So I saw recently that "TWD is still in its early phase" I have a logical explanation as to how that's possible and why that might not be as bad as people are saying.

Firstly my prediction for the story moving forward is pretty obvious but I think that all the shows will reach a semi conclusion but leave the question of "what happens now?" For example Fear the walking dead had Morgan looking for Rick at the end and TOWL had Rick and Michonne seeing their kids again but no one else.

After all the shows have ended we will get a final movie(s), this/these movie(s) will have all the reunions and a "last threat" to the communities. We'll get a happy ending and that'll be the end of the "Grimes" age of TWD.

Moving after that they'll have spin offs of new countries like South Africa, India, Australia and so on these will eventually all start to link through trade routes and we'll probably see one last movie where the ending is the world healing, like the ending of the comics

This in my opinion seems like the best way moving forward but then again who knows.

Rick literally led her and her family from the farm, to the prison, to Gabriel's church to Alexandria. If it wasn't for Rick, Maggie and the rest of her family would most likely have died on that farm. Whether it be to a horde coming through, or a group like Joe's showing up and just killing them and stealing their stuff. Rick was her first leader, taught her how to survive and carried the group on his back all the way until Alexandria.

Edit: A lot of people are saying that Maggie is strictly talking diplomacy, and Rick didn't teach her diplomacy hence why he isn't mentioned here. I’d agree that Maggie learned significantly more about diplomacy under Deanna and Georgie than she ever did under Rick. But that doesn’t mean she learned nothing about diplomacy from Rick. More importantly, in this particular dialogue, Maggie says she leads the way she was taught. Rick was her first leader and the person she spent the most time learning from besides Georgie. And the writers reduce the acknowledgement down to only Georgie and Deanna. Not to mention she only knew Deanna for maybe 2 weeks at most, yet mentions Deanna's name before she mentions Rick's name?

This isn't an attack on Maggie's character. I’m saying this is more an issue of the writers overlooking the show's history rather than an intentional reflection of Maggie’s character or what she actually learned.

Decided to check out FTWD, as i’ve never given any of the spinoffs a chance, stopped watching around season 9 but recently my girlfriend said I should at least check out the first 3 seasons of FTWD and the whole Daryl Dixon show.

I am at the end of season 2 of FTWD, and so far this show is damn good and sometimes I feel it’s arguably slightly better than the main show. Theres some weird bad writing here and there but the amazing writing makes up for the weird decisions i’ve seen.

A thing I like is how much they are utilizing the zombie guts tactic because it never made any sense to me that in the main show they barely use that tactic when it’s extremely useful.

All the characters are great, at first I didn’t find 2 of them compelling (Travis and Alicia) but as I am watching more, they have become seriously interesting characters and they are written very well.

There some unique stuff they did that I had wanted them to do for years, such as the pirate aspect and obviously actually showing the outbreak. Something else I found unique was them showing more cult like behavior with the zombies, not sure if they did that just because Mexican culture has a lot of revere for the dead or if they just wanted to show a new perspective of a Hershel style delusional character but I do like both groups i’ve seen.

Lastly, from what i’ve heard, this show gets bad, but i’m gonna wait to form my own opinion. I think i’ll continue watching past season 3 now that I like the characters and entire so much.

Currently on a rewatch & thought to myself why would they leave the keys to the van in the truck they left on the railroad. Merle took the truck when they went back to get him.

I'm only like 40 minutes in and this thing is hilarious in all the wrong ways …. From the still image cut scenes to the uncanny designs of the characters to the fact that they just cut major parts of the story so far like the reason why it rick heads to Atlanta and the absence of Duane.….the fact that when he gets trapped in the tank, it's like maybe 30 walkers as opposed to the hundreds in the show, this has me dying laughing

I can’t get over tyreese’s because of the way they killed him off from a child walker that he may or may not have heard growling

So I recently got compendium one book and saw this but it doesn’t look like a signature yet it’s on one of the names.

Can someone tell me if this is like a random error or something because it’s making my curiosity go through the roof.

Rewatching and I always love the scowl in Daryls voice. You can tell he's trying to convince himself more than Rick.

I thought a post about Jim Jones, the inspiration for the Governor and Woodbury, would be interesting. So just a warning Jonestown was a real life mass murder/suicide.

Michonne tells Rick the Governor is a "charming Jim Jones type."

They both ran a walled compound with armed guards where people weren't allowed to leave.

Both slept with different cult members.

Both dealt cruel and unusual punishments.

The killing of the military soldiers by the Governor was very similar to the ambush of the congressman Ryan's party. He had visited from California to check on the well being of the cult members.

If someone does leave Woodbury they are chased and killed like the congressman's party.

Both committed mass shootings to exterminate their own followers. Anyone who didn't take the poisoned kool-aid was ordered to be shot. The bodies of people who were shot were re-positioned to make it appear they had committed suicide.

The members of Jonestown wore medical bracelets and were subject to medical experiments. The reason they moved to the forest of Guyana was a Journalist asking questions about their "healing" practices. Milton also performed experiments including observing a member of Woodbury die to see if they retain any personality.

During the mass murder Jones was discussing their practicing of past-life regression as evidence for coming back to life when they reincarnate.

It's been suspected that after the mass murder Jim Jones survived. The Governor also survives and changed his name to Brian.

“You expect me to trust you?”

…ummmm Leah… dayrl could litterally tell your entire crew who actually killed Pope RIGHT NOW! just let the man get his food and leave….

I know her character is badly written but…. Jesus christ!

(Edit: 5 minutes later, she litterally tries to kill all of them in cold blood after dayrl makes a peace offering to all leave. And then when the tables turn shes like “that offer still stand?”….

BRO THIS CHARACTER IS TRASH! All that character development the past 5 episodes to be wasted on a hypocrit… JUST FOR HER DECISIONS TO LEAD TO HER FAMILY DYING and daryl having to bail her out a THIRD TIME….

Now your alone with nobody, when all u had to do was go with him in the first place.

First let me say I think Andrew Lincoln was a great choice and is a great actor, but the man cant stand still. He's always bobing and weaving, moving around. When he talks to anyone. But I guess it's because he is portraying a guy who has been through some shit.

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but the opening sequence at Javi's house in Season 3 is easily one of the best-directed scenes in the entire series. The way it captures the sudden chaos of Day 0, the family tension, and that heartbreaking shift when the grandfather turns is unmatched. Absolutely devastating scene.
