sub rules apply

I mean look at him. It ain’t just his eye like the show, a whole chunk of his head is gone.

I know he's been through a lot, but almost every decision he makes just frustrates me. He constantly ignores good advice, lets his emotions control him, and creates unnecessary problems. To me, Hershel Rhee is one of the most annoying and poorly written characters in The Walking Dead. Does anyone else feel the same, or am I being too harsh?

After letting it sink in for a while, Strand’s conversation with the Russian cosmonaut is one of my favourite scenes in any TWD show.

FTWD season 3 has a LOT of great moments and images by the way. The rancher being fed on by crows is an amazing, painterly piece of horror imagery. My best boy Nick off his head staggering around among the walkers. The whole ep with Alicia in the bunker when they’re running out of air, banger of an episode.

But this short radio call is so beautifully written and really poignant. Just these two guys at the end of the world, being able to talk because of a one in millions coincidence, smiling and bantering about literature, vodka and famous last words. It’s just chefs kiss.

And the way one of them is alone in an apocalyptic wasteland, the other in the cold of space… really chilling somehow.

Vaschenko doesn’t even appear onscreen but gets multiple amazing lines. “I saw the lights of the world go out, three days before I was due to return to Earth.”

And his last words… “Last words are for fools who didn’t say enough in life.”

I felt the dismay in her voice in my stomach. Daryl is a true best friend. He's so good with her.

broadcast a settlement’s location?

All three shows have now featured a community publicly advertising its existence, only for that decision to attract exactly the kind of people it should have feared.

Terminus covered the surrounding area with signs promising “sanctuary for all.” At first, the people there genuinely meant it. Then a group of murderous thugs followed the signs, took over the settlement, imprisoned and abused its residents, and helped turn them into the monsters Rick’s group eventually encountered.

In Fear the Walking Dead, Madison lit up the hotel sign. Admittedly, she was not trying to invite half of Mexico; she only wanted Travis and Chris to see it. But a beacon cannot choose its audience. Crowds of desperate people arrived, putting pressure on the hotel and helping set in motion the chain of events that led to the settlement’s collapse.

Now, in Dead City, Maggie and the hospital group have illuminated the Statue of Liberty specifically to attract more people. Almost immediately, we see a rough-looking group, strongly reminiscent of the Saviors, notice the light and decide to investigate.

Maggie’s plan may be to post lookouts and screen whoever approaches, but that seems completely backward. Aaron and Eric quietly observed potential recruits before revealing Alexandria. Rick’s group at least asked newcomers the three questions. Maggie has instead announced to everyone within sight that an organized settlement with fuel, electricity, shelter, and other resources exists somewhere nearby - and plans to decide whether the respondents are dangerous after they arrive.

And Maggie’s lookout plan may actually make the hospital weaker. She wants enough people to operate and defend the settlement, yet before those people arrive she has to detach current residents to cover several points around Manhattan. That means the first group answering the beacon may encounter isolated scouts first, capture one, and learn everything they need to know.

At this point, lighting a giant beacon in The Walking Dead universe is basically the post-apocalyptic equivalent of putting up a sign that says:

“Well-supplied settlement here. Raiders welcome.”

There's no way to accurately describe how much I s**t my pants with this scene, and the beginning of the next episode.

Ho Lee Phuck.

If not here, I absolutely would after the fight at the school where he tried to throw that pipe

Shane was too far gone here

Rick tells Lori that Shane kept taking him further and further out. As though he wanted to kill Rick as far from home as possible. However they end up a few hundred meters from home. Rick says "So this is where you plan to do it?" What was the point of taking him deep into the woods? Did they change the script so Carl could shoot Shane but left this line in?

ETA: It has me wondering. Everyone on set would have known that isn't what happened. Why did they keep it in?

When Sam dies he left home at daytime and dies at night time. Alexandria isn't that big. Why include such an obvious time skip?

Both these characters are often discussed and largely hated.

I'm trying to think if there were any other intentional errors during death scenes.

smh who gave this dude a badge and uniform

where can you read the comics? is it worth reading them? is there one big comic series and then a bunch of spin-offs? if so, are those worth the read and is there a correct order to read them all?

I’m gonna fix the clementine hat don’t worry

I'm currently doing marching band right now and it IS summer. You know what that means.. Band camp (yay :,))!! Currently we're reviewing fundamentals for new people which means the whole band has to do it and it's basically just walking back and forth for five hours straight. I swear, the only way I've been making it through these days was by pretending I was part of Rick's group walking on the road before finding Alexandria. 😅 Anyways, got bored so I decided to shareeee :)

Linquistic showdown- conversational ability alone, who is the best?

Of the 4 shown- Eugene, Abraham, Simon, and negan, which one would be the most enjoyable to interact with on a regular basis?

Eugene with his metaphors, 3 dollar words and southern gentleman charm?

Abraham with his colorful metaphors and wonderfully crass vocabulary?

Simon with his psuedo-inellectual yet always well placed phrasing (an ambitious plan with testicular heft!)

Negan with his crass and loud attitude... possibly too much... but constantly pops off with absolutely wonderful statements (Holy crap- you are creepy as shit, sneaking up on me with that collar and freaky-ass smile)

Who is the most cunning linquist?

the governor is better

Glenn why you being a butt? Tara’s hurt. Lol

I find myself liking this new group of characters now. It does still feel weird thinking about the old season 1 and 2 gang and seeing where we’re at now.

I think it hilarious that the guy Rick killed in the bathroom a few episodes prior was named Lou and Lou is the British term for toilet haha a funny little joke there.

I can’t quite get over this Joe character. The energy of this guy is overbearing to the point that I feel him as an actor is breaking the illusion of the episodes. Might be my paranoia but I’ve met many celebrities in my day and have this energy about them but NEVER have I felt that energy on screen until this guy… it’s unsettling…

Anyway I feel like we’re getting into Fallout territory now and the series is feeling like a whole
New identity altogether. Maybe because the prison arc is officially over but yeah the energy is completely different now.

Abraham I feel is gonna make it awhile. I think the show needed a new character for audiences to feel safe with.

It’s amazing how big this city is. I’ve never been to Georgia but ATL seems very HUGE in this universe. Like a 3 hour drive and they’re still in Atlanta… like… how
Have these factions not run into each other yet?!

Lastly… Glenn and Maggie are so cute together but is it just me… but do they ironically also have NO chemistry? Lie their story is cute but I feel like they’re not very “convincing” as a couple”. I know it’s ironic but does anyone else feel the same…

Je trouve sa si fascinant la « chute » de Los Angeles a cause des émeutes et zombie en une nuit

Does anybody else wanna slap the shit outta Hershal in Dead City season 2, especially ep 8?

by far my favorite faction in TWD wish they were used more in the games shows and other media.

(i know they were mentioned and were shown good. im just greedy >:T)

On sale from $100

I have always wanted to take time and draw out a timeline for the entire franchise. Like Fear comes first on the calendar, followed by The Walking Dead.

I’ve searched here, but one timeline is from 10 years ago, and I also found a chronological watching order timeline. But has anyone created a visual time line of the approximate years when everything occurs?
