Spoiler alert! TV show season 5 premier

edited October 2014 in The Walking Dead

I've just watched the new episode of the TV show and I have some questions stucked in my head.

In Terminus they were clearly eating other people.
(I'm not a reader of the comics, so I don't know how much time it takes to turn to a walker. But in the game it's a pretty short time.)

So here comes my first question: What was that "pig-slaughtering scene"? If you kill "the meat gets tainted" like Danny St. John said. So.. If they wanted to eat them then why would they do it that way?

2nd question: Eugene's cure: He only said that he knows the way to eliminate all the walkers but not the virus! That means the living would be still infected.

3rd question: Do you think Tyreese killed that man? Because I don't believe it.

And the last one: What's with Morgan? I don't remember what happened when Rick saw him last time. He seemed a bit crazy, what could happen next?

Share with me your thoughts guys, i'm curious! :)

  • All I have to say is that just this first episode of twd made the entire second season of twdg look like child's play. It was fucking intense.

  • Is there a forum for the t.v. Show?

  • No

  • It was fucking epic. Best season premiere since the pilot itself.

    As for your questions, I'm not sure on the first two of them. But I do believe Tyreese killed that man and I think Morgan is no longer crazy. He seemed pretty well put.

  • 2nd question: Eugene's cure: He only said that he knows the way to eliminate all the walkers but not the virus! That means the living would be still infected

    There's no cure. Eugene is just a teacher, not a scientist. He tricked Rosita and Abraham so they can help him to find a safe place.

    Danny was wrong, or the lore is different in the TV show than it is in the game.

    2nd question: Eugene's cure: He only said that he knows the way to eliminate all the walkers but not the virus! That means the living would be still infected.

    I don't believe for a second that he has a cure, but :) I'm a skeptic.

    3rd question: Do you think Tyreese killed that man? Because I don't believe it.

    Yes I believe him. I'll be disappointed in him if he lied, as the others would have taken care of it for him, and the fucker deserved to die.

    And the last one: What's with Morgan? I don't remember what happened when Rick saw him last time. He seemed a bit crazy, what could happen next?

    Eh... I don't remember. Didn't he die?

  • Wow.. If it turns out that he lied it might cause a shitstorm.

    How'd you guys react to Carol/Daryl and Rick & Carl/Judith scenes? For me, it was damn heart-warming to see them happy.

  • He's a teacher? I have a terrible memory :D

    1. Well I think they meant the tainted meat is when they turn. So pretty sure those crazy people got the head or whatever that makes it turn right away. Also maybe they meant bitten people.
    2. It's all bullshit. There's no cure, Kirkland has said it. And I'm the comics Eugene is lying. Also you can see it on his face he don't know shit, he is just using big words. It's classified"
    3. maybe, I think he maybe did him nasty, but hopefully he did
    4. theyre bringing him to kill him. Just like the comics. At least I think so. He sea more stable ready to fuck shit up

    1) Drama. Plus, I don't know why they drain the blood. In Korea there is blood sausage, and blood soup and they're both delicious (especially the soup)

    2) Well, without getting to into it, to my understanding, there isn't really any way of killing a virus - instead we create antibodies to take them out or inhibit their spread. Also, my immediate thought was a war of good zombies versus bad zombies. Then I thought of White Zombie.., because metal.

    3) An absolutely morally rehensible scene. Tyresse screaming "I won't" as I he kills somebody only perpetuates the 'no means yes' myth. [sarcasm]. Nope, he's dead. Cutty keeps being type-cast into the sweat, victim-of-circumstance type roles, but he does follow those circumstances.

  • It was so sweet, I had a tiny teardrop of happiness.

    Daryl was extremely happy to see Carol... :D

  • Honestly this episode got me pumped, Im waiting for them to all learn about Tara being with the gov. I mean Rick knows who shes is so its only a matter of time

  • But why bash someone's brain in if he could slice his throat instead? But I get your point.

    ( blood soup? o_o )

  • This made me go to google for some answer's about eating people.

    I thought it was interesting but the bottom line is, eating people can very likely cause a disease that could kill you.. There's more to it than that but it's possible!

  • I don't know.. in Terminus they didn't destroy the brain and I think the body immediately starts to rot when it dies. So that would make them sick if they ate it. This is the reason why the St. John brothers kept Mark alive.

    They beat the head in to knock them out the same way a cattle hit with in the back of the head to stun them before being killed (that thing Javier Bardem used in "No Country for Old Men")

    It's not blood soup so much as soup with coagulated blood put in it (those are the red-grey chunks)

  • It was nice to see them smilling for once.

    We both know that one of them is going to die soon anyway. It's The Walking Dead. They can't be happy !

  • I see. But I meant Tyreese, he had the knife but ended up bashing the dude's face in.. probably.

    But thanks for explaining the bat :D

    well the tv show and game are two different lores (the game is canon with the comic only) so they might have changed it or danny was just wrong about it

    2nd question: Eugene's cure: He only said that he knows the way to eliminate all the walkers but not the virus! That means the living would be still infected.

    yea he does not have a cure

    3rd question: Do you think Tyreese killed that man? Because I don't believe it.

    idk i think he just beat him

    And the last one: What's with Morgan? I don't remember what happened when Rick saw him last time. He seemed a bit crazy, what could happen next?

    well morgan is gonna go with rick and the others to washington and things will happen that i won't say cause you know spoilers

  • True but. Well idk cuz in the comics they also kept dale alive like mark. So maybe like they were doing pouring some shit(bleach?) on the body when they were cutting him up. Idk that's the show, it's clearly not affecting them

    Huh, well I hated the premier.

    None of the Main Characters rarely ever die, it's usually a bunch of people who nobody cares about. It's been 5 goddamn seasons KILL SOMEONE ALREADY. I also hate the fact how utterly inconsistent the characters have been and they always get rid of the compelling characaters.

    I find it funny that my favorite characters of the show have been Carol, Morgan, that Scientist guy at the end of Season 1, Shane and Merle. Shane and Merle were awesome because they stood out as characters. Shane ended up being right about a lot of things and he bit the bullet far too early. Merle you could make a case for, maybe he'd run his cause maybe not.

    Carol I really like because she has probably had the strongest character development of anyone else in the series.

    I hate Daryl, his character is so inconsistent, his development is all over the place and seems to be regressing.

    I really hate Glenn and Maggie, they seemingly have zero onscreen chemistry together. Glenn I started off liking but his development also regressed. Maggie's character is really bland which sucks because Lauren Cohen (The actor who plays her) was unbelievably awesome and charismatic on Supernatural.

    I don't buy that it was "Super intense" because not for one second did I believe any of the Main Characters would die. As opposed to TWD Season 2 which you said was made to look like "Childs play" compared to the show. Yeah remember how Luke died? Lukes death from Season 2 is perhaps one of my favorites from the whole series, because it was such an unusual death for a Main Character to have. He didn't die some heroic death, he didn't even get bit... He fell into the ice lake and died. The show would never do something like that.

    I really want to like the show, but the writing from Season 2-4 has been so awful. I liked the Season 5 premier as a single standalone episode, but it built horrible to carry an entire season as they literally blew up the one place that was built up forever... IN THE FIRST EPISODE! /rant

    All I have to say is that just this first episode of twd made the entire second season of twdg look like child's play. It was fucking intense.

    Did you forget Hershel?

    Well, I completely disagree with the last season being awful and ending the Terminus storyline, or at least the location, quickly. I think it was more about getting the group back toghether than, I don't even know what they could have done to drag it out without us watching a bunch of random people getting killed and eaten while our group cowers in fear.

  • I'm sure Tyreese killed that guy. I think that was a turning point for him. He hates killing and resisted it all season, but he was finally pushed when that creep threatened the baby. Now he knows he can do what needs to be done. As for Morgan, I'm sure he's still crazy, lol. I'm still glad to see him.

    It was fucking epic. Best season premiere since the pilot itself. As for your questions, I'm not sure on the first two of them. But I do believe Tyreese killed that man and I think Morgan is no longer crazy. He seemed pretty well put.

    They were both wonderful, especially Carl and Rick seeing Judith alive.

  • The episode was surprisingly good actually

  • Maybe the writers of the Tv show don't speculate as much as the fans :D

  • I agree it was awesome. Watching the second half of season 4 was such a drag for me. But with this episode hope has returned :D

  • I watched it yesterday. The reunions were very touching.

    And Carol is the ultimate badass.

  • When they brought Superman back for the mid season finale I stopped watching it. Once people told me what happened I started watching again though. I have to say that the episodes with Superman back in them were far worse than the episodes after the mid season finale. The first episode of season 5 has surpassed basically all of season 4 for me though.

  • Looking at him run like that, I can't help but picture him going, "woop woop woop woop"

  • Headcanon warning!

    I think Danny was wrong about the meat, or when he was saying that, he was just trying to save his skin. If the person never turned, their meat should be safe to eat. I think the whole "meat gets tainted" thing was a lie by Danny.
