Future story Theory

[Stuv]

I am just saying that the Maller story, if it goes beyond what we all think is going to happen with an attack on the Colony, may start to become played out. SPOILER SPOILER, but in the Walking Dead comic, the same type of story is constantly getting played out over and over. Rick and crew find a safe place, humans attack, people die, they leave, rinse and repeat. We will see. Maybe Durai will become more of a player if he is at the Colony, or maybe a situation where they all realize they must team up to defeat. Maybe we have just created 2 new groups within the fan base. The Zombiers and the Mallerers.

I agree that the zombies are the stars of the show. I think however that one of the most interesting aspects of these types of stories is the reaction of human beings. Whatever caused the zombie otbreak in WA has caused two primary reactions in un-infected people in my opinion 1. Agression and a desire for power over others(The Mallers). and 2. A desire for a group to belong to for both survival and companionship(The Tower Crew). I am generalizing I know but I think these feelings drive the motives and actions of both groups leading them to engage in both extermly selfless and extremley selfish actions. It is these decsions that make them so compelling. Plus, as the zombie threat increses perhapes the Mallers and the Tower Crew may have to embrace the whole " the enemy of enemy is my friend" idea.

I don’t want to sound as if I’m completely dismissing the importance of the zombies. I do agree that season 4 will increasingly feature them, and they will be the focus of the series finale. I just feel that there is too much story potential left for the Mallers/Colonists for them to be dealt with by the end of this season. This is especially true of Scratch, Gatekeeper, and Durai. We hardly know anything about the latter two, and I do think we will learn more. I would be surprised if the main human antagonists are finished off before the middle of season 4.

I agree with Nik that the zombies are essentially environmental dangers. I view them like the triffids in John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids. Yes, they are fascinating -- you want to know how they originated, and how they can be stopped, and if they have intelligence, etc. The actual conflict in the story though, comes from the humans, and is driven by their differing reactions to the environmental threat.

What ever happens, we can all agree that is going to be awesome and some tears will be shed by the end.

I see a huge shift in the story line from "a story of survival" to a zombie-drama-apocalypse or a "zomdramacalypse". Yes!!! A new term coined. I googled it too.

Saul mistakes Bricks and Lizzys relationship and who the baby daddy is. A love triangle between Chinwe, Saul, and Lizzy, ensues after Lizzy finds out Chinwe has been using her "choke hold" on Saul.

Michael and Riley start a new relationship when their vertical friendship hugging turns into horizontal hugging. Lets face it, Michael lost Pegs and Riley lost Angel and Lizzy who else are they going to turn to. Riley is probably initiates the affair because in a relationship between the two, Riley would be the "man". Things get complicated when Pegs returns saying she can't live without Michael and Riley finds out that Lizzy is alive.
