hopefully carl will not bite the dust but somehow survive the bite. they have to find a way to end the apocalypse. why not carl. when did he get bit. i have watched all of the episodes and it was not last night.

they can't pull the wool over negan's eyes for long. negan tends to turn on the drop of a dime. he is your friend until he bashes your head in with Lucille.

SPOILERS FROM SEASON 8 MID SEASON FINALE

Paul,

He DID get bitten when he was in the woods and found the guy Rick had shot at (a warning shot) Walkers attacked him then.I believe it was last week's episode.

As far as surviving, I really wish he could, but since the bite is on the stomach and not on a limb that can be amputated, I don't see how. If he did surive, IMO it'd be something like Glen under the trash dumpster (jumping the shark a bit). Then too, poor Carl is already missing an eye, can't have him miss a limb too.

When episode started with Carl writing note to his dad, I thought he was contemplating suicide and thought "no that's doesn't sound like Carl. When he confronted Negan telling him to shoot him, Carl knew he had nothing to lose and wanted to end the turmoil.
We, the audience, didn't know until the very last scene as Rick entered the sewer. That long walk toward his son, with everyone kind of looking away, we just KNEW something happened. I love these episodes, even if sad, it's those kinds of surprises/plots that really get you.

Here's video of of when Carl got bitten.

I bet Carl ends up being immune or some shit.

No, I don't think Carl will be back. According to Scott Gimple, he is dead. He will appear in next episode, in which I assume he'll die.

According to this attached article, Chandler Riggs had no idea he was being written off til June when he was told about it. (Btw, his father was not happy about it).

I don't read the comics BUT I hear that TWD comic fans were really shocked and didn't see this coming at all. Apparently, Carl lives on in the comics.

I am sad to see him go because I liked him and he has been a part of the cast from day one. We've watched him grow. Enid will be shocked. I'd rather have seen her go to tell the truth.

I know TWD episodes are NOT all perfect and/or action packed, BUT I love the story of the survival AND surprises like this that nobody sees coming. Still, my favorite show!!!!

TIS, Thanks for posting the vid about Carl getting bit. I couldn't remember when it happened. But watching it you can see the walker's head right by his side where he got bit. They did a good job of hiding it. Carl didn't scream or let on he was bit. You can tell by his reaction that something wasn't right though.

Who do you think will take him out? I think it will be Michonne.

Good question. I just think Rick will be to broken to do it. I guess Michonne would be likely.
I have to watch it again, especially to re-watch that last scene as Rick walks threw the sewer, everyone was quiet, somber and my daughter says nobody looked at Rick. I'll have to see it again.

There are alot of debates going on The Walking Dead FB group pages whether or not they will pull another "Glen" on us when they come back on in February. And some of them are pretty heated. I'm thinking really? It's a tv show. If you want to debate fine but don't let it get to that point.

They had one of the writers/producers on Talking Dead. He said Carl was definitely bitten and will eventually die, likely in the opening of mid-season premier. I know he wasn't popular with some people, BUT I liked the character. Not too many young kids/teenagers/young adults in series.

Btw, it's like The Walking Dead here on the BB. I miss the good ol days.


TIS

Amen to that TIS. I miss the good ol days too.

Carl is gone folks, not sure what the people are thinking when they say he might live. Plus with him about to start at Auburn University here in Alabama I figured it was just a matter of time before he dies.

Poor Carl.. Got to feel for Rick..

I just saw this story about Carl possibly surviving??? I know most of you don't like him. I do, and would like to see him survive. The thing is, I'm not sure how they'll do it.

On the other hand, I found this story where Andrew Lincoln's remarks seem to say the opposite.

http://www.chron.com/entertainment/...ng-Dead-Star-Andrew-Lincoln-12536774.php

I would not mind Carl surviving.

He was only getting annoying trying to be extremely openly liberal to tolerance.

That may be a good idea in certain societies but not in a Zombie apocalypse, or War.

Hope he does.

Hi TIS

The scene we saw at the end of the episode was Carl lying there either scratched or bitten, so im not sure how he can survive.We saw it in season 3 when Hershel was bitten and his lower leg was immediately chopped off and he managed to survive. But with Carl they can't exactly cut his stomach out.

I pretty sure he's going to die in the opening episode of the next season. They will give him a good send off and dedicate the whole episode to him. It won't be such a great loss him dying as i thought it would. I always thought he would have been untouchable earlier on in the series. But he has grown up and hardly featured in the last two seasons.

Not sure how Rick can come back from this.This may be the start of his downfall. Not sure how many seasons this show will end up having but i don't think Rick will survive till the end..

Carl is gone. I used to admire Rick, but he has gotten dumber as the seasons go on, and when him and the group took all the guns from the women on that island, leaving them defenseless, I started rooting for Negan. Also every time Rick and his people find a good place to stay, they wreck it.

Part two of season 8 comes next Sunday. From the episode descriptions, it sounds like most of it will be the same as part one of season 8. I don't see them killing off Negan. I think the big storyline will be King Ezekiel and Carol having a romance. Maybe they will kill one of them off to end season 8.

Be a bummer if Carol gets killed. That really will be the end of TWD if she dies..

Back on this weekend..

Alot of people will be upset when Carl dies.

I will be one of them. I didn't realize what an impact he had on the show until I realize he's actually getting killed off. I know my 15 yr old granddaughter is disappointed. She says she doesn't wanna watch anymore because there's just "old people." LOL I've refrained from re-watching the mid season finale again because of the ending. I'll watch again Sunday before the new episode airs.

Btw, I read a story earlier about an episode (I believe it's the episode where Carl gets bitten, but not sure), in which TWD goofs up and Carl is seen shooting a gun, aiming, looking from his "patched" eye. I didn't even catch it at the time. I'll see if I can find the article/picture and show you

Anyway, looking forward (tho sadly) to FINALLY Sunday's episode.

Found it:

Returns tonight, three hours of WD starting at 7:30

Enjoy

Oh Carl, you wount see him no more.

So Glad that kid ran that guy through.

sad episode. even sadder is it is the 4th year of my mom's passing today. why they got rid of carl is beyond me. his father in real life said they fired him.

SPOILERS FROM MID SEASON 8 PREMIER


Very sad episode. I'm wondering if Carl's words to his dad about (more or less) how you can't kill everybody and for the most part learn to live with what they've already accomplished, will make Rick NOT want to kill Negan. I'm not a violent person, BUT I'd love to see Rick be the one to kick Negan's ass. That guy is horrible.

In the end I think TWD lost a very important character. Carl was there from the beginning, we've seen him go for kid to man and I always imagined HE'D be the one to follow in his dad's footsteps. Now maybe Judith will. I suspected that Carl would be the one to end his life and I'm glad they didn't show the aftermath of the gunshot. . I think Chandler Riggs earned that the entire episode was, for the most part, all about his death. RIP Carl.

Btw, did you see Riggs on Talking Dead? He looks SO different without all the hair.



TIS

Sad and Sorry about your Loss.
I heard the same, about the father mentioned he was fired.

.

Yes, Yes and YES

Also I think Riggs is a very good guy in real life as well.

Just for the info I will say Carl is still alive in the comic. Negan is too.

RIP Carl.

I just watched the season 8 part 2 premiere. Thank God for the fast forward button.

Anyone thinks Rick kills Negan? Speaking of, I need to find the new comic. Think I'm a month behind.
