The Walking Dead (S5) - 2nd half of season thread ***Spoilers***

I liked seeing Beth back. Actually, Emily was still "there" as they shot this show before her departure (from being killed). And that really was Emily singing by the way. She released an EP or something pretty recently...

I didn't like the episode. I don't have a problem with him dying. But with how they set it all up.

If I am Rick (in charge) and I'm taking the kid to his gated community and I split up the group just in case like they did. Tyreese is one of the last people I want to take if I think there might be trouble. I would rather leave him taking care of Judith which he has done in the past. Daryl and Carol would be people I would want to take with me . Along with Michonne who did go. Abraham, Sasha, and Maggie would be good choices too. I also keep Glenn and Maggie together. To me it's just odd to split up couples.

Once there I don't leave anyone, let alone Tyreese with a kid who has little or not very good experience with the dead. Especially on how to clear out a house. And knowing the kid is emotional and is not thinking clearly. Tyreese once there at the house should have been directing the kid to help him clear the house or stayed in the main room watching the hall. Tyreese's actions were just dumb and reminds me of horror films where the kids who are getting killed do the dumbest things. Seen the Geico commercial?

I would prefer that they ran into a situation where there just were too many or if he had to sacrifice himself to save others or Judith. Or to lose him and others in a very bloody encounter with Negan although it appears that may take awhile.

I get where you're coming from. I actually think you've made some great points.

I think the point of Ty going was simply he wanted to be there for the kid. I also don't think he wanted to stay behind and deal with the loss of Beth. I think those are the two major factors in him going along for this one.

As for clearing out the house the way it went down I do believe it was done perfectly for what they were wanting to portray with Ty and his death. He's a good guy whose just tired of all of this. He doesn't want to be part of any of it anymore and it's beat him down and tired him out. Due to those facts it made him sloppy and allowed him to get himself killed because he's just tired of all of it. I think it went down like they needed it to for what they were doing with his character.

Merle was much more of a bad boy than Daryl

Totally different.

He was also a complete ******* which is why the women like the Daryl character more than a racist, idiot, Merle.

Which, btw, I thought his character on the show was great and well done. So don't take that as a knock on him or the way they had his character.
 
A slow episode but not bad overall. It was good to have the entire group together.
 
lol at Talking Dead...

"Relax. No actual dogs were harmed
in the making of this show..... about people..... eating people." :laugh:
 
It felt like a season 2 episode for me.

The entire barn sequence was kinda goofy. First off why did the mini-herd suddenly go for the barn? The undead are attracted by noise and I get that, but it was raining hard and it was windy which would have drown out much of the noise coming from in the barn. And then you have the tornado which uprooted trees just feet away but didn't touch the rickety looking barn.

Yeah that was very odd. I initially thought it was a nightmare that Maggie was having, until they went outside and all the destruction and walkers out there.

Are we to believe that between the moment the scene cut to commercial and then returned that the dead stopped forcing open the barn door and were all swept away by the storm itself?

LOL!

Yeah, I guess we are!
 
Not a bad episode. Slow but that's okay, I don't mind slow every now and then. I liked the barn scene in the way that the group all banded together as one family, which is what they are trying to portray. I'm curious to who the new guy is.

But yeah they wouldn't have known they were in the barn. And they would have never have stopped trying to force themselves in the barn once they were there. The barn wouldn't have lasted through whatever storm that was since it was uprooting trees, and we are supposed to believe that it just happened to take out all of the walkers. But I guess we are supposed to believe it was divine intervention, since it restrengthened the pastor's faith?

They should change the title to The Moping Dead, since they sit around moping about things that happened acting all depressed all the time.

LOL!

Yeah, there is a lot of that.

I understand the dreariness of the situation, but a wee bit of humor/silliness would go a long way. For example last season, Rick & Carl in the house, and Michonne shows up and knocks on the front door and Rick has the "It's for you" line. Priceless.

For as dark and dreary as the show is the graphic novel is even darker and deeper. TV Rick's a laugh a minute compared to the graphic novel Rick.

Got that right.

But what is to come, from the graphic novel? Holy cow. This will be AWESOME.

I watched the TV show before I ever picked up the graphic novel.

I expected the Rick in the GN to have the same personality as the TV Rick, but I found out very quickly there were very big differences... it kind of turned me off the GN a little.

In one way the GN Rick was the better preset for what would happen between Lori and Shane... Her and Rick were having some marital issues and once it seemed that Rick was dead, so much the better for hanky-panky.

Where the TV Rick, seemed like he was a pretty good guy prior to the zombie apocalypse... And it made it a little more difficult to believe that Lori and he were having issues.
 
i had no problem with the tornado...its happened tons in real life where trees are destroyed and 2 feet away something goes untouched.

i dont know that the herd knew they were in there, but seemed to react to daryl's movement/noise. they could have been running from the storm/seeking shelter.
 
The limp-wristed writers are really going out of their way to wussify Daryl.
