In case you missed it, Dave was interviewed by On the Side (OTS) Podcast (@user-835819392), which revolves around our side passions (Squawking Dead being the primary focus). Have a listen! https://soundcloud.com/user-835819392/ep-40-david-cameo * Dave & Carol have never butted heads like this: Loving/Hating The Clarks * #TheVultures weren't much of an enemy: there's gotta be a bigger story * All we are saying is give Strand a chance: After #AllOutWar, we finally understand him. Breaking down his character growth * I think the writers underestimated the impact of our new characters #JohnDorie, #Althea, and Naomi * Character background & development on #TWD vs #FearTWD. We wouldn't be able to appreciate the latter series as much without the former * Side Note: #JeffreyDeanMorgan & #NormanReedus are next-farm neighbors, with Norman talking his ear off. Maybe he'll finally get to do more of that on #TWDseason9 * WTF made #VictorStrand, #AliciaClark, and #LucianaGalvez Terminators? Sympathizing with Mel * Discussing the meaning behind the opening (clips from "Laura"), John's fate, and more Althea * If John Dorie dies, we riot: He is everything we aspire to be (like #RickGrimes, at the start of #TheWalkingDead) * A Firefight straight out of Star Wars: struggling to understand Alicia's ire towards Naomi and Mel's underestimation of our group's ferocity * #FearTheWalkingDead characters(vs #WalkingDead): "heros" & "villains" are way more nuanced (not clear-cut "Good" & "Evil") * "Alicia's space gun": #FTWD invested in weapons-handling and authenticity (where #TWD stopped, in latter seasons #SprayandPray) * The Naomi dilemma: how long was she with The Vultures and what did she do? * Luciana pointing a gun at Charlie: discussing children in the apocalypse and what saving Charlie means for the group's future * #MorganJones makes Althea part of the story * #MadisonClark, like #NickClark, also admits that she is a better person inside the walls * Discussing Charlie's role in the stadium's demise and Ennis' possible nefariousness * Madison's justification for saving Mel only makes sense, given their perseverance * Mel received the same death-to-life transition from Present to Past as Nick did. Also, discussing his lack of villainy * Madison Magical Mallet: instead of using it to destroy, she constructs. * The parents are talking: Naomi calls Madison out on reverting * Should they have abandoned The Diamond? Discussing the Vulture Brothers * Alicia's last words, as the Land Rover is surrounded * Nick gives Madison her dues: It's not the stadium that makes him a better person, but how she shows him the way * Ennis & Mel MUST be related to Simon * Madison's fate, "you never see the bad stuff coming," but she may not be dead and the writers will flip the script * Sneak Peeks: Madison has nothing left to lose (and the scene color isn't clear, past or present?); Firefight in the stadium; Althea is the one on camera, this time (Althea backstory episode) * John Dorie looks like #McCreeOverwatch and those crew nerds totally play #Overwatch * Sneak Peek: Althea is involved in the firefight and even provides some comic relief * SWAT tanks, Garbage trucks, and finger-blaster missiles * Sneak Peeks: Alicia & Morgan confront each other, which will be VERY interesting; Mel & Charlie's Land Rover get-away - how did they get it?; Alicia's freak-out towards Althea - we saw this before; Madison bars the doors and seeks out others...? * #TalkingDead Sneak Peek: John apologizes for nothing - Morgan admits that their friendship brought him out of his funk. Althea clears a path to get meds * #ChristianSerratos / #Rosita may not be in #TWDseason9 * Subscribe to our #YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa6PMRa1C52wCE5PVhXT6Qg --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/squawkingdead/message
