I quit watching this show at the beginning of last season and it sounds like I haven't missed anything, that being said, did Carl get bit in the arm or something stupid like that so they can cliffhanger it for 6 months about how they can chop his arm off

Bit in the belly. He gonna die. Which is going to change the story moving forward by a loving lot since he's pretty central in the comic books.

I don't think they're going to do the whispers anymore.

Well, negan recovered from a blunt force blow with a brass knick nack to the skull rather quickly. Of course King Make Believe who couldn't walk mere days before after taking a 50 cal round to the leg is in perfect form too.

Dunno why Rick wouldn't just get up and shoot into the house...after all, negan just has a bat. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER" Alright psycho, relax
For that matter "hey, place has been assaulted, don't know if they're gone or not, I'll do the obvious thing and go to my house first. Then I'll call out for people, including a baby who will surely respond"

So long Coral, you dun hosed up. Hopefully Judith bought it too. A zombaby would be awesome

Yeah I'm in Oregon so can't watch this for a couple hours, but am I right in assuming Carl is about as dead as Glenn was when he climbed under the dumpster? Or is he really dead, actor going off the college and quit the show?

Interesting. He'll obviously have a final scene, but what a weird cliffhanger. Or, curious if they pull a Last of Us and he's immune or some poo poo, and they'll focus the story in that direction.

He got bit in the torso, he's dead, no return...unless someone finds a cure in some magical way. "It was love all along". If Coral's back in the second half it's to pose as a body being put in the ground

Like he said he got it from the zombie he killed in the sewer next to them and showed the bite mark. He's a gonner, no come back

The attack wasn't shown. He reveal a zombie bit on his belly. He's going to have a slow melodramatic death for the mid-season return in febraury but he's 100% going to die.

EDIT: Oh man if they do make him immune that would be the great poo poo ever.

They're not smart enough to make a workable way.

They could make it like that awful Van Helsing show. He's immune to the virus, and if a zombie bites him/he bites a zombie, they turn human again.

I'm hoping at some point we time skip and end up with surly teen Judith, exasperated at her dad for always comparing her to Carl. 'At least he was actually my son!'

As he breathes his last breath we see someone break the fourth wall and go "Wait I just checked his contract He's a regular for another season!" Carl immediately wakes up all better and goes "hell yeah let's go gently caress poo poo up"

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Once again, Fear the Walking Dead season 3 tore the "big moment" with Carl being bit a new one with a WAY better take on that kind of scene.

The scene when El Salvidad and his daughter reunite for the first time in the season after assuming the other was dead was just so much better in every way.

I can not wait for some behind the scenes stuff in the years to come, because I have to imagine morale is low on this heap. That reading from Carol was hilarious.

The way gimple talks about it makes me suspicious as gently caress. Like just say Carl got bit by a zombie and will DIE. He is being all coy and vague. I don't know how they would write their way out of this but it reminds me totally of the dumpster fiasco.

It'll be a fake-out. Siddiq bit him as some long con plan to lull Negan into a sense of security, assuming Rick will be too rattled to think properly due to his son's death.

I never got this way of going about things. I'd rather them just lie about it that way you can have an actual surprise, not a huge break of "hmmmm what do YOU think we did?"

That be one way to do it. I would also just prefer the show spoke for itself without needing an hour talk show afterwards.

It turns out like heterochromia makes you an asymptomatic carrier of the rage virus in 28 Days/Weeks universe, all it takes in TWD canon is to have one of your eyes shot out.

Also did Carl get bitten by a zombie in the sewers or was it during that struggle where he helped traps guy kill the walkers in the previous episode? Didn't hear them pointing anything out in the last minute.

Pretty sure he was bitten during the struggle in the forest a few episodes back. You can kinda see it happen around the 1:27 mark in this video. And he looks down at his abdomen after he stands up.

Yeah that's what I thought too, it'd take time for him to progress to how weakened he was this episode.

That was surprisingly subtle and well done for how the show's been the last few years.
