    Is that a reference to the Rick Grimes movies? If not, I have never heard of a 3rd series.

    Yes. I saw that on youtube. They've already cast some of the roles and they are starting filming this summer. Probably we'll learn a bit more at the comic-con. I think it features the first generation that was born after the apocalypse.

    I'm wondering if this series won't focus on the older version of these kids from this season.

    Assuming, as I am, that this series ends with this season and characters either die or end up on a different series (Morgan, Dwight, Al, in the Rick movies). I wonder if the kids won't move on to find their own place, and that's what the new series will be. Jumping ahead 10 years and seeing what these kids have become.

    I don't see too many people being interested in the first generation born after the apocalypse, particularly with the comic book series ending and us now getting a peek into the "far after" universe.

    Their best bet would've been to tell a story from the beginning again, showing a character that slowly took the path of a Governor or Negan type.

    I didn't know the comics would be showing a "far after!" That's cool!

    I guess the Apocalypse Generation was just a natural thing for the writers to think about.

    A Governor or Negan ish storyline wouldn't work for me. They'd never be able to get me to empathize with sociopathic behavior. The genesis of their conduct just wouldn't matter to me. It's like a defense attorney setting out the grim details of the horrible childhoods of modern day psychopaths. I'd still have a cold heart and want them warehoused for life.

    People have often suggested that that would be an interesting perspective, but I can't see it working for me. It's true I loved Breaking Bad and watched Dexter, so it can be done, but I still can't imagine a ruthless, menacing person in the apocalypse ever being anything but upsetting to me.

    Oh yeah it would have to be done right. The key is showing a person's human side and not having them just indiscriminately killing like the Governor murdering the national guard people in cold blood. That wouldn't work for me either. Since you were lured into Breaking Bad I think if it was done right it could work for you too in the TWD universe.

    Every damn time I sign on and see the title for this thread I instantly start singing (in my head)

    I'm still standing better than I ever did
    Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
    I'm still standing after all this time
    Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

    Perfect! This can be an anthem song when he is out of office, and also when he dies. I just tried it out, changing the pronouns to plurals. I can hear the whole nation singing in the future, in my head. Well, half the nation. It drowns out the other half's malicious mob chants gloriously.

    Trump. Sorry! I had been up all night. I'm up now at noon after 5 hours of solid sleep. I had responded to several posts over in the Trump thread and then I hit this thread just before I fell into bed. Even in my grogginess, I belatedly realized what I had done, but I so needed to sleep, I couldn't be bothered to come back and edit my weird self. Just pretend I am a writer on FTWD. lol

    I'm still going to be belting out that song though!!! :D

    It's okay the T in PTSD will be changed from traumatic to Trump when all of this is over.
