I don't know what good someone with an immunity would do, storywise. Eugene is the closest thing they have to a scientist. Without someone like the CDC guy from season 1, there's not a ton the characters could do with the information.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to troll, honestly. That was aimed at Gimple, not you. I just get sick of the production team's double-speak when trying to make themselves sound oh-so-clever. Just do a good job and you don't have to keep trying to sell the viewer on stuff.

Is a secondary track interesting? I'll admit I'm interested on home video (streaming, Blu Ray, etc.). However a creative solution (ala Battlestar Galactica or Abraham's creative sayings) which improves the character's mystique would be a thousand times more interesting than Gimple breaking his arm trying to pat himself on the back for using the F-bomb on some alternate audio track.

They shouldn't really have the same bacteria in their bite. Theoretically, it would be the same as being bitten by any other person at that point. I'm not sure if we've had a clear case of that happening. Maybe Andrea, which I had an issue with at the time.
Established? No, just a theory we postulated around here. That is a good point about freshly turned zombies. I hadn't thought about that. I guess it depends on how long it takes a person to turn. Could the bacteria (or whatever) start forming before the person dies, like gangrene or something?

Audio for the final ten minutes of the season finale has leaked. Don't know if it's cool to post a link here to the zippyshare page, but if anyone is curious there are a couple of links on the "The Spoiling Dead Fans" facebook page. The main post has a link to a vocaroo page that's running really, really slow, and someone in the comments has saved the mp3 and put it on zippyshare.

And, yeah, it's *that* scene.

Also sounds like
Spoiler:
the death scene is from the point-of-view of the person getting killed; the audio muffles after the first blow and there's a ringing ears effect. I'd day we probably won't know who buys the farm until October.

Re: The Walking Dead (S6E15) -- "East" -- 3/27/16

Regarding immunity, I read a book series (Dead series by TW Brown) that introduces that concept, and it played out in some interesting ways over the course of the series, especially in the last few books that occur after a jump forward of 10 years. Communities of immunes considering themselves as human 2.0 and the rest as inferior. Wars between immune and non-immune. The virus used as biological warfare, etc., people becoming infected after sex with an immune. There's a lot of cool storylines that can be used using that concept.

The reason the doctor lady was in danger in the first place was because Morgan held the Wolf prisoner and he escaped and took her hostage. And the reason the Wolves were there in the first place was because Morgan didn't kill them and they used what they found in his bag to track down Alexandria.

So, long story short, had Morgan just killed the Wolves when he had the chance they probably wouldn't have invaded Alexandria which in turn wouldn't have lure the zombies to Alexandria away from the pit which in turn would've probably saved a lot of people's lives.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
Yes, they have completely ruined Morgan as a characters. His BS is rubbing off on other characters like Carol and he will get more people killed. I am rooting for him to leave the show or get killed off. What a waste of a cool character. tyreese 2.

Whether you agree with Morgan or not, the show always needs conflict and different ideologies on how to survive in the apocalypse. I always felt the show is at its best when there is someone in the group who steps up and opposes Rick or atleast can go toe to toe with him. Shane & Dale did that in the first 2 seasons, Herschel did that in Season 3 & 4, and now Morgan is doing it currently.

I think Morgan adds an important counterpoint, as Rick and company are slowly turning into something like the Saviors. I think Carol's conflict comes from her and Maggie meeting their counterparts a few episodes back. In another life, both could have been assimilated into Rick's crew.

Speaking of, we need a name for the gang.

But Morgan takes it farther than any other character from the past would have. Even Dale and Herschel would likely kill somebody in self defense if absolutely necessary. Morgan refuses.

So again...it's not even an argument that Morgan is right or wrong, it's just that him convincing Rick in that moment by using Carl was supremely misleading.
Yeah, that was complete BS.

That's going on in The Last Ship, but without zombies.

That Cash song may have been the first song I remember liking on TWD.
I thought the use of The Mountain Goats "Up the Wolves" in episode 12 of season four was quite good.

Did anyone find similarities with the music and feel to Last of Us during he scene with Morgan/Rick and the horse? Something about the music made me feel like I was back in that game.

And Tom Waits' "Hold On" from the end of season 2.

I agree, though some people in real life do think this way, so I found it realistic.

I called it in a previous thread:

Since Maggie was stabbed in the abdomen my guess is that her baby is dead. The baby dies and turns into a zombie in her womb causing accelerated growth. The zombie baby eats her from the inside and bursts out of her chest Alien style.

It'll never happen but would be cool to see.
