MarquisDeCarabas February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Robert Kirkman dropped a huge spoiler on the episode of @Midnight tonight that had a panel of 'The Walking Dead' folks -- Lauren Cohan (Maggie Green), Josh McDermit (Eugene) and Robert Kirkman. In the final round, the challenge was to make up as many fake 'The Walking Dead' spoilers as they could in 60 seconds. And one of Kirkman's responses was (paraphrasing here): "Glenn meets a character named Negan who beats him to death with a baseball ball named Lucille" Which is basically what happened in the graphic novels -- but since these were fake spoilers they were supposed to be made up, I'm concluding that this means Glenn doesn't die at the hands of Negan on the TV show. Which is great news, because I like Glenn. You never know though, given Kirkman's tendency to be a bit of an asshole I can see him tossing a real spoiler in there and given it's a known comic spoiler it's easy for him to handwave as a joke. Judging from Lauren Cohen's reaction though it's certainly not happening this season. Eugene who knows the comics though, laughed his ass off. 5 Link to comment

I do think referring to Aaron leaving the group some water as "a fairy zombie godmother" was ...awkward? Yeah, "fairy" was a poor choice of words. And considering they go on to say Aaron is gay, it makes it seem like they used that word on purpose. So it looks like Rick will lose the beard in episode 12. I'm sort of dreading that. AL looks so young clean shaven and I've gotten used to seeing crazy-pants Rick with the long hair and beard. And if he changes his clothes, he'll be downright unrecognizable. I wonder if anyone else (Daryl) will also clean up after reaching the ASZ. 2 Link to comment

TVFan17 February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 Daryl needs a good scrubbin' and hair washin.' He'll probably still end up looking the same after he cleans up, but he needs it. Rick has been scruffy for a long time, and in the 'almost Grizzly Adams' stage just recently. Once he is clean-shaven and neatly dressed again, he might just resemble his alter ego in Love Actually... all he needs are a bunch of giant cue cards and a boom box. (He can hum "Silent Night" and that will work just fine. I don't expect handy holiday CDs to be within reach during the ZA.) It's funny -- in the latest episode thread I was saying that I would expect more survivors to be hooking up with people that they wouldn't normally hook up with in the zombie apocalypse, meaning that lots of folks would also probably be 'dating down' (for lack of a better phrase). People would be 'settling' a lot more, I think, due to the limited options. Rick, on the other hand, is basically going to get a super-hot playmate (even if she is mussed up a bit, to make her look as though she has been through traumatic events). He's not going to have to 'settle' at all. Alexandra Breckenridge is the same actress who drove Dylan McDermott's character to acts and thoughts of uncontrollable lust in the first season of American Horror Story, and she can be quite alluring. I would imagine her character will have to be the one to make the first move with Rick, to knock him out of his sexual coma. It should be interesting to see how Rick interacts with a new mate. We've never seen him getting frisky with anyone but Lori (who was boring as hell). 1 Link to comment

Has anything new been said (I'm not talking about comics or comics material)? I know they're probably going to hook up, but at this point it genuinely annoys me, to the point where I may take a break for a while, because if the show knew they were going to bring in a random new woman to be Rick's love interest, it's in poor taste to have him holding hands with Michonne and showcasing his relationship with Michonne again after they barely interacted in the first half of the season. That's just more ship-baiting and fan-baiting, and I got enough of that BS with Bethyl and Caryl. 3 Link to comment

To me it's baiting to do this stuff with Rick and Michonne when they know there's some fan interest in the relationship. If the plan is for Rick to be with another woman, so be it, but the last few episodes should have been handled somewhat differently in that case. If they don't have plans for Rick and Michonne and want to keep them just friends then even something like the hands is going to mislead some fans. Link to comment
GreyBunny February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 (edited) Michonne talking to Rick and trying to pull him out of a mental deep hole is ship-baiting? Men and women who have lived with each other for a year or more can't interact on a deep level without it being tied to some romantic ship? If fans are "misled" because they can't understand the various nuances of adult friendships then that's the fans' fault. The show is going to go where it goes and it doesn't owe the shippers' feelings anything. You ship at your own risk. Edited February 25, 2015 by GreyBunny 6 Link to comment

I just don't believe the undertones of the last few episodes, especially the last one, come across that way, especially when the show knows some fans are very interested in the relationship. If they plan on bringing in a new love interest for Rick, then building up his connection with Michonne right beforehand is just going to lead to fan wars and hostility, and nasty comments directed toward the actors.

Nutjob February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 In the comics, Michonne really becomes Rick's right hand person at ASZ--even more so than Abraham, Andrea, or Glenn, in my opinion. I'm just hoping the increase in interaction between the two is because they're taking t.v. Michonne in that direction as well, and not because they're setting up any sort of romantic relationship. I like them just the way they are. 4 Link to comment

This is what happened with Beth/Daryl/Carol and I have this dread in me that it will happen again. They built up his relationship with Daryl, with Carol, they built up the relationship with Maggie and Sasha, and no way does building up a relationship obligate a romantic turn. If you don't want to read Pride and Prejudice, don't; but then you can't get mad at the movie version having the female lead suddenly not go with the guy you wanted and go with another guy. That's the author's vision. Whether new fans years later are interested in something else is their own issue. Stories cannot be created in reaction or created by committee. "Undertones" are the opinion of some viewers; that is their perception, but the show can't cut out directions that characters will go in because some viewers perceived it a certain way. Whatever way you or I perceive Aaron now---good or evil---is our own business but it will not have any effect on the storyline, and it shouldn't. Nor should a show or actors be bullied in their work choices because of fear that they must do what fans dream of and not what they signed up for. Fans yell at people from all kinds of shows because the character played shot someone or divorced someone; actors know some fans are unable to separate reality from ficiton and they can't pay attention to the nuttier ones. Robert Kirkman wrote this starting 12 years ago. And no one said Boo then. Now it's on television, and people think the show shouldn't be about the ultimate intent of the story he wanted to tell about people in the ZA, it should be about proving something. That's sad and disrespectful of the Bethisn'tdead nuts or whoever. How would it be for people to go to the plays that Danai Gurira wrote and protest how the second act ends or who she cast? It's her vision! She's a playwright not a short-order cook! Same for Gimple or Whedon or Speilberg or Amy Tan. Anybody who wants a certain saga a certain way can write their own. 2 Link to comment
BrokenRemote February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 (edited) I've been saying every week when people have been all "man, those Richonne scenes were smokin' hot!" that I don't see it. And I honestly don't think the show has ever even hinted it's there. There's no reason to think they're even aware it's a fan thing, because it's nowhere near rampant to the degree that the whole Bethyl thing was. I think we're seeing two great actors that have good chemistry portraying two people who are close friends, and I can't think of one thing that's happened on the show that even hints at anything otherwise. I'd challenge anyone to bring up something that absolutely shows that the show intended to give off that vibe, because there's never been anything other than close friendship there. I don't think the show has ever hinted at Caryl, either. The closest thing they ever did to hint at Bethyl was that stupid "I've never" game, and even that wasn't really anything. Where the baiting came in there was Emily Kinney's hints in interviews and social media. I was accused of calling shippers stupid when I said this, and that's not in any way how I feel (because I've been one and probably will be again with some show or other) but I do think that once a person ships a couple they start to see every interaction through that lens, because they're human and it's in their head and so it's inevitable. I've been on both sides: wondering what the heck people are talking about when they say some particular scene or episode was just off the charts with sexual tension, and seeing something in an interaction that others absolutely didn't see.

Ocean Chick February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 I, too, don't see rampant sexual tension in their scenes. Nor in the Carol/Daryl ones. I think they're all good friends/family by now, and have tons of love and respect for each other. And if the show does decide to "go there" in either of those situations, I'm not going to find it too OOC, as I know couples have succeeded on a lot less. I'm also not going to raise a ruckus if they have any of those four pair up with someone else (case in point: Jessie). I'm just here for the survival of the human species. 4 Link to comment

Was it Norman Reedus who once said that if and when Daryl ever leaves TWD, he'd like to see him just walking off into the distance...never to be heard from again (so that we never know what becomes of him)? Or was it someone else from TWD's cast or crew who said that? I know that Daryl was the character being referenced, but I just can't recall if it was NR who said it. In any case, this whole little scenario coming up (as outlined in the spoilers) made me think, "I wonder if this is going to be Daryl's time to walk off into the distance." It seems that there must be a plan for him at this new location -- in a non-planning sort of way. If he is already a fish out of water, he may get restless and want to ramble on into the night.

NO EXAGGERATION!!! http://www.inquisitr.com/1870917/the-walking-dead-spoilers-rick-and-the-group-face-new-challenges-in-alexandria/ http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/02/the-walking-dead-episode-512-remember_24.html Do we have to tag spoilers here? If it's a major spoiler are we allowed to talk about it or do we have to tag it? 2 Link to comment
kikismom February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Maybe more comic books and some Better Homes and Gardens -- covering up a secret stash of Hustlers or something. Was it Norman Reedus who once said that if and when Daryl ever leaves TWD, he'd like to see him just walking off into the distance...never to be heard from again (so that we never know what becomes of him)? Or was it someone else from TWD's cast or crew who said that? I know that Daryl was the character being referenced, but I just can't recall if it was NR who said it. In any case, this whole little scenario coming up (as outlined in the spoilers) made me think, "I wonder if this is going to be Daryl's time to walk off into the distance." It seems that there must be a plan for him at this new location -- in a non-planning sort of way. If he is already a fish out of water, he may get restless and want to ramble on into the night. That would be interesting, and since he is not in canon, he could do it. But I have even wondered if the show would stick to the book for Carl, or have Daryl be the one who gets held captive by Negan...only to eventually make a sort of mentorship/ with him? Sorry, I know this is a spoiler page but I still put tags on some things because I'm so paranoid; the mods are in the trees! They're coming for me! 1 Link to comment

I wonder about this, too, and where there really is to go with both Daryl and Abraham in the mix. 2 Link to comment
