Must See - New Trailer of Season 5 Premiere

This past weekend, the Walking Dead cast members, attended the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con to debut a brand-new trailer from Season 5. 

This nearly three minute long preview is jammed pack with action, intensity and many more details about the group's dicey ordeal. If you're anything like me, you'll watch this trailer a few times. 

As I previously stated Robert Kirkman, has teased viewers by saying one of the main characters WILL DIE this upcoming season. Many people are speculating that more than one lead character will die. That boggles my mind. I'm not ready to lose more than one of my beloved group members. The trailer certainly gives you a lot to grasp but Kirkman promises that all the questions will be answered in the season premiere. 

As I watch the trailer, my mind is bombarded with even more questions and possible theories. Take a look at the clip and let me know what you think?

Sneak Peek of The Walking Dead Season 5

In case you didn't know, I'm just as hungry for the return of The Waking Dead as you. My usual drill is to troll the internet looking for info about our favorite show in hopes that it holds me over until the premiere. 

Through my research I have come across a lot of chatter about Season 5 and especially episode 501. The opening episode will deliver some hard hitting action at a rapid speed.  

If you didn't know, AMC has kicked off a Walking Dead marathon today Friday July 4th with Season One. They will continue airing all 4 Seasons until the anxiously awaiting Talking Dead Preview Special on Sunday July 6th at 9pm est. We will finally get a glimpse of the upcoming season in just a matter of days so hang tight. But until then, here's the cast and crew chatting about the upcoming season. 

The Waiting is Brutal FOUR More Months Left

If you're like me you are counting the days or should I say months down to the start of the new season of The Walking Dead. I can't believe we still have a four month wait, the show returns in October. There has been talk that a trailer will be released some time in July (fingers crossed).

 

In a recent Produced By panel appearance at a Producers Guild event, someone asked “Walking Dead” producer David Alpert how he feels about working with "pre-existing" material and the challenges of adapting a long-lasting, successful comic book for television material for the series. 

According to Alpert, using Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comic series as a template for the show has laid the ground work for many more seasons to come.“I happen to love working from source material, specifically because we have a pretty good idea of what season 10 is gonna be,” Alpert said. “We know where season 11 and 12… we have benchmarks and milestones for those seasons if we’re lucky enough to get there.”

Given the show’s exceptional ratings, The Walking Dead won’t go anywhere as long as the audience continues to grow and watch. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the AMC will keep it around for a very long time. I realize there is nothing I can write my fellow Dead Lovers that will make the wait more durable. So I'm guessing you are a bit starved by now and possibly looking at old episodes. Here's a video of the cast talking about the upcoming season. I hope this takes some of the sting away Cast Chat Enjoy!

The Walking Dead - Trapped Like Prey

Prey - hunted or caught for food, defenseless in the face of attack. 

In the season finale of The Walking Dead, Rick showed Michonne and Carl how to catch an animal in a trap. He explained if you camouflage the trap, you can control the movement of the animal and force them directly into the trap.

The irony of his statement is we now know, Rick's group was in fact the big catch of the day. The maze layout of the compound is exactly what Rick described as the perfect trap. The group was forced through the facility guided by snipers on the rooftops shooting at the ground and directing them to boxcar "A" by gun men in the bushes.

There is no question that they have done this before.

AMC released this photo of a deleted scene from the finale. We see Rick, Carl, Michonne and Daryl fighting off a several Walkers chained-up with stacks of human remains sprewed all over the ground (note how the remains look).

It's not zombie ravaged victims but carefully cut leftovers. If you read my previous post Come for Sanctuary - Stay as a Meal, I've suggested that  humans are butchered for their meat by the cannibals of Terminus. This photo is further proof of their practice. 

We have witness survivors feeding the undead before. Remember The Governor caring for his daughter Penny and Hershel keeping Walkers in the barn on the farm. Could the well-fed Walkers be former members of Terminus who now serve as part of the trap? What do you think?

The Walking Dead - Terminus Come for Sanctuary - Stay as a Meal

Walking Dead comic book fans and Telltale game series players suspected that Terminus had human ribs on the menu. But seeing decaying carcass of human remains tossed aside, like a turkey the day after Thanksgiving was shocking. Note: These remains look like something a butcher would throw out, cut with proficiency.
I believe Terminus is a remix of the two groups found in both the game and comic book. A group known as The Hunters were a roving band of cannibals. They appeared in Fear the Hunters storyline in the comics. They stalked, trapped and slowly killed other survivors for meat. Keep in mind, in this world you can't just kill people for food without them turning into Walkers. The Hunters would cut limbs off, tourniquet the wound and use the meat immediately. They always had fresh meat.

The second cannibalistic group resided on a Dairy Farm, led by Brenda St John. Her character appeared in Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead: Season One episode, Starved For Help. Like
Mary, Brenda appears to be a kindly older woman who is very welcoming to strangers. Her family lured survivors to their farm, similar to all the signage leading survivors to the welcoming doors of Terminus. Where Mary stands grilling slabs of meat.

Do you remember this guy?

Tryesse tried to help him on the railroad tracks. His dying words to Carol and Tyresse was "There's a safe place to bring the children. Trust me please ...follow the tracks." He sounded like a commercial for the place. Why was the man so infatic for them to go there? Could it be those men were scouts to lead unsuspecting people to the grill? 

I think we'll find that Terminus is probably a little bit like both groups. But they all have one thing in common ... a belief that everything taste the same with ketchup. If you are interested - I wrote an article on a news story about cannibalism in South Africa entitled Human Meat Burger. Fiction is not as far away off reality as you may think.
