We are the Walking Dead

Rick's "We are the walking dead" speech. from episode 5x10.

The moment you realise the title doesn't refer to the zombies, but the survivors.

[@jessieshand4287]

+fran jaff he definitely didn't make the comic with that idea because he didn't say that in the comic till issues like 30 or 40

[@luigicrisci9219]

+Jessies Hand It is Issue 24, i just finished reading it for the first time :D (I just recently started reading the comics :s) Anyway, I think the outlook on the survivors and society, both before and after the zombie apocalypse, was meant from the beginning...maybe Kirkman thought about the "pun" later, but the meaning of it was definetely meant to surface, one way or another :D

[@sethcosgrove816]

Luigi Crisci honestly I enjoy the books more, the next one comes out in September

[@SamFisher007]

no shit

[@CrazeeAdam]

Most of them. But Daryl refutes Rick's opinion in private and says he doesn't believe him. Or something to that extent. But yeah, at that point in the that season things were pretty low if I remember right.

[@mrnobody1658]

When I was a kid...
I asked my grandpa once if he ever
killed any Germans in the war.
He wouldn't answer.
He said that was
grown-up stuff, so...
so I asked if the Germans
ever tried to kill him.
But he got real quiet.
He said he was dead the minute
he stepped into enemy territory.
Every day he woke up
and told himself,
"Rest in peace.
Now get up
and go to war."
And then after a few years
of pretending he was dead...
he made it out alive.
That's the trick of it, I think.
We do what we need to do
and then we get to live.
But no matter
what we find in DC,
I know we'll be okay.
Because this is how we survive.
We tell ourselves...
that we are the walking dead.

The greatest moment in Walking Dead history, until Daryl fucks it up with "No we're not".

[@billawoh3560]

I loved the whole thing, Ricks speech, Daryl response, Aaron busting in through the barn doors with a lightning strike. Definitely was the greatest moment in the entire series, until last night. The choir singing the bob dylan song competes with this.

[@mihaa94sky]

Yep, Daryl screws everything, but fanboys and fangirls think anything he does is good without using common sense...

[@MadeonEarthProductions]

I hate the fact that fans defend Daryl in any occasion, for example when he punched Negan and Glenn got killed as a result. In an interview also Norman Reedus (the actor) said that he expected also his fandom to hate him for what he did, but instead they kept saying it wasn't his fault.

[@billawoh3560]

Daryl just is who he is, he makes mistakes like the rest of them, sometimes those mistakes get people killed; they've all done it at some point of another. Carole is one of my favorite characters and she has literally murdered innocent people in their beds, she's caused way more problems then Daryl ever did. What I don't understand is why people hate Daryl so much, he isn't any worse then the rest of them.

[@NFrk97]

I would agree but seeing both Carrol and Morgan, they are both prime examples why it couldn't work. So Daryl was right in that regard.

The best time to use "We are the walking dead," was when Rick told the group after he learned from the CDC guy that they were all already infected.

[@z_6077]

Season 7 and 8 with Negan as the main antagonist was really good. The show has lost its footing from there unfortunately

[@Willingtomb]

Season 6 is the best, zombies all around Alexandria, the begging of Negan and the other community, all the best characters of the serie together, the worst decision comes in season 7 with Glenn's death, then Carl, a lot of episodes about "Negan War" and when everything goes chill Rick's last episode

[@elem_mele]

Some folks nowadays are saying that this show doesn't have anything to do with its namesake anymore because there's "not enough zombies." But do any of them remember this moment, I wonder? For me, the title has little to do with walkers, but the people still living in their fucked up world, and I think this scene illustrates it beautifully. When I watched this happen, the show changed quite dramatically for me personally.

Daryl didn't exactly "ruin" the speech by contradicting it. You can see he thought about it just long enough to realize he didn't agree with it, and that's a good thing. He's always been hopeful and Rick was losing that hope. Daryl opposing Rick here is him being a good bro.
