I still don't know how we did it, but we managed to break down the more than 2-hour Season Finale of TWDWB's 1st season, episode 1x09 & 1x10 ("The Deepest Cut" & "In This Life", respectively) in just over 2 hours! We take a REALLY close look at Huck's actions throughout the season, ALL of our characters' rapid growth (in particular our designated #MVP, #EltonOrtiz), and what direction our characters seem to be heading by the end of it.

OH. MY. GAWD. This episode threw us for a loop (in the most wonderful way)! We demonstrate how various characters choose to deal with the lies they've been living with: Silas has no choice but to confront his past and accept it; Hope finally relents and reveals the truth to Elton, after taking some twists and turns along the way; and Huck is what happens when living in the prison of one's own lies is taken to its logical conclusion

Who does this damage most and what lengths might someone go in order to keep their "monsters" at bay? We find out a lot about the skeletons Huck's kept in her closet and how they connect and affect the rest of our characters, but mostly Hope.

Should our protagonists(?) be thinking locally or globally? Is #SilasPlaskett's allegiance going to be tested? #JenniferMallick is starting to realize that her mother, #ElizabethKublek, might actually be a monster (and that she might be one by proxy). And terrific performance by #NicholasCantu as #EltonOrtiz, this episode!
So we definitely cut out a lot of behind the scenes moments from before and definitely after this episode. To join in the chat in our next recording, like Mario did, as well as download the unedited version of this episode, all while supporting this podcast, head here:

David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
Sherrandy Swift:
AKA @BlazyGardener

  • [Editor's Note: Dave clearly didn't edit the beginning of this podcast]
  • Get ready to participate in our #TWDUniverse Secret Santa! DM Sherrandy to get on the list! Essentially, you will be assigned a random TWDU character, to whom you will fabricate a gift (whether it be real, photoshopped, bought in a store, said out loud - be creative/have fun)! You will have the opportunity to swap your character with other #TWDFamily member, too! Here's a look at last year's TWDU Secret Santa video:
  • The wrong end of a kill-stick/telescope. Conflict in this episode and every episode gets better.
  • What episode are we covering? Reminiscing on older SQUAWKING DEAD episode difficulties (while having current difficulties).
  • [Editor's Note: we go into a conversation about how it's possible Felix Carlucci knows Percy Delmado is gunning for Jennifer Mallick/Huck, but we know why because both he and Elton Ortiz must've caught everyone up]
  • Huck's world is crashing around her as she's realizing how much bad she's responsible for. The same may be applied to Lt. Col. Elizabeth Kublek.
  • Our theory about both Portland being in Texas (not Oregon, ties into Fear The Walking Dead nicely) and Major General Beale being Jadis/Anne are seemingly both incorrect. Is Rick Grimes Mr. Beale?!
  • Even Dave is having trouble covering for Iris Bennett, but notes the contrast of her character against others (especially Percy).
  • You hate in others what you hate in yourself: Dave strikes at the heart of why Rachael, in particular (but perhaps #TWDFamily, as well), wouldn't like Iris. We know far too much the cost of standing on principle in #TWDUniverse.
  • Watching Iris and Hope Bennett part ways was difficult. Remembering that Bennetts are teenagers (ergo: not thinking things through). Iris might be "butthurt" over not being chosen by the Civic Republic Military - or, at least, not used to Hope not being in her shadow. Things would've been worse if they would've chosen Iris (or, at least, not as interesting).
  • We're here for Dennis & Silas Plaskett's relationship. Maximilian Osinski's body would destroy Hal Cumpston's. The Culling & Maintenance kids' "training ground" is a post-apocalyptic video game.
  • Hope & Silas' path forward might be difficult. Silas, in light of this newfound family, and Hope, with the possibility of the cure. The only way out is through? Both Hope & Iris think locally and globally, in their own way.
  • It's entirely possibly that one or the other sister might die and what that might mean for the greater #TWDUniverse; Mason's Master Controller (him stepping a little out of bounds) might be useful for Hope if she joins the effort to wreck the CRM; and Portland's fate is still unclear, but Hope knows more about the CRM today than she did yesterday, and it might mess with her.
  • Speaking of Mason, it seems like he's dipping his toes in both camps: clearly has access to things and does what he's told, but steps out of bounds here and there. Mason Belshaw? Mason General Beale?
  • Silas divulges to Dennis the reason why he tries to leave the Culling & Maintenance Outpost, but understanding Dennis imparts some sage wisdom. It is still unclear whether Dennis knows the killer whom Silas is referencing (Huck), but ostensibly does not appear he's aware. We need to interview Max.
  • Pulling some cool information off of Indira's insulin bottle. Why it's important that others, like Brody, don't know she's ill (at least at this stage); parallel with Hope's childhood trauma (the irony of Elton discovering this). Dave's imagination runs wild; Fused walker in the Culling & Maintenance facility; Scott M. Gimple makes cast-members paranoid (and his spoilers suck).
  • Deconstructing the plethora of sources spurring Elton's panic attack.
  • Say what we all will about characters that we're having trouble digesting, they are nudging the conflict, so it's not all bad: Iris may actually be a psychopath while Percy becomes the responsible one?!
  • Ithaca, NY: where The Walking Dead: World Beyond's story ends. Is the Civic Republic one large city or a Confederation of settlements? Or both? The Civic Republic/The Commonwealth aware of one another?
  • Picking more bones: Leaving the Perimeter's armory unlocked.
  • The necessity of seeing (is believing) Daniel and Margaret fishing Huck our of the river in Omaha: Even Huck saved some people. Remembering Huck's father, Mr. Mallick, and what he represents to both Kublek and Huck. The significance of seeing Jennifer give herself her scar in both Season 1 and Season 2. Symmetry between Silas and Hucks scars/wounds: remembering. Huck & Dennis are married?

Huck or #JenniferMallick? Killer/Savior or Daughter? #Jadis / #JadisStokes: Friend, Foe, or neither? "Who are you?" might actually be an ironic title: that we're much more than a binary "Good Guy" or "Bad Guy" and that it's taken a hell of a road to get to where we are. Maybe it's not too late? It's never too late.
Some technical difficulties in the original recordings that flew under the wire, which made the edit take a little longer than usual to produce, but we cut out a TON of laughter and behind the scenes moments throughout! If you'd like the unlisted link to our uncut recording while supporting the BEST #TWDUniverse #podcast, head on over here:

David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
Sherrandy Swift:
AKA @BlazyGardener

  • Alex Skuby (and his ZenAF.tv podcast partner, Wayne?) in the next episode of Fear The Walking Dead. Alex is married to Sarah Rabinowitz herself, Mo Collins.
  • Enjoying these satisfying episodes (didn't feel like we ran out of time) as well as the Jennifer Mallick and Jadis Stokes scenes.
  • Language/Religion binds and blinds.
  • Jadis hints at her something valuable (Rick Grimes). Honing in on what 'A's are vs. 'B's
  • The Civic Republic (Military) worships themselves while Asha prays for Will Campbell and her brother, Dev.
  • Felix Carlucci chips away at what he knows to be good in Huck (which makes Jadis right about her). Elizabeth Kublek pushed Huck to her found family. Huck channels her mother: looks out for and cleans up after Felix.
  • What side is Jadis on? Why the surname Stokes? She might already know that Percy Delmado is not Elton Ortiz.
  • What's a narc? Mario thinks Brody told the CRM about Will and Dev's plan to infiltrate the Civic Republic Research Facility.
  • We remind the audience of our theory that the CRM allows everyone to continue with their schemes, rather than stop them right away.
  • The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one: Like his own mother/father, Elton just doesn't want to see Asha lose her mom, Indira, should the CR RF fall (no more saline dialysis).
  • Why does everyone in #TWDUniverse have a twin, all of a sudden?!
  • Everyone sort of giving Iris Bennett the side-eye in the beginning.
  • Dave sees Iris hesitate before sending the dead-drop message: Does she want someone to stop her? Makes it so taking out the CRM is out of her hands.
  • Does Jadis already know that Huck took out the transformer?
  • The possible significance of Kublek keeping the Project V docs in a safe with her keepsakes.
  • Jadis is a good person deep down.
  • Can Lyla Belshaw be trusted? Iris inadvertently triggers Lyla's memories of her family.
  • Barca is still alive.
  • How much bad needs to be done for the greater good? How much of your soul can you parcel before it's too much?
  • Feeling the blood in our own ears as Leo Bennett's memories are triggered when Lyla drops the bag of clothes.
  • Why Anne embraced her fake name, "Jadis"
  • Iris' admission to Hope Bennett about the CRM soldier she killed darkly mirrors Hope's admission of killing Amelia Ortiz (Elton's mother) last season.
  • Try as we might, we strongly believe Huck doesn't know Silas Plaskett is detained by Jadis.
  • Keep an God damned eye on Corporal Pierce, who may be Major General Beale's right-hand.
  • What in the world is this pre-apocalypse date doing on the Project V forms: 04-02-02?
  • The last of Lyla's colleagues (unnamed doctor that is not Samuel Abbott) terminates a BO4 for subject P1107 in front of the other doctors using his GPS/controller. Why?
  • That is not Rick's murder jacket among the pile of donated clothes meant for Felix and Percy.

[Episode 158] The Walking Dead: World Beyond |2x03| Exit Wounds

Why miss out? Subscribe to our blog via E-Mail!


↑↑Click the above graphic to listen in your favorite Podcasts App↑↑


Just when #JenniferMallick thought she might have one good day, #LeoBennett comes in like a wrecking ball and turns her world beyond upside-down. Between that, the knowledge that her clemency may have come at a cost (even though she's choosing to focus on the positive), and how (by the end of it) Percy is gunning for her, it seems like Huck is beset on all sides.
So, here's the deal, after we ended the recording, we decided to jump down the science rabbit hole and discuss the formula on #TBrooksEllis ' digital board, which was pretty fun. Between the behind-the-scenes pre-show and the many laughs & hilarious technical difficulties, why not support the #podcast and download/stream the Unedited Episode Recording?

David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
Sherrandy Swift:
AKA @BlazyGardener

πŸŽ–SURVIVORS TIER MEMBERS:
Jasmine:

  • Why Exit Wounds? Dennis' mistake causing Jennifer Mallick to leave (not just Percy Delmado's wound).
  • But were Percy & Tony Delmado's lives peachy? Performers without crowds that now have an audience.
  • Iris Bennett "treating" Percy; Percy is otherwise distracted. And every day isn't like the last.
  • Hoes in other area codes: But are other settlements the exception, not the rule? And The Walking Dead: World Beyond is only a short time behind The Walking Dead (flagship show)
  • Tying up poor horses and Dakota firepits. Elton Ortiz finally hauling ass (for turnips?!)
  • Turns out Dave was right about Perimeter colony protecting the Civic Republic Research Facility (by way of radioactive waste warnings). Callbacks to Siddiq (by way of calling Empties "Vessels") and Elton is the Carl Grimes of the show?
  • Sherrandy's amazing theory of why Omaha/Campus Colony were going to be threats to the Civic Republic Military. Dave takes it a little further.
  • Still trying to associate Huck saving the colony dwellers during the fall (when she was a Marine). "Beauty in the darkness" (the essence of TWD World Beyond): because why focus on the negative?
  • Etymology of Asha & Dev. Elton's devastation and resemblance to John Dorie (of Fear The Walking Dead).
  • Empties/Vessels in the clearing were not Asha & Dev's doing and the flaw in Dennis' logic about the Culling Facilities. Filming inconsistencies.
  • T. Brooks Ellis, Eugene Porter's mentor at The Human Genome Project, is Hope Bennett's professor.
  • Parallels to the Bennett sister's asking Silas Plaskett to their party in the pilot to Mason inviting hope to the Omaha remembrance party. Hope still having flashbacks to their journey wakes her into action: seeking out Iris and Felix Carlucci.
  • More hints that The Civic Republic is a string of settlements, united as one (E Pluribus Unum) and Portland's potential dark fate(?).
  • Leo Bennett may not be aware of Lyla Belshaw's special lab where (walker) Dr. Samuel Abbott is kept. Hope may be on her way to figuring this out.
  • At Mason's party, Omaha's symbol is placed on a "neutralization" vat: twisted. SURVIVORS tier member, Jasmine, trusts Mason.
  • Second Chances: Iris might eat her words about Percy's loss and moving on; Hope might instinctually take her advice. How their father factors into this calculus.
  • The significance of using Jenga as a parallel to The Civic Republic.
  • It Only Takes One Night by Dum Dum Girls and it's connection to Dennis' relationship with Huck and, also, the destruction of Omaha/Campus Colony (possibly Portland). Corporal Pierce may already be monitoring Staff Sergeant Mallick's movements (how the CRM roles).
  • Will Percy pull back? The Perimeter will most-likely side with Jennifer in the event of a conflict (also, Huck's corpse would mean their destruction).
  • Leo's confrontation with Huck (or whatever she calls herself) speaks to something greater than getting his family back.
  • Jasmine expertly follows Dr. Ellis science, whether intentionally faulty or not. Either way, he seems like a Fungi.

Originally Recorded: 2020/12/18
Edited for our podcast: 2021/01/14
Joined by Steve, from Aim For The Head podcast, Lizzie invites us all over to Brains Gone Bad in order to discuss our thoughts on The Walking Dead: World Beyond's 1st season. It was a real treat to exchange our feelings and perspectives and, by the end of it, I think we all got something out of it and we wanted to share that with you!

David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
BRAINS GONE BAD
AIM FOR THE HEAD podcast

  • "How has Rick Grimes NOT taken out the CRM?" ... "Can’t do much without his boots".
  • Huck’s backstory: Liam O'Leary, from Undead Walking (incorrectly referenced as Cameron Bonomolo, from Comicbook.com) says it could be made up. Huck's BIG mistake.
  • Scenes/Characters with impact: Shadow Puppets.
  • Elton: Worried about his future. But don’t be, "No one dies anymore!"  Prepared or not?
  • Canned foods: Only good for about 18 months; Mountain Dew gate; Skunky beer and SMEAT.
  • Who loves flashbacks?: LOVING Huck’s; Reflecting on a disappointing FearTWD Season 1
  • Initial description of TWD World Beyond: 2 sisters take different paths.
  • Pacing of the show: Slower pace, but for a reason; See the beauty in the scenery/story.
  • Lizzie & Joe Holt ("Leo Bennett"): Stay Tuned.
  • Cause & Cure: Will we get answers? Dave hates flashbacks (on the original TWD), but everyone else pretty much loves them (or at least the possibility).
