"Twice As Far" "East"

 

Hey, finally someone gets it - remembering Glenn is Korean, and not from China.  (Korea is on the bordering Eastern edge of China)

[morgankobi]

Zombie version of the East/West Bowl?

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

^ Team CDB vs Team Fear?  CDB in a total rout. 

 

Carol, playing defense, would have them pissing their pants/shorts.  Rick would make a damned good QB or receiver, I mean he sure has the pistol & shotgun formations down pat.

[morgankobi]

I guess with those pants, Michonne is a lock for tight end. <sorry>

Carl can be back-up QB, except when they use an I-formation. <even more sorry>

If FPP is very lucky I'll maybe let him be the cord-carrier for the headset.

 

Can Team Fear's uniform be blouses, as a homage to greasy kid the first few episodes?

Good call on Michonne being a TE, w/ Rick @ QB.  I mean, Rick already connected with her deep downfield for a score.  <kinda sorry, while also sorta not sorry>

Certainly hope Rick's doing better for Michonne than the occasional short pass.

True, and for her sake, its better that he throws a firm spiral and not limp ducks.

[Uncle Benzene]

Clearly this is the Easter episode, right? But now that Denise is dead, Alexandria no longer has an ER. Hence, East.

 

Can't be a coincidence that Jesus has been gone for two episodes, right? And on the third day... guess who's back?

 

Hopefully Daryl and Aaron will spend the whole episode tracking a bunny.

[AnnaMayWong]

In earlier seasons, weren't The Walkers 'smarter'❓

I realize that the region hordes were fresher back then; however, now, the newly turned Walkers don't appear to be quite as...adept as their 'predeceasers'.

[CletusMusashi]

Maybe Dr. Eastman will rise from the dead and throw eggs at Morgan.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

Gosh I hope not.  You just know Morgan will get all yolked up about it, start chickening out about killing even more.

[CletusMusashi]

Maybe Rick will put bunny suits on all the zombies and have an Easter parade.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

Maybe Rick will put bunny suits on all the zombies and have an Easter parade.

 

"Gabriel, we have a little surprise for you.  I know you still maintain your belief in religion and its ways, so it being Easter, we hid some eggs out there beyond the walls.  You get to go find them, how's about that?  Some might be just beyond the walls, and some might be back at the prison.  Oh, but no coming back to until you find all 5 dozen eggs.  And you have to leave all weapons here.  Would the Heavenly host like weapons present while celebrating his rebirth?  No, he wouldn't.  So, best get going and good luck out there!"

[morgankobi]

"Here comes Father Gabriel,

Hopping down the zombie trail..."

[CletusMusashi]

Maybe they'll build a Trojan rabbit to surprise Negan.

[morgankobi]

Don't forget the link!

[Nashville]

"Here comes Father Gabriel,

Hopping down the zombie trail..."

 

"...Dying in the process all the waaaayyyyy...."

[AngelaHunter]

Maybe Rick will put bunny suits on all the zombies and have an Easter parade.

 

With balloons? Glenn would like that.

[morgankobi]

"...Dying in the process all the waaaayyyyy...."

There it was.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

All kidding aside, I think TWD would 'go there' and I'm kinda betting Jesus sacrifices his life to save someone and then becomes a walker tonight... you know, symbolism and all.   Easter is the day He arose after a sacrificial death.

 

Knowing the sometimes wicked sense of humor that Gimple and team likes to put on display, FPP will have to slay walker!Jesus.   At which time he will immediately crumple and wail I killed Jesus!

[CletusMusashi]

Or, he'll have a John Lennon moment and say this proves he's bigger.

[paigow]

Easter weekend is not complete without a "Ben-Hur" walker...

[CletusMusashi]

Zombie chariots, anyone? I'm sure Michonne could arrange that.

 

Hey, are we sure "East" is the whole title? What if it's "An Easter Carol?"

Carol, while on walkabout, gets trapped in a building surrounded by child zombies, and is visited by the ghost of her old friend Merley, and then by the ghosts of Easter Past, Present, and Future, played by... oh let's see... Sofia, Maggie's Sonogram With A Talking CGI Mouth, and Grown Up Katana Wielding Judith. At the end of the episode she will slaughter all of the Neganites, go to Gregory, and demand the biggest the goose that they have. And then when it turns out Hilltop doesn't actually have any geese, she'll kill Gregory, too.

And, yes, Father Pee pants will somehow die in the process.

I don't know about smarter but maybe retained some memory?  When Rick and Glenn were running around Atlanta to get back to the department store, one of the zombies was trying to smash the glass door with a rock/piece of broken concrete and, when Rick and Glen climbed up the fire escape ladder, the zombies tried to climb up after them.

[CletusMusashi]

The virus mutated, resulting in dumber zombies. 

"The virus mutated," is Walkingdeadian for "A wizard did it.'

Or that one scene from the pilot ep, DGB, that has always stuck with me; the one with Morgan's dead wife trying to turn the locked knob and get in the front door - and then her & Rick seeing eye-to-eye through the peep hole.

The walkers were certainly faster in earlier seasons. They were down right speedy the first season. I just started watching the show this year. Binge watched the first six seasons in just a couple weeks. It is almost comical how quick they were, especially the first few shows.

The very first walker encountered - little girl one that Rick found while looking for gas - actually started to run just a little bit at him (well, as much as a walker could 'run', anyways).

 

I miss Darabont and his way of doing things & playing off the source material.

Off topic, but the actress who played "Chelle the Savior a couple weeks back popped up this week on Nashville as a 'mysterious' new character (I saw 2 minutes of it and there she was).

[mustbekarma]

My area is under a thunderstorm warning, so watch the storm move in just in time for tonight's episode and cut off my satellite. I'll have to live vicariously through you guys.

Governor music behind Dwight's speech? (And he really does do his mouth in this weird ZA Dazed and Confused McConaughey fashion. Or I'm into the red wine early.)

 

They seem to have let up on the jet black hair dye on Daryl, which makes him seem a little cleaner.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, karma.  Last week I had to read the live chat board while I watched a later broadcast--I wanted to rip that tiny padlock off the screen and post.

[SimoneS]

Here we go.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

WTF?

[Armchair Critic]

what was that?

[Peanut]

I SWEAR TO CEILING CAT IF THEY KILL CAROL I WILL TYPE REALLY ANGRY THINGS IN ALL CAPS

[CletusMusashi]

So... thirty seconds in and Carol's already shot someone? Cool!

Edited March 28, 2016 by CletusMusashi

[Enero]

i think that was the shortest teaser the show has ever had. Lol

[Armchair Critic]

was that one of Daryl's arrows dripping with blood?

[tennisgurl]

Hey there, ready for fun, and apparently, confusion! 

[riverheightsnancy]

Worried for Carol, guys. 

[Enero]

And then straight to a commercial. Huh.

[EllenC]

was that the abrupt end of carol not killing anyone?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

FTWD S2 premiere...

Worst beach party EVER!

[Nostariel]

Is Carol dead? Is she killing other people? What is going on?!

[JackONeill]

Is it just me, or do we get a little more info each time FTWD commercial airs?

[Armchair Critic]

Oh good at least we get to see Carol leave

[Lillith]

Carol is a much better seamstress than I am.
