Serf posted:I was thinking about this a few days ago. It is an interesting thought, but it suffers from the same problem as The Last of Us. Being immune to the zombie infection but not immune to being torn apart is still kinda useless. Given enough time the walker population will be pretty much wiped out if there aren't many new ones being created and getting free. I like the idea of the super time skip ending. Jump forward a few decades and show Judith dying in her 60's or 70's, surrounded by younger people. A line of dialogue saying how no-one born after a certain time ever turns, but they keep watch all night, just in case.

Optimus_Rhyme posted:Question for all of you. If this is the last season, it's not, but say AMC goes bankrupt or they decide to just end it BBC style, how should the series end? Oh, they absolutely should end with a time forward showing Alexandria as the new capitol of a new nation that rises from the ashes, to maybe like 100-200 years later when humanity is actually rebuilding and it is revealed the next generation - Judith in particular - is actually immune to the zombie condition, and cannot contract it; they inherited immunity from their parents. The world is reclaimed, Rick has a statue and is basically George Washington of the future, and we see some sort of museum dedicated to all that fell to restart civilization. Seems like a really perfect ending to me, if they wanted to not suck. So they'll do the reverse of all of that. yeah I eat rear end posted:Maybe have the main group minus Judith have to sacrifice themselves to pass on the "cure" information like I Am Legend did in the movie. I honestly think that one random theory may in fact be true: That future generations cannot contract the zombie plague. It kind of makes sense, and it would be a huge pay off for why the series - both TV and comic - have kept a baby in them for so long. Judith seems like something easier to cut for TV if she weren't plot important. I think one day she will get bit, this will be revealed, and that will offer a great lead in to an exit of the series. But I could be wrong. It'd be a good way to end things, though, in my opinion; it'd all but assure that everyone's struggle to insure the next generation's survival would ultimately be the tipping point for humanity to recover, with zombie bites becoming painful injuries, not death sentences, and no fear of reanimation behind your own walls. brocked posted:Especially since the only way to effectively demonstrate your immunity now is to die and not turn Or get bitten in a critical area like right on the chest, and not show signs of infection.

FTWD toyed with a group held together by a sort of cult of personality guy that had been bitten but didn't turn. Turned out he'd been trying to help a kid that they threw to the zombies because he'd been high on bath salts or PCP or something at the time. Knowing WD show writers, the ending would start by showing some new arrivals in Alexandria and throughout the ep, they keep dropping how 'they need to go see Rick', so oh, you think Rick's the leader and they have to do an entrance interview a la Deanna's system. By the end there's a twist and it's revealed 'going to see Rick' is some sort of altar or sepulchre or something with Rick's ancient-rear end bones on display, and it's been so long he's become some sort of mythical figure because he kept their eventual lord and saviors Coral and Judith alive long enough for them to grow up and become those what solved the zombie crisis. Or, they keep talking about going to see the monument to the great hero that saved humanity from the zombies, they go see it at the end of the ep, pan up and it's Gabriel or something.

I'm caught up now and I am actually pretty happy with this garbage now. The Negan one two was great and couldn't have happened to two better people (that Glen had it coming). I found it the most surprising intense TV I've seen a long long time and the most horrifying TV, well ever. I was dreading a Morgan episode but Carol made it alright, glad to see her finally get a booty call. Though thinking about it she already did from that builder guy in Alexandria right? Is he still alive? Is that spazzy Spencer still alive? The tiger was poo poo but it was the guy turned out alright, I'm glad they dropped the facade very quickly. Maybe I phased out or something (it's the best way to watch this show) but was it explained if the the residents there are just playing along with it cause it's stable or are they actually buying into the whole King thing? It always bugged me how they split the cast and focused on only one set each episode, like now the whole crew is split up again; Rick and Co back to Alexandria, Maggie and Sasha going to Jesus' place, the pregnant one and Dr Dre gone caravan vacation, Morgan and Carol, Daryl kidnapped. But I suppose I should just accept it, it occurs to me they've being doing this now since season 3 with the lame governor town episodes and oh god...the Beth episodes. Senor Tron posted:I like any town that shows how much better any community without Rick in charge seems to do. This is so true. Rick is a just a perpetual train wreck wherever he shows up, next stop The Kingdom! Have Carol and Morgan just totally abandoned Alexandria now? They've got no intention of going back right?

Call this 'The Mailman' ending. But yeah, since the comic book author likes money he will never end the comic book series which means the show will likely limp along forever until AMC either goes under or finds another show that does better in the ratings and decides to cut and run. For those that watched, did MadMen get better near the end or worse? Was the ending satisfying? And since all the ideas here are amazing, I suspect NONE of those things will happen and Judith is being saved by the author so Rick has ONE LAST thing to lose after losing Carl somehow.

I hope the show goes completely off the rails as time goes on. In season 18 I want to see a revived Roman Empire throwing legions at Greek hoplites somewhere in the Midwest. Season 23 will see caravels from New Spain arriving on the beaches of Florida.

T-Dog (forever still the greatest in our hearts) was using a fireplace poker and riot shield in S3, so he was basically a Spartan. On that front, why didn't anyone else think to grab a shield so they could phalanx maneuver the prison zombies? Probably for the same 'reasons' that only Glenn thought to use riot armor after a few episodes.

Optimus_Rhyme posted:Call this 'The Mailman' ending. Some good character moments and some closure but I wouldn't say worse. Good dialogue, acting, costumes and set designs as always and still carried that theme of the changing world. There wasn't any "ZOMG EXPLOSIONS" scene but really just quiet desperation like most of the series. Some called it a little anti-climactic but it was that kind of show. Some guys got promotions, some people died, Draper finally came to a crossroads and it left it open to interpretation that he might have go back to Marketing with one last Giant Idea. Like I said: it was Mad Men. It was a solid show but quieter and more subdued than Breaking Bad, which was very fitting. It certainly wasn't Dexter. Btw you should watch Better Call Saul as that show is drat fine and it needs more viewers. galagazombie posted:I'm amazed it took al the way until the Kingdom for anyone to make a spear. Literally the best anti-zombie weapon possible and it's the first human invention after the rock. Have stick? > Make it sharp. Even Chimpanzee's do this in the wild. Same here. Hell simple bows aren't THAT hard to make. Especially if someone has livestick you got plenty of intestine or whatnot for string. There are a ton of ex special forces guys living in the middle of nowhere even today that can make traps and simple weapons out of nothing and I'm sure at least some of those guys survived. Hell Morgan had his town in Clear and Michonne essentially did the same. I know plenty of fellow rednecks that made a lovely bow and spear to gig fish. Some kids even did that for fun. Also can use some forms of moonshine for a gasoline substitute that will kill an engine long term if it works. Sometimes it just causes a big kaboom of fire. Don't try this with things you care about btw. In another alternate reality Walking Dead I would love them to have them explore this route as well as gasoline ageing and becoming useless and cordite becoming rarer and rarer. That bollocks show revolution had black powder muskets and flintlocks in the early season. Always thought that was a nice touch as people had to start making their own gunpowder from scratch. Course later on they ignored they started ignoring that. John F Bennett posted:I hope the show goes completely off the rails as time goes on.

I remember on a work trip, I showed my coworker 'T-Dog season 2 scenes' which was all of 5 minutes. When Merle came back I was like 'cool, he'll finally have a story arc!' and he was the only one to stand up for the 'nice' prisoners. But of course he died once he got a whiff of character development, which seemed to start the trend. I wish he were still around. E: I feel like S3 was just a shitton of wasted potential. Sure it had 'Clear', but for the most part it seemed like side characters just rotted on the vine. Oscar, Axel, Milton, Merle...

She wasn't happy being a Rambo like killer or a wolf in sheep's clothing cookie baker who threatens children. She isn't sure what she wants or if she wants to get close to people again, see them die or be threatened and have to become a ruthless killer again. I always assumed she was still a little hosed up about Rick and co. murdering those people in their sleep and her and Maggie being captured and then having to kill her captors, some of whom slightly humanized themselves before she killed them.
