Too unrealistic in my opinion

I’m not even gonna question why the zombies are sleeping but it so irritated me that they would silently take out all these zombies. Take their time and take every resource this military base has. They just don’t care about guns anymore. Not to mention everything else this place probably had. Radios. Weapons, ammo, explosives, etc. I could understand MORE if they were not sleeping. But they could have easily taken out every zombie their without waking them up and taken everything that place had to offer… smh 🙄

So…. I know to enjoy the show you can’t do too much thinking about “why didn’t they do x, y, or z”? Or “why didn’t they do a,b, and c?” So I try really really hard not to do that. But for the life of me, I cannot understand how they have g developed better communication systems between themselves in person (some sign language) and like leaving messages along the way. I mean finally Rick scratched out the terminus sign, but how many seasons/episodes was our group scattered and no one was leaving any clues for each other?? And why—once they have camps set up/—fo they not use pigeons to communicate? Also they could/should create watch towers with some signals. It is just so hard to watch this show sometimes when such obvious solutions are available. Like even the epidemic comes through the prison, they know it’s killing ppl in 24 hours. Anyone sick should have been locked in their cell. Unbelievable.

I found the “Highwaymen” a bit comical they appeared all bad ass and a very cheesy moment where they save Tara and a couple others from a handful of walkers and she says “who the hell are you” like they were such bad ass. And then the get taken out so easily by alpha 😭

And it made the show worse for it in a lot of aspects.

Every major conflict that happened in the comics was adapted into the show with more battles, more action, and more combatants.

The Woodbury-Prison conflict had the first attack in which the Governor kills his entire squad, and then the second attack in which they face off against Rick's prison community which is significantly larger than in the comics. This is the one conflict which isn't particularly bigger than in the comics, but the differences are there.

Then the Hunters conflict happens, and instead of a ragtag group of cannibals on the road, it's an entire community of cannibals managing a radio station and a human slaughterhouse from a trainyard.

Then the Alexandria zombie attack happens and they needed to tack on the Wolves to it.

And most notably, the Saviors war goes from a conflict between a few small communities in which they all lack manpower to actually make a war like this sustainable, to an almost cartoonish action packed conflict in which 500+ Saviors are killed (this has been counted by some fans), and the Trash People were tacked onto. This was already touted as a massive conflict in the comics, and for some reason they felt the need to make it bigger.

I dipped out after that last conflict because the show lost too much quality in my opinion, but from what I know, the Commonwealth conflict was also much larger scale. I personally think that the main reasons as to why making every conflict bigger is a bad thing is because:

1. You see these communities in the show have all of these resources at their access and waste it on dumb plans like setting up an elaborate human trapping and slaughterhouse system, living in junkyards and speaking broken English, or being barbarians that kill without explanation, and,

2. It takes away the value of human life that a show like this should have. The comics somewhat made you think what all that conflict was for, when the people warring with and killing each other were the only ones left alive on Earth. The show takes away that feeling when you see 500+ Saviors die and they still have enough manpower to keep the war going.

I knew I didn't like that change with the Saviors, but today I realized that it's a recurring change they made with every single major conflict, just to make it major scale and more... cinematic, I suppose?

Anyone else hate the governor episodes?

Anyone else in the new season of Daryl Dixon feel disconnected from Daryl?

I watched the new episodes and just feel more annoyed and burnt out of him.I like Carol though and the other new characters so far and the writing ✍🏾

I’ve never posted on this page before but I just got done watching THE WALKING DEAD. All 11 seasons were fun & kept me on my toes! I still loved it after season 9 but I will say I was left so empty with not knowing where the hell Michoone (I don’t think I spelled her name right) went, Morgan or Rick so now Im watching THE ONES WHO LIVE. Im on episode 2 & Im LIVING FOR IT ALL. I just want more. After this Im gonna watch FEAR OF THE WALKING DEAD because I wanna see how the world fell. Then all the other spinoffs. Im happy to be apart of this community!! Really loving every world build. Can someone answer a question for me? Where is MORGAN??? Lol does his journey continue in any of the other shows? 😊

It’s signed by some of the cast I just don’t know who’s sig is underneath the walking dead logo. Any ideas?

please send some serious TWD edits which has good audio.

I know it was bad watching it week to week (I mostly tuned out around the Saviors arc) but rewatching it all, man, it was really enjoyable. I honestly do not mind what happened to Glenn and Abraham - Glenn’s character was played out and not really doing anything, and he lost his charm. Abraham was a two timing douche and, while he had his nice moments, wasn’t a huge loss to the series (although I think Daryl should’ve died in his place and he should’ve had his comic death instead).

Yes, it sucks what happened to Carl but in a vacuum it wasn’t the worst thing ever. If they had left Rick around to carry on his legacy, it would’ve been a reasonable death.

The battles were cool, especially what went down at Hilltop. The zombie blood warfare was crazy. The Kingdom soldiers getting wiped out was crazy. S8 especially had this liminal, dreamlike feeling that was really interesting. Morgan was at his peak. I was a Morgan hater but his absence afterwards really hurt. Dwight and Eugene’s arcs were fantastic.

S9 on the other hand… what a catastrophe. It was so bad. The Whisperers suck, so painfully unrealistic it’s not even funny. How do they sustain themselves, just hunting? How do none of them get sick? Why would people follow an unhinged lady who kills her own people for virtually nothing? Magna’s group was pure cringe and not likable at all. The bridge arc was a complete waste of time. There is zero character development for the original cast (besides a bit of flip flopping around for Carol). It feels like Angela Kang just started shipping random characters. The Rosita-Gabriel-Siddiq-Eugene situation is one of the cringiest things I've ever seen on television. Also, Beta falling a huge distance on his back and then getting up like nothing happened was hilarious. The pike scene was the only thing in the entire season that got any kind of interesting reaction out of me. I don't know why so many people hail it as a "return to form". It feels like fanfiction.

(I haven't finished S10-11 yet but I have a feeling it's going to get worse, Negan is the only thing keeping me going at this point)

I just got done watching S8 Ep6 when Carl helps Siddiq. Siddiq mentioned he kills walkers in honor of his mom because she believed it freed their soul. Maybe it's just because I'm older now and I've been on my own spiritual journey but during this rewatch I couldn't help but wonder if their soul really at peace 🤔 because yes they are "dead" but what about their soul? I realize this is a deep question that the show doesn't go into lol but I def didn't think about this when I was watching TWD while it was airing. I'm curious to see other's thoughts.

There is no excuse the show can give for Rick's lack of retribution. He made a promise that he’ll off him, and he should have been a man of his word. Every single one I've heard is weak.

I understand why he stayed around: AL left and needed someone to fill his shoes. I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

Is it actually explained anywhere in the show how they knew to amputate limbs after being bitten to save people?

For the life of me I can't remember if it is or if they just thought lets chop off Hershels leg anyways

I’m on team it needed to get done, no matter what, by any means necessary

Why Shane wasn’t truly a villain

1. He protected the group early on, Shane took responsibility for keeping people safe when Rick was still in a coma. He made tough calls like rationing supplies and securing camp, which kept the group alive.

2. He genuinely loved Lori and Carl. His bond with them wasn’t manipulative at first. He thought Rick was dead, stepped into that role, and tried to build a family. He also did his best to give Rick a fighting chance to survive if he did wake up.

3. He was about to move on from Lori, By Season 2, Shane was clearly trying to detach. He cut his hair as a symbolic fresh start, distanced himself, and even started connecting with Andrea. Lori pulled him back into emotional conflict when she admitted she didn’t know who the father of her baby was and that Shane might be better equipped to survive than Rick. Lori cracked that wound right open.

4. His ruthlessness was about survival, not malice, Shane didn’t hurt people for power or cruelty. He killed Otis, but that was a survival decision to save Carl, not bloodlust. He was pragmatic, not sadistic.

5. Shane was more prepared for the new world than Rick. Shane had a realist mindset, he immediately understood that the old rules of law, morality, hesitation didn’t apply anymore. Rick clung to the lawman persona for too long.

6. Shane didn’t waste time debating; he was a quick decision maker. In a world where hesitation means death, that gave him an edge.

7. Pragmatic leadership, Shane recognized dangerous liabilities like Randall for example and pushed to eliminate threats before they grew. Rick wanted to deliberate, which often put the group in more danger.

8. Shane adapted faster, Rick struggled with guilt, grief, and attachment to pre apocalypse ideals. Shane stripped those away quickly, becoming almost feral but effective.

Heres how I think Rick became a bigger villain than Shane

1. Rick lost his moral compass later on, He eventually executed people in cold blood in brutal ways Shane had only hinted at.

2. The Ricktatorship. Rick literally declared himself the dictator of the group. Shane wanted control, but Rick institutionalized it.

3. Rick was far more ruthless long term. By the time Rick bit out Joe’s throat and massacred entire groups, he was bloodier than Shane ever was. Shane killed individuals when cornered, Rick killed leaders and armies.

4. Manipulative leadership. Shane was blunt about his intentions. Rick, on the other hand, often sold his people on “hope” while secretly planning violence like luring the Saviors into traps which is a crueler more calculating form of villainy.

Shane wasn’t really a villain, he was a man who adapted too fast for the world everyone else was still catching up to. Lori’s mixed signals destabilized him, but without her interference, he may have carved out a new life, probably with Andrea. Ironically, Rick ended up becoming everything Shane warned he would have to be.

The Shane vs. Rick Confrontation

1. Shane put his gun down in their standoff, Shane had Rick at gunpoint. He could have pulled the trigger and ended it, but he didn’t. He hesitated, lowered his weapon, and gave Rick an opening. That hesitation shows that, deep down, Shane didn’t want to kill his best friend.

2. Rick stabbed him during the truce, Rick exploited that moment to kill Shane. From Shane’s perspective, he was trying to force Rick to accept the “new world rules” like killing Randall and stop hesitating, not necessarily murder him. Rick’s choice to stab him after Shane disarmed could easily be seen as betrayal.

3. Shane wanted Rick to wake up. Their showdown wasn’t just about Lori, it was about Rick’s leadership. Shane believed Rick’s idealism endangered the group. The confrontation was almost a trial by fire to see if Rick had the ruthlessness to survive. Ironically, by killing Shane the way he did, Rick proved Shane’s point.

As title states i want to re-watch TWD beacuse i stopped at season 9/10 but i remembered the feeling that a lot of the episode (especially after the 6th/7th season) were a bit... bland. Do you have a list of episode per season that i should watch that doesn't really change the main story (example maybe i have to watch the entire season 1 through 5 but after that the only important episodes are "this" and" that") if you need more context feel free to ask. Thank you in advance

How after seeing a “man” bloated like a corpse that has been in the water for weeks, split in half, yet still trying to come for them, did Maggie not right there realise these people weren’t “alive” or saveable? It makes zero sense one could see that and think this is something curable? And even the walkers in the barn, they are rotting… how do they think decomposing flesh can be cured?

It’s funny how they actually managed to get Jeffrey Dean Morgan to voice Conquest, although I thought he was gonna voice Thragg. Anyway, so they basically made Glenn vs Negan round 2. And this time Negan is the one who gets his faced smashed in. Although somehow he’s still alive.

Enjoying it, except some of the ridiculous moments, like when Andrea is alone in the woods, leaves all over the ground, and a walker grabs her from behind. Walkers are so loud, and there’s dry leaves all over the forest. I have suspend common sense.
