The Walking Dead - Season 3.5

Rick is really kicking it around, he's a moron if he does it though. There are certain instances where I could see letting one person go for the overall good of the group. Most likely Merle. <br /><br />Michonne's more sane than anybody else in the group. More valuable, skills-wise, than everybody other than Hershel. Got to keep that man alive for his med skills! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And contrast Michonne. I know it's just what the writers decided on as an interpersonal conflict/tension thang in the plot, but who in their right mind would even consider for a second dumping her from the group after all the ability she's demonstrated, and the help she's given to the group?

 

- OS

 

I could see Rick's initial belief that's she's rogue. It would be hard to trust any new person in a world like that and from his point of view she was partnered with Andrea (who is a flake) and then she just disappeared on during the woodberry raid. They've really had limited interaction in the show so I could also see him debating on saving his cherished group by giving her up to the governor.

 

As the viewer however, we know that she's strong, tactical minded and reliable... so we'll see.

 

***edit***

Though in the long run, i don't see him giving her up to the governor.

I'm almost wondering if Merle isn't a trojan horse planted by the governor. Make him an outcast knowing that he'll wind up with the other group.

You might be right but i have this bad feeling that merle may die, and i like merle, in one of the next two episodes probably saving daryl some how and "not leaving again" as daryl put it earlier in the season

 

 

then again as hipower and i have discussed i have some really different views as well but i am gonna keep those to myself cause i dont think anyone would believe what i think is gonna happen.

[BigK]

Like him or hate him, Merle had the right mindset for survival. He made it off that rooftop in Atl and sobered up. He hooked up w/ the gov and even found a niche in their community. He'll do right by Daryll, but otherwise...it's anything goes to survive.

 

Although, in the previews it shows him giving Rick an ear full for even considering giving up Michonne. 

[NoBanStan]

Oh by the way. Anyone else suspect the governor got scratched/bit? He seems to have a limp now and he kept covering his midsection with his coat after his return to woodberry.

i was totally thinking the same thing i dont know how he got out there after that hoard pushed him back like that

I suspected the same thing, but everyone else who's been scratched/bit turns quickly. By the time he has Andrea int hat chair, it would have been way longer than anyone has ever lasted without turning. Does he have super anti-zombie powers or did Milton give him some special elixir?

could be where the "tea" comes back into the storyline.

I think Rick still remembers the rooftop in Atlanta vividly and doesn't and won't ever trust him again.

If you'll recall, dude at ceda talked about the people reanimating at different speeds, some where minutes, some were hours.. of course, they were dead. But the fever may effect people differently. The guy who was with Dale early on lasted awhile though he was eat up with fever.

 

That and again, it's a show... they could easily let him go days before turning.

"dude at ceda"? What's that?

 

 

I guess everyone we've seen get bitten since the guy in Dale's camper have either been shot shortly thereafter (Carl's mom), turned quickly (Shane), or got their leg chopped off (hee hee). So, I had forgotten how long some people lasted early on. They conditioned me to expect it sooner, as if things had ramped up, and I fell for it, I guess.

Jenner. As showing the xray video of his wife he tells the group that the times for reanimation vary greatly.

[Glenn]

Is it just me or are walkers getting easier to kill rekill. Seems like their heads pop like a rotten tomato now. Even a pocket knife to the eye does them in. Maybe they are starting to rot.

[runningfree]

 

We never did see Jim turn if I remember right.  Tied him to a tree and the group heading to Hotlanta.

He was bite at the campsite and traveled with them for awhile.

Did you notice how the gov killed one by just dropping the weight of a shovel on its head. No effort at all, his arm was out straight when he did it.

Also remember that after Andrea's sister (Amy) got bitten and died, Andrea sat on the ground with the body until she reaminated.  Being that the group was eating dinner when the attack happened, it couldn't have been all that late when Amy was killed.  Further, being that the sun was fully up and it appeared to be somewhere around noon when Amy finally did stir, again I would have to guess that Andrea sat there with the body all night and nearly half the next day.  It appeared, then, like it took something like 16 to 18 hours for Amy to reanimate - and that was after she was dead.

 

Remember, too, that although Jim was eventually burning up with fever, it took some time before that happened.  He helped bury their dead, burn the bodies of the walkers and continued digging graves alone for some time before the group managed an intervention - all before he started showing signs of being sick.

 

All that said, I don't think that the Governor has been bitten or that he will turn before the conflict with Rick's group.  For the storyline, I think they need to face him as an all too human threat and that he needs to die as a human, however mentally warped, either by the hands of Rick's group or his own people.

[BigK]

Maybe it's different for turning after being bitten vs turning when killed. I need to brush up on my zombie handbook. All I was remembering is that after Rick stabs Shane, he turns w/in minutes and Carl shot him. Does the handbook say there's a difference? LOL

I don't know.  Like I said, Amy WAS killed and it took all night and the next day before she turned.

 

Of course, it could have something to do with the level of exposure to the virus.  When Amy was killed, it didn't look like she had been around all that many walkers, etc. beforehand.  Shane, on the other hand, had been wading hip-deep in them a couple of times before he was killed.

Amy was bittin in the neck too IIRC.  I would suspect if bitten in a vein you would get sick quicker...but this is all moot.  The Gov is not going to die of a fever.  Come on. 

 

In the comic he gets eaten I think.  Been a while.  Of course the show has gone way off the comic too, so I don't think it matters what happened in the book.

never thought of this good point

[Oh Shoot]

Youse guys are way over-thinking this stuff .. it's a zombie show.

[Blitzen]

Since Rick is a main character I don't think the writers would have him give Michonne up to the governor. Audience would no longer like him and I think that would hurt the show. I'm passed ready for Rick to get his #!*# together. He really needs to get some sleep!

it is just something fun to talk about. for us it might be interesting to think about what might happen is all. i mean if it really crawls on you that bad why even post anything just go to another thread? it is an honest question not intended to be smart aleck. i mean this is the walking dead 3.5 thread and we are here to talk about the walking dead season 3.5. it is a place for us to come and discuss what we enjoy. i dont think anything i have said here has been out of line but if it is i apologize up front i just dont really care for people who like to crash the party for everyone who is actually enjoying themselves.

[Mike.357]

yep way over thinking it.
