@@artoniostovall4330 1 thing I've always loved about this scene was how much of an azzhole Jenner was lol When he mentions "H.I.T.'s", Rick wants to know what that is, and instead of him just saying "It sets the air on fire", he lets the A.I. go into this long, drawn out, highly descriptive monologue about what's about to happen to them...and then that bastard Jenner just says "It sets the air on fire" ANYWAY. lmao
@@KoolKeithProductions I think the goal was to stall them, to be fair. That's why he speaks so slowly, too. He doesn't want them to leave, he wants them all to die together.
I think this was a great end to the first season. The CDC was the last glimpse of the old world and it gets destroyed marking the end of civilization as we know it. It's basically telling the audience the world will never go back to the way it was.
IKR! It’s soooo good. The end of season 1 ruled out the possibility for a cure and an end to the civilization like you said. It’s absolutely stunning. This let us know the zombie story isn’t about a cure, it’s about survival
1:13 I love Jenner's rant here, it's chilling cause he's basically saying that the CDC could protect humanity from almost any disease, and if they couldn't keep them safe from the walker virus, it's arrival likely marks the end of days for humans. Jenner made it his dying mission to find a way to stop the virus, and to see this man now so passionately convinced that there's no stopping it is frightening. This finale totally set the tone for the series: no hope, no chance at civilization, just survival until the day comes you're no longer grateful to be alive.
He's also destroying the facility because if any of the diseases he was speaking about got out, there would be a 0% chance of human survival as opposed to the small chance they'd have otherwise.
@@vladdracula8103 Yeah, that definitely, with no one to run the place they would most definitely seep out, I was thinking more macroscopically with the big-picture storytelling, that's just how I interpreted it.
Yeah it's pretty chilling to hear the tone and stuff, it kinda tries to represent a part of reallity, how the CDC have to literally burn their heads to come up with a cure to save people, probably deal with the worst diseases ever, all sorts of crazy stuff, and it's scary to think that what happens if one day they just can't come up with a cure like in this scene, scary to think how our lives depend of the CDC, and if one day fails....
Season 2 was my favorite. Season 1 was peak. It stayed Great/Good/Decent all the way till Glenn’s death, Glenn’s death kinda killed everything. Also the show went on too long, was only suppose to be like 5 seasons or smthn.
After the first season, the show ceased to have a story. In the first season, it was all about the outbreak, it's aftermath, people joining forces, and making their way to the CDC. There was actually a goal with momentum behind it. Subsequent seasons just got really dull. It's literally the same shit over and over again. It's just them traveling place to place, looking for shelter and trying to survive. And that's it. There's no plot besides that. And the fact that they just keep killing off characters simply for shock value got really annoying.
“This is what takes us down. This is our extinction event.” That line always gives me chills. The idea that there could one day be an event which ends the human race… no chance of recovery!
The way he says, “stuff you don’t want getting out, EVER”, implies that even during the zombie apocalypse, where the dead are rising to eat the living, this stuff is STILL a greater threat. I mean, think about it-if those biological weapons got out into the open air, there would be no survivors; whoever didn’t die to the zombies would die to one of a multitude of other horrible diseases. Absolutely chilling.
@@werewolfroadthe zombie virus was spreading, but there were other deadly viruses inside the CDC that would’ve killed all of the survivors, had they not been destroyed.
That's not wrong, though. Walkers were a manageable threat when they were in the prison, it was the flu outbreak the brought them to their knees and left them vulnerable enough for the Governor's attack to succeed.
I feel like this is the biggest ‘What if?’ in Walking Dead history. Imagine how different the narrative would’ve been. Would we have followed another group of survivors? Would the show have completely differentiated from the comics? How would the show look today if these characters all died here? We’ll never know, but my god this scene was something else. Loved the early days of TWD.
This CDC section is completely made up for the show. If they had ended it here, they would’ve only recounted the first few issues of The Walking Dead comics and left the vast majority of it untapped.
Would the show completely differentiate from the comics and follow a different group if the entire cast died? Gee, maybe just a little? What an odd set of questions

Ye as good as seasons 3-5 were, it was never the same when Frank Darabont left. He just had a knack for bringing stories to life. He just had so many cool ideas. I mean even his walkers had way more depth with them being able to retain certain memories and use objects. It made them seem more unpredictable and it really added to the horror element. Also, the way Darabont wrote his characters and the dialogue felt way more natural. I just love the conversations of morales and stuff he brought into it like real stuff that people would think if this was to be a real situation. It felt really authentic. Later, it really become a gore fest with a whole lot of fighting and action which is cool but you need that balance.
If i had survived this long, I would of took Jenner up on his offer. Dying a fast death, an end to this stupid apocalypse of zombies. Not worry about getting eaten anymore and painfully dying. Just an end to everything like he said. Quick, Painless, mind at peace.
it's incredible the difference between these season written by Darabont and the other ones, the walking dead was never about the dead but about the struggles and human interactions in a shattered world and Darabont make this masterfully, after season 4 I stopped watching it, it was a fun ride.
I always felt until season 5 there was an arc that was closed. right until that dude started to smack heads with a bat, make fun about it, and fans said they sympathise with him. TWD went SAW after that, nothing more than anxiety, depression and gore left.
The first season is still my favourite it has the effect of surprise, the caracters are scared, they panic for whatever reason, very realistic atmosphere.
The very moment Jenner found out there was no cure and kept it from the group till this episode is chilling. He knew but didn’t want the group to know and was trying to give them a peaceful end to their lives so they wouldn’t have to live in a world where danger lurks around every corner and witness the true evil side to humanity. He did make it his dying wish to save humanity from the virus but it was too late. It’s a sad situation
Yeah I've always thought surely exploding the facility and potentially throwing millions of particles into the air is the absolute dumbest way to handle a potential virus outbreak inside
So… the producers of walking dead, hated the CDC episodes, I still don’t understand why. These are some of the best episodes period. This particular clip is one of the best in the entire series. Seasons 1, 2 and 3 are awesome and then the series took a dive, can I make an exception to some of the governors episodes and some of the Negan episodes, which absolutely cannot be disputed are great as well! The junkyard is just that! The best soundtracks and best music were in seasons 1, 2 &3.
@@BravoSixGoingDark I truly don't want to, thanks though In all seriousness I haven't watched it and I probably won't, although I might check it out eventually. I've heard some very bad things. It sucks because in theory Resident Evil should be easy to adapt.
@@charlierunkle19 Its draggy, some cringe lines, currently watch Episode 6 at the moment. Despite it's flaws, I like Lance Reddick's acting. Odd choice to cast him as Albert Wesker though.
0:38 I just had a wild though. What if in The Ones Who Live or Daryl Dixon they reveal the CRM got their hands onthese recordings and then show them to Rick like "we've been watching you from the start", that would be AWESOME
@@2200shotta That one moment where Daryl appears on the camera shoving Jenner in his chair once he seals the doors could easily be reshot to include Rick in the background.
Even if I had survived up until this point, which would prove I have a chance of continuing to do so, I'd still take Jenner up on his offer. Not all groups are as lucky as Rick and his were. What if your ammo runs out and you're forced to get up close and personal? You're looking at an increased risk of being bitten just there. The food runs out and most areas are picked clean. I'd eat a bullet before I starved. To say nothing of hostile survivors and the horrors they could inflict on you. No, I'd sooner die with the last hope of the old world. Painless and vapourised before I could even process it. If that makes me weak then so be it. But I'd sooner avoid being torn apart or coming back as a monster.
Jenner was right, everyone who didn’t stay with Jenner accept for Rick, Carol, and Daryl met a terrible horrific fate and died painfully in the apocalypse. For all of them it might have just been better to opt out like Jenner and wait for the blast to kill them all.
It could very well be) After all, Daryl's face in this moment gets on the record. Or they can show Jenner's tape and Daryl will say, "Damn, I knew him." 🔥
I’ve seen this scene many times. Wasn’t until now I realized I had seen Dr Jenner’s actor somewhere before. He played in the Truman Show as the fake best friend.

@@ethulwulf5351 i believe it would be set on the viral and biological samples in the building but as for exploding the building with a thermoberic reaction it seems a little extreme
@@historicalshadow1454 exactly so unless they outfitted the building after the infection it wouldn't do that Now not to say they wouldn't have contingency protocols in place to prevent containment failures of the viruses
@@historicalshadow1454 let's be honest we don't know what they would do to places like cdc. I don't think they would want or even let us know their real contingency plan in case of something as server as the walker disease is. Heck I don't believe they'll ever tell the public what kind of samples of who knows what that the cdc is in possession of for fear that the public would disintegrate because of the sheer horror of some of the things that they have that exist.
This was one of those pivotal episodes that so many people forgot about, and I don't know why. This is the episode where the audience discovers EVERYBODY ON EARTH is infected with the virus. Full stop. So people whining about the insanity of camouflaging oneself with infected blood can stop it. These characters are infected. ALL OF THEM. Hence the title 'Walking Dead.' It's simply a matter of the virus overwhelming a bodies defenses. Get sick, there's a chance. Get stabbed, there's a chance. Get bit,..there's a really good chance. Death = you're a walker.
The crazy thing is, you remember this scene like it always happened but I swear this scene never happened in season 1. The way they found out was when Rick suddenly for no reason whatsoever, mentions at the prison that everyone is infected, right after killing Shawn in season 2. This is actually my first time watching this and at first, I thought it was a late season flashback episode from after me dropping the series. It sort of feels like I just jumped into a different dimension because now I'm just here wondering how the entire group got out and even more importantly, how is it that they forgot that this man said that everyone is already infected. They must have, considering their shocked expressions in finding out at the End of season 2.
@@ghostbl33d65They didn't forget. He only whispered it to Rick on their way out of the cdc and Rick never told anyone else until he had to at the end of season 2 because people were questioning how Shane turned.
I keep thinking alot why he is giving up ? After seen other seasons , i believed in him like he studied the human nature when they fight for sirvivabality and what ugly thing they will mad to survives. Like he knows the world changed and the human will change to become much worse than walkers. Everyone in this lab will stay if they know what will happen.
Well I’m looking back on twd I stopped watching awhile ago and didn’t go back but just revisiting and thought about this and tried to remember why did he just give up and blow up a place that was a good sanctuary and stuff if anything if he wanted to die he could’ve done euthanasia to himself if he had materials if not then this if there is nothing else painless and leave the place for them but why did he want to just give up anyway even though it wasn’t gonna get better from there he could’ve figured out something but show would be over and they would just be safe in the bunker I guess if he didn’t do it lol it’s ending next season but I didn’t like how things were starting to go so I left the season sasha died and tara just came back that’s all I rkekber from it lol negan was still the bad guy
When I was in the army we were briefed on thermobaric bombs in NBC training (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) and after I left the room I felt sick to my stomach in a way I've neve4 felt since. I remember all I could think was "are there no limits to how disgusting people can be? What kind of monster even devises something so barbaric?"
No cap season 1 and 2 were the absolute peak of this show. And some parts of season 4 and 5. But ALL of seasons 1 and 2 were literally peak television. I'll never experience weekends with my dad again (we're both zombie fanatics) like when the first 2 seasons ran. To this day we're sad at how this show just burned out.
To be perfectly honest, I would have stayed since it’s technically a peaceful death with no pain. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where you’re constantly watching your back…
Yet, out of all the people in that room, at the time I write this, only Rick, Daryl and Carol remain. At best, he just bought them some time, and at that, not even good time. When Jenner tells Rick "The day will come when you won't be [grateful]" really was prophetic. They really might have all been better off if they had just accepted it there and then. I've often maintained that "The Walking Dead" of the title aren't the walkers but the survivors, in the same way a person walking to the execution chamber at death row is said to be a "dead man walking": it's just a matter of time.
"I've often maintained that "The Walking Dead" of the title aren't the walkers but the survivors, in the same way a person walking to the execution chamber at death row is said to be a "dead man walking": it's just a matter of time." This was literally confirmed years ago in the comics 😂😂
I don't know if the director was the problem or some things in the scenario. In one scene Rick cuts Negan 's throat but somehow Negan survives. This is only an example. Also Carl does NOT DIE in the comic. The producers fired the kid because he turned 18 and they had to pay him as an adult and they didn't want that.
"H.I.T.'s: High Impulse Thermobaric fuel air explosives consist of a two stage aerosol ignition that produces a blast wave of significantly greater power and duration than any other known explosive, except nuclear. The vacuum pressure effect ignites the oxygen between 5,000 and 6,000 degrees and is useful where the greatest loss of life and damage to structures is desired."
@@fjnordthedwarf4004 well, it kinda was… at the start of this virus, everyone seems to have forgotten that the cdc was debating whether or not to declare it a worldwide emergency. For three whole months. I specifically remember discovering about Covid-19 back in mid December, three months before it broke out into the rest of the world. The lockdowns happened in march of 2020. From the time it was discovered vs. when it was officially announced as a worldwide threat, there was 3 months of indecision where people went abroad on vacation and/or business, where this virus had a chance of reaching more people once they returned
I Agree, The Only Season I Liked from him was Season 6 but that's about it, I though Seasons 4, 7 and 8 were Ok, 5 was Terrible, but Scott Gimple RUINED The Walking Dead

Seasons 1, 2 and 3 are awesome and then the series took a dive, can I make an exception to some of the governors episodes and some of the Negan episodes, which absolutely cannot be disputed are great as well! The junkyard is just that! The best soundtracks and best music were in seasons 1, 2 &3.
This scene coulda also been a perfect final episode to end the show.
Uhh No Super Bad It Would Be Wasted Potential The Whole CDC Was Not In The Comics Effectively It Would Be A Epic Fail
Wtf are you talking about
Season 1 is the best season, change my mind
Fear the walking dead Season 1 was good too.
@@BravoSixGoingDark anything with walkers that can move somewhat quick is great with me. They should have never changed their speed
@@charlierunkle19 You should see how the zombies walk and run in Netflix's Resident Evil Series ...😅
@@BravoSixGoingDark I truly don't want to, thanks though
In all seriousness I haven't watched it and I probably won't, although I might check it out eventually. I've heard some very bad things. It sucks because in theory Resident Evil should be easy to adapt.
@@charlierunkle19 Its draggy, some cringe lines, currently watch Episode 6 at the moment. Despite it's flaws, I like Lance Reddick's acting. Odd choice to cast him as Albert Wesker though.
Goosebumps every… single… time.
The music in this scene is amazing.
God the walking dead used to be so good
Watching this for the first time years ago, i knew that was the best solution. Later seasons proved it.
0:38 I just had a wild though.
What if in The Ones Who Live or Daryl Dixon they reveal the CRM got their hands onthese recordings and then show them to Rick like "we've been watching you from the start", that would be AWESOME
Rick wasn’t in the recordings though only Jenner. Okofor bombed Atlanta so i doubt they would go back to the cdc.
@@2200shotta That one moment where Daryl appears on the camera shoving Jenner in his chair once he seals the doors could easily be reshot to include Rick in the background.
Legit my favourite scene
Noah Emmerich's acting here is phenomenal.
Man that first season was something special
Vi defining H.I.t's makes this scene even more memorable
yeah directing went crazy
Darabont was a genious man, not only better that the comics (original content), peak TV right here
If you guys dont see rick in 5 hours..look for the mushroom cloud!
Definitely one of the all time best season endings ever for any tv show series with real cast actors yet made.
Even if I had survived up until this point, which would prove I have a chance of continuing to do so, I'd still take Jenner up on his offer.
Not all groups are as lucky as Rick and his were. What if your ammo runs out and you're forced to get up close and personal? You're looking at an increased risk of being bitten just there. The food runs out and most areas are picked clean. I'd eat a bullet before I starved. To say nothing of hostile survivors and the horrors they could inflict on you.
No, I'd sooner die with the last hope of the old world. Painless and vapourised before I could even process it. If that makes me weak then so be it. But I'd sooner avoid being torn apart or coming back as a monster.
imagine the people at Alexandria when it all started. they didn’t even think twice that civilization ended before they knew it.
it's are human strength to adapt and survive. death is not an option.
Jenner was right, everyone who didn’t stay with Jenner accept for Rick, Carol, and Daryl met a terrible horrific fate and died painfully in the apocalypse. For all of them it might have just been better to opt out like Jenner and wait for the blast to kill them all.
The music plus the severity of Genirs tone of voice when he reminds of where they are really makes this a dramatic and stressful scene.
Watched this again after a long time and Dale's infamous look at the end got me
This scene gives me chills, amazing acting.
This scene is so brilliantly done!
Imagine in the Daryl show, the Dr Jenner footage somehow made it to the CDC in France, and people there recognise Daryl from this clip
It could very well be) After all, Daryl's face in this moment gets on the record. Or they can show Jenner's tape and Daryl will say, "Damn, I knew him." 🔥
i was thinking that too
This is when this show was THE show.
For me one of the best episodes. It is maybe the only episode where the main threat was central.
Season 1 was just pure kino
Just the score they used for that scene made it so much more intense
I’ve seen this scene many times. Wasn’t until now I realized I had seen Dr Jenner’s actor somewhere before. He played in the Truman Show as the fake best friend.
I swear man, this scene is probably one of the best scenes that was ever put on film. The music ties it all together.
This was a great story line that was not used to the fullest.
I think of this scene after learning about implosions and the Titan crew. Legit the same thing. When a sub implodes the air does the same thing till the water puts it out
i watched the walking dead from the beginning when it was on amc, this scene i still think is the best scene in the whole show.
In case a catastrophic does occur, Would every CDC building around the world, execute the same protocol like in this scene as a protective measure?
@Beagle PALMEIRENSE My father use to work for CDC in China, there are contingencies but they don’t involve lighting the air on fire 🔥
@@ethulwulf5351 i believe it would be set on the viral and biological samples in the building but as for exploding the building with a thermoberic reaction it seems a little extreme
A little late to this response, but the CDC has said that blowing their buildings to kingdom come is not one of their contingency protocols.
@@historicalshadow1454 exactly so unless they outfitted the building after the infection it wouldn't do that
Now not to say they wouldn't have contingency protocols in place to prevent containment failures of the viruses
@@historicalshadow1454 let's be honest we don't know what they would do to places like cdc. I don't think they would want or even let us know their real contingency plan in case of something as server as the walker disease is. Heck I don't believe they'll ever tell the public what kind of samples of who knows what that the cdc is in possession of for fear that the public would disintegrate because of the sheer horror of some of the things that they have that exist.
The way he seems to sigh before saying "V.I define", and then the way VI calmly explains it over the music is just chilling
God this show was so good back then
Back when The Walking Dead was good
This was one of those pivotal episodes that so many people forgot about, and I don't know why. This is the episode where the audience discovers EVERYBODY ON EARTH is infected with the virus. Full stop. So people whining about the insanity of camouflaging oneself with infected blood can stop it. These characters are infected. ALL OF THEM. Hence the title 'Walking Dead.' It's simply a matter of the virus overwhelming a bodies defenses. Get sick, there's a chance. Get stabbed, there's a chance. Get bit,..there's a really good chance. Death = you're a walker.
The crazy thing is, you remember this scene like it always happened but I swear this scene never happened in season 1.
The way they found out was when Rick suddenly for no reason whatsoever, mentions at the prison that everyone is infected, right after killing Shawn in season 2.
This is actually my first time watching this and at first, I thought it was a late season flashback episode from after me dropping the series. It sort of feels like I just jumped into a different dimension because now I'm just here wondering how the entire group got out and even more importantly, how is it that they forgot that this man said that everyone is already infected. They must have, considering their shocked expressions in finding out at the End of season 2.
@@ghostbl33d65They didn't forget. He only whispered it to Rick on their way out of the cdc and Rick never told anyone else until he had to at the end of season 2 because people were questioning how Shane turned.
Man i miss this show it was so good. I remember first watching kt when i was 13 around middle school.
Best scene put the whole show so intense
I keep thinking alot why he is giving up ? After seen other seasons , i believed in him like he studied the human nature when they fight for sirvivabality and what ugly thing they will mad to survives. Like he knows the world changed and the human will change to become much worse than walkers. Everyone in this lab will stay if they know what will happen.
Well I’m looking back on twd I stopped watching awhile ago and didn’t go back but just revisiting and thought about this and tried to remember why did he just give up and blow up a place that was a good sanctuary and stuff if anything if he wanted to die he could’ve done euthanasia to himself if he had materials if not then this if there is nothing else painless and leave the place for them but why did he want to just give up anyway even though it wasn’t gonna get better from there he could’ve figured out something but show would be over and they would just be safe in the bunker I guess if he didn’t do it lol it’s ending next season but I didn’t like how things were starting to go so I left the season sasha died and tara just came back that’s all I rkekber from it lol negan was still the bad guy
He gave up because no wife, no resources, no ppl, that means no cure
So he give up all hope
When I was in the army we were briefed on thermobaric bombs in NBC training (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) and after I left the room I felt sick to my stomach in a way I've neve4 felt since. I remember all I could think was "are there no limits to how disgusting people can be? What kind of monster even devises something so barbaric?"
Immediately starts with Shane asking "What's that??"😂
Haeh what is that *rubs head
This in my opinion is the shows greatest episode. It’s got more emotion and drama. The music really fits in with this scene.
Frank Darabont
crazy how daryl can look double his age just from growing his hair out
No cap season 1 and 2 were the absolute peak of this show. And some parts of season 4 and 5. But ALL of seasons 1 and 2 were literally peak television. I'll never experience weekends with my dad again (we're both zombie fanatics) like when the first 2 seasons ran. To this day we're sad at how this show just burned out.
To be perfectly honest, I would have stayed since it’s technically a peaceful death with no pain. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where you’re constantly watching your back…
Bro the music sting after he drops that line gives me chills EVERY TIME
Out of all the seasons, this was still the best episode
this is by far my favorite scene in all 11 seasons
He just didn't want to die alone
Now at 12/3/2023 this scene takes on a whole new meaning.
And only two people from that entire group remain alive.
Carol daryl rick?
@@mr.wilkingson8419canonically, Carl and Sophia are the only ones still alive (comics), but the TV show has Carol and Daryl
@@snapperhd And Rick....
One of the rare early moments when it's actually somebody other than Shane yelling. 😅🤣
this honestly scared the piss outta me as a kid
Best one scene on TV in years. Chilling.
Yet, out of all the people in that room, at the time I write this, only Rick, Daryl and Carol remain. At best, he just bought them some time, and at that, not even good time. When Jenner tells Rick "The day will come when you won't be [grateful]" really was prophetic. They really might have all been better off if they had just accepted it there and then. I've often maintained that "The Walking Dead" of the title aren't the walkers but the survivors, in the same way a person walking to the execution chamber at death row is said to be a "dead man walking": it's just a matter of time.
I truly think those words were going through ricks head when he watched Glenn get bashed in, and almost cutting carls arm off
"I've often maintained that "The Walking Dead" of the title aren't the walkers but the survivors, in the same way a person walking to the execution chamber at death row is said to be a "dead man walking": it's just a matter of time." This was literally confirmed years ago in the comics 😂😂
@@JazLynxi Never read the comic, and have only seen a few full episodes. I mostly just watch youtube videos.
if I was one of them, I would stay...
This is the best scene in the entire show. I really wish there would be more scientist scenes
One of my favorite episodes ever of TWD
Worst thing this show ever did was get rid of Frank Darabont.
I don't know if the director was the problem or some things in the scenario. In one scene Rick cuts Negan 's throat but somehow Negan survives. This is only an example. Also Carl does NOT DIE in the comic. The producers fired the kid because he turned 18 and they had to pay him as an adult and they didn't want that.
"H.I.T.'s: High Impulse Thermobaric fuel air explosives consist of a two stage aerosol ignition that produces a blast wave of significantly greater power and duration than any other known explosive, except nuclear. The vacuum pressure effect ignites the oxygen between 5,000 and 6,000 degrees and is useful where the greatest loss of life and damage to structures is desired."
"You know what this place is? We protected the public from very nasty stuff!"
Well
That aged poorly
Or very, _very_ well, depending on your perspective. It's not exactly the CDC's fault half the world didn't listen to them until it was too late.
@@fjnordthedwarf4004 you mean when they lie? Don't tell me you still believe all the covid bs?
Not really. If the world paid more attention the Corona virus would or never gotten out
@@fjnordthedwarf4004 well, it kinda was… at the start of this virus, everyone seems to have forgotten that the cdc was debating whether or not to declare it a worldwide emergency. For three whole months. I specifically remember discovering about Covid-19 back in mid December, three months before it broke out into the rest of the world. The lockdowns happened in march of 2020. From the time it was discovered vs. when it was officially announced as a worldwide threat, there was 3 months of indecision where people went abroad on vacation and/or business, where this virus had a chance of reaching more people once they returned

One of if not the best episodes
1:07 My fav part
I like how T-Dog is just soaking wet
So Basically Everyone in this room is dead now except for Rick, Daryl and Carol lolz
Scott Gimple ruined Walking Dead.
Its worse what he did to fear. 7/8 were at the bottom of my favorite seasons, but still some of my favorite seasons of TV yet.
I Agree, The Only Season I Liked from him was Season 6 but that's about it, I though Seasons 4, 7 and 8 were Ok, 5 was Terrible, but Scott Gimple RUINED The Walking Dead
Imagine if this was the series finally of the walking dead them getting out of the CDC and having no choice but to keep on fighting the dead and trying there best to survive because there no cure and no hope left for the world to go back to how it was
