The Season Five Episode 12-16 titles are:
- "Remember"
- "Forget"
- "Spend"
- "Try"
- "Conquer"
These one-word titles are all connected, which doesn’t seem to be the case with the previous two titles, “What Happened and What’s Going On
,” and “The Distance.”What connects them? The Spoiling Dead Fans posted about this on Tumblr. Here’s what they wrote:
The titles seem to a be a reference to a story by William Faulkner
that Dale told the group around the camp fire in Season 1. "I like what the father said to the son when he gave him a watch that had been handed down through generations. He said: ‘I give you a mausoleum of all hope and desire which will fit your individual needs, no better than it did mine and my father before me. I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it. For a moment, now and then, and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it.’”
Wow! Dale made that speech back in Season 1, Episode 4, "Vatos
" (which was written by Robert Kirkman) when asked why he still bothers to keep time.
" (which was written by Robert Kirkman) when asked why he still bothers to keep time. It is awesome that the Scott Gimple and the writers continue to reference past characters like Dale into the story.
Remember that Glenn knew where to find another battery in the RV, because of Dale’s lessons too.
