NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)to be honest. I have a feeling somebody will die this week, and maybe each of the final 2 weeks... like we had in season 2 with Dale dying, then Shane dying, and then the farm and several people dying (Hershel's wife and I think one or two others)

Jail is complete. looks good.

GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)it's more age appropriate - Michael Cudlitz is 51, Christan Serratos is 25.
Sasha is only 31. Abraham likes them pretty one for sure.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)- I'll be 50 in December - if I were single, I'd love to be able to choose between a stunning 25 year old and a beautiful 31 year old.
In reality, even though I'm in decent shape for my age and not ugly, there is no way women like that would be interested in me unless I was rich and/or famous.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Studs our age are high on the desirability scale to younger women once they wised up. Curiously, I always dated & eventually married down the age ladder. I'm sure being musically inclined & my chart topping good looks account for 50% of my attractiveness.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)if I was single and it was the ZA, I would not turn down pouring the Bisquick with either Sasha or Rosita...

Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)I watched the shows, and followed along here, but just had nothing to offer. It sucks when life gets in the way of TWD on DU.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I wonder if either of them die?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)meaning, Eugene is in trouble...
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Daryl. And he knows everything, or so he says.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Meaning his audition for the show was so positive that they created the "Daryl" character just to include him in the show. He also moves a LOT of TWD merchandise for AMC. Daryl is a major, major cash cow & his IP is owned by AMC.
IMO, I think Daryl is going to survive the Zpocalypse.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)the crew from before Alexandria seems almost invulnerable. Only a "big" death of one of the originals is going to really establish Negan as a new level of threat. They've had enough foreshadowing/symbolism that Daryl, Glenn, Carol, Morgan, Maggie or Abraham could be the one to get it.
That said, I don't think Abraham dying would have the emotional impact of losing Daryl, Carol or Glenn. And, I think since he went Zen master, Morgan's popularity has plunged as well.
My guess is that either Morgan or Carol dies this coming week, and either Glenn or Daryl get it in the finale.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Carol already took a hike, so she's safe. Unless the Saviors grab her & bring her back just to execute her as an example like the Governor. Don't think the show-runners would do that trick again though.
Morgan, just built the jail. Seems like that's foreshadowing what happens after the war. IMO, Morgan is being built up as a polar opposite to the Rick-tyranny (Xavier/Magneto). I think Morgan is safe.
Abraham is "happy" now. He's got a new squeeze & he and Eugene have reconciled= Time to Die!
Daryl is AMC approved indestructible & will probably outlast TWD, to get his own "Saul" series where he wanders around the Z-world getting into adventures like Kane from Kung-Fu.
Glenn. Is 100% assuredly going to meet "Lucille" & she will kiss him goodbye.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)gossip came from, but he seemed really certain about it. He just got into the show in the past year, and he and his teenaged son are rabid fans.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)for the season finale
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)something horrible happens and one is obviously dead- but they leave it as a cliffhanger.
GOLGO 13
(1,681 posts)Norman is reportedly getting a lot of attention/interest for possible movie roles outside TWD. He's considered "hot property" now, so sure if a crazy good deal comes along, then yeah why not jump. Norman's star is most definitely rising.
I could easily see him cast in DC's LOBO movie.

(46,698 posts)Eugene may be the one that gets sacrificed, though, Denise's loss is going to hurt a little bit. I thought for sure that having two MDs was one too many.

We know how he got the crossbow back.
Baitball Blogger
(46,698 posts)It was the one ridden by the Negan follower that was caught by Rick and Co. Right before they learned that Carol and Maggie were caught.

(90,762 posts)Carol's a fucking idiot. I might change that opinion after some thought, but as for now...fucking idiot.
Morgan is going to put Rick in his cell or something equally as stupid.
Poor Denise, but I already knew it was going to be her (spoiler from a relative). Props to the writers for making it seem like it would play out like in the comics (Abraham/Eugene), giving that suspense of knowing what's coming then the switch up.
Good on Eugene!
Fucking Dwight.
Poor Daryl.
Good on Abraham and Sasha.
Sigh.
Baitball Blogger
(46,698 posts)Morgan's mercy brought on the wolves.
Daryl's mercy is responsible for Dwight, and the death of Denise.
Carol, who has shown no mercy, is now victimized by the hard choices she has had to make.
Rick gave mercy to Jesus, and that looked like a mistake, but it looks like it's turning around.
Glenn's mercy gave him a dumpster's chance to survive.
Really, no sweeping lesson can come out of this.

(1,681 posts)She's also ridiculously popular. I think she's going to disappear for a bit.
Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)but, maybe everything caught up to her at once - Karen and David, Terminus, the Wolves and then Sam?

justiceischeap
(14,040 posts)as Tara's love interest. In the TV world that usually means one of them (lesbians) will die after a declaration of love or a sex scene (that's what usually happens and did so in this case). As soon as Tara told her she loved her, I knew she was doomed--I hoped otherwise cause they needed a doctor but alas, not to happen...
But yeah, Merritt brings so much to her characters, even in short roles--she's what I like to call a "quiet" actor, her silences saying so much. I remember her catching my attention on L&O: Criminal Intent as a crazy nanny.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I figured either her or Tara were definitely doomed when Denise said she'd tell Tara she loved her when they met again... just like Ned Stark would tell Jon Snow about his mother the next time they met on Game of Thrones.

How long does the comic last?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)The appearance of Negan was in issue #100 of the comics. I think they're closing in on issue #150 now.
While I don't think it's slow, I do think the show is running the risk of repeating the same type of plot over & over again - group finds apparent safety, but then bad guys disrupt their plans...
