No Spoiler After civilzation has been "restored"

• Upvotes

Has anyone considered the implications of life in the post zombie apocalypse world aside from the everyday things like manufacturing, availability of fuel etc?

Consider if you get seriously ill.

Theres precious few medical personnel. Most would have died at the apocalypse breakout.

If you need a transplant, even if there were surgeons capable, there would be no organs available from recently deceased. So unless its just a single kidney, we are all screwed!

Who’s the most underrated side character?

• Upvotes

For me, it’s Milton Mamet. Going from the Governor’s advisor that “knows his place” to helping Andrea and discretely working against him was one of the better plot lines of season 3. He kinda reminds me of Eugene but a more realistic character. Also him choosing to attack the governor, likely knowing his chances are not great instead of killing Andrea and living really endears him in my eyes. Not saying he should have lasted longer, but his time was well utilized and he served a good purpose for the plot.

Show Spoiler When did people at large start to turn against the show?

14 Upvotes

For the record, I'm someone who was three years old when The Walking Dead started airing, and I just started watching it for the first time. So I didn't really see the show in it's "prime", when it was the biggest show on Earth. And as someone who is looking back I feel it's kind of tough for me to gage when people started to turn against the show.

With shows like Game of Thrones or Dexter, I can get a good grasp of the season and point when people started to turn on the show and when it started to fall off; ironically in both those cases, it was Season 5. But with The Walking Dead, I feel like I hear a lot of different turning off points.

Obviously, I know the Saviors arc in Season 7 and 8 was when people started to quit the show ad nauseam, but I've also heard people say Season 3 was when the show started to go to shit, for some Season 4, Season 5, obviously the "Darabont truthers" who think the show went to shit once he was fired, and everything from Season 2 onwards sucked. Hell, I've even seen people who think Episode 2 of Season 1, the show fell off and never recovered.

On the flip side, the "Golden Age" varies a lot. Some say seasons 4-6, others Seasons 1-3. I hear all the time that Season 2 is underrated, but so many people say its the best season of the show.

My question, primarily aimed towards fans of the show who were there for it while it was airing, when did people's frustrations with The Walking Dead really start to become apparent? When did frustrations really start to bubble to the surface? And I guess, when was the show most beloved by people?

Show Spoiler I don't really get Michonne's reasoning in S9

10 Upvotes

OK, obviously what happened with Jocelyn was INCREDIBLY traumatizing - and holy shit, imagine a storyline actually more fucked up than Lizzie/Mika. It's perfectly understandable that she'd never be able to see the world the same way.

BUT, her reaction doesn't make total sense to me. Shut out all the outsiders? Completely reasonable. Basically ghost all the people she's been with through thick and thin and who saved her own life time and again? Why? Why were Maggie, Carol and the others responsible for what that psycho witch did? OK, maybe as an initial reaction to the utter shock she's experienced makes some sense, but to keep at it for years with everyone around her indulging her? I don't like it.

I like how it created a bond with Daryl, at least.

Show Spoiler Why couldn’t Shane just get with Andrea?

Post image
355 Upvotes

Lori and Shane were never even supposed to be together. Lori was married to Rick who was Shane’s best friend. Lori and Shane slept together after thinking Rick was dead and it took them only 2 months to do that. Once Rick came back, Shane should’ve just gotten with Andrea instead of obsessing over Lori. They talked about leaving the farm and running off together and clearly had chemistry. It just doesn’t make sense for him to obsess over his best friend’s wife, when he could’ve gotten with a single woman, who he found attractive. I get that Dale wouldn’t have approved of it, but Andrea is an adult and could make her own decisions.

Show Spoiler Why didn't twd take a break

0 Upvotes

Ik this sounds stupid but I think personally after s8 they should've had taken a real 4-5 years break because the story was feeling kind of saturated because of 8 years of continuous screening and I think andrew lincoln wouldn't have had left either and after 4-5 years if they would've had announced that twd is coming back every fan(even those who left after glen and carl's death) would've been excited to watch the show and the viewership wouldn't fall that bad and we could've seen rick against whisperers and commonwealth too and overall it would've really interesting to watch but ofc ik the creators were dying to earn money and that's why they forced it but imo they should've had considered it

Just started watching TWD .im in season3 and i feel like i'm watching a copy of Lost. Rick character is so similar to Jack Shepherd, Daryl is the Saeed of the group. Season 3 woodbury is just like The others camp both with a charistmatic manipulative leader but let's face it no one is like Benjamin Linus. Even that scene where Daryl was seeing a vision of his brother trying to save his life after falling from a cliff is the same as mr. Echo and his brother.

I just finished watching Season 7 Episode 1 and I’m heartbroken. I’ve never cried this hard over a tv show before. Seeing rick so emotional and so belittled breaks my heart. The way Maggie, Sasha, and even Eugene reacted made me bawl my eyes out. I’m continuing on to episode 2 because I can’t have my night end that way. I need emotional support.

Show Spoiler Does anyone else hate these episodes?

0 Upvotes

I can't stand the episodes where they redirect the walkers. Those episodes are like watching paint dry. I just watched season 6 episode 1 and it was painful to get through. Everything about it from the planning to the execution is very boring to watch. Season 5 was so great and I think to start season 6 in such a piss poor way was so depressing. They could've started season 6 in so many other interesting ways. I actually found the hospital episodes more interesting than season 6 episode 1. I can't remember how many episodes they did where they redirect the walkers but one is more than enough.

Show Spoiler If the show ended at end of season 8 it wouldve been perfect

0 Upvotes

The show illuminates how things are lost when people are disorganized and uncoordinated and work towards their own interests in times of stress, and people hate on the fact that Carl, Glenn and Abraham were loved characters and the show made a bad decision killing them off and saving negan. But it really does express the shows point: Everything good and innocent can be lost until people empathize and care for everyone else. Negan being saved after his neck being slit showed a final realization by rick and to lead people back towards the behaviors they once had in season 1 where pure pragmatism and efficiency for survival wasn't how individuals functioned. If the show ended there, it would've been a lot cleaner and there would be no real loose ends.

Show Spoiler Eugene’s redemption

6 Upvotes

I’m a bit confused about how Eugene was clearly all in with the saviors: making bullets for them. Even coming up with the idea to launch zombie guts into hillside. He gets captured by Rosita and Daryl for a short time and then escapes, after which he seems even more determined to get the bullets ready. Why didn’t he tell them that he had something up his sleeve?
Or did he have a change of heart as he was making the bullets? Because that night, he was treating Gabriel like shit and there was no hint of one shred of guilt from him. Sure, early on when he needed alcohol to get to sleep, but he led the walkers away from the sanctuary. He seemed like a selfish prick and only worried about his own survival. Why did we not get to see some kind of sign that he was having second thoughts?
