people in the head just because they won't give him information, killing people in their sleep or shooting at a guy and trying to kill him just for looking for his horse? I was actually rooting for Negan at the end of the episode after all the evil that Rick has done. Nah the show is just gotten too stupid with two equally bad sides now. Maybe the new comers with the armor will give us a group that has kept their morals throughout all of this by not outright murdering and using flimsy excuses such as "I don't take chances anymore" to murder such as Rick has done.

 

[theenglish]

Well, they're still not as evil as the main characters on the spinoff show.
