Spoiler and Trigger Warning on "The Walking Dead"

[asterroc]

I know there are people on my flist who would watch The Walking Dead, or will watch it in the future. I also know there are people on my flist who would appreciate a warning about triggers.
So below I have listed the type of trigger in two particular episodes, recommendations on how to skip it, and attempt to give a minimum of spoilers in the process.


Episode 3 - "Tell It to the Frogs"
Trigger: spousal abuse. If this is trigger-y for you, you probably should avoid the whole episode, and perhaps the whole series because I've lost track of the many episodes where it comes up, but this is the episode where it comes to a head.

Episode 6 - "TS-19" - season finale
Trigger: sexual assault. You can skip the one scene with this: after the party when the drunk guy walks in and starts talking to the woman in the rec room, skip ahead to the next scene.

I've been reading the comic since it first came out, haven't really gotten into the show yet and this may be a spoiler but, I can't wait til they get to the prison. As a heads up there's... a lot of what could be considered 'triggers' in that story arc.
