the Walking Dead... Beryl or Deth

Is anyone still watching the Walking Dead? The episode last night was one of my favorites. For some reason, seeing Daryl get vulnerable and watching Beth get to his heart a bit was so great. There were so many great moments! It makes me wonder, can love blossom between them? Or is this just a set-up to break our hearts when one of them dies?

Anyone want to discuss? Haha...
 
Yess!! You know, I kept thinking the same thing... if they will fall in love for something. But then, I had a thought ... Beth is still pretty young. A teenager. Even though they are probably the last of the few survivors..not sure if Daryl would go down that road. I would hate if one of them died this early on...ugh! I mean... I can see it happening but I know it won't be Daryl dying. If he died, I would not watch anymore.

I am ready for the whole group to find each other again. I just know it's bound to happen at some point...or at least I hope. Each show only focusing on one set of people at a time is killing me. It feels like the story is moving too slow.
 
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo... they can NOT get together. Ick ick ick! LOL

I think Beth is still super young (according to wiki she's 18 this season), and plus... I want him back with Carol when they reunite.

As much as I love Daryl, I hated last night's episode. It was sweet seeing him be vulnerable, but it was soooooo slow. Like Tronesia, I need the group to find each other cause I hate this one group at a time stuff.

And yeah, Daryl isn't dying. LOL He's got the biggest fan base on the whole show. They would NOT kill him off. Now Beth? I even told Jeff last night that it's just a matter of time. She's just not a likable character.

I totally missed Talking Dead last night, so I need to see if I can find it online. Wasn't Norman Reedus supposed to be on it?
 
I see Daryl and Beth as brother/sister relationship rather than romantic. She's still young and I'm guessing she has visions of a Prince Charming type romance. I'd rather see her with Carl than Daryl.

I also was not a huge fan of last night's episode. I feel like it didn't do anything to move the plot forward. I could have skipped the whole episode and still known what was going on this season. I'm getting frustrated because I want them to find each other and move forward. I'm all for character development, but I also want the plot to move forward at the same time.
 
Ha! John and I were having a huge debate on Beth and Daryl's ages last night, but we both see them setting it up like a love interest. Besides the show people (don't remember which) said before that there's not going to be a Daryl-Carol romance. Or well, you know not like an actual not implied flirting type of one.
Oh and as John keeps pointing out - they could totally kill Daryl off, he's a made-for-tv character. He isn't in the comics. :p
 
I so wish I could participate in this thread (I scrolled through super fast so I couldn't read anything! lol) but I'm two episodes behind... I like the thought of them together, though!

Hopefully tonight I will finally have time to catch up!
 
Beth is 18... But in that world, who really cares? For all they know they are the only survivors from their group. I also like the contrast between Daryl's rough hard edges and Beth's softness and vulnerability. I find it interesting. I never thought Carol was right for him. But, I never really connected with her character very much. I'm not sure why.

For me, this episode was interesting, but I love character development and I also like the story slowing down a bit. I don't want it to end!!!
 
I hate Beth. She gets on my nerves big time. I'd be fine with them killing her off. And since I love Daryl, I do not want then together. Carol is much better with him. I like the episode even if it was slow. Daryl's back story is exactly what I figured it was.

I don't care for Carol either. For me - it was when they were looking for her daughter. They were searching all over... people were getting hurt and almost killed...but she let them keep going. I know it was sad for her but gee... the whole group was being put in danger. Then now... she sees it different when it's not her own child. I don't like that.

Trish, tell your husband not to mess this up for us Daryl lovers.... lol! I have been tempted to check out the comics but I didn't want to be thrown off by the story.
 
I honestly just want to see Daryl get some LOVE on this show before he gets killed off. ;) LOL!
 
I don't think they'll kill Daryl. Fans won't stand for it. I've never read the comics but by all accounts its nothing like them. Apparently the main character is Tyrese not Rick?

Glad Carol is back. SO glad Judith is ok. Wish. They'd all find each other again.

Honestly, I've never read them, lol and I don't think John has either. I'd be seriously surprised if he had. I think he just gets all of his information from the interweb. He loves to tell me who all is dead and who all is still alive and when the group is supposed to meet back up. I keep telling him to stfu. :D
 
You wouldn't want to ask for a payrise huh? Bam you're dead. That'll learn you for being greedy ha! I still can't believe Hershel died!
 
i can't bring myself to watch the show much because my biggest fear is zombies, but i read the synopses of the episodes because my best friend is SO into this show, lol! At least I can chat about it, even if I can't really watch it.
 
Seriously watch it. I am so terrified of zombies that I still have nightmares from watching Dawn of the Dead 8 yesrs ago. This is so different & I've never had a jump or a scare.. I religiously watch TWD but I couldn't bring myself to watch a zombie movie. It's not scary at all and I am terrified of zombies :)
 
I've watched all the way until they were run out of the farm house and cleared the inside fence of the prison, I just have to give myself breaks in between because it does scare me really bad. I don't do well with the intense parts where you know a zombie is coming but they draw it out. I still have nightmares from watching dawn of the dead too. WHY I watched that show, I have no idea, lol! My hubby is gone for a month so I really can't watch it, but I"m feeling the itch to again, so once he's home we'll probably start it up again. I'm beyond terrified of zombies though. I really honestly think it could happen.

^^THIS! I hate the episodes that just show a couple of people. Last night's was hugely boring. There just are not that many episodes in a season to do that pretty much every. single. week. :glare:

I've never watched it before, but let it run last night for a few minutes. Yes, Norman was on it and quite frankly, from the few minutes I watched it, I thought "what an idiot." (sorry Daryl/Norman fans - I like him too, but...) When they asked him about when Daryl revealed what he was/did before, Norman was all like "that was some great writing, so profound..." etc. And I'm like, huh??? That was COMPLETELY anti-climactic! He was a bum with Merle? Yeah, we all figured that, but would have been nice to have it be something surprising like a cop or dentist or something completely opposite his character. But nope.

Sorry, I'm obviously grouchy about TWD right now. LOL :blink:

I thought the same thing... that Daryl would say he did some kind of great and upstanding job. Then he just outs himself as a drifter following around his big brother...LOL!!!

I agree I thought last night's ep was pretty meh. Yet my hubby thought it was fantastic. To me it just was a lot of nothing..
 
I loved it. I like a balance between huge action and slower episodes. I think it helps keep you on your toes. You never know what's coming. I think the fact that he did nothing before the apocalypse was fitting for his character. It's exactly what I pictured.

Glad I'm not the only one. I think TWD walkers are dumb that's why they aren't scary. Slow & attracted to noise. Where Dawn of the Dead they were crazy fast and what got me is how they hunted people down. Like you can't hide...**shudder**

Don't watch World War Z. :blink:
 
I watched world war z and that movie was dumb to me. the zombies weren't scary to me but i can't really explain why. I guess maybe the movie wasn't scary because there were barely any zombie scenes in it and they only bit you, they didn't eat you... and it wasn't all that suspenseful. the suspense is what gets to me. i really just can't do it! I'd rather know what's coming then sit in suspense. But yes, the dawn of the dead zombies, holy crap!! and 28 days later?!? omg i had nightmares foreverrrrr after that one. FOREVER!!
 
She's wayyy too young for him! Eeeww, I know the dating rules in the zombie apocalypse are different than they are now but gross. lol

*sigh*

They are totally going to make one of them die. I just know it. :crying:

I don't know when it will happen, but I sort of agree with you... BUT...
I don't think they'll kill Daryl.. I'd say half of the women (and gay men LOL) watching are just watching it to see him! He has a HUGE fan base, the biggest of every other character combined. They won't let him die because their ratings would plummet and they certainly know that. And I'm glad! lol... If I didn't love zombie movies/shows, I'd watch it for the reason I've stated above. hahaha
