The Walking Dead

I don't think he's dead, it doesn't seem that someone else will lose their hand, and we'll probably have to wait ages to find out more, if the next episode is all-Morgan.

So... who do we think was on the walkie-talkie at the end?

 

[kokobombon]

I dont think that character is dead either. When a major character dies, they make a big deal out of their deaths, this one didnt get his big send off... and too many episodes passed after that, they're preparing the big reveal and his comeback imo maybe that was his voice at the end?

I think it was Glenn, asking for help....

So now we know the voice on the walkie talkie wasn't Glenn... Who was it?

I thought it was a great cliffhanger to kick start the mid-season hiatus. Stupid Sam.

The Walking Dead dropped a new cliffhanger at the end of its latest episode, this one leaving viewers wondering who is the person asking for "help" on the other end of Daryl's walkie talkie. Star Norman Reedus shut down the popular theory that the voice is Glenn's during IGN's interview with him, which means it's time to start theorizing on who actually could be out there looking for assistance.

1. Rick
Rick was in a pretty bad place at the end of "Thank You" as walkers surrounded the camper, and though he reappeared surrounded by the undead at the end of "Now," we have no idea how he managed to escape that near-death experience and get back to Alexandria. Since the first half of Season 6 hasn't entirely been linear, it could be that this "help" scene happened in between the events of episodes 3 and 5 and that Daryl, Sasha and Abraham head off to offer assistance.

2. Jesus
News broke back in September that Luck actor Tom Payne would be playing popular comics character Jesus, but we still haven't met him on the show. With The Walking Dead introducing new groups of people left and right (hello, Dwight and the Saviors) it could be that this is how the series is bringing Jesus into the fold. Heck, while we're at it, we can strap on our tin foil hats and speculate that maybe Jesus showed up to Glenn's rescue, and so this cry for "help" actually does tie back to that storyline.

3. Spencer or Someone at Alexandria
If we don't flash back to find out what happened to Rick between that shot of him in the camper and the show instead just picks back up with him at Alexandria, the storyline could just keep going forward and someone in that compound could be looking for help. Did the wall break, as the end of "Now" teased, and are they overrun by the horde? Considering that Spencer didn't seem to confident in his defender role, he could be the one reaching out on the walkie talkie.

4. One of the Saviors
The two people who stole Daryl's motorcycle and crossbow, Honey and "D" (aka Dwight, according to Reedus), headed off into the distance at the end of "Always Accountable" with the echo of Daryl's you'll-be-sorry sentiment ringing in their ears. It's all but confirmed that these people and the other folks seen in the woods are the Saviors, and they could be either 1. in genuine trouble and trying to contact someone on the walkie talkie or 2. trying to trap Daryl and whoever else he's with because they know they're out there. Either way, The Walking Dead certainly isn't done with that storyline.

I always anticipate that at least a secondary character (if not main character) will get killed in the premiere or finale, yet still this show never fails to shock me. I won't miss the ones who are goners but they still could have survived. The one who suffered the consequences of other people's poor actions, I just can't believe that happened especially since that person has become one of my favourite characters. I'll never believe that any character on this show is safe (from the writers) again.

 

[kokobombon]

^are you talking about Carl? I saw a comic book illustration a few weeks ago where he wears an eye patch and I thought nothing of it, as if it was another item he wears like his hat, it didn´t click until I saw the scene. I was spoiled and didn´t even notice it

I´m glad that those characters are gone, they were so annoying but I was surprised at how fast that scene developed!

 

[saucer-like]

Haha yes I'm talking about him. I read a few of the comics ages ago and only a few details stuck in my mind. So I was completely shocked thinking they had just killed a major character halfway through the episode because there was no way he'd survive that kind of injury. I suppose getting shot in the face isn't as bad as getting shot through the head lol. I do blame Rick though as I feel that he let his guard down too much with that family because of his attraction to Jessie. He already almost got himself + his kids exiled from the town and got lucky that the abusive husband went crazy in front of everyone, then thought nothing of how the dead man's son might feel about the whole thing.

I'm glad these characters are gone too , they were so cringey. However the scene was a bit disturbing. I didn't really like how it was filmed since I wasn't sure if it was really happening or if it was an hallucination. The inhabitants reaction was amazing though. One of the greatest moments of the show.

I'd say the mid-season premiere was one of the best episodes of the series so far. I loved every minute of it (and usually there is a 5 minute window in an episode where I pick up my phone and browse because it's dragging on a bit). Hopefully the season continues this way!

Although I have been watching TWD faithfully I have slowly gotten "bored" with it. Essentially I don't like it when they kill off main characters like Hershel & Tyreese. But the latest episode was great - finally! I'm back on board but am a bit worried about the calm before the storm....

 

[kokobombon]

What a waste of an episode with the Benny Hill-ish lame chase and all that... a lot of fan service but I dont fangirl over Daryl so I got nothing of that whole interaction. Im curious about the new guy though... but it annoyed me the pairing up of you know who, people are allowed to be single... dont need to create yet another romance imo.

 

[zacatecas570]

That new romance is so unnecessary, more tension and more pregnant women, I don't think they even have safe sex.

Plus I'm very curious about this new guy too, he seems to be good.

 

[kokobombon]

Daryl doesnt want him in the group because he's competition, the new bada$$...

 

[lstone15]

I read that the new guy will save Glenn's life.

 

[saucer-like]

Honestly, I had always wondered if they were attracted to each other. Well, now I know! Not because platonic relationships can't exist, it's just that they became so close... in a domestic way. With the time jump at the beginning of the episode, I totally thought they were going to kiss and it would be revealed that they had already become a couple. At least the show didn't hit us over the head for like 2 seasons with them making googly eyes at each other or out-of-character flirting.

Surprisingly, I'm more intrigued by this development than I thought I would be ever since it had been speculated as a possibility (mostly by "shippers" but it did seem like something that could happen). I'm not going to worry about it ruining the characters because romantic relationships on cult shows are almost always a Pandora's Box. There's just no going back and it will change the dynamics but I can only hope that the writers don't drop the ball.

 

[Wolkfolk]

I'm so happy that pairing happened !!! Yes I'm one of those who've been shipping it forever but I think Scott Gimble did a brilliant job at building it up and to make it happen was perfect. I don't know if you guys watch Talking Dead as well but the actors reactions to the situation and the script were so cute.


I really like this week episode, yes it was a bit silly at times but honestly this show can be so tenseful and always keeps me on edge it felt good to chill out a little bit and see some mundane things.

Can't wait to learn more about Jesus , he's such an intriguing character and seems to be a VERY fierce survivor. Also am I the only who sensed a little bit of sexual tension between Daryl and Jesus

 

[lstone15]

Hahahah, I also had the same vibes.

 

[ad030817]

i didn't understand Abraham's "americanism" - I had to watch The Talking Dead to understand them!! These quieter episodes are worrisome for the storm that is a comin!
