Looks like it's time to take this discussion out of the Season 2 thread and into a new one.


I'm stoked on the return of Merl and to see what is done with his character.

And of course this lovely lady...

I think it's going to be interesting to see more human vs human conflict but I seriously hope they keep the number of zombies per episode much higher than the second season. Just because the people are now fighting each other it doesn't mean that you can forget about the reason this show is so good to begin with...dead people!

Post discussion, pics, etc.


STOKED FOR OCTOBER

Well yeah Derryl was in the previews so he made it out. And at one point Glenn said "WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!" which I assume he was talking about Merle. And at the beginning of the preview the smoke grenade stuff was all around the governor (he had the "oh shit were fucked now" look, so I assume Rick and crew went back to save Darryl and Merle.

the origanal cast is down to pretty slim numbers so i highly doubt that merle & daryl will be killed off this season. But then again, we've seen some pretty unpredictable shit go down so who knows.

and also, haven't read^above yet, but i think it`s safe to say that the walking dead may be abit racist. "More blacks move in, more blacks gotta move out" must be they're modo

No one commented on the new group to the prison??


Kill a black guy introduce a black guy...its like the take a penny leave a penny for a tv series. Although this new dude does not look like he's been struggling to eat during the zombie apocalypse, he must have been holed up in a denny's or something

I'm guessing he becomes Rick's new right hand man - he's clearly the leader of his land group and seems very level headed and intelligent but not very alpha. I think once Rick meets teh new prison group the black guy will step into the loyal #2 role

this. and I am also going to assume Merrill is still alive. When they showed the next episode you can hear Glen say "Why is here with you" or something like that. I am only assuming he is referring to Merrill. Who else would he say that about?

I think that even though everyone hates Andrea she is going to come up big on the next episode. They showed a girls legs holding a gun as they panned the crowd at the end. I am going to assume that that is Andrea and she is gonna step up with her gun to save the Brothers.


What does everyone think of Rick trying to leave the group in the next episode? Why is that going to happen? Why did Carl say "you dont need to be the leader"?

Andrea seeing Daryl was the best hahaha, she was like "ooooh fuck" jaw dropped. I know a lot of you hate her, but previews showed her going to find them - I really have faith in her character. I'm still hoping.

I wonder what's going to happen with Merle and the new group of people who found the prison.

The new black dude is not particularly new, he saves Rick in season one does he not? Right as he leaves the hospital. he must've lost his son or something. I could've sworn it's the same guy.

no way man. they both make it out if you watch the clips from the next episode. Did nobody see Darryl in the one shot or hear Glen say "What is he doing with you"?

That's true, but we all know merle isnt going to be allowed into the group even if they do escape so might as well consider him dead if his one option is the group.

Darryl wont let that happen. You saw how emotional he got when they said his brother was alive and in the town. He will stand by his brother and not let him die. I don't think he tried very hard to get away at the end cause he wanted to see his brother.

Daryl looks up to Merle because he's his older brother. I'm not so sure Merle feels the same way about Daryl anymore. I could see him saying something like, "Thanks for getting me out of there, little brother, but you left me on a rooftop to die and then abandoned me with your new friends," then trying to ambush him, forcing a Daryl/Merle battle where Daryl ends up killing Merle to protect the group.

i actually lost my shit when pseudo-Shane shot Oscar.
like damn

it's crazy though, it's just one more thing that backs up the theory that Rick is still in a coma and is actually dreaming up the whole thing. (it explains phone, hallucinations, etc.)

I would punch a hole through my TV if this ended up being true. That would be the worst ending to a TV series of all time.

No it doesn't. It proves he's exhausted/malnourished/stressed/heartbroken/grief stricken - all of which are playing heavily on his mind causing him to hallucinate in stressful situations like the gun fight and walker attack in which Laurie gave birth and died

Coma theory is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard

it cuts to black because tony is dead, every time the door of the diner opens it cuts to a pov shot of tony and the last time the door opens it cuts to black because he is dead and therefore cannot see, the dude that walked into the bathroom walked out and shot him

not here to debate the ending, but it was a huge troll cause people thought their power went out, they called the cable companies bitching cause they missed the ending of show, people were pissed cause they thought it was just their TV and they missed him getting killed.

Anyone see any parallels with da govena and america? scapegoating terrorists and what not? Just a thought.

carl also putting the move on the new group. locking them in the other cell. keeping the new group and carl's group safe.

What an episode. Andrea will double agent for the first couple new ones I bet. Merle and Darryl will make it back to the prison. The new group will be stronger than ever. I doubt Merle holds any grudge against Rick. Gov turned on him and threatened Merle's bro. Plug Glenn said that they went back for him. I'm stoked yet pissed. Gotta hand it to amc though. Really don't have a clue what happens next. Though I don't read the comics

So far, the show isn't even really following the comics as far as the whole woodbury town storyline anyway, so god only knows what will happen next.

I think they honestly started the show with this ending in mind kind of as a back up plan for if the show didn't do well. However once ratings went up and it started doing really well they probably realize if they end the show like this now, people will rage.
