The Walking Dead.

I was saying, "Dude, let her go. You've been through enough, let her do her own thing and go home!"

SPOILER ALERT for next time- Turn back now if you don't want to know.

John Mellencamp said it best- "When the walls....come tumbling down."

Walkers walkers everywhere, biting at your underwear.

Way back when during the time Rick was in Atlanta, Rick recalls how he and Glenn got past a sea of walkers trying to get a truck to get the heck outta there...been done a couple of times now. Would it work again?

Carol fights with everyone it seems. She goes all Ronda Rousey with Morgan over a snared Wolf. Wolf, ironically, benefits the most. Well, maybe. Of course, Denise gets scared, Tara gets all pissed about the Dick Wolf, but what are you going to do?

And Eugene...all he can say is ...."help?" over the radio? What a wuss.

Oh, and someone important gets chomped on.

The part I liked was when Tara flipped Rick the bird after he bitched her out.

Can't wait for next episode, is it going to be the season finale?

That's the part I'm not looking forward to...

They keep advertising online episodes of Fear the Walking Dead during commercial breaks. Has anyone looked online to see if they're simply replaying what they already showed on TV or if they're new episodes? That could be an answer to my "Walking Dead Fix" during these next few months...

[el ess A]

Online they're "reruns" and sometimes they play "webisodes" of stuff, and extra material, here and there to keep people's interest.

AMC knows it's tough to compete for the younger male market for TWD during football playoff season plus they don't shoot a typical 24-26 episode season as it is. So they strategically set it up the way they do so to get them into late spring for a season ender. They get that people DVR stuff, but what they base their ad rates on is "live" Dead viewership numbers (ironic?).

And luckily, they're trying to fill that space in the summer with "Fear TWD".

Although there's no one overtly discussing "stuff and thangs" considering the longevity of the show, there will likely be an end to it somewhere. Because to date, right now, Negan is the baddest baddie to be up against Rick. Once his story arc shows up on the show, what's next? Is it downhill from there?

******MORE (potential) SPOILER TALK TO FOLLOW*****************************:

Here's my take on why I think Daryl might meet Negan's Lucille instead of Glenn (which we do not find out who for sure until next season). Dwight (hasn't been named that on the show yet, but everything points to him as such) has a crossbow in the comics. He now has Daryl's. Plus, Norman Reedus (Daryl) has landed a new motorcycle show (6 episodes) about riding across America.

If he's starting to branch out, then he might be seeking to leave TWD. The motorcycle shows upcoming have already been filmed, so it shouldn't affect his TWD status in the near-term. If he does get more offers and other projects, doubt he'd be able to get them in without getting "split up/lost" on the show for a while or taking the easy way off the show. Would be tough to see him go, but that's show business. They have strayed away from the comic book direct conversion activities before...

There was a scene from 2 show's ago episode that was to be done at the end of the episode (but never aired) to show Dwight being beat up and allegedly tied to a chair. It shows from the POV of a perp to have an iron in a fire getting it hot and the camera goes to black as it nears his face, but all you hear is screams on the black screen to end the episode.

Dwight from the comics has the hot iron thing done to him due to him not being 100% subserviant to Negan. Negan rules by fear and intimidation to keep things in line and picks out women and other men's wives to be in his harem (although he dispises rape). He's a dictator.

Dwight never fully pledges allegiance to Negan in his heart, and actually ends up helping Rick take him down later. That's why we saw his little troupe on the run and the rest of the gang trying to find him as he's trying to leave the Saviors. That's likely why he did not seem interested to go back with Daryl, as he knew it was just a matter of time before the Saviors would find him in a nearby community. He and Honey were going to get as far away as possible.

Will the TV show follow this path? I dunno yet, but if you think the Termites from Terminus were brutal, wait until you see what the Saviors can do for non-compliance with the rules.

One more thing- I thought it might be too difficult due to makeup, but in the next half, Carl's going to be joining the Governor in keeping an "eye out".

Wow, thanks for the insight. I need my Walking Dead fix in-between episodes.

[Taco Time]

Good info. I enjoy Fear the Walking Dead. I hope it does well and stays on for a while. I like that it fills the void we have between season halves of The Walking Dead.

Coral should have lost an eye in season 2 or 3 when he had his little b*tch attitude. HAHA.

Rant....

I've never understood why these folks refuse to build some Mad Max style diesel vehicles to bug in and out. I guess Rick isn't a critical thinker; "hey sure, put all our eggs in one basket because these walls work so effing well".

I've seen military vehicles and diesel trucks, yet they cruise around in the Brady Bunch RV and a Ford Taurus. Maybe next week they could pick a Smart car or Prius.

I am looking forward to Carol going off over the Wolf prisoner though!

The car Sasha and Abraham were driving in front of the zombie herd was known on set affectionately as the "Astoundingly Ugly Car."

I guess you can't be too picky in the apocalypse on what car you drive. If it runs, it's a bonus.

********more SPOILER stuff*************

Did anyone see the run-in portion with the Saviors that was first shown at the first break in "Into the Badlands"?



If you thought the mid-season cliff hanger wasn't epic, just wait until the 2nd half opener!! Major stuff goes down.

Abraham reprises his "coming to Alexandria" question of "Who's Deanna?" when the biker says their stuff belongs to Negan. I think you can guess what question comes out of his mouth.

Daryl blows some sh*t up. Big time.

Some of the walker-guts-wearing gang that got out of the house don't make it. And Carl never "sees" it coming...Rick has a cure for Jessie's sudden kung fu grip...

Carol and the Dick Wolf cross paths. And Morgan and the Dick Wolf meet up YET AGAIN!!! And again Morgan thwacks him with his stick.

Rick becomes an impromptu community organizer, of sorts.

Maggie needs saving and Glenn and Enid have a great plan to save her.

It will rock!
