What this conversation was supposed to be about was #TWD S11(A), thus far, and what, as a result, we might see in the latter trimesters of #TheWalkingDead's 11th and final season. What it became was a holistic analysis of #TWDUniverse on the whole! Luckily, we were able to channel all of that discussion back into the subject at hand, which made for a stupendous conversation!

I know we talk a big game about our Unedited Episode Recordings, but this is one you will definitely want to watch/listen to: especially in the beginning, we talk about things most definitely not fit for public consumption! 🍵Tea was spilled!

Sarabeth Pollock:
David Cameo:

The difficulty of discussing an episode when there are AMC screeners, AMC+ releases, and public airing on AMC networks.
How do we avoid leaks in a time where we're covering two episodes a week for 10 weeks, straight?
Why do people choose to spoil things?
Is the current TWDU release schedule overwhelming?
Sarabeth Pollock has been doing live recaps since True Blood!
Her visit to the set of The Walking Dead: World Beyond!
Instant vs Delayed Gratification.
The Walking Dead Universe: You get a spinoff! You get a spinoff! You get a spinoff!
Fear The Walking Dead reinvents itself every three seasons:

Seasons 1-3 deal with the start of the Zombie Apocalypse
Seasons 4-6 deal with trying to live amidst the Zombie Apocalypse, when the dust settles.
So far, Season 7 deals with nuclear fallout.

Would it be satisfying to have certain characters return after they've disappeared for a long while, like Alex and Tobias?
Why do people hate-watch shows?
How does binging a show versus watching week-to-week affect a viewing experience?
Julia Ormond was hidden from set visitors!
The second half of Fear TWD Season 6 was filmed out of order because Alycia Debnam-Carey was in Australia for a chunk of it (due to COVID-19).
Is the anthology format of Fear The Walking Dead better for the show?
Did being a fan of TWDU change our perspective of the pandemic?
Can you live a good life in the midst of a zombie apocalypse?
What happens if you put all of the kids from TWDU in a room?
Can FTWD or TWD:WB sometimes be more satisfying because there is no clear roadmap to follow?
Was TWD Season 11(A) less satisfying due to a lack of closure?
Perhaps too many storylines: the struggles of Alexandria Safe-Zone, the journey to Meridian, Connie & Virgil versus The Ferals, Daryl Dixon & Leah Shaw, The Reapers, Maggie Rhee versus Negan, The Commonwealth, and more.
Do we need all the references in the comic book reflected in the television show to feel satisfied?
What will Leah's role be in 2nd & 3rd trimesters of Season 11 (assuming she makes it to the latter trimester)?
As opposed to an actual a human being, how does one defeat a dangerous idea?
Is Leah trying to assume Pope's role?
Could Leah be swallowed up by her past?
Can one find peace twice?
Is the possibility of Leah joining our group even possible in light of The Reapers killing Roy & all of Meridian's Wardens (Duncan, Agatha, Frost, and Cole).
What is all of this fighting even for?
What does it say about The Walking Dead that they can still introduce new and interestingly complex characters this late into the game?
What if The Commonwealth storyline is changed due to the introduction of the The Civic Republic (Military)?
Is Yumiko Okumura better suited for Michonne’s comic book arc?
