The Fishing Dead

[coryn h. fishowl]

ALRIGHT!!!! The show is back on, the season premier burned into our memories alongside such important information as the details as your personal best, which test lines you have on all your rods and your anniversary...(I wanna say, febuar-jan,cember,arch thirty-secondy five?)  Nonetheless, we should resign such information to replay in our heads, so lets talk. This is the forum for everything, zombie, everything ghoulish, and everything "The Walking Dead," 2014!

Not sure if the zombies or my gf will get Carl first! Lol she hates the kid at this point. It'll be interesting to see if the angry young man is somewhat reformed after nearly losing his las link to life before zombies.

I actually kinda like the character development on his part. He is no longer the same wimpy, little child who got Dale killed. He has hardened and is actually become pretty proficient at zombie slaying. His snarky comments about shane are annoying though. Still, you gotta love last season's father-son zombie shootout extravaganza.

It's times like this that I really hate the Everything Else forum.

Haha, why, because of the zombie craze...because we live in a day in age when half of the shotguns you'll find at the SHOT show are designed to be "tactical" zombie killers and its common for your fishing knife to have a tanto point for zombie killing. One must wonder how we got here.

The best post in the history of ever...it should be pinned, stickyed and written on a chalk board 100x by all who understand or have/will contribute to this thread.

And I thought this thread was about politicians.

[5dollarsplash]

I think it'd be locked already if it was Sam.  Actually getting the word politician in the thread might lock it up by itself lol.

We had a thriving zombie forum a couple of months ago that didn't get shut down.

I hope part 2 of the season picks up a lot better

The Michone dream sequence was worth the price of admission.

At first I thought it was a commercial...then things got weird(er)

[coryn h. fishowl]

YES!!! Glenn is alive and apparently the new, militaristic dude is a major comic character, and Carol is back. One has to wonder if Tyresse will find out about her

[Redlinerobert]

yawn.

[Cgrinder]

Has the show gotten better since seasons one and two? 

[Felix77]

So far a very slow start in my opinion. Hoping it spices up soon.

Now you sound like me at the beginning of the season lol

i havent watched the new seaon yet. so im not reading this but deff keep this thread going !!

[coryn h. fishowl]

Well, in one and two, there was no truly safe, haven. Their survival never felt certain and the characters were weak. Now they are hardened, but once again on the move, searching desperately for a home, and with a new character in the mix, and the strain of being seperated is causing many to break, the facade that they are blase and untouchable wearing thin. I'd say this season might be even better. They are scattered to the wind, and will form new bonds, (e.g. Daryl hooking up with the blond girl....Hershel's kid) and probably will have some near misses...almost coming into contact but not bumping into each other a few times. They are gonna toy with us for a while I'm sure

I for one am ready to see Rick toughen up again. Now that we know Judith is alive he should have the resolve he needs.

Agreed, half of me didn't want him to get up in the first episode, he's fallen so far from what he was. 

 

I'm hoping the focus the scope a little bit on key characters.  Theres quite a few I could care less whether they make it or not.  Heck, little pycho girl can go anytime.

Yeah, I'm sure rick will have some rival to go against (this season's governor) and the moment will come where he must either fall of harden...I'm sure he will come back...but for now, Carl is the tough one, and it would seem they are trying to play up his growth

[coryn h. fishowl]

Well, the last epidsode was a bit slow, but they finally addressed something that has bothered me for some time...Daryl's carbon bolts would break eventually...now if only we could get them to make that modern-day crossbow more realistic and actually send arrows though walkers

[tomustang]

Last episode was one of the better episodes out of the whole series.

It was nice to see another side of Daryl than the hunter. They only drop occasional hints at his past...Merle seeing the scars on his back, his drinking of moonshine...to hear him vulnerable and in the open was a rare treat. Even if they did burn a bunch of perfectly good "shine.
