The Walking Dead - season 6 discussion thread

First episode was great! Go!

 

[pontifex]

Eugene had some great lines this episode. Massive amount of walkers (1000 according to talking dead)

After watching TWD and thinking about FTWD last week... damn. Can't get over point-blank, full-auto, in the face and no damage from last week.

 

[AdamK47]

T'was good.

Think I got an idea from the preview during Talking Dead.

I'm guessing "The Wolves"...or whatever that other group is that was setting traps. Wasn't some girl sneaking out last season?

Which was? (for those of us who haven't seen Talking Dead yet)

There was a clip showing Enid (?), the girl going out on her own. She got into the driver's seat of a car and wrote JSS on the window -- moisture + finger writing.

Maybe it was a different horn though. It sounded more like a blow horn than a car.

Tonight's episode was pretty entertaining. Can't wait til next week.

Watching the first episode of this season made me appreciate just how much better TWD is than FTWD. It's not even close, FTWD is complete garbage that mostly leaves me wishing the zombies would just put us (the audience) out of our misery by offing the idiot leading characters. TWD on the other hand is well done and leaves you wanting to know and see more after each episode.

Did the wolves sound the horn, or was it someone else? The wolves have already shown they are nasty, setting traps (like the one with the trucks full of walkers), so it would definitely be something they'd do, but I don't see how releasing thousands of walkers wouldn't also impact them. Now they'd have to deal with thousands of them roaming around the area.

Good episode IMO, you can clearly see trouble start to brew between Rick and Morgan. They respect each other as men and survivors, but they are in very different places.

They showed the girl covered in blood in what looked like a semi-truck at the end, so my guess is she was setup as walker bait with the horn. Either the son of the guy Rick shot did it, or the Wolves did it. Initially I thought it would be the kid getting revenge (#1, Rick killed his dad, and #2, they show his face watching in the background when Carl holds hands with the girl on the roof), but the Wolves would make sense too, because that would segway into introducing them to the group.

That was a good episode. Soooooooo much better than FTWD! Opening shots in the quarry were amazing. Their compositing skills have gotten a lot better too...the last shot of all of the zombies headed to Alexandria looked pretty legit. I remember in the preview, it showed the zombies overtaking Alexandria, so that explains it. The question is, what are they going to do about it - retake the town, or use it as a plot device to move the characters to a new location?

I didn't like the black & white at all.

I fully respect the hair game :biggrin:

I hope Morgan doesn't die now that he's the moral compass. They always kill off the moral compasses in this show (Dale, Hershel, etc.)

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I missed most of last season and stupid FiOS is pushing DVR's so much its not on free in demand.
Where were the luring the zombies to?

I think they goal was just...away. They migrate in herds, so they'd just keep walking forever. What I don't understand is:

1. Why not keep them in the quarry? Rick said something about them not being able to effectively contain them long-term, but I didn't understand the concept. Just pop in every few months & set a bonfire to kill them off...

2. If multiple roads lead to Alexandria, why not block them off with semi-trucks & RV's? It's harder for a herd to make their way through the trees, so they could at least block off the main entry roads.

But, sometimes you can't overthink this show because then things would actually work out fine :biggrin:

I'm really enjoying the role reversals that have transpired over the last couple of seasons, eg, Rick being borderline sociopathic and Daryl/Morgan being the moral compass.

Hershel I liked but after Dale ate the big one I had a two-week long party. Not really, but that sounds like a good idea. I'm so glad "Wyatt Earp" Andrea got smoked too. Ugh, her and Dale were horrible.

Andrea was the worst part of everything. Sooooo boring of a character.

She just came off as really "fakey" to me. I guess that's the best I can put it. Hard to explain, but I didn't feel that way towards ANY of the other characters from the show, best I can recall.

The one semi fell off the edge of the quarry which would have an exit from the quarry pouring right into alexandria.

That's why they had to get them all out the other direction as fast as possible before that happened. The truck finally fell off the edge as they were preparing for their dry run so they had to do their cattle drive right then and there.

That part didn't really bother me at all.

Oh, okay. So the truck was basically an entrance barricade & the zombies knocked it down while they were watching.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Did I hear a tribute to this (and possibly the Stern show) right after the truck fell off the ledge?
