The Walking Dead – Wrap-Up 3/15/15 – “Spend”

GRR!  ARGH!  SPOILERS!

Daryl vs. a Zombie

Daryl vs. a Zombie

Bookshelf Q. Battler here.  Tonight, The Siberian Yeti allowed me to watch one of my favorite shows, The Walking Dead.

It was the first time my super annoying house guest had ever seen the show.  He liked it.  All of the post-apocalyptic carnage reminded him of his home in Siberia, except the show is slightly nicer.

My observations, in no particular order:

  • Rick’s group members are coming in to their own.  Glenn’s becoming skilled at leading beyond the wall.  Abraham’s taking over as wall construction leader.  Rick’s the new sheriff in town again.  Noah’s trying to become an architect for the community.
  • Which is sad because that beginning scene where Noah expresses an interest in architecture was apparently a rouse to make us not think he’s about to become zombie lunch.  RIP Noah.  We hardly knew ye.
  • Eugene is developing some guts and good for him.  He’s right!  He did get the group to DC, albeit in a morally reprehensible manner.
  • Don’t mess with Carol.
  • Rick Grimes = other man’s wife smoocher = the new Shane?
  • Ironic that Maggie eavesdrops on Father Gabriel warning Deanna about Rick’s group.  A few episodes back, Maggie told Gabriel off, leaving him so depressed he tossed away his collar.  Could a little kindness from Maggie have kept his loyalty?
  • Gabriel’s warning plus Aidan’s death – will that turn Deanna and the community against Rick’s group?

What did you think about tonight’s episode?  Discuss!

The Walking Dead 11/09/14

WARNING:  GRRR!  ARGH!  SPOILERS!! BRAINS!

We didn’t get to see what is going on with Carol at the hospital but a major plot bomb was dropped tonight – we learned that Eugene was in fact, full of crap.  He was a mullet wearing doofus in shorts who claimed to be on a mission to get to Washington, D.C. to use his scientific mind to bring about a cure to the zombie apocalypse.  There was an ongoing question of – is he lying?  Is he for real?  Does he have a zombie cure?  Is he full of crap?

Turns out he was full of crap and ended up getting a severe beat-down by Abraham, so much so that it pretty much looks like he’s dead but we’ll have to find out next week.

We learned more about Abraham’s character – that he lost his family and was about to give it all up when Eugene recruited him for his fake mission (i.e. claiming to be a scientist that needed to get to DC but in reality was just a coward conning people into taking him to DC because he thought that would be the safest location).

It has been a pretty captivating season of The Walking Dead – what thoughts do you have on this zombie-tastic series?
