The Walking Dead: Season 4 Sneak Peak

The following is a preview to season four of The Walking Dead.  Not familiar with the show?  We’ve got you covered.  Read this article from last year and you will be 100% caught up.

 

 

 

Season four of AMC smash-hit The Walking Dead starts up this October, which means that not long from now we’ll have brand new episodes chalk-full of zombie-induced suspense, survival-fueled intensity, and Hyundai-based product placement.  Don’t think you can wait even that long? Well fear not, because as luck would have it, I happened to come across the scripts for every episode of the new season. (“Hey, look! There are the scripts to every episode of the new season of The Walking Dead,” were my exact words.)

 

Not wanting to completely ruin the new season for you “walkers” out there, let me just say that the new one features all of the slow, humorless plotlines of the first three seasons, with even more moments featuring Rick muttering under his breath at people threateningly.

Yes, there is plenty of “fun” to look forward to, and I would feel selfish keeping it all to myself. So with spoiler alerts, etc. in mind, I now present to you the actual, never-before-seen script to the first episode of season four of The Walking Dead: 

The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 1: "Zombies and Stuff" (Working Title)

Scene 1

The camera pans over a deserted country highway on a sunny summer day.  The dilapidated remains of cars and trucks litter both shoulders of the road.  The sound of an engine gradually becomes audible as a pristine, 2014 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport enters the frame.  It parks beside a scummy-looking Chevy SUV that even in its prime couldn’t dream of getting the Santa Fe’s impressive 25 mpg city/32 mpg highway.  A middle-aged white man exits the Hyundai, looks through the Chevy for supplies, finds nothing, and then returns to the Hyundai, only to find himself suddenly surrounded on all sides by zombies. 

Man:         Damn, I guess I shouldn’t have been playing my new Maroon 5 album so loudly! It attracted all these freakin’ walkers! Hard to blame me though, what with the Sante Fe’s 10-speaker 360-watt Infinity^® audio system and all! 

 

Suddenly, shots ring out, and within seconds all of the zombies collapse to the ground next to the Hyundai.  There is a short silence, after which Rick and his crew emerge from the woods, rifles in hand. Rick has a perfect five o’clock shadow. 

 

Man:        Hey, thanks for saving me, you guys are pretty good shots, huh?

Carl:        When it’s convenient to the plot, sure.

Rick:       (angrily to the man, under his breath) Get the hell out of here.

Man:        Huh?

Rick:        (slightly louder this time, while raising his gun) I said you aren’t one of us.  Leave.

Man:        Sorry, I can’t understand a word you’re saying. Would you speak up?

 

Rick shoots the man in the head. He drops to the ground, dead.

 

Hershel:  (surprised) Why did you do that?

Rick:        He wasn’t a completely miserable, boring and unlikeable character like everyone else on this show…he couldn’t be trusted.

Michonne: Well, you don’t trust me either, as was made apparent about 20 million times in season three, so why don’t you just shoot me too?

Opening credits/music montage, commercial break

 

Scene 2

 

Rick stares Michonne down angrily with a glassy look in his eyes, sweat pouring off his face, mouth slightly agape. He examines her for a few seconds, then speaks under his breath in a voice that sounds like Nick Nolte with strep throat.

 

Rick:           (trailing off) You’re right I still don’t trust you…I think that you…(inaudible).

Michonne:   (Glares back at Rick)

Rick:         You don’t even…(slurred words)…should just…(something). (Stares irately at Michonne.)

Michonne:  (Continues glaring at Rick)

Commercial break

Scene 3

Glenn and Maggie walk out of an abandoned store with supplies, and begin loading them into their Hyundai Elantra for their trip back to the prison.

Glenn:       Hey, can I ask you something?

Maggie:     Anything.

Glenn:       We must smell really bad, right?

Maggie:     What?

Glenn:       Well, I mean, we never shower, we wear basically the same clothes day after day, and it’s summer in Georgia. We should have some serious funk going on here.  But yet, I never hear any dialogue about it, and nobody ever even gives me a look like, “whoa, has that guy even heard of deodorant?”  And I haven’t brought this up before, but I’ve never seen a single roll of toilet paper in the entire history of the show.

Glenn, sweating.

Maggie:    You’ve given this a lot of thought.

Glenn:       Also, why don’t we ever wear clothes without these serious sweat stains? You’re telling me we can scrounge food up like it’s nothing and Rick has time to sculpt that amazing facial hair, but we can’t take the time to find an abandoned JC Penney outlet so we can get some clean clothes every once in awhile? 

Maggie:    …

Glenn:       And then there are these walkers.  They can bite through pretty much anything, right?  But then we can crush their head like it’s nothing if we have to.  Shouldn’t their skull and their teeth be made up of essentially the same material?  It’s not like when they drink milk all the calcium goes to their teeth and none to their bones, right? So how is it we can jab them in the head with a Popsicle stick and kill them, but at the same time they can just bite your arm clean off? 

Maggie:    Just get in the damn Elantra.

 

They speed away, displaying the Elantra’s impressive, smooth acceleration.

Scene 4

 

Rick:          (breathing heavily, sweating)    (Stares)

Michonne:  (Glares)

Rick:          (Stares, breathes)

 

Commercial break

 

Scene 5

 

Maggie and Glenn arrive back at the prison gates.

 

Merle:       (with an overdone southern drawl) Not so fast thur, y’all.

Maggie:    Merle!? But you’re dead!

Merle:       (confidently) Ain’t nuthin’ can kill me.

Glenn:       No seriously, Merle.  You’re dead.  They killed you off even though you were the only remotely interesting character on the show.  You died, like, a couple episodes ago. 

Merle:       (sheepishly) I hate to say it, but if I’m being completely honest, I didn’t watch the last couple of episodes of the last season.

Glenn:       We don’t blame you. 

Andrea:     (appearing out of a shrub) Am I dead too?

Glenn:       Thankfully, yes.  You were horrible.

Andrea:     Not as bad as Lori, though.  Right?

Glenn:       Oh, geez, no. No. Not THAT bad. 

 

Commercial break

A commercial for this could air during the break, who knows?

 

 

Scene 6

 

Beth and Herschel are walking through the woods, unarmed. 

 

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Come up with good reason for the guy missing a leg and the 17-year-old girl to walk through the woods by themselves unarmed before shooting this episode.)

 

Hershel:    You will notice that I am not keeping up with you very well since I am on crutches after losing my leg in that freak zombie attack awhile back.

Beth:        That was an oddly specific non-sequitur, but, yeah, you should probably feel good about just being alive in the first place.

Hershel:    Well I’m sort of peeved by it actually, on account of in the entire history of this show there has only been one zombie I have ever seen, like, play dead, and it just so happened to be the one that bit my leg when I walked past it unsuspectingly.

Beth:         Yeah that really didn’t make sense, but get over it; it was like a full season ago. Besides, we chopped your leg off without the use of any antibiotics or surgical tools and you survived without any infection or anything. 

Hershel:   Good point.   Uh oh, here come some zombies. 

 

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Beth and Hershel need to get pinned under a heavy object here, somehow.)

 

Beth and Hershel end up pinned under a large branch, or something, with dozens of zombies moving in on them. There is no way they will make it out alive.

 

Commercial Break

 

Scene 7

 

They make it out alive.  At the last second, Hershel frees himself from the branch. He then uses his crutch to easily and effortlessly collapse the skulls of the approaching zombies like plastic Easter eggs getting run over by a Hyundai Sonata. 

 

Hershel:       That was a close one.

 

Scene 8

 

Michonne is glaring at Rick while Rick stares intensely back at Michonne.  Suddenly the Governor appears.

 

The Governor:  Well lookee who we have here.  Just who I wanted to see.

 

Rick:         (turning from Michonne to the Governor) (breathing heavily, sweating) (under his breath) One false move, Governor… and I swear I’ll… (stares at the Governor)

The Governor:   (Leers at Rick)

Michonne:         (Glares at the Governor)

The Governor:   (Leers at Michonne)

Rick:         (Stares at Michonne, then the Governor, then back at Michonne again, breathing hard, sweating)

 

Commercial break

(Applause from in-studio audience who apparently have no lives)

Chris Hardwick: (way, way too excitedly) Next, on Talking Dead, we discuss what Rick was thinking about when he was staring at Michonne, why Michonne gave The Governor that dirty look, and we also recap that miraculous escape by Hershel and Beth earlier in the episode. I thought they were done for! Haha! 

Later, we’ll sit down for an exclusive interview: we’ve got the janitor who empties the trash cans in Andrew Lincoln’s trailer, in studio!  All part of brand new episode of Talking Dead, easily one of the most pathetic shows ever made.

I mean seriously, it’s a television show devoted to breaking down another television show. It’s sad really. I have talent; what am I doing hosting this? I really need to take a step back and reexamine my life. But first, I gotta watch the thrilling conclusion to this week’s The Walking Dead.

 

End commercial break

Scene 9

 

The Governor is leering at both Rick and Michonne.  Suddenly he pulls out a revolver and points it directly at Rick.  Michonne slowly reaches for her sword, without breaking eye contact, obviously, but doesn’t make a move.  Rick doubles down on his staring, and begins to breath even harder, apparently believing that it’s possible to literally stare bullets through someone. 

 

The Governor: (squeezing the trigger) I told you not to mess with me, Rick…

As the Governor’s bullet converges on Rick’s orbital socket, we suddenly hear the roar of an engine, and a self-propelled 2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe darts in between the two, deflecting the bullet deep into the woods, where it kills an innocent extra.  Rick and Michonne jump in the car and speed off, leaving The Governor fuming on the road behind. 

 

Rick:         (breathing heavily, sweating, staring down the dashboard of the Hyundai)  (under his breath) …Thanks… but I don’t trust you.  I don’t care that you have a 348-horse power 3.8 liter turbo V6 engine.  Or that you have a sport-tuned suspension and available Bremo^® brakes.  And I don’t even care that you start at an incredibly affordable $24,250 MSRP with options shown; I still don’t trust you. When we get back to the prison you can stay the night, but you have to leave first thing in the morning…

Hyundai Genesis Coupe:  Vrroom.

13 Teams that Will Help Validate Your Decision to Watch 48 or So Hours of College Basketball in a Four-Day Period This March

The NCAA Tournament is about a month away, which means that about 30 days from now you will be glued to the couch, enjoying your PTO from work while flicking through CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV in search of the most interesting game.  But how will you know which game to land on?



Ali Farokhmanesh's shot that beat Kansas in
 the 2010 NCAA tournament was fun. More fun
things may happen in 2013 also. 

Of course, you are going to be watching the buzzer-beaters, down-to-the-wire finishes, and some other third thing that involves hyphens first—but after that, which games will provide the most entertainment?  We here at Unentertainment like to think of ourselves as a community service, and I have compiled a list of teams that should be most interesting to watch to help answer that question. 

1. Ole Miss

Let’s get an obvious one out of the way.  Marshall Henderson is the most interesting player in college basketball.  Henderson’s exploits have been well-covered by the media at this point, so I’ll just recap:  He’s been to 4 universities in 4 years, basically a result of having a near psychopathic personality—he has used cocaine and marijuana, been investigated by the FBI for using counterfeit money to attempt to purchase drugs, been suspended multiple games for punching an opposing player during a game and has gotten into verbal altercations with his own coaches.    He’s also the only white player for the Rebels to get substantial minutes and he rocks a faux-hawk.  Finally, he is responsible for one of the best .gifs ever, when he taunted the opposing student section after his free throws clinched a victory over Auburn this January:

 

But even if you put his antics aside, you are left with the closest thing to this year’s Jimmer Fredette/Stephen Curry.  He leads the SEC in scoring and can (and will) shoot it from anywhere. Ole Miss apparently has some other athletes on the team as well—some physical shot blockers—but you’ll be watching for number 23 first. 

 

2. Creighton

Not a creative pick, but it cannot be overstated how awesome it is to watch potential national player of the year Doug McDermott.  He is undersized for a post and too slow to play extensively outside, yet he excels at both, scoring at will from inside and shooting about 50% from 3-point range.  His clumsy look is exemplified by the oversized t-shirt he wears under his uniform, which makes his performances seem all the more unlikely. 

 

3. VCU

 

Weird, the Rams are good again.  Oh, and they also still run that full-court press, dubbed “havoc.”  No other team presses like them.  And that puts Virgina Commonwealth on this list.

 

4. South Dakota State

The St. Cloud, MN, native Wolters
is averaging 22 pts/6 reb/6 ast.

Remember when North Dakota State made the NCAAs and took Kansas to the wire courtesy of Ben Woodside?  Let’s hope SD State makes it this year, because Nate Wolters could do the same thing.  He scored 53 against IPFW earlier this week. 

 

5. Wisconsin *Homer Alert*

 

Yeah, I haven’t missed a Wisconsin game since I was, like, eight, and they would make this list regardless of what kind of team they had.  But this year’s version of Badgers basketball should actually be pretty interesting.  Known for slowing the pace of the game down and playing stingy defense, Bo Ryan’s 2013 team is no exception, and is in fact ever stouter when not in possession of the ball than usual. 

Brusewitz

 

A tournament matchup against a run-and-gun team would be a lot of fun, seeing which style of play takes over (typically Bo’s).  Besides that, Wisconsin’s roster features some interesting personalities.  You would be hard-pressed to find a player that puts in more effort than Mike Brusewitz (although teammate Zac Schowalter comes close), and Jared Berggren and Sam Dekker provide an unorthodox, yet freakishly athletic presence. 

6. Wichita State *Homer Alert, Part 2*

 

My second homer pick also excels on the defensive end.  But even if you don’t care for defensive basketball, Carl Hall and Cleanthony Early’s offensive game are worth giving a look.  Hall is possibly the best scorer from 8 feet and in I’ve seen outside of Alando Tucker, and he’s even better on the offensive glass.  Early is a potential NBA-level talent playing for a school that hasn’t seen one since Xavier McDaniel in the early-80s.  I’m hoping their current three-game skid is an aberration, because they need redemption after their early-exit in the 2012 tournament.

 

7. New Mexico State

 

They trail Louisiana Tech in the WAC, and certainly have no shot at an at-large bid at this point, but if the Aggies manage to win the conference tournament, they should create a fun second-round game—even if they are unlikely to win it.  The reason they make this list is freshman center Sim Bhullar, who is listed at 7’5’’ 360 lbs, and looks every bit of it.  He isn’t quite as interesting to watch as NC-Ashville's Kenny George was in the late 2000's, but Bhullar actually has had more of an impact, averaging about 10 points and 5 rebounds while logging 20 minutes a game.  Also, human beings shouldn’t be able to do things like George did, anyway:

 

8. Ohio State

I don’t really like the Buckeyes, personally speaking, but if I can put that feeling aside, I have to admit they’ve got a fun thing going.  Mainly, it is because, while their defense (starring Aaron Craft)  is very good, they have basically one decent offensive player and nobody else I would have any confidence in on that end of the floor.  Fortunately, that player is Deshaun Thomas, who is huge, but has finesse. And the lefty can shoot a little bit also.  One-man shows are always interesting in March, and that is exactly what Ohio State is at the moment. 

 

9. Davidson

The Wildcats lead the Southern conference and should make the NCAA’s via auto-bid.  If they do, they will once again bring a unique, European-style team-ball to the dance, which could pose a problem for a higher seed they will face in the second round. 

(By the way, can we call the second round the first round already?  The First Four should not count as “round one” when it is four games among teams that will have no effect on the Final Four whatsoever (VCU notwithstanding).  Call that the play-in round.  Sheesh.)

Cohen in the post

From an individual standpoint, I’ll be watching Jake Cohen.  The senior forward is undersized in the post, but can do a little bit of everything, and is the epitome of how good a glue-guy can be. 

 

10. Air Force

 

There is a decent chance the Academy doesn’t make the NCAA’s at all, but if they do, this would be a potentially fun team to cheer for in a 12-5 upset.  They have no real impressive size or athleticism, but seemingly everyone on the roster can hit three-pointers. If they get hot, the Falcons could be that double-digit seed that makes a run to the Sweet 16. 

 

11. Indiana State

 

Odum looks like Wisconsin's Josh Gasser
and may be a better distributer.

The Fighting Trees made the NCAA’s courtesy of a MVC tourney championship two years ago, and didn’t put up a great fight against Syracuse.  I’m not sure we can expect the Sycamores to win a game this year either (if they even make the dance), but they will remain interesting, as point guard Jake Odum is willing to try just about any pass at any time regardless of how big the passing window is.  It would be difficult to find a more interesting guard who isn’t a huge threat as a scorer.

 

12. Indiana

 

The Hoosiers have a sweet mix of athletes, and Christian Watford, Cody Zeller, and Victor Oladipo are all a treat to watch.  But the guy I really enjoy is Jordan Hulls, who can shoot it from anywhere with a lightning-quick trigger.  It’s cool when the shortest, most un-athletic guy on a likely one-seed is arguably the most dangerous. 

13. Bucknell



Muscala

Bucknell could conceivably get in even should they bow out of their conference tournament early, but I don’t think that will come into play.  The Bison rarely make an appearance on television, so we don’t really get to see center Mike Muscala play that often.  Which is too bad, because the senior is averaging 19 points and 11 boards.  Also he is from Roseville, Minnesota, so it’s fun to see what the Gophers missed out on to a tiny Patriot League school by not successfully recruiting their own metro area.
