On stache bruh:

 

I think the cut was a metaphor for an internal "wound" that isn't healing. It is on his punching hand - the hand he destroyed those guys with where his family became afraid of him.

I think it is just being used to symbolize how a wound like that reopens if it isn't address.

Probably way off and he is going to become septic /shrug

that's a great outlook! damn! Yea you are probably very right! I tend to take things like wounds very literal in zombie movies.. but that could enplane a lot!! I wonder if its same shit in the 2004 dawn of the dead haha!

Thanks for that insight!

As for this season, have you noticed the religious references? There's Samson, the pastor (who is, not coincidentally for their purposes, a shit head), the idea of Eugene being a messiah who can actually lead them to some promised land?

All of these religious references are there, and yet the pastor sucks, Maggie doesn't dinish Her point about Samson (the implication being Eugene blows)....

Hard to explain this typing on a phone but I believe they are exploring the motifs of hope vs despair as it pertains to why humans keep religion around in the first place. These guys, like mustache dude (name eludes me) are lookin for a purpose, or some hope, which is not unlike why many people are religious. I do think that this season is showing the futility of it all, not in some literal cut and dry sense, but through the pastor's immorality (and hypocrisy), Eugene's false prophet-esque deception, and army mustache dude believing, in a completely irrational way (he wanted to go through all of those zombies...) his mission, like many zealots, and come to find out his mission was BS to begin with. It's a good season, but as an optimist I disagree with what I think they're getting at, which looks like nihilism / futility at this point in the plot. I will say this though, I do think they tie in the religious symbolism very well. I don't usually analyze the walking dead, but this time the philosophy is on point, even if I disagree with it.

I called the Eugene thing the moment he showed up, I knew that dude was a fake, and also a pussy

I know, right. Never heard it called that before. Lol


Eugenes's new storyline: when and if he ever wakes up from his Abraham-induced coma, he'll only be able to count to potato for the rest of his life.

Yeah... The way he bounced off the fire engine and then went straight down was hilarious imo. He's definitely a potato counter candidate lol

Agree 100%

I think they are more focusing on humanity and a person's character - who they were and who they've become with a change in the world. I think the religion is a platform to show that on.

Pacing of the show is terrible. Yay were all back together again were never going to leave each other.....proceeds to all split up again. It's awesome waiting multiple weeks just to find out what happened to the few characters left you actually somewhat care about.
