He told him "I am smarter than you"

he might wake up dumber

rursusferre 11-11-2014 08:24 AM

you forget, he said "STILL smarter than you"

Yooxra 11-11-2014 10:08 AM

Yeah I laughed at the image and the smarter than you comments. You could see that outcome after he said i'm not a scientist. Kinda felt bad for Eugene even after the bullshit story. The way him and Abraham met, he needed him to survive, Abraham was pretty much going to kill himself, he had to think of something quick. With how Eugene is he knew that Abraham was probably going to kill him if he told him at any point. Abraham's temper didn't make it easier, Eugene was scared of him. With them getting closer he just knew he had no choice. Look what he got with Glenn on Abraham's back trying to stop him.

So much for that glimmer of hope his bullshit story was giving the group. Rick all happy yay let's go to Washington to save the world. The group all perking up.

rursusferre 11-16-2014 07:55 PM

Good episode. Glad to see 2 episodes left, thought it was just one.

Gogan 11-24-2014 09:58 PM

Such stupidity displayed at the end of that last episode.

Fusa 11-25-2014 05:42 AM

yes, that bitch is dumb

McGrupp 11-25-2014 06:29 PM

Speaking of women, did you see Rosita on Talking Dead afterwards?!?! HOLY MOLY

Yep

Fusa 11-26-2014 05:32 AM

Abraham beats it up

Gogan 12-01-2014 10:24 PM

Wow. I guess I should be used to shocking endings by now, but I did not see that coming.

McGrupp 12-02-2014 06:01 AM

No doubt. The put the whole first half emphasis on those 2 and bam.

Yooxra 12-02-2014 08:20 AM

Seemed like Beth would be around longer after being reintroduced this season after the kidnapping. With all that was going on in the hospital it seemed less likely. It even seemed like Beth and Dawn would of had an understanding at least, specially after Beth helped Dawn at the elevator. Once Beth took the scissor you knew something was gonna happen and it wasn't gonna be good. Even when Dawn shot her as a defensive reaction, Dawn didn't seem to want to kill her, she liked her and even respected her, at least it seemed so. Dawn knew she was dead as soon as she did. She didn't want to give up her power it seemed, she proved that by killing the cop. I wonder why she went all out to keep Noah, specially when she knew Beth and Noah were close. What Dawn did with Noah, no way Beth would let that go. I wonder why Dawn wanted Noah so bad, besides being her ward, she didn't seem that attached to him. If anything she seemed to be forming a bond on some level with Beth.

Yooxra 12-02-2014 08:52 AM

What i'm wondering about is Morgan and his motives. His eyes lit up when he saw Rick's name on the map to Washington. Will the change of plans with Eugene and what happened at the hospital throw the scent off of Morgan tracking Rick. Will Morgan head to Washington now, while the group heads somewhere else cause they are obviously not going to Washington now. The way Morgan's eye lit up when he saw Rick's name made me wonder if he was even tracking Rick at all. Little to go on since they show him for 30 seconds in the start of the season then 30 seconds at the middle. He seemed to be trying to find Rick cause Morgan went to all the places Rick was, who knows. Really seemed like Morgan's story was done cause he wasn't gonna be the same after his son died. What made him change.

Gogan 12-02-2014 11:14 AM

I'm guessing Dawn insisted on getting Noah back simply as a show of dominance. Like the other cops said about her, she needs to maintain the appearance that she's in control. Anything less would be seen as weakness and undermine her authority. It's bullshit of course, but that's how she thinks/operates. She was probably also bitter about losing Beth, whom she had grown close to, and kind of lashed out at her by taking the one thing she knew Beth cared about.

As for Morgan, I assumed he was tracking Rick all this time. The fact that he seemed surprised when he saw Rick's name on the map goes against that thinking though. I have no idea what he's up to now.

Anyone else watch Talking Dead afterwards? They had the actress that plays Beth on, and she broke down several times throughout the show. She seemed really sad that she wouldn't get to be with all her friends from the show anymore. Gotta be rough to get killed off and be told "you can't play with us anymore." Was also shocking to hear the actress who plays Maggie talk -- she has an English accent! For a Brit, she sure does a good southern accent on the show.

Well said. I agree with all of it.

Same boat.

I usually don't watch it. Maybe I should, the actors talk about the characters they play and what they think about what's going on. Does give you little more closure. Sad about Beth breaking down on the show. I wanted to see her character progress some more. She really seemed liked the character would turn into a not taking no crap from anyone with evil intentions type. Thinking about it really seems like the group is sort of a righteous crusade. I mean I wouldn't go that far, but they are doing some extra cleaning up since the Governor.

I think it makes them stronger as a group. Might also make them weaker if they try to do to much. Beth is a good example of knowing when to fold.

Enjoying this season, look forward to next years return.

Actually most Brits can typically do a good southern accent. Incidentally the southern draw we know of today came from British Royalty. I saw a show about that a while back of how the southern accent came to be, and it was the British influence, especially upper class.

Gogan 12-02-2014 01:48 PM

Interesting. And ironic.

Fusa 12-02-2014 03:55 PM

British Royalty also influenced nakedness in the south

90 minute season finale on March 29. Really enjoying this season so far.

Gogan 03-16-2015 11:17 PM

Brutal episode last night. And another one unexpectedly bites the dust.

I wonder if this new mayor's plan isn't to basically get rid of her own weak people and have Rick's group effectively take over. Basically her own method of self-preservation. I guess she'd have to prove herself useful Rick's group somehow. She seems smart and cunning though, so she has to have an end-game in mind.

Wonder how she'll react next episode when she finds out what happened during Glenn's supply run.

Yooxra 03-17-2015 10:57 AM

I think she is worried that seeing how strong Ricks group is/was since arriving that she is now losing her power. The construction leader saying how Abraham is a great leader and should be in charge of that operation. Maggie vouching.

I think Rick is going to not allow his group members to die off cause of the weak group not meshing well with his, getting his people killed. It's gonna come head to head. I think Rick is going to confront that girl he likes husband and it's gonna get ugly and that will probably make the groups go at each other.

Or

That was her son and all right?

I like how they showed off the cowards of the show. Eugene stepping up and protecting his friend and helping the group out instead of running. You know he thought about running. Then we have the priest. Oh boy, this guy has some nerve judging the group after what he did to his flock. Then telling her about the bad things that the group did to survive.

Looking forward to this.

Fusa 03-17-2015 02:35 PM

TBH I thought that was two unexpected deaths sure 100% Noah but it should not have been her son to die should have been the other random( then her son would have been the cause of noahs death and even more a rift between the two).

I like that Eugine is growing a pair over the episodes, I thought he would have died long ago ( some time around terminus)

that Priest's speech to that woman was very self-reflective about "satan disguises himself as a servant of light, false apostles of righteousness, undeserving" etc etc "tearing apart everything they have built" . Not to mention he seen a gift from Rosemary and tore the shit out of that bible. RIP bible

Abraham goes haxsawjimdougan (motherdick) on the pack of zombies probably the best we have seen of him ( HE IS BACK READY TO F A's)

McGrupp 03-23-2015 10:41 AM

Lots of drama this week! I was left under the assumption that the show WON'T be following the comics on how Alexandria's arc progresses. Guess we'll see in the finale, can't wait!

Fusa 03-23-2015 12:49 PM

LLLLLLALWWWLLLLLLLL did you see that ending WOW that was a good one.

rursusferre 03-29-2015 08:36 PM

Wow. This was a good season.

Yooxra 03-30-2015 10:16 PM

Good last episode. I knew Rick was going to kill that guy sooner or later, just sux she had to lose her husband to convince her Rick was right.

Morgan scenes always leave me pondering. Morgan said all life was precious. When he let the two guys live that tried to kill him in the back seat I was wondering why he honked the horn? Also when Morgan arrived just in time to see Rick kill that guy, I was wondering what Morgan thought about that, if he does believe all life is precious now.

The wolves saw the pictures of the town that Daryl and Aaron left behind getting out of there in a hurry. The ones they use to recruit people. So S6 is wolves.

Enjoyed the season.

Fear the walking dead this summer. Starts off around the sametime the first season of The walking dead started I assume. In a different area with different cast. Signed up for two seasons. Six episodes for season one.

McGrupp 03-31-2015 05:10 AM

They had Morgan on Talking Dead afterwards and someone specifically asked about why he honked the horn (I presumed to it was to attract walkers). He explained that his intentions were good, that he wanted to see if any one/thing was around before he set back off in search of Rick.

They never elaborated on how Morgan is going to perceive what he just saw upon entering the walls. I'm assuming he'll at least give Rick a chance to explain himself..

All in all it was a great season. Some people/media outlets out there are complaining about the finale being lackluster, but when you wrap the season up as whole, it was pretty wicked.

Yooxra 03-31-2015 12:34 PM

I think it could of been a 2 hour episode. When I was watching the final 10 minutes I was thinking to myself a lot of stuff is still going on to finish in only 10 minutes left.

rursusferre 03-31-2015 01:08 PM

Yeah grupp. I read that he said he was "making sure the coast was clear". I do think they didn't do a great job of conveying that. I kind of have a feeling we are going to find out the wolves are the 3 people that Alexandria kicked out a long time ago. I think this season was great overall. I don't think the show has to be non-stop action to be good, and I think this season had a good mix of drama, suspense and action. Also, Abraham.

rursusferre 03-31-2015 01:09 PM

Yoox, apparently the new show is going to be about the time period when rick was in a coma.

Gogan 03-31-2015 09:49 PM

Just watched the finale tonight. Great ending to a fantastic season -- easily one of the best in the series, imho. I'm kinda glad they didn't end it with some dramatic cliffhanger or a shocking new death (although I was seriously worried about Glen there for a while). Like you said Rufus, they don't need to do that every episode or every finale. Well, I guess they did kill off the old nice guy and that was shocking, but he wasn't exactly a core character. I looooved the wife's reaction ("Rick... do it") and Rick not even hesitating. So much win.

The wolves being the 3 castoffs from Alexandria is a good prediction -- I didn't even think about that. It'll be interesting to see what they can do with that band to make them worthy adversaries for Alexandria.

Gronthor 04-01-2015 11:38 AM

He was nice but he was the city's engineer. Now they are down a surgeon and the designer of the defense/power. Quite a loss to the community. Next season will probably be pretty rough on the town.

rursusferre 04-01-2015 06:09 PM

Yeah gronthor, I agree. Those are two highly specialized, invaluable skills that i think rick kind of considers "dead" but, really, you need that shit. We'll see. I agree Asano, all I kept thinking with glenn "they didn't show his body" but the episode kept getting closer and closer to ending and I was like "oh shit, they did it". Unfortunately for Gabriel, Morgan showing up re-begins Walking Dead's "Black Highlander" problem.
