The Walking Dead on AMC (Read 2911 times)

So it's pretty apparent now on The Walking Dead that whenever the group gets a prospective new black male member, the current "token" becomes doomed to death. Out went T-Dog, in came Oskar. And now out goes Oskar, in comes (Wire guy?).

 

We noticed this, too.  I wonder if we'll see the father/son from season 1 ever again...?

Handle Bar Mustache guy annoys me a bit.. they should kill him off soon.

 I thought Carol handled him well.  (Well, this IS interesting... No it's not.)

 

I think one of the best moments was a subtle one.  There was an instant where it appeared that the Gov's "daughter" was responding to him and calming.  Then you (and he) realize that she's just shifted her attention to a bowl of raw meat (Mr Coleman?).  Nicely done.

 

I was surprised that the Gov threw Merle under the bus, but a little reading in the Internets reminded me that Merle had lied about killing Michonne -- Gov was no doubt a lottle steamed at ol' Merle for that.  It does provide a twist that I didn't see coming -- I thought we'd see Daryl Motherf*****g Dixon have to make a choice between his crew and his bro, but now we're possible heading towards a very uncomfortable alliance between Merle and the prison gang.  Interesting.

 

I, too, am bothered by the Law of Conservation of Black Male Characters on Walking Dead.  Tyrese is apparently a popular comic book character (don't tell me what happens to him in the comics), so hopefully they'll do more with him than with T-Dog and Oscar.

It's like they're wearing red shirts...

Tyreese and his crew seem to have retained a bit more humanity than Rick's crew. And Rick seems to be fading (hallucinations, etc), so I wonder how leader-Tyreese and leader-Rick will mesh together. Also, was it supposed to be common viewer knowledge that there is an easy way into the prison? Or is that a new twist?

If I remember correctly, they couldn't determine how walkers kept getting in.  Remember, they thought it was the prisoners that let them in.   Clearly, the entire prison hasn't been explored and they don't know about it yet.  I don't think it was very obvious though. 

 

 

Crazy random thought.  In the early days of the zombie plague, what if someone went zombie on a long, transoceanic plane flight?  By the time it landed, it's a plane full of walkers.  Bad-ass.

 They address this in the book World War Z.  Good reading!

New group at the prison, wonder how they'll be woven into the bloody drama.

 

 

Nevermind, I should have read more posts...somebody already mentioned the token black guy. 

So, when does the next episode come out?
