Brainstorming Season 3 start?
So first of all this is just me letting my brain wander and discuss ideas about the beginning to season 3, no-one will be criticized, just want to exchange ideas with each other and have a discussion!
Here was my idea of a cool start:
So because season 2 spent forever introducing new characters only to have them die, I really dont want that in season 3! So I was thinking of having a dark "2 years later" text fade in with sounds of gunfire, shouting and screaming, then having clem slowly awake with her pov on our screen, eyelids slowly opening until she realizes whats happening, Wellingtons under attack, zombies have breached the town, she shouts whats happening, people with her tell her how wellington has been breached by walkers and is under threat, they have to leave! she grabs AJ and runs , seeing people being torn apart in the street, after a few close calls an after saving a couple people from imminent death, she and those she saved escape and meet up outside the walls, she tells them to cover themselves in zombie guts and they get through the remaining horde, they set up a fire later on and introduce themselves. I'm talking about 4 people tops here, a small close-knit band of survivors, not useless "luckys" but hardened survivors so they all play a big role and arent gonna be picked off so quick like season 2.
Or the start could be clem around a bonfire explaining to a few survivors how she escaped, we hear her voice say "how i escaped?" then her pov fades in of her awakening and all the same stuff happens as it did above, but she has no-one with her and luckily meets up with a couple others who fought their way out then after her story finishes, (we wouldn't have her narrating as we'd be shown whats happened so during her story we dont hear her voice as her story is being shown to us, if that makes any sense), someone exclaims "holy shit" then whos that you have there? pointing to AJ, clem explains and the other few survivors introduce themselves, hopefully one somehow being Mike but thats wishful thinking.
The reason this start is my most favourable is because it cuts out the ridiculous time wasted whilst being introduced to characters you know are just gonna die. Possibly have half an episode showing what it was like living in Wellington, a brief introduction to the most important people of the town, how it works and then have it cut to my story above, something like that. I feel it'd be an awesome way to start the series. Having all characters move up to Wellington was the plan anyway, Jane wanted to go back to get food for the baby an then go back up, so it'd be nice to see them start off by showing how clem ended up there if they didnt choose to walk with kenny, then start introducing characters and then have chaos start. That'd be a kickass way to start a series and the group clem would end up with by the end of episode 1 would be survivors, all the no-good survivors would have died at wellington so clems new group would be strong and have some great individuals.
Would also accommodate for all endings to season 2, if she leaves with kenny we could have her narrating it saying how they came back after a few months, Kenny had died and they had no other option (possibly showing Kenny's death),
if you left with jane you'd hear clem narrate saying how they stayed at Carvers for a while on supplies and then made their way back up north and joined with Wellington, Jane could then be killed off in the start of season 3 by saving clem, clem could be just about to get bit but jane save her and then in turn get bit protecting clem.
If clem was all aloe at the end of season 2 then its an easy option by just saying she made it to Wellington to her own
This would allow for a fresh, clean slate for season 3!
I know its a far shot having a series start like this but its just my thoughts on the perfect way for them to start season 3, its not me telling them how it should be done but would be really awesome, what are you guys' thoughts on how you think season 3 should start?
Comments
when I was talking about clem telling her story it could be about 6-7 years into her getting to Wellington, if you went alone you are alone at the start, however if you went with Jane or Kenny, they will save you during the escape but end up dying themselves in one last action to show their care for you! not got it down to a tee but i think its a good concept so far
What I think:
Alone:
Clementine and AJ bump into Christa, they end up heading to Wellington.
Howe's (with family):
Howe's Hardware Store becomes full, Jane persuades Clementine and AJ that it's time they get going, Randy, Patricia and Gill go with them.
Howe's (without family):
Howe's Hardware Store is taken over by the family and other Survivors that were turned down, the other Survivors force Clementine, Jane and AJ to leave, along with Randy, Patricia and Gill for sticking up for them.
Wellington:
An unknown illness spreads around killing members of Wellington, Clementine realises that Lilly is the leader of Wellington, and she, Clementine and Edith along with some other Survivors escape Wellington and head down north to find somewhere warm.
With Kenny:
Clementine, AJ and Kenny find a place to stay temporarily, however, it becomes too dangerous for them to live in, they decide to head back down north where it's warm since there's nowhere else for them to go.
In episode 2 of Season 3, all their paths meet at a cross-roads
Did you just say to"Head Back Down North"?
hahaha
I was just about to say that!
