Hey guys. Since the walking dead is in a tough situation with public opinion, they need to start off with a bang. I hope the premiere starts with the time jump text. For example two years later...
Two characters wandering out in an unfamiliar area with tall grass (Possibly Tara and Rosita). Start with creepy whispering that is very subtle. Play this out like the introduction to the whisperers. Tara asks Rosita if she heard the voices.
Time passes.
More dialogue and out of nowhere a walker jumps out and Rosita takes it out. Then they both hear whispering this time...as well as walker noises.
Now you can do a ton of different directorial tricks that would be scary in a Michael Myers way. One idea: have walkers creep up on them this time Rosita has a stab wound from behind. This walker looks different. Black hollow eyes whispering something creepy. “Lost?”
Have them scatter, unable to successfully attack a few whisperers. Rosita is now in serious danger with a knife wound in the back through the stomach area. Tara helps her run to a nearby horse. Fans of the comics will expect the horse to be alive and well for the escape scene. Only, this time the horse is somehow incapacitated. Suggesting the whisperers took out their getaway plan. Running towards the camera in fear, we get a Michael Myers chasing Lorie Strode vibe and the opening credits roll.
This would be a simple way to start fresh yet still following one of the best openings to the new beginning arc. Just introduce the whisperers right away and speed this up. More and more it seems the show is only going to last another season or so. Let’s do the whisperers right and somehow do Rick justice in the end.
