Talking Through Stories We Tell Ourselves!

For episode 156 of The Walking Dead Talk Through, Dead City Edition, LT, Kyle, and Brian talk through The Walking Dead: Dead City, Season 1, Episode 5, titled Stories We Tell Ourselves. Written by Brenna Kouf and directed by Gandja Monteiro. Truths are unearthed and motives are revealed as Maggie, Negan and the others travel further into the city’s depths.

Big Walker Boss was the Boss of this episode but most everything else was a snooze.

Hey survivors, Well, it looks like not only did you all not really like this episode, we were in the same boat. The Negan and Marshall interaction was pretty good, but the Maggie and Ginny sewer adventures were kind of boring. In true red shirt fashion, the Leftover Yorkers, Amaia and Tommaso, were taken out by walkers that you could see from a mile away. I mean, really, taking a break in the middle of a room full of staked dead bodies, and you don’t even think to yourself, maybe one of these is a walker that could kill me? I mean, come on. It was a missed opportunity by the writers when just after that, we got one of the most creative walkers we have ever seen. The Walker King was so freaking and terrifying. It was the best part of this episode by far, and they could have used that scene better than what we got. Also, we didn’t know her name or what she was being called, but Glynis referred to the new character as The Dama. Who is she? Why are we just not seeing her with only one more episode to go? So The Croat is not the main villain and who are these other people we saw there? So many questions, and are we even going to get an answer? Brian made a good point in that the sneak peek for next week did not refer to that episode as the finale, so is this show really over? Or were they holding back news that we are getting more? because from how it feels there is not enough time to wrap this all up with just one more episode. So that will be something we will see next week.

So Enjoy as LT, Kyle, and Brian discuss this week’s episode, Stories We Tell Ourselves.

We want to start offering Patrons a real reason to stay on our Patreon and to get more people to become Patrons. As such, we are going to start experimenting with bringing you some new content that will really make it worth your while to be subscribed.

We are going to try offering Patrons early access to our regular episodes. These versions of the episodes will be less polished than the final version of the podcast, will largely be uncensored, may contain things we fix up in the final version (like when we speak over each other, awkward silences, etc.), content that we remove from the final version and may not have all of the sound effects mixed in properly (and in the case of this episode, doesn’t have the beginning and ending music mixed in at all).
