Anyone else psyched for this new series? All the ad's during the Friday the 13th movies have me pumped. I read the comics for a while and can say that it's a great story and the show looks to be doing it justice.
(http://blog.newsarama.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10087/the_walking_dead_comic.gif)
so. psyched.
Totally.
And yeah, the ads have definitely done it for me. I was moderately intrigued before but now I can't imagine missing it.
totally, positively, completely psyched. everytime the ads come on during Mad Men I just lose at on my girlfriend. I like to point out that it is described as "epic", and also it has zombies. and its AMC, achieving the greatness HBO kind of used to.

I've read all the books except the most recent (vol. 12?), courtesy of my neighbor. They are awesome and freaky. Sort of like if they made The Road into a cartoon.
I haven't read them... maybe I should pick them up?

Definitely. They're totally entertaining.
Never really heard to much about this. Looks pretty awesome.
The first episode has leaked and is circulating on the interwebs now.
/just sayin'
^ I saw that and have refrained from watching it so that I can watch it in all it's gory glory on TV with the little woman.
Way psyched at this point...
For anyone who has AMC On Demand, they have the first issue of the comics up to watch in 'Motion Comic' form.
And for anyone who's never experienced a Motion Comic, check it out. It's a pretty damn cool idea.
There were zombies at my Metro station this morning.

A promotion? Or was it just freaks on the way to/from a costume party?

Pretty sure it was a promo gag.
About a dozen full-blown zombies made-up and moving as zombies do...
Very cool.

quick reminder if your dvr isn't set yet for tonight
figured we would be distracted by some little concert in New Jersey this evening
Very excited about this show!!! Can't wait for it to start!
Watched it last night so I can LST properly tonight...
fucking awesome.
Watched this last night and dam, great show. Can't wait till next Sunday. After lost ended I've been lost for a tv show. So I guess this might fill the void but will never replace such a magnificent show
i find it amusing that this show takes place in a world exactly like our own, except for one key difference: in this world, no one has ever seen a zombie movie. they've never even heard of zombies!
anyway. just sayin'.
That's a fairly common move.
In Star Trek IV, you didn't see people walking up to Spock in San Francisco and shouting "Live Long And Prosper!"

well, i see what you're getting at, but that analogy doesn't hold.
it's not that there was a movie once where they made up a term, 'zombies,' and the creatures themselves, and then this show came along and in some way continued that story or took place in that world.
irrespective of any movies, books, etc., zombies are real. in a sense, anyway. they're in haiti. the western world has known about them for what, 100 years or more?
so this is all a very minor thing (but then, what good intertube discussion isn't?), but yes, when i watch this zombie show, i'm briefly taken out of the reality of the show when characters, seeing the dead walk, say 'we call 'em--walkers.' no you don't. you call them zombies. that's the word!

Well, they could just be creating a subset of zombies in their own world, 'walkers' as opposed to 'runners' like you'd find in 28 Days Later.
Plus there's roamers and lurkers... Some call 'em biters.
Speaking of 'biters'...
Has anyone heard of 'Ankle Biters'? It's a movie about Vampires with Achondroplasia. I always pick it up and think about getting it at the video store, but have never done it.

oh man. imagine for a moment if instead of this random cop guy being the hero of the show, it was TJ Hooker.
that would be the best show in the history of television.

This kinda bothered me also. The fact that different groups of people, fully apart from each other, call them 'Walkers' is odd.
I may give this a spin, I've been hearing great things, not only from this board.

I think the term 'walker' as used in the show might come from some official designation (CDC maybe?). It seems to me that before society totally collapsed there was some effort to isolate the walkers from the healthy population (hence there being tanks and barriers all over ATL) so that might be where the common use of the term came from.
I'd also like to add that I'm glad that skinhead was left handcuffed to the roof. Rick should have shot him, imo.

I agree the dude should have shot the skinhead. But then i thought, the guy who played the skinhead was the only recognizable actor i've seen on the show. So why kill him off in one episode. And why did they make a point of showing the black dude dropping the tool bag just in arms reach of the dude?
My thought is we will see that racist fucker again, i dont know how but just a hunch
this may be a spoiler if you didn't watch the 'scenes from next week' portion, but apparently the skinhead's brother makes an appearance in the next episode (understandably pissed that his brother has been left to die)
I didn't recognize the actor though, so I wouldn't have minded if he had been blasted. I always enjoy seeing terrible people get what they've got coming to them.

When I referred to different groups, I meant the people in the city, and the father and son the Rick first met.
Did anyone else find it slightly annoying that the guy gets shot, wakes up, realizes that he's not just waking up from a nap but waking up from a coma, finds his hospital in ruins, realizes that the power and phones are dead, finds hundreds of dead bodies on his way out, and encounters zombies - yet when he makes contact with other humans, he never asks how long this has been going on? I'm not saying it's a huge deal or anything, but it bugs me a little. You'd think that after wrapping your head around the current situation, you'd then want to find out how long you were in a coma for, right? Just curious if this bugged anyone else.
Anyhow, very cool show. I'll definitely be on board for the rest of the season.
Ytowndan, I actually thought the same thing. I haven't read any of the Walking Dead graphic novels to know the story, but it makes me question how long and how much money AMC has invested in this initial season. More info in the story could lead to further seasons. And if no one is watching, its a waste of money for the network. But the premier got super huge ratings so hopefully it lasts.
it has already been picked up for a second season.
Then that's good news. I'm not much of a zombie flick fan, but its great to see different type of shows of tv.

this show went from intriguing to embarassing awfully fast.
They're way off the map laid out by the comics. Not that I expected them to stay strictly to the books. Certainly they need to expand things a bit to work within the new medium but I had a bad feeling when I saw all of those extra characters running around.
Perhaps with the way things ended this week will lead them back on track.

I agree with you Phil. Since i never read the comic i have nothing to base the show on. Its definately a really good show.
Finally saw the most recent episode last night. I thought it was ok, until the final scene when the camp was attacked and thought that was the highlight of the show.
For the record, I am not disappointed with the show. I actually like that the changes have kept me guessing a little bit but I do want them to maintain sight of the core story line.
Can't wait ti get out of work tonight and watch this. I love this show so much.
Tonight's episode will have to wait for tomorrow as I will be at the Colts game tonight.
So much for getting on track with the comic's storyline. Not that I didn't like what happened last night.
The thing I didn't like was the news that next week is the season finale.
wtf?
That's only six episodes.

Season two will have 13 eps and begins shooting in February.
Just watched last night's show. I enjoyed it. It sucks that next week is the finale already, but at least season two will have a normal amount of episodes.

Right on. That's pretty much a rule in my zombie apocalypse book. If your heart stops beating then you're off the friend list and on the chopping block.

:shakehead:
QuoteOut of the six episodes that will make up the first season of The Walking Dead, Darabont ended up writing two himself, while also co-writing/rewriting the remaining four. In comparison, the writing staff was only responsible for two episodes this season – but still with Darabont in the lead chair.
Sounds like there won't be much (if any) of a difference. Sucks that the writing staff lost their jobs, though.

Sounds like there won't be much (if any) of a difference. Sucks that the writing staff lost their jobs, though.
Yeah, it sounded like it wasn't much of a change.
happy 12K, whore. :-D
I noticed that too. I thought you deleted a couple so you could save your 12,000th for some big, epic post. :-D

I do too. The script has been kind of weak for this first season - at first I thought it was the acting, but I think the actors are really just suffering from a poorly written script.
Maybe we'll see improvements next season; I mean, the show is great...so if it improves, that's fine by me.

true, but by then all the zombies will have rotted away to bone, so life will be a lot easier for everyone.
While that is a loooooong time to wait, at least it isn't hinging on a cliffhanger like Lost used to do. Those waits felt like they took forever.
did anyone else think that the explosion at the end looked retarded? Reminded me of Lethal Weapon 5.
Yes.
Special Effects fail.
Of course, the reality is that they all would have died in an explosion of the magnitude req'd to do that to the building so...

Yeah, I found it funny that there vehicles were across a small stretch of grass, but when the building exploded and looked like it covered at least a few blocks with debris, they were unharmed. :|
Speaking of the grass, did anyone else notice that the grass at the CDC (and the residential neighborhoods) is freshly cut? Those "walkers" sure know how to keep their area up to code. :-D
But anyhow, I liked the finale. As RJ said, it's gonna be a long wait.

what? no chance. this show is anything but subtle. whatever he whispered will be big next season.
My money is on his wife being pregnant, for three reasons.
First, the whole blood test thing was put in there for a reason, and IMO, I don't believe it was just to illustrate how "thorough" this guy was with the rules. I mean, this was the same guy who was contemplating suicide that very same day. Plus, they not only made a point to mention that those were his conditions, but they invested an additional scene in the season finale to actually show the blood tests being administered. They want you to remember that blood test. And it wasn't to show how "so and so" was infected, so there's gotta be another reason or they wouldn't have wasted our time.
Second, I think the whole point of him whispering to Rick was that it was private. There were people within hearing distance, which is why he whispered, so why hide something helpful to their survival as a group? I can't think of a reason.
Third, there will be more than twice the amount of episodes in this next season. Which means more time for character development. Which means some of that will come out of character drama. And what better TV drama is there than baby-mama-drama? :roll:
Let's have another show of hand of those who have read the comics, please...

I agree that he was whispering about Ricks wife being prego.

I have, although I'm sure you've read more than me. I'm still quite a bit behind. Speaking of which there should be a new issue or two out.
Am I the only one that thinks Shane's gotta go? I would love to see him munched by a walker (or perhaps get nailed by some accidental friendly fire). Guy's a douche.
Watched the season finale last night:
Thought the doctor character was a very odd-bird towards the end, especially during the whole self destruct bit.
Never thought about Doc whispering that Eicks wife is prego, but makes sense.
Anyone else think that Ricks wife is kind of foxy?
I am totally going to forget about this show from now until October 2011.
I'm gonna watch this season ten time between now and next October.
Plus there's always the books. The comic is running about monthly now (79 just came out a couple weeks ago and yeah, I've read the whole series to date) and they've been cranking out the collections.
I highly recommend folks check it out.

Where would one find them? I'm going to need something to occupy my attention over Christmas break
I watched the show from beginning to end. My enthusiam went on the wane with each passing episode, and the finale was not as strong as the initial episode I thought.
To answer RJ's question, I wasn't even aware this was based on graphic novels. Knowing this explains why there is such a good following for this show, and I am pleased for the readers of those novels.
The initial episode was visually stunning, as well as the episode which began with the tank. I think the writing was the strongest in these two episodes as well, and then it began to decline and became difficult to suspend disbelief. Returning to Atlanta, twice? Shane fucking his partner's wife not long after they left the area where the hospital and main character were located? And what we saw was evidently not the first time since they took hold in the woods. I would have bought it had they been sleeping together prior to the virus taking hold (remember Shane quizzing Rick in the squad car about how things were at home?), but the wife's statements that she was in it because her husband was dead is ridiculous.
I don't doubt the pregnancy angle may be used, but why would that test be run to screen for virus? Also, I might add the main character and his wife fornicated in the tent upon reunion, not long after the initial face down ass up scene, but definitely before making the last "You're Killing Us!" trip to the CDC. This obfuscates any results the writers may use.
How did the virus come to be? Was it manufactured? We have more info given the video clip from the Doc (which includes his wife being shot in the head? honestly...), but we are no where near closer to answering this question than when the show started.
I'll watch the next episode in October, but I won't be counting the days.
Read The Book.
The CDC was not in the book...
That finale tripped me out.
What would you guys have done? Stayed, or left?
In reality, I can't really imagine only 1 person staying. Dunno, I feel like at that point I probably would have felt like it was "my time". Who knows, though.
I thought the whispering part was a total cop-out cliff-hanger too. I don't like stuff like that - too up front and obvious (but as someone mentioned above, this show is anything but subtle)
And yeah, I hate Shane. But he can't go - too important to the storyline.
Oct can't come soon enough. Like RJ, I will prob watch this season a few times between now and then.

I've been at them for about three days, currently on issue 28.
the season closer was a little weird.
way to quick to find this, place, chill, fight and explode....all in one episode?
hopefully they devote a little more time to the story line next season.

I kind of like the lack of "zombie-action". It's less like a movie that way. Also I think this helps to build tension - the whole idea of there being zombies lurking around is utilized as more of a mind game in this show, rather than an outlet for action sequences. I like this because it kind of wears you down mentally and keeps you on edge instead of keeping you occupied with random movie-like thriller scenes.

I had the same thought at one point (about it being an episode of walking dead) in my dream. I woke up at the point when I felt hands on me and zombies about to bite into me. Literally came up swinging (and then I realized I was punching air and being a retard)

Why did we all have zombie dreams last night...?
I was actually telling phil that I wasn't too freaked out by my dream - it was actually kinda fun. The "zombies" in my dream weren't even as intense as they are in the walking dead. I was safe from them as long as i was behind a locked door. I was in this huuuuuge house and it was almost more of a puzzle than anything else - lots of going from one locked room to the next, but zombies were getting trapped in some rooms and it was hard to keep track of them all! But the f*ckers were slow as hell, so blasting them with a magnum really wasn't that hard at all.
::would dream it again::
:lol:
My dream was bizzare and scary but I would definitely dream it again. At the end of the dream, I was cornered on the roof deck of McGrupp's mtn house blasting zombies with the shotgun that Shane uses in the show and singing "I shall be released." When I ran out of ammo and got overrun was when I woke up.
Shit's going down. Zombies are coming.
So just finished reading this:
(http://img.amazon.ca/images/I/51sOOU5v6qL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
I definately really enjoyed it. Different from what has happened so far on the show, and imo in a better way too!! Super easy and fun read. I just ordered the next 2 books. i'm more stoked to see what happens in the books over the show.
Heard an interview with Robert Kirkman the writer of Walking dead this morning on Sirius.
He said the next season will be 13 episodes and will be definately drawing more closer to the books. He said they will be introducing characters like Michonne and hopefully The Govenor this season.

QuoteWhile most fathers bond with their sons through a game of catch or a weekend of fishing, Stephen King spends time with his son by coming up with new ways to scare the bejesus out of us.
While we reported earlier this week that Stephen King was in talks to write an episode of AMC's hit The Walking Dead, it is now confirmed that the plan is for King to team up with his son, Joe Hill, on the episode. While nothing is definite yet, the episode would air during the next two seasons of the show.
King has written numerous best-selling books such as The Shining, the Dark Tower series and countless others, but his son has been gaining just as much notoriety recently with his novels Heart Shaped Box, Horns and his comic series Locke & Key.

Awesome!! I've read a little of Joe Hill's Locke & Key and thought he was a good writer. I bet this episode will be pretty good.
Also, I like the mention of 'The next
two seasons of the show'. That makes me happy.
Yep. Two bits of awesome news for the price of one!

yeah, i'm sorta suprised AMC hasn't advertised any sort of rehash marathon of season 1 for this week.
i'm sorta thinking that it might actually be because of the behind the scenes negativity that was apparent.
which could mean this season is going to RAWK!

Been having them off and on for about a week now. It's what I miss most about this show.
Me too! I fucking love my zombie apocalypse dreams.
They are the best. Except when they don't follow the rules (I woke up pissed one day because people in my dream could be cured and that shit just ain't happening)
PUMPED!!
just remembered about the marathon! i dunno if i can take 10 hours of scary zombie stuff, but i think i'll try!
Cujo is on right now...
Love it!

killer flick
watched The Shining last night
just spanged some quarters for a single beer. feelin chill. 15 minutes and its Zombie time! :beerbang:
lovin it.
apparently there was some issue with the first season writers... i cant recall exactly, but i think it had something to do why there was only 6 episodes. i think it was around the time of the hollywood writers strike last year... anyway, stoked to hear that this season is supposed to be alot better, more in line with the books, and 13 episodes i think.
PS. we need a zombie smiley stat!

Rearranged my afternoon sp I can get back for this.
Right now I'm waiting for the start of "How the West Was Won" in it's original 70mm.
RJ you gotta put that smiley in!
yeah, i've had the marathon on all day. i sat through the first 3-4, but ive been phasing in and out of the last few.
time to get focused!!!
kick a$$ premiere!
really great continuity from the end of the last season.
didnt skip a beat.
i could have watched all 13 episodes tonite! i wish i could have!
Fucking AWESOME premiere!
I had absolutely no idea that it was an hour and a half premiere, so that was a bonus.
SO psyched for this season!!
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
I did not see that ending coming (was this something that happens in the graphic novel?).
Anyhow, that was an all around killer opener. Can't wait for next week!

I meant to ask the same question, but forgot to ask it in my post above.
I have the first several comics, or graphic novels, whatever on a flash drive, but have yet to start them. I'm in the middle of too many projects, shows, video games, and whatever else to start something new right meow, but I look forward to start reading these in the near future.
My mom had never watched it (which is crazy if you knew how much this woman loves horror stories/movies), but I told her about the season 1 replay a day or two before season 2 premiere (she absolutely
*LUVS* horror flicks/books), and I figured she would dig this, so she DVR'd it, but she watched the 2 or 3 episodes and said she "didn't think she was going to be able to get in to it or like it". I told her for being such a huge horror fan, she is crazy for not "getting" this. :-o
I convinced her to watch another 2 or 3 episodes, then tell me she still didn't dig it.

Yeah, that's why I haven't started the books yet, because I know that if I start them, I won't be able to stop and I will quickly get ahead of the TV series.
Was it me or were there just a ton of commercials? Like every 6 minutes. We Tivo'd it and it seemed like it was less than an hour long when skipping the commercials.

Kirkman is an Executive Producer and writer for the series and plans to handle it as a separate entity. Major arcs will likely be followed but things aren't going to go down the same way.

10 Silly Things in The Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere
1. It's okay to let your son walk up to a wild horned Buck he wants to pet because it's a cute scene.
2. 5000 zombies can sneak up on you. Even if you have a look-out on the roof of a camper.
3. T-Dawg can gash his arm so deep he bleeds out like he cut a major artery, shirt soaked in blood, but just bandage him up and he's good in no time flat. No transfusion required.
4. "Staying in my line of sight" means "I don't even notice if you aren't around, much less opening a car with a dead body that could attack you and bringing back a bag of extremely sharp blades."
5. Zombies can no longer smell the living so the gut-smearing to hide your scent thing was just for fun.
6. Camper bathrooms don't have locks. Something that easily keeps out zombies. Use feet instead.
7. In order to save a lost and frightened girl, you need to draw 2 zombies as far away from her as possible, just to hit them with a rock which could have been done at any time. Consequently, you still lose the girl.
8. To hide a bleeding friend from a zombie, stick a dead body on him. That will cover the scent of blood that...wait...are they covering scents or hiding?
9. If you try to kill yourself and someone stops you, you won't get another chance so stay pissed.
10. Get mad when the guy that tried to rape you no longer wants to be your sons role model.
^ Those are pretty funny and poignant.
I hesitated to say anything since there's so much love for that premier but honestly, I was kinda bored for significant chunks of it, and the loopholes were laughable to me (as well as the final episode of season 1). I truly did laugh some of the holes while I was watching the episode; thanks for posting that list :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
Overall still a kickass show and will continue watching, I just think they need to be writing more consistently (the zombie scent thing being a perfect example).
I loved the season 2 premiere, I noticed just about everything that was posted on that list above as they happened. If I sat down and took the time, my list would have been almost identical to that.
and since you brought it up, queenie, the season 1 finale was weak and laughable to me as well.
Still love the show, though.

yep. not a good idea to watch this show after finishing season 4 of Breaking Bad.
pretty much every bland character on Walking Dead does whatever is the stupidest thing possible.
there is no internal logic to the show, as those points above make clear.
it's just kind of...baffling.
i wanted to give it another chance, but this episode was dumb all over.
I must admit, I really don't have a favorite character, and think they all kind of suck and aren't very smart.
Oh no, am I really second guessing my interest in the show?
It could indeed be written more betterer, but scenes like a crossbow through a zombie head, and multiple screwdriver stabs into a zombie eye socket, will keep me coming back.

Digging through zombie guts looking for pieces of little girl also put a smile on my face.

That was awesome.
Also, people hype the smell thing as a flaw but that's bullshit.
They aren't fucking bloodhounds. If they see you and don't smell dead people, they eat you.
If they don't hear you, they don't look for you.
If they don't see you, they don't try to smell you.

He's been my favorite character since his entrance to the show. I love how the group is standing around in the woods trying to kill the walker with axes and guns and whatnot, and he comes out of nowhere with his crossbow, nails the zombie right between the eyes, and says "You gotta hit em in the brain... don't y'all know NOTHIN?!"
Redneck is not in the book.

Definitely. He was a big hit among my roommates last year, all of whom were from SC and like the loudmouth redneck aspect of his character. Dude definitely doesn't put up with any shit.
In the books as well as the series, I've always liked Glen, even though he was a little quiet in the premier.

PM me them as well. I got all amped up at the beginning of the episode when Rick was about to say something about it over the walkie and then got let down
Theories are gradually becoming harder to formulate as they are ignoring so many restrictions/plot elements they have put in place. Perhaps the most obvious example being when the radiator hose breaks on the van so they stop to see if they can fix it while others run down the road to see if they can find car parts/supplies. After some conversation and pointless drama, they hop back in the van and drive away, while the crew going to get auto parts never came back, nor did the van ever get fixed.
Again, the show is fun and all, but holy shit the holes make in impossible to bother figuring out what may happen (assuming they stray from the book).

When you say "van" are you referring to the camper or some break down in season one that I do not recall?

Good episode. And, yes, T is being SER. Rick does, indeed, turn into a zombie.
:evil: :wink:
Solid episode for sure...
Hell of an ending.
Also, for those of you reading the comic, issue 90 came out today and is pretty strong. The second & third to last pages are way powerful and really underline what The Walking Dead is really about.

Bout to take a stroll, may stop by the comic book store a few blocks from my house and see what they got. I've only read through #80 so I have some catching up to do.

Also, in the letters section, they confirm that the early season 2 ratings have ensured a third season of the tv show.

Don't worry.
But consider... Is this a show/book about zombies or is it a show/book about people who remain in a world defined by zombies?

Yeah yeah.
I get your point RJ in that it's an interesting drama about people living in a world with a whole new set of rules and less of a
zombie walker-slaughtering-eye-candy-show, but season 2 has been such a snooze for me, especially the last couple of episodes. I'd still like to check out the books because I think it may be better as a book than on film for many reasons but I just dunno if the show can hold my interest any longer.
They zombies.
Walkers are zombies that walk around looking for lunch.
There are also lurkers. They just lie about waiting for lunch to come along.
You have been warned.
Personally, I've been liking season two better than season one. I tend to get bored with a show that isn't, on some level, a character drama. Season two has me more invested in the characters, as opposed to "just the show".

Agreed, i thought last weeks show was the best of the season so far. I even pulled a "brother in the movie theatre" move and yelled "don't go into that Barn dude!!!" at the TV.
I think this coming Sunday's episode is going to be tits.

Me too.
Took it up a notch this week.
Psyched.
Headsup.
Next week is the "mid-season finale" and the show will not return until February 12. That will be the first of six episodes bringing the season total to 13.
Whoa!
Awesome.
Great episode but do I really have to wait until February?

I like how the show is deviating from the books. It keeps it full of surprises.
I'll admit that I enjoyed that one too!
I liked everything about that episode except that shane was still breathing at the end of it.

Funny because Randi is also addicted to the comics and has now read them all.
too bad darabont was forced out. sounds like his season 2 opener would have been by far the best thing this show has done.

so weak...that could have been great. but at least the little girl is dead and we can move forward. :samurai:
Wow, that sucks. That's one thing I've wanted from this show that we haven't really gotten; detailed flashbacks of the initial mayhem. Other than the short hospital scene and the brief flashback to Shane and them watching the bombing in Atlanta from a distance, I don't think we've gotten any real back-story. . . let alone a whole episode devoted to it. Anyhow, that sounds like it would have been one hell of an episode. :|

The books don't dick around with a lot of flashback & backstory either.
I'm sure Frank is great and his idea for the season2 kickoff is strong but that cdc storyline blew so... dude's not perfect either.

IMO, a fucking awesome episode last night!!!
In the beginning when the walker was busting through Lori's car window and ripped his own face off!
Nice to see Herschel put on his "the world is now fucked" pants and start blasting walkers and stepping up to Shane!!
Shane is going to go off soon!!
he's already dead to me.

I share your anger in they way it's going with Shane. I was very disappointed when Rick had his "moment" and decided to go back and save him, even though it was executed with a badass, 1990s, hanging-outta-the-window, gangsta-rap-style, drive-by.
The season isn't over, so anything could happen still. But I fear that everything will just "be alright" with Shane and the crew.
ETA: My favorite part of the episode (zombie killings aside) is when Shane was looking out of the window, watching the lone walker out in the field all by itself. It fit perfectly (especially at the end). Definitely one of my favorite shots of the show.
I loved that closing shot.
The walker in the field smelled rank like prime foreshadowing.
Phil, I hear you but Kirkman has said that we need to let go of the plot expectations built on reading the books. Things simply will not be going down in the same way.
Other things I liked:
Rick talking about the coming Winter. It's crazy that it's not Winter yet. But that's good.
How Andrea called out Lori for her sexist, gender-role, bullshit.
And really, finally, some good action.
Finally caught up and watched the past two weeks' episodes last night. This weeks might be my favorite episode yet. Even Herschel is shooting zombies now. Good shit.

While i agree that Lori's gender-role speech was BS, I think Andrea is a friggin' nut. We've already got Shane as the gung-ho nut. Do we need a female version? Bitch learns how to shoot and all of a sudden she's a hard ass Annie Oakley.
Im postimg this from my phone so im not sure what will come up.. It should be an interview with Kirkman. SPOILERS. SPOILERS. FUCKING SPOILERS.

True, it just bugs me that they devote so much time in the show to making him such a loathsome character only to have him make nice in the end. I want this prick to get what he deserves.

This. Mad at people for keeping her from killing herself, then takes credit for not killing herself (her "i found my own reasons for living" bs).
looking forward to next week big time, I feel like we're in for a kickass rest of the season.

Not a difficult feat, considering the first half of the season was spent searching the woods for an ancillary character.

We didn't really get any info on it at all, but I'm guessing that the virus has now mutated or something? In the sense that it can now be passed from person to person, infecting the person as a "carrier" and, when they die, the virus takes over as if they had been bitten in the first place?

It's something they addressed later on in the books. When people die, they come back as walkers regardless of having not been bitten. I'm not sure why they're making a point to emphasize it so early in the story in the tv show (because to me it seemed like a minor detail in the books), but my guess is the writers want to use it as a plot element.
I also liked T-Dog using the backside of the claw hammer to kill the zombie in the opening few scenes. Clearly they did that to clear up the ambiguity as to whether his character is a stand-in for Tyreese. I'm excited to see where they take the character in the next season.
Beginning to end, I thought that episode was top-notch. Definitely going to watch it again today.
Edit: I've been watching a lot of the cast interviews on amc's website, it seems not a single one of them is in any way familiar with the books. Coupled with the inane comments people are leaving (calling the writers "faggots" for killing off shane, etc.) it's pretty irritating.
i was surprised they killed off Shane since his character is such an integral part of the dynamic of the Group.

yup.

To be honest with you I was too. I thought they'd keep him as a way of departing from the comic storyline. I wasn't entirely satisfied with how it happened, but I'm glad it did.

Yeah and i'm not sure how i feel about walknig through the woods, then all of a sudden being back at the farm and Carl seeing the whole thing go down. Felt slightly cliche to me
I'm so glad that sonofabitch is finally dead! Twice!!like in the book

Ultimately (read: hopefully) it will get him killed.
Agreed with RJ, neighborhood is going to pot. Shame too, given they just moved everything inside.
This show is like a trainwreck I can't keep my eyes from.
Some good coverage:

season finale is going to be epic for sure.
thank god it seems as if we will finally have to get off the fucking farm... finally.
Opening Scene= SIIIIICK!!! :samurai:
Absolutely PHENOMINAL. period.
That was leaps and bounds above any episode in the series, IMHO.
FUCKING RAWK.

Yes, things are about to get good.
MICHONNE!!!!!!!
On a side note, there's a Michonne origin story in this months Playboy. Didn't know if everyone knew that yet.
The rick freakout was a tad unnecessary I thought but DAMN was that a good episode.
I haven't watched a single episode of this season.
Can't wait to catch up.
That was killer! What a way to exit the whole farm story. . .
Also, that was sweet the way they threw Michonne in there at the end (as well as the birds-eye view of the prison in the closing shot). Combine that with the news of them casting The Governor just a few weeks ago and I'm fucking PUMPED for next season. This is gonna blow, waiting until October.
OMG this is killing me!
I am not going to make it until tonight without reading this thread....
So far so good, tho.
Absolutely loved last nights episode!!!
Blasting their way out of the farm!!!
Michonne!!!!! Both my wife and I were stoked when we saw her!
I loved how Ricks character took the turn at the campground. Watch out, here comes the new Rick. Fucking bad ass!
October cant come fast enough.

Season 1 > Season 2
Quote from: GBL on March 19, 2012, 12:32:35 PM
Season 1 > the first half of Season 2
fyp.
second half of season two rules.
With Michonne, The Governer and the prison all coming up in season 3, it looks to be the most intense season yet.
THAT was awesome.
Hard Rick is Hard.
Can't believe that Andrea got the left behind but that makes a good entrance for Michonne...
And the final shot? Sweet.
just watched the last 3 episodes last night...KILLER! I'm glad Dale was offed and figured it was only a matter of time for Shane.
I never read the series so I had no idea who that was at the end with Andrea and I assumed that was a prison.
Season 3 can't come soon enough.

Just finished the 2nd season.
I had mixed feelings about it, overall. I liked the progression of Rick's character into the realm of the badass. I liked seeing Shane go. Carl is fucking annoying (lol @ the thing blat posted a couple pages back). I just thought a lot of the acting was especially poor in the 2nd season. Not sure if it was the script or the actors, but I found myself laughing more often than I should while watching the show.
Also, Hershel w/ shotgun = badass old man.
Can't wait for next season.

Andrew Lincoln tries too hard. Also, it's sort of funny listening to some of these actors try to do southern accents

You pretty much summed up my opinions as well. I almost stopped watching it halfway through the season, but decided to see it to the end.
Very glad I did. Last two episodes were the best since the first episode. I was blown away. I have not read the comic/graphic novel so I do not know about the character introduced at the end nor do I understand the implications of the building shown in the last scene (seems to be a prison according to earlier posts), so I am excited to see this take a turn into a new direction. The farm was getting stale, but now I can't wait for the next season!
Telltale Games has just released the first episode of The Walking Dead game for Xbox360, PS3, Windows, and Mac OS. There is reportedly going to be an iOS version, but it's not out yet.

That actually sounds really cool, I hope they re-air it. The books are in B&W, you know.
I just checked and it's not set to re-air anytime soon. If it was listed as new and your DVR recorded it I wonder why mine didn't record it.
Looks like I may have to try to find it on eztv.it or on demonoid.

Pretty much what I expected as well. I read all the books in between last season and this one, so this is the first time I'm watching it from that perspective. And, so far, I'm really impressed with how they brought the prison to life.
As far as the time jump goes, I couldn't say for sure, but it's been a while. Lorie is huge and about to give birth and, when we saw them last, she wasn't really showing yet (as far as I can remember). Also in that scene between Andrea and Michonne, one of them mentioned "all winter long". I guess it's safe to say they jumped from late summer/early fall to some time in the spring? That would be about right if you use Lorie's baby bump as a guide.

My issue is that when the prison was shown in the background at the end of the season, it looked to be a mile or two away from where they were camping. It took them 6-7 months to find it? Small thing to bitch about and not something to lose sleep over, I guess.

the exec producer talked about that on the after show last night. he explained the closeness of the prison was correct at the end of last season, but b/c of the walker "herd movements" the group was funneled in different directions and wasnt given a clear view/path to the prison all winter.
anyway, season 3 gonna rawk. i think last night kicked major ass and was pretty much better than all of season 2 combined.
the character development from the actors standpoint seemed like they have really grown into the positions they are in now, and there is no more sitting around a farm trying to be a soap opera... helps Dale's bitch ass is gone, lol.
really thought the overall production was tip top last night.
sooo many great questions after the EP too... daaaam i hope the old man gonna live after gettin his leg chopped off- doh!
though, i'm bettin he's a gonner. it seemed havin the kid scope out the bunk next to blondy in the prison cell was foreshadowing in a way.
Carl hittin puberty, lol. def lucked out that the blond cuttie doesnt have any other breeding options, lol. go carl!!!

Your post was a bit of a spoiler for the show...
This episode was great!
I have a theory about the time gap. The show is running into what I call "The Walt Conundrum" (named after Lost) in which the show has a young child actor who ages faster than his character on the show does. They are either going to have to kill of Carl, or keep jumping huge gaps of time.
This season will rock!!! Other survivors are scarier than walkers now!!!

I have a feeling a lot of the 'prisoners' side stories won't happen with the exception of Andrew, who runs off from the group and disappears into a group of zombies, and that already happened, and the story of Axel, who's only real story is he joins the group. Strange how they made Axel a small southern gentleman type when in the books he's a big burly biker.

Huh. . . I didn't realize that small dude was Axel. Guess I missed his name in the dialog of this episode. Now that I realize that guy is Axel, I agree that it's strange casting. But, then again, I like that the show doesn't follow every single detail of the books. That's actually what made them interesting. Even though I had seen the show, I was getting surprised by the same story arcs in the books. Same general storyline, but the specifics are quite different and surprising.
Did they name that character Axel? I know he dropped some very similar dialog...
I also know that there is a potential storyline involving the prisoners remaining that could be pretty awesome and devastating and I feel that they teased it at one point.
I'll say no more but if you read the books, you probably know which I mean...

I think that storyline might make it's way into the show, they seem to have built up one of the group to fill the role of the other half of that story.

Doesn't really pertain to this season, but not entirely untrue for the most part.
Season two was in those weeds for a bit.
Season three has started strong like bull.
Those yellow and pink areas of that graph are necessary for building suspense and mood. If you want non-stop action rent a Micheal Bay movie, and then realize that all that action leaves you with stale characters and no plot or story.
I love this show and think the way they tell their stories is awesome.
Eta: re-reading this it comes off as dickish, it was not intended that way.

100%.
i really thought season 2 was good "drama" for the most part, but mostly carried through by character progression and good acting.
the storyline and setting really dragged it down in the middle.
however, i feel all that character development last season is really working great for this season, so we can just get some serious plot and action now that we already understand certain motivations and whatnot.
follow me?
regardless. im thinking the writers are on a roll with tthis season so far and im thinking its just going to keep rolling.
we havent even seen much of teh other side of the group with blondie and the katana chick and the new town or whatever.
this season has me WANTING every ep to be 2 hours long.
last year i was dozing off half way thru each ep.
not anymore.
the actors have really put in great work and both them and the writers arent taking the easy street waay out any time soon from what it looks like.
you kno, one more thing i just gotta say thats so great about this show. just imagine it on ANY other major network... they would all be super clean and good looking and have a ton of hair gell somehow. i really respect the fact that these people look like they STINK! lol.
Awesome. Knew we'd see his face again at some point.

Exactly. Right before it started, I was saying to the wifey that he was due to show up soon.
Small little detail that I really liked was that Michonne was using her 'pets' as pack mules. She had bags of equipment strapped to them. In the books they did not carry anything. Such a small thing but I really liked it.
Have all of you that read the books read the Michonne story from Playboy yet? You learn her origin and the origin of her pets in it.
They issued the Playboy pages combined with a handful of pages from the book where we met her as a one-shot earlier this month.

**Probably not a spoiler, but if you're sensitive to that type of thing don't read this post**
Does anyone else that reads the books think they essentially split the comic version of the Governor into two separate characters for the purposes of the show?
-spoiler-free post-
Not really.
The character that wasn't in the books adds a new flavor element but, as the episode wore on, I think we saw much of the same man we saw in the comics.
What we saw of the Governor played out so differently in the show because the circumstances around the first meeting were not at all the same.
the governor in the show seemed a little too...human (for lack of a better word). He is a sick bastard, don't get me wrong, but it seems a lot of the irrational/unstable aspects of the character have been transferred...
I really think it's too soon to tell.
Although... did you see that last scene?
Kinda calls your comment into question, imo.
I thought the same thing, but I thought his psychosis was very subtle. Until the scene where he shot the military dude in the head! Intense.
I think his psychosis will get more obvious and worse.

That's what I meant when I said he's a sick bastard. I just think he's a pretty calculating guy, rather than the maniac from the comic.

they talked about all this with the producer or whatever on the after show.
forgot what exactly he said, mainly b/c i tune out everything mentioned about the comic. i'm really into the show and every time i hear something about the comic it just ruins things for me, lol.

If you're into reading comics, I'd highly recommend checking them out. You can at least check out the beginning of the series, then stop reading once they find the prison (if you feel the books are too close to the show). That was my plan at first, but I kept on reading because I saw how much they changed the story for seasons one and two.

Seriously.
The comics are amazing.
Enjoying this season much more than season 2 at this stage. The direction of photography looks different to me this season than the two last, hard to put my finger on it (the last episode had a very 'In The Heat Of The Night' type look to it cinematographically). Anyone else notice this?
The Governor has potential, we get to see organizing principles of society which we haven't to date (just the chaos in the absence of it, and the inevitable addition of 'prisoners' to the Rick group won't bring order but more of the same). Reading between the lines in the posts above, I'm looking forward to his development and the meeting with the Rick group.
Andrea hasn't learned anything. Is she adding anything to this story for anyone?
Everyone is so up on Michonne in this thread I'm going to sheath my judgement for now, but what we have seen thus far - flat and acute - any bright student in a freshman English or Gender Studies or Film Studies class in college would be able to slice this character to pieces. And, please don't give me the how cool she is with a samurai sword bullshit. However, that she has appeared within the pages of Playboy is a point in her favor :wink:
All that said, they did kill a child in the beginning-ish part of Season 2 which is quite the step. Nothing like that yet in Season 3, fwiw.

yeah, i cant put my finger on it either, but overall the production value seems to have been escalated.
as i mentioned before they still are doing a great job of keeping things 'dirty' so to speak, but i also have noticed some sort of improved cinematography... who knows, maybe you just put the idea in my head, lol.
the scowling got real out of hand last ep. give me half the amount of scowls and I still get it: she's suspicious and pissed off
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EPIC! :-o :crazy: :samurai: :rawk:
TONIGHTS EP.= PURE GOLD
watching the playback, back to back, i cant get enuf!@!!
Absolutely fucking epic, indeed!
Intense.

They even made reference to the Rise of the Governor book by having the governor call himself Philip.

Kinda simplifies it to call it a book reference. I mean it's all loosely canonical given that Kirkman wrote the story for that book.
Also worth noting, another Governor book is due out shortly.
Enjoyed it.
Curious that they had Carl execute his mother off camera. I wouldn't think they'd pull gore/shock punches in this series? Unless something nefarious is underfoot....

in some sense i agree.
in another light, after last weeks apocalyptic events this weeks EP could be seen as a breather and refresh setup for whats to come.
i think the most interesting thing, writing-wise, this season is obviously the dicotamy of the 2 storylines.
i think the producers are making a point of having 2 counter-balanced stories and paces balancing each other.
on the one hand we have the tension action filled prison, the other the intrespective and emotion laden Fairbury.
the real question, from a critical standpoint, is how well are these two elements being interwoven.
personally, i think they have done a very good job up to this point.
My only concern recently has stemmed from the differing approaches that have resulted from multiple 'Directors' of the episodes.
I would be interested in finding some sort of information concerning their format of constantly using different Directors for each episode.
I'm not sure how much of it is actually part of their vision or if it is just SOP.

Nice touch with the Chopin being played during that scene (Etudes, Op. 10, No. 3 in E Major). Very possible they choreographed that scene to match the music rather than the other way around.
Michonne may well turn out to be a third prong in the storyline in addition to the prison and the town (obvious, though, isn't it, that those in the prison are free, and those in the town are prisoners?).

It was Hoplanta from Red Brick Brewery.
I likes the episode, good use of time, a lot of information covered.
RING...RING...RING... Hello, Rick, you're crazy now! :wtu:
So very much enjoyed this episode.
One great thing about them diverging from the comic is that the surprises are more frequent.
*****SPOILERS AHEAD**********
Rick straight up lost it but let's talk about Lori.
Her body was GONE.
I'd figure, as Rick probably did, that the one zombie munched on her shit but he didn't eat it all... Also, the bullet on the slab like that, did kiddo miss? Is Lori gonna lurch out of a corner for a snack before the season is out?
Also, did I miss them finding Carol's body? T-Dog turned himself into a buffet so she could run and she ran. But they found her head scarf right at the doorway where we last saw her. Did I blink and miss them finding a body? I saw they dug a grave but...
I agree with your questions cuz I was thinking the same thing.
But dude was digging 3 graves. Who was in the 3? Tdog, Carol, and Lori? I can't think they would've just skipped over her burial.
No mention of anyone going back to grab her body.
Prepare for Lori the Walker with a big gash in her belly
Also, the phone!!!!!
folks should expect spoilers itt by now

I've heard people say you could see hair in the zombie's mouth but I didn't see it. even that would not be conclusive but I subscribe to the theory that she was completely devoured and the zombie was too bloated to move.
the group assumes Carol is dead, the audience hasn't seen her since she got separated from T-dog
In the preview of next week's episode, they find Carol's knife.
The whole graves thing seems odd, they didn't bury Laurie's body, Carol's not dead so they didn't bury her body, the only body they may have buried was T-Dog. So why even dig and fill in three graves?
It looked like the bullet that Rick picked up didn't have blood on it, like Carl just shot the ground. So I'm expecting to see zombie Laurie before too long.

I've heard people say you could see hair in the zombie's mouth but I didn't see it. even that would not be conclusive but I subscribe to the theory that she was completely devoured and the zombie was too bloated to move.
the group assumes Carol is dead, the audience hasn't seen her since she got separated from T-dog
please no.
no reason.
if its needed to make 2 threads then we can do it.
i think having this thread to actually discuss the "show" is worth having.
use the comic book thread or something.
I haven't read the comics. we are talking about the show
That said, when discussing the most recent show, please note spoilers.
Folks should resist the urge to drop into the thread when they're behind but, it's a simple courtesy.

I always wait until I've watched the newest episode before I open this thread. Granted that's usually on Monday night, so I don't have to wait that long, but I still avoid it all day on Monday. We used to do the same thing in the LOST thread, I'd have to wait until I watched it to read the thread so as not to ruin any surprises.

my skimming capabilites must be diminishing.
Killer EP tonite!!
who knew? Daryl's mom was down wit VA SLiM!
...and wait a minute! i swear Andrea jus used a body double for her roll in the hay wit the Gubnah!
What a slut! I thought it was a pretty good one. liked the ending a whole lot. coulda done without the Rick phone calls. And yeah. :smoke:
Good episode.
I'm glad to see that the Woodbury/Prison storylines are beginning to merge. Though, it sucks to see that Maggie and Glen are the ones involved. They're probably the two most innocent characters in the show, IMO.
great setup episode, next week is going to be rad

Yeah, I'm really hoping Maggie doesn't go through what Michonne did in the books.
I wonder if Anndrea is going to find out about the governor's creepy walker daughter...

Great episode.
heh heh.
Finally caught up. This season rocks.
Last ep was good. Agreed that the rick phone calls were pointless. My gf and I called it by the first one that it was just Rick losing it. After all that was said and done, it seemed like Rick's mourning process was pretty quick. But hey, it's a tv show.
Also, Andrea has been my least favorite character for a while. Her slutting it up with the governor just furthers that and makes it official.

yeah, for what it was i think they did a pretty good job with the whole phone thing.
from what i heard it was actually drawn out a lot longer in the comic book, so its all good with me how they added it in.
really theyve decided to be extremely ambitious with the amount of plot being covered this season, and so far i think they are holding it together pretty dern well.
it is a very tough balancing act of --too much/not enough action; too much/ not enough plot or character development, etc etc. with this kind of show.
it seems they have learned an awful lot from the first two seasons and their approach to developing this material for the tv medium.
i'm very impressed and hopeful the writing will continue to mature and at the same time keep its edge.
so all of a sudden we're getting messages and commercials warning Verizon customers (me) that we could be losing AMC so go to so-and-so website to voice our concern. what the fuck
Great episode.
I hope that, at some point, the governor dies a slow, painful death.
Also, I had forgotten that this show splits its seasons up. It's gonna suck waiting until Feb. to see what happens after next week's episode.

is it confirmed for FEB? --i hope so. i can handle FEB, but waiting til the summer would blow.
i really wish they'd throw in 2 hour episodes for the finale or premieres too. 1 hour is NEVER enough for this show.
really curious how they're going to cram everything in next episode.
if you saw the after show they showed a great scene from next week--****SEMI-SPOILER****-- Michon coming across Penny in the dungeon!
Also, i'm trying to figure out who's gonna die next EP.
It really seems like we could see a bunch of people 'biting' it... though most likely they'll leave us with possible deaths/cliffhangers.
For some reason i have a feeling both the Gimps are going to die soon: Hershel and Merl. for no reason other than they already are half there!
there was something in the trailer at the end of the show that i couldnt quite catch, but it looked like Carl saying: " leave her behind".
--Carol? the baby?!? his girlfriend?
LEaving Carl in charge of the prison with just Carol, Hershel, the girl and the white prison dude-- talk about a set up.
They're sitting ducks.
all the big killers went on the rescue mission.
man o man o man, i CAN'T WAIT A WHOLE WEEK!!! :frustrated:

Man, that blows... probably good though since finals week is creeping up.
That was an intense episode!!!
So glad Maggie didn't get raped, had my wife in tears expecting it to go like the book. Glen is pure bad ass now too. Next week will be killer! Damn shame to have to wait three months for more though. The wait of a month between books is bad enough.

At least it's not as bad as what AMC does with Breaking Bad. We gotta wait a whole year to see the 2nd half of its current season. They might as well call them what they are, two short seasons.

They had me fooled for a minute there. I thought he was actually going to go through with it. I'm glad he didn't do it, but I'm still hoping to see him get put down like the animal he is.
What he did to her was still despicable.
He'll get what's coming to him. Gonna be a shock to old blondie, though.

Damn good episode! We are slowly finding out more about who the "Governor" really is. (Even though we already expected a lot of it) Hope we find out more about the heads in fish tanks this next episode.
Glen really stepped up and finally emerged as a badass. I bet we see that intensity remain about him.
ready, set, :samurai:
Oh shit.
Hell yeah, they brought in Tyreese! They did a great casting job with him (he was awesome in The Wire).
Pretty damn good episode! Feb 10th seems like such a long time away.

A fuckin Men.
i think i spent half the ep last night screaming at her and calling her a dumb blonde whore or something.
Pretty solid episode to end the fall on. What happened to his son?
Great episode. I'm glad they brought Tyreese in, T-Dog was a poor Man's Tyreese.
Oddly though, there is what a guy I work with called "Token Replacement" going on, a few episodes back they killed T-Dog and he was replaced in the same episode by Oscar, this episode they killed off Oscar and Tyreese is there to replace him. :|
Token is my favorite south park character. He could never be replaced. Tell your work friend that.
I thought it was a great episode but I'm going to have a hard time waiting for February to see if I'm right about what they'll do to Merle & Daryl. I suspect that the Gov. will "mercifully" spare their lives and kick them out of town.

there was somethin in the teaser for the next half of the season that i think i caught one of the prison group sayin somethin like: "we're not letting 'whoever' back in".
so either merle or andrea...
my guess is merle and and daryl somehow get out of woodbury and then return to the prison, which will allow for tension between glen/merle etc etc...
I thought the fight scene between Michonne and The Governor was the pinnacle of the season. I've said it before - Michonne's character as she is being portrayed in the series is just plain flat and uninteresting in the extreme - but I wouldn't be surprised if in 5-10 years people will still talk/write about it. A really incredible piece of choreography/writing in those couple of minutes.

Do you have an iPad or a kindle fire? I've got the whole series in digital format.
I do have an iPad. Where does one find this digital media?
So that was apretty bad ass episode. Rick is now going "off the deep end" crazy. The Walking Dixons are gonna cause some shit, (at least until Darryl has to kill Merl). And the guv'ner has a massive bone to pick with our protagonists now. The rest of this season is going to be intense!
Remember back in season two when we were stuck watching Argument Farm, yeah this is sooo much better.

The hallucinations of Rick are his heads in aquarium tanks.
Being a leader will make you crazy the writers seem to be saying.
I wish the writers would say here is what it looks like when leadership is forced on someone, and furthermore what it looks like when they get the fuck on with it.
It's not about leadership.
Leadership doesn't make you crazy. Trauma does.
Every single one of these characters has reason to batshit.

Solid ep.
Action wakes Rick up.
Glenn done fucked up. (Though what's he got in the truck?)
Hershel's gotta be pissed. He pulled out a pistol and was all "get off my lawn!"
That was a bad ass episode. Carol just can't keep a man.
Can't wait for next week.

great episode. I sure hope they helped themselves to a few of those grenades that were laying around
It looks like Rick didn't need a kick in the ass after all. He simply needed to look into a mirror before it was too late. It was the perfect way to bring back Morgan, having him serve as Rick's "mirror."
IMO, this was some of the best writing, directing, and acting (thanks to Lennie James) that we've seen on this show in a long time. Definitely my favorite episode of the season so far.

One of the walkers who tried to get into the car was Erin (according to her bracelet that said "Erin"). I guess we're supposed to assume that she's the same Erin who was addressed in the sign.
There is an Erin in the comics, but she's kind of a minor character who doesn't come into the story for a while.
Great episode.
Sorry that they had to leave Morgan behind but that was all about my expectations and not the fault of the writing.
Agreed as well. The guy who plays Morgan is a great actor, and had some of the best dialogue of the season. The traps were fucking genius.
I thought the bookending of the episode with the "hiker" was well done too.
Have they done an episode during the series which only followed two or three characters for the entire episode? I could really enjoy more of those.

I think there was a Micchone and Andrea episode earlier on.
michone def got a lil character development bump this week.
after hearing on the aftershow that in the books (i dont read) she is more of a sexually charged character and is invloved with Rick... i can see that possibly developing in the show as well.
TBH, even without having read the books i reaallly dig her character so far. most of the complaints about her are from the people that read the books and havent liked the differences, but from a tv only perspective i like her slow character development and the direction it is going so far.
...oh yeah and the actress bein mad sexy doesnt hurt. i have a soft spot for dready chicks. :wtu:
I haven't watched last nights episode yet (I have to wait for the wife to get home from work for that), but I just found out that there is going to be a Walking Dead book this year on Free Comic Book Day.

This special Walking Dead issue contains a new Tyrese short story, who made his television debut in The Walking Dead Season 3! It also reprints short stories featuring Michonne, The Governor and Morgan. This special issue is a must-have for Walking Dead fans--none of these stories will be reprinted in the trade paperbacks!
By the way, Free Comic Book Day falls on May 4th this year, 'May the fourth be with you'.
last night was the definite set up for the final 3 ep shit storm that about to hit.
gonna be fun.
i'm trying to guess who is going to die out of all of the main characters.
i mean... obviously someone has to die.
also, im really curious how this season will wrap up and then be geared into next season.
could we see a prison/fairbury (wait... is that the name of the town? lol) group merge?
will they go on the road?
where to next?
i'm really curious how this will all play out and move forward past the whole group vs group thing which actually started to devolve this week by opposing characters finding similarities between each other.
guesses on who will die?
1. governor...
2. andrea?
3. "Gaggie" -- ( Glenn/Maggie )
We still never found out what was in the truck... :frustrated:
I bet Morgan will come creeping back up to help fight. The crazy loony guy that always pops up in TV series (IE. Lost) always ends up helping out the good guys.

When Glen was driving back into the prison during the zombie bus attack from the Governor there was something in his silver truck. I believe RJ was saying something about it previously as well.

If you're talking about the same thing I'm thinking of, it was in the back of his truck when he left to go check the perimeter. I don't think he picked up anything.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I didn't catch if it was in there before he left or not, but I definitely saw it when he was pulling back up. Looked like some type of box covered by a tarp.
yeah it was the same as when he was leaving
Quote from: blatboom on March 11, 2013, 09:24:35 PM

And it's still there.
I'm thinking that it's nothing.
It they ever lift the tarp, it's just some hit-the-road-quick supplies.
It may be because the prior episode was really strong with great dialogue, but I thought the meeting between Rick and The Govenor was underwhelming.
The dialogue was flat, and although that was a pinnacle moment in the series, it lacked the requisite tension for such a moment I thought.
At any rate, looking forward to these last episodes.
Does the scientist/advisor/historian actor remind anyone of a young John Ritter? That's who he reminds me of every time he comes on screen.

I was not a fan of the last episode. The first one in a long time that I didn't like. I still don't understand why Rick wouldn't just blast the Governor's head off right there. Problem solved. Granted that puts a damper on the intended plotline. Also, Andrea is no longer the innocent girl that got duped by the bad guy. Right and wrong are pretty clear at this point and they still have her siding with the Governor. It just seemed like the writers were doing a lot of cheating in that episode. I guess we'll just see what's in store for Andrea.
I think Andrea is on a long journey.
She's lost in the wilderness,
torn between two homes.
She needs to find her path,
the safest route to carry her to where she really wants to be.
She wants to be safe,
protected,
fed
and respected.
She wants people to recognize that she can fuck shit up.
She doesn't have patience for all of this masculine dick measuring that went on in that episode.
Who does really?
That's what I didn't like about that episode, myself.
Andrea is on a mission of self and she will find that home...
on the wrong side of a bullet.
Mark my words.

Told the wife the same thing last night, albeit less poetic than RJ, but imo Andrea is done for!!! If she aint blowing the Govenor anymore, and Rick wants nothing to do with her, adios muchacha!

Well, I wanted Andrea to get killed off, but I don't want her to get "the Michone treatment"...
In related news, I just read issue #108 and think I am going to like the new character, Ezekial, and his pet tiger.
loved it, crazy that the entire episode centered around Woodbury. the scene with Andrea and the Gov in the abandoned building (I guess they're all abandoned) was $$
excited for the final 2 eps...
only seems like a few possible outcomes... id love to see a serious twist that keep us thinking where the next season will head.
personally i hope Rick gets his head out of his ass pronto. i miss the old rick.
honestly id love for them to ditch the whole 'settlement' premise that seems to have dominated each season.
like i wish we could have followed them between season 2 and 3 when they were wandering around in the cold.
i think itd be dope if they got on the road and there was a little les predictability of the environment.
I too was interested in seeing the winter survival. All we got were stories of the hordes of walkers. I wanna see that. Hiding in abandoned cars, barely escaping, all that intense shit. I have enjoyed this season, despite that.

i agree in part, but i think the final test for Rick being sane will be how he handles the Michone trade proposition.
IMO the old Rick would see that there is no good reason to even consider handing over Michone.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
Except when they do not.
I can see why he'd have at least be upset with having to make the decision but I don't see him giving her up.
I think everyone who read the books is on the edge of their seat wondering if, as things have already gone so far off the map, this will end the same way as the books? Or will it go worse for some?

i think 2nite is gonna be fun.
Never in my life have I rooted so hard for a racist drunk driver.
That was a good episode, next week is going to be great.
Even without her sword Michone is a bad ass!!
Watching the second episode (season one) tonight - part of the marathon - and I'd be very interested to see what Atlanta looks like now in the context of the show. Meryl looks really healthy with two arms.
I'm glad he found his whiskey in this latest episode.
Good episode this week.
Damn.
Great episode! cant wait for next sunday!

I sure hope not. Not because I think it would be a bad cliffhanger (matter of fact, it would probably be intense). I just don't want to see this story carry over to the next season. I'm hoping that they resolve the entire Woodbury/Prison thing and move on.
This may be premature, since the finale hasn't even aired yet, but I'd like to see next season go back on the road. Anyone else feel the same? Or do you want them to time jump to the next "safe" destination that they plan to call home? Or do you think they'll defeat the governor and continue to live at the Prison next season?
I'm hoping for a road trip, personally.

Rick's speech towards the end of the last episode came very close to McCarthy "carrying the fire" type of dialogue in
The Road.
And in that regard, if they are going on the road, I'd like to see them go to the coast.

Yeah, that's kind of my fear. It's definitely something they'll get to, I just hope they take advantage of some of the cool stuff that happens on the road in between the prison and the ASZ.

if you're talking about the comic books i have made a conscious point of not getting into them.
i like my TV W-Dead experience untainted by the preconceptions of possible plots that cross over.
plus... reading is hard.

They are graphic novels aren't they? Couldn't you just look at the pictures?
FWIW, graphic novels aren't my thing and therefore I won't be reading them, but if those of you who do read them want to bring plot points in fine by me personally. The thread doesn't have to be limited to just the show in my opinion, and any bleeding from one to the other in this thread isn't going to damage my experience of the show.

Not sure how excellent writing and art can NOT be someone's thing unless you have a problem with things that are good.
LOL.
I'm not sure how reading is hard.
But I think you are good, and I don't have a problem saying so.
never been much of a reader since i learned how to get As in school from just skimming.
its a Slimtradamous thing...you wouldnt understand. :mrgreen:
pretty damn pumped for 2nite!
as many possible scenarios as there are running through my head of how this will end, i really have zero clue whats gonna go down.
No idea how they're going to fit it all in 40 some minutes. Give us a two hour finale for crying out loud
Well, that was a pretty big letdown. :|
The one thing I really did enjoy about it is that Tyreese finally joined the group. So, that's cool. I just hope next year doesn't turn into Argument Prison.
yeah not much of a cliffhanger. would much rather see them on the run. maybe they'll do it Kesey style in the school bus next season

Well, I probably shouldn't have used such strong words. That post kinda makes it sound like I hated it, which I certainly did not. I just wanted to see the overall story move forward a bit more. That's my only beef with it. I mean, there was plenty of action and all that. It was super tense, and would have made one hell of a mid-season finale or something like that. I guess my expectations were just a bit high after that awesome finale last year.
That being said, I really am pumped that Tyreese is with the group now. Also, it'll be interesting to see how they deal with going from a small band of close friends to a large group (that's a lot of mouths to feed).
Lotta mouths and a lotta possibly useless people.
Hershel better get to planting.
Buh-bye Andrea.
I expressed disappointment at her end and my wife thought I had softened and was sad to see her go. I said, "I'm just as we didn't get to see it."
Really good episode. The thought of a crazy-ass vagabond guvna' makes me uneasy. That psychotic douche could show up anytime and cause a ruckus. Also, as much as Carl is right to not trust any of the new Woodbury transplants, that little prick is goin to cause some shit next season. I envision him killing off the new people one-by-one.
Glad Andrea is finally gone.
....... Is it October yet?

yeah... ive watched the finale 4 or 5 times now, and each time he is more annoying than the last.
the whole ".. now go" speech to Rick should have been reshot with better intonation in Carl's lines. His delivery made it sound so much worse than i think it was meant to be.
::sigh:: hopefully, hopefully we don't have to suffer through some uncomfortable prepubescent whiney fest next season focusing on him the whole time. just have to wait and see.
...on the other hand, i'm officially in Love with Beth now. i was sorta holding back because i thought she was like only 18 or 19, but in the local paper today i found out she's fromm Nebraska, went to college here in Lincoln, and graduated in 2006. so... green light, lol. :wtu:
unless she graduated college @ 12 that is. :oops:

It looks like yet another actor from The Wire will be joining the cast (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=78189).
QuoteAccording to International Digital Times, Lawrence Gilliard Jr. is in talks to join the cast of The Walking Dead in its upcoming fourth season as Roy Stark. This would mean that the actor - perhaps best known for playing D'Angelo Barksdale in The Wire - will meet up with another actor from that series, Chad Coleman (who plays Tyrese). He has also appeared in The Waterboy, Gangs of New York and Lie to Me. We first heard about the introduction of Roy Stark when it was revealed after the conclusion of season three that AMC were on the hunt for the character, who will be a series regular, described as "a former army medic who is deeply haunted by his past".

Shit looks awesome.
I kinda like that the show now feels completely divorced from the books.
Just the other day I read an interview with Kirkman, and he said this next season will follow the books more closely than any other.
I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, there's some really cool story arch's they could bring over to the TV series. But, on the other hand, if they follow the books
too closely it can become a bit too predictable for those of us who've read them.
Either way, that trailer has me pumped!
That was an awesome trailer! Some of the shots in it make me think that they are going to bring some form of the Thomas Richards storyline into the show.
For those of you who are into this kind of thing, here's the full Comic-Con panel.

so, been watching most of the marathon this week.
getting uber pumped :beerbang:
a few thoughts from rewatching the series for about the 20th time, lol:
1. this show is very good.
2. season 2 aka 'argument farm' is better than i remembered, and better than people felt at the time IMHO.
3. i hate Carl.
4. will the new season turn into "argument prison", aka 'Carl hits puberty and won't stop whining?'

It's a Tom Wait's song, but the Ramones and Hayes Carll both covered it. "I don't wanna grow up"
^ Ido believe that's what she was singing.

i dont think the actual gov is in the prison, but someone he has working for him is.
the one possibility i keep coming back to is someone, possibly that guy from the wire that is the alcoholic, that said Darryl had just picked him up a week ago, basically was a plant made by the govenor to infiltrate the prison once he realized they were taking in outsiders.

i dont think the actual gov is in the prison, but someone he has working for him is.
the one possibility i keep coming back to is someone, possibly that guy from the wire that is the alcoholic, that said Darryl had just picked him up a week ago, basically was a plant made by the govenor to infiltrate the prison once he realized they were taking in outsiders.

heh, prob doesnt hurt ive watched each of the 1st 2 EPs 4 times each already, lol
something along those lines is my best guess.

Seems to me something a child would do.
Catching rats and feeding them to walkers to draw them to and weaken the fence?
I don't think so.
A child wouldn't see the consequence of their actions. Attachment does strange things. Ask Rick.

Ha! Yeah, I'm gonna have to go on record in saying, "no way."
At first I thought that maybe the governor found a way to sneak in at night but, now that I think about it, I like Slim's idea that new guy from The Wire may be working for him.
Maybe,
maybe, it's one of those idiot kids who are giving them names, but no way it's Carl or Rick.

I def think its that guy.
1.he lost his kid. (He's pissed)
2.hes got something to prove to the gov.
3.he has been in the prison before and knows about the breech in the other wall to get inside.

Well, the look Rick gave over to animal pens when he saw the dead rats looked suspicious to me. I had completely forgotten about the governor until Slim's post. The rats just seem like such a childish act to me.

The look he gave towards the animal pen was 'these things will eat animals? Then I know how we can get them away from the fence by sacrificing my animals'. Nothing malicious in that look at all.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING IN A PRISON???!!
Seriously, though, Rick is on a journey. He lost himself for a bit.
this happens in the comic (differently but still) and he steps away from leadership and swinging his hatchet and all that. Pretty sure that is changing again for him.

How gnarly was it when he backed up and found himself rolled up on a pile of zombie mud flesh?
Also, Tyrese had his prison gym moment there.

gunna see the gov tonight? it's gotta happen soon. Shits gunna go down.
hopefully some heavy action this week! :samurai:
im really interested to see what the eventual fallout and bodycount from this whole virus thing is.
--Is it just me or does it seem like there is some sort of contamination--link with the water supply?
maybe i just made that up...
really interesting episode last night.
some serious writing going on.
i caught so many little theme nuggets after the 2nd and 3rd time i watched it.
the title of the ep.: "indifference" really said it all.
--the opening scene was trippy as heck with the girl's speech seeming to reflect Carol's thoughts.
--then the watch allusion to Dale's story from season one.
--so many characters changing perspectives... daryl, michone...
...shit was deep.
i highly recommend multiple screenings for this one to pick up on everything.
Is there anyway we can look at the credits for the whole season and see if the governor is on there?

They confirmed that he's coming back, if that's what you're worried about. But, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't release his name in the credits of upcoming episodes. They clearly want that to remain a surprise.

the governor reminds me of the Russian. maybe its the eye patch. :wink:
Really enjoyed the Rick/Carol parts of the episode last night. Some of the best dialogue of the season so far between those two I thought.
Wasn't as bowled over with the Tyrese/Michone line. They are all carrying weight, I get it. Overstated, I guess. However, they ate up the screen time thus not having to suffer Carl, so everything has a silver lining I guess.
Weird that the people at the school, seven hours away, died of the same illness now found at the prison. It's almost like someone carried the bug from one place to another. Like maybe someone who is immune but has seen two groups die before him...
school?
Quote from: blatboom on November 05, 2013, 09:02:54 AM

The place where they copped the drugs this week was a veterinary college which is a type of school.
Quote from: rowjimmy on November 05, 2013, 05:50:10 AM
It's almost like someone carried the bug from one place to another.
Or its a common disease carrier like mosquitoes, fleas, etc... Considering the level of hygiene (constantly showered by rotting corpse blood) and the use of rats (as zombie bait), its feasible that the flu is not "sinister" in anyway, just incredibly inconvenient...

I agree with RJ here. First, I didn't see him grab a bottle at any point except for in that store towards the beginning of the season. Did I miss something? Second, he is too fishy to not be up to something. Third, Carol and governor show down in the woods or will Carol recruit followers from the prison and the main conflict this season is a confederacy issue? ( I know that is borderline improper use of the word "confederacy" but you get my point. I had a 30 minute presentation this morning, my brain is toast.)
Quote from: rowjimmy on November 05, 2013, 10:35:33 AM

I thought the exact same thing.
And I like your theory that he is the plague bearer, but immune to the actual effects of the plague.
As for Carol, I think she'll show up down the road as a bad-ass big-bad. I could see her becoming the main antagonist in a future season.
Now with Carol gone the only ones left from the original group from season one are Rick, Carl and Glen (who seems to have the plague). I forgot that Daryl came in season one also.
I'm worried that Carol has slipped too far into the detachment of a psychopath but I don't think they'll make her a big bad.
If anything, I bet she finds redemption.

I think she will run, then double back for her kin... then find the guvna, and kill him, redeeming herself to the Group...
She'll go back after finding a new place for the survivors of The Flu...

So hes definitely been perving the prison for a while now. And he def has a part in the rats. I still think it's the guy who lost his wife and his son was shot by carl, but hes def working for him, possibly in the prison still.
Gov'nah!!! Last night's episode was awesome. I think I'm going to go back and re-watch it this week before next Sunday, make sure I didn't miss anything.

Picked up #116 today. Two weeks can't pass fast enough, I need the next issue now.
Why can't anyone just do what Rick tells them to do?
interesting episode. Govs new state of being seems almost like rick was in the beginning.
A lot of last nights story line came from the book "The Rise Of The Govenor." In the book he met this family way before he became the Gov unlike last nights episode but much of the family was the same with the sick dad, him hooking up with the daughter, etc etc.
I need to go back and check, but I'm pretty sure that conversation at the beginning of the episode was with Carol

that's what I thought! which got me to wondering did Carol and the Governor ever cross paths at Woodbury?
I thought it was definitely her voice.
Couple other thoughts:
Why didn't the zombie chick straight burst into flames when walking through the fire? That would have been fucking awesome. Opportunity = missed.
Doesn't the bearded Gov look a bit like Captain Ron?
(http://ilarge.listal.com/image/4549967/968full-captain-ron-screenshot.jpg)
I just rewatched the beginning again, that's not Carol. He's talking to two women and it's the two women he meets later he's talking to.

That was another really good episode, I think I liked the first guv'ner episode better though. This one did show you how sadistically crazy he is.
Kill your friend because he wants you to help him lead, and you don't want to.
Kill the new leader because you now want to lead, even though he asked you to help him lead.
Next week is going to be tension filled.
I think he killed them both because both of them asked him to HELP them lead. Gov is no co-leader. He wants the entire crown. He's fine being the leader but the gov answers to no man.
Regardless the he is batshit crazy.
I've been avoiding this thread since Sunday, but I finally got to watch the new episode. I need to re-watch because I'm confused... It showed them driving away > get stopped by all the muddy walkers > back in camp... Did they turn around or what?

That was amazing.

Let's just say that their departure from the prison was akin to theirs in the comic...
The whole scene was fresh and different from the book but it was nice to see the nod back to the source, especially with that last shot of Rick & Carl.
Awesome gif is spoilery.
(http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/fargone2.gif)
Finally got around to watching it late last night & woah! :clap: I hope we don't have a situation where chick missed when shooting Gov'nah in the head and he comes back and blah blah blah. I don't know about y'all but I'm ready for the story to move on from him and a new "nemesis" enter the scenario. I haven't read any of the written material regarding the show so I have no clue where it's going next but I'm excited for it.
My assumptions for the future: Carol will return via running into someone, Rick and Carl will probably go on their own for a bit & have some father-son character building, the bus will be the first to get into shit, & Darryl will finally get a "mate".
The Gov is definitely dead and probably bit coming back.

If you think you said something different than I, you misunderstood me.
The Governor was not going to survive the wound Michonne gave him. She didn't feel he deserved the mercy of a quick death or not returning as a walker.
It could almost be said that Lilly was more merciful.

I thought the wound Michonne looked fatal (it was through the heart). I was just making sure, I need to go back and watch the episode over again to make sure I didn't miss anybody getting killed/fleeing.

Watched last night - killer episode! It might be my fav of the series.
Seriously considering reading the series now.
after seeing this thread a few weeks back I started watching. Season 3 right now, needs to catch up quick. Didn't think I would like it at first, yes, its a drug.
This post contains spoilers of both the comic (up to roughly were things stand in ther show) and the show up to date.
Great interview with Kirkman about the mid-season finale and the upcoming remainder of Season four.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=49611
Also, here's a clip shown during Talking Dead after the Finale that, if you didn't see it you may want to. this is from Ep. 9 and it's straight out of the comics...
http://youtu.be/evW73VuEoz0
Damn, that is straight from the comics, except for Carl looking so much older.
I have a feeling Walking Dead is going to run into the same problem Lost did, in that they have a child star who ages faster than the show. They are going to have to start explaining bigger and bigger gaps of time to account for how much older Carl looks.

TONIGHT MOFOS!
Not a bad episode back. I missed the first 2~3 minutes of the episode. Carl is such a brat.
Only one post?
Solid episode. Michonne stuff was great. She really got her wallow on and joined a herd for a minute!
Carl was solid and straight pissed at Rick. Really pushed the kid to the edge of his acting chops, too.
A lot of that was straight out of the comic, or at least so much closer than most of the first half of the season that it bears noting.
I bet that pudding was awesome.
Great episode.
I was sitting on the couch hitting my vape and when the flashback scene with Micchone and her 'pets' came on after the commercial break I completely forgot what we were watching. She didn't even look the same.
Fingers crossed the piece of shit known as Carl dies a slow and painful death tonight.
Barring that, I'll settle for a Carl free episode this evening. Which based on the interview with Kirkman RJ linked above (thanks!), I am assuming we will get.
You got your wish about the Carl free episode!! I have a feeling that when Maggie sees Tara for the first time she might lose her shit. Tara is super hot, especially on the Talking Dead tonight. :mrgreen:

Haha, for real.
But for Michonne, I thought it was very interesting in that scene where she is with the herd and she kind of wakes up. Great back story for her and great moment of what seemed to be an awakening after the shock of what happened at the prison.
Latest episode was good. Great set up of things to come! Can't wait to see what's up with this new group of people, as well as Terminus.
Shit yeah, great episode!
Abraham!

Totally, I've been enjoying this half is the season so far. Having things shaken up and on the road has been interesting.
I've got a bad feeling about this Terminus.
For those who haven't read the comic, this is not something that is in the comics. At least, not by that name.

condolences.
thoughts on tonites ep:
a. rosalita (?) --hawt.
b. def enjoyed the home invasion section. great tension.
show is still 110% on point for me.
i can understand some folks not feeling things as much this year--something brought up i heard was that getting into this season most viewers have desensitized to the zombie killing which has dulled the action aspect a bit.
though for me it hasnt really changed anything since i never really cared about any gore/horror aspect of the show.
the drama/ writing i think is as good if not better than its ever been.
the one issue i personally have i guess is that i find the stories are tough to get into with the hour long format. im pretty sure id enjoy the seasons more if i could watch 2-3 at a time. but theres no way im going to wait and stack up to do that
I thought both Prometheus and Oblivion were great
But I seem to love most space/alien sci fi flicks
This is the wrong thread for this however
:sbw:

lol, nice, thanks for pointing that out., smh.
i guess im should probably go back into posting retirement since getting no more than 3 hours a sleep a nite for the last 4 years is starting to wear on me.
loved tonight's episode. my favorite in awhile...
... EXCEPT the awkwardly thrown in song at the very end of the episode when they burned the house down i thought was contrived.
I kept thinking Beth was going to make a move.. :mrgreen:

Hell, I thought that's what the booze and drinking game was all about. She'd like a little Darryl Dixin'. :sbw:
Beth is about 17, irrc.
But I kinda was afraid things would go there for a moment.
I'm curious about how long the Glenn/Maggie suspense will be kept up.
Overall, good ep. Keep 'em coming.
One last thing:
This made me LOL

condolences.
I also agree with your comments 'slim re the zombie violence and the audience losing interest as they become accustomed to it.
Thing is, Walking Dead has never been just about zombies.
Everyone on the screen (or page, in the case of the comic) is the Walking Dead. The show is about the people.
the actress that plays Beth is actually about 25.
i'm fairly sure they've never given any hints to her character's age though.

I was speaking about the character.
And I know from the comics that she's a minor.

k, comics vs. tv show.
id say in the tv show from the hints we've gotten about beth's past and the time elapsed from when she fiurst showed up that she is about 21 currently.
in fact i thinkn the whole "1st drink" theme in that episode was a 21st birthday reference in a way.
FWIW the actress was born in 85,,,
anyway,
tonite's ep. turning out alot better than the last few imo.
i was startin to see TWatts discontent with teh last few.
theres still alot of good stuff goin on, but im not a fan of some of the editing or direction this year.
their always changing directors and editors from year to year and episode to episode, so its hard to judge sometimes.
i dunno, but tonights episode is intense with crazy whatzherface. :shakehead:
What in the fuck?
:crazy:
yeah, gripping stuff tonight.
i love tyrese's character currently.
only 2 eps to go now, i guess next season will be full on "terminus"
:;SPOILER::
...sad to see Mikah go, she had a lil hippy chick in her. :cry:
Also.

Quote from: rowjimmy on March 08, 2014, 12:32:15 AM
The show is about the people.
I would probably have a greater appreciation of the show if:
1. I wasn't freekin' terrified of zombies.
2. I had read the comics.
But point taken...
I'll end up picking the show back up once it get much further along... I got through the end of the last season, I'll want to see how it all ends...

He's had some time only a week or two tops) and some intervening events that cast his loss in a new light.
I think that had Carol told him earlier in the episode he would have killed her dead.

Agreed that the whole thing with the kids certainly changed the way he would look at things I was only half-serious, but if someone confessed the same thing to me, I don't think the first words that I would utter in response would be "I forgive you". Maybe I'm just a dick. :-P

As soon as that scene with him watching Carol do her thing happened, you knew she was going to tell him.
Thoughts?
Having been a big Steinbeck fan as a teenager I saw that Of Mice and Men ending coming a few weeks ago, they had been laying the groundwork for this episode for some time.
And good call, RJ, seeing this as the twins storyline. I hadn't made that connection yet.
i think beth might get killed here soon...
or maybe i just needed an excuse to post her picture again.
So... what happened to the baby? Tyrese and Carol were by themselves when they were walking away at the very end.. No baby in tow?? :? Did I miss something? Thought she only killed the sister.

They made a baby carrier that Tyreese was wearing on his back. If you take a look at that scene again and look close, you'll notice it. I missed it at first, too.

Ah, okay.
looks like we're headed for a major season ending cliff hanger. waaay too much random bs to wrap up.
not even sure if anyone is going to get killed off, but hopefully the lesbian. she's lame. i can't even ever remember her name she's so forgetable.
Rosalita on the other hand i def cant forget. SLim's got a weak spot for pig tails.
ETA-- wtf is up with every ep this half season ending in a stupid song?
TBh i think this half season sorta went a lil soft/mainstream... i also have been noticing some of the survivors seem started having hair looking like they just walked out of the salon. thats something CW does, not W DEAd. :shakehead:
im willing to overlook it for now since each season has a different producer or whatever. hopefully next season will get some of the edge back with a new person in charge.
I've said it since they first mentioned it: Terminus is cannibals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Barbie
After the German conquest and occupation of the Netherlands, Barbie was assigned to Amsterdam. In 1942 he was sent to Dijon, France in the Occupied Zone. In November of the same year, at the age of 29, he was assigned to Lyon as the head of the local Gestapo.
He established his headquarters at the Hotel Terminus in Lyon, where he personally tortured prisoners: men, women, and children alike,[3][4][5] breaking extremities, using electroshock, and sexually abusing them (including with dogs), among other methods. He became known as the "Butcher of Lyon".[6] In Marcel Ophuls's Oscar-winning documentary film Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie, the daughter of a French Resistance leader based in Lyon recounts her father's torture by Barbie her father was beaten, skinned alive and his head was put in a bucket of ammonia; he died shortly after.
I also like the plot developing between Daryll's "buddies" and Rick.
Should be quality.
Of course all Rick has to say was that he claimed that house.

nice research.
dam, didnt think about canibals til yall mentioned it. eww.
sounds about right thought :-(
i can def see the producers looking for something with major shock value since everyone has become very desynthesitized to the zombie stuff
Cannibals have arisen in both the comics and in season one of the Walking Dead game from Telltale Games.
Anybody else played that, btw?
So good.
I'm enjoying 'season two' quite a bit as well.

Season one was good. I haven't started season 2 yet.
I bet they took Beth too and are gonna try to feed her to the group.
I never considered it to be a utopia as the characters thought, but cannibalism? Damn.

Tasty! Slow braised cheeks from some obese person would be delish!
Grow tasty meat from celebrity DNA!
http://bitelabs.org
Interesting... It is in no way the utopia the characters believe it to be, I'm not that naive. However, I never thought of the cannibalistic approach. That seems pretty plausible, IMO. I hope they don't try to feed them, Beth. That would just be too much & she's too hot to waste like that.
The trailer at the end for next week's finale.....definitely a torture theme in there. Also, I agree with RJ about the plot developing between Darryl's new "crew" and Rick. Can't wait to see what happen there. LOL @ the "claim" philosophy.

after mullin over the cannibal thing a bit im going to say no for now.
it just doesnt make sense to me at this point for a # of reasons.
a. we're not far enough into the post apocolypse for people to be that desperate for food.
b. you might find one or two weirdos into it jus b/c, but a whole encampment right in the middle of GA? all of sudden previous 'normal' rural americans turning cannibals? seems like a stretch.
c. just thinking about the advertisements:
"those who arrive survive"
"shelter for all, community for all"--- sounds more like a hippy cult than cannibals to me.
id wager more on the side of some religious-type cult with a wacko leader then a bunch of people soley into eating people for eating peoples sake.
one thing im pretty sure of though is that we're not going to find out that much next week.
everything has been pointing to a major cliffhanger.
in fact i'd say this half season has been pretty much one big setup for a cliffhanger.
its one of the reasons i sorta think its been the weakest of the series.
in reality the only thing that has happened story wise has been a bunch of wandering down train tracks...

I agree that it's a cult. That eats people. How many animals do you think they would have to have to sustain the numbers that they claim they can shelter? The ones that don't get brainwashed are rump roast.

i guess i should say i just dont find it very believable personally, but i definitely could see the writers doing it since i sorta think the show has started to struggle somewhat to keep things interesting.
also, i was thinking one more thing that might be a tip/foreshadowing for in fact a cannibalistic storyline would be the multiple food shortage references over the last season since the prison starting with--
the pigs dying...
'Solomon's' squirel
the last candy bar
the two cans of food/ Tara not eating... etc etc :?

It's been a year hasn't it? They've come through a winter and the walkers were eating livestock from the time of Argument Farm.
Canned food won't have spoiled but it's surely getting sparse.
Hunting isn't easy for some folks to learn and why hunt when your meals just walk on into your camp.
Protein is important.

totally, just the way i personally envision a progression of the apocaplyse (...which i cant spell, lol) it takes a lot longer to get to the cannabalism stage.
i honestly dont believe people just up and decide" o, its hard to find food today, lets start eating each other"
in most post apocalyptic stories there is alot longer decline of civilization or some other factors that cause a much lwoer standard of behavior before people really get to that point of abandoning all morals or whatever.
just my opinion, and it wouldnt ruin the believability of the show for me probably, but i also think at this point it just would seem a tad contrived. at least for such a large organized group/
To be fair, we have no info as to the size of the group at Terminus...
think the point is more that these circumstances bring things out in people that might not surface otherwise. the weak grow strong, the strong go insane, a few realize peeps be tasting good. hell half of you are probs cannibals and don't even know it :-o :-o :-o :-o

I am hearing from (disparate) people at work this is a settlement of cannibals. That they and some of the paug would have the same opinion on the matter leads me to believe this is likely. I would think a place which needs to advertise itself as safe is most likely not.
The zombies seeking human flesh, the unturned resorting to eating human flesh, it has a nice symmetry to it from a writing perspective. Blurs the lines, etc...
Did the group with Daryl get a look at Rick? Would they recognize him? I'd have to go back and see that ep again, but I thought the only one who could ID him at this point was dead.
Whatever the case, they won't outdo in this finale what they did in the Lizzie ep, I was and am very impressed with what they were able to accomplish there.

Alright, that sounds familiar. I have been happy with the minimal Carl exposure this half season. haven't missed him in the least, although with all the child killing this half season, I am saddened it means he is safe for awhile I would assume.
a lot of this terminus talk is latent comic book spoiler stuff and props to RJ and the rest for keeping that out of here best they can
The guy who saw Rick is the one who spied him under the bed while getting put down via a sleeper hold.
ya there's no way that's not gonna be a thing
outside of speculation about termm, which i think wont even really all be disclosed, the real question for next week is if someone is gonna die.
im not seeing anyone getting axed, but there are a few that sorta have had enough of the usual emotional setup that its not out of the realm of possible:
my #1 would be Tara, which im all for... she finished her stupid mission now she can go thank you.
and then unfortunately Beth is probably next in line if i had to pick one, but it jus doesnt feel like they have really built anything up enough to do away with her jus yet. though it might work to get daryl all fucked up... :cry:
other than that i cant see anything in the works really.
I agree with those two, J. I'm also going to say Daryl will get caught in the crossfire between the hunters and Rick and get killed. Sorry to all the ladies who want to bear his children.
I doubt they'll kill off Darryl. He's been the runaway success on this show. With his character not being in the books he brings an element of the unknown to those of us who read it.
seriously my only real gripe with this 'half' season is the ciche dumb ass outros with catchy tunes.
its like they knew everyone loved that one time with the tom waits song and ever since its some variation now. :shakehead:
i cant wait until nex season and a new producer/director or whichever is teh one that changes each time. :samurai:
/end rant.
have the WD marathon on in the background.
funny i actually love some of teh songs they put in the show, i jus think they played it out too much.
this ep right now called
"internment" where everyone is sick @ the prison there is some song i dig but dont know who sings it. sounds almost like Tracy chapman... :|

i knew it as soon as rick bit that guys neck
fuckingcliffhanger,
ack! gonna be brutal waiting til the fall.
A+ finale though.
really blown away over here :clap:
I was just about to say Rick has become totally soft then........BOOM!!! Rick is fucking back!!!!
question:
were there any clues what happened to Beth??
all we know is she was thrown in a car and driven off, right?
great post show btw with RiCK
Fucking shit.
walking the playback, just realized the best part of season 5 is going to be killing all these friggin terminus HIPSTERS! :samurai:
i bet they wear tiny hats when they have their cannibal rituals.
just caught something new watching the ep again:
when they are being herded/chased through the compound after they exit the candle room and go outside they run past a bunch of stacked train cars and you can here a bunch of people faintly screaming for help.
so they have alot more people in train cars besides the one they end up in with Glen and them

I caught the last 10-15 minutes of that last night. Yes, he did say there would be a lot more of Rick next season.
there were a few hints in the finale as well i thought were foreshadowing a romantic relationship happening with Michone and Rick in the near future.

Assuming that isn't directly proportional to Carl having more in the story, I am all for it.

carl may be a bratty teen , but they all are. I still think carl is great, and honestly has had some of the most badass kill scenes throughout the show.

good call :clap:
I'm going to make the assumption that you all saw what looked like to be human ribcages piled up on the ground in a scene that they were trying to escape.
Excellent shit this week.
The early fight scene harkened back to one on the road in the books when Carl was placed in similar danger and Rick and (Tyrese?) go medieval on some thugs.
Totally called this Terminus shit.
Of course they have other prisoners... Can't kill 'em cos the meat spoils too quick.
I basically said Rick's final line about a minute before he did.
After they kill up these cannibal hipsters, I hope they find a van and become the zombie apocalypse version of the A-Team.

^^this.
sounds about right.
i have a pretty good feeling about next year after the producer dropped some hints about it being sorta action packed.
i just hope the whole season isnt spent listening to that dumbass Gavin(th?) or whatever.
i wanted to punch him in the face half way through his first line.
i half expected him to tweet about the whole chase in real time :roll:
Dude's name was Gareth.
(http://media.comicbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/terminus-painting.jpg)
where was that?
Painting was in the house that Michonne & Carl cleared out while Rick was under the bed.
nice.

Yeah, less talk than I expected, too. Maybe the regulars in this thread just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Anyhow, I fully agree with you. One of my all time favorite episodes (maybe my favorite season opener, as well!).
The trough scene was not only gut-wrenching but, perhaps, the most twisted display of violence I've ever seen on basic cable. The action was pretty non-stop all throughout. Carol was quite badass, too!
Can't wait for next week!
That was pretty awesome. Watched it last night and damn.
Def. One of the better eps in a long time. The trough sequence was brutal and the props in the next room were simply brutal. They made the gory, messy, zombie corpses seem tame.
Good to see things tie up in that episode rather than languish for weeks...
So much for this season taking place at Terminus....
Also, in case anyone missed it, they mentioned on Talking Dead that the first one to get it at the trough was Sam from last season. The one Rick gave his watch to (along with Sam's girlfriend) so they would know when to meet up but he never showed up (she got killed by walkers). Great episode!
Think carol scooped up that watch with Darrell's crossbow, too.
Carol kicks ass.

I definitely called bullshit on that but followed up with, "but it makes for bad ass tv so, fuck it."
A great start, to be sure. The Morgan teaser at the end was awesome, taboot. I doubt that is the last we see of Gareth, and am I the only one who is bummed that Michonne didn't get her sword back?

Agree with all of the above. One of the best episodes in quite some time. I was surprised to see them leave Terminus so quickly. I expected them to be there for a few episodes at least. I haven't finished reading the series so I'm not sure how that compares. I'm about halfway through Compendium 2.
And yes, Carol kicks ass!
That was a bad-ass episode. Carol kicked ass.
And seeing Morgan show up after the credits was the cherry on the ice cream. I've been hoping he would show up again.
Didn't watch the credits!
Gonna have to go check that shit out.

Finally watched tonight and came to post this.
Glad those dumb hipsters got what was coming. I am kinda drunk and got kinda loud and almost shed a tear when Rick and Carl finally saw Judith. Oh and fucking Morgan! :crazy:
Best season opener in years.

Lo-key episode until the last 5 minutes.
most disturbing scene yet, wonder if they plan to top it somehow
Was anyone else confused by Eugene's 'explanation' for how he is the key to saving mankind? (from ep 1 and 2)
. I watched his speech about the human genome project etc. like 5 times and i still don't think he explained shit.
Is he saying that the Zombie apocalypse was a biological terrorist act or something?
...or how is he saying he can just 'flip a switch' or whatever and it's all over?

You are wrong my friend. Dude most definitely knows how to rock a bitchin mullet.
That was a great, dialogue-fuled, episode. When I saw in the credits that Robert Kirkman himself wrote the episode I knew it would be good.
And about Eugene.... I've read the books so I'm not sayin' shit.
Strong episode.
We are very close to by the book with current events on this one. As close as they could get given that certain people are already dead and stuff like that.
Can't wait for next week.
Eugene is a douche
Finally got caught up, I don't trust the church guy at all but I think that's a given. He definitely locked people out of the church after telling them to assemble supplies or something along those lines.
I missed, Morgan! I'll have to go back and re-watch the credits.

So who is with Darryl if its not Beth? He said, "y'all come out" so it could be Carol, Morgan, ???

I was thinkin it was one or all of them, but i think maybe theyll do a whole beth flashback next ep that leads up to that point.
one thing i thought originally after the 1st ep. was that the markers on the tree that Morgan was following were a cross in a circle, similar to the mark of the cars that took her.
i wonder if Glen and Maggie are really going to split off the main group.
i'm sorta surprised Maggie isn't thinking about whether Beth is alive or dead in the first place.
this season is so good. :crazy:
Good tension builder. I re watched some of season 3 recently...there was some really bad acting and I'm so glad ricks crazy bitch wife is dead.
Im not trusting anyone anymore on this show, if their not in the group, fuck em..

Red herring, maybe? You can't leave a cliffhanger from an two episodes before the finale...
That'd be bullshit.
Worse.
Nice Dukes of Hazzard style bus crash with the SUV that magically turns into a ramp.
I thought this was the worst ep of the season. Tennessee tophat was my personal highlight.
i like NOah.
i hope they go to Richmond!
Good backstory reveal for Abraham, though.
Eugene too.
I did enjoy the camera work for Abrahams flashbacks...just felt really dark and depressing. That angle right before Eugene showed up was gripping camerawork.
Meh. on this weeks episode, but it did reveal a bit about the characters for those unfamiliar with the books. And even for those of us that have read them Abraham's back story was new.

He tells Rick when they are on the side trip to Rick's hometown. It's after the ambush in which Rick goes medieval on some dudes that threaten to rape Carl.

The road trip home
Rick getting medieval

Yeah, definitely interesting how they broke that all up.
Speaking of the comics...do you think the show will get caught up eventually? I haven't read past issue 100 yet, and it's been forever since I read them all. But, it seems like they're getting kinda close. I've been thinking that's why they're doing this whole "split the group up" thing. Maybe to kill some time so they don't get too close too soon.
So, we have two episodes left. (Correct?) I guess we won't figure out who is with Darryl at the church until the very last episode. I'm assuming its all three of them. However, I can see the WD writers killing off Carol or Beth just for the drama. I felt like nobody has really died yet this season.

They were all spread out in the show yet happened in a single arc in the comic.
Yeah, definitely interesting how they broke that all up.
Speaking of the comics...do you think the show will get caught up eventually? I haven't read past issue 100 yet, and it's been forever since I read them all. But, it seems like they're getting kinda close. I've been thinking that's why they're doing this whole "split the group up" thing. Maybe to kill some time so they don't get too close too soon.
Dude. Get reading. I have no worries.
Get reading.
Cool ep this week. We're almost caught up next week is gonna kick ass.
getting the feeling that Carol might bite it soon.

Never gonna happen. At least, not before she righteously kicks some more ass and bones Daryl.

Well then......
Needless to say, wifey and daughter were not impressed.
:cry:
Nebraska is not happy.
Up till then, the episode was pretty great.
Nice to see Morgan again, again.

Here's the scene shown after the credits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWHs2VIPTeo
Beth had become peripheral. Which leads me to the question, if this was the point, and it definitely caught me off guard I will admit, why use the limited time telling this story following her at the hospital? Perhaps something more/different occurs with Beth's character in the comics and they needed to play with some of that, but at the end of the day we have the same group of people moving back in to the city, leaving with what they started with. Arguably less in terms of Beth being a small part of the overall organism, and Carol not fully functioning at this point. How does this line drive Carol? Or Daryl? Hardened characters become more hardened by this loss? Is there narrative value in that?
I very much liked the character of Rick in the last episode. Probably his strongest of the entire season. "Just shut up". Goddamn right.
I also continue to be bitter with this winter break bullshit AMC pulls with their series. I can't be alone in that.

I'm not sure why they spent so much time with this arc, to be honest. I certainly don't remember anything like it in the comics. Maybe it is, like you said, something that will affect the rest of the crew in the long run. I don't like them splitting the season up either, but I get it. Holidays, playoffs coming up ( not for my team), etc.
The tease was better than the episode!
S/b
I think this is what cements the group larger together and sets them on the road north, despite learning Mullet's truth.
I'm glad to see Beth go, though. Sorry Joel.

My assessment exactly. I figured with both Beth and Carol in the hospital that one of them wasn't going to survive and makes more sense for Beth to take the dirt nap. Honestly, couldn't care less that she is gone.
locked and loaded.
let the pre-season marathon begin!
Strugglin' Man kickdown
One of the best episodes of recent memory. (Cue PHISH IS FUCKING BACK thread!) but frealz...cinematic angles, effects with affect, flashbacks (they always brighten my day!), kinda bogged for 4 minutes, and drew on the ole heart strings. With zombies and gore, taboot! :wtu:
Damn, one after another.
But that was a great episode.
Slow-mo walker blasting was awesome.
I would like to never hear her sing that song again, tho.
Weird episode but great. It certainly stands as the most hallucinogenic of the series. We've never really gotten into the delirium of a person whose been bitten on the show. It marked a distinct stylistic shift but, once it was revealed as his visions, I felt comfortable that the show would shift back to normal next time.
Wtf with the half-walkers?
Did someone not know how to kill them?
Anyone thinking that the next 100 miles is going to take as long as a Sunday afternoon in the Summer? thats a LONG 100 miles in poor conditions. Plus, population (walker) densities go up fast.
First episode I've seen in a long time (as hard as I try I still can't get over how much the show differs from the books...cue hate, I know) and I'm nowhere near caught up but watched anyway because they were showing it for free at a movie theatre near my house and HOLY DAMN was it awesome.
Should you get the opportunity to watch TWD on a big ass screen, DO IT!!!
As rj said, the slow motion shots of the zombies getting their heads chopped off was awesome. Also, after watching the marathon that preceded this mid-season opener, I love how grizzly everyone has become. It seems very authentic and it adds a lot to their story.
Are you guys still keeping up on the books? After All Out War, I took a few months off and I have spent the past two days catching up.
Possible Spoilers below
The Lydia/Carl scene at the end of the latest issue sent creepy chills down my spine. It was the third moment so far in the series that made me cringe, but the first to do so and not be outrageously violent. And those Ed Gein whisperers are a crazy twist, not to far off from how Michonne survived but definitely a bit more gruesome.
I spent my day off getting caught up this morning on the last two week's episodes. What do y'all think of the guy who walked up at the end? He's definitely the guy who left the water: "I'm a friend". How did he know Rick's name though? Also, he's way too clean...Dude looks like he's straight out of an Eddie Bauer catalog.

And his emerging from the woods was pretty spot-on to the books, aside from the characters he
came out to.

They have stated in interviews that the Morgan scene takes place 'Months after' the other events in that episode. As you can tell by the vines growing over the Terminus sign. They've also said that they have 'big plans' for Morgan. We'll see him again.

oof that last ep
just watched the EP again.
great ep. imho. im excited to see where things are going now.
seems like we've moved into a whole new story, but more what the story will be like for awhile.
thought the direction from Darabont was great... wait,,, he got fired back in season 1? but he did this ep? i dunno.
anyway... good ep, but im not sure how many tornados youd actually see around Row jims town.

Darabont get's credited as a writer/created by every episode but actually hasn't work on the show in years. Just as Tony Moore is credited on the show and the comics, but he only drew the first six issues.

right on.
i know they'd been rotating directors for each episode since like season 2, and i thought i saw his name specifically credited as the director for that episode. i probably just misinterpreted the credits or something.
...
SO, last night was fantastic!
i'm super on edge to see what all happens in Alexandria.
I'm glad i havent read any of the comics.
I doubt i''d get as excited from week to week if i i wasn't completely in the blind.
VA DEAD! :syf:
Well I have no idea what to expect here other than since it is TWD & is on TV that something dramatic happens. Either the town is perfect and they go under attack or they are a bunch of weirdos... Maybe a character will return from previous seasons. where the fuck is Morgan? is he going to save them.
just started this series the past weekend.
On the 2nd season now.
Its been entertaining.

Darabont's departure was less than friendly and not entirely mutual. He bailed after they refused him the ginormous budget he requested. They then subsequently killed off several of the actors who took the job strictly because their friend Frank was the show runner. That's why Dale's run ended so early.
That said, Darabont appears in the credits each week as "Developed By Frank Darabont" which is a nice way of acknowledging that he got it to television but isn't remotely involved at this time.

Good episode this week. Don't know about that road they were on with the view of the Washington Monument, though. I LOL'd at that. Also the apparent wilderness that seems to surround DC and "Alexandria". They handled it with more accuracy in the comics but that's I'll I say about the comics.
Looking forward to seeing how this shakes out.

I couldn't agree more. I have no idea how I feel about this town. If they are legit then the story has to be that they go under siege.
Good episode for sure.
Groundwork is being laid out for some business.
Yup. They're finally approaching the last issues I've read. ROTC Fratboy McDouche wasn't in the books, but goddam did he earn that shiner. Good for Glen.
New walking dead spin-off will be coming late this summer. Reportedly takes place in Los Angeles and chronicles what went down in the very beginning of the outbreak of zombies.
I personally think it will be really cool, as Robert Kirkman co-wrote the pilot and will be executive producing the spin-off.

Quote"From the beginning of 'The Walking Dead' on AMC, we've been asked questions about what was going on in other parts of the zombie apocalypse, and what it looked like as the world really did turn. Through this new series, we're going to find out."
No chatter on this week's episode?
I thought it was interesting laying to groundwork for future trouble with the locals.
Carol, dudes. Damn.
GBL, love the sound of that. Will def watch.
And yes, fucking Carol. I'm so ready for the shit to hit the fan and wake these pussies up to the reality of the situation. Drink in wine and eating cookies in a zombie apocalypse? Get the fuck out.
This week was good. Even though they were pretty slow, I really liked the Darryl and Aaron scenes.
The only thing that bothered me was that last scene where Rick grabbed for his gun both while watching Jessie and her husband walking and then when he hears the walker outside the wall. He was wearing his gun on his hip in it's holster, yet he reached for the gun tucked into his waist that he was supposed to be hiding. Why not just reach for the gun that he's wearing in plain sight instead of the one that is supposed to be a secret?

wow. really? i dont know how to feel about this, but my initial reaction is- more is better.
Worst episode of the season yet. Yeah there was two minutes of creepy carol but besides that I literally fell asleep. Didnt Andrew Lincoln say this second half of the season is "fucking nuts"? I like the fact that they are becoming the "bad guys" in this town its a really different perspective. Only three episodes left
epic episode.
i love this season.
fantastic story arc.

seriously i'm watching it for 2nd time and i'm sorta surprised Glenn didnt shoot nicholas in the head immeditately after noah died b/c of him
Ps: WTF Gabriel? what an idiot.
they way they took Noah out was gnar. just when I was getting desensitized to regulars getting clipped
Amazing episode. The gore, the story, fuckin eugene, Carol and Abraham all brought it too! Pumped for the remaining episodes.
So, I work for a real estate investor...today we mailed a contract to a dude named Daryl Dixon...oh and his wife's name is Beth (certainly not canon but I got a pretty good lol out of it anyway)
Busy work week and we just watched this weeks episode last night, great episode, but definitely the most gratuitous in a while. Both Aidan and Noah's deaths were extra gory.
In the scenes from next weeks episode they showed four graves, I'm wondering who the extra two were for? There's Noah, Aidan, possibly Tara and then who? The drunken wife-beater? Father Gabriel (I know I'd kill him after that)?
Total nut punch at the end there; I don't know what to expect next week.
Holy fuckballs :samurai:

some people were theorizing it was M upside down for Morgan.
that doesnt make any sense though.
i thought i heard it was something from teh books about the "Wolves". i dunno since i don't read them, but in the show i thought there was something written on a wall @ noah's about wolves are coming or something like that.
glad the finale is 90 minutes.
should be pretty good.
they have 1 surprise cast member next week on the after show, so i'm assuming we'll have a major death.
Great episode.
There are no 'Wolves' in the book, but they could be renaming one of the groups from the book. One group that comes to mind is led by a guy who is f@#king vulgar as f@#k. :evil:
Making predictions without spoilers is tough.
I'm gonna say that it's too soon for the guy MrC is thinking of. The "W" thing is something else althoergher that will not be resolved next week.
Instead it's gonna be a lot of in town business...
where the show is right now is right around where I am w/ the books
even more interesting now that I have no clue whats going to happen

I don't know if you are being serious or not... If you are then: merc' when used as a verb means to kill as in short for mercenary.

I lol'd.
'murk' or 'murc' is slang for the verb 'murder' in hip hop culture.
'merc' is a common abreviation for the noun 'mercenary'.
that's what i got. not sure if that helps... :? :-D
Kill requires fewer keystrokes than merc' so... maybe err on the side of English?
Anyway, I kinda wanted what Michonne wanted: Rick to stfu.

haha fair enough.
I mean if I was a member of Rick's party I'd be telling him to shut the hell up or at least make it clear that his actions do not represent mine. As a viewer though I just want Rick to
kill everybody that stands in his way.
is anyone else obsessing about the fact that this set looks nothing like Alexandria?
i realize its supposed to be some secluded neighborhood. i'm actually more hung up on the fact that no matter how hard i try to suspend my disbelief the woods in northern VA do not look like Georgian woods where it was filmed. too much pine.

Yes, it actually bugs the shit out of me. If I recall correctly, in the comics the settings was more urban as well like maybe Del Ray or something instead of Mount Vernon.

Putting a pretty fine point on it, yeah? Where do they shoot, does anyone know?
About the town, doesn't the story explain it away? The compound is supposed to have been a brand-new planned village, mostly empty but nearly completed, right around the outbreak--figures it would be on previously undeveloped land an exit or two away from old town Alexandria.
You guys know the area way better than I do--what looks wrong?
I do remember that in the book the immediate area around the compound is more developed, like barnesy said--paved streets & some multi-level buildings, etc.
eta: I love the dark turn from Rick & especially Carol the last couple of episodes.

Despite being set in Alexandria, the show is still filmed in Georgia. I met a few guys from the crew a couple weeks ago at the Westin and they were talking about the winter weather they had down there this year.
Some days I love internet.

There really isn't any undeveloped land near Alexandria. Aside from Huntley Meadows Park and Fort Belvoir, you have to get a good bit of driving away from town to get to anything like that. This is why I proposed Leesburg.
When they are going to Alexandria, "Halfway there", as Abraham noticed the bad battery but announces they're gonna make it anyway, they are seeing D.C. from the SouthEast. That road/view does not really exist but, I can put that aside. To even see the Washington Monument like that, they've actually left Alexandria already and are in Arlington. But there's no woods to speak of until they pass Rosslyn. Then they probably trucked it up along the Potomac a bit more to a place like Leesburg where there could be a community that is close to stuff yet isolated by that much undeveloped land. There's nothing stated that the current residents didn't name this haven of their Alexandria after the shit went down.
Or we could try and ignore the failing facts and enjoy the show... It's tough at moments but, I'm trying.

zactly.
glad to know its not just me.
TBH i was already sorta bummed they used some random suburb as "Richmond".
The "insulated, self-suficient, Bizarro-Alexandria" just seems a bit lazy to me.
Regardless, i'm sorta torn on this season.
there's alot riding on this finale.
on a side note i saw the hipster from Terminus on another show last night.
he was playing a hipster, lol.

I don't think that the town action was especially a"annoying" in this past episode.
The reality here is that this show, like the book, is ultimately about the people.
If all they did was wander around and find themselves pinned down by a mess of zombies every half hour, that'd get old pretty fast too.
I'm not saying that there won't be some hot zombie splatter but the plot is driven by the people and their interactions so...
Let's look at the loose ends, shall we?
Rick is teetering on the edge of dangling just beyond it.
The guy he beat up, the doctor, let's call him DrinkyPete, shall we? DrinkyPete cannot hide from his situation but Rick didn't exactly help.
Maggie heard that shit that Gabriel was laying down to the boss-lady, Deanna.
Glen has an enemy, with a gun...
Deanna has some thinking' to do.
Also, let's not forget that Carl is like THIS CLOSE to touching a boob.
Meanwhile Tara, who is clearly taking on some of Andrea's plotlines from the comic, is sharpshooting her was to nirvana or insanity or some shit up there in the tower. Not gonna lie, i tight for a second she was gonna snipe DrinkyPete when he was on top of Rick. You know that shit would have been awesome.
And then there's Daryl and Aaron hot on the trail of someone out in the wild who makes campfires, slaughters people and turns them into walkers after carving a 'W' other heads. That's not in the book, people, we're in unknown territory with that shit.
So what I'm saying is, there's a lot to tie up with some meat left for cliffhanger action too. This sin't argument farm.
Also, Morgan is still out there somewhere.

Drinky Pete - I LOL
good post RJ
my 'annoying' comment was directed at them leaving the 'W' mystery unresolved until next season. hopefully they give us at least a bit of a reveal Sunday. kinda surprised that I haven't hated the Alexandria drama, the writers have done well with it imo
def calling him DrinkyPete from now on

*FYP
absolutely.
i say the writing is pretty top notch overall. i agree 1000% that just running around killing zombies every week like a video game would be lame.
Some of the characters in this show hAve the most in depth development i can ever recall in a tv show.
we all have raised our expectations so very high for this show, and TBH this season has had some amazing moments.
I feel Sasha's storyline especially is great right now. writing & acting.
5 seasons already on a very busy filming schedule.
this is why a spin off could actually make sense considering the demand for this show at the quality we now expect.
Oops... Sasha.
Tara is sidelined for now.
I get the potential frustration regarding the "W" thing but I'm sure they'll give us something more to go on. They developed it a little this past week.
I prefer a patient approach to these things, generally. My wife has roped me into Downton Abbey and those guys seem allergic to allowing a plot line time to spread out. it's always new drama > fretting > tea > servant's whisper about drama > resolution > servants relief about resolution...
And yeah, I think the LA show will give us some fun stuff to dig our teeth into that should be quite different from the primary show. I am worried that they'll spend too much time with the obvious slate of hollywood cameos. Seems like a lock that Chris Hardwick will be among a pack of walkers.

I'm actually wondering if they're going to have a Talking Cobalt for the new show (
Cobalt is the working title of the new show BTW)

Funny thing about that is that there are rumors floating around that Darryl is gay already.
the below statements have been redacted_____
I completely discount any suggestion that Daryl is anyone but Daryl. Not to say that he isn't gay, it simply hasn't mattered enough to explore onscreen.
Future book-based characters will come when their time is up. There are so many things wrong with the suggestion above that I encourage you to delete it so I won't have it to throw in your face a year from now.
The statement has been removed for fear of future shaming. However even if Darryl is no one but Darryl, Sasha is currently Andrea (in a way), so anything can happen.
i am thinking there could be a major cast death tonight.
there is a 'surprise' guest on the after show...
i was sort of surprised this year when i realized how much of the group was composed by season 1 people.
it's a pretty big 'core' if you think about it.
Rick
Carl
Carol
Daryl
Glenn
just seemed interesting considering Maggie is the only person left from season 2 (unless you count Michone who shows up at the very end).
However, none of the storylines neccesarily feel like theyve come to a close.
Maybe Carol... :|
But hopefully Carl....
:evil:
just saw the promo- more dead this summer!! "the fear"?
i was originally thinking carol or glenn, but glenn is the one under a pile of walkers ATM, :-o

"Fear the Walking Dead" is its name. Pretty lame, IMO.
Anyhow, I thought the finale was pretty solid. Definitely good to see Morgan again -- dude clearly went to ninja school since we last saw him! Rick has one hell of a job ahead of him with the Alexandrians...he's gotta whip them into shape real quick like. Something tells me they're gonna have to fight off The Wolves and their truck loads of night club walkers fairly soon.
Woah, what an episode. I've been avoiding this thread day since I opted out of cable and just have internet. I have to wait until they come up on Amazon Prime on Monday nights now. Anyways, I thought that what Rick did in the last episode was a bit over the top but after the Glen, Daryl, and architect fiasco's tonight I think he has a solid point. Hopefully that politician lady will keep her head out of her ass. Now, what happens with preacher man? I've never liked him or his religious input so I would have been okay with him getting taken out.
Who let the walkers in?

Gabriel let them in, he didn't close the gate when he came back inside.
Great episode. Some tense stuff happening and a few people still breathing that oughtn't be (Gabriel and Nicholas), but I'm already aching for the next season.
Now there's going to be some conflict between Morgan and Rick next season. Since Morgan finds every life precious and he just walked into Alexandria and the first thing he sees is Rick blowing someones head off.
Despite the poor choice of name for the spin-off, I'm looking forward to it and think it'll help to fill the walker-less lumps of time we have in life.
Carol's "performance" with these Alexandria people is amazing.
Rick is a crazy motherfucker.
Too bad that Morgan has been through hell and come back a bodhisattva whereas Rick has sunk deeper and deeper into crazy town. Rick was still out to snacks when they arrived in Alexandria in the comic too.
Glenn is badass and the fact that he didn't kill that goon is just proof that A) he's better than that dick (duh) and B) he's got his shit way tighter than Rick.
Father Gabe is going on the shit list for a while, I suspect.
The Wolves should be fun...
I could have watched another hour of that shit.
Can't believe it's over already.
Rick for President

I love that Portugal. The Man song on there.
im ready for the new series. cmon june 28
(http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/v2_article_large/public/2015/06/29/fear-walking-dead.jpg)
im curious about the postponed start date.
im wondering what the master plan to shuffle the two series is.
does this mean reg Walkin dead series will be further apart or just once a year?
i was thinking maybe they did this all to up the production value of the orig series, taking more time and resources.
the scale really could us an upgrade.
should be interesting to see how this all plays out.
I think the intent is for the Fear season to lead into the reg WD season. Possibly to avoid conflicting with True Detective on Sunday nights.
New news from Comic-Con.

new series next week. im a bit nervous. hope they pull this off.
...I'm curious if any of the original production/development/writing etc teams had any involvement.
exit polls seem to be saying the new show is legit
Psyched to watch it tonight.
Ok, now on to the good stuff!
Lots of character building (as was to be expected), and mostly about the junkie. But I'm betting from here on out it will get good.
The junkie looks sexy in that white cardigan.

ZOMBIES ON A PLANE!!!AMC have announced that there will be a half-hour stand alone story about a walker attack on a plane that will introduce a character that will come into Fear The Walking Dead in Season 2.
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/28/walking-dead-airline
QuoteHere's the plan: EW has exclusively learned AMC is producing a half-hour special that will tell a stand-alone story following a group of passengers facing a walker attack on an airline while in flight. One character who survives that encounter will then join the cast of Fear the Walking Dead in season 2. So, yes: Zombies on a Plane.
Fuck yes
Watched ep. 2 last night.
I think this show is on the rise.
It is a shame that they've got to pack the apocalypse into six episodes. But I think most viewers wouldn't want to wait as long for full-blown zombie horror as I.
Damn, my DVR didn't record this weeks episode. I'll either have to wait until it re-airs on Saturday, or find it through less reputable sources.

Finishing up episode 2. Kinda meh so far. Few holes here and there and shit I don't get in this episode.
i defintiely dig the new series. i think it has the (potential for) same great storytelling and character development as the orginal.
Watched episode 2 tonight, still felt pretty slow to me.
At the beginning i saw the plane pass over head and thought about it being the one from the spin-offs spin-off.
Was there a show this past weekend?

Yeah, Fear isn't good at all. Since there are only 2 episodes left, I'll finish out the season but still......

Yeah, it's getting a solid meh from me.
Gonna need some strong changes in the writing dept to fix this for next season (which AMC has already ordered.)
Thing is, I like the setting and the view of the immediate response but I'm not compelled by any of it.
The only one I really want to see survive is the junkie kid because I imagine his path would be compelling if the govt doesn't off him directly.
watching marathon leading up to season 6.
in season 2 tonite, just caught something i never noticed before.
-Before Shane shoots Otis and sacrifices him to get away, in the scene before Shane actually offered the bags with the medical supplies to OTis to get away with, suggesting he could leave him behind, but otis didnt want to do it.
i never realized this, but it changes alot of how i view Shane. HE didnt just sacrifice OTis until leaft with no other option i-ncluding OTis being the one to make it, to make sure Car got the stuff to survive.
on a side note, i think we should make odds on the main characters survival this season. it seems many of them, especially Rick, are pretty much impossible to off at this point without the show taking a major risk of losing steam. Rick dying anytime soon has to be well over 1000:1 imo. & Daryl isn't far behind.
:wtu:
great setup. i dunno if any of yall caught the 5 minute preview trailer during the marathon this week, but this season is going to be out of control fromt he looks of it.
pretty much confirmed by the producers in all the interviews ive seen. going to be non stop , very intense.
also, still buggin me about the location. rock quarry in alexandria? is there seriously that muc forrest even anywhere near alexandria? isnt it ALL urban?... i just gotta let it go i guess, lol. otherwise im pumped for this year.
relaly glad MOrgan is a full time member. :mrgreen:
So, must have been the wolves setting off the siren then? Next week's episode looks intense, to say the least.
I didn't watch the Talking Dead or any of the previews for next week, but I immediately thought it was the Wolves blowing that siren. But my mom reminded me of that little shit whose father Rick killed, so it could very well be him trying to fuck things up for Rick and make him look bad.
Either way, I thought it was a good episode and a great setup for whatever is coming next. Psyched for next week.
Cool episode... shit's just getting rolling
Finally got to watch this weeks episode. I really like the style of it, with the black and white flashbacks.
I am also thinking that the wolves are the ones blaring the siren and attacking Alexandria in the previews.
And Heath looks EXACTLY like he does in the books. I thought that was awesome.
Holy fucking shit, that episode..
:samurai:
Good stuff,excited to see Morgan's development
Yeah I like the first two a whole lot. Carol being a badass covert assassin was awesome...need to see the next one now!!!!!

They didn't show Glenn actually dying. Pretty sure that was Nicholas they were chomping on.

yeah, but it seems like its a fairly sure bet he's going to die.
in the aftershow Gimple sent a letter saying things would be resolved and we hadnt seen teh last of glenn, that some 'part' or 'version' of him will showing up.
im guessing he makes some move to get under the dumpster or whatever and survives half eaten or something until someone shows up for some final dialog or something.
who knows. pretty sure hes a gonner though. i doubt theyd completely set up some bs senario where he survives completely after that much of a scene.
BTW, next week 90 min episode lookin sweet.
Trailer showed Morgan in his 'clear; days. i'm guessing they do some backstory to fill in how he got from there to his current state of mind.

I'm thinking that he will appear in a flashback scene of just before they left Alexandria and Maggie tells him that she is pregnant, which will make his death even more upsetting.
I think Glen is dead and the Maggie being pregnant thing is probably spot on, good thinking. It might not have shown Glen clearly being the one who got eaten but he definitely fell off the dumpster and smashed his head on the concrete. I went back and re-watched it too. It looks like Glen being eaten.

Damn, I don't remember this at all. I need to re-watch some of the episodes from last season.
The fact that they didn't even mention Glenn dying in the "Inside The Walking Dead" short tells me that his story isn't quite done.
I'd much rather see him go out the way he did in the comics (spoilers!) than like this.

Midpoint through this new episode tonight, am reminded this show is at its strongest when two people are alone and talking in a room. The rest of it is just window dressing.

That was the most sickening thing I've ever seen in a comic book. I'd love to see how they might adapt it for television.
Good episode but uh...
So I hadn't been able to watch for a few weeks (the wife's grandfather died and she said we had to wait). Today I binge watched the last three episodes... Holy Shit!!
I still have faith that Glen will be under that dumpster and that was Nicholas's guts getting eaten, but maybe not.
That Morgan episode was cool too. I like how this episode has been dealing with 'Then and Now' types of things.

That is actually one of the things I really have been hoping wouldn't make it into the show. Just like I was glad that The Governor didn't get to rape and torture Michonne. Those were the two most cringe-worthy scenes in the books.

Not one of my favorites. So much for that cliffhanger with Rick.
this was the episode where each season i realize how short these half seasons are. only 3 left?!?!! ahhhh!!!!
anyway, has anyone else heard the theory that Enid is a wolf and she kidnapped Judith?
it would seem wrong since Rick was around all last episode in Alexandira and you would think the 1st thing he would do is check on her, but she hasnt been seen since the wolf attack when Enid left.
Though i would think something is going on there since we saw the wolves had taken baby food when they attacked Rick in the RV...
should be a killer last 3 for sure after 2 slow down eps in a row.
Still no Glen...

glenns dead. bank it. the note from gimple saying a "piece" of him would show up was refering to the baby.
and as far as the rick rv situation, i didnt really see anything missing or worng with how they played it.
zombies were approaching, obviously he ran for it, and then we see him at the beginning of last episdoe out running the herd.
Glenn isn't dead until they mourn him on and offscreen.
A major character dating back to day one of the show will get a bigger send off.
Not saying we'll see him alive but I'm waiting for the closure we deserve before I write him off.

This is vaguely a spoiler so read on with caution.

They certainly didn't give away the big spoiler in there :wink:
Shit should get real upon his entrance but very curious to see what will transpire between now and when he shows up, especically how the books play out
well, guess ii was successful in jinxing GLenn's survival.. i love Glenn, but TBH i feel sorta jipped.
hopefully this is just a setup to really kill off someone later this season. i really think its time we see a big name go.
otherwise im toen on this season. its sorta pittered out the last few EPs imo, but should be pretty good mid season finale next week.
im wondering if the obvious incoing feul truck and RPGs with Abraham is going to be as telegraphed a solution for the herd as it seems.
That kid is totally going to kill Carl. I will say, as much as Carl annoys me (even more so in the jail season) I don't want to see him go down by an even more annoying adolescent.
Not dead yet isn't the same as safe.

Some stuff is gonna go down. I'm psyched for it.

Just finally watched the mid season finale. It was definitely suspenseful.
The very last part was cool, I hope Abraham blows those fuckers up
its about that time bitchez!
pretty pumped for 2moro.
actually thought 1st pt. of season sorta went flat towards the end, but coming back there are a ton of cliffhangers that i think we should have some goodies.
-Neegan
-abrham/sasharosalita love triangle
-maggies baby
-carl vs ricks new girlfiend son
-morgan v carol!
...alot of unresolved issues for sure.
also, im really hoping we get a major cast death after the whole Glenn BS. -hoping that was just a setup to gauge the fan reaction or somethin. :samurai:
I'm expecting shit to get fucked up.
Love that 1st scene

Yeah, it was pretty killer.
And man, I was wondering if that was ever going to happen to Carl. Great stuff last night.
In between the mid-season finale and this mid-season opener I decided to take up the comics and blasted through a ton of it. I went a bit beyond where the group is at now and wasn't sure if I should do so, obviously because of spoiler potential. It seemed that so much of the prior TV episodes deviated so far from the comics that it would be worth it, since I'd still be guessing whether they'd stick or stray. But now seeing the first episode since I started reading the comics, I can definitely say that I did not enjoy last night's episode nearly as much as I should have, because I knew what was going to happen. Especially when I hear all of the audience response saying how it was one of the best episodes ever. Not that I didn't enjoy it. It was still very cool. Live and learn, but I'm done reading the comics.

Yeah, I stopped reading the comics for the same reason. I believe #98 was the last one I read. I think by the end of this season the show should be caught up to about where I'm at. So next year I can maybe watch it totally fresh.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but I'm not going to miss the simpering battered wife and her spoiled kids at all.

I've read the comics.
That was one of the best episodes of the show so far.
Yup.
Sure, I knew that was going to happen to Carl but it was still fresh because that kid shoot him instead of who did in the books. And I never remember a Bazooka-started Lake of Fire in the books. I love them both and am really happy that the show has deviated from the books so much.
Plus...
For those who liked that shot of Carl with his eye blown off as he turns to Rick...
I first saw that image in black and white on a comic page. To see it on tv was awesome.
Yes it was.
Richone FTW
Another good episode and completely different from the last.
Finally got to watch this weeks episode last night. Great stuff going on.
Now that Jesus has entered the picture, shit's gonna good.

I have not read any of the comics but just from that 1 episode with him in it, I have a feeling you're correct.

ok, im predicting Carol dies this season.
super excited to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Comedian from Watchmen) as Neegan.
That was a great building episode. Lots of foreshadowing going on and many scenes true to the book. I loved it.
My one complaint is Abraham wanting Sasha over Rosita. :samurai:
I'd pour the Bisquick all over Rosita!

There were a couple bits like that. Straight out of the book.
Great stuff.

I don't know what to think about Carol....
It's pretty clear.
Redhead chick, said that she was the timid scared chick that Carol was portraying but she's moved past it, become something stronger. But really Carol has, in fact, long since become what that redhead claimed to be: a cold, effective killer. So much so that Carol doesn't want to be that. It scares her. She worries that she can't go back.
But, when it comes down to defending the baby, she'll do it.

Very well put, RJ. I was aware of the self-reflection, it started after the incident in house with Morgan and the Wolf character, but was thrown off by the hyperventilating and inability to kill some of Neegan's people. However, it makes sense now that you bring up her fear of becoming somebody/something that she doesn't want to be, I didn't think of that aspect. I was also thrown off when my :smoke: friend calls me after the episode praising Carol and how it was all an act. He made me question Carol's actions because I did not think they were an act, but a sign of weakness/fright/etc.

It was part act and part real. Carol is still the bad-ass Carol we've grown to know but she's really begun to embrace 'Cookies and Cardigans Carol'. So much so that she is torn between the two (the bad-ass or homemaker that is, not the cookies or the cardigans).

It was 100% an act.
She's been a killer for awhile now, and it was only towards the end of the episode where her 'feelings' came into play
Like, haven't y'all been watching this show for awhile now? She changed a LONG time ago..

I don't think so. Why would she be making a list, counting the number of people she killed? And also the conversation that she and Morgan had about her not telling anyone else about the captive Wolf which made her an accessory...I think she's torn.

I think she's going through some legit soul-searching absolutely, but I also think her hyperventilation was intentional: to get the gag off, put up the "scared weakling" act, and gauge how serious the Neegan jackoffs were.

I agree with this.
Feel free to watch the behinds the scenes feature the wherein the the producers and actors say exactly what I said if you need corroboration.
Did you dudes watch this week's show?
Good episode. It's too bad Daryl had to reunite with his crossbow in such a way. :| (I hope Tara got her soda.)
There's no way this is the last we see of Carol. My money is on her getting caught by Neagan's peeps. Either she'll meet her end because of it, or she'll witness something that makes her rethink her morals and we'll get "old Carol" back for the time being.

I was also loving the conversations between he and Abraham.
Liked the episode, but Abraham and Sasha are going to start up the type of drama I hate to see in the TWD.
I completely forgot about now-dick-less renegade guy.
Dwayne has had it rough.
I'm not saying I feel bad for the guy, cos, after all, what an asshole to steal from the dude who saved your life but...
I don;t think Sasha and Abraham are going to be that bad of a thing. Especially as things keep drawing close to the books...

I thought the same thing mentioned in that link. Especially when I saw the armor.
And holy fuck, what just happened?!?!
So the guys in the armor and the place they're from are definitely coming next season. I can't wait!
And Negan must have really hated that camera man. :|
We have to wait a whole six months to find out who got kissed by Lucile!?!?! My guess is Abraham, Darryl or Glen. Could be Eugene also. All we know for sure is that it's not Rick or Carl. Damn, I hate cliffhangers.

Probably in the minority here but it seems like they were basically victimizing this girl in an attempt to make a "viral video".
I don't really see her buying the whole thing as much as getting confused.
I felt bad for her and stopped watching.

oof.
that still-frame...
never posted after the last season finale, but i really enjoyed it. one of the best eps i think of the series.G
overall a really solid half season. one of my favs. the scipting and overarching storytelling was some of most cohesive i think we've seen.
p.s. - was pretty disappointed by 'Fear's' 2nd, or 2nd half of season- whatever it was. started out pretty solid then the train went compeltely off the tracks.
directing and scripting was attrocious. ill still prob watch the restof it thats coming out in a week or so, but man they better tighten it up.

so... my money's on Abrham gettin wacked... or maybe Eugene... or... Glenn? shit, i dunno.
Fuck me

I left the room.
My stomach doesn't bode well when I have to watch humans behave that way.

2 outta 3 not bad, epsecially since i dont read the comics.
i was pretty sure it was gonna be Abraham His story arc had just really come full circle and his happiness with Sasha was the final nail. Also i felt the dynamic between Sasha and Rosalita would hold the most potential post death.
Glenn, well the whole psych out fake death early in season 6 just seemed like a big setup, and then the baby on the way allowing story points post death... but i guess the comic readers knew all along.
Anyway, great episode. fantastic drama for the most part. I'm real happy with the reset for the future of the series. Looks like we got many years of story yet to be told.
Not for nothing, if you've read the comics you know how much of a badass Negan can be and how this ended. It's interesting, though, to see people's reactions and how they wove his character into the TV storyline.
Negan may be badass, but he talks way too fucking much, and says hardly anything. The (TV) writers had an orgy of monologue with this character last night which was tiresome and second rate. I hope he has a larger fingerprint than The Govenor in this series, but at 1/3 the syllable count on show in the premiere.
Bad news, gg.
Negan likes the sound of his own voice.
FYI, all of his speeches were filmed twice. Once for television, once for blu-ray. The latter is way heavier on the profanity.
Disgusting episode.
My wife says she's quitting the show.
I don't think they'll sustain this level of violence though:

I think JDM nailed the character though. Maybe badass isn't the proper term, but yes he does love to hear himself talk.
I've always liked him as an actor, he was great in a limited role as the Comedian in the Watchmen too.

agreed.
& FWIW the entire point of the episode was that noone else couldl talk except NEgan. I mean, literally talking meant you could get someone killed, lol.
Personally i thought the entire dialogue was wonderfully written. I didnt think there were any empty lines at all. Every word from Negan was developed to show his ego and power while breaking down the group and most importnalty Rick into submission.
Call me a fanboy but i bought it. TBH i thought it was near perfect. The only thing i kept thinking was that he waS saying 'shit' alot b/c they cant use a bunch of F bombs to balance it out as would have made it more natural.
LAstly, i'm sorta surprised at any of the negative reaction to the violence... i mean honestly the show had gotten pretty soft the last few years and i think it really needed it to recharge the vibe back to where they started. I think ithis is exactly where the show should be displaying the extreme drama of human desperation and depravity while pushing the basic cable tv envelope.

People have limits. I'm not opposing the show or how far they went but I know people who can't watch that and would prefer not to see two heads graphically smashed in. Even the producers acknowledge that it was gratuitous, even if there was a purpose to it.
It's not pleasant and, at some point you may have to decide if that outweighs the entertainment.

It's still hard to watch a human do that to a human.
Zombies are not afftecting.
that's the point?
works for me.

i'm not watching the walking dead for pleasantries personally. that's all i'm saying.
and dont take this the wrong way, im just trying to have a discussion here, but isn't 'gratuitous' by definition going beyond having a purpose?
I think if it was just the Abraham scene noone would have anything to say, but most of the disgust results from GLenn's scene.
Even considering both scenes the total amount of gore might amount to two or 3 minutes worth of footage.
IF we're suggesting its the quality of the gore and not the quantity, then again isn't this the Walking Dead? The same show where the Michone stabbed the Govenor in the eye with a shard of glass and the Termites had racks of humans drying in a slaughterhouse aging for consumation?
This was an especially visual brutal few minutes with the explicit purpose of galvanizing the group going forward through the death of the most important characters of the entire series.
I think they portrayed it exactly how it needed to be portrayed without censoring or minimalizing the artistic impact of the scene.
IF I'm talking 'gratuitous' then I'd be more inclined to talk about every other episode of Game of Thrones. I mean showing me the wart on that guys cock doesnt exactly do anything to develope the story.
I think alot of the backlash i've been hearing around actually lies in the fact that many casual or new fans saw this episode.
My physical therapist had a similar experience where he got his wife to watch it after seeing the 'up to now' catch up show.
He said she won't be watching it again either.
I think the producers were most likely quite aware that the cliffhanger hype this summer was going to bring new people in and so they really needed to reset the original tone of the series.
PErsonally i feel It was perfect timing and brilliant execution (no pun inteneded).
IMO the show had goten pretty stale and soft the last few years and i wasnt really believing the reality as much as the first few seasons.
Originally this show pushed the envelope of cable tv. Thats what made it special.
Whether or not TV should be serving up violence, warranted or not, seems like a bridge we all passed in regards to this show 7 years ago.
Sounds like buyer's remorse to me.
Trust me, 99% of cable tv will protect you from feeling uncomfortable if that's what your looking for.
Watching made me uncomfortable, but so did reading it. I knew it was coming and it was cringworthy but it's not going to make me stop watching the show. Negan is a mother fuckin' fuck of a fuck, and I know he'll make for interestingly edgy tv.
It does raise interesting questions about what we supposedly deem "appropriate" for TV as far as censorship goes.
That was a-okay, but no boobies or offensive words. Because the children!

Remember when people were in an uproar because Aaron and Eric kissed? They used the excuse 'I don't want my kids seeing that' then too.

Don't want my kids to see that kinda bad shit when the zombies come.
I think he fact that the show almost made me not want to watch anymore really doesn't warrant this much discussion.
Oh I didn't mean to direct anything towards anybody, just love the show and the episode definitely affected me.

i dont think anyone was centering the discussion around your personal opinion. in fact you said you werent 'opposed to it'.
maybe you bringing it up was a jumping off point but like i said before i heard similar reactions from alot of soruces.
obviously if theres something in the show that makes people considering to stop watching then i'd say that warrants more discussion than the last hundred pages of this thread.
i cant think of anything more controversial in the entire series.
the closest thing i can think of is when they introduced the Termites.
that episode definitely bothered me alot more than this one.
and still nothing comes close for me to season 1 when the zombies attacked the camp and Andreas sister got bit. that episode has always sticked with me just cause it was the first real tension filled moment that made me cringe.
the real discussion here i think, outside of tv standards in general which really has been beaten to death, is how by season 7 i know personally i am completely desensitized to the zombie affect.
thats the crux of this biscuit i think.
i'd say season 3 was the last time i didnt just think of the zombies as a backdrop. the producers in fact said as much starting around s4 that the 'real' threat was people not the dead.
...and therin lies the issue. the show has ridden on this premise for the last few years but it really gets itself bogged down by it when they cant actually be as expressive with human v human violence as human v zombie violence.
again , this is nonsense because it is all fiction.
its like if people got upset b/c they showed someone getting raped on the show but then everyone was fine with them showing a zombie being raped...
My wife called it quits on the show in the first few episodes of season 6. So I don't blame anyone for not wanting to watch anymore. Things get pretty gruesome from here on out, but that episode is kind of the apex of grotesqueness, just like Issue 100 of the books was their apex of grotesqueness.

Bad news, gg.
Negan likes the sound of his own voice.
FYI, all of his speeches were filmed twice. Once for television, once for blu-ray. The latter is way heavier on the profanity.
Disgusting episode.
My wife says she's quitting the show.
I don't think they'll sustain this level of violence though:
http://nerdist.com/the-walking-dead-producers-explains-why-they-created-that-cruel-cliffhanger/
Not that life is going to get easier anytime soon.
Well, that is unfortunate. I didn't mind the violence whatsoever, and it IS time to churn some of these characters, and I can be accused of thumbs-upping banal violence but getting in a tiff about dialogue, and yet...
Just some substance, that's all I want...I'll be watching Sunday, that much is for sure. Let's see where this goes.
On one hand, I kind of understand the bashing-in of the humans heads being a bit too much for someone, but to call it quits? You watch 6 seasons of a gore-filled show about zombies with almost endless grotesque scenes (it's supposed to be like that, btw), but then give up after all that bc someone gets their head caved in?
I just don't get it. What did you expect from a show like this?
Like I said, I totally understand someone not wanting to watch it, but if thats enough for someone to stop watching the show for good on the spot like that, after already watching 6 seasons of gore, you would think they never would have watched it to begin with....

If you can't see the different between zombie violence and human on human violence, then you might be the one who needs perspective.

One of my favorite parts of the episode.
Comic book spoiler/show theory below:
[spoiler]In that episode it kind of seemed like they're going to substitute Carol for Michonne as Ezekiel's love interest. [/spoiler]

TBH i think you're being a little harsh, and i gotta back lifeboy up a bit.
I don't see it that way at all, and i'm pretty much a pacifist.
not to beat a dead horse here, but this is a TV show. it is art. It is fiction. none of it is real. so zombie, human, alien, whathaveyou...we are viewing something that IS NOT REAL.
qualifiying zombie violence vs human violence is only relevant if we are comapraing them on the premise that zombies ARE real, IE within the fiction of the show.
To play devil's advocate to your quip I'd say if YOu can't detach fiction from reality than... maybe you need perspective.
Like i said already, scenes like Noah getting his face eaten off were much more disturbing to me.
OF course if i was walking down the street in real life and i saw someone getting their head bashed in by another person it would be horrible, but TBH if i saw my friend gettin ghis face eaten off it would be worse...but that wouldnt happen BECAUSE it was real life, NOT TV,
thats all i got, i cant think of any other way of explaining this point.
first episode of the season was gruesome, but I can handle that. The tiger though, I'm not sure I can handle.

Shiva's a pussy cat.
ok, 3 setup episodes... please can we get some action next week?
so, Fear the Waling DEad just had their season finale and i gotta say this season was really really good after the first 2 seasons were pretty meh.
not sure exactly but i think they brought over s. Gimple to produce and it defintiely had more of an authentic Waling Dead feel.
In fact it probably is more of the old school w. Dead vibe i prefer to whatever the current cheesy over the top thing we have now in the original series.
I honestly thought last season pretty much jumped teh shark after the 1st episode and im sorta nervous about this season being even decent after seeing th promos.
guess ill see next week.

I stopped watching TWD last season after episode 2. And I never even started the second season of FTWD.
so i guess its the end of an era. Andrew Lincoln announces he's leaving... before his last season. weird. shoudl be interesting to see how they deal with it.
honestly i still watch the show just cause i have nothing better to do on Sundays, but i really havent enjoyed the show since Glenns' last episode 2 years ago or whatev.
On the other hand FEAR TWD has continually improved and this season they completed rebooted with new writters that really stepped it up. They brought in Morgan from TWD and a bunch of new actors including Jenna Elfman who i love. the first episodes sicne th reboot were really good and took more of an OG TWD approach with the grimey visual filtering. Im pretty excited for this next half season nwo that they got through some of the weird transition of ditching actors and refreshing the story.
Not sure if this has been posted, but this is a cool short.
https://youtu.be/RI5v3Wfs41g
K, real quick i just gotta say this new season, #9 of TWD is really good so far.
the last 2 seasons flat out sucked IMHO and i thought the show had officially jumped the shark when they announced Andrew Lincoln was leaving, BUT they got rid of Scott Gimple as head writer and the new chick completely made a conscioous effort to make it like th e'old' walking dead- like with actual zombies and a heavily character driven story with intrigue... and i love it.

Haven't watched last night's yet but I'm in on this new season too.
Nice start.
Also worth noting, that this takes place in the timeframe that they skipped in the comics.
just going to say SPOLIER ALERT... just to cover myself, but dman what a crazy "final episode" for RICK...
and then a 3 year(?) time jump for a complete reboot?!! noice.
and to top it off apparently they are EXPANDing TWD universe and making a bunch of side projects starting with RIck Grimes full length feature films on AMC... so yeah, not what i expected, but cool.
im excited to see RIck Grimes in high budget action. :samurai: new actor or A Lincoln? IDK
supposedly next fall? is the final season... finally lol.
at the same time i swore i saw something about Daryl getting kicked from the show for selling CBD oil or something.
what a decade.
final season actually really good.
best season in years probably...
12 years later is finally ends
probably 6 years to late, but i made it!

yeah its been pretty shit, though honestly when they changed producers or w/e a year or two ago it sorta got things back on track decently and rounded out about as good as it could.
and now...
3 new series coming next year, lol.
Daryl spin off, Rick and Michonne spinoff, and some other new series.
Though i'm speculating most if not all of these are going to be for their streaming service and not on cable so they can jumpstart their service since TWD is really the only draw they have with a still huge following.

The Breaking Bad/BCS universe is pretty sweet too, but now that BCS wrapped-up. I don't know if they have anything else planned.
My wife and I had the whole "Well, we've watched it this long, might as well keep going" thing going on. But every season has dragged on longer and longer. I just wished they all would've died. That would've been the best ending. Happy to be done with it. Finally

In my mind they all died when Glen died. 8)

My son started watching last Summer. Started at the beginning and stopped on the ep before Glenn died.
Basically, my wife and I refused to watch that so with him and he could tell we were so upset about what was coming up that he didn't carry on.
Not a bad show up to there.
On our original viewings, we watched until Rick left.
the gang is going to MSG lol.
