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.

no wait!!! I was like, really excited about this episode and was all about posting to ask you what you thought about it when I got to work!!! ok here:

 

what the fuck is up with the "frog hair" scratch and the nasty zombie blood mustache man got all over it & his hand? is that foreshadowing the episode where he turns into a zombie and they address 'cuts and bruises' mixing with zombie blood, turning you into a zombie? Is it going to foreshadow that he is Immune to the infection and give them a new mission?? um.. is it nothing? (Is his girl gonna get a Zombie STD?? haha)

In the 2004 Dawn of the dead, they did a red herring thing like that with the Ving Rhames character.. he falls into the fountain when they first break into the mall and he cuts his arm, they so deliberately show it being cut with an extreme closeup up, and him falling into the water where a zombie had been rustling around for the last day that I was sure they were going to do something about it.. but they bandaged him up and they never said anything about it..

Im gonna google that scene and see what answers Zack Snoider must have given to the questions people asked him about it at places like comic con or something, I'm sure I'm not the only one that's been scratching their head about what went down with that scene for the last 10 years..

I dono what do you guys think? is mustache military man immune or gona be a zombie? or is it just a weird red herring?

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

But you'd think if cuts are a problem, then having zombie blood splashed in your face, mouth, eyes, etc would have been turning people since the beginning. These people have been exposed to that a lot throughout the series. How would a cut be any different all of a sudden? And LOL @ zombie STD. "Your dick will fall off" no longer just an expression...

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

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.
