I'd like to see this series "end" similar to 24.. Leave it open to a return a few years down the road.

How about... . during Michonne and Carl's wedding( come on we all know it's going to happen ) while the groups guard is down they are attacked and all but Michonne are killed off.

Fade to black as Michonne walks away with Rick & Carl Zombies chained behind her..

I'm with you guys in that with no end game, it's become boring. Terminus is setting up as Woodbury II. It's starting to feel more like a soap opera to me as it does feel the show can go on as long as the advertising dollars last. I think the poster who said they felt like they could miss several episodes and it wouldn't really matter hits a really important point. I almost feel like it would be advantageous to say they're going to end it after another season or two. But that likely doesn't make financial sense. We'll see I guess.

J

Why do you want to see a great show end? I never understood that. It made sense for Lost, because people wanted answers. But who needs answers about a zombie apocalypse?

That's a fair question. I think it's because most of us relate to a story in an arc. We want a beginning, a problem, a plan to solve the problem and a resolution. There are of course exceptions but I think most people are wired to be drawn to that. For me, that's where I am with this.

It's interesting to think about the mechanics of story there. In reality, Rocky and Star Wars are really the same "story". Meet the hero, see the problem, find a mentor, devise a plan, see it out. Doesn't really matter if meeting the mentor is Mick or Yoda, same idea.

Now some shows can go forever like Seinfeld but that never really felt like a story. It was more like Jimmy Fallon as you checked in each time to see what funny stuff might happen.

A story like Walking Dead feels more like a traditional story to me. And I don't think the "middle" can go on indefinitely and keep the attention from folks.

J

I don't think that's going to be the case. I don't think the zombie apocalypse as portrayed will ever have an "end" in this show. Hasn't Kirkman said as much, that there will never be any in-depth look into how it began or how it could end?

TWD is the story of this group surviving in the apocalypse. The story will end with them, not the end of the zombies. In the last episode Rick and crew will either die, find some place that truly seems safe (island?), or lose a place that truly seems safe leaving us with the message that this survival challenge will be with them for the rest of their lives.

I don't think they'll be at Terminus for very long.

I get that feeling as well.

Interesting. Why do you get that feeling? And how do you think they'll get out?

J

Because how many "heroes trapped in a rail car" episodes can they get away with?

This is AMC we're talking about. They'll try to shoot the whole season in a rail car.

 

[stbugs]

I actually The Walking Dead is set up in such a way that it could go on forever. It won't. No TV series does. But a story about surviving isn't one set up for an end game. It's set up to tell the story today, tomorrow, the next day, next week, next month etc. It could go on indefinitely with a different group of characters rotating in and out as the series goes along. Isn't that pretty much what's going on in Kirkman's comics? When did those first start, 10 years ago? How many of the original cast are still in the comics now?

I was about to post the same thing. I don't see this show like Lost where they knew the ending already. Until the comics end, there is no "end", it IMHO is more like an episodic show. Think CSI with weekly shows about new things, new places and new people and how they deal with all of that and then maybe seasonal arcs (like a special serial killer on CSI) that carry over many episodes like the farm, the governor, the CDC and Terminus.

 

[Loan Sharks]

I don't think they'll be at Terminus for very long.

I get that feeling as well.

I have had a hunch that was part of the scene with the one guy who got overwhelmed with the walkers. When Carl and Rick started back down the train tracks the zombies were following them. It may be coincidence, but I thought the point was they were leading the zombies to terminus.

 

[roadkill1292]

I actually The Walking Dead is set up in such a way that it could go on forever. It won't. No TV series does.

You can't support this. How do we know that some TV show on right now might go on forever?

Should be just about time for somebody to fire up Ow! My Balls!

[TxBuckeye]

Now that we know it is not a sanctuary for them but rather a prison I would think escaping is going to be the main focus. Can't think they will put us through a season of them locked up.

This is my biggest fear. Someone earlier said the show has been established for what it is. They are probably right. I fear they are. I've stuck it out but there is no doubt in my mind. I won't make it through a whole season in Terminus.

 

[skol asylum]

I've said this before but how pissed will you be if the end game for the show is Rick waking up from a coma in the hospital with Laurie by his side sharing a a private worried look with Shane?

 

[skol asylum]

I imagine a half season in Terminus and then on the road to DC.

 

[The Ref]

I imagine a half season in Terminus and then on the road to DC.

I think its this -or- half season trying to escape Terminus and then the second half trying to take over Terminus. It's possible that they will write a story where after getting their asses kicked on the road this season they want the farm/prison life back. Plus as someone said... its AMC we are talking about. Largest commercial hit on TV and they want to cut back on location costs.

[Papa Georgio]

I personally don't need an endgame. I would like to hear theories by the survivors on what caused the zombies, and how so many turned.

Also it wouldn't hurt to have more of a change up than this group is different because they are cannibals and this one is religious fanatics and this one is militia. I concede that this is probably exactly what you would find but I do think you would have areas that "survived" much better than others. I think more places like the CDC would still be up and running and conducting experiments. No need to re-invent the wheel but some progress while still in the survive and live day-to-day mode. I would think start having power groups, where we only have 2-3 big groups and civilization starts to be re-established might be interesting.

 

[Porkchop Express]

at how terrible the Claimers are at killing people. They had at two guns pointed directly at two people, two guys beating the crap out of one person, and hillybilly boy holding a Bowie knife on a little kid. Yet they all still died. How they hell did they live that long in the first place?

How did any of these idiots survive this long? They all seem to make the worst possible decisions consistently. This same last episode had some random screaming help instead of running through an easily visible gap in the horde.

Yes. All Wizard of Oz style with Hershal as the doctor and Carol is the nurse and Andrea is the reporter on TV...

I am going with season 5 being the endgame and each episode beong an homage to each character followed by the Termites eaten them BBQ style. Onr week southern style, one week KC, Glen gets the Mongolian BBQ treatment.

SYFY ANNOUNCES ALL-NEW ZOMBIE SERIES Z NATION

13-Episode Series from ‘Eureka’ Creator To Premiere in Fall 2014

NEW YORK – April 7, 2014 – Syfy today announced Z Nation, a 13-episode zombie series set to debut in the fall. From production company The Asylum (Sharknado), the action-horror series depicts the epic struggle to save humanity after a zombie apocalypse. The series, which will air on Syfy, will be produced by The Asylum and sold internationally by Dynamic Television.

Karl Schaefer (Eerie Indiana, Eureka, The Dead Zone) will serve as executive producer and showrunner. "Z Nation will take viewers where no zombie has gone before,” says Schaefer. The show, he continues, adds “a sense of hope to the horror of the apocalypse – our everyday heroes take the fight to the zombies. It’ll be an epic journey unlike anything you've seen before.”

In making the announcement, Chris Regina, Senior Vice President, Programming, Syfy, said: “Z Nation is a unique new journey into the long established zombie genre. Instead of existential despair, the series offers hope that somehow, some way, humanity will not only survive, but triumph. In producing their first ever weekly series, our long-time partners The Asylum have created a different way of telling an iconic story.”

In Z Nation, three years have passed since the zombie virus has gutted the country, and a team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. Although the antibodies he carries are the world’s last, best hope for a vaccine, he hides a dark secret that threatens them all. With humankind’s survival at stake, the ragtag band embarks on a journey of survival across three thousand miles of rusted-out post-apocalyptic America.

Z Nation is a dynamic ensemble drama that will plunge viewers into a fully-imagined post-zombie America and take them on an adventure with a diverse group of richly-drawn characters. As the reluctant heroes learn to work as a team and battle ever-more-menacing zombies, their flaws, idiosyncrasies, and moral dilemmas will ultimately become the heart of the show.

I'll probably watch it. I'm a sucker for SyFy shows, well stuff like BSG, Eureka, Warehouse 13 and Defiance. BSG obviously was heads and shoulders above the rest, but the other three aren't bad entertainment for people that don't like watching cop, CSI and lawyer shows.

There is only one line that could easily make me turn it off. See the bolded above. I hate when zombies turn into monsters, like Resident Evil. If they make mutations like that, this show could suck balls. I actually like the idea of the group having a single mission to get across the country with someone that didn't turn. It isn't really like TWD, because I don't believe mullet man knows anything. It reminds me more of I Am Legend, except having to travel to find the cure.

 

[(HULK)]

I believe the plot is pretty much shop lifted from The Last of Us video game. Or at least the traveling through a wasteland with an immune person part.

I believe at that time the Termites were considering allowing their new guests to join the collective. It wasn't until Rick threw a hissy fit that a line was crossed, "They can't trust us anymore," and then they became livestock, and as such were herded into the boxcar.

Why is that so hard to believe? I agree with him. Why not just disarm them and march them into the train car? I mentioned above that I thought it was a test. They left them armed. They had people in the grill area playing with Glen's riot gear, their sleeping bag, Maggie's poncho and Herschel's watch. They had snipers at the ready all along the path and there were also well armed people that popped out into the court yard as soon as Rick reacted. Why in the world would they do that if they didn't want to first see Rick's crew's reaction. Again, it seems really simple to me. They don't likely get many visitors, so why wouldn't they want to confirm that the next crew in wasn't the backups for Maggie et al?

I think they are looking for people they can trust to join their ranks, but as soon as there is no trust, they lock them up. It was written on the walls that they had trust issues.

I think they are looking for people they can trust to join their ranks, but as soon as there is no trust, they lock them up. It was written on the walls that they had trust issues.

So you think they gave Glen et al the same test and they failed it as well?

I believe the plot is pretty much shop lifted from The Last of Us video game. Or at least the traveling through a wasteland with an immune person part.

when terminus folks disarmed rick and crew why give them their guns back? if they are gonna eat them why not just force them into the train car when they had no guns?

I believe at that time the Termites were considering allowing their new guests to join the collective. It wasn't until Rick threw a hissy fit that a line was crossed, "They can't trust us anymore," and then they became livestock, and as such were herded into the boxcar.

Why is that so hard to believe? I agree with him. Why not just disarm them and march them into the train car? I mentioned above that I thought it was a test. They left them armed. They had people in the grill area playing with Glen's riot gear, their sleeping bag, Maggie's poncho and Herschel's watch. They had snipers at the ready all along the path and there were also well armed people that popped out into the court yard as soon as Rick reacted.

No. First of all, I may be wrong. Second, let's suppose Glen's crew was the first set of visitors they had seen in a while and let's just assume that for some reason they were put in the rail car. We don't know why yet, but they were. OK, with that set, Rick's crew sneaks in soon after. Based on the "church" we know that the Terminus folks have been burned before based on the never trust anyone writing on the wall.

So, with that all in place, isn't it reasonable to think that Rick's crew might be the backup crew for Glen's crew, i.e half goes in to check it out and the other half comes in later when they don't hear back? I am not even trying to assume that Terminus has spies that saw what happened at the prison or that they overheard Glen's crew talk about Rick. I am just thinking that a very suspicious set of Terminus people would think that there could be a connection or that they assume a whole group (who had survived this long) wouldn't go in all at once without a backup plan.

I don't know what test Glen's team got because I have no idea how long it had been since the last visitors and I don't know if maybe Carol and Tyrese were already there. What I do think is that the Terminus folks purposely flaunting Glen's crew's items to Rick's team and were prepped for any reaction. I don't know what the test meant and what the alternative results could have been, but I don't think any of that setup was by accident, especially given the whole snare/trap theme of the episode.

ummm....no

Ricks group snuck in unannounced and caught the termites off guard ....no way are they prepared to test THAT particular group.

Really, so they had random people sitting behind the fence near the rail car that they sent them toward and snipers at every step of the way? How long do you think it would have taken someone to put plan A in action after they sneaked in? They had them frisked and talked for a little and then walked them out. Again, for a place that has plan A in place, I don't think it takes that long to set it up.

Also, why is it so hard to think that after they capture Glen's group that they aren't "ready" for their backups? Does everyone really think that a group of people that prepared to funnel people through buildings, past a pile of bones, through their church, etc. is not going to be prepared? Shouldn't we assume with everything we saw, like a hand gesture starting the snare, that they are that prepared. I think assuming the other side of the coin is a bigger assumption.

My point is that they had guns at the ready outside the fence, on rooftops and in doorways in the courtyard to go at the drop of the hat and because of that, I don't think it was random the Termites were obviously displaying the previous captured group's stuff. After Glen's crew was snared, I think that the Terminus folks were on high alert ready to snare whoever came looking for Glen's crew.

So how did Ricks crew got in without them knowing it? Where were all the people with guns then?
