This show should have a scene with one of the background characters just flicking a zombies head with their finger, causing it's head to squish.

Also that the walls were like a big point of pride for alexandria that they had an engineer who could build good walls that wouldn't just fall over from 5 zombies pushing at once lmao

I wish this show would be exciting. But alas, that would require likable characters facing believable hardships. That's already two things too many for this piece of poo poo show to uphold. Seriously though, who are you supposed to root for in this show? They are all the same interchangeable "bad-rear end" with a different subset of idiotic knacks. I suppose a more accurate term would be bad/rear end. I would root for the zombies but they suck and can only win by cheating.

They should bring back those gamers and their lovely aunt who gave them the book about how to dig a ditch. Those guys sucked so hard that even the normal cast looked good by comparison.


Can't wait to hatewatch the next episode.

Like all things related to time and distance in this show the quarry has changed it's location to be far away and inaccessible like everything else that is not on-screen at the very moment. Like how the towns are all within walking distance of each other yet did not know of each others existence. That quarry might well be in China now.

The towns people routinely walked between are now all only accessible by car, too.
Pity none of that machinery in the quarry could move some earth and help with the fields.
It's just not in the guide.

I vaguely remember that, how did they all die?

So many bad memories bring brought back and its great. Anyone got a good memory of this show though? mine is the cannibals but mostly because it was so blatantly obvious they were cannibals but there was that one poster in here adamant they weren't. Also the gifs.

My head canon is that they all took a vote and decided this Rick fellow was bad news, abandoned the bus to throw him of their trail, and are now living in a well ordered and prosperous society that has easily managed the zombie problem in Georgia while Virginia goes to hell.

They saw some bullet holes in the back of the bus, and it was full of people that had been sick with the flu.

Make up a fitting explanation in your head, because that's the only way it makes any sense.

There is no reason to be so combative when someone has a theory that is based off something they missed in a fictional story. Its actually kind of interesting to see where people go with their own spin offs.

It is really disturbing how many of you are hoping for cannibalism when there has been next to no evidence of that is what they are walking into. Something is really wrong with you people.

Cannibals are one theory (and quite possibly the right one) but lets not call it evidence until the show airs in October and tells us what they are. still holding out hope they dont go the cannibal route

Terminus has meat to share with new arrivals

First episode this season showed Carol handing a plate of meat to Daryl. Must be cannibals

The place seems under-populated (based on the vast map/radio room had only half a dozen people in it) for a place advertising itself as a sanctuary.

Half a dozen people inside, another half a dozen outside at grill, about a dozen on rooftops, and people in the woods. Not to mention they havent showed all of terminus.

Flashback to Rick teaching Carl how to build a snare and catch rabbits. The narrow path that leads to the trap mirrors their attempt to escape Terminus only to be herded by gunshots down a narrow corridor towards the guys waiting in bushes with guns

Trapping people could be for a number of reason. Their safety for one.

People locked in cattle-cars asking to be released

As with last point people could be locked up for turning violent. We saw no aggression until Rick pulled his gun.

Human remains

In a world where people are dying left and right human remains could be anything.

I read those and Kirkman basically said some people are right and some are wrong but he likes reading the theories. With so many people saying they are cannibals I don't doubt that they would go that route to please the masses.

God that whole Beth thing was one of the most badly executed retcons in history. Like obviously the guy living in the funeral home kidnapped her because they made a point of telling us he/she was nearby and what place but a funeral home has cars decked with crosses like that? But lol apparently some hospital pre-zombie decided to have a fleet of cross cars and the cops we're literally going out as far as the rear end end of nowhere to kidnap people.

Yeah, I was thinking "it's gotta be a funeral home", but when they showed it was a hospital I was thinking "I guess some hospitals have a cross in the logo" and it shows that making this show makes sense involves a lot of "filling in the gaps and making excuses" mental gymnaistics

The first episode. Maybe the whole first season, before I figured out how bad the show was but kept watching anyways. Beyond that just a bunch of unintentional comedy via bad acting, writing and SFX.

TBH it's the only show I've ever hate watched. I usually just stop watching something if it sucks but TWD always ropes me back in, by being such a persistent train wreck.

Okay things did happen in the last 10 minutes- this show is almost entirely wheel-spinning and throwaway dialogue at this point, but somehow it's so far up its own rear end that they decided they needed seven extra minutes this week.

By the way, I'm certainly not saying that all Asian male actors look alike, but was anyone distracted by "not-Glenn" seated next to Maggie while they were driving the cart? Why would they cast an Asian actor who has a goatee and similar haircut to Glenn and put him right next to Maggie in a scene? Just a little weird.
