The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

[WWEJedi]

A master swordsman?

He's a fat guy with a stick who practices a martial art he learned from a book. Hyperbole is the saving grace of nonsense.

Uh...no.

Sorry but if Eastman is a "Master swordsman" then Star Wars kid is a "Master Jedi".

Well.... he whipped Morgan's *** with it, but not a walker... that he saw many many feet away with his stick in hand?

I find it's best not to overthink that stuff, honestly. Whether he died this way or that, it accomplishes the same thing in the end. *shrugs*

Yeah.... I probably do overthink stuff.... then everyone sees it as complaining and seem to get angry at me. I do bring up valid points whether some want to admit it or not. I just think this show has the potential to be one of the greatest shows on tv and it makes me angry that the writers/directors can't see this through. No matter how much I complain... I still do like the show. My complaining should be seen as passion...

we have seen other people be in "distress" or be distracted by something else. All of the main characters have been at a point where they were distracted by something and a Jump Scare walker comes out. Most of the "Jump Scare" scares on the entire show are from zombies surprising the main cast,

It just seems weird that after 5 seasons they are still relying on this kind of crap. I know at the end his outcome was the same, but given that they made such a cool new character with such an interesting story, It is a shame they didn't give him a better attack. (specially since he was so skilled)
It might not matter now since we are still waiting for the conclusion of this entire story. but on repeat views that scene is going to stick out for being so sloppy.

I mean, that walker attack was as dumb as this scene

I agree completely.

So.......none of you who are complaining have ever done something stupid where you've gotten hurt? I have, may times.

I'm not stupid so I don't get hurt.

Whipping Morgan's behind doesn't make him a "Master swordsman" though and as for the walker, he reacted without thinking it through which to me proves he's not all that masterful.

One doesn't have to be stupid to get hurt. Plenty of "smart" people get hurt everyday.

Anyway it's all subjective.

Smart people do stupid things too.

The actor said on Talking Dead that he wasn't supposed to be a 'master'. Just a regular schmuck that took a class for amateurs before things fell apart, and who's practiced on the dead since. Didn't need to be an Akido 'master' to fight the dead anyway.

Not too difficult to believe a guy like that might make a mistake.

People have been going back and forth over the quality of Eastman's death longer than he was on the show.

Let it go peeps.

How else are people who are good at not getting bit supposed to be attacked? When they're paying full attention?

Don't need to be an Akido master to know not to turn your back to a zombie.

Don't need to be an Akido master to know not to turn your back to a zombie.

Thus, "mistake".

[xipotec]

? weird conversation. Pretty obvious fro the episode...
1. Eastman is not a master at Akido he never claimed he was. He almost got killed by Morgan in the cabin because he let his guard down.
2. You can be great at "forms" and lousy in reality. Especially in a pressure situation. He did not think he was going to have to save Morgan.....and he just blew it....
3. I do not think Morgan is a expert either. Damn good, but martial arts is about remaining calm in the face of danger. If you have time to assess a situation you can do well......if your surprised, even the best martial artist could be defeated.

I purchased season 1 special edition blu ray about a month ago but last night I was listening to the commentary while doing some work and came across this interesting dialogue between Glen and Rick. This is moments after Glen saved Rick from the tank and have climbed up the building and now entering the inside. Could it be a 5 year foreshadow?? Possible full circle? I thought it was very interesting considering what we saw in episode three. I took a few shots with subtitles on. Enjoy....

 

[pixletwin]

Interesting. I am not sure it will play out that way though.

 

[Buttmunch]

I dunno with

Spoiler

Jesus coming into the show, it might be the way to introduce him.

 

[Centurion]

OK, thank goodness. We're back to talking about Glenn. The discussion of Eastman being a "master" and "making mistakes" was getting less hilarious.

Interesting theory Bo Shrek. I don't put anything past these writers/producers as they can make anything happen on this show. I hope we find out soon.

Normally, I would think that 'foreshadowing' unlikely. TWD isn't Justified. They don't do callbacks, and homages, and foreshadowing all that much. The dialogue in TWD usually isn't that clever, and their approach certainly isn't usually that literary.

But, given that they actually called back to the original 'dumbass' comment referenced in that clip ... I think that theory might be a genuine possibility.

[Sachiel]

My theory:

Glenn isn't dead. But the Glenn we know is.

Nick almost killed him twice. The second time because Glenn put too much faith in him.

That's the straw that breaks the camel's back.

He snaps.

When he returns he will be known as Negative Glenn (Negan).

Watch out Rick and Co.!

 

[Mr. Green]

LOL on a horse.

I thought he called him that as a nod to when Rick was stuck in the tank and Glenn speaks to him on the radio at the end of episode one.

Wouldn't that be NeGlenn?

 

[Johnny Utah]

I say kill him and bring on Jesus!
