The Walking dead

[Airborneguy]

I told my wife after season 1 that I think this is going to end up being the whole basis for the story. When the CDC guy whispered in Rick's ear, I was convinced.

 

[dudius]

The "It was all just a dream" thing would be such a cop out, it's lazy and I feel like it's been done several times before. Hell, in the second grade we had to write fictional stories and I ended mine like that. So if a second-grader can think of it, it isn't a good ending.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

No way can they go the dream route. Or purgatory. I think they may go out more Sopranos style.

 

[milldoggy]

I will bet you one keg it will end with the world becoming zombies and the human race ends

 

[Punity]

I will bet you one keg it will end with the world becoming zombies and the human race ends

Ill take that bet

 

[emjay]

Wrong, all of you. It's going to end like The Mist - the movie, not the Stephen King novella it was based on.

Alright, any of you see the trailer for Season 4 that was released at Comic-Con this past weekend? It looks like there will be some cool story lines playing out, including Rick taking a step back from leading the group, as well as the 'walkers' adapting and working together to accomplish their goal of eating people. I know that i am excited for October 13th to come...

Yes!! I know that trailers are always action packed to get people amped, but it looks as though the coming season will be walker-focused, and more exciting. The scene with the break-in at the prison with the children in jeopardy was really charged and chaotic.

Think the Guv is feeding the walkers?

 

[Airborneguy]

Rather than showing us the sociological lives of the walkers, they should focus on the main characters figuring out how this all happened. This all reeks of "dragging out a good thing" to me. That said, Rick stepping back is a good thing. He's a horrible leader anyway.

What he said! I'm really considering not watching this fall and marathoning it later, if the season deserves it.

 

[coinhall09]

Yes and yes , figure out how this all began . I saw the movie WWZ I'm theater , kinda the same thing ,( they didn't figure out how it began or how to fix it ) good movie tho , the walking dead is great in realness point but bad on the story play .

 

[CGVT]

But... if you are a small band of survivors why the hell would you care how it started? Even if they did care there isn't anything they could do about it if they knew. The only real focus would be on surviving

 

[Airborneguy]

A show about a few people surviving gets old real quick, like two seasons ago. If they don't make the story about something greater than this little band, I for one will be giving up real soon.

That is the worst movie ever, it used to run daily in Korea when I was over there. The ending was terrible! I'd be so pissed if it happened to this series.

I'm fine watching this little group, new people come and go, more so than on regular TV shows that have the same cast with no extra characters for almost 10 years.

Maybe, maybe not. Looking back though, one of my favourite parts of all the series was when they were in the CDC building in Atlanta finding out all sorts of stuff!

True, but if they were going to find out anything, that would have been the time.

In a show consisting of the implausible, it would be extra implausible for a bunch of dirt-poor, uneducated in science survivors to stumble upon the cause.

 

[HoppyDaze]

I hope they find flying zombies that dive bomb you when you're out in the open.

Close enough...

 

[coinhall09]

Is that a pic from , left 4 dead the game ?

 

[emjay]

Yep. It's a "special infected" (i.e. a playable zombie), called a hunter.

 

[dudius]

Finding a cure, cause, or antidote regarding the zombies means that the show will lose purpose. I think the whole part of the story is "this is the world now and it's going to stay like that til all the zombies are gone".

That said, there are some things that really could have been differently story-wise up to this part. There were a lot of possibilities that just weren't used or under used. Just about every time something really cool COULD happen, there's a letdown. I don't feel much suspense with the show anymore, just let down.

 

[cheezydemon3]

The whole "everyone is a carrier" means that all zombies will be gone when all people are gone...unless a cure were somehow developed.

Not necessarily, it just means everyone gets cremated and a spike through the head when they die...and cremated bodies take up next to no space.

Stephen King has a short story about this. It is more complicated than that

Old people and sick people get tied down, loved one starts having a heart attack you have to blow his head off......

Yep. As the guy at the CDC said, "This is our extinction event".

Logic says that eventually the zombies win. People die unexpectedly all the time. A 40 year old dies of a heart attack in the middle of the night and a whole colony could be wiped out.

You could never get rid of all of the zombies and you could never put in enough precautions to ensure your safety unless you never went to sleep in the same room as another person.

No cure=No humans

Exactly. Crib death, accidental falling, car accidents...any one of us any time.

Short of everyone in barricaded isolation, GAME OVER.

 

[Airborneguy]

Keep in mind that we don't yet know if the baby (and any others obviously), are infected also. Obviously something is planned for that baby.

 

[CGVT]

They should kill her to see...

It's TWD, nothing is ever planned and we all know it.

You're probably right. Whenever a show gets popular, it becomes about the focus groups, not the story that was planned ahead of time.
