Thoughts on The Walking Dead Season 7

As  write this, it is now two Sundays away from the finale of Season 7. For me this has been one long and crushing season. It was hard for me to watch, but it was a strong part of the whole story of The Walking Dead. We have seen this group overcome hell over the past 6 seasons that when we experienced Season 7 it was a the punch to the gut that would not get better. It was the everlasting common cold. It started with the deaths of Glen and Abraham, Daryl was captured and did not escaped until episode 8. The first half of the season was depressing and hopeless. Rick Grimes was beaten down so bad it was as if he was dealing with depression. The saviors just kept coming and taking the guns and the beds just to burn the mattresses in the middle of the road. It is hard enough to have something stolen from you and watch someone enjoy it, but just to steal it and have it destroyed was more painful.

But at the end of episode 8 we saw a glance of hope and Rick seemed to come back to himself and the birth of a plan to fight back after Daryl escapes Negan's prison. I am still wondering how King Ezekiel will play in all of this and will Sara give up the group she encountered in episode 6 called Swear and if they will play a part in the end? If so, how? Do not forget Carol, because she does what needs to be done. If you see her getting some gas her target may want to find flowers to look at. And I am more then positive that Jadis from episode 10 called New Best Friends will play a big part in the season finale. I have read that Negan will be back in Season 8. But how many episodes I do not know. I don't think he will be killed off at the end of season 7

Even if team Rick wins the war , there will be a heavy cost. It is almost certain that Sasha will die because of what has been reported on the verified news sites, but still can not say for sure. Who else might perish in the war.

it's Time to RISE UP!

Into The World of "The Walking Dead" Part 2 , Glenn and Maggie

This post will have to be edited later on when Netflix adds the 4th Season of "The Walking Dead" to it's service. I have not connected some events to the series time line and episodes. But do to the fact that I am the type of person if I don't do it now it will not get done I wanted to make sure I continue the series. This is going to be a on going project till I get each part right. There will be a day when I get this and all parts of the series done. But its like every time you watch a episode you see something new.

Rick makes it to Atlanta and after he is overwhelmed by Walkers he is in a Tank and just before he commits suicide, he hears a voice on the radio. This is Glenn Rhee, he is like the gopher of the group. He is like the experiment before the group commits on pushing forward. He is awkward as he is smart. He is not good at keeping a secret. But he is committed and may be one of the most trusted people in the group to make the right decision. Glenn's awkwardness is very noticeable when he is in the drug store getting a pregnancy test for Lori and Maggie finds Glenn. Glenn puts the Pregnancy test in his back pack and grabs a box of condoms and does not know what to say. Maggie shuts him up and tells him she will have sex with him.

Glenn broke the news to the group that there was walkers in Hershel's barn. It was Glenn that broke the news that Lori is pregnant. But the thing about Glenn is that I think he is the one person of the group that really cares about everyone. It is very clear that he wants to make a stand in the episode "Home". Glenn wants to make his stand at the prison. He is angry and wants revenge. "Home" was the episode after Glenn and Maggie was taken hostage at Woodbury. Merle Dixon beats and tortures Glenn. 

However what really brings a spark to Glenn is the unyielding love he has for Maggie Green. Maggie as you might remember was introduced to the group in the episode "Blood Letting" where Glenn sees her for the first time riding a horse like a hero. I think they fell in love at that moment, however Maggie thought the whole group was crazy when they lowered Glenn down in the well to pull the "Well Walker" out. This is before she becomes a ass kicking walker killer herself, you will have to watch the episode "Cherokee Rose" to see Maggie make that statement.

In some of these pics from youtube ,Maggie looks kind of crazy her self after the reality of the Zombie Apocalypse hits you. 

Glenn and Maggie are obsessed with each other, and while they are still committed  to the group they are evermore committed to each other. This was never more apparent then through the second half  of the forth season after the fight with the governor at the prison, and Maggie lost her sister Beth and Glenn. She was more obsessed with finding Glenn because I think she thought Beth was safe with Daryl Dixon and Judith. I am not really clear on that. I will have to re watch season 4 when it become available on Netflix. What worries me about Glenn and Maggie's future is at the end of last season in the episode "us" They are reunited, and Maggie tells Glenn that he will never need a picture of her. To me that was a ominous warning that someone is about to die. But who, Maggie or Glenn? I guess we will find out in season five.
