The Walking Dead: All Seasons (DON'T POST SPOILERS)

Anyone care to analyze why Beth went that route, i know the comment dawn said obviously set her off, but why did she take it that harshly. Was it just a hacked writing job by the writers to add some flair to the mid season finale or was there some method to it.
Method. I mean basically she was kidnapped. Made to work, had to kill people to survive and the only person she had a bond with escaped. She believed what he was telling her about going home and making it out and all of the other stuff he was saying and it gave her hope too. They were finally about to be free when he was going to sacrifice his freedom for hers and basically she didn't want Dawn to be proven right.
They just had the exchange where Dawn said he'd be back and Beth said no he wouldn't she wanted to make sure that he wouldn't.
Blew da back of her head all da way off.
If you think they jumped the shark you should just stop watching it now, remember this is a show based off a currently running COMIC BOOK. The shit is going to get really far fetched and Robert Kirkman explained that the second half is going to be very different. And this is coming from a religious walking dead comic reader. Beth dying isnt jumping the shark
, shocking yes.Like kirkman said in the talking dead show you cant have everybody alive in a Apocalypse, people got to die. I had a feeling somebody important was going to die. I was expecting Carol not Beth.
They just randomly talked about putting it in the story but declined to do it. They said they will just be adding a gay character from the comic book but passed on making Daryl gay.
They said this tonight on Talking Dead.

Far from jumping the shark. Although the hospital storyline has not been my favorite, they ended it pretty well.
I'm happy that they'll be on the move again in Feb.

Word. If they end up doing what they did to Carl in the comic into the show, it would be pretty unbelieveable. The show has not "jumped the shark" lol.
Yea i guess that exchange was it, i thought it could be something more than that, but perhaps as you said she was that moved by him sacrificing himself for her that comment put her over the top.
It was all for nothing!
Great episode, knew she would do SOMETHING otherwise why put the scissors in the cast? was not expecting that though. It was just reflex too, somebody stab you, you shoot and it's over with. No idea what Beth was thinking, she was home free she could have went home and been with her family.
Heartbreaking shit for Maggie.. it feels like months because the show comes on once a week but they haven't been separated that long. Just think about how quickly Maggie and them made it back to the church, and how quickly they got to the Hospital. If it were a true journey they wouldn't have made it back to either place before Rick and them even went through with the exchange.
Everybody is going to be colder, that trend just keeps on happening. Once somebody they care about goes the group just gets colder and colder. Great episode too bad it took them a month to get to this point and now it's going on Vacation until next year
I think Beth new she wasn't gonna let her go. She told Beth we save you you belong to us until you repay you debt by working in the hospital. You see she wasn't gonna let the everyone hates Chris dude go and she wasn't gonna let Beth go.
This!
I actually appreciated the hospital storyline the deeper it got, and was more intrigued when Grimes crew started capturing officers and you were getting to know more about them. I thought this could have went on longer than it did.
You can tell the "now generation" or the "microwave babies" on the board. The show runs for nearly 20 episodes a season, why would you expect shit to move so fast and on to the next thing so quickly? Especially in an apocalyptic world? The characters have no real place to actually be, so the writers come up with shit for them to do. Cause if the walking dead was true to life, We would still be at the prison bored out of our mind with the lack of shit to do.
No one is going to mention when Daryl went all "rick rage" on the officer with out hesitation shooting that bitch in the head? Ok.
the mid season of this show was pretty good...Beth got drop...
..cant wait until Feb for the new eps!!..

Good episode & lead-in to the break for a few months.

Well how else would a black man be saved? We all know that only a white person can save a black person.It was all for nothing!

Diversity On 'The Walking Dead' Wasn't Always Handled Well
http://www.npr.org/2014/11/28/366655295/diversity-on-the-walking-dead-wasnt-always-handled-well
For The Walking Dead, it was less like a conversation between two characters and more like a mini manifesto.
The moment came during an episode called "Four Walls and Roof," as Bob Stookey spoke to hero Rick Grimes about a central theme this season: keeping your humanity in midst of a zombie apocalypse.
"We push ourselves to let things go, and then we let some more go and some more ... and pretty soon there's things we can't get back," he tells Rick. "And if you let too much go along the way, that's not gonna work."
"This is the real world," Rick insists.
"Nah," Bob answers. "This is a nightmare. And nightmares end."
It was a short, sweet statement on what the whole series is about. But I noticed something else: There were five characters involved in this scene.
And Rick Grimes was the only white person among them.
In fact, The Walking Dead has quietly assembled one of the most ethnically diverse casts on a top-rated TV show. When it airs its midseason finale Sunday, the show will have at least seven major non-white characters, including Michonne, a sword-swinging African American heroine who is also one of the program's most popular characters.
"She's the person who will step in, at those moments when someone really needs to step in," says Danai Gurira, the actress who plays Michonne, explaining her character on AMC's Walking Dead aftershow, Talking Dead. "She steps in and goes and helps to get the medicine, she steps in and stabs The Governor when he goes and tries to kill Rick. That's more her purpose, I think."
But the characters of color on The Walking Dead weren't always so plentiful or well-crafted.
When the show first started, it had a great character of color in Korean American Glenn Rhee. But critics like me argued its two African American characters weren't enough to reflect the diversity of its setting around Atlanta, where the population is more than 50 percent black.
And the racial conflicts on the show were often cartoonish, as shown by a fight between racist white Southerner Merle Dixon and a black man, Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas, kicked off with Dixon declared "that'll be the day ... the day I take orders from a n - - - - -."
Fierce, sword-swinging Michonne is one of the show's most popular characters. i

For a while, T-Dog was the show's only black character, given little backstory and few lines. He even complained about his situation, but only when he was delirious from an infection.
"I'm the one black guy ... you realize how precarious that makes my situation?" he says to a fellow survivor, describing how he felt threatened by three other characters in their group. "I'm talking about two good ol' boy cowboy sheriffs and a redneck whose brother cut off his own hand because I dropped a key. Who in that scenario do you think is going to be the first to get lynched?"
The situation changed when The Walking Dead TV show began adding popular characters of color from the graphic novel that inspired it. That includes Michonne and Tyreese, who often acts as the show's moral center.
At first, even Michonne seemed underwritten. Tight-lipped and shut down by PTSD, she took a while to warm up to her fellow survivors and reveal more of herself in ways that showcased the character.
Now, there are even more actors of color on the show, including former Everybody Hates Chris star Tyler James Williams and The Wire alum Seth Gilliam, playing a priest named Gabriel who is wracked with guilt after locking his congregation out of the church in order to ensure his own survival.
The show doesn't talk overtly about race anymore. But it does look a lot more like America, in ways that allow everyone to see themselves as the hero — or antihero.
These aren't just tokens. They are fully fleshed-out characters with their own histories, storylines and goals. And they have come along as the Walking Dead has become the most popular series on TV with the young demographic advertisers crave.
It's another example of how creating a cast that looks like America is good for TV stories and the TV business. Even in a zombie apocalypse.

So is morgan heading to D.C.?
But who was at the funeral home?
Man he's jesus now, he saved a white woman.
Bgol God, caped the white woman with the skin off his back.
That is my favorite episode, The build up to Shane finally snapping was awesome and the speech he was giving, Herschel had broken down and then after all that out walks the lil girl who that had been looking for for episodes. AMAZING EPISODE. Th episode where they saw Morgan again is my second favorite episode
Beth been through some shit. The little girl was long gone. She wasn't even really tripping she had to go back as long as she could believe that Everybody hate Chris had made it. Now the thought of him having to go back for her? She just wasn't having it.
and just 2 weeks ago a bunch of dudes on her HATED that hospital episode...
Beth was the uninteresting part though, The actual diversity that could have built from the officers, their back stories, and the power struggle amongst them would have made for good TV.
People who talk about it slows down the show, from what exactly? Like I said if it wasn't for this what exactly else would they be doing?
Niggas like that need to watch shows like CSI, or something. Where beginning of show presents a problem, solved in an hour, then next week new problem, solved in an hour. Because in any great TV series, Everything is drawn out for the season.
morgan is going to DC
They could save them for the spin off show thats coming. Atleast Morgan.
nah i doubt it. with Morgan not being sure if Rick has found his family or not,...im sure he knows someone like Rick would just go to DC and leave his wife and kid behind. Plus that letter pretty much let Morgan know that Rick chose to stay instead of going to DC.
excellent mid-season finale.
and just 2 weeks ago a bunch of dudes on her HATED that hospital episode...
yep, that episode could've been cut in half and the storyline/depth would've still made complete sense.
beth got that top popped,
playing games! good episode!
playing games! good episode!
Didn't like it
