^Includes a few pictures and an interview.

Looking pretty decent so far. Being a fan of the source material, I'll be watching this for sure.

Heres some scans from issue 75 of TWD which included some some pictures of the actors in full costume. The zombies look amazing. Didn't bother resizing so hope you have a big resolution

if you have me on facebook you probably already know i'm stoked as fuck on this show. my friend ian has a lot of hookups on things like this and got his hands on some unreleased footage and it looks pretty damn badass. i'm a huge fan of the comics and this looks like it's going to be really faithful to those... except when in atlanta rick USES the tank... which i have no quarrels with. this looks like a surefire awesome thing.

Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: defskull on Aug 28, 2010, 01:29 AM
I feel like I'm in such a small minority in saying that the trailer looks pretty meh.  What about it seems different than all the numerous zombie movies and videogames that have come out recently? I want to be excited for this but it looks something I've seen a million times before.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: bright lights, big city on Aug 28, 2010, 02:02 AM
but this ain't no video game or movie, haha. seriously, the make-up alone looks better than most movies. i also get a cool 70s-ish vibe from the trailer. i know its setting is modern, but the filming (and the Walker Brothers song while we're at it) reminds of the cool horror/zombie flicks from 30 years ago.

i've said this before though, that the main reason i looked into this, was the fact that it's on AMC. they're 3 for 3 when it comes to creating new television shows.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: sing blue silver on Aug 28, 2010, 02:12 AM
the walking dead is character based. the zombies are background characters. it's all about how the people handle their situations and existing in this new world. read the comics before you watch it. it's one of the best series out there. i can see it making a great tv show because of all the drama that goes on with the people. it's definitely not your average zombie scare gore fest. it's really more of a character study.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: defskull on Aug 29, 2010, 12:02 AM
Yeah the make up definitely looks legit and I suppose I'll tune in for the pilot.  Like I said I want to like this but nothing has given me a rise in my pants yet.

yeah. the acting has been phenomenal. i don't really dig lori but i hated her in the comics anyway. still i understand ricks love for her and she did get some real emotional reactions from me in the comics. i won't spoil anything for anyone so i won't mention anything but even if i don't like her the comic readers know what i'm getting at.

honestly, new episode was a little bit of a letdown. i'm a fan of Michael Rooker, but i just did not like him and his obvious racism in this. T-Dog too. seriously? T-Dog?

i'm hoping they will. that's the most intense part of the comics. it's going to be quite a while before that happens though. they still have to go to hershel's farm and then to the prison and deal with a whole bunch of stuff before that happens. hopefully the show lasts that long.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: bright lights, big city on Nov 24, 2010, 01:43 AM
well it's supposedly getting good ratings every week, and we're getting up to at least 19 episodes total including the second season. and so far the pacing is pretty good.

thank god Andrea and Dale weren't killed off.  really enjoyed the 1-episode story arc for the finale, even though there wasn't really a cliffhanger.

except for what the doctor whispered to Rick...
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: sing blue silver on Dec 07, 2010, 03:36 AM
honestly, i'm a little disappointed. it was a bit silly and really anti-climactic. almost no payoff for being a season finale. i'll expand on this when i have more time. still a great show but i don't really see it as the walking dead i love.

I know what you mean. I wouldn't exactly say I was disappointed because I still really liked it for what it was- an entertaining, serious zombie tv series. Never thought we'd see the day where everyone can enjoy a zombie series.

But yeah, it had its flaws in its writing (mainly with the Merle character) and execution somewhat. A brand new writing staff definitely raises my hopes quality-wise for the second season.

Mad Men's great and all, but Breaking Bad, dude. Best show on tv. No doubt about it for me, can't recommend it enough if anyone here hasn't tried it. With Mad Men, though, were you disappointed at all with the newest season? I thought it was a letdown.

I didn't think so at all. I think it keeps getting better and better. I enjoy Breaking Bad a whole lot too, not as much as Mad men though. I haven't seen more than the first, and half of the second series of Breaking Bad, so i guess it might grow on me.

I had some serious hopes for that. Then again, anything with Ian McShane is instantly elevated in my mind. The story had some good aspirations, but at times it was just poorly executed and a letdown. It still was good enough for me to watch though if NBC didn't go full retard and cancel it after a month.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series

AMC showed a teaser of season 2 last night during Breaking Bad. Got me excited for October, I guess, but they only showed Rick killing 2 zombies. I was hoping we would at least see something about where they are headed, like the farmhouse or something.

Yup. Is it just me or did Ricks accent get a lot stronger?
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: defskull on Oct 18, 2011, 03:42 AM
The Herd scene was great and then from there the show went into terrible land. When they started looking for the kid I said to my friends "they better not do this the entire episode" and of course that's what they did.

So from there we get a character that no one is emotionally attached to at all crying about a daughter that no one cares about either.

On top of that, we get two cheesy, cliche talks to God about needing a sign and blah blah blah.

Then the episode ends with us still not finding the kid and SPOILERS the boy getting shot.

If he is actually dead I will be very surprised, but I expect him to still be alive next episode. What was interesting about this show is seeing the human drama that comes with a zombie apocalypse, not seeing people look for kids all the time.

I thought the praying scene was pretty ironic. Rick asking God for help and then his own kid ends up getting shot = no God.

I watched season 1 before reading the comics.  I loved it.  After reading the comics, I can see why people hated it.  You gotta view it as 2 separate stories.  The comics are a million times better.  I've never read a comic in my life except a few beavis and butthead ones back in the day.

Exactly. When I tell my friends the show hasn't been that great they always say "ITS NOT ABOUT THE ZOMBIES, ITS ABOUT THE DRAMA" but just because there aren't zombies around doesn't mean there is drama or character development. It's just a bunch of pointless scenes that go nowhere and add nothing to the show. What should have taken maybe 2 or 3 episodes was stretched out to 7. I'd rather have a short, tight season then a long, drawn out season

And yet I will never understand why people keep watching tv shows they don't like or find boring.

For example, this is how I dealt with Falling Skies - watched the Pilot, thought it was shit, deleted it, never had to think about it again.

So why would anyone keep watching The Walking Dead and realize after the mid-season finale of Season 2 that they don't enjoy it? I mean, why would anyone hate their free time so much?
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: defskull on Dec 03, 2011, 08:45 PM
Some shows take awhile to get good. I saw the first season and enjoyed it. Sometimes a show just has a bad season. But if the show does pick up, I believe that it's necessary to sit through the bad episodes to know about details that might come into play later.

So yes I bitch a lot about this show, but I'm doing it because I still have fond memories of it. I've got hope that it picks up. And if it does, I'll be a happy camper.

Good question. My friend's theory and it makes sense, is that everyone is infected already and upon death, everyone turns into a zombie. Probably what the CDC scientist told Rick last season. Shane turned quickly. Randall had no bite marks, but was a zombie.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: Deadradio on Mar 13, 2012, 06:42 PM
Don't know if this is true or not about next weeks episode, but sounds interesting:

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT:

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall.

As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn. Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Hershel passes out the guns.

The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight. Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time.

Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large.The women hold hands and make a run for it as Hershel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her.

Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Hershel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Glenn and Maggie take off as well. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her.

Rick, Carl, and Hershel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendezvous here. Hershel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway.

A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but... in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:

Shane - dead
Andrea - missing
Patricia - taken by the walkers
Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path.

The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together. The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. He reveals that the secret Jenner whispered to him at the CDC was that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them.

Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense... he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo -- she bashes in a walker's head with it -- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her... enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up... in the distance looms a prison facility.

End of Season 2.

Yeah, it was pretty convenient writing, but at least it will propel the series into the third season which Im anticipating if they play it right, will out do both previous seasons

We get it; you have a massive hard on for the comics and you're butthurt that the show didn't follow them precisely.

Chill out.

I was with you until a couple weeks ago. My main complaint was the show refused to fucking go anywhere with plots and the setting. Are you still watching these episodes though? Because I thought they way they've done the last 2 episodes (especially this past one) was maybe not spot on with the books, but was definitely badass and worthy of the WD name.

The end of that last episode was certainly tense, and as a viewer that has not read the comics, I honestly was not sure who was going to die. I did enjoy that. Unfortunately the show spent so much time dicking around with the characters that when two major characters in two weeks die, it's not that big of a deal. I was just happy that something finally happened.

Game of Thrones, on the other hand, ended that episode with Ned's decapitation and jaw was just open. That's the reaction that should occur when killing off a main character. Boardwalk Empire did it too.

The Walking Dead is terrible but I keep coming back thinking that suddenly things will be better.

But he's still alive! Usually the token black = first to die. I like him a lot more because overcame the "token trope", haha.

Either way, let's hope they continue from the 1st episode because this show is at its best when zombies are dropping like flies and characters aren't whining or singing or chilling or even talking at all.

I'm liking this season, but I have a few complaints.
1. I'm getting tired of Michonnes "mysterious, don't trust anybody act" either start developing her character or kill her off. Also, she couldn't tell Rick and Daryl that some guy named Merle took Maggie and Glenn, or that he only had one hand? Come on.
2. The Governor is supposed to be a character you hate. He's weird, but hasn't done anything to make the viewers hate him. In the comic he would have had his way with Maggie during that interrogation. I understand it has to be toned down for tv, but come on. The second half of the season hopefully will portray him as the sick bastard he is in the comic.
3. Andrea-kill this annoying bitch

That's what I'm saying. Aside from being on the creepy side, I don't understand what he's done that people are saying he's already one of the best tv villains out there. He's supposed to be pure evil.
And Andrea, she is getting annoying, but she's nowhere near the level of Lori, thank goodness. And nice to see a thong though in the zombie apocalypse.

he killed off a whole squad of soldiers because he wanted their supplies. that's not that nice, is it? and I think that other than that it's mostly the implication of him being manipulate as hell and able to do anything to get his way. I think that's a lot creepier that your typical evil-for-evil's-sake villain.

I agree that Michonne needs to be developed more or just killed off. she was really interesting at first, but so far they haven't explained a single thing about her. and her not-trusting-anyone thing went from realistic and believable to completely illogical and almost childish.

still loving this season though, so much better than 2.

That is true. It's really great this season. I guess the Governor just needs an evil mustache to accent the bad. I'm just not getting it.

Especially compared to Boardwalk Empire, where I anticipate every scene with Gyp Rosetti, who's lines and delivery are so hilarious and his actions so terrifyingly unpredictable.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: Jacob on Nov 28, 2012, 08:50 PM
what I also find interesting about the Governor is that he isn't necessarily all evil. we still don't know his exact motivations, if he actually cares about his people the way he says. or if it's all about him. morally ambigious greyzones all over the place. but you'd rather have him as a complete douchebag with a "hate me, I'm evil" sign around his neck?
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: bright lights, big city on Nov 28, 2012, 09:03 PM
Oh no, I'm just kidding with that, stereotypical evil dude twiddling his mustache, haha. I'm just saying he isn't really a terrible guy. I could see Rick doing most of what the Governor does. Yet I read online and have friends saying he's one of the best TV villains out there. Given the setting, I'd say Mad Men has someone more evil than the Governor.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: BillyNo.9 on Nov 29, 2012, 12:10 AM
I'm guessing the governor was an Elvis impersonator before the outbreak. I hope they touch on who Michonnes pet zombies were. That'd be an emotional and disturbing way to develop her character.

What did everyone think of the finale? I thought they could have ended it a bit better, like at least have Rick and gang get back to the prison and tell everyone to prepare for an attack or something. Looks like they're making the Governor take a turn to the more evil side though, and another black guy down just as a new one is introduced lol

I think the thing that makes him MOST evil would be the fact that it's hard to TELL that he is.  Isn't there a saying, "The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't exist."??  I would say that as time goes by we'll see more of his "evil" appear, but I'm pretty sure it is intentional to portray him as someone just doing the best he can mainly for the benefit of Andrea's character.  We're seeing him from her view, and then also bits and pieces of his real side.  No bad man is 100% bad, and no good man is 100% good.. there are levels and degrees.

Just my thoughts
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: BillyNo.9 on Dec 07, 2012, 04:39 AM
We already saw how evil he was when interrogating Glen and Magie. Tyrese is the main black guy in the comics I think, so he'll probably have a lot more depth than those token niggas.

This show is a dream come true for me.

The original Dawn of the Dead is my favorite horror film of all time and I couldn't believe it when they said they were going to make a TV show based on the same circumstance.In saying series one was a slight let-down for me, not much originality when you blatantly rip off 28 Days, but from series two onward I've been hooked.I'm also really digging the fact they are killing such major characters off.It's staying really true to the genre imo.

Really looking forward to see how the whole thing is concluded.Season 3 has been friggin awesome so far.

She kissed him on the cheek this episode. Really hope they don't make more of that and pull a story arc out of their ass where she's trying to get with Rick.

I don't have the patience to follow a series like this any-more (I blame Lost) but I admire this show for not going down the typical slasher zombie path, I think it's actually a cleverly disguised story about the relationships between people, most of the people killed have been killed by other people not walkers and alot of the time it's other people that are the real enemy the walkers don't even do that much to seriously threaten them unless there's a big hoard of something.

a few notes:

Who's the broad with the trojan horse of zombies? Andrea?
Can someone tell me why Maggie and Glenn are getting so lame in these last couple episodes? Why is she so pissed off with him?
Why are we (and Glenn) just finding out now that she wasn't raped? Horrible writing, that's why.
Even in death, Lori is annoying.
Well that was a lot of wasted ammo, and a great time for everyone to suddenly forget how to get a f'ing headshot.
More Tyrese and his crew plz.

Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: deftoner664 on Feb 20, 2013, 01:02 AM
@ bright lights: She's just pissed off at Glenn and reacted that way because she was angry because she's trying to suppress the trauma she faced when the Governor violated/humiliated her like that, although he didn't rape her, it was hard for her to explain to him without surfacing them emotions. But wtf, I'd wana know if he raped her, Glenn had the right to know.. I also think the directors want to highlight how their mindsets and mental well being of the whole group is diminishing due to all the trauma they've faced so far ( not to mention Ricks' current state).
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: Visitant on Feb 20, 2013, 02:23 AM
If you watched it and payed attention it was very clear that Maggie wasn't raped.  The point was for the Governor to show power over her and that he COULD'VE raped her if he wanted to.  She also never told Glen that she was or wasn't raped either way and Glen just assumed something went down.  Pay attention.

Pay attention.
You got it boss. Kind of hard sometimes though, when 37 of the 42 minutes of each episode is painfully dull and feels like unnecessary bullshit.

Builds tension, bro.  And when you got Glen tied to a chair in a room with a zombie and Maggie shirtless and bent over a table with the Governor behind her, I'd probably pay attention.  But that's just me  ;)

I'm still digging it.

My only fear is if they drag it out too long.4 seasons is enough (personally I thought 3 was a stretch)....else it will become as shit as Lost turned out to be.

16 episodes as well.......looks like a LOT of filler will be used.

It does become way too slow most of the time. The story is what keeps in interesting, I still sure as hell want to know what's going to happen next, and they manage to throw some pretty exciting scenes in there. But they could easily tell the same story and have all the same shit happening, but within half the amount of episodes.

And the show still suffers from some horrible acting and simply awful characters. Which is a shame, because some of the acting is instead grand and some of the characters are awesome. I soo want to see Andrea finally die off and pay for her god damn stupidity. And while I still think Michonne is really cool, I hope they either kill her off too or finally let her evolve a bit. She is still the exact same way as the first episode we saw her. There's not one little sign of character development in her. And the damn visions? I was hoping we were finally rid of Laurie, but I guess not...

This shows writers really can't write good female characters, now that I think of it. They're all helpless idiots who need men to guide them, and the one strong independant woman they throw in is the most shallow and least developed character on the show.

I think they are trying to evolve Michonne, and thank god for that because I really like her. Since my last comment, I'll admit they've churned out a few good episodes. We all know they're just stalling until the big finale, but that Governor/Rick meeting episode was solid. Probably my favorite episode of the entire series was the one with just Rick, Carl, and Michonne going on a run and bonding in the process, with that appearance of Morgan.

Still though, give us more Tyreese please.

Aside from the obvious "WTF The Governor survives?" statement, I actually really liked that finale. And I'm totally with Carl. In a war, when someone tells you to drop the gun, you drop the gun. Don't say "Here, take it" and keep it pointed at him.

I think after killing Lori he just lost any and all emotion,and doesn't give a shit. I kept telling the dude DROP THE GUN,but he kept moving forward,so his fault.  He didn't seem to like the fact that they brought those people to the prison though. I think it's good they did,they can add to the story with them being there.

Overall I feel like theres too much complaining about this series.

Especially when I read stuff like theres only few good minutes in each episode or that the series was never good to begin with, whats the point in watching f you're not enjoying it?

Personally I liked the season finale a lot. Andrea obviously at her best again, taking all the time in the world chatting with Milton while he dies and then when he's about to turn she finally hurries... classic Andrea in her last minutes

haha so true. There more I talk about this or think about it, the more I agree with the showrunners about the Governor. The fans obviously love him. He's now one of the most compelling characters, and he sets up the next season well. If they killed him they would be completely starting from scratch and just trying to find another cartoony villain to 1-up the Governor.

Remember a couple months when I was pissed that he was this shitty cartoon villain that really hadn't done anything that horrible (in my opinion)? Well fucking finally... that last episode and a half were awesome. THAT was evilness I wanted to see from earlier in the season, and now he's truly a despicable character that everyone loves to hate.

And Carl might be going down the same path.

Agreed. So much unnecessary bitching about this show.

Sure, first half of Season 2 sucked, but Season 1 and 3 have both been awesome.

I was disappointed with the finale. It had some good moments, but also a lot of derp moments. The whole Andrea thing was just silly. We're supposed to care about her, after everything she's done? Especially after she takes her sweet time talking about her feelings while the dude in front of her is dying and about to turn into a zombie? Killing off Merle, the most complex character on the show with a lot of potential, was a bad bad idea. Talking about "going to war" for several episodes and ending up with that stupid shit that went down, recipe for anti-climax. Seriously, they were a big group, armed with grenade launchers and .50 cal machine guns, and they're chased away by a handful of zombies, some fireworks and 4 people shooting at them? Ridiculous. And then, the governor shoots down a whole bunch of people, everyone of them armed, without anyone reacting. Not a SINGLE ONE of those people thought about raising their gun in defense. Not even the last guy, who knew for sure he was gonna get shot, even tried taking down the governor first.

The show IS good. It has so much good stuff going for it, but they keep fucking it up by not thinking things through and doing random stuff for effect. Most of the time, it feels like they don't write more than one episde at a time, improvising as they go.

Oh, and I hate the governor. Sad to see he didn't die. I didn't want him in the next season. But I'm betting they're saving him for a grand return further down the line.

It was a good episode but as a finale it was very anti-climactic, even Kirkman himself said they were building toward a big confrontation for the finale, and then...nothing. The show has a lot of potential but its on what? Its third show runner now? I actually wanted them to flesh the prison arc to two seasons, because in the comic they make the prison more of a home, but if they were going that route I think they should have waited to introduce the governor in the second half of this season, and make his first assault on the prison the finale.
Kirkman said there are radical changes coming for season 4. What changes would everyone like to see? Any bets on what female character they make viewers hate? lol

I actually get the feeling the finale was kind of a big "fuck you let's how you dig yourself out of this shit" from Glen Mazzara after they gave him the boot.

Anyone still excited to Season 7?

I am even when I just started Season 4...

I also wanted the Governor to be killed but as the things were flowing, killing him would be like an easy job... also, I didn't like Merle at first, but just when I started liking him... well...

So I've just finished Season 6, and will start S7 later today or tomorrow, but to start with, I think I like more The Governor than Negan. Think his character is more interesting though in the series we couldn't see many things about his past.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead AMC Series
Post by: BewareTheWater on Dec 21, 2016, 02:30 AM
I dropped this show a while ago, but I think Negan is the only reason I'd consider coming back to it.

I'm thinking he's a bit overacted, but it is being interesting to discover that he and the Saviours had made such a big impact in a very wide region (S7.E6) so it will be interesting how it will evolve and see the real panorama when happens the Saviours vs the communities. Also, would be good to see some of his background and how's that he's reached all that power.
