Hell yeah I’d watch Shane and Rick cruisin’ around crushin’ some burgs.

Then Rick has to move into Shane’s bachelor pad because Lori kicked him out.

The season finale is a fight to the death... in a game of Super Smash Bros.

It’s kinda a joke / not really a joke. When Kirkman pitched TWD he felt they wouldn’t go for just a zombie story or that he could really stretch it for however many issues he wanted so he said that there would be a twist around issue 50 or 75 through that revealed aliens were behind it all. So when the book became a hit and he hit that issue he threw a joke epilogue that had aliens show up.

We're sealing the tunnel!
TWD, the final season.

Rick wakes up from a coma, the entire Walking Dead was just a coma dream.
Rick goes home with Lori and Coral, Shane comes to visit. Rick realizes that the person he's become on the inside is no longer the Rick that his friends and family know. He simply cannot cope with going back to the way things were. Rick sees walkers everywhere, only a flash here and there, then they're gone...at first. Then more often, and for longer durations. Soon, almost everyone looks like a walker to Rick. Rick babbles incessantly about the dead, and someone named Neegan and his lover Michonne. He's constantly trying to get Coral and Lori to travel with him to Alexandria. Rick depletes their savings account stockpiling food and weapons.
Lori and Carl can't take it anymore. They leave him. Lori, and Shane get together. Coral starts calling Shane "dad".
Rick now lives alone in a basement, surrounded by stacks of ammunition and MRE's. Rick slips into a deep paranoid depression. He has to go back, back to a world where he mattered, where no matter how bad things got, they made a kind of sense to him.
One day, Lori is driving on a flat, straight bit of road, and inexplicably crashes. She is killed. (Seriously, learn to loving drive Lori, goddamn.)
Rick completely loses his mind with and commits suicide with the same Colt Python he had at his side throughout his coma dream.
Coral goes to college with the life insurance policy that Shane took out on Lori, and meets Glenn, Maggie, and Enid. They hang out, get high and play Super Smash Bros. Strangely, all of Coral's professors are characters from Rick's coma dream. It's a bit surreal for the viewer, but it's never explained. Daryl and Merle are the foul mouthed groundskeepers. Coral looses his eye in a tragic beer pong accident. Eventually, Coral and Enid get married. Shane gets drunk during the reception and embarrasses everyone. Glenn becomes a small town pharmacist, and Maggie pops out little British/Asian babies like there's no tomorrow.
One day, they decide to take a road trip so Coral can visit the final resting place of his estranged father. As they are driving down the road, a bright streak comes out of nowhere, then their car explodes. The camera pans back for what seems like forever until it reaches a shadowy figure, kneeling on the edge of a cliff overlooking the smoldering wreckage of the car, holding a smoking RPG. He lights a cigar.

Skip to 20 years in the future. Maggie had her baby and he's grown up. Turns out Enid and Coral got busy once and she had a baby too that grew up. One day the two grown sons come across a teenage girl, and try to convince her to join their town. The girl says she can't because she's done too much bad stuff. Turns out Negan is with the two young men too and gives her a talk about how they have all done bad stuff, "Hell I killed that guys daddy, and now I'm the leader! We can all change!" The girl goes with them. In the woods in the distance you see a few guys and their female leader. The leader says "this is going to be easier than I thought." It's the Whisperers. Madison is the leader. There's no flashback to explain how all this came to be, this is just the timeline now.
Coral and Glenn's sons are played by Coral and Glenn's actors.

Or the Jericho Season 1 Ending, where they;re gearing up for another ALL OUT WAR with some other petty faction, and tanks and real soldiers from the actual govt come in and roll over them all. :allears:

Having a govt remnant that is good (or evil) pop up is one of my favorite ost apoc sci-fi tropes, and it's used to great effect in things like The 100, Planet if the Apes, Falling Skies, and others. But like the Origins of the Virus or The Cure, I'm pretty sure that is a larger story that Kirkman and Gimple have no interest in telling.

Like that episode of TSCC that was sponsored by Dodge Ram Trucks and they had an extended, 4-minute scene where they loaded all of their guns into the extra storage compartments on the new model-year Ram.

"Will all of those M-16s fit?"
"They sure will, Sarah, the new Ram 2500 can has enough storage capacity for a platoon's worth of M-16s..." :smug:

it's really disappointing that this show (the main one) poo poo the bed as hard as it did in the last couple seasons

i really like the show up to the negan cliffhanger episode. including the farm season. it was a fine sociological/anthropological tale of how a random clutch of damaged survivors from a collapsed civilization became a small but militarily fearsome semi-nomadic tribe, built from the combination of two clans and hangers-on. then it became the story of how that tribe merged with a settled, wealthy, but militarily feeble society and usurped control of it. with the grimes-green tribe's entrance into alexandria they passed out of an anthropological story into a historical story, the annals of this walled city called alexandria, the struggles between its autochthonous population and the imported, distrusted but militarily essential nomads, the first contacts and conflicts with other peoples of that society's new history. it's all very mesopotamian, which is my thing, and so it aggrieves me tremendously that the writing, effects, and general quality of the series have swirled down the drain, getting worse each year for several years. this was the first season i never bothered to finish, and i doubt i'll watch another, and damned if that didn't happen right at the point where the evolution of alexandria as a historical subject should be at its most interesting to me

Lauren Cohan has allegedly signed up for another season, meaning they've probably changed the story to change her into enough of a villain to be able to kill off Rick while dying in a stalemate for no reason now. IMO, the show has taken its "change the script to work around the actors" stuff like how they temporarily wrote out Heath too far and they should've stuck to a preplanned script and recasted anyone who wanted out, but issues caused by that are the least of the show's problems since they killed off Carl for shock value. I just wanted to see Carl go Rambo on a bunch of bullies with a shovel and put them in the hospital because it was a good character moment

That would... own if I had any faith in them having the ability to write a good story out of it. Negan’s story post war is really, really good and he’s got some really good moments to mine (a few have been used already, though). Daryl can possibly be cool if they give him something other than look angry and not say anything.

I think you just pitched Season 10. See, it's a throwback to 9 so they can just re-use a lot of the footage, and then tell a different story branching out from that. Probably have to CGI a few characters in and out, but it shouldn't be too hard.
This show could go on forever.

They are calling her an "interim host" while the AMC "investigation" of Hardwick continues. She herself says:

quote:

"I will say this once. I am filling in for a friend, which I have done before. I am not jockeying for a job," Brown wrote of the Comic-Con news on Twitter. "I have enough of my own. It is my prayer that God's will is done in the midst of this process & that everyone is okay. My character is known & sound. Nothing has changed."

I think they should just make a decision. What is there to investigate? It boils down to his word vs hers about things done in their private life. On the one hand it was a past relationship--he's moved on and married someone else and had a kid. His current wife denies he acts like this and he says it didn't happen that way, but that it was a bad relationship. On the other hand, she's accusing him of being a horrific abuser and somewhat of a rapist. Unless either side can produce text messages, emails, secretly bugged conversations, or witnesses that are more than "yeah he/she is my friend and I can vouch he/she told me about these things", then AMC would have to publicly choose who to believe.

If they just drop Hardwick and move on, they might lose some fans who are sympathetic to him, but the very act of them doing so will cause more people to believe he's guilty and be less sympathetic anyway. If they bring him back, then the optics will be horrible and the backlash will be huge. There will always be some people who will believe he absolutely did these things and will loudly and vocally oppose him being on the show or pretty much ever working in media again. It's a controversy and companies don't like controversies like this. Maybe your stance is we should always believe the women, because they are always telling the truth and there is an unfair bias against them, and that even in the very few times they aren't it creates a worse situation to not believe them for future abusees. Maybe your stance is #METOO is going too far and sometimes men can be innocent and Hardwick is getting railroaded. But in the end the safest, most risk averse course for a media company dealing with a personality would be to sever. Hardwick should hardly be shocked--if you live your life publicly as a media personality, celebrity or actor you can lose your job for poo poo you do outside of work that makes you look bad.

The longer AMC drags this out the worse it will be, unless they are just buying time to find a new host/giving YNB a tryout. But it seems she believes Hardwick and doesn't want the gig permanently. She's a great actress and a huge fan and a great part of the show. She and the article talk about her filling in as a host before, though I can't recall that. I would rather her though, than some twee unknown host type. Some of the semi-pros these networks get to host aftershows/podcasts are just dire.

Protesters camped outside the Portland headquarters of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement say federal agents have been broadcasting a chipper pop song from the parking garage for more than 10 hours.

As temperatures in Portland reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit this afternoon, the same song has played on repeat all day: "Easy Street," a banjo-and-horn driven ditty with maddeningly happy lyrics. (Protesters recorded a snippet for Twitter, with the complaint: "ICE has been playing children's music for 5 hours now.")

In fact, the song's only pop-culture fame comes from being used as musical torture for a prisoner in a 2016 episode of the zombie-apocalypse TV series The Walking Dead.
