The least believable part of the reboot is that Madison is back to just living a normal life and not out there wrecking communities with her sociopath ways. Also, she's WAAAY too smart to fall for plot armor bad guy's bullshit...he should either be dead by her hand already, or at least be sweating for his position as top dog of his gypsy curse raider crew as she immediately takes it over.

I figured they were just driving around their own grow-lab. Smoke em if you got em.

Also, "Those are some nice crops you have growing there. It would be a shame if weevils ate all of them!"

I'm thinking that while the new FTWD has fresh faces and lots of potential, it also shows some early warning signs that *could* indicate that a lot of the stupidity and idiotic tropes that have made TWD a goddamn wasteland *could* revert this show back to its previously poo poo state, and it looks like others are conjecturing as such too.

And if we want to be pedantic about things, I sorta thought that leading zombies up a ramp into the back of a truck seemed problematic without some sort of chute to guide them up onto it in the first place. Like, wouldn't most just get hung up on the sides instead of walking neatly single file up along it?

Madison: "When young, I killed my own father"

Madison: (destroys functioning settlements; is instrumental in many deaths and ruined lives)

also Madison: "I always look for something good."

Yeah, I thought those flashbacks of Madison were incredibly myopic and :allears: considering all the poo poo we've seen of her. Was that supposed to be Nick's rose-colored glasses idealization of her before he dies? Because isn't Madison mostly responsible for him being an addict in the first place?

We've watched Seasons 1-3, we already know that Madison's response to life giving you lemons is to burn down the lemon tree orchard and salt the earth afterward while your kids stand there mouthing 'wtf mom'.

Edit: My wife mentioned that this was Nick's "look at the flowers" episode, in a way I guess Madison killed him in the end too.

Nah, seasons 1 and 2 are still pretty bad and I hatewatched most of them...although they become unintentionally hilarious when you realize the showrunners are making the group into total villains but you're still supposed to root for them as being the good guys. Madison is straight up Shiva the Destroyer all the way up until the end of S3.

And no, you never learn anything else about the virus. I think the showrunners have gone on record to say "that's not what the series is about" so don't get your hopes up for it...ever. They also generally regard the CDC subplot at the end of TWD S1 as a huge mistake and wish they never went with it at all...

The show died with Nick

I stopped watching at Nick's death and now read this thread to validate my decision in doing so. It sounds like I chose...wisely.
