SimoneS August 3, 2018 Share August 3, 2018 (edited) TSDF has a new leak. Carol and Ezekiel are getting married or their marriage will be revealed in episode 6 or 7. I think more likely episode 7 after the time jump of 5 or 6 years after Rick's death. I just remembered that there are two time jumps. Their marriage would work with either.

What would be the point of a marriage in a post-apocalyptic world? So that they have legal rights over each other like power of attorney? Or they can have rights to community property?

At its core, marriage primarily exists in all human cultures is because it bonds individuals and their families (biological and non-biological) together. Humans have to live together to survive in our environment and our odds of survival improve if we build relationships with others and marriage is one way of achieving this. In the a post-apocalyptic world, I would think marriage would become important again for that reason as well as a symbol of people's love for each other and not legal rights or religion. 6 Link to comment

nodorothyparker August 3, 2018 Share August 3, 2018 There's a quiet little scene in the same season 6 episode where Glenn rolled under a conveniently placed dumpster between Michonne and an Alexandria red shit about this. He'll get bit and die before the episode's over but before that, he tells her that marrying in the ZA was important to him because it was about being connected to another living person and actually living and hoping as opposed to just existing. That seems as good a reason as any when everything else is pretty much gone. The show used to manage nice little moments like that. 11 Link to comment

I'm not a Carol fan by any stretch of the imagination but I can see why she and Zeke would get married. Both have lost loved ones and have sunk to the depths of despair. If they decide that they care enough for each other to want to be together and spend whatever life they have together, I think that's a good thing. It's like screaming 'LIFE' in the face of death.

That'll be her storyline for this season - finding a non-abusive husband and then mourning him when he dies. Maggie 2.0, without becoming a leader.

He was smart enough to get an entire community thriving in that hell. Kept it together as long as he could. I remember spoilers from the comics, and who Ezekiel ended up with there, as well as what happened. I hope they don't kill him off, unless the actor wants to be let go.

rab01 August 6, 2018 Share August 6, 2018 Did anyone else watch the preview show last night? I kind of liked the scene between Daryl and Carol talking about Ezekiel and that the actors were making fun of Norman Reedus for refusing to ride a horse. Also, it was interesting that they were so open about Rick's departure but very little or no discussion of Maggie leaving. Kang was a pleasant departure from Kirkman or Gimple on the couch but she seemed a bit too much a fan/cheerleader for a showrunner. Also, YNB was pretty funny but even more "look at me" than Hardwick. (p.s. - This probably isn't the right thread but I finally watched the last 5 episodes of last season over the weekend and all of you who were insulting those episodes were ... too kind. That was some really dumb garbage imitating a TV show. I really hope that Kang sees the flaws in the show and tries to fix them because I guess I haven't quit the show yet.) Link to comment

I don’t want to spoil your day, but Kang co-wrote six episodes in season 8, two of which were in the last five, unfortunately that awful finale was one of them! If she really is free of ‘The Gimps’ influence, we can only hope that complete control will be enough to make a positive difference and that her contributions to the writing were the good parts Lol 2 Link to comment
nodorothyparker August 6, 2018 Share August 6, 2018 Clip from the preview special. I do like that they're having these two longtime characters talk to each like actual people while also on the face of it at least laying the rumors of the renewed shipping nonsense to rest. It's almost reminiscent of when the characters did still talk to each other and behave like normal people. So that's something, I guess. I had the special on in the background while I was doing other stuff, so I admit I wasn't paying a ton of attention when they were fangirling hard over Tom Payne, who appears to have inherited Carl's departed hair. They seem awfully anxious to assure everyone that the show is going to survive Andy Lincoln leaving and that it's all going to be just as good as it ever was. I found the lack of any mention about Lauren Cohen exiting rather interesting too. Link to comment
SimoneS August 7, 2018 Share August 7, 2018 That promo does give me hope, hope that those fucking monologues are a thing of the past and the characters actually start having conversations like they used to before Negan showed up.

What do you want from us?" "Well, remember a long, long time ago all the fans wanted Daryl and Carol to get together but we decided to make them brother and sister, or mother and son (because after all if a woman is a couple years older than the guy she's a mother figure. Anything else is, like, totally squicky, right?)? Maybe they can talk, y'know, the way people really talk? The way they used to back in the olden days?" "How do people really talk? We don't remember how to write actual back and forth con-ver-sations between original cast members! Wahhh! We'll take a crack at it, but no promises. First we'll go pencil in how many times Negan is going to lean back and talk about dicks and balls or allude to masturbation in the premiere. Prime importance, so chop chop!!"

I never saw it before. And you know the horse's name, too! Is there anything in TWD universe you don't know. lol. Apollo would indeed enjoy the news. Guess Tara will be around for a while then. I'm so conflicted about S9, with Rick and Maggie leaving... almost makes me feel like I'm losing the whole show. I must say the only season I've looked forward to less than S9 is S7. I saw the comic con preview on TV today; and it looked very good.... but, I still feel like I'm losing the family. Like it's the end of an era. I feel like I'll be watching S9 to say goodbye to the show. Not sure I want to see a "re-do" of the show, like they've done in other "Dead" shows. Seems to create a totally new show instead. Great prelude for the whisperers, though. Looks like Rick's vision of peace belongs to him alone, and no one else. lol. What's new? Like no one is getting along at all. At least a time jump will make Judith more pertinent, though only to lose her dad... Wonder how much they regret killing Carl now? Though I'm a big Daryl fan, just can't see him as leading the ensemble. Looks like a lot of fun in the colonial setting, and seems to have them back in Atlanta too. I know you and I had discussed (way back!) our desire to see some urban settings utilized. Can't believe it's so close to the new season. Hope it's a good one, but it'd take a lot to sooth my conflicted emotions. 5 Link to comment

SimoneS August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 (edited) I cannot believe that they are killing off one of the longer supporting characters so soon after Rick's death and Maggie's departure. We barely have gotten to know anything about Jesus even though he has been around so long. All so they could give precious airtime to Negan's endless monologues. This show has forgotten that they need to develop characters so we care when they die. I find it difficult to believe that AMC is paying for the CGI weekly for Aaron's missing arm. They have killed him off instead. Edited August 16, 2018 by SimoneS 4 Link to comment
LydiaMoon1 August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 Who? This is my response to the casting of Lydia as well. I don't read the graphic novels. That name means nothing to me. Most of the GA don't read the comics, so I doubt the news will generate any kind a excitement among the remaining audience. This is a problem. The show seems to have forgotten that TWD is a TV show written for a general audience. Ever since the intro of Negan, they seem to be writing to satisfy the viewership niche that reads the comics. As a GA member, all I care about are the characters that I've followed for years. Now that they've either killed off or are about to write out a majority of those characters, I'm like....meh. Lydia who? Henry? Who cares? Negan? Just die already! And so on. My enthusiasm for this show is rapidly approaching zero. 7 Link to comment

Now that they've either killed off or are about to write out a majority of those characters, I'm like....meh. Lydia who? Henry? Who cares? Negan? Just die already! And so on. Exactly. Why should I care if Henry gets Carl's comic arc? I don't care about the comic arc, I care about Carl. It's irrelevant to me what Henry does or who he does it with. I was only watching occasionally, and I stopped when I found out they were killing Carl. Now once they get rid of Rick, Maggie, etc, now some other regular characters, why would I even read the synopses? 9 Link to comment
AngelaHunter August 17, 2018 Share August 17, 2018 Quote Lydia has been cast. Lydia? Who she? Lydia, oh, Lydia Oh have you seen Lydia? Lydia, the taaatooed lady! Pardon me. That just slipped out. Quote She will be played by actress Cassady McClincy. Who? times two. As for Jesus, he was kind of a useless irritant at the end, especially dragging in all those POWs. He should have been told, "You brought them here. It's your job to feed and care for them." Negan will skulk in the woods? Really? Are we going to have Little Riding Hood joining the cast? Gee, I hope so. 3 Link to comment
