And what happened to Dale? There was also talk that season about not giving the people who didn’t know anything about guns guns to carry around and use poorly. Which is perfectly reasonable, especially when they then trained those people up.
There’s nothing wrong with having some characters have wrong opinions. Conflict is the source of all drama, if all the characters land on the same side of every issue you wind up with STNG.
The weakling white guy was the one with the beard, not “Hispanic head of household”.
Yes, Kirkman has stated many times there will never be an explanation or cure for the cause of why the dead rise and eat the living.
Exactly. People look at single character’s position and see that as the position of the show, ignoring the fact that other characters disagree and how the situation plays out. The end result is really where you see the opinion of the show, and the end result in TWD is that guns are a needed tool.
I’m reading the forums at previouslytv and spoiling myself before watching tonight.
Am I getting my wish-—the place is going to get overrun next week?
I’m just about done with it too. I will give it one more episode and promise not to watch it for the rest of the year.
“The weakling white guy was the one with the beard, not “Hispanic head of household”.”
My mistake. I thought you were talking about Travis who the barber called “weak”.
Samoan, Maori = Not white, which was the point.
“Have you ever watched any zombie fiction before?”
Tons of it and its a cliche to make the military part of the problem, not the solution. Its hacky and not required.
“Also, conservatives state that govt is the problem not the solution unless it is the govt run military? I don’t see an anti-conservative message at all. That does not mean the writing is any good and I don’t like any of the characters much at all but I don’t detect a political bent.”
Of course you dont. Such a thing wouldn’t fit the son being a black lives matter type, or the slut daughter bashing capitalism during the Monopoly game, or the father being anti-gun... etc.
You mean the two characters that come off the stupidest? Or the non white father being made fun of and called weak for not embracing the need for having a gun for self protection?
I think you want to watch a movie where John Wayne fights zombies. That would be an awesome movie - don't get me wrong - but I don't think you do well with subtlety.
“The house trashing scene was better when they did it in Zombieland...”
Perhaps Im reading too much into it but they seemed to resent the people being richer than they were, so out of resentment of the 1% types they felt justified in destroying their property. Its not like in Zombieland where 99% of the people are dead. They dont know if that family is coming back.
The barber is definitely a survivor.
If they had sense, they’d be taking food, water, tools from that house to use in their own.
I also tried and it didn’t work for me. I’ll watch it no more.
The barber was a School Of the America’s graduate?
Then he knows how to take care of business.
FTWD only has 6 episodes for its first season, so next Sunday is the last episode for season 1.
9) If the military leaves in a vehicle to head into a fire fight with Zombies and they leave some of their weapons in the truck with you, take them.
He needs to get some intel from the corporal as to where the nearest armory is before the corporal becomes of no further value to them.
But then why torture the poor bastard anymore when you can use him to lead you to the armory or any other location where he may have additional intelligence that he may not have shared with you because you didn’t know to ask him about it...
Exactly...
I'll take anything I can get, LOL.
“1) Do not kidnap and torture your potential future son-in-law”
...but if you don’t, you won’t get the info needed to keep the characters/series going past the season finale ;-)
I was actually ok with it. Finally seemed like someone (Daniel) was DOING, instead of just reacting and accepting.
And at least they didn’t waterboard the guy...
