Wrath/North Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[formerlyfreedom]

This is your pre-air Speculation and Live Chat thread for the two part Season Finale, S02.E14: Wrath / S02.E15: North. This thread will close after the episodes air Sunday. Then please go over to the actual episode topic here. Please do NOT post spoilers or discuss The Walking Dead here (that is for over here).

As always, please be civil and respectful to your fellow posters, and thanks for posting at Previously.TV!

It's two hour episode, so I don't expect much to happen.

Predictions: Of the main cast, Chris is most likely to die, followed by Ofelia (if she's even in it). Strand is a long shot. He's very popular, but the writers have had no idea what to do with him since the hacienda story ended. They could kill him off to show how daring they are.

Of the secondary characters, Luciana and the head of the Colonia are as good as dead, as are Elena, Hector, the shopkeeper brother and just about everyone at the Hotel.

I expect both the Colonia and the Hotel to fall to bandits/walkers.

Perhaps the last scene will have the survivors come across an abandoned prison...

[Giselle]

Based on the preview of what was shown I think Travis is going to attack or kill the Bromigos because Chris isn't with them and Travis will assume they killed him. That in turn will cause him to be exiled from the hotel for breaking Madison's Rule #1 "Raising a hand against another gets you kicked out." Madison will follow. 

I hope Strand makes it to season 3 and gets his sass back, he's the only character I care about. The rest are zombie fodder.

I've been watching the FTWD marathon intermittently since yesterday -- and the one thing that really stands out in S1 and early half of S2 is that there is absolutely no mention of Ofelia having a fiancé.  There's no mention that she even has a significant other that she is worried about, you know wondering if he has survived (no phone calls, no text messages, no e-mails) the red flu or the breakdown in civilization, let alone any mention of said fiancé being in New Mexico.  And certainly no mention of this fiancé by Daniel or Griselda.

[Christi]

Is this the finale? (Hope so)

Why double episodes?

[Giselle]

Who knows?

I hate and can't figure out why TV shows have gone to split seasons. Hate it.

The writers got a bright idea while sitting on the pot one morning. Poof instant fiancé.

What, it is a 2 hour finale? I better fortify myself with something. I was not expecting that.

I know!  We're all going to need some of that presidential stamina!

[mightysparrow]

I would love to see Travis kick some Lochtette ass.  Somebody should and WE can't do it. 

I'm dreading the 'return of Nick' but Ofelia with car troubles doesn't bode well for a 2-hour episode either.

[nodorothyparker]

They're burning off two episodes in one night?  How do they expect anyone to stay awake for that?

[riverheightsnancy]

Finally some walkers. 

[MostlyContent]

More walker action in the first minute than we've seen for ages!!

I hear that Nick is cooking up some meth special just for the viewers for tonight! 

[candall]

I'm sure I could run up and stab a screwdriver into some zombie's temple, but the first one that snuck up on me:  I'm chomped.

[calliope1975]

Man, if I was a zombie, I'd avoid hills. 

[mightysparrow]

ANOTHER Pirates of the Caribbean?

[ottoDbusdriver]

Were those walkers hiding in the weeds ?  How did they get to Ofelia so fast ?  Because when she drove up there was nothing for miles around.

Disney's gotta get that Scrooge McDuck money. Though I wonder how popular this one will be. 

[NorthstarATL]

I'm taking a break from cage for this. Hi, Ofelia! Have a nice trip!

Why are you punishing yourself? :p

[JackONeill]

It is interesting that they're showing two stand-alone episodes back to back. I wonder if the people running the projectors got bored with the show and said, "Let's just get this over with!"

[NorthstarATL]

Nick's showing off his super-sketchy skillz!

[JackONeill]

Even after Curtis shaves, he has a beard.

[nodorothyparker]

Is he stealing the same meds that he helped cut in that blatant Breaking Bad ripoff two or three episodes ago?  Do I even care?

[riverheightsnancy]

They are in a hotel and they sleep in a chair and couch. Idiots. Take the comfort while you can. It will not last.

That's Madison.

[candall]

That damn bus is like the most impenetrable space there's ever been on either show.

[nodorothyparker]

I don't have to pretend to give a shit about your psycho kid anymore but I'll at least attempt to make a frowny expression about it every once in awhile.  Go me.

That's what I was thinking.  Pure exhaustion and they crash on the couch?  And chair?  ha

[NorthstarATL]

Nick is like Pigpen in Peanuts.

Oh Hey! Room service!

[riverheightsnancy]

Well Madison's hair has changed again. The bangs have been cut and the color is lighter and nicely coiffed in the current style. I watched the early episodes last night and she practically started the show with light brown hair. They could at least make the women not look so "done up". 

[JackONeill]

Will Madison play her favorite drinking game with Travis? Or us that only for Strand? One Life To Live, or One Undead To Die.

[Red Fields]

Blame the victim, hell no!

[JackONeill]

Cooking in lard. Yum. No wonder I like Mexican food.

[calliope1975]

It just takes the ZA to bring out the psychopath in your child! 

They should be happy the only good kid wants anything to do with them. In fact, RUN ALICIA! RUN FAR FAR AWAY FROM THESE TWO!

[candall]

I remember when Macdonalds used to have lard in the deep fryers for the French fries.  They were delicious.

Yes, I'm bored.  is it almost over?

[nodorothyparker]

Zombie Costco is about cleaned out.  I think Nick's going to need a lot more pills to get a crappy shopping cart full of anything.

[mightysparrow]

Alicia is so used to settling for next to nothing.  

[MostlyContent]

"The gringo learns fast"  

Not this gringo, bucko.  This gringo is Nick, and he learns nothing, ever, ever, ever.  Just wait and see.  

[JackONeill]

Hey, Nick, while you're at Costco how 'bout picking up some lard?

[Straycat80]

Oh, those assholes killed that little girl and her family!

I never really figured out that part of the story.

These folks probably got the salon up and running first. Priorities.

[JackONeill]

And let us not forget: we have two hours of this to get through.

Be careful out there!

Me neither. But there's a lot of story's on this show I can't figure out.

I *think* they were trying to explain how the Costco guys found Nick's new little compound, although why they just couldn't follow a squeeky-wheeled grocery cart is beyond me.  

[riverheightsnancy]

Ok, here we go, the BroBrothers are there. This should be good. 

[raven]

Douche bros in the house.  Shoot them now.

Ah ha, is Chris dead?  I have the same reaction as Strand - a matter of fact "that's tragic"  LOL>
