Has anybody seen this show,im just finished watching this and i have to admit it's brilliant. Anything Zombie and i love it, its just a pity there is only 6 episodes to the first season but i understand there is going to be a second season.. The Walking Dead
I DO watch the series and also enjoy it. It's been so long since it ended, I hope they repeat the episodes before the new season begins. I didn't realize they only made 6 episodes. I kept thinking I missed a few along the way. I wonder why such a short season?
I think if given time this show will catch on. It is very good thus far.
Does anyone know exactly when season two will start? There seems to be so much time between seasons. I hope they repeat the first season (or at least the last couple episodes) to refresh my memory.
Excellent show DE NIRO. I watched THE WALKING DEAD and posted about it way back in November of 2010 when it first aired here in the states.
Can't wait for season 2.
I understand that they started shooting back in May and are hoping to air the second season sometime in October.
"The zombies are back, and deader than ever. Production has kicked off on the second season of AMC's The Walking Dead and the first bit of 'actual' buzz-worthy details has lift-off. The above photo is from actual The Walking Dead season 2 filming, and as you can see all of that gloomy talk of budget cuts hasn't led to any skimping on the series' core elements. The zombies are as foreboding, and pungent, as ever."
Thanks for the info DeNiro. Geez, it is so damn long between seasons, it's easy to forget where they left off. I know On-Demand use to have it available and hopefully they will again and/or AMC will run at least the last couple episodes.
Btw, when was the last original episode? Months and months ago it think.
Has anybody been watching season two? Four episodes in so far. I've been streaming this online and have to say am very impressed so far. There is 13 episode in this season so is a little slow but im loving it.All about survival and hope..
I am DeNiro. I missed last night's episode but fortunately got to see just tonight on HBO On Demand. Are you watching season II then? I don't want to give anything away, but I am enjoying it more than True Blood. It is certainly a eerie premise and you're right, it's all about survival. I really enjoy it.
Season 2 yes TIS i've managed to find a link to stream it online as i don't have the channel it normally shows on and Yogi it's one of my favourite shows also..
So you've seen Sunday's episode? The episode prior showing Shane's getaway from the health care facility? How he got away??? Surprised me He had a weird look as he was shaving his head.
Also, if you saw Sunday's, Lori telling Glenn what she needed from the pharmacy creates a problem for her. LOL
Yes im all up to date TIS, i think there is some interesting sub plots starting to happen now..And good to see Merle back next week, wondering whats going to happen with him..
Has anybody been watching this, Sundays episode was the mid-season finale, excellent episode. Why is it the American dramas have a break half way through?
DeNiro I am following and watched Sunday. Remind me not to open a barn door. Very good episode. Not too surprised to see Sophia joined the Undead. I'm sure we'll see tension between the two male lead characters regarding the new baby, and then some.
This is the FIRST I ever heard of a "mid-season finale." Did I hear Feb. it returns? The cable series like Mad Men, White Collar and others seem to have their own seasons, BUT mid season finale???? It's new as far as I'm concerned.
I knew from the first few episodes that Sofia was a walker, i just didn't expect her to be in the barn. I also think Shane and Rick will come to blows at some point. Can't wait until February..
Well with Sofia missing so long yea I kind of expected it too but the barn thing was a surprise. Yea, Rick & Shane are the characters I was referring to. Since Shane shaved his head after his visit for the medical supplies he seems more evil no? He wasn't bitten right? That missing gob of hair was from the guy that went with him (the ranch owner's son)who was only fighting for his survival. Anyway he seems to have had a personality change since then.
Anyone who watched Sunday's episode. Those guys in the bar (toward end of episode and shown in link above that I posted a while back)...They weren't anyone from previous episodes right? They just happened to meet up with them right? They seemed a little shady to me.
I watched it and i very much enjoyed it.. The two guys at the end where new people but in that situation got what they deserved, it's all about survival and i would have done the same thing to protect the group..
DeNiro, Do you think Dale knows about Shane's "escapades"(not to give anything away)or is guessing? Do you think Shane is going 'bad' or he did what he needed to do? When he shaved his head last season I sensed a Travis Bickle character emerging.
Lori to me sometimes seems unreasonable & bitchy. LOL
I think he probably knows what Shane is capable of, Shane shaved his head in season two after he killed Otis.. Np offence but all of the women to me are annoying at the moment, especially Lori..
Hey DeNiro, did you see this article? Remember the season finale where that scientist whispered something in Rick's ear? Evidently Andrew Lincoln (Rick) knows that secret. It sounds like it's something to be revealed hopefully this season. I actually forgot about that scene until just reading the story. Love the mystery.

Do you by chance also watch "Being Human?" There is a UK version and an American version. I've seen MORE of the American version but also like the UK version. I just don't know the time's its on.
Yesterday's episode (2-19) was awesome. The ending scene with Rick/Laurie. She's really manipulating him isn't she? And what was Rick's "look" at the very end?
Don't know if the UK has the after the episode show called "Talking Dead" where they have people discussing episode just shown. They had a poll re: the guy who was looking for the shooters in the bar. He ended up with his leg mangled/caught on a fence & Walkers all over. His friends basically said, "sorry" and left him to die. The Poll asked what would YOU do. 1) leave him to the zombies 2)amputate leg and save him or 3)take leg only (silly option)? First option won.
Anyway, this show is really getting good.
Btw, how is I wonder, that they concluded that you can shoot a zombie to kill him? Seems weird, since they are already dead and yet they either shoot or ax them. Well, then make a bonfire. TIS
I agree it's getting better with each episode and the season is moving on nicely now after a slow start. With regards to the guy stuck on the railing, i think i would have left him as now i think we will see his friends come looking for him or something like that.
I also saw the preview for next week and Karl and Shane go head to head which end up with them fighting.. I would like to see Daryl a little more as he's been a bit of an outcast at the moment..
Dale really has it in for Shane and now Laurie is trying to get Rick to "eliminate" him, or so it seems no? I don't agree with what Shane did but part of me, at least so far, kind of feels sorry for him. I think he may get blamed for a lot more than he deserves.
Then again, perhaps Andrea telling Shane to improve on his "presentation" may bring a little warmth to him. That being said, it looks like he could be going off the deep end. From Rick's look at the end of yesterday's episode, when Laurie told him about Shane thinking the baby is his (and it very well may be), and by the previews, Rick may be going a little mad as well.
Wouldn't living with zombies all around you make you just a little crazy?
Yes, Daryl is hard to figure. Wasn't it his brother they left handcuffed (someone dropped/lost the key) on top of the building? Sometimes he seems ok and sometimes he's just plain mean
TIS
Just found this link, you may already have. Says a little about upcoming episodes.
I think that what Laurie did and said to Rick about Shane last night was outright irresponsible. She is out of control and is creating such problems. Something tells me that the underlying factor in her doing this is one that derives from her own guilt within..the guilt of screwing Shane when she believed her husband to be dead. How long was he supposedly dead for?
I think that it also has to do with her 'woman's intuition' in knowing that the baby is indeed Shanes and NOT Ricks! Remember what she said to Rick when she was rambling to him about Shane and how that baby is Ricks "no matter what."
As for what Shane did in shooting the guy in the knee so he could get away...well that was a borderline decision. He made the guy the sacrificial lamb. It was kind of cold shooting him in the knee. He should have just shot him point blank in the head instead of leaving him to lay there injured to be eaten alive by those walkers. Nonetheless it was a decision that not only saved his own life...but one that saved Carl's life!
And as for Shane going off the deep end with the whole opening of the barn fiasco...turns out it was a good move because it allowed them to finally find out where little Sophia was. had he not done this then they would have still been putting their lives at risk every time they went out there to try and find Sophia.
Is Rick really that much better than Shane? After all Rick blew those 2 guys away in cold blood. Yes he did so because he felt that they were a threat to the rest of them ( which I believe that they were), but on the other side of the same coin Shane has made some of his decisions based on the same feelings that he had about the others possibly being put at risk.
As much as some may believe that Rick is a better person than Shane is, with each episode that goes by we are seeing that they are really not that much different and are becoming even more and more alike!
As for Daryl, I think that he really cares about Carol and is only lashing out at her because he feels bad about not being able to find and save Sophia for her. I also think that Carol has grown to have feelings for him because of the efforts that he has made to try and find Sophia before they found out that she became a walker.
Hey DC, glad to see you can join our Walking Dead conversation. You laid it out nicely. As the series progresses, we learn the characters more and like you said, is what Rick did worse than what Shane did? Still Shane's seemed more unforgivable. Then again, for the sake of the story, we must remember what a world these people live in. It's not like it was before. You are ALWAYS on guard from Walkers.
Laurie is totally growing conniving. I too noticed the comment to Rick about the baby..."it's YOURS no matter what." She fears it could be Shanes
I did kind of feel badly for the guy caught up on the fence and I would have tried to help. But, like I said you have to consider the world you're suddenly living in. If that were a real, what a harsh world it would be to live in. Glad we are among the living.
To me, personally, the second season has been a BIG disappointment.
I really, really liked the first season. Thought it was too short. Now, with season two, i feel like the series have become more and more like a soap opera. Some episodes barely have any walkers in it at all, and this is a zombie-show.
I understand what you are saying Chopper. It's true, the Walkers are not shown as often as you might expect. I am enjoying the storyline nonetheless. Yet, I don't know why they do that.
FWIW, I've notice on nearly all tv "horror" shows like Walking Dead, Vampire Diaries, Being Human and even True Blood (HBO), as time goes on they have less & less scenes which show transformations into the zombie/werewolf/vampire. I don't know why that is.
It use to be that was the fun part of the film, to see the transformation or the "monster/creature" itself. I remember being awed the transformation scene of "An American Werewolf In London." My favorite part of the movie even if they've come a long way since then. I still love that scene.
We'd soon get bored it if became a full on zombie fest every episode, i like the story lines and the character development with each episode.. Bring on season 3..
We'd soon get bored it if became a full on zombie fest every episode.
Exactly right DE NIRO. Imagine how boring the show would be, week after week, if they just kept showing Zombies attacking and eating people and the humans continually trying to hide and escape from them? We'd really have negative posts on here about how boring and one dimensional the show is!
In my opinion it is excellent writing that makes you care about the human characters on a show like this. In my opinion not showing the Zombies week after week makes it that more interesting and tension filled when they do appear from time to time. Take the last scene in the Pretty Much Dead Already episode. How terrible did you feel for Carol when she had to stand there and find out that her daughter became a walker and then had to watch Rick shoot her? At least for me it was a heartbreaking scene......hence excellent writing and acting.
It is one of the few shows that I watch where I just cannot wait to see next weeks episode. They always leave you wanting more!
Well, i didn't mean it has to be a non-stop gore fest, with walker after walker being shot in the head.
Just a good balance between action, drama and good character development, which to me was the excellent season one. Season two just doesn't cut it for me, but i'm glad you guys are enjoying it.
Good episode last night, centering on Rick & Shane and their friendship. For a while there I thought Rick was gonna leave Shane. I have a feeling they both came to terms BUT Rick's wife will not let it drop. Just my opinion.
I can't remember who the kid with the severed leg was? How did he fit into the picture? ( Plus, I didn't realize his leg was that bad)even as he was inching toward getting that knife on the ground.
When you say blonde lady, are you talking about the girl that seems to be befriending Shane? I think her name is Andrea. I am expecting them to become friends (or more) and then Lori will get pissed off. Again, just my opinion. Either that or they'll split from the group which seems to be what Shane is leaning toward.
I did NOT see it. I plan to watch it soon today on "On Demand."
I saw you posted and hesitated to read it cause I didn't want to find out what happened. I'll check back in when I see it. Were there "major" surprises and/or a really good episode? Can't wait to see it.
That last episode was crazy and sad, unfortunately i saw a little spoiler for the rest of the season and lets just say theres another main character who wont make it till the end of the season alive...
POSSIBLE SPOILERS Episode 11 (I never know whether to put this warning since we are a small group that watches but will do so just in case someone was behind in episodes like I was)
Thanks DeNiro, but it was on "On Demand" last night and I got to see it. It was a good episode. Little Carl is getting a little too curious for his own good. I thought he might have been a goner in the swamp scene. I wasn't sure which way they'd go as far with the prisoner they're holding captive, but glad it turned out as it did OR at least I think so.
Oh, and poor Dale, who I think was actually a good guy but for some reason he being so hell bent on going after Shane, it was adding to tensions in the group. But still, what a way to go hu?
Little Carl is going to get the whole group killed if he carries on the way he is.. Was sad to see Dale die as he was one of the few sane people in the group. I can't wait for the next two episodes, it's going to be a dramatic end to the season i'm sure of it..
Two more episodes left? I hate the length of time between seasons AND the fact that they took a "mid-season" break. I mean WTF???
TIS
BTW, DeNiro, that "Walker" that Carl encountered in the swamp. Was he suppose to be in quicksand or something? It seemed he couldn't move? Or maybe stuck in mud???
Another thing why is it you can shoot a "Walker" when they are already dead? Just sayen.....
If you like Walking Dead, I have a feeling you'd like "Being Human." I mentioned it before. There is a UK version and an American version. I watch both, and both seem to have more or less the same storyline, but I think the UK version is a little ahead in the story, making me aware of what's going to happen in the American version.
Anyway, here's the link and if you get a chance, check it out.
Lat nights episode was awesome, didn't expect the ending tho be like that. Next weeks episode is the last in the season and i think a lot is going to happen.. Can't wait..
DeNiro it was good. Shane's having a hard time staying "calm" isn't he? Little Carl I think is gonna have "issues" to deal with. I kind of feel for Rick (in a way) because he seems to want to do the right thing yet sometimes I wonder about him lately too.
Damn, I can't believe they are on the season finale already.
So TIS what did you think of Shane dying. Looks like you don't need to die from a bite.
Ok DeNiro, you may have just delivered a shock to me. Let me explain. I watched the second viewing of the show at 11:00 p.m. and usually can hardly keep my eyes open. I saw to the point Shane takes Randall (?) out and shoots him and everybody comes running out to look for him. At least that's the last I remember. Did I actually fall asleep and miss the ending? Dammit!!! He died? LOL Must have been the very very last minute or two.
TIS
It's on ON DEMAND. I'm watching it now. You got me anxious to see what I missed.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED EPISODE 12
I was able to fast forward to the point I last remember.
All I can say is OMG I missed more than I thought. I wouldn't have expected that ending at all. Shane was one of the main stars. I can't believe it. I still am hoping it's not true. He was kind of a bad guy but good in the role.
You're right about Randall with no bite marks being suspicious. I still don't know how that is possible but am sure something will be revealed.
I'll tell you that was a a great episode and next week's finale looks good as well.
That's two tv shows that I watch on Sunday night that lost a main character last night. Oh, and I'm not gonna be watching half asleep anymore. LOL
Sorry if i spoiled anything for you TIS, i presume that you watched when you posted..
I'm guessing you don't need to be bitten to turn to a walker ii must be like a cold virus where you are just infected. Remember at the end of the first season when the scientist whispered something to Rick, i'm think it has something to do with this.. Soon to be revealed im sure..
No problem DeNiro. It's my own fault for thinking I can stay awake that late. LOL I loved the episode tho. What a shocker it was tho I gotta say. I could have tuned in next episode next week and I'd be wondering where Shane is.
I DO remember the scientist whispering to Rick. You could be right and it may have something to do with Walkers not needing to be bitten. IF the beginning of next season, they SHOW that particular scene in the intro, then we'll find out what he said.
Just blows me away that such a main character was killed off. I look forward to the finale.
I'm gutted that Shane was killed as for me even though he was a nasty character towards the end, he was the best character.
If they kill anymore i'm guessing it will be T-Dog as he has only been a bit part and Sophie's mum (can't remember her name) as there is nothing left for her, also maybe Hershal as he will die protecting his family if it comes to it..
I'm guessing you don't need to be bitten to turn to a walker ii must be like a cold virus where you are just infected.
No, you do not need to be bitten to turn into a walker. If a human is bitten or scratched while alive, they eventually turn into a walker. If a human is stabbed, dies of natural causes, or is shot in the heart, they die and come back as a walker.
The only way, if a human is killed, that they do not come back or turn into a walker is if they are shot or smashed in the head. Must be that if the brain is destroyed then they cannot come back as or turn into a walker.
Shane was stabbed in the stomach/chest. The prisoner's neck was snapped. That is why they were able to come back as walkers.
C'mon people...it's Zombie 101!
Some food for thought......What happens if Laurie were to have a miscarriage? Would the baby turn into a zombie while inside of her!
Whoa Whoa! Wait a second Mr. Cardi (Teacher of Zombie 101). You are implying that Shane could come back as a Zombie then??? I must have ditched class that day.
Secondly, to DeNiro too, remember when Shane killed Otis and came back and shaved his head at the end of that episode? Did he have a scratch on his head? (I often wondered) AND is that why you suggest that Laurie's baby might be half zombie?
Thirdly, if we see Shane's name in the cast at the beginning of Sunday's show, then we know he didn't die. Then again, if he's a zombie, we wouldn't recognize him. LOL
Yea, but how exactly did Shane become a Walker? At what point? Was it like I thought, from the scratch on his head, and he had been one for a while (thus not needing to be biten)? They never showed Shane being attacked by a Walker.
Thanks! I just watched the last half hour again. Can you tell I just don't want Shane to be gone. LOL I want a way for him to come back but can't see it happening. It blows me away they they killed him off.
I'm probably wrong but i had the thought that earlier in the season they pulled a walker out of a well maybe he was infected this way..
Good point! I thought when Shane shaved his head after he killed Otis that night that maybe he could become a Walker. I saw (I thought) a scratch on his head. And then he did look and start acting kind of weird/angry/violent at that point. AND to top it off, we know he was probably disappointed (to a degree) that Rick was alive and destroyed his little set-up with Laurie.
Ok DeNiro, I'm looking forward to the next episode of WD BUT, for me it won't be til the next day. It's on at the same time as Desperate Housewives and I must see that as well cause that ending last week was just as awesome/shocking. I will try to catch the 11:00 p.m. showing of WD or wait til next day for it to be on "On Demand".
Ok TIS no problems, i'll try not to post any spoilers this week
Oh no DeNiro, I wasn't referring to you(or anyone) posting spoilers. Didn't mean to come off that way. I won't come to this thread til I see the episode anyway. I'm just anxious to see it. Besides all anyone needs to do is put spoilers at top of post. Don't worry!!
For those who might want to see this season from the start, AMC is re-airing this season's episodes of Walking Dead before tonight's finale. Tho I am sure DeNiro doesn't see it on the same channel the U.S. does but maybe they are doing the same thing in the UK.
I can't wait. I guess I'll watch Desperate Housewives at 9:00 p.m. (after last week I simply MUST see) and then watch the repeat of the Walking Dead Finale at 11:00. I'll MAKE myself stay awake.
I saw a yahoo thread showing "Walking Dead Finale spoilers" but refrained from clicking it. Don't wanna know (kinda) LOL.
Hey TIS, i always stream the Walking Dead on a Monday on the internet but it's not shown in the UK until the following Friday so i get to set it before most people..
I also seen some spoiler links but have also stopped myself from checking them out.. looking forward to the finale..

DeNiro, I've seen links with "shocking ending to Walking Dead" and I too am tempted. Plus I am now watching the season on tv and they keep advertising this shocking finale. After last week's ending I am not sure what could be more surprising but I AM anxious to see it.
I'll pop in and post either late tonight or tomorrow morning.
That new female character (the chick from Treme) with the katana looks cool and at the end they foreshadow whats up this season as you see a prison in the distance.
I couldnt help myself so I looked up information on the comics on wikipedia and read what happens in the series. It is really good.
I know there are only a few of us here, but just in case someone pops in and hasn't seen the finale...
POSSIBLE SEAS0N FINALE SPOILERS
It WAS a good finale. I never heard of the Katana (hooded character). They talked about it on "Talking Dead" right after the show. Also, I didn't realize that building shot at the end, was a prison (unless I missed a flash of a sign or something). Perhaps that's where the group can take shelter?? Or perhaps that's where a bunch of Walkers live.
Oh, and now we know what the scientist guy whispered in Rick's ear hu? Poor Andrea, on her own. Don't know if the people who saved her are good or not. Still seemed weird without Shane. Man, Walkers everywhere you turn.
Oh, and I'm getting kind of annoyed at Rick's wife. There's NO pleasing that woman. Everyone's questioning his leadership tho I still think he's probably the best to do it.
Was a great finale, the annoying thing about Rick wife was that she got very upset when she found out that Rick killed him, but it was her that warned him of Shane in the first place..
I'm glad Daryl made it as he's my favourite character, i got a feeling he's going to up hook up with Carol in season 3. It was a prison what we saw at the end but i just hope that the next season won't be all on one location like this season..
I waited until I could go through Season 2 at my own pace, which is pretty fast. Unless it was The Sopranos, I can't stand that week to week stuff. Anyway, I'm on episode 9 right now. The show is as good as ever. Tried not to read too much of this thread so I don't spoil it.
DeNiro, I didn't actually listen to the podcast because I assume it's the recording of the show they have every week after each episode called "Talking Dead." I don't always get to see it, but it's kind of fun. Last week they had the actress who played Andrea on as a guest. She noted that the entire cast dances to "Thriller" every now & then.

I am the exact same way, I personally cant stand waiting week to week for episodes. I watched the entire Sopranos series after it ended during my senior year in college, and would often watch an entire season in a day.

Only 6 months till season 3..
yeah, when I saw Rick's wife get pissed I was like WTF.
Just finished the second season. Or is it considered the third season? Or season 2 part B?
It sucked to see Shane go. I realize he had become the antagonist, and I didn't necessarily agree with everything he did, but I usually understood (and sympathized) why he was doing it. I had forgotten that it had been revealed before they were all possibly infected. So I just assumed that there was some left over blood on Rick's knife or something. I guess I can also understand Lori's initial reaction to his death. But that better not continue. She can't take her guilt out on Rick. And speaking of Rick, I understand him losing patience and taking a tough stance at the end. I'd certainly be sick of everyone running off here or there and then you have to try and find each other again. It also sucked seeing Dale go but I think Hershel sort of takes his place as the wise old "sage" of the group. Also, the chick who plays "Maggie" is gorgeous.
Anyone familiar with how long the comic series is? I ask because that may give some clue on how long the TV series will be.
Well, after reading a few articles on the next season, as well as taking an overview of the story line in the comics - which the TV show's creators say they will continue to follow and not shy away from - things are going to get much darker.
I agree with you on Shane. He WAS going to the "dark side" shall we say, BUT I still thought he was a good character and added to the storyline.
Btw, since Walking Dead isn't on tonight, anyone watch Mad Men which is in the WD time slot? I use to, but it's been 17 months and it ticks me off to wait so long between seasons.
From what i read in interviews Ivy, there is a possibility for at least 6 seasons.In the comics they will be at the prison for about 3 years which is where season three starts.
There is plenty of stuff on the web with regards to season 3 previews, you should check it out..

Yeah, I've been reading up on what I can. There's enough to give a good idea of what's coming without spoiling it.
This is a very exciting serie. The actors in this serie are "human beings" instead of actors. As they all act natural it's difficult to choose sides. But I was flabbergasted that my favorite character was killed off in the 12th episode of the second season. I'm still not really over that...

Hi TIS, Im missing it too. If you are on Facebook then i would advise that you join the "Walking Dead" page for the latest new on season 3 and other news..
Hi.Guy's I just want to say one word about the show "awesome". This is show which i never miss to watch. And i can surely say that this is not only my favorite but of all viewers who like horror shows.

I'm the biggest horror fan in the world but, I must say, the horror part isn't the biggest reason why I love the series. It could easily be a brainless gore-fest like Resident Evil. But it's well written and directed with good plot and character development.
On July 7th & 8th AMC is going to, as I understand it, recap season 2 and show previews of season 3. On the tv ad they announce they will show the first episode in black & white. It wasn't in black & white when it first aired was it? I don't know if that means they'll show both seasons 1 & 2 or not.
From what I understand, they also will have the "Talking Dead" group with various stars/guests.
I really like this show.Is this is very beatyful tv show. I regular watch these show. First time i watch these show because my friend tell me in this show always doing different when i watch these show i really enjoy.
Have you watched the Webisodes on the Walking Dead, they are six short clips about 20 minutes in total about the walker at the beginning of season 1 who Rick shoots, the girl with half a body who is crawling on the floor.
It's quite good..
Google Walking dead webisodes and you can watch them online..
I have the last episode of last season left to watch. I'm glad I re-watched cause it refreshed my memory and I think I picked up on stuff on hadn't the first time.
Like Shane turning tho he was never bitten. What's up with that? I must admit I kind of got sick of Dale's dislike/dissing of Shane, and yet he was turning to the dark side no? (Still gonna miss his character)
Remember too when Darryl was passed out by a river, (and eventually fought off a Walker) he kept hearing his brother's voice, who was slamming him for not being "tough", etc. I assumed he was just hearing his voice???
Btw, on "On Demand" they show very very brief previews of next season. I get a laugh out of a voice in the ad that says, "Christ said the dead would rise in the end, but I never thought it would be like this."
Another like by Rick "This isn't a democracy anymore." (which is more or less what Shane had been telling everyone.
With regards to Shane turning without being bitten, it's because everyone one is infected already, Rick knew this but didn't tell anybody (remember at the end of season 1 when the scientist whispers him something, im guessing he told him that everyone is affected somehow)..
Daryl was hallucinating with exhaustion and was having visions of his brother.
Oh yea, I remember the scientist whispering "something" in Rick's ear. You might be right. It will be interesting to learn exactly how they all got infected.
With THIS show, it's not even so much that the zombies are scary (cause they aren't especially scary), it's that the storyline is always so intriguing and the acting is good. Oh, and isn't the theme awesome? I love how the music builds in suspense at the very end of the episode. Cool!!
I'm the opposite i love how the theme starts at the beginning of the each episode. Everything about this show is awesome,i'll be gutted when it ends that's for sure,,

DeNiro, just to be clear, I'm with you on the beginning theme. What I was getting at is, when the episode is about to end you hear that same type suspense music building.
Anyway, I too will be disappointed when it ends BUT for now, as long as they keep writing good stories, I'm there.
I am SO glad I re-watched last season. I must have dozed off during the finale. DeNiro you are correct, EVERYONE is infected. I missed where Rick told the group. I still wonder how it is that they are ALL infected.
I see it ended with Andrea on her own, until the new person showed up to save her from the Walkers. I think she is my favorite female character. I assume she survives.
Still gonna miss Shane though (as much of a loose cannon as he was).
Dale was not a bad guy and wanted to keep everyone humane BUT I found him to be a little annoying. He was always interfering with Andrea's life and tho justified, his constant attacks on Shane bugged me. Don't know why exactly, but, no, I won't miss him. Shane, was kind of realistic, facing the facts, and yet was a little too eager to kill and Dale was the opposite IMHO.
Dale was annoying at times BUT it was for the good of the group. Alright, he was a bit too nosy interfering in Andrea's life but then he was there for here when she seemed considering suicide after the death of her sister. Dale is my man and I'm definitely gonna miss him especially his hat. I think Shane was selfish and always pessimistic however he was AWESOME, the kind a character one can love to hate
I DO see your point about Dale (his heart was in the right place) AND Shane for that matter (he certainly WAS a downer for the group.)
I've kind of concluded that the good stories and good acting is what makes this show so appealing to me. I hope they can continue with intriguing storylines, at least for a while.
Oh, plus I see some new faces this season. Can't wait to see it.
I agree Dale was annoying at times but he was a wise character who sussed out that Shane was evil, after he spotted Shane pointing his gun at Rick in the woods in season 1 episode 5. His death was sad though. The most annoying character is Karl by far, he needs to stat listening to his parents and stop wondering off as he was the cause of Dales death..
LOL, Yea Carl is getting a little bratty isn't he? Sort of takes after his mom (Laurie) who I think WANTED Rick to "do something" to get Shane out of their lives. Her character (tho good) is the most annoying female character IMHO. Yet, without all these different personalities, the show wouldn't be as good as it is.
Anyone notice that all the cable tv providers have ads announcing that DISH w/b dropping Walking Dead from their channel line-up, encouraging them to switch over. At least here in CA Dish is dropping WD.
I only watched the last season and am glad I did. I'm totally ready for season III. It debuts 9/14 here. Are you able to see it on-line at the same time?
Also, AMC is replaying season one & two starting 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) with a 5 minute preview of Season 3 at 1:40 p.m.
TIS
I thought it was season 2, but the first season first episode is airing now, with Rick checking out the barren streets and coming across a child "Walker." Damn, I have only seen season one once. I wish I could be home to watch the entire season.
Looks like they found a spacious and at some point, possibly safe haven in the prison. I really feel badly for Rick. It seems he has the weight of what's left of the world on his shoulders. Lori, (and I know she's pregnant) seems unjustifiably pissed at him. She acts like a diva sometimes.
I was shocked at the scene with poor Herschal. He's the only doctor they had and he WAS bitten. AND, Lori's fear about the baby. Could it be a little Zombie baby? Oh and I hope Andrea isn't gonna become a Walker.
Oh, and the ending, WOW! "Walkers to the left of me, Walkers to the right." AND those were "normal" looking people at the end right? To quote the last two words of the episode, "Holy shit."
Btw, it continues to amaze me how some actors can hide their English accents. I had no idea Andrew Lincoln (Rick) was English. You'd never know it by the series. Same true of House (Hugh Laurie). Blew me away. How do they do it. Alex O'Loughlin McGarret from Hawaii Five-O actually is from Australia and has an accent in real life. Just my two cents but I don't know that an American could pull of a successful English accent (Rene Zeilweiger is the only one I know of)
I thought it was a excellent opening episode, it appears Rick now has total control over the group, i just got the impression that as time has pasted(six months) he has manipulated them all and they will do what he says maybe bar Daryl.. I think Hershal will survive even though he was bit, Rick chopping above the bite should be ok.. I got a feeling this season will be amazing..
The next episode we should finally see the new character the prison warden and maybe Merle..
Also the new character Michonne has two walkers chained up behind her has she walks, is this to keep walkers away from her as im not too sure how this would work..

Also to carry things. Did you notice that they have no bottom jaw so they can't bite. That's why I was pissed cuz Hershel got bit. I was asking my son who's gonna deliver the baby now? Can't wait for Tuesday and Sunday nights.

Here to 15 more episodes..
the thing is, they are splitting the season the same way they did for breaking bad so we only have 7 more episodes to look forward to and then a long wait until i believe the summer for the second half of the season. the producers know that they have something good and for that reason they are treating us like patients at a methadone clinic, meaning that they have what we want and we just have to wait no matter how bad the withdrawls get

I think last season we had to wait from November to February but that soon comes around.. Well they have me hooked anyway..

They can't kill Hershel off so early, he has to survive..
This is one of those series when I cannot stand it if an episode ends. It may not be the very best serie in terms of quality, but it's certainly one of the most captivating, if that's the right word to describe it. When watching an episode I'm completely hooked. It's incredibly entertaining.
Why exactly did Rick shoot the two inmates? Granted, I wasn't sure they could be trusted but that took me by surprise.
Good idea Carol (?) had practicing for a baby delivery by cutting up a female walker.
And Hershel. OMG, the way Rick chopped his leg off. Still, I have my doubts he is the same ol' Hershel if you know what I mean. I see Walker in his future.
Lot of tension between Laurie & Rick. Laurie to me is annoying and appears manipulative to Rick at times. Also a good find with all the food/supplies. Thus far, prison seems like the best place for them to hide out.
This show has some really really good acting if you ask me. Love it. AND, who knows what "kind" of baby Laurie will end up delivering.

Another great episode. I like the way it panned out with the prisoners but i think Rick did the right thing by killing the Mexican,he didn't want another Shane on his hands, always looking over his shoulders not trusting him. I dont think we have seen the last of the two surviving prisoners..
Next weeks episode we should finally see the "Warden" as i think it will focus on Andrea and Michonne going by the preview.And i saw a quick glimpse of Merle..
the only complaint that i have so far for the walking dead is that the epidodes aren't long enough! i can't wait for merye to make his first apperance since season #1! my prediction is that daryll and meryle will see each other again soon and meryle will show his true colors forcing daryll to come in conflict with him and possibly kill him for the good of the group as they have become more of his family than his brother imo!
FYI for all Walking Dead fans. AMC is running the first two episodes of season 3 before tonight's 3rd episode, if anyone wants to catch up you're not that far behind yet.
I'm with the Governor for now. He knows that in order for his community to survive, they cannot afford taking any risks whatsoever. That's why he needed to kill those military guys before they would find out about it, and thereby eliminating any potential threat to their community.
This also means that the two woman can never leave. If they decide to leave they will be killed.
I can't say I'm for the "governor." I don't trust him at all. The community did look like a regular "normal" city but I lost them when they killed the military guys.
Do I understand that they want to make (or are researching)some sort of "walker" without the instinct to "attack/eat" but rather to use them as protection of their facility of some sort? Thus, all the heads at the end of the episode? Creepy. OR, am I way off track.

Finally Merle is and back and he's still a bad-ass. It felt strange watching an episode without Rick and the others but i guess we needed an entire episode to introduce the Guvonour.
We was made to feel like the little community was a nice place to be,but the Guvonour has them all brainwashed and he is in total command.. I can see Andrea falling for him and when they are together this is when she will see Rick and loyalties will be tested..
Do you ever watch the "Talking Dead" which is on right after WD. They talk about the episode, take calls, tweets, etc. They had Andrea on one time, and Darryl another and the new girl last week (I can't think of her name). They talk about what happened in the current episode.
As for last night, the aquarium of floating heads was kind of a shocker no? Yea, I don't trust the Governor either. Speaking of Merle, he seemed to be less of a racist/SOB no? He seems to "obey" the governor. First episode ever without Rick in it.
Next week looks good. Do you see the previews? It looks like the prison gets surrounded by more Walkers.
They took a poll on the Talking Dead asking who you would choose to lead you if you were in their situation: Rick, Governor, Merle, Darryl or the new gal (the Black girl). Anyway, Rick won by a landslide.
Also they asked if you were Merle who would you be more pissed at for leaving him stranded on the rooftop, Rick or T-Dog. That was open for opinion.
Why does that Michionne have such attitude for? She is not happy at all. I sorta felt sorry for her walkers that she had to behead. Good season so far.
I called my daughter who doesn't watch the show because I had to tell someone what happened. I'm waiting for DeNiro to give his input but he watches on-line and I'm guessing won't see it til today sometime.
Anyway:
I did NOT see that coming did you? And poor Maggie having to delivery a baby not to mention do a c-section. Poor Carl AND I actually got choked up when I saw Rick's reaction. WOW is right! Didn't expect T-Dog to bite the dust (no pun intended) either.
I'll say it again, the stories are good BUT I think the acting makes this show even better.
I was really surprised that Tdog and Lori died. I thought for sure that Merle would get revenge on Tdog. But he went out as a hero. Do you think that Carol is alive? Rick's reaction just broke my heart. My Son seems to think that Lori is alive IDK.
On the WD site there's clip of cast/crew talking about it. The producer (I believe) said he thought the killing of T-Dog would make the audience think that THAT was the cast member who would die and the plan was we wouldn't see Laurie's death coming...and we didn't.
My Son & Becky are going to a horror convention on Saturday in VA Beach. Tdog, Carl,and I believe Merle some of the walkers are suppose to be there plus people in other horror pic's. Last year My son got to meet Darrel. He can't wait to see them. He's hooked on this show like I am.
I wonder if Carol is dead and what about the baby (btw, was it a boy or girl, did they say?) AND is it a baby-walker???? And the jailbirds at the other end of the jail, are they trustworthy?
I have doubts about the place where Andrea is staying and the nutjob Governor with the floating head aquarium. There's a very interesting storyline when they meet up with Rick's clan.
last nights episode was the best of the season so far imo! no way carol is dead, especially considering the other death(s), can't kill everyone off so fast as they said on talking dead last night that the show has more than enough storyline for at least 7 seasons. there is also always the small chance that lorrie is still alive as we didn't see carl shoot her and it was weird how they just left her without checking her pulse/breathing. even if she is dead there will definatly be some stuff concerning her in the next episode at least so we will have closure. the show is great but it seems to have a totally different feel to me without dale, weird.
Again WOW i did not see that coming, i thought T-Dog would be the first to die but not so soon into the season.And for Lori to die as well, i didn't expect that, Ricks reaction at the end had me a little choked up..
Im with FF on this as we didn't see Karl kill Lori i think theres a chance she maybe alive still, in next week's teaser we see Rick go looking for her and i think that maybe Rick will find her alive.. And i also think Carol will be ok
I'm not sure how they will look after the baby if Lori is dead as there will be no milk for it.
Andrea is now thinking of staying in the community which will bring tension with her and Michonne..
I am STILL reeling from that episode. By far the best one yet.
I don't see how Laurie can still be alive unless she's a walker. I mean she was bleeding to death. Then again, we don't know all about the Walkers yet.
I got all choked up at Rick's reaction as well as watching Carl's & Maggie's faces. So emotional.
I wonder if Maggie will take over looking after the baby. I don't see the baby dying, at lest not right away. And DeNiro regarding Merle. He almost seems like he's NOT pissed off at Daryl after Andrea told him that Daryl DID look for him.
Yea, the Governor's little community seems to appeal to Andrea but not Michonne, who, if you remember,saw blood on that truck that Governor used when he killed those soldiers. She knows something is up. She's a hard person to read because she is so quiet all the time.
After watching the last 5 minutes again, i pretty sure Lori is dead as when Rick turned to Karl crying "why you" Karl didn't move as he looked traumatized..

I didn't catch what Rick said. I'm going to re-watch on "On Demand in about 10 minutes to make sure I caught everything. That was one exciting/surprising/good episode.
In the first part of the episode, SOMEONE puts what looks like meat or animal heart or something gross by one of the prison doors on the outside (I assume NOW that I see it again, to attract the Walkers.) Later, Glenn tells Rick that someone cut the gate open and Rick logically thinks it the prisoners on the other end of the prison. Like Rick said, "who else would it be?"
On another note, Berle's gonna clash with "The Govenor" about going to look for his brother.
This last episode was absolutely crazy in every way!!!
WD is the best show of the crew that I have been watching so far. Boardwalk Empire has been pretty slow recently, and Sons of Anarchy comes under Walking Dead after this last episode.
I've been thinking about that episode all day and just saw it again about an hour ago on "On Demand."
What do you think is up with "The Governor". Is he after power? He's pretty cold-blooded. Why did he kill all those soldiers? He has sort of a Jim Jones" type personality I think. I hope Andrea gets away from him sooner rather than later.

I was wondering this but im presuming it was the other prisonor they come across when when are looking for the generator. Can't think who else it would be, but all we know is that it was a black person as we saw the hand..

For me WD is the best show currently of TV, i've only seen the first season of Boardwalk Empire so cant really say if its better, but they are two differant shows, theres nothing like the Walking Dead...
I was surprised to see the Governor being played by none other than David Morrisey, a crappy British TV actor from the 90's. Where has he been hiding i wonder??
After watching the last 5 minutes again, i pretty sure Lori is dead as when Rick turned to Karl crying "why you" Karl didn't move as he looked traumatized..
That scene was strong!
Is it just me or does the Governor sounds a bit like Liam Neeson?

Now that you mention it, the Governor DOES look/sound like Neeson.

Well I didn't expect it to top last weeks, but still enjoyed it. I re-watched (again) the last episode before this new one. Notice the others' faces as Rick has his meltdown? Nobody said anything but very powerful scene. Poor Rick!
This week after the "Walker Circus" Andrea will be sorry she didn't go with Mishonne. And the weirdness of the Governor comes out more each week, as he combed his daughter's hair. That community is certainly not what it seems.
Oh, I'm thinking the two prisoners are ok don't you?
IMHO tonight's epi was a little lame compared to last weeks. That's all I'm gonna say till others chime in.
It was alright, but i agree it cant compare to the week before. That episode could easily have been a seaosn finale for this or any other show.
SPOILER ALERT
But in this episode we do find out that Glen did actually shoot his mom (Rick found the bullet on the floor where Lori's body was) and then found a walker on the floor full after he ate/swallowed Lori. You could even see some of Lori's hair in that walker's mouth right before Rick killed it.
I learned all of this when I watched the Talking Dead afterwards (first time doing so).
It is very interesting how the story has gone so far, it is not following the arc of the comic books as closely as before which makes the show even more suspenseful/mysterious for people watching it.
That Gov is a big time sicko if you ask me. What do all those lines mean in his notebook? I agree with TIS I think Andrea is sorry that she didn't leave with Michonne. And good for her for killing those walkers. At first I thought she was gonna get a couple like she did before.
I also watched the talking dead last night. I liked that dummy of Tdogs head that they showed.
My Son went to that horror convention on Saturday and he said the line to see Tdog was really long. He said that they had some walkers there. He got his picture taken with that clown from one those rob zombie movies. I forgot his name.
Im at work at the moments i'll give my opinion on the episode later, but the Gov is a ittle crazy dont you think.. I was wondering who was calling Rick as well, very strange..
It now appears that Lori is dead as Rick found the bullet on the floor near to where is body would have been and Rick also came across the walker who eat her af he cut her open, but as wie didn't see her body there maybe a chance shes still alive.
Still no trace of Carol, the group seem to think she is dead but i think she's hiding somewhere...
Two things thatstood out for me was,Glenn showing his true feelings for T-Dog, this is not something we have seen in the past. They really do care for eachohter. And Daryl taking care of the bady by feeding it, he really does have a carering side.
I also think Andrea will come to regretting not leaving with Michonne but i think now she knows that it's not all what it appears to be. As the gate was close behind her..
So it appears the Gov has his daughter(who is a walker) with him in the room, which was strange.
I continue to feel for Rick and though he lost it this episode, I think next week he'll begin to come to terms when he sees the baby & Carl need him.
Will the Governor LET Andrea leave? (Cause I think after the Walker circus she'll want to)
I wonder about Carol too. They never showed her getting killed and I'll bet she shows up (maybe even next season)
And I'm liking Darryl more and more. He's attention to the baby was sweet. He's not an asshole like his brother. Which, btw, do you think Merle w/b looking for him even if against Governor's rules?
I think it's only a matter of time before Merle and Daryl see each other again, but i think it will be against the Gov orders.
I'm thinking that the Gov won't allow Andrea to leave, but i can see them hooking up in the near future as they seem to get getting on quite well.
I've decided that if Rick or Daryl are killed off then im going to boycott the show as they are the best two characters.
I've always liked Rick and never disliked Darryl but he too is becoming one of my favorite characters.
Didn't one of the producers on "Talking Dead" say that everyone was told that "no one is safe" on the show?? Hmmm I really hated to see Shane go but Rick is the leader I don't want him to go either.
Andrea made the wrong decision and she will be SORRY big time! The Governor is a creep!

Me too!
I liked that scene with Daryl leaving Carol's fav rose on her "empty grave".. but she's not dead YET, WHERE IS SHE?! Maybe she found an exit? She can't be lost inside for long??

Did your son meet Bill Moseley at that convention?
Yes those pics are great AND true. She always looks that way. Very mysterious.
However, did you see that episode of "Talking Dead" in which the actress that plays Michonne was on? You'd never recognize her. She has very short hair and looks totally different. She had a very pleasant upbeat personality too.
I saw Boardwalk Empire which is on at 6:00 p.m. here in CA. Walking Dead 9:00 p.m. (Midnight your time) and then it's repeated. Talking Dead is on at 11:00 but I'm not sure I can stay awake for it, so I may watch it tomorrow on "On Demand."
Btw, is there a "mid-season" break coming up for WD?

Yes, two more episodes (Nov 25th, Dec 2nd) and then its a hiatus until next year.
So, the phone calls Rick received were all in his mind? Sort of a therapy to get him thru his grief? It would make sense since nobody's every been able to use a phone since the beginning. Plus, he seems to have snapped out of it.
Next week looks good too, with Michone arriving at the prison and what the hell is Andrea thinking hooking up with the Governor? AND what happens when Merle finds Darryl? They are totally different. Although when the Governor finds out Merle lied about Mishone being dead, he'll probably be disposed of. Oh and Carol IS alive. I kind of thought so.

Looks like Maggie & Glenn are in trouble. I agree with you TIS why did Andrea hook up with that physco sleeze. I'm glad Michonne made it to the prison ok and she brought the baby stuff. Did you notice that Hershel picked up the phone and didn't say nothing to Rick. I really like Hershel. Sad that the show will be ending soon.
i think i've said it here or maybe somewhere else, but conflict between daryl and mearle is unavoidable at this point. my bet is daryl chooses the group, and is forced to kill his brother to protect them.
I knew all along that Andrea and the Governor would get it on, he has her just where he wants her, he pretty much has control of her now..
I agree it's all coming together now, the two groups are slowly coming together also. I had a Lori feeling was still alive but now Carol has been found it confirms she is dead has i thought maybe she had found Lori and also Karl confirmed he shot his mum when talking to Daryl.. Good to see Michonne has found the prison, she would be a good person to have on your side and it seems that they are quite close to the community place..
I just watched Talking Dead after Sunday's episode and am confused as to the phone call that Rick had. I "assumed" he imagined the call and needed the "therapy" of coming to terms with Lori's death. And, Dale picked up the phone and didn't question much when Rick told him about it. BUT, on Talking Dead they had one of the directors on who said we'd find out next episode WHO called.
I look forward to Sunday's show. I want to know what the heck was up with the phone calls to Rick. Plus, with Mishonne finding Rick and the gang, should get interesting. Andrea is gonna be wanting to come back soon, what do you bet?
I started watching this a few weeks ago because my daughter and her boyfriend watch it and they're usually at our house on Sunday night. Her boyfriend read all the graphic novels as well and he said that the show mostly follows them. He knew, for example, that Lori would die when the baby was born and that her son would be the one to kill her.
He also said that in the novels, the phone calls to Rick are a recurring thing

My finger wants to click on to the spoiler but my head tells me not to. I know nothing of the novels so everything is new to me. Btw, how far are you in the seasons SB?
I am so ready for tonight's episode. Carol is back, Andrea is gone (but will hopefully come to her senses), and Rick hopefully will be more "back to normal."
I hate hiatus when it's one of my favorite shows. Seems like it just came back and now it's gone again. DD when does it return again? I forgot? I hope January sometime.
Not too sure when it will return probably February or March , hopefully another show like Mad Men comes back on to tide me over.
I read that The Walking Dead producers either tonight or in the next episode will be introducing a key character from the comics into the show. The person who plays this character appeared in an acclaimed HBO series.
Oh yeah? I know nothing about the comic book, so for me, it's all new. Do you have any idea who it may be DD?
"Appeared in an acclaimed HBO series"....Hmmm Tony Soprano meets the Walking Dead?" Now, that would be an interesting twist no? I wonder who it might be?
TIS
Btw, I watch (and like) Mad Men too and that would hold me over BUT thus far, I must say WD even tops Boardwalk Empire so far this year IMHO.
I know exactly who it is and what character they will play but I wont spoil it for you. I have read about the comic book plot on Wikipedia, which I will suggest against since it might contain tons of future spoilers but the plot is great filled with twists and turns.
I completely agree about WD, this year the show really won me over. BE is good but not at the level of great consistent episodes like WD.
i think i've said it here or maybe somewhere else, but conflict between daryl and mearle is unavoidable at this point. my bet is daryl chooses the group, and is forced to kill his brother to protect them.
True, this is confrontation just waiting to happen and I can't wait. I can't imagine Darryl siding with his brother on anything.
Remember (last season I think) when Darryl was stranded by the creek/river, unconscious(and walkers around.) It was then Darryl was imagining hearing his brother's voice, putting him down and trashing him, that gave him the inspiration to survive. Yet, gotta say, a character like Merle sure adds to the plot. I just don't expect him to last thru this season.

You do? Well thanks for NOT spoiling it for me. I appreciate it. As much as it's fun to talk about, and as curious as I am, I STILL prefer to wait. That's more fun.
one thing i've been meaning to mention, it would be really cool if rick met back up with that black guy and his son from episode 1. while this season has been full of action, it seems to have a much different feel than the first 2 seasons. i haven't read the comics because i don't want to spoil anything, but i hope the show doesn't get too weird. while michonne is an interesting character, i hope she doesn't get any more mysterious as she is starting to remind me more of some dumb superhero than a real person. i guess what i'm trying to say is that i hope the show doesn't stray too far from its roots and start to go in a more fantasy/less practical direction that it seems to maybe be heading! with that said, its still tied with SOA as my favorite show, although SAMCRO has really been amazing this season!
I hear you, and many times these kinds of shows DO go in that direction and get a little far-fetched (ok, zombies in themselves I guess are far-fetched but they ARE the series.) I agree too with you about Michonne and hope to see more of a personality coming from her.
I forgot about the black guy & son that Rick met up with first season til you just mentioned it. I wouldn't rule out that they show up again. We know Rick would welcome them to his group.
FWIW, I still miss Shane. He added a certain "edge" to the story if you know what I mean. We KNOW he won't come back though.
FWIW, I still miss Shane. He added a certain "edge" to the story if you know what I mean. We KNOW he won't come back though.
i was happy when he got his, but now i also miss him, although not as much as i miss dale. when dale died it kinda became the tipping point in my view by removing human logic/compassion, and shifting towards the kill or be killed attitude that rick seems to have fell in line with. what i hope the producers do to do justice to some of the great characters that we lost is do some sort of a prequel/flashback in the next half of the season, kinda like how they showed shane, lorrie, and carl on the freeway, when they met carrol. for example, show what dale was doing when shtf, and how he came to meet up with the group. that would be great for us hardcore fans, and it would also give dale an extra payday as it has got to suck for financial reasons getting killed off early on such a highly rated show.
I thought it was a really good show last night. A few toughts:
I figured Mishonne would be admitted to the group. The fact that she actually said "thank you" for medical treatment was more dialog than usual. Showed a softer side maybe?
I'm glad Rick and some of the group are going to rescue Maggie & Glen AND that Mishonne filled them in on The Governor's group. Poor Glen getting the sh*t beaten out of him.
Speaking of the governor...what an F-ing POS that a-hole is. As if Maggie wasn't tortured enough by the lowlife scumball, Merle, she has to deal with this "Jim Jones" type psycho? I hope he gets chewed up and spit out by the walkers. Andrea will kick herself in the ass once she realizes what a slime Governor is.
On a minor note, I'm glad that Rick let Carl pick out the baby's name. I may have chosen a name of one of the group who were killed but Judith is a nice name too.
I am watching now "Talking Dead." The host asked if Merle was justified throwing in a walker with Glen handcuffed to chair. One of the guests on the programs said "yes."
They also discussed how this is Glen becoming a man and the possibility of him being a "leader." Oh, and I wasn't the only one outraged by the Governor's attack on Maggie.
TIS
Btw, the scientist guy doing that experiment on the Walker that Andrea killed. Was the patient anybody we know?
Sorry for so many posts after one another but I'm watching Talking Dead and want to post before I forget my thought.
They brought up a good point regarding The Governor's community. Andrea went to stand guard with the girl that was suppose to be a good shot, BUT Andrea ended up helping her. Could be indication of this community's shortcomings giving Rick and his crew an edge.
Also, the TD group seemed to think there would be a confrontation between Darryl & Merle (which I am sure we all agree) AND the Darryl would be in he position of choosing between his brother and Rick's group, causing him to kill his brother. Sounds likely. I can't imagine Rick siding with his asshole brother. Yet, blood's thicker??????
Btw, added preview from TD. A hooded girl enters the room where Mishonne is held. The preview ends with Mishonne pulling her hood off but NOT showing who it is? A walker???
Another good episode, it's all coming together for Merle and Daryl to do battle in someway, but surely Daryl will choose the group, but like the Gov said "blood is blood".
I think whatever happens the group will come out on top, surely as they are the main focus of the show. Pisses me off that Andrea is so loved up already she is bind to what the Gov is really like and she can't see it..
Next weeks episode will be epic i think and i can't wit..
As you know I wasn't even aware of this being a comic. For those who know the comic series (and without giving anything away just in case), is the series closely following the comics or not so much? And which is better so far?

TIS
I dont read the comics either,just the wikipedia entry about the comics (warning: dont read it since it has potential spoilers). The show follows the comics at least half the time with a number of key differences (new characters, characters dying off earlier than comic, etc)
I'm guessing he won't get it this episode but hopefully will at some point. I hope Andrea gets a glimpse of the "real" governor so she can get the hell out of there.
Btw, just for further discussion of WD AND curiosity. Isn't the entire cast unknowns? Or, have some of them been in other films/tv. All very good acting IMHO
Didn't see it coming with Mishonne fighting the governor. I did not expect her to kill his daughter. Maybe now Andrea will wake-up. I mean she must think the floating heads were a bit odd no?
I can understand why Carl locked up that new family (tho I think they probably are ok). You never know. I like that they add new people at just the right pace.
I didn't realize the Darryl didn't make it out. Last we saw they were calling him to get in the truck. I did NOT expect Darryl/Merle to meet face to face in the arena. It really IS in Andrea's hands to stop it. She'll have to think fast.
Oh, and I am so glad that Glen & Maggie got rescued.
I'm glad the sleeze ball got a little of what was coming to him. I was hoping when Michonne had the Gov's Daughter that she would use her as a bargaining chip so that they would be able to leave. And I was pissed about how they got Darryl. Did you notice when Rick shot that one guy he thought it was Shane?
I love how the writers are presenting this show. We didn't see it coming when Lori had the baby in the middle of the Walker chaos. The last thing I expected last night was a face off with both Darryl & Merle. I love it!! Like I said, it's probably up to Andrea to stop it.
Yes Mig, I saw what Rick "thought" was Shane and said to myself, "WTF?"
Great episode, this show gets better and better, love the writing..
Hopefully now Andrea has seen sense and knows what the Gov is like.
I been saying to people at work that the mid season finale will have Merle and Daryl coming together somehow and that it would finish this way and it did.. Andrea will somehow have to intervene but if they manage to get out alive i can't see how Merle will be accepted into the group.
I liked how Karl took charge of the situation back at the prison, locking the "new group in the cell area, but it was the right thing to do at least until Rick gets back..
Rick now has a decision to make,go back to the prison or go back for Daryl.
It was also nice seeing a cameo for Shane, but it was all in Ricks head..
I agree the group would NEVER want Merle in their group and who knows, Darryl may not either. Yet, it IS his brother. You know what I fear? The way this show surprises you with main characters dying, I sure hope Darryl isn't next, with Merle surviving.
I agree Andrea likely will need to do something, but what? Perhaps use her feminine wiles on the Governor sweet talking the scumbag into waiting? OR is it possible someone from Rick's group will rescue them?
Oh yes, and what a great idea showing Rick "seeing" Shane. Notice he walked up to the body to make sure?
The new family seems interesting, wont say who but one of them gets hot and heavy with another character in the comics so I wonder if they also will in the tv show.
I have been thinking about the Herschel thing as well, remains to be seen I guess.
did anyone else think that when carl heard that screaming, that carrol was being raped by the prisoner who wanted a piece of beth? also, dapper, enough with all the subtle comic book themed hints ok? if this keeps up, its looking like immamobguy might finally have some work, if ya catch my drift
It is an excellent show. Have you ever tried to explain it to people? It's hard to tell people who have never seen it that is not your average Zombie show (or movie). Know what I mean? It's not the same as "Night of the Living Dead" IMHO or as I tell my daughter who seems to be focused on what the zombies look like and how scary they are, it's not like the Zombies are necessarily always the main characters.
Btw, I think the SyFy (or is it AMC) is now joining the trend and coming out with a Zombie series to I can't think of the title. I hope they don't wear out the theme.

I know what you mean, I just tell people to try it out and watch an episode to see if they like it which a majority of the time works.
Thank goodness none of us HERE are nuts. Apparently this guy shot his girlfriend in the back cause she didn't take possibility of a "real" zombie attack seriously.
GF was taken home and then she returned to his house thinking he might be unstable (ya think) . Police came found two more guns. Thank God for his gun rights but then that's another story.
Boy those Long Island people are really crazy aren't they?
TIS
A Monday argument over the cable television show The Walking Dead ended with a Long Island man firing a bullet into the back of his girlfriend because she would not take the possibility of a real zombie attack seriously.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Nassau County police Detective Lt. Raymond Cote said that 26-year-old Jared Gurman had shot his girlfriend, Jessica Gelderman, with a .22-caliber rifle resulting in a pierced lung, shattered rib and pierced diaphragm, according to WNBC.
“He feels strongly about the possibility that some military mishap could occur causing some tragic consequence,” Cote explained.......
WTF!!! 'The Walking Dead' Season 4 Drama: Kurt Sutter And Others Blast AMC After Series Shakeup
AMC has caused an uproar in Hollywood after announcing that "The Walking Dead" will be renewed for a fourth season, but that Glen Mazzara, the showrunner and executive producer, would be leaving the series.
"My time as showrunner on 'The Walking Dead' has been an amazing experience, but after I finish Season 3, it’s time to move on," Mazarra said in a statement. "I have told the stories I wanted to tell and connected with our fans on a level that I never imagined. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey."
But although Mazzara seemed thankful for his time with AMC, other Hollywood producers feel that he was betrayed. Take Kurt Sutter for example.
The "Sons of Anarchy" showrunner expressed his thoughts on "The Walking Dead" shakeup last night, saying AMC has "no appreciation or gratitude for the effort of it's creative personnel."
Sutter took to his WhoSay account to write:
AMC is run by small-minded, bottom-line thinkers who have no appreciation or gratitude for the effort of it's creative personnel. Time and time again we see events like what happened today with Glen Mazzara. They continue to disrespect writers, sh*t on their audience and bury their network. Mazzara took the work-in-progress that was "Walking Dead" and turned it into a viable TV show with a future. Without him, that future is dim. Showrunners are not development executives, we're not cookiecutter douchebags that you plug into a preexisting model. TWD will suffer. Even Zombies need consistency. "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" will be gone soon. So will AMC. I hope their f**king stock takes a dive and the shareholders line up Sapan, Dolan and Collier and sh*t in their open hands. C*nts.
"Last Resort" showrunner Shawn Ryan also shared his take on Mazzara's exit, posting a series of tweets about AMC's decision.
"Common knowledge that AMC cut Breaking Bad shorter than it should have been. Now you have creative differences w/ biggest hit's savior?" Ryan wrote. "With FX, Showtime, HBO, Starz, Cinemax, A&E, TNT and others to sell to, it's a real question now why good show runners should sell to AMC?"
And upcoming "Banshee" executive producer Greg Yaitanes agreed.
Mazzara was the second showrunner on "The Walking Dead." He replaced executive producer and creator Frank Darabont during the second season. Whoever replaces Mazzara will be the show's third showrunner in four seasons.
"The Walking Dead" returns to AMC with new episodes on Sunday, February 9 at 9 p.m. EST.
I was reading about that yesterday. I am really not exactly certain what a show runner does (I know runs things but still it's confusing)
They keep the same writers, actors,producers, etc? I know Mad Men had some problems between seasons a while back, and it took forever (so much so that I kind of lost interest) for them to resolve it. I don't know if this "showrunner" issue was the cause. The article says that both Mad Men & Breaking Bad will be gone soon. I hadn't heard anything about Mad Men being cancelled.
Anyway, sounds like AMC has some pretty crappy executives or top guns. I HOPE that this doesn't screw up a wonderfully written, well-acted tv show. Maybe they should move WD to another network.
BTW, I don't think I posted this already but AMC is airing a WD Marathon on New Year's Eve. I'm not sure if it'll be from season one but if it's all day I'm guessing it will be. Anyone who hasn't seen the series but is interested,check it out. Don't know that I'll watch all day but I'm sure I'll tune in for a few episodes.
Pisses me off that out of the People's Choice and Golden Globes, WD wasn't up for anything. IMHO: writing, acting are perfect categories. Oh well, still enjoy the show.
Btw, speaking of Karl, I look for that actor to go thru a growing spurt. Don't know his real age, but he'll probably be a teenager by next season. Meanwhile, I'm anxious to see how the Governor goes down because he is downright creepy.
For the Dead fans who can't wait, I just noticed that AMC is airing at least the first season of "Walking Dead" today starting at 3:00 (PST), continuing thru the wee hours. NOTE ALSO that there will also be some sneak peeks at what I assume is the first episode of the new season, "The Suicide King".
Well it goes on thru the night. I'm not sure if it is only the first season or if they'll get to the second. I'm guessing AMC will probably run all the seasons this week since it starts up again on Saturday. YEA!!!
Btw, purely speculation. I know NOTHING about the upcoming season but the title "Suicide King"....The Governor? Jim Jones mass suicide type thing???? Only guessing. Who else would be a Suicide King?
Ok, first season, first episode just started. I forgot how great the very opening scene was. You guys remember? Rick's on the highway, all the cars in middle of the street when he sees a little girl zombie. Then the next scene goes back to before it happened with Rick/Shane talking in the car about Rick/Lori's marital problems. Anyway, can't wait!!
The best scene for me in the whole series is at the end of episode 1 season 1,when Rick is stuck in the tank and the camera pans away at a birds eye view and you can see the walkers around the tank and the city.. Brilliant scene..
I actually watched the entire first season of WD yesterday (beats the Super Bowl) .
No spoilers, unless you haven't seen the 1st season, but a couple memory refreshers:
1. I tend to forget about the Black guy & his son that helped Rick in the beginning. Rick left him a Walkie/Talkie and in later episode Rick was talking to him (in a one sided conversation) not knowing if the guy could hear him or not. I wonder if the guy & son will show up next season.
2. I forgot about Carol's husband and what an abusive asshole he was. After he is attacked by a walker and killed, Carol insists on "finishing him off" and went a little crazy with the ax or shovel she was smashing him with. Paybacks?
3. I sill love the opening scenes with Rick waking from the coma and amazed at the surroundings. I mean really a WTF moment, no? LOL

i hope so, they were two of my favorites and i'm sure there is more than enough storyline to work them back in somehow. rick owes them a favor, so maybe he will save them?

the first episode was the best by far, same with the first season imo. i don't know if its just the storyline evolving, or if i'm missing some old characters(dale), or if all the recent changes with regards to the writers/producers, but the show just has a different feel to it. i think alot of it has to do with these weird characters, the governor and michone, both of which i could do without. i like the more "real" characters, not the mysterious ones. i hope the 2nd half of this season will make up for a still great, but not as great as i was expecting, first half.
I agree. Many times some of these shows DO go a bit off the edge IMHO and I hope that's not the case here. The Governor story IS odd but I'm still intrigued and am gonna wait to see how it goes. Then again don't they have different writers? That could very well make a difference but I sure hope not.
Btw, They did show a couple minutes of the new season and it DID look pretty good (at a glance anyway). I am STILL addicted to WD and will definitely tune in.
I actually enjoy the whole story with the Governor (Michonne not so much), its out of the ordinary and you just never know with that guy cause every few episodes we find something else out that is creepy. I dont mind that some people's favorite characters (like Dale, Lori, etc) have died off because it just shows me that the writers arent worried about what people will think/or how it will be received. They are focused on making sure they pull off the story the way they want even if it calls for killing a longtime character.
But I must say,I am hyped that its coming back on!!! Ive had it with shows that take time off during mid-seasons (like WD, Breaking Bad) or long time after a season to air a new one (like Mad Men).
Yea, like I said, I am intrigued by the Governor storyline at this point and after seeing the brief previews yesterday I too am all hyped to see it again.
Many of the cable shows take very long breaks between seasons however, as of THIS season I'm first hearing of this "mid season" break. That does irritate me. I wish there was not so much time between seasons, let along a break in between.
My daughter was telling me that she saw an ad where you can get a "Walker" app for your cell phone. You download a pic of yourself it'll turn it into a Walker?? Now, don't we all strive for that.
They are advertising that the Sunday episode of WD will be in Black & White. I understand that it gives it a certain classic atmosphere but I still prefer color.
Thanks DD. I don't know why but it was confusing. I KNEW some episodes w/b in black & white.
Btw, I got my daughter & SIL interested in WD. They have seen some episodes from season 2 only, yesterday. It can be confusing without seeing it from the beginning. I'll let them know this schedule.
Wow, I can't believe I'm the first to post on last night's mid-season episode. Though not as disappointed as the person who wrote this piece, I was kind of let down. Don't know exactly why.
Poor Glen, looked like a wreck didn't he? Glad he and Maggie got rescued finally.
The Governor seems to have snapped and become even more scary suddenly not caring about "his" people. And Andrea has GOT to get out of his grip.
Though I do think he'll be back I hated to see Daryl leave with that asshole brother of his BUT I can see both Rick's and Daryl's side (after all it is his brother). That for me, was probably the most notable event in the episode. Daryl is becoming one of my favorite characters on the show.
I hope the ghost Lori doesn't go much further, cause even for a zombie show, it IS a little bit out there. I took those phone calls that Rick got as his "therapy" helping thru the healing process.
All that being said, it is only one episode and I don't think it was a bad episode. After the last couple excellent episodes before the break, maybe I expected more.
I have mixed feelings about Merle being in the group. On one hand they could use his help but on the other can he really be trusted?
Rick is really losing it. He don't want the new people with the group Why? or Michonne. She's an asset imo. Still loving Herschel.
Glad that Glen still has a set. The Gov is still a douche. Feel sorry for Carl. All the crap he's been through losing his Mom and his Dad turning looney.
Andrea needs to get her head on straight and get the heck away from that douche.
I agree with Mig as far as that new group of people that they are keeping locked up, I think all but the one guy who wanted to kill everyone and take over, seem alright to me. Mishone IS a good guy (girl) and I think once Andrea gets back in them mix (I think she will) she'll let Rick and the group know Mishone is can be trusted.
Daryl IMHO probably will have a falling out with his brother. I mean how long would that take? They really are two different and hopefully he'll return as well. I just can't see any logical reason though to let Merle in the mix. The guy's a real asshole. I wouldn't trust him at all.
I fell asleep during "Talking Dead" which was an hour this week. I'm gonna try to catch it soon. Glen (forgot actor's name) is a guest.
I'm sure we'll see Daryl back with the group soon, the only character i would not miss if she was to be killed off would be Andrea. Gets annoying by the episode, she should have escaped with Daryl and merle..
I really liked Andrea but if she sticks with the Governor, she's not as strong a character as I thought. Then again, I take the Governor as a Jim Jones type guy who's followers blindly trust him. Maybe Andrea is the same.
Anyway, I too, like having Rick in charge but he does need to get his shit together. Darryl was a great asset killing Walkers alone. He'll be missed by the group without a doubt.
One other thing that bothers me in the WD is how they never seen to run out of ammo, they seem to use lots but never mention there running low..There must be a big stash at the prison..
Well they do make constant run for supplies. I'm assuming that includes ammo. Must be ammo shops throughout the area no? But yea, when the first found the prison didn't they say they had a decent ammo supply? Plus, Darryl has to be getting arrows from somewhere OR does he make them now that I think about it? Out of wood or something?
I remember seeing Daryl making arrows in season two, but not for a while. In the last episode Daryl did have a bag of arrows on his back when leaving with his brother, not sure when he had time to make them..
Anyone notice how disappointed Carol was that Darryl wasn't coming back?
TIS
Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a surrogate mother of sorts for Rick's baby and then tries to sleep with Rick. Would be interesting to watch. I am tired of the whole Rick/Lori flashback crap.
I think it could be either Rick or Shane's baby. The storyline would make it more interesting, however, if it was Shane's. Don't know IF there will be a way we'd be able to tell as the story unfolds. Then again, remember Lori telling Rick and Shane "it's Rick's baby no matter what?" Maybe she really felt it was Shane's.
Well we don't know IF Shane was the father or not. It may not even come up again in the series and that wouldn't bother me. However, I can maybe see writers pursuing that storyline more than the "Ghost Lori" scenes. I took the phone calls Rick got, and now the Lori ghost, as Rick's therapy. He'll come to his senses (soon I hope) and move on. I hope that storyline fades because I think it's unnecessary don't you?
Btw,my daughter who just started watching, had a good question. What's with all the decayed bodies in the cars during the outside scenes when Rick and gang are walking around. She asked WHY are there bodies and how come they didn't become walkers. IF everyone is infected than everyone should turn no?
That is a good question but i'm guessing the zombies was there just for effect. Was this in season 3?
DeNiro, part was season two. She sort started watching somewhere in the middle Sunday when they were replaying episodes. My thought was that even tho everyone has the infection, NOT everyone turns. Don't know my Zombie history. LOL
TIS
It's funny cause Sunday AMC ran WD all day. She watched when she could (not letting her 3 small kids see it) and she'd call and ask a question. It took me a couple minutes to figure out she wasn't watching the same episode as I was. She was a few ahead. No wonder I didn't know what she was talking about. She has direct tv and I have Time Warner is the only reason I can think of as far as the sequence goes.
Hey guys, re the black/white episodes of the Pilot and others. I wanted to see it again and wanted to let my daughter & SIL know when it's on. According to this, the pilot was on yesterday. I swear I checked several times and didn't see it. I understand it'll be every Thursday?? Am I reading it correctly? If anyone hears of the pilot coming on again, whether black/white or color, can you please alert me in case I don't see it?
I suppose I could send a youtube link but would prefer watching on tv. Thanks
Rick probably goes back to Woodbury to get Andrea or Michonne?...I wouldnt count on seeing the black guy and his son at least in the short term, maybe in some future season/episode.
Good episode, shit is hitting the fan thats for sure. Who was that person who drove the truck full of walkers into the prison? Was it that chick from Woodbury who didnt want to tell Andrea where the Governor was? When I first saw her I thought it might have been Andrea but I quickly knew it wasnt her.
I'm sure one of the governor's people but I hadn't realized it was a woman. Yea, not Andrea for sure. That little ambush really did take me by surprise.
When Daryl show that huge arrow I literally cheered at the tv. LOL
How many more episodes are left this season? I have a feeling once of the major characters isnt going to make it to the next season.
Well this is mid-season and last week returned with episode 9 so guessing roughly 7 or 8 more episodes? You're likely right about a major character DD. A couple possibilities; Glen is so outraged right now he might end up acting and not thinking; Andrea could be a victim of the Governor should she go back to Rick's gang (and I think she will); then of course Merle is so hated anyone could go after him. IF they ever lost Hershel, there goes the medical help. Would make the story interesting... SO, maybe him? The ones I DON'T think will be written out are Rick or Darryl.
I kind of felt sorry for the prisoner that got it while he was talking to Carol. He was just beginning to come across as a decent guy and boom! LOL Good thinking on Carol's part as she took cover from the bullets, shielding herself with his body.
Season 2 has 13 episodes, we have had 10 episodes in Season 3 so far. So I think a good 3 more episodes will probably close out the season even though I wish it was more. I highly doubt Merle makes it into the next season which would be a plus in my opinion, I dont particularly like him. Hershel is a good possibility to go IMO. That would be a crazy thing if he does go.
There "mid season" isn't actually midway then is it? They've had ten then you are probably right 2/3 left maybe. Goes by to fast and there's way too much time between seasons.
once wd is over i can focus on mad men around the corner
DD, I too watch Mad Men but must admit I am losing interest in it because of the time span between seasons. Geez, I probably should watch it all again for a refresher.
I also watched True Blood but that's getting too "out there" and I don't think I'll watch anymore OR at least not necessarily make it a point to watch it. Another long time between seasons BUT TB, IMHO is also losing its steam.
Yea, I should also probably re-watch the last few episodes of Mad Men to get a refresher. I am sure they will re-air the last season again once the new season is about to air
I havent bothered watching True Blood as I have ZERO interest in it.
Yes RIP axel. Rick was almost a walker meal and Darryl and Merl saved him. That was the second group they saved. I hope they don't kill off Hershel. He is doing his best to keep Rick in check. Besides that I really like him.
At first I thought the driver of the van was Andrea to but I agree it's a chick from Woodbury. Still hoping that the Governor get his.
Just finished watching TIS, was a very good episode.
There's going to be 16 episodes Dapper.
That ambush really was something else, did not see that coming. Looks like there in the shit now. Also didn't expect Axel to die,even though he was creeping me out flirting with Carol.
Was good too see Daryl save Rick after there little adventure but im still not sure that the group are going to accept Merle as he can never keep his mouth shut..
Seems that Glenn is now taking charge up while Rick was going crazy and taking charge of the group. And the Governor is brainwashing Andrea even more by sayin "we need you here"
I like Glen and how he's evolved in the series BUT I still don't see him as the leader. I think as long as Rick is (in Glen's words) "roaming around crazy town" I would go for Daryl (assuming he's returned to the group) as leader.
I Liked how Daryl helped out the random people on the bridge, because it was the right thing to do and then he stopped Merle from looting the car. Daryl's character has evolved the most since the start of season 1..

Yes, quite the difference between Daryl & Merle. Darryl commented "but it's a baby" (he heard the baby crying) and Merle of course didn't care.
Merle is such a jackass. Did you hear him tell Daryl (about the people on the bridge)..."they didn't even offer us an enchilada." He is so damn unlikeable he's laughable sometimes.
Yes, Merle DOES definitely make the storyline stand out but I can't see him staying at the prison. I think everyone wants Daryl back BUT nobody wants Merle. So, I think Daryl will stay and Merle will leave.....Maybe go back to the Governor? Wait...then again, the Governor is pissed at him for lying about Mishone being killed. And there's the whole arena fight. Nevermind. He can't go back there.
I forgot to watch the first season, 3rd episode in black & white yesterday on AMC. I swear I scrolled thru the channels and didn't see it. Wasn't it every Thursday? Damn, my daughter and SIL are into it and I was suppose to remind them. They missed the first two.
On another note, I am sure looking forward to Sunday's episode. IF we know anything about WD, something "big" can always happen in the last couple minutes of the episode.
I started skipping Sunday nights and watching it using the On Demand channel a day later. This way, I could fast-forward though all the commercials. Now Time Warner Cable has taken away that feature for the show. Very frustrating. For the hour it is on, less than 40 minutes is actual show. Is anyone else being driven nuts by all the commercials ?
I have Time Warner and as of yesterday it IS still on in my area. Don't know about your area but you have to go to "OnDemand" and Then click "Entertainment" and AMC is on there as well as "Talking Dead." I'll check later to make sure it wasn't just dropped.

thats about the same amount of time for the actual tv show all those 1 hr shows turn out to be
Not a bad episode. With Carl confronting him about his leadership, I think maybe Rick will make a turnaround. Yet if anyone else is to lead, I'd go with Daryl.
Glad the locked up Merle. With Rick telling Darryl if Merle screws up "it's on you", I'm thinking Darryl will keep a good eye on him.
Feel sorry for that family the Governor took in. They don't know what they are getting into to. Oh, and Quiet Carol giving Andrea advice on how to do in "The Governor." Boy, was I thinking that's how it would end.
I am liking Hershel more and more with each epi. He told Rick just how it was and how he needs to get his head together. And I am dis liking Andrea with each epi. WTH is her problem? she had a golden oppurtunity to do away with that douche Gov.
I think Merle will be ok he could've let the walkers in when he unlocked the gate to let Andrea out.
Yea that group don't know what they got them selves into.
And why was Milton wearing duct tape on his sleeves? Can the walkers not bit through duct tape...LOL

i didnt realize that family had officially left the prison, maybe i just forgot? lol
I don't think they showed them leave but remember Rick kind of got mad and said they couldn't stay? I THINK they just left cause I don't remember a specific scene showing them leave either. I'll bet they end up catching on to the governor and helping Rick in the end.

Thats exactly what I remember. It wasnt clear if they were actually going to leave after Rick said that.
I liked how this episode focused mostly around Andrea and her divided loyalties, what her former group think about her and all.

Hershel is the man! He's like Walking Dead's Gandalf! (whatever that means LOL) I guess Andrea still has feelings for the gov.

No they didn't show them leaving, I was like what are they doing outside? and then I remembered that scene. And now that they're aligning with the gov, do you all think the gov will kill them AFTER he gets all the info he needs from them or use them in his attack on the prison?
Thanks DZ. Cool sneak peeks. Looks good. I guess Rick & Mishone are getting along. Well, they don't say a word but they are actually in the same car.
Wonder why they didn't stop for that guy calling for help. (Carl looks a little baffled by that) and last clip looked like they stumbled into a Walker area. The half guy on the ground wasn't the same one that tried to get them to stop was he?
Andrea really does have feelings for the Gov it seems, as annoying as she is it must be hard for her to choose a side as she clearly has feeling for the Gov.
Merle seemed to be Ok this episode, he even apologized to Michonne but i bet that won't last.
I also liked Beths signing at the end. Was it Bruce Springsteen siging after Beth?
I couldnt help myself and did a little digging online (I suggest you dont) but there is a character who will re-appear this episode. Who is it? I wont spoil it.
Is Morgan the Black guy (who had a son) and helped Rick in the beginning?
DD - I appreciate that you didn't give it away. As much as I am curious and like to talk about what "could" happen, I never want to find out beforehand. I like the surprise.
I liked last night's episode. A turning point for Rick IMHO. I agree with comment on Talking Dead that Rick, seeing Morgan's condition, made him realize he had to get past it.
Poor Morgan, his zombie wife killed his son. He's kicking himself for not "getting" her when he had the chance. He's over the edge now. At first I thought he might go with Rick. What the hell does he think his job is? Get rid of all zombies?
Mishone got Carl's approval and I think Rick's as well, so I'm guessing she really IS one of them now.
And, where exactly did Carl get that family picture for Judith? I would have guessed his home but it didn't look like their house?
Oh, anyone catch the very end, with Mishone driving and then making a quick stop after seeing the blood of I presume the poor hitchhiker who they ignored. It wasn't til "Talking Dead" that I realized they picked up his backback right?
I thought this episode, tho only with a few people, said a lot. Curious to know you opinions.
So, the Walking Dead is about an endless stream of zombies?
Ha ha. I guess in a nutshell Oli. Stories are well written (thus far) and the acting is excellent. Then again, if zombie type of movie/series doesn't interest you, you probably won't like it. I guess the only way to know is to see it BUT I'd try to see it from the beginning. I can see an initial reaction, "oh yea another lame zombie" story but it's really not.
It looked like the local bar where Carl got the picture from.
Another good episode with few characters in, good to see Morgan back but sad to see the condition he is in, he really has lost it. Pity that Rick and Morgan didn't say goodbye or shake hands or something just for old times sake.
Looks like the hitchhiker got eaten by the zombies as we see at the end, but i dont really blame them for not picking him up as they cant trust him, that's the sad reality of the position they are in.
I wonder if we will see Morgan again in a future episode?The preview for the next episode looks like things are coming to a head with Woodbury and the Prison. I have a feeling a central character will not make it into the next season.
I wonder about Morgan too. I mean did they just bring him back for this one episode? Seems unlikely but who knows. I wonder if he'll track Rick down (Rick told him they were staying at the prison).
Did you see next weeks previews? Rick and The Governor come face to face.
Does anyone watch Talking Dead? They had interview with actor who played Morgan, and like others in cast, he is British. So is lady who plays Hershel's daughter, and so is actor playing Rick. They all have those thick British accents, it's amazing how they can stay in character so well on show.

I was amazed when I saw first Rick in an interview and more recently the Governor. It is really something how they can hide their accent. It seems like it would be so difficult to do.
I'll say it again since on the subject. Part of what makes WD so good IS that the acting is very very good IMHO.
I forgot about governor being British too. I wonder why so many instead of Americans, since it is filmed here?
As for storyline, I found them leaving hat hitchhiker to die was too heartless. Even though Governor is supposed to be bad guy, he treats people who he comes across better then Rick. Exception is those National Guardsmen, and anyone who leaves. Rick is worse, especially last few episodes. Making those four people leave prison, and letting guy on road go without help.
SPOILERS FOR 3/10/13 Episode (Arrow on the Doorpost)
Don't know about you guys but I liked this episode. It started off good with Rick & The Governor face to face. Is Rick actually thinking about giving up Mishonne to The Governor? He is leaning toward war but is obviously thinking about it.
I get pissed at Andrea for being so blind but have to wonder if she now "knows" what the Governor is doing and is only going with him to get info???? I have a feeling she'll be the one to do him in.
Meanwhile did you guys see a touch of "bonding" (for lack of a better word) between Darryl, Herschel & The Governor's men?
Here's a little background of the shooting of last night's episode "Arrow On the Doorpost" Pretty interesting. I thought I noticed Darryl had a new Bow.
When Rick took a drink of the Gov's whiskey when they showed the Gov. I thought he poisoned Rick's drink.
I like how Daryl took out that walker from that guy by throwing the knife.
Andrea passes up another opportunity to get away from the douche bag. Hershel was funny with Milton saying before you see my stump buy me a drink first.
I don't think Rick will give up Michone to the Gov. He needs her. She is to much of an asset to the group.
I watched Talking Dead after that episode and they talked about how The Governor knew that Rick's baby could have been Shane's. I remember the Governor mentioning Rick's wife/baby but don't remember him indicating that baby might not be Rick's. Did you guys? I'll have to re-watch.
I think that we are lead to believe that when Andrea went back to Woodbury after the prison visit that she spilled the beans. When did she set up that meeting between Rick & the Gov?
The WD website shows this seasons' episode titles and it only goes to 14 episodes making me wonder, is this the finale? Anyway here's the description. Sounds good. I'm guessing one of the Governor's men who were with Herschel, Darrly will be one who flees Woodbury and Andrea has to be the the traitor no??
PREY - The Governor chases a dissenter who fled Woodbury. While the Governor is gone, a traitor tries to sabotage his upcoming plans.
I like how while The Gov and Rick were talking that the others were chatting and seemed to be getting to know each other. We finally have a smoker :), haven't seen anyone smoking since season one but i guess it must be hard to come across cigarettes.
I think there will be war as Rick wont give up Michonne on principle..
Great episode tonight. Things are hitting the fan!
Good to know. I'm patiently waiting. They will re-run last week's episode in about a half hour and then at 9:00 the new one. Glad to hear it's good. Not gonna peek in here until after I see the episode (to avoid any spoilers).

Great episode. The opening scene with Andrea/Mishonne puzzled me at first, til I realized it was a flashback. Glad to see Andrea siding with Rick but The Governors assistant (the geeky guy) sure gave up Andrea easily. Geez, don't trust that guy with a secret. Was it him that started the fire?
Exciting cat & mouse scene between Andrea & Governor in the warehouse or wherever they were. But damn, just as I thought Andrea was home free.....BAM!! Rick looked like he thought he saw something at first, as he was standing guard at the prison. Talking Dead indicated (and likely so) that he maybe thought he was seeing his visions again and disregarded whatever it was he thought he saw.
Anyway, I think it was one of the superior episodes last night. Very good right down to the ending. Didn't you just know as the camera moved in the dark that it was definitely leading to "something?" Love it!!
TIS
Oh, and good move on Andrea's part for leading The Governor to the door with all the walkers behind it.
Found this on the WD site. Which WD character are you most like: It took a while to load, don't know why. Anyway, I took the quiz and was most like Lori. We know how she ended up.
Yea I think it was Milton who started the walker fires. What do you think will happen to Andrea? I think Milton is noticing a change in the Gov. Speaking of the Gov. I think he will be on Talking Dead next week.

I'm most like Rick. Does that mean I'm gonna go nuts to?
It had to be Milton who started the fire, he has finally seen what the Woodbury group are all all about. Thought it was cool how the walkers were still alive even though they was all burnt.
I think we have come full circle in season 3, Karl and Megan where held hostage and now Andrea is and i think Milton will somehow get to the prison to tell the others and they will go and save her and they will have a war while they are there..
My fellow WD fans, check this out. Andrew Lincoln discusses the next episode describing it as emotional, heroic & brilliant. It sounds like it'll be a great finale as well. I get the impression we will lose some cast members.
I did some digging online and it looks very likely that maybe two (at least one) member(s) of the show (wont say who) will not make it into the next season. These last two episodes should be good!
This comment by Lincoln about the finale intrigues me:
Something happens that I find incredibly shocking that relates directly to my character and the prison family. It really came out of left field for me and I never expected it. When I read the script, I was really shocked.
Geez, could HE possibley lose another family member? I'm guessing it will be a major character, but that's only my guess.
I can't see Karl being killed that would be too heartbreaking for him, dout the writers would put him through that. If its a main character then i think Hersal will be the one, but we never never with the WD.
Very good episode last night. Poor Darryl. As soon as I saw his shirt, I knew it was Merle. Btw, I believe that Glen is the only one who didn't lose a family member of the group no? Then again, we don't know much about his past.
I was thinking (hoping) Rick would change his mind about Mishone.
I feel badly for Tyrese and his sister. They have no idea what they are into.
Oh, and a bit of humor how Glen got the engagement ring?
Oh, and just food for thought. When Merle was in the car drinking he was listening to music. I ASSUME it had to have been via a CD since there is no radio broadcasting (at least we are led to believe that). Then again, maybe somewhere in or outside of Georgia, they DIDN'T lose broadcast capabilities and Walkers haven't attacked yet, no?
Is it wrong to feel sorry for Merle,, was a sad way to go for him, was hoping that he would go out a hero saving Rick or something, but he did take out eight men, as the Gov says.I felt sorry for Daryl having to kill his Zombie brother.

There's going to be all out war next week..
I don't think it's wrong. I hated Merle, but in the end it appears he was more or less trying to redeem himself. I think seeing his brother more on the straight & narrow, and observing the tightness/closeness of Rick's people made him think twice. Oh, and I think Mishonne (the most dialog she's had), convinced him to let her go. He wanted to help Rick & the gang by getting the Governor himself. I felt really bad for poor Darryl.
Finale looked interesting. By the previews it LOOKED like the Governor & crew are at the prison but Rick and his gang didn't seem to be there. Hmmmm Looking forward to seeing it.
Btw, starting tonight and thru the week A&E are running WD from season one. If you know anyone who wants to catch it from the beginning, tonight's the night to start.
LOL, yea that Mishonne can really kick some major ass can't she? I like how quickly she got rid of Penny, much to the Governor's dismay. Actually, Rick's crew would be crazy to let her go.
Has we didn't see Merle dead on the floor, but we saw the Gov shoot Merle we can assume he was killed by the gunshot wound, Merle must have turned without being bitten.
Weird how this hasn't really been mentioned since the start of the season by the prison gang since Rick told them the truth about people turning when dead even though they haven't been bitten.

The Governor didnt shoot Merle in the head on purpose so that a walker would bite him and then Rick's group would find him when they got to the location as a zombie.
I didn't care much for Merle, besides this episode honestly. In terms of overall show development and plot progression him and Mishonne are the ones I care for the least.
Your right with your first sentence. But Merle was a good character i will miss him for sure, if you didn't like him its means he's playing the character well in my opinion.
I agree. Merle was a good character, even as despicable as he could be at times. Heck I'm still sorry they got rid of Shane. We are learning from this show that nobody is safe from getting the ax (or should I say "Bite?)
The Governor also is a good "enemy/bad guy." How about that evil whistle he's had lately as he's fixing up his torture chamber and again as he goes after Andrea. Creepy!!
From my previous post in which I provided an article with an interview with Andrew Lincoln (Rick) when asked about the season finale. I wonder what is so incredibly shocking?
That episode doesn't pull any punches. It's pretty much what everyone has grown accustomed to in our season finale. It's carnage, and there is death. Something happens that I find incredibly shocking that relates directly to my character and the prison family. It really came out of left field for me and I never expected it. When I read the script, I was really shocked.
I hope Hersal doesn't killed too,but if i was him i would stay put at the prison as he is no good too the group if they are going to war with only one leg and he will just hold the group up.
That's a good way to do it DeNiro. My daughter & SIL are trying to catch up. They only began watching on season 3. It's on all week but it's impossible for them (with 3 kids) to see EVERY episode. They both do really enjoy the show though.
It really has become one of my favorites, if not THE favorite. I love it.
I knew Milton was going to get killed, but Andrea surprised me! The first half of the episode was good, but then the second half after all the fighting and the Governor's massacre it wasnt that good in my opinion. They should have resolved the Governor storyline this episode instead of letting it go into the next season. I enjoy his storyline but the next season should have started fresh with a new adventure kind of like this season did with the prison. Bringing all those elderly,small kids to the prison is not a good idea (I could be proven wrong).
I found that this episode flew right by and got into every minute of it. I do agree (wonder)though, wondering what is left for the Govenor? The two guys left (the ones that got in the truck with him) seemed more afraid than "with him." The guy is totally psycho now.
I wonder if the brother & sister team at Woodbury got to escape. I think they'll go back with Rick. I can't imagine all those old people surviving the prison. I'm guessing maybe one final attempt by the Governor will end his character next season. YET, we know WD enough now to know anything is possible.
I'm glad Tyreese wised up and figured out what a scum the Gov is. I'm wondering what he will do know? He only has his 2 men with him now.
Are you all surprised that Andrea took her own life?
The actor who played Tyreese was on Talking Dead where I just found out the character is a part of the comic book series of WD. I'm thinking he'll be around for at least a few more episodes. Maybe his sister won't????(guessing).
I sure am sorry to see Andrea go. I think it sounds like Andrea to want to "do it herself." She knew she had to go wanted to be the one to do it. I loved how she evolved into a character who wasn't afraid to kick ass. Tho, I suppose the real kick ass female would have to be Michonne. Truth is I would have guessed Michonne would go before Andrea. Then again, part of the greatness of this show (beside the excellent acting) IS you really don't know what to expect.
Felt sorry for Andrea in the end as i grew too like her character, i guess she took her own life as she didn't want to turn into a walker.
The Gov really had lost it in the end killing all those people, not sure now what will happened too the Gov in season 4 as he's only down too him and the other two. I would have took him out while i had the chance as you can't trust someone like that.
Karl didn't seem please when he saw all of the people get off the bus and i think we will see a totally different person in season 4 and will resent his dad Rick. Tyreese and his sister will probably meet up with the group and will become season regulars replacing Andrea.
Excellent season, pity there will be no more Merle and roll on October when season 4 will be back.
Yes, I think Karl's demeanor might be an interesting aspect next season. Another challenge for Rick. I read somewhere a couple weeks ago that baby Judith will play a larger role???? (FWIW)
So, to start me WD withdrawal I will likely tune in to Mad Men which I actually have been watching since it began. However, it's been so long since it went off I should refresh my memory. Gotta say though, I am nowhere near as enthusiastic about Mad Men as WD.
Not sure what role Judith can play seeing as she's a baby..
I wonder how old Judith will be next season? Still young but I agree, don't know what role she'll play UNLESS she gets killed or turns out to be a Walker (who can't walk yet)
When I browsed around for info, I read only that little tidbit but the article went on to suggest spoilers so I closed link. I hate knowing what's gonna happen, but love speculating.

The Governor didnt shoot Merle in the head on purpose so that a walker would bite him and then Rick's group would find him when they got to the location as a zombie.
If someone dies or is killed, unless they are shot in the head they will turn (regardless if they are bitten or not)because the virus (as we learned from the CDC Doctor at the end of season 1) is in everyone.

Hey Cardi, how the heck are you? I was worried that maybe Michonne took you and was using you for her pet or something. Glad to see you're a WD fan. One of my favorites. Hope all is well with you.
Welcome back Don Cardi!! What are your thoughts of this season of WD?
Hey Miggy! I thought that overall it was a pretty good season. In my opinion one of the high points of the season was that they finally showed us that the character, Morgan Jones, was still alive.....although a completely transformed and changed man from season one. There is no question that his whole demeanor and his morphing into a cold blooded person was a wake up call to Rick in that he (Rick) saw himself in Morgan. I believe that his encounter with Morgan is what lead him back to the road of once again being a leader with a heart who valued the opinions of others and away from becoming the uncaring cold blooded bastard that he was quickly becoming.
Oh, and I am glad that they finally axed Andrea. She really was beginning to get on my nerves!

TIS
Hey there Lady! All is well. Its been a really really busy winter for me. As for Michonne, I actually was hiding out in Sicily, at Signor Vitelli's place, until some things were cleared up and straightened out. (oh sorry, wrong movie / show)
I agree with you DC about Morgan. And it was sad that his walker wife killed their Son. I also feel that Hershel also brought Rick back to reality.
I was a little sad that they killed off Andrea. I hope when the new season starts in October that you will be able to post your thoughts of the episodes.
I finally watched the last 2 episodes the other day that i had on tape. Wow!! All sorts going on, Merle out with a bang, Andrea gone, the Governor still at large and crazy like a fox, Karl turning into a little shit!!!
Just another reminder for my WD buddies, AMC is repeated all seasons the next 3 days. OR for anyone who hasn't seen it but wants to see it from the beginning. It starts at 1:00 (at least here in CA) and season 1 will run twice today (had only 6 episodes). I'm sure I won't catch all of them, but I plan to watch a couple episodes at least. It's so long til October.
I didn't catch the Rick/Shane one tho I did watch a few episodes yesterday. Btw, I remember them making black & white episodes but which ones? I don't think I saw the B&W ones?
I saw a black and white episode and i wasnt really a big fan of it, im not saying it was terrible bc after all its still the walking dead, but i prefer the original color version.
I'm not watching ALL the episodes but have caught a few. I really think the episode where Laurie had the baby AND the episode where the Governor captured Glen are both excellent.
I'm gonna miss not seeing Andrea kick ass.....but then we do have Mishonne who is pretty damn good at slicing/dicing Walkers.
Wow looks like season 4 is gonna be very intense. Ya just by that clip the zombies do look more aggresive. And it seems that they are going to bring the show back towards the basic survivalsit theme which im happy about because the whole our group vs your group thing from last season was getting very old.
Plus, a lot of new faces (from Woodbury). I really am looking forward to it.
Btw, I'm pissed that it wasn't up for not even one emmy. I read WD was the #1 watched cable tv show last season. I watch quite a few cable series and this one, without a doubt is my favorite.

Just to be sure TIS, you do identify with the non-zombies, don't you?
Ha ha ha ha!! Yea, I consider myself among the living most of the time. However, there are times when I've had very little sleep and feel like a Zombie.
Ya i agree its ridicouls it wasnt even nominated. To me all the amc shows are the best, breaking bad, the killing, the walking dead espicially though. Its gonna be a long wait until october...
I don't watch Breaking Bad but have heard good things about it and that one was up for at least one emmy. Mad Men was as well, but IMHO, it lost a lot of its appeal last season.
Ya i dont watch mad men but my mom does and she said after the last couple of seasons at has really started to go down hill. I tried to watch a few episodes with her but i thought it was just kind of an odd show, it wasnt exactly funny and the whole pace and mood of the show was a off putting. Maybe it was just a bad episode i watched.

It IS a different type show. I guess that is what was appealing about it in the first place. I do think tho, it's the kind of show you either like or don't like.

Ya thats about what i got from it. But i do think they did an excellent job recreating the era. Between the clothes, the gender roles, and portraying their industry as it was back then was great. I wasnt alive back then but i think it was pretty spot on.

Absolutely Dellacroce. For me that is the big appeal. The 60's is my era and I can relate to not only news events/atmosphere of the era (ie starting with JFK assassination and knowing that RFK & MLK assassinations were coming up and later the 67 riots) to the Rolling Stone concert, pot smoking scene. Not to even mention fashion of the time.
I suppose we are on the wrong thread aren't we. Unless of course they have Don Draper turning into a Walker next season.
And, you weren't alive then? Why you youngster you. Damn, I'm old.
Haha ya definatly got off topic, but i may be young but im a big fan of the classic rock especially led zepplin and wouldve loved to have seem them at their height, as for getting older i wouldnt worry about it, im sure that was a great era to be alive, and im sure youve kept your looks too (not to sound creepy or anything)
Robert Kirkman confirmed that a new set of webisodes were in the works during Comic-Con, but now it has been officially announced by AMC. We’ll get three new webisodes next week, starring Ashley Bell, Wyatt Russell, and Ellen Greene:
“AMC’s award-winning “The Walking Dead” webisode series returns to www.amc.com and AMC’s YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/amc October 1 with three new installments. The newest series – “The Oath” – was executive produced, directed and conceived by Greg Nicotero, executive producer, director and special effects makeup designer on the hit show.
In the three webisodes (7 to 10 minutes each), the lone survivors of a massive walker-attack, Paul (Wyatt Russell, Cowboys and Aliens) and Karina (Ashley Bell, The Last Exorcism), speed across the countryside, frantically searching for an aid-station, as one of them slowly bleeds out from a wound. Finally coming upon a hospital that has not been overrun, at first feels like a blessing, but could soon turn to misfortune, as a seemingly benevolent doctor (Ellen Greene, Little Shop of Horrors) may hide a darker agenda.
Right on the heels of directing season 4’s premiere episode, Greg Nicotero focused his sights on the most ambitious “The Walking Dead” webisode series yet. “There’s walkers, gore and new threats lurking around every turn — all the elements that fans ‘The Walking Dead’ will love!”
Nicotero further commented, “The webisodes give us a unique opportunity to see other parts of the ravaged world of ‘The Walking Dead’ while weaving in and out of our show. The crossover between ‘The Oath’ and ‘The Walking Dead’ ties in one of the most iconic images from the series, and gives us insights and history to yet another timeline. I had worked with Ashley on The Last Exorcism and brought in Wyatt and Ellen, who rounded out the brilliant cast perfectly.”
“‘The Walking Dead’ audience is passionate and enthusiastically interacts with the show and other fans online. Being able to develop new ways for them to experience the world of ‘The Walking Dead,’ like these webisodes, is a no-brainer,” said Mac McKean, senior vice president, digital media, AMC. “They tell a great story with high production values, and they perfectly complement AMC’s extremely popular ‘The Walking Dead’ digital experiences — games, second screen experiences and interactive content.”
The previous two seasons of amc.com’s “The Walking Dead” webisodes have won back-to-back WGA, Streamy and Webby awards. The webisodes are produced by Alloy Digital/Generate with Chris Pollack, Jared Hoffman, Greg Nicotero and Michael Petok serving as executive producers.
Hyundai continues its partnership with AMC and “The Walking Dead.” From the iconic Kiwi Green Tucson to Hyundai’s growing fleet of Zombie Survival Machines, including a fan-designed version to be revealed at New York Comic Con, the brand continues to play an important supporting role in “The Walking Dead” fandom.
“It’s great to extend our partnership with AMC again for ‘The Walking Dead’ webisode series,” said David Matathia, director, marketing communications, Hyundai Motor America. “We know fans can’t get enough of ‘The Walking Dead’ world and we’re excited to provide unique content before the start of the season.”
“The Walking Dead,” the most watched drama in basic cable history, returns for another terrifying and exhilarating season on Sunday, October 13th at 9pm ET/PT. In this highly anticipated new season, we see Rick and the group of survivors fostering a thriving community in the safe haven of the prison. Sadly, in this brutal world, happiness is short-lived and walkers and outside threats are no match for danger brewing inside the fences. The group’s home and new way of life will be thoroughly tested, and their struggle to survive has never been so perilous. Season 4 also introduces several new characters including Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr., “The Wire”).
The premiere episode entitled “30 Days Without An Accident” was written by Scott M. Gimple and directed by Greg Nicotero.”
Heads up to WD fans. Tonight they are running first 3 episodes (season 1) of Walking Dead. AND, don't forget, Sunday is the day. I read (forgot where) that this season will have 13 episodes and (as usual) a mid break after the 6th episode. I hate those breaks.
I hope they clear up what happened to the Governor and his two remaining men. I won't be surprised if at least one of his men, or both, leave him and try to rejoin people of Woodbury who moved to the prison.

I read that the Governor WILL be in the new season and be even meaner. From all the clips Ive seen, sounds like a lot of new people(from Woodbury I presume) Also, one of the previews shows Herschel commenting to Rick that they've "lost so many of their own." AND, I read that Rick is concerned with how cold Carl has become and will try to help him.
****POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE UP TO DATE WITH THIS SHOW****
I re-watched the episode last night when Shane busts open the barn doors.......
Click to reveal..
...and no matter how many times I watch the ending of this episode I am both horrified and saddened when little Sofia comes walking out of that barn. The reaction by everyone, especially her mom Carol and Hershel, is just heartbreaking. Then looking at Rick's face knowing that he has no choice but to shoot her is just horrifying. The acting on this show is just superb!
Hershel is a good charterer but i often wonder how long he's got as seeing as he's only got one leg,all it takes is one fall.
DeNiro, FYI, I read (forgot where) that this season Hersel will have wooden leg (stump) and will lose the crutches.
TIS
Btw, Yahoo is running this story comparing series to comic book. I have never read the comic book and didn't know it was based on it til later. Anyway, it DOES have a possible spoiler (which I'm kind of sorry I read) BUT as the article says, the tv show does NOT necessarily follow the comic book exactly. So if you know the comic book, it shouldn't be a surprise, if not: READ AT THE RISK OF A POSSIBLE SPOILER.
Here's a story about what to expect in season 4. There are NO spoilers but cast info and minor story tidbits (including Herschel's new leg). Evidently there will be 16 episodes with a break after the 8th.
Pretty good episode. Like DeNiro says, lots of new people to get to know. Wasn't sure about the creepy lady in the woods. She looked like she was in the middle of "turning." I never actually saw what was in that bag tho. However, Talking Dead said it was a head and I assume it was since she wanted food to feed the head.
I thought the zombies crashing the store was a great idea. Notice too, how bombarded the prison is with Walkers. I wonder where they all come from?
Oh, and how about the ending? The young kid? How did he turn? Is that the case of "everyone's infected" and he didn't have to be bitten to turn? He reminded me of Harry Potter kind of.
Anyway, I enjoyed it and look forward to next week.
She told Rick that her and her husband were starving. I don't think you have to get bit to turn. I think you just have to die. That last scene where that showed that kids face very freaky.
Did you notice that Hershel's Daughter didn't seem to be affected when Darryl told her about her BF dying?
DeNiro, I was wondering about the pig and the Harry Potter kid too. I didn't see the kid get bitten/scratched. How did he turn. I'm only speculating here, but maybe pig was infected (somehow?) and maybe other food? Thus, Potter ate it and turned. This could lead to a storyline where the group tries to determine who ate what and who will turn? Remember there was at least one comment about how nice it was to have good food?
I like Darryl too. He & Rick are probably my favorites, tho Michonne is pretty good kicking ass. I still maintain that the show is filled with really good actors.
Yea Mig, Herschel's daughter (Beth?) seems to have gotten very nonchalant about people dying. Kind of immune to it.
Impressive viewing figures, goes to show how popular the show is. I did my usual on line streaming..
Good point. I have read comments where some say they recorded it and will watch later. I wonder if when they rate these shows, with all the different ways to watch them, if it's considered.

Could they be getting it just breathing in the air?
Btw, notice that Carol is teaching the "class" how to use a knife? Carl didn't take to well to it. Think he'll tell his dad? Actually, in the case of a zombie apocalypse, it might be a good idea no?
"As Rick goes about his business of tending the crops, he’s listening to some music, which helps to set the new tone for Season 4. Here are the lyrics: “As I travel down life’s pathway, knowing not what the year’s may hold. As I ponder, hopes grow fonder. Precious sacred scenes unfold. Precious memories how they linger. How they ever flood my soul.” For those wondering about the title of the music, the song that Rick is listening to is a gospel hymn called Precious Memories. The song was written by J.B.F. Wright in 1925. There are a couple different versions of the song, and it has been recorded by numerous artists, including Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, George Jones & Patti Page, Jim Reeves, Aretha Franklin, Ronnie Milsap and Bob Dylan."
For some reason, it took me a minute to realize Rick had earphones in his ear. I would have never known the song as C&W is not my thing.
I did watch the episode again tho yesterday just to see if I missed anything. As far as the Potter kid dying after drinking water, notice the very very first scene, Rick comes out and drinks water from the barrel. Don't know IF that means anything. Yet the kid was sick before he drank the water.
Plus, with the dead pig I think something is in the food or water. Maybe something (virus) could be in the garden????? Just speculating.
The nutjob lady in the woods, to me was just that. Losing her husband/boyfriend sent her off. Not quite sure what her purpose was, if any.
How the hell did all the zombies get onto the roof of that store???
With the helicopter up there I'd say they were people that died in the crash maybe?
Exactly.
As for the crazy lady in the woods, I think that it had a deep meaning to it....perhaps Rick relating to her in the sense of his love for Lori and his keeping her alive with his hallucinations about her and this lady's love for her husband and her sense of keeping him alive by feeding him. Just my take on that whole plot with Rick and the crazy lady.

that was a lot of zombies to come from that helicopter but ok i guess. i think the kid just caught an infection and died, and its been pretty well established that when you die you turn, regardless if you were bitten or not.
...that was a lot of zombies to come from that helicopter but ok i guess.
It's very possible that when that helicopter crashed, some in the store, rescue workers, etc. went up to the roof to try and save people and then were bitten by those who perished in the crash who turned into walkers. That could explain why there were so many walkers on that roof.

Seriously though, I intend on re-watching the episode tonight. Lots of little occurrences in this episode that may turn out to be significant somewhere down the road.
As we learned in the last episode of the first season, everyone has the virus living inside of them. And up until now a person had to either get bit by a walker to turn into one or die before turning into one. This sheds a new light and something tells me that it may have something to do with what the boy and the pig both may have ingested. We will see.
Yea with a full helicopter (I'd say 6 or so) and possibly others went up like DC said, it is not entirely possible you have 12 or more there easily. I never tried to count but when I seen the chopper that was what I assumed when watching the show.
At this point it is just hard to figure out Harry Potter, did he just have some illness and die? Did he eat something tainted? They left a lot to be answered which is way I like shows like that.
Just to add another thought that I had. Is it possible that if a gnat, mosquito, fly or tick bites a walker and then bites a living person that the person can slowly get sick as the virus begins to escalate inside that person and they eventually turn?
And is it possible that a mosquito or gnat bit a walker and then somehow got into the food that the harry potter kid ate which triggered the virus to start spreading within the kid, eventually turning him?

I already love where this season is going.
I do too DC. And, at this point, I'm guessing your theory IS possible. At first I thought the water, but I'm thinking more the food (maybe the dead pig is a clue?), since at the very very beginning of the episode, Rick walks outside and the first thing he does his drink water from the barrel and at least thus far, he hasn't been affected.
Anyway, is it possible that IF this Potter kid had the virus, the group would conclude it came from inside causing everyone at the prison to be suspicious of everyone else. That would be an interesting storyline.
I got my daughter into WD last season. She did a quick catch-up and saw most of the episodes. She loves the show. BUT, she sees it at 6:00 and I see it at 9:00. She has ATT-Uverse, I have Time Warner cable. Only thing I can think of is her company airtime is from back east and mine the west. It drives me nuts tho. Season finale last year she saw it before me and knew not to tell me about Andrea but it was driving her nuts and she wanted me to call right after. I LOVE this show!!
I'm leaning toward thinking the food as well. Don't forget the sick (dead) pig. Don't know what hey fed it but same thing that killed the kid maybe killed the pig. Good chance we'll find out more Sunday.
Which leads me to this scenario.....what if next week all these people in the group who ate the deer meat, start getting sick and turning? Nobody would know who to trust. That would be chaos.
I remember reading stories about this season and how the group wasn't safe "in" the prison. Plus didn't Herschel say in a preview that they "already lost 12 of their own?" What do you think??????? See I should be a WD writer.
I can't wait for tonight's episode! I also watch HOMELAND with my wife, which is on at exactly the same time Walking Dead is. So I DVR Walking Dead, watch HOMELAND with my wife and then I watch Walking Dead right after HOMELAND ends.

Hey DC, I am looking forward to it too. Definitely one my my favorite (if not THE favorite)shows on tv.
Who's feeding the walkers with the rats? Someone is sabotaging the prison and compromising the safety of all those in the prison. One though that crossed my mind is that the Governor may have a mole or two living inside the prison.
As for Michonne.......
Click to reveal..
at first we see her not wanting any part of Judith. She seemed to shriek when Judith was crying. Then later on she initially refuses to hold Judith, but then all of a sudden, as if giving in to her inner feelings, Michonne takes Judith and then instinctively cradles her like a mother would and breaks down crying! So it is quite obvious, at least to me, that she may have lost her baby when the plague hit. After all we really don't know anything about her background.
The writing for this show is great. Think about it. It may be a horror show about survival, but the writers are so good that they actually make the viewer care about the characters. There were two scenes over the years that stand out in my mind that choked me up :
The first when Rick collapsed after realizing that Lori was gone. And the second when little Sophia came out of the barn as a walker. The hurt on her mothers face, on Ricks face knowing that he had to be the one to take her out, the look on Shanes face after realizing that he opened a can of worms, and the hurt on Hersheal's face finally having to admit that the walkers were not sick humans. You could feel the hurt yourself when watching those scenes.
It's true we as viewers care lot about the main characters, i do miss Shane though, he and Merle are the only two i was gutted to see killed. Both bad guys, but good bad guys..
I think out of the main characters to die this season as one or two always do in this show, it will be Beth or Megan or even Hershal..
Another good episode. And, I agree with you DC and have always said the acting is great and the story (writers) deserve big kudos IMHO. Re Mishonne, I was wondering the same thing. AND it is possible that the Governor may be behind this virus somehow?
DeNiro, I'm with you on Shane as well. He wasn't a good guy in the end necessarily BUT something about his character added to the story .....or something. Can't put my finger on it, but I liked him.
Btw, found this nice article about last nights episode talking about the piglets. But, click on the video link and it's about 5 minutes of cast/crew discussing last night's episode.
SPOILER IF YOU DIDN'T SEE LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE (10/20/13)
Reading along the lines of the paragraph below i can only presume its the guys sister who will not make it..
"The footage we saw from New York Comic-Con ran just a bit longer than the above clip, so while we won’t spoil everything for you, suffice to say Daryl and the others won’t be able to back out of the encounter too easily. Not to mention, other footage we’ve seen of the battle doesn’t look too good for at least one of the occupants of that car!"
I think the new guy that's the medic is the mole.....He just don't sit right with me.....and I believe that the virus is spreading the way it first began before the world fell apart, presumably from animals. They have their own little city within the prison safe and sound then all of a sudden one of their own gets sick and dies which is probably how it started in the first place.
Carol! Wow! I didn't suspect her at all. Although I did, for a slight moment, have a feeling that it might have been her who burned the bodies when Bowman tells her that she is the only one that cares and that he trusts. The big question now is did she burn them after or before they turned? Personally I think that she did the right thing either way.
Another excellent episode. Yes, DC, I wonder about Carol as well. AND, I wanna yell "NOT GLEN"??? Also, with Darryl/Mishone/Tyreese little surprise on the way to get supplies, I'm wondering if medication will get to the prison on time. I've had a car stuck in snow before but must admit never in "walkers."
Btw, in last week's episode they showed all the dead rats which I assume is to blame for this "virus" in some way. Do you all think like I do...It has to be the Governor, no?
Btw, on a humorous note, I see that AMC is having their "FearFest" this week. Coming up???????? "Flight of the Living Dead." Tho he's not in it, I just have to picture Samuel L. Jackson saying "I am sick and tired of all these MFing zombies on a plane." I actually didn't mind Snakes on a Plane but so many of these movies are so lame that they are comedies.
I think it was a miracle that Tyrese wasn't killed by the walkers as he was surrounded at one point..
Tyrese wants Rick to find out who burned the bodies, now that he knows who did it will he rat out Carol? I doubt it. He lucked out I thought for sure he was gonna get bit.
Ok, I know George Romero has had his hits and his style BUT he is actually dissing The Walking Dead as a soap opera? WD is way better than his couple hit zombie movies IMHO. He said he refused to direct a couple episodes. Do I smell sour grapes?
Well??? Did you guys see yesterday's episode? Not too bad. There certainly was ONE surprise anyway hu? I won't post too much in case you guys haven't seen it yet. No spoilers.
I thought it was a good episode certainly better than last weeks. I like the episodes where they go on runs away from the prison.
I thought that Rick and Carols heart to heart were good and we can see now how much Carol has changed from season 1. Rick was brave to send her on her way but i can see why he did it, but im sure she'll be back. What was with the two random people they met in the house, was it the girl who we saw being eaten, i wonder what happened to the guy.
It was the girl being eaten, you could see the tattoo on her leg when Rick opened the door. Him and Carol were waiting on the guy to come back at the house they found them in, he never came back so nobody really knows at this point if he is alive or not.
For some reason I have a feeling the boy (Sam) is alive. I think Rick giving him his watch has some significance tho. They may find a walker with his watch or something?
I do understand Rick's decision on Carol but I also think she'll be back to the prison. However, they better lock up Tyrese. LOL He's a loose canon right now.
Tyrese dies eventually I think, either by walker (him being drunk) or something of the like.
I agree with you as well TIS, I think he is either alive or he does become a walker with Rick noticing the watch. We'll find out soon enough as I think the watch gave it away. With Carol we haven't seen the last of her, but how will she be back? That is the biggest question so far.
I still think it's the Governor, or his men, that is putting the rats in the prison. He's gotta be really pissed at Michonne for killing his daughter (well, his dead daughter) and we know he hates Rick as well. He's gotta rear his patch-eyed faced sooner or later.
I'm sure Carol will show up again. Maybe with the Governor?
TIS is right Tyreese is a ticking time bomb. The way he whacking at those weeds. I think Rick had no choice but to send Carole packing.
Bob is gonna have to walk the straight and narrow. I was trying to figure out what movie I know him from and I couldn't figure it out till my Son told me it was The Waterboy.
I didn't think about possibility Carol teaming up with Gov. What an interesting concept. She's turned a bit cold but don't know if she's that bad.
Another issue (simply for sake of conversation) is the comparison (and they covered this on Talking Dead as well) that Rick shot Shayne being equivalent to Carol killing Karen & the other guy (name escapes me). I consider Rick's killing of Shayne more self defense, don't you guys? Tho I understand (kind of) Carol's thinking, I don't know that you can compare the two as equal. I mean she then set them on fire.
I'm very interested to see where they will go with Carol. My question is did Rick send her away for her own protection? Or did he send her away because he's really afraid that if, as he said, one of his children were to get sick, that she would kill them?
Either way I thought that THE WAY that he put her out there, on her own, was a bit cold and not well planned! He basically left her out there with God knows how many walkers, to fend for herself all by herself!
If Ricks intention was to protect Carol from any backlash, then he could have picked a place, one of those houses or something, and told her to hide out there until things cooled down back at the prison, and then he would come back and get her.
He put her in a very vulnerable position. I wouldn't be surprised if she does somehow cross paths with the governer.
Bob is gonna have to walk the straight and narrow. I was trying to figure out what movie I know him from and I couldn't figure it out till my Son told me it was The Waterboy.
I called him Tyrese in an earlier post and meant to say Bob. Sorry y'all.
Mignon, he played the kicker on The Waterboy. Even though the movie had a horrible plot, it was actually funny and worth watching.....lol
I think about what a surprise it was seeing Andrea go last season. I think it's "possible", perhaps, that we'll see Carol as a walker outside the prison fence?? You really don't know with this show, which is one of the reasons I like it (even tho I hate to see some characters go.)
Just saw this Yahoo article with an interview with executive producer, Gayle Ann Hurd. Pretty interesting. I does give some insight without spoiling anything IMHO. I did watch the clip from next week's episode. Looked good. There are several links within the story. I have not checked them all.
According to Hurd:
There are lots more twists ahead, and you will not see them coming. "I assure you of that," Hurd says.

I don't think carol killed Karen and David, I think she was covering for that little girl lizzie, the one who couldn't stab her father in the head. the way she asked for the girls to come with her when rick banished her, or the way she was not really trying to defend herself from rick banishing her. I'm pretty sure its that same girl that was feeding the rats to the walkers on the outside of the fence too.
there is one thing that is bugging me. they have gasoline, or hell the zombies have clothes on even..instead of wasting energy stabbing zombie heads with crowbars and what not in shifts, why dont they just lead them all to one spot and set them on fire?
just seems like that would be more efficient and give them a little breathing room inbetween mass killings.
One thing that bothers me is they never seem to be low on ammo. And Daryl's bow is such a waste as it takes him at least 30 seconds to reload. My weapon of course would Michonne's samurai.

I always assumed the times they are out on their supply runs, It includes ammo. With all the empty businesses/bldgs around, it doesn't seem like they'll run out soon as long as they can travel to different places.
What an episode. Loved it! The writing gets better and better each week.
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT ** POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT
Did anyone notice the look that Rick gave Carl when they were standing side by side taking out the walkers? I don't know if it was a look that expressed his being proud of Carl or of being disappointed in himself for the type of person that Carl has been forced to turn into.
But bottom line is that this is now the second time that Carl has saved his father's life.
And they are going to make us wait another week to see how Daryl reacts to Rick letting Carol go out there on her own.
Poor Herschel. I felt so bad for him.

lol Yea Mig, I was waiting for the patched eyed douche to re-appear. We can be sure he is up to no good. I'm guessing he' really wants Mishonne for killing his (already dead) daughter. I wonder if he'll run across Carol????
I was surprised that Maggie/Herschel seemed OK with Carol being out. And, Looks like Glen & Sasha might make it thru.
The Walkers are getting more and more visible (Is the Governor behind that?)
He's BAAACKKK!!!!!! Awesome Ending. If Glen does pull through this, then there was a cure after all? Keep them alive at all costs until the body develops a strong enough resistance?
For zombie action this was one of the best episodes. Liked how they focused on Hershel this episode and how he got through the madness, i especially liked the background music.. I thought Glenn was a goner until the end but he looks like he'll pull through.
In a way i hope the Governor v Rick story line doesn't drag on as for me it slows the show down.
I felt bad for Hershel when he stabbed the walker.
Herschel was hurting. He was struggling within because there was still a part of him that believed that the walkers were people. But I think that his witnessing what took place in the past two episodes, being locked in with the infected, having to personally take some out to save some of the others, made him realize that he was only fooling himself. Made him see the truth.
I think that the humanitarian part of him was torn out when he came to the realization that the walkers are no longer people when they reach that state of being, but only monsters.
Herschel is a great character..... a very very deep character.
A Walking Dead spinoff? A prequel of sorts showing how they tried to contain the outbreak. I don't know about you guys but I really hope not. We could get too zombied out.
i love this show like the next person, i wasnt aware of how good it was until right before last season, my gf got me into it w netflix and i gwatched em all while sick, until the premier w /no commercials, which brings me to my biggest gripe!!!
is it me or is there way too many commercials in this show, and in (soa)as well...compared to regular tv shows, or am i that entranced that it seems to go bye so fast, its like the network types find the popular tv shows, and push more advertising our way, which is when i previously flipped to the world series to watch my red sox, and now will flip to watch payton manning in the best nfl game so far, also btw the nfl, either is planning on big matchuos in postseason who havent played too much or they botched this years schedule bad, i cant remember a year with so many bad games, anyhow im pumped to see if carol teams up w gov ultimately to betray him and win their approval, the gov is sooo creepy, even to me, fing love this show,hate the every 15 secs commercials!
Yes, lots of commercials and I hate their "mid season" break (Dec. 3 last show until Feb.). I guess this is the "new" thing.
I think most people think it's just a silly zombie show. I love the stories, and the acting is excellent; not to mention the surprises from time to time. My favorite tv show right now.
Love how they kept the whole episode about the governor and the new characters. It was really good that the writers showed us a side of the governor that we haven't seen before.
I felt sorry for him when he burned the picture of his family. Part of me understood why he burned down the town of Woodbury.
In the beginning of the episode we see an even more hardened governor who has basically given up.....kind of on a death wish mission. But that little girl gave him some new life and something for him to live for once again.
Everyone of these main characters, regardless if you like them or not, have obviously been affected mentally by what has happened in the world, what they have witnessed and how they now have to live, which has caused a battle that goes on within their inner selves.
Rick, Herschel, Carol, Daryl, and even the Governor are all tortured souls.
I agree. It was a good episode. It gave us a totally different picture of the Governor.....tho I still wouldn't trust him. LOL He seems to have adopted the new family and like you say, DC, bonded with the little girl.
What happened to the two guys that left with him last time we saw the Governor? Did they show him kill them?
All that being said, I was disappointed that they didn't show the rest of the cast. I really want to know how Darryl reacts to Rick's decision to send Carol "walking" (so to speak lol). AND how Glen is doing. By the previews next week, tho it looks good, it looks like it's centered again on the Governor.
In next weeks episode judging by the preview we will see Martinez with a new crew and he lets the Gov join them but Martinez tells the Gov he's in charge(yeah right)..
Good episode i thought, interesting to see a different side to the Gov.
Yea I'm interested to see how they play him back into the show again. Will they swap between the families or will they actually run into each other again?
And yes the commercials are unreal now. If SoA is 90 minutes you know it has 30 more minutes of commercials. TWD has just flat out put in more commercials.
Don't know if you guys watched or not but the Governor was on "Talking Dead" right after the WD ended and the host asked him why he threw the spaghetti Os out the window. He said that his character didn't want to accept anything from anybody. (tho he did take the offer to stay there)LOL.
Also, fwiw, he said he rehearsed the scene in the ditch where he's saving the little girl, fighting Walkers, without his patch. When it came time to put his patch on, it threw him off a bit. He seemed to really like the role he plays.
Talking Dead is kind of lame but also I like to get everyone's take on it and many times they have cast members either in person or interviewed on tape.
Ok you guys. I saw this article on Yahoo by one of the producers of the show, Gale Ann Hurd claiming that the fans "want the Governor to redeem himself." I say hell no and wonder where she gets that idea. Does he redeem himself in the comics? Ok, so if it's a spoiler don't tell me.
IMHO it would be a HUGE mistake. The Governor is a great villain and I sure hope they don't go that route.
Reading most of the comments I think fans agree with me.
We saw last week for the first time that the Gov does have a heart after all and we saw emotions from the Gov which we have not saw before.
Im not sure where we can go with the Gov as i dont want to to see him for the rest of the season plotting revenge on Rick.. I think we as the viewers will come to like the Gov and he will be killed..
I guess we disagree DeNiro, I expected Governor to want revenge, especially on Mishonne but Rick as well. To me he IS the plotting, revengeful type. I really don't want him to "turn good." The sight of him in the very last scene showing his return....I saw it as evil is back.
That being said, the writing on the show is exceptional, and maybe....just maybe they could pull off this "change". We'll see how it goes, but as I see it now, it's a bad move IMHO.
Welcome back Governor!! I can start hating you again.
SPOILERS
LOL Amen to that Mig!!!! No more Mr. nice guy. LOL Geez, he wants to be the leader and nothing stops him. What's with these women, tho, who find him appealing? Guy gives me the creeps.
I WILL be happy to see Rick & the gang next week (last episode til Feb. I think). Did you catch previews, the very end when Governor is pointing gun right at Mishonne? I have a feeling next week will be one of those OMG episodes.

Of course something will happen due to it will be the last episode till February. When he threw that guys body that he killed from his camp I didn't know there was a cinder block attached to him. Is that the first walker that was under the water? And how did those other walkers get stuck in the mud?
I didn't notice a cinder block. I don't know how all those walkers got there in the quicksand (?). Maybe we'll learn next week. I guess that's why they turned around and went back to the trailer area. So the Governor can get rid of all other potential leaders.
Oh, and when the two brothers were arguing about stealing food/supplies from the campground they spotted, one brother wanted to, the other didn't think it was right to steal from them. Noticed the Governor taking in what they were saying and for a moment wondered if the "good" Gov will come out. Obviously not. He whacks the guy with the conscience an keeps the other. Ha ha ha. He IS a great villain.

The Governor is a surviver. I think that living in that environment, in that situation, one will do whatever is necessary when it comes to survival. There is no doubt that the Gov. has officially adopted that little girl and her mom as 'his' family. He's going to protect them at ALL costs!
And speaking of that camp with the supplies, I'm wondering who killed them all and took the supplies.
I think that we are in for a big surprise in this Sundays finale.
First Herschel! Then the little girl. Then the Gov! The acting on last nights episode was just outstanding. When Herschel was executed, the reaction by his two daughters was just heartbreaking. Then when Rick and Carl realize that the baby is gone and they see all of that blood in the baby seat, the reaction by both of them, especially by Carl, choked me up! A very emotional episode.
What a episode is right. The next episode comes on Feb. 9th.
Click to reveal..
Why Hershel? I guess they are all separated for the time being. When the girls started screaming I was yelling NOOOOO!! I hope baby Judith is still alive somewhere. I was really surprised that they killed off the Gov and his GF shot him
OMG!!!!!! What a surprising, action-packed, edge of your seat episode. I am still reeling this morning. I will post more later but had to pop in to say....just WOW!!!!
Wow, what an episode, can't believe Hershel was killed off, he was one of my favorite characters. I wasn't surprised that The Gov died but the little girl dying was sad. I sure Judith is alive and was taken by the girls.. An action packed episode with so much too talk about..
In the comic book series, I was told Lori was still alive and she's running with Judith away from the attack. She is hit by the gun fire and when she falls to her death she smothers judith by falling on her. so be glad they spared us that. Now I am not saying I think Judith is dead. Last night was a crazy episode and I think the current question is how can they possibly regroup and survive when they suffered so much?
I am still blown away by last night's episode. So much to talk. A few thoughts:
I didn't think the Governor would be killed off this soon BUT I am glad that it was Mishonne who speared him (tho Lily shot him afterward). Poor Rick had the crap beaten out of him. He barely made it. Carl should have taken the shot at the Governor while he could.
I am still wondering IF baby Judith is dead tho by all indications it seems to be the case. I try to avoid any spoilers from the comic book but did see somewhere a link to find out "what happens to baby Judith" in the comic books. I don't like spoilers so didn't click link.
Oh, and who do you think is responsible for the rats in the prison? At first I thought the Governor but seems like it's gotta be someone within the prison.
Plus, I expect Carol to show up somewhere.....maybe as a Walker???
I only read the very first issue of the comic books. I figured it would be ok to post about that comic book story factor since we all saw last nights episode. I wouldn't be surprised if Carol comes back and is a key leader in reuniting the group. Rick knows Carol is a survivor. I feel this episode be watched over and over as you can notice some new details that you didn't catch the first viewing.
Plus, from what I understand, the series does NOT follow the comic book exactly. I believe there are a couple characters in the show that are NOT in the comic books. Also, I've "heard" storylines are alteredchanged for the show for whatever reasons. At any rate...what a freekin' AWESOME show.

I thought the comics only covered Seasons 1-3? And they are supposed to be winging it from the start of this season? i may be wrong, but I thought I read that somewheres....
EVERYONE loved Hershel. I was disappointed to even see Shane go AND really sad to see Andrea go too. As long as they don't do away with Rick or Darryl, I'll be ok. Oh, and I thought the Governor was a GREAT villain. I thought he might be around a bit longer.
My daughter has AT&T U-Verse and I have Time Warner. For whatever reason she gets the show EastCoast time (6:00 p.m) and I don't get it til 9:00 p.m. She teases the heck out of me cause she knows how much I love the show. She called as she was watching WD. She knows I don't like to know what happened but all she said was "OMG....call me at commercial!"
I hate waiting months in between the show,.Not sure what im going to watch now.. Suppose i could re watch the 3 seasons on DVD for about the 4th time..
You may be right about that. I never even knew there was a comic of WD until last year. If true, I'm glad because then there can't be any spoilers from the comic.

I've been watching past seasons of SOA. I need to get season 3 of WD.
Whe likes The Talking Dead, the show that follows Walking Dead? The actor who played Hershal was on after final episode, it turns out he played in some big roles as actor back in his time.
To all the WD fans who will be home New Year's Eve/Day. AMC is running ALL seasons, in order of WD both days, 24/7. If you have any favorite episodes you might want to tune in if you're home.
Just a reminder to my fellow WD fans. The WD marathon starts tomorrow and will run for 24/7 starting from season 1. If there's any episode you missed or want to see again you can catch it.
I re-watched quite a few episodes last two days during the WD marathon. When Andrea is in that deserted building (on her way to the prison to warn Rick) hiding from the Governor, remember that creepy tune he whistled as he slowly strolls thru the building?
I am totally disappointed that this show is up for NO awards. It was the most watched cable show for weeks, the cast is great as are the stories but still no awards? WTF is all I got to say.

I also watched that episode yesterday and thought the same thing when he was whistling that tune. He kind of reminded me of Robert Mitchum's Reverend Harry Powell character in 'The Night Of The Hunter."
Do you remember that movie TIS?
And yes, I too am a bit amazed that no one from this show, be it an actor, actress, writer or producer, has been nominated for any type of award!
Truthfully the actor who played The Governor should have been nominated!
I can't think of one actor in the show that isn't good. I think Rick is great. I re-watched the episode in which Lori gives birth and Carl, Maggie come out with baby. Rick's response makes me cry every time. Damn I hope there is never a Zombie Apocalypse. I just couldn't take it I tell you.
Seriously, an excellent show IMHO. My favorite right now.

Happy New Year TIS! Happy New Year to everyone!
Ironic that you mention how Rick makes you cry no matter how many times you watch the episode where Lori gives birth. I was just telling my buddy the same thing about that episode. Rick gets me every time!
I re-watched the very last episode of this past season last night. After the 'showdown' when Rick and Carl find Judith's empty baby seat, Carl goes ballistic and empties his gun on the walker. After that when Carl broke down crying he brought tears to my eyes. I didn't realize how emotional he was when watching that episode for the first time......probably was in shock from Herschel being killed.
Goes to show you how great the writing and acting is.....a zombie show that makes the viewer choke up or cry!
I may be an optimist because I'm thinking that just maybe Judith might be alive. I wonder IF Rick or Carl, or someone will hear a baby cry and find her hidden somehwere. Then, on the other hand, as far as the storylines go, how much can the write in an infant? Maybe it'll work better without her???
Btw, notice how big Carl is getting. Watching earlier episodes I see how young he looked. In just 3 years he's really grown. A preview of the mid-season opener, shows Carl yelling for someone to "wake up" (good preview) and I notice his voice is changing. Our little Walker fighter is getting big.
I may be an optimist because I'm thinking that just maybe Judith might be alive.
TIS
I believe that she IS alive. My feeling is that one of the girls shot a walker and snatched her up as a walker was about to get her. That is probably where the blood on the baby seat came from.
I think that it would be the final straw for Rick if Judith is dead. That would be really cold to kill her off the show! Don't believe that Rick could survive something like that after all he has sacrificed and lost.
Hmmmmm. Wouldn't it be something if we were to find out that Carol quietly came back to another part of the prison and was the one who saved Judith?

Good theory. I DO expect we will see Carol again. I'm guessing she'll have softer tone (not cold as we last saw her). Her saving Judith? Good idea. You're right, poor Rick should NOT lose anyone.
I can't wait. I do notice EVERY preview they have for upcoming return is very very short and doesn't give much info. Nothing has leaked that I know of. Just wondering IF perhaps this episode may have a shocker or two? Love it!!
Just noticed that AMC is having a WD marathon. Right now the very first episode of the first season is showing. Anyone interested can start from the beginning. I highly recommend it.
And have you noticed how short the previews are for next half of season? Very stingy with details. I have a feeling it'll be pretty good. At least I hope so.
Like I said, AMC has been pretty stingy with any previews. I found this on youtube showing Carl leading the Walkers somewhere? He seems comfortable taunting them. Hmmm
Btw, after watching episodes from past seasons, look how much Carl has grown.
So who watched it last night? I really liked it! Loved the whole premise of how they have basically separated some of the characters from each other and are showing what each is really feeling on the inside.
Click to reveal..
How great was the Michonne storyline? Her heart was ripped out when she had to finish off Herschel's Zombie head. Definitely causing her to walk amongst the Zombies with a death wish. Love how she chose her two pets.....former allies of the Governor. Poetic Justice! What a great scene when she finally comes to her senses realizing that she wanted to live and exploding with her Katana Sword on all of those walkers! Did anyone notice that there was one walker that she kept looking at who actually looked like Michonne? I think that she saw herself in that walker and realized that she did not want to die.
And Carl, was he out of control or what? Almost as if he himself had a death wish. It was like he was playing a game with the walkers.
As for the Governor, was that a bullet hole that we saw in his head?
Hi DC! Yea, I liked it as well. Sort of like they are starting over again.
Click to reveal..
Spoiler Carl was pretty defiant and downright mean to his father, tho, considering his age and what he's been thru, I can understand it.
You're right about Michonne's walker double. She was on Talking Dead and more or less said that she looked at the walker and saw herself and decided it was something she did not want to become.
When Rick didn't wake up I started to worry (btw, that poor guy was beaten to sh*t wasn't he? Damn, he could barely walk/talk) I could see where Carl would think he "turned" after hearing the moaning noises. Carl couldn't shoot (thankfully) and said to the Walker "come get me."
Nice kind of upbeat ending (so to speak) with the knock on the door, and Rick telling Carl, "It's for you." Good episode. Still have hopes that baby Judith is with someone and waiting for Carol to show up.
decent episode, could've been better but good set up for the rest of the season…………..so i guess i was the only rooting for Carl to die? kid gets on my nerves!
yeah I wanted Carl to die, but it was clearly intentional. I thought it was a good episode as we got to see two characters go through their own worst fears and be able to to get the motivation to continue fighting. Micheone(spelling) was great to watch in this episode. spoiler alert
The moment when she begins to slay all the walkers around her was very well done and just worked so well for her story in this episode.
so i guess i was the only rooting for Carl to die? kid gets on my nerves!
Hey,the kid definitely gets on the viewers nerves in this episode...and I believe that was the writers intent. Think about what this poor kid has been through. He become a part of a post apocalyptic world, thought that he lost his father so he had to look up to Shane as a father figure, got his father back and was pushed away by Shane, got shot and almost died, lost a fellow friend in Sophia, saw her as a walker who had to be executed, had to mercifully execute his own mother after helping her deliver her baby, then had to step up on several different occasions to save his own father who he watched breakdown and crack, living with the thought that his baby sister is gone, and now has to basically take care of his father and nurse him back to heath.
I'd say that the kid has gone to hell and back....and deserves a pass.

His voice has broken. And I saw an interview with the actor who plays Rick and he specifically said that the intent of the episode was to show that Karl has become a man both in the Zombie world and as an actor in real life.
I agree with you DC. As much as he was so disrespectful (down right cruel) to his dad, he is forced to experience so much loss during this Zombie apocalypse. And, Carl is growing up. I saw the repeat of the episode in which Carl gets shot. He seemed so young and that was what 2 yrs ago?
For me, as much as I love surprise action/deaths in the show, I like also seeing a human side and get to know the personalities of the characters. I think Sunday's episode was just that.

DITTO TIS.
I thought that it was a well written episode that went deep into the characters allowing us to see what tortured souls they really have become.
I am taking it as Carl is over his "attitude" problem with him not being able to shoot his dad (and more or less giving up) when he thought he turned. I think that was the kick in the pants he needed.
Ok Carl gets a pass for ONE more episode but then in the words of the greatest zombie killers of all time,Tallahassee(woody harellson in Zombieland)-"Time to nut up or shut up!"
Nice to see Carol, Tyreese, Sasha but I was so happy to see the baby Judith was alive. Looked like Darryl was really depressed and reluctantly went with Beth but I do think he'll come around. Oh, and wtf was with Lizzy? Was she really trying to SILENCE baby Judith? OMG Oh, and I didn't pick up on it til Talking Dead but was wondering what the quick shot of those bunnies (?) was suppose to be. Evidently Lizzy killed them? Oh, one more thing, this new place, "Terminus".... I'm already skeptical. LOL
So glad that baby Judith is still with us. Who is that new guy at the end of the show he looks so familiar? I can't place him. Didn't know that Glenn & Maggie got married.
Excellent Episode! The writing is really superb. I love where they seem to be going with this show.
How confused were you when Maggie found that walker on the bus while looking for Glenn? All you saw was the back of him, which resembled Glenn, and then seeing her start to cry initially gives you the impression that it was indeed Glenn....until her crying seemed to turn to tears of relief of it not being Glenn.
A few more minutes and that little girl may have suffocated Judith. How scared that poor kid must have been.
On "Talking Dead" last week, they mentioned the bunnies that Lizzie killed. I didn't catch it at the time and saw two animals under a log but didn't get it??? I think Lizzie had a knife but at that time wasn't sure what it meant. Evidently she killed these bunnies. After how she acted with baby Judith, I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I am hoping that Carol will catch on to her behavior and will give a second thought to the way she thinks as well.
Absolutely TIS. It probably was the most interesting part of this week's episode. Although I must say that I enjoyed the way that they portrayed Glenn this week in having him so focused on finding Maggie and refusing to believe that she was dead. Cold cocking that guy right in his face! So unlike Glenn. But that's what love can do to a person.
I think that this was intentionally made to basically be a low key / non event episode.
Just an observation. Did you notice both last week and this week the sign on the street warning not to pick up hitchhikers because they could be prison escapees? Hmmm Could explain the violent visitors that Rick was fighting in the house. OR, could it even be Abraham's team?
Can't wait for Rick, Carl to see baby Judith and wonder how they'll react to Carol.
Yea it wasn't one of the best episodes. Didn't have a whole lot of action but we did get more background on Darryl and what his life was like with Merle and learned a little more about Beth. We know she drinks moonshine.
IMO what a boring episode. Nice that Darryl got some stuff off his chest.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS POSSIBLE SPOILERS POSSIBLE SPOILERS
While I agree that it was not an action packed episode, I don't agree that it was a boring one. As a matter of fact I thought that it was a very interesting and well written one with a very powerful underlying message to it. We are seeing individual character development from week to week. The bottom line is that the characters are learning to make the transition from PRE-apocalyptic life to POST-apocalyptic life.
Beth, in her wanting to finally try a drink, eventually made Daryl realize that it is time to move forward and "burn" away the memories and feelings of pre-apocalyptic life.....hence burning down the building and saying "F--K you to the old memories of the old way of life that have been torturing these people.
She herself realized that while she may have not been a force in the group, she was a survivor and was still alive. She also made Daryl realize that he was a valued member of the group in that he has saved many lives and is a powerful leader and survivor.
On another note, how great was the scene when they were locked in the trunk waiting for the herd of walkers to go by? One second quiet and the next like a sound of explosion and spiraling confusion! The writers did an excellent job making the viewer feel like Daryl and Beth were feeling at that moment.
I agree with you DC. I think Sunday's episode, while slower paced, was intended to give us a look at Darryl's life.
Btw, did you see him (Darryl) on Talking Dead? He & Beth were on and they said that they were actually eating eel (not snake). Norman Reddus (Darryl) and Beth both said it tasted awful. You'd never know it by watching the scene. He was chowing down.
If it were me, I'd say "ok Walkers come get me." LOL I'd be damned if I'd ever eat either snake OR eel. Ewwwwww

Ahhh, you'd be surprised what you could force yourself to eat if you were really starving. You may even force yourself to eat SpaghettiO's in that situation!
This no such as a bad WD episode, slow but we got to learn a bit more of Darryl's background and we saw Beths character develop more. I think we can safety say that Beth is safe for now and the writers are grooming her to be the next Andrea..
OT-The worst thing the writers did in my opinion was killing Shane off, i still miss him.. he was such a epic character.

DeNiro, I do agree with you. I thought Shane added a lot to the show and I miss him too.
Yea, Shane started out more likeable than he ended up but his character, the friendship with Rick and his relationship with Lori added a little tension. I still wonder if baby Judith could be his.
Merle a great villain. A real hateful guy BUT great for the storyline. I actually felt bad when Darryl saw Merle was a walker.
And Herschel, yea he was the moral compass of the show. I'm gonna miss him. Plus, who's gonna be a doctor now? They're gonna have to wing it.
Maybe it's just me, but one character that got on my nerves was Dale. He just kept hounding Andrea and then Shane. I know he was a good guy but for some reason that character got on my nerves.
It is looking like this season is just prepping us for next season. They have strung out the Terminus theme way too long. If it was up to me they would focus more on the new characters.
Looks like Glen is approaching Maggie's sign. Sure he'll be thrilled to see that. Glad Maggie was around to help Sasha.
Favorite scene was Darryl in the funeral home with all the Walkers approaching. "Nobody backs Darryl in a Corner." Speaking of which, OMG, he actually slept in the coffin. OMG...no way, no how could I do that. Creepy!!!!
Not a bad episode, but I am anxious to see Rick & Karl unite with baby Judith and see more of Carol.
Did you see the preview for sundays show on talking dead? What is up with that and what happened to Beth? Why didn't she come back for Darryl?
I have not watched this past Sunday's Talking Dead yet, but it is good to see them clear some things up on that show. In last weeks episode, I thought all the walkers in golf club who were hanging by ropes were a mass suicide. On Talking Dead they said it was a rebellion by workers against the rich club members.
Did you see the preview for sundays show on talking dead? What is up with that and what happened to Beth? Why didn't she come back for Darryl?
My impression was that someone kidnapped her. It may have been the man who's home they were in, the vehicle they drove away in looked like an undertaker's car.
I wasn't certain either but Yahoo ran a story interviewing Maggie (Lauren Cohan) mentioned how Darryl/Beth were separated when Beth was kidnapped, indicating she was forced in the car.
Yes i dont think anything happened to the baby, while watching the end of that episoide all i could think of was the end of Of Mice and Men...tell me about the rabbits george BADA BOOM!
Yes the baby was on Tyrese's back, if you DVR'd it stop it when they open the fence I think to walk off the property and you will see Judith strapped to his back. The grave with the baby shoes was seen at the beginning when the sisters sat down to wait on Carol and Tyrese to clear the house.
I didn't think Carol would have it in her to cap the older sister then tell Tyrese what she done. I think she was at her breaking point after the sisters. It will open her way back into the group though IMO.

Thanks dixiemafia. That was gross when Lizzie fed that rat to the walker.
My daughter gets to see it 3 hours before me & loves to call and tease me. THIS time she called and said she thought it was awful and didn't want to watch anymore. I was surprised yet curious (I don't let her tell me what happened) as to what it was about. I was not sure what to expect. I totally agree it definitely was disturbing but I also think it was a good episode (if that makes sense).
Btw, remember Tyreese telling Carol about Lizzy and the rat at the prison? I remember the scene with the rat but wasn't quite sure what/how it was killed. Tyreese said Lizzy crucified the rat. OMG!!!

Disturbing yet a very good episode IMH.
TIS
SPOILER ALERT
Yes TIS, I understand what you mean about it being a disturbing episode and at the same time a very good one. It was well written and acted, no question about that. But for what it's worth I have a very hard time seeing a child being executed. While I understand that this was something done to show us how Carol has adjusted to the post apocalyptic world and basically did what she did to protect not only herself, but more for Baby Judith, as a parent, and as a human being, I found very difficult to digest when the episode was over.
Years ago I used to watch ER and enjoyed the show very much....that was until one episode when a family was in a car accident, the episode ended with a baby lying there and all you heard was the heart monitor flat-line as the picture faded to black. I was so disturbed that I never watched another episode of ER again. And truthfully, like your daughter, I was contemplating not ever watching the Walking Dead ever again when that episode ended last Sunday.
I will continue watching it because I realize that bottom line this is a fictional horror show. As you know I really love and enjoy this show, but last weeks episode was a bit over the top and in my opinion went a bit too far.
Side note : When Carol was telling Lizzy to look at the flowers, keep looking at the flowers, did it remind you somewhat of Lenny and George in Of Mice and Men?
Yes i dont think anything happened to the baby, while watching the end of that episoide all i could think of was the end of Of Mice and Men...tell me about the rabbits george BADA BOOM!
Yes as a matter fact it did remind me of that, ^ a post i made earlier.
I do look forward to Sunday's episode. I'm hoping the group (or most of it) meet up at this "terminus" place (which btw, the name alone doesn't sound right to me.
I'm anxious for Rick/Carl to see baby Judith again AND to see if/how Carol is accepted in the group and of course Glen/Maggie. I do not trust that new group of army guy types.
If they do meet up what if they ask Carol/Tyrese what happened to the girls? What will they say?
I would say they should just tell the truth. It's a good thing Tyreese is there to back up story, cause I don't know if Rick would believe Carol alone. AND if Tyreese can forgive Carol, I'm guessing the group will too. Then again.....Carol DID kill Lizzie (be it just or not). Can she be a trustworthy?? Is she trigger happy? Don't know but I can't wait to watch Sunday.
The shows have been ok, last weeks episode The Grove was best of season. What disappoints me is that they led fans to believe this season would have new characters and a new setting. The 3 new characters promised were Abraham Ford, his girlfriend Rosita Espinosa, and Dr. Eugene Grant. Instead all we have had so far is one scene with them in it throughout this season. That was it. Also the entire Terminus plot has been just a tease to viewers so far.
Last month this appeared on Yahoo tv about the new characters
A little disappointed with the second half of season four but still better than anything on TV at the moment. I knew the older sister was going to die in some way but was there any need to kill both the girls..
Not a bad episode last night. Compared to last week's shocker it was kind of a nice change. Glad to see Maggie/Glen finally met up.
What's with the a**holes that poor Darryl is with? LOL The "claim" game and fighting over a squirrel(or was it a rabbit?) I am glad to see Darryl not willing to play their stupid games (at least not yet). So this "Joe" guy that Darryl is with is part of the group that was in the house where Rick was hiding? They are trailing him?
Joe is indeed the leader of the group that was in the house where rick was hiding. One of them saw Rick before he passes out from being choked by one of them when they were fighting over the bed. They want revenge as they know Rick killed one of their own, the guy who was in the bathroom and he didn't attack the brain of that guy. Joe was saying how the guy turned into a walker.
yeah I don't know about Terminus. I have a feeling it's going to be semi-safe place. however, maybe now there will be a battle between rick and his group vs Joe and the guys he leads. Notice every group has their own rules and they expect everyone to follow these rules. Imagine if Rick is blamed for bringing bloodshed to the last safe spot. I doubt everyone come to Terminus and lives happily ever after. Eugene is interesting, but I would want to hear more specifically why DC is so important to him.
yeah I don't know about Terminus. I have a feeling it's going to be semi-safe place.
Something very strange about Terminus. I re-watched the end of the episode last night and noticed how they REALLY focused on showing us the plants that were growing. Ironically an ancient Roman religion once existed where the people worshiped a God called Terminus. Part of their belief was that plants possessed a spiritual presence and therefore plants were held in high regard by worshipers of Terminus. Also a part of their religious practice was to offer human sacrifices up to their God Terminus.
So I am wondering if this place is based on the beliefs and practices of this ancient Roman religion. Wondering if that is why the cameras specifically scanned over all of the plants that we saw in this episode. Wondering if the people of Terminus put those signs up all around hoping to attract newcomers to offer up as sacrifices to their God.
Sounds like we're going to be left with a big cliffhanger. I cant see Rick getting killed just yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Glenn or Megan are killed off seeing has they have just been reunited.
I sure hope they don't kill off Rick. As the article said some fans will be sobbing? That would be me if they get rid of Rick. Of all characters Rick has had his share of loss/problems. Damn, I sure hope if someone does get killed off, that it's NOT Rick or Darryl.
Then we got the long ass wait til Oct. before we see it again.

I'm telling you that I really think what I mentioned in my above post is what Terminus is all about.
Holding flowers and plants in high regard. In my opinion they may be feeding the newcomers to fatten them up so that they can eat them. These Terminus people may very well be cannibals.
You could be right DC. I mean cannibals? That WOULD be shocking. Man, I would hate living in a zombie apocalypse. I want to eat dinner not be dinner. Ha ha!!
I don't see Rick dying, like it or not he is part of the show much like Clay was on Sons of Anarchy and you see how long they let him live. He's kinda the guy you just can't get rid of yet.
I with Don Cardi, something stinks about Terminus.
I have this really sad feeling that something just may happen to Carl. Don't know what or why, but I do.....and I really hope that I am wrong about that.
I'm wondering about this Terminus place. Could it be another Woodbury with another physco leader?
Does Eugene really have a cure? I'm glad they stayed behind to help Glenn & Tara.
I have been wondering about the Dr. Eugene Porter character myself. He says he knows a cure and what is causing the dead to turn, yet no one asks him anything about it. Glenn was with Rick when they went to the Center for Disease Control and met that crazy doctor who explained how everything started, yet he has not asked Eugene or Abraham Ford about it. It's a big plot hole.
This season has been primarily spent watching people walk on railroad tracks and talk. I was hoping the walkers would just eat Glenn and Tara in that tunnel. They can eat Maggie too, and she used to be my favorite character.
There are too many story lines to follow, and the show is now a soap opera instead of a horror show. The group Daryl is now with is interesting, I see a hint of Daryl starting to bond with that group leader. Is he starting to like him because he reminds him of his brother Merle? It's pretty obvious there will be a big showdown in the final, but by now I am just wishing this season had been cut down to 4 episodes instead of 8.
I am pretty sure I know who dies tonight and how their death will happen. I can say kind of predictable if you know how the writers tend to write this show. I don't want to spoil it for anyone. hopefully we can just enjoy the finale and we will all be looking forward to next season.
It was bad. First 20 minutes was flashbacks and talk, with only a small scene where they let walkers eat a guy they could have saved in my opinion. After 20 minutes we have that group of bad guys Daryl is with show up. Three minutes alter they are dead. It was intense, and good, but the build up to it took weeks. Darryl was punched, kicked, and beaten by four of the men, next day, he has only a few minor scrapes on his face.
More flashbacks, more commercials, more talking. We finally get to Terminus, and it is full of hipsters who stand around sketching diagrams over tables. It looked like Google headquarters, post-apocolypse. Rick realizes they are bad after he sees the watch Glenn owned on one of the hosts.
It turns out they are cannibals, we get to see a glimpse of some bones and a skull as Rick, Machine, Carl and Darryl are trying to escape, and there is moment reminiscent of the movie The Road as we hear people trapped in a giant container of some sort plead "Save us, let us out, please."
The show ends with everyone together, trapped in a locked freight car, and Rick uttering a corny action-hero line to end things. Did anyone actually like this season?
This season was slow and i think is gearing up for season five. Season 4 could have been better but could have been worse. Spent alot of time introducing new characters and tiring up back story loose ends.
Was it one of the best seasons? No. Was it a horrible season? No.
In my opinion this season was pretty good. I particularity liked the idea of their making us learn more about each character, their background, how they got to where they are and what they've now become. The depth of the characters and the writing was pretty intense this season.
As for the season finale itself, it was decent. I think that it served it's purpose in that throughout the season we saw everyone as an individual, physically separated, and metaphorically speaking.... 'on their own'.....only to come full circle and 'find themselves and each other' once again.
As far as Rick being back....well he's more than back. He's gone from an enforcer of the law in the pre-apocalyptic world, to an organizer and leader in the new post-apocalyptic world, to what now seems to be an "all bets are off" kind of person who proved last night that he will do whatever is necessary to protect his son and to protect all that he cares about who are in tune with him. Had I been in Rick's shoes and some sick F**k was about to rape my son, I too would have ripped his juggler out with my teeth!
Overall I have to agree with what was posted above about this season setting up what I think is going to be a good story line for next season.
I thought the finale final scenes were going to be with major character loss/es BUT the first five/ten minutes blew me away. I did NOT see that coming AND kept thinking about that scene throughout the episode. Excellent writing. I never would have guessed it.
Granted no huge ending but I tell ya, I was happy that Rick, Darryl & Carl survived. The opening scenes kept me riding high throughout the episode. I loved it!!!
TIS
Btw, just read this article (SPOILERS) Including this:
"A melee ensues (with Daryl joining in the fight against the Claimers) and one of the thugs grabs Carl, clearly intending to rape him"
I sort of wondered that during that scene. They guy was really creepy.
Yes the guy was going to do things to Carl that is not legal in our country.
Terminus got some sick folks, but they have a good racket set up. Put up posters and get on radios claiming who all arrive will survive until it's time to feed everyone.....lol
In my over half a century on this planet, this is the first and only TV show I ever "followed" on a weekly basis from the 1st episode to the most recent. It is hopelessly addicting.
the best thing about the season was the governor. he is one of the best villains i have come across. at one point it looks like he has changed only to show his true colors. terminus looks like a farce. "if you arrive you survive." i believe the survivors that are at terminus are cannibals.
For all my fellow WD fans, AMC is having what they are calling a "DEAD WHITE & BLUE" weekend. They will have every episode from every season all weekend.
Tho I know I won't watch every episode, as you all know there are more than just a couple good episodes. I hope to catch a few. Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead) will host. Oh and at some point (I assume the end of weekend) they'll have a live "Talking Dead" with "surprise" guests.
Looking forward tho this as well, TIS looking forward to chatting about the episodes the day after, it's jjust a pity other people don't joing in the chat..
I think the reason for no Emmy Nominations is that it's the wrong kind of genre..
You're right DeNiro, horror/scifi usually don't get recognized at these awards. The only two awards WD is up for is Sound editing and special/visual effects.
Since it starts so early here (5:00 p.m.), I'll probably watch some of it.
I came across this article. Apparently they plan to make a pilot for a "companion" series to the WD. Supposedly it will cover what is happening outside Atlanta, GA.
I'm not so sure they should do that. They may just overplay an excellent series theme.
A while back I heard rumor that a couple characters (don't know which) from WD would be in a spinoff series. Don't know if that's what they have in mind. Something tells me it's a bad idea.
I'm always fascinated by people who think the show is about zombies. The show is a series of moral dilemmas that each of us would have to face in an apocalyptic scenario. I think it's mentally and morally challenging to play along with the characters and put yourself in their shoes....great show and superbly written/produced.

I know exactly what you mean. I try to tell people who haven't watched that the Zombies are secondary. It's not like a horror flick but as you say, more about moral dilemmas. Some very emotional scenes too(ie Rick's reaction to Maggie coming out with baby Judith; Darryl finding Merle turned.)
I think so far, the writing and acting has been excellent. I hope season 5 doesn't disappoint. It's not for everyone. Everyone has different taste, but for me... my favorite show.
Two weeks from tomorrow here, DeNiro. (But, who's counting right?) I am sure they'll be replaying the last season just before the premiere. Can't wait. My favorite show!!!
I got teary eyed during that scene. It was so emotional. One of my favorites. For some reason also, I really am looking forward to seeing Rick & Carl's reaction to baby Judith being alive. A happier moment in WalkerWorld I'm sure.
I tell everyone it's not the zombies (notice they are NEVER called zombies in WD) so much as it is the storylines. Granted walkers are a big part of the story, but you get more involved in the human aspect/survival. Know what I mean?
Of course the fact that it's well written and well acted add a whole lot to it. So many "zombie" movies/shows are bloody slasher-type, lousy acted films.
TIS
You have a little over a week to get caught up and then you can join our conversation after each episode.
Oh I'm caught up now TIS, last year when they had the marathons me and my wife was living with my parents then and my old man watched the whole thing and I went from "this zombie crap is stupid" to "hey when does the new season start". Last year was my first year to watch every episode when it first aired and not a re-run. Now I love it because as you said it is more about the characters an surviving than it is the walkers. Now I love it.
Oh good! We only have less than two weeks before new season!!
As I checked tv listings tonight, I see a non-cable channel is showing the very first two episodes of the WD series. First time it's been on any non-cable channel. Don't know if they'll do two episodes a week or if this is just a filler this week until the new season. I plan to at least watch the very first episode again, even tho I've seen it a few times. Love to see how it all started again.
TIS is on a channel called SyFy about 4 episodes into it. Lots of Zombies including Amish Zombies. LOL I liked World War Z and, I am Legend as well.
Oh, ok, now that you mention it, I think I've seen the title in the tv listings but have watched the show.
I didn't mind World War Z either even tho the zombies in that film moved much faster than in WD. I'm spoiled to WD and it's pretty hard to top it IMHO.
TIS LOL, I agree with you, WD is the best but I never seen faster Zombies than in I am Legend. World War Z is a close second. I like them slow too. LOL
For all you zombie fans out there i would definitely recommend a UK shows which was on a few years ago, its called Dead Set and is about a zombie outbreak which happens to evolve around some Big Brother contestants. There is five episodes, TIS i know you will like it..
I've found a youtube video with all episodes on the one video.
Ok guys, we are down to 3 days!! If you all were in the neighborhood I'd host a "Walking Dead" party. I'd have an all you can eat (not humans tho) and drink!!!
Here's a trailer (you may have seen) to get you pumped up for Sunday. Couple observations
1. The creepy Terminus leader telling Rick he never wanted to harm them....see Rick's look. Almost like he's gonna take a bit out of him. Ha ha
2. I know nothing about bow/arrows, but Darryl's seems a bit more elaborate no?
3. At very end of clip we see Beth. Not sure where she is, but doesn't look too good for her either.
4. I LOVE the couple scenes with Rick holding baby Judith. Ok, so they don't have to build an entire story around it...BUT I hope they show Rick/Karl's reaction seeing she did not get killed. Just me.
That's funny cause I read that Rick was gonna lose the beard this season. It obviously is growing.
Btw, I am always amazed when I hear Andrew Lincoln and they girl who plays Maggie speak with their English accent. You'd never know it watching the show.
I know that the Governor was also British. I couldn't even guess who else is. I really think that Andrew Lincoln is an excellent actor. Of course all the actors are great which makes a huge difference. Lousy actors could make a great show like WD look cheesy.
TIS
Here's a nice pic of the WD ladies all cleaned up, or should I say not in WD attire.
I was just sent this. The first 4 minutes of tomorrow's episode. Looks really good!! See what you think. Don't worry, no spoilers. It ends right when you know something is gonna happen.
After watching that, im even more looking forward to the return, i think it's going to be the best season yet as i've said before,they always seem so run into crazy people.. Can't wait..
That was an exceptional episode, from start to finish,one of the best yet and i hope a sign of things to come for this season.The trough scene was gruesome to say the least, i was sitting there with my mouth open speakless.
Carol came to the rescue and Rick appears to have accepted her back in the group seeing as she saved the day.
Morgan was the last person i expected to see at the end..
That pig's trough thing was pretty disgusting wasn't it? I read (never would have recognized) that the one guy at the trough was the "hippie" guy, that Rick/Carol found in that house the time Rick let Carol go. His girlfriend was found dead remember?
AND, that creepy guy that Rick/Glen let out of the train car. What a weirdo hu? He's supposedly head or part of the "butcher" group that Mary was talking about to Carol.
Glad to see Carol save the day. As disturbing as it was seeing her shoot Lizzy, I'm ready to have her back in the group. And so cool that Darryl and others warmly welcomed her.
I swear I missed some stuff. I'll definitely watch again. A totally action packed start to season 5. AND, to top it off, I read that TWD is already signed to do season 6. Cool!!
Even though Morgan has only been in two TWD episodes he's a much loved character, it will be interesting to see what role he will play in this season..
Ok, I watched it a second time and liked it even more. Did you guys catch that the people in opening scene in the train car was Mary & her son from Terminus? Also the creepy guy that Rick let out of the train car. Was that another of Mary's sons?
AND what about the catchy Terminus phrase..."You're either the butcher or the cattle."
I agree with Rick that Father Gabriel is hiding something. My daughter, who's a teacher, was discussing with other teachers during lunch break today. A couple were of the opinion that Father Gabriel possibly sacrificed his congregation to the Walkers, to spare his own life. (The pic of the church lady for one). Plus the message scraped in the bldg. "you'll burn in hell" (I believe) was meant for Garbriel? Btw, he's out there with NO weapon whatsoever? WTF? He's definitely not gonna last long.
AND of course the fantastic shocker ending....Poor Poor Bob. That Garreth is sure evil isn't he. I mean he tells Bob "he tastes better." Anyone else catch before he was captured, Bob crying? Think maybe he WAS bitten on the leg while in the sewer? Talking Dead refers to it as the "Bob-A-Que" Ha ha ha.
Was Carol trying to leave when Darryl came out and asked her what she was doing? I'm under the impression she's been forgiven, so don't know why she'd leave.
I was thinking weather Carol was leaving, im not to sure. I feel for Bob,goes for a walk and gets jumped by the worst possible group and they chop his leg off.
That had to be a strong walker to get Bob under the water. I also thought Bob got bit due to he had a gun with him. I thought he was gonna kill himself then that douche Garreth showed up. I hope he gets sick after eating his leg due to Bob was in that nasty water. Poor Bob. I didn't notice at first that his leg was gone.
I Didn't know that Mary from Terminous played Tasha Yar from Star Trek the Next Generation. ( You learn alot from Talking Dead) LOL
Why did Darryl bash out the rear lights on the car before they went to save Beth?
I agree that Darryl smashed the lights of the car to not be seen. I didn't catch that Beth was actually in the car but that was same car that took her before no?
Do you think it was Garreth that Darryl felt was watching OR possibly Morgan? Btw, I'm assuming Morgan came to his senses and is a "nice" guy but I guess it's possible he went more off the deep end.
As far as Carol, it's gotta still be eating at her what she did to Lizzy. I'm guessing that's what's bothering her.
Side note, how sweet to see Rick holding/playing with baby Judith. Just makes me smile.
Come to think of it now it must have been Garath who was watching Darryl, as they was close to the group, i guess they was looking for a unarmed easy target like Bob,
I think it was Garreth who was watching them. Darryl said it was beth in the car we didn't get to see who was in it. I thought it might've been Garreth taking Bob away in that car.
I only noticed that his leg was missing after i went back and re-watched the scene again, was pretty sick seeing them all eating the leg. It's not looking very hopeful for Bob..
Somebody in a comment section suggested that perhaps, since his leg was chopped, maybe he'll be like Hershel, and survive cause they took his leg off shortly after??? Don't know. Just a thought.
Btw, in next weeks previews, someone starts to attack Sasha who is looking for Bob. Is that the same guy?
Yea, all those guys chomping on poor Bob's leg like it's nothing. OMG. Talk about losing a moral compass.
I think Bob was bitten by the "prune" zombie in the flooded basement scene, and that is why he was outside of the church crying when abducted by Gareth. Now that they have roasted his leg and eaten it, I wonder if they're all going to "turn."

I thought that too. Wouldn't that be some form of just desserts? Ha ha ha!! My God, Gareth & crew are so creepy!!!
I don't remember if any of you guys mentioned it, but is anyone into TWD comic book? I found out after I got into the the show that there was a WD comic book.
I know many times when I read comments on either WD site or just general comment after an article some people will say what happens next in the comic book. I try to avoid reading those comments because I hate spoilers. A while back I accidentally read that in the comics one of the major characters was gonna die soon. That was a bummer, but so far, in the series that has NOT happened. So I don't always believe what the comic fans say.
On a positive note tho, I have heard, even thru the writers of the show that the show does NOT necessarily follow exactly, the comic book. For instance, I don't believe the comic has the Darryl character. Or maybe the do now since he is so popular.
I was going to check them out from the library but I changed my mind.
I wouldn't read them if I were you Mig. While as I understand it, the tv series does NOT follow the comic book exactly, there still would be spoilers. My two cents.
My eldest son has read the series of books that have come from the TV show and he reports that oddly enough Rick isn't in them and the Governor is the main character!!

I DO remember reading the Governor was a main character in the comics but didn't realize Rick wasn't in it. He is my favorite, along with Darryl. Tho the entire cast is excellent IMHO. I shy away from reading comic book comments just in case there are spoilers. BUT, I'm kind of glad to see the series strays from the comic quite a bit it seems.
Oh yea, Shane was a great character. I was so sorry to see him go and totally shocked in his final episode. I was really surprised they got rid of the character.
I can't believe nobody's commented on last night's episode yet.
SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5 EPISODE 3
A few thoughts:
Do you think Maggie/Glen should have left. Just last week they were agreeing how they all had to stay together.
Poor poor Bob. Sad seeing him go. You know it had to be hard for Tyrese to put him down.
OMG and Gareth. What a evil SOB he is. The scene in the church was great. Remember when Rick, Darryl, Glen were at the trough and Rick tells Gareth what weapons were hidden behind the fence? Rick described a red handled knife and told Gareth, "that's what I'm gonna kill you with." And sure enough he brutally did.
Finally, I wonder where Darryl & Carol are? By previews it appears Beth is in some kind of hospital but I didn't see Darryl or Carol.
I thought it was an excellent episode.
Oh, and one more thing, Pastor Gabriel. I know he's a man of the cloth, but what a chikensh*t. I mean this is Walker world we're talking about. He appears to be a big baby.

Hershel was bit on the leg which was quickly amputated.
I thought it was funny when Bob got revenge on Gareth and the Terminites well sort of considering they are already infected. But Good for you Bob. I knew he got bit just the way he was acting last epi. Sad to see him go.
I'm so confused about this Beth story line. I was thinking that Morgan might be with Darryl. Can't be Carol she would've been with him. But we shall see.
I don't like how the group split. I understand they need to get to DC so Eugene can work his magic but whats a couple more days?
bob had the last laugh on the termites. telling them they were eating tainted meat. where was carol. on the plus side michonne got her sword back. looks like there is a new novel out titles the fall of the governor part one.
I can't believe nobody's commented on last night's episode yet.

Oh, and one more thing, Pastor Gabriel. I know he's a man of the cloth, but what a chikensh*t. I mean this is Walker world we're talking about. He appears to be a big baby.
TIS
i believe the actor playing pastor Gabriel was also on both the wire and oz.
I thought that too. Even tho, Darryl never met Morgan and wouldn't know who he was unless one of them mentioned Rick. Doesn't mean that Darryl didn't run into him on the road tho. Just the way Darryl said "you can come out" makes me think it was NOT Carol with him.
A excellent episode as usual, I'm surprised Gareth was killed so early in the season but it was a excellent scene the darkness to it along with the music, Rick really is cold now, along with Michone..
It appears Beth was taken to Atlanta into some hospital, but did they come back with that's the question.. One thing i don't understand is that Maggie is Beth's sister but she hasn't mentioned her kidnapping
I am really looking forward to tomorrow's episode. I'm curious as to whom has Beth!!
I'm an official TWD nerd. With my first I-Phone I downloaded the WD theme as a ringtone AND as I was experimenting with my phone I Zombie-fied myself. Ha ha ha!!! Quite fun.
Well disturbing yes, but several TWD have been disturbing but good nonetheless IMHO. I especially liked the last half hour. And YES that was Carol. And yes Gorman gave me the creeps, the disgusting sleazeball.
A ok episode but probably one of the worst, why is it when ever we are introduced to new characters they are all controlling freaks, does the woman police officer know she not a police officer anymore and she's also horrible and i hope she get's whats coming to her..
I really can't say I'm shocked at Eugene's admission. He seems pretty odd and like the Preacher, a real chicken. TWD tends to do well with flashbacks (ie Abraham & his wife/kids) tho it seems they are suddenly in flashback.
I was really hoping to see who Darryl had with him and was disappointed they didn't show Rick/Darryl & crew. From previews it looks like Carol got out of hospital and I'm guessing group is planning to rescue Beth.
I do have to watch again because I actually nodded out a couple times (lack of sleep). Anyway, here's a link that gives a good synopsis of last night's episode.
TIS...I thought it was better than last week's Beth-isode, but certainly not one of TWD's best. I think that Darryl must have the black kid from the hospital with him, and I think Carol let herself be captured in order to get into the hospital to spring Beth...after all, she's on a roll. It seems as though they are setting the stage for the last few episodes remaining in the season...they'll wrap up the church, hospital and Abraham's reaction to Eugene's revelation.
So Eugene was lying after all to make some new friends,interesting to see if they carry on to Washington regardless of Eugene not being a scientist and i think we need to see Rick back on screen as the show never seems to be as good when he is not in it.

I'm with you there DeNiro. I don't mind an episode or two without the regulars, BUT it's time to go back to Rick/Darryl. Even with the Governor, who was a GREAT charcter/bad guy, I was ready for them to get back to the group.
You almost feel sorry for Eugene, yet that's one hell of a lie. I don't see any reason for them to continue their trip.
Also, I still am surprised that Maggie hasn't seemed to mention finding her sister.
Did Eugene die when he was hit the floor, he didn't look too good?
Well glad I'm not the only one wondering. My daughter asked the same thing. Looked like he could have been dead. I guess we'll have to wait til next week.
I think he's still alive, but won't be chomping on any food for a while.
I told my Nephew right before Eugene announced that, that I thought he was full of it and didn't know any cure. To me the storyline made no sense then as soon as I get it out of my mouth he said it.....lol
When they were in the train car and Eugene explained how he knew he had the cure, I didn't know what the hell he was talking about either. Sounded like he knew what he was saying. LOL

TIS
That's how I picked up on it, too many times he was just spitting shit out and I had an inkling that he was full of it. Then when he claimed crap being classified in the last episode that just sure enough told me he was full of it and that's when I told my Nephew he was lying.
Oh, right. Yeah that's a pretty good possibility too. However, at the end of the episode, where it shows Darryl and his mystery partner, he "introduces" whomever is there like the group should recognize him.
I think he says something to the effect of "Look who it is..." granted I think the only ones who may know Morgan are Rick and Carl.
I thought Darryl said "you can come out now!" When the very next episode went to Beth's story, I was thinking that that scene with Darryl would continue next week with Noah coming out of the woods. However, the fact that they showed Morgan, could be him too IMHO. I'm hoping we'll know Sunday.
you're right TIS, that is what he said. Could be either one at this point, though I suspect Noah will meet a pretty quick end since the cast is already huge.
I don't think Morgan would be hiding behind Darryl and I don't think the two know each other for Morgan to just trust Darryl at this point. Morgan has been on his own from the start and has survived.
Darryl was with Carol who ended up at the hospital. It makes sense it is Noah with him. I wouldn't be surprised to not even see Morgan this season as he could keep following the group and take awhile to catch them.
the Eugene episode was good. Abraham didn't kill himself in the flashbacks because Eugene cam along. i liked how at the episode Abraham falls to his knees knowing that it has been all for nothing. it looks like they are going to try and rescue beth.

TIS
Looks like we will have to wait at least another week TIS! I'm thinking that some of these loose ends, not all but some, will start to get tied up over the last 2 episodes of 2014 before the break.
Click to reveal..
At the end of last Sunday's episode when we see Carol being wheeled in on the gurney, was I the only one who thought that she was faking it so that she could get into the hospital? What a surprise this week when we see that she actually was hit by a car!
As for Beth, I think that she is going to kill that bitch in the hospital. That bitch Dawn is to Beth what the Governor was to Michone!
No you are NOT the only one. I had the same thought. They way it ended last night, sounds like they're gonna "disconnect" Carol? I'm thinking Beth has a plan.
We got to see a little flashbacks of Carol and learn a little of her personal life, as well as Darryl's (ie the book about abuse?)
Action as well, with the van getting pushed off the bridge by walkers; Noah actually stealing Darryl's Bow. WTF? LOL What was with all those walkers in the hospital area....like they were campers.
AND,I'm confused as to the body Darryl dragged out & they burned. Who was it?
Good episode again, but I am ready to see Rick & the gang again. Looks like we will next week.

TIS
Looked to me like those walkers in the tents were shot when they were humans, and then they turned into walkers. If you watch the episode again you will notice that those walkers who were wrapped up in the sleeping bags had blood circles on those sleeping bags that could have been made from bullets shot into them. Did those people lock themselves in that small hallway, set up camp to be safe from the apocalypse only to be killed by....perhaps....the crew in the hospital that is holding Beth?
As for the bodies that Daryl dragged out and burned.... those were the bodies of a mother and small child who had died.
ugh that's two filler episodes in a row. I hate how they do this with a show that has a 16 episode season. How they make something so short so plodding is beyond me.
But I suspect the campers (seeing left overs from survivors who've died off - like the Country Club episode last season - is one of the best parts of the show) were just survivors who died. Possibly by ambush, or one of them being bit and no telling anyone, etc.
Three episodes without Rick, enough's enough. I can tell these last two episodes are leading up to the mid season finale, with the group rescuing Beth from the hospital.
I'm with you Mig, I don't see Morgan showing up until this storyline with the hospital is over. Just wonder which Morgan will show, the crazy one or the true survivor that saved Rick?
It is depressing to think that there are only two episodes left before the season break, but that is at least better than the Sons of Anarchy...only two episodes left ever...so sad

Last night's episode was much better..I feel like we're back to normal again. How 'bout the "new" Bob...pretty sneaky move. In next week's show, we should have freed Beth and Carol, reunite with the rest of the group and then on the road again...just in time for the mid-season break!!!
Yea I wasn't too trusting of Bob either, tho I still was kind of taken by surprise when he took off.
What is with the reverend? He goes on the run with no weapons, knowing there's walkers out there. I know he's a man of the cloth but desperate times calls for desperate measures no? Where is he going?
That's a great question TIS, Rick always said he felt that the good Rev. was hiding something...I guess we're going to find out. It is awfully suspicious that he would leave with no machete, gun, etc. Have a nice Thanksgiving
I told you it's always better when Rick's in the show.A much better episode but nothing ever runs smoothly haha, Cant wait for next weeks showdown and i hope they teach the police gang a lesson..

Thank you, you too!!!
Either Gabriel has some deep dark secret we'll find out next week OR he'll easily get eaten. Why out on his own with nothing? He's pure Walker bait.
Ha ha ha! No it's not just you DeNiro. I really don't get his purpose, unless of course something is going to be unleashed next week. He is such a pansy!!
OMG, did you guys see this? Norman Reedus (Darryll) says to "prepare for a devastating mid season finale!! Nooooo!! Don't know what it is but they better not kill off Darryl OR Rick!!
They can't kill Darryl off surely but you never know with this show going on previous seasons, i think it could be Carol or Beth that gets it, but more than likely Beth..
You know what would be "devastating"...especially for the female viewers...the revelation that Daryl is gay. I think they may be heading that way...he's had several opportunities to "hook up" with Carol (and you know that they have feelings for each other), and he hasn't...just sayin.
Ya there was a decent amount of talk before this season started airing about daryl's character possibly being outed as gay sometime this season. Now ive been a fan of the show since the first week that its aired, but the shows been circling the drain for awhile now and if they resort to making daryl gay in a blatant PC stunt, i wont watch another episode.

I too am really looking forward to it. One of the writers/producers said a lot happens in the last few minutes? Hmmm I'm still thinking if someone goes, it'll be Beth. Yet, we have been surprised before. As long as it's not Rick or Darryl.
I feel your pain.....I think either Beth or Carol are going to die and/or we will find out that Darryl prefers boxers to thongs....either way it's shaping up to be a revealing evening. 😊
Fair enough if it had come from someone within TWD, thought it was just some stupid internet rumor. It wouldn't make a difference to me in any case,how it will fit in with the show i'm not sure.
Good episode. I suspected that Beth would be the one to go. Looks like the hospital could have been a safe haven but Rick and gang didn't seem interested. Is Father Gabriel growing a pair finally? LOl Outside the church he actually grabbed a weapon. And what about Morgan, who they keep showing. He found the church. I didn't get what that paper was that had Rick's name on it, but he's getting close.
Speaking of Rick Boy, he sure has become a show "no mercy" fighter hasn't he?
As far as Darryl character being gay. I am not freaking out about it. I just don't think it'll happen. As I recall, someone asked the writer/s or someone affiliated with the show that question, and the reply was "You never know. Anything is possible." I think that was just an off the cuff remark.

Im pretty sure that was the map that Abraham gave rick that had their destination in Washington marked on it. I think.
Thanks Dellacroce. All I saw was "Rick Grimes" and wasn't sure what it was.
Did anyone watch "Talking Dead?" I only saw half of it but Emily Kinney (Beth) was guest. She was very emotional and fought back tears a few times. Sounds like the group of actors are very close off screen as well as on.

I was in KY visiting with my Uncle and Aunt and I totally forgot it was on till my cousin's friend starting crying and I asked what happened and she said that Beth got killed. OMG she was going on and on how she's not going to watch the show ever again. I thought that was funny. I'll watch it tonight on demand.
Here's info on a "companion" series of TWD (yet untitled). I dunno! It's suppose to take place at the same zombie apocalypse but in a different city/state.
I am sure I'll check it out, BUT something tells me it's not a good idea. Overkill maybe????
Here's the latest on the spinoff of TWD. Not too much more info. Apparently it will take place in L.A. (don't know if it will actually be filmed there). Supposedly, this will take place right after the Apocalypse. Can't say I know any of the cast, but maybe some of you will.
From the article:
The still-growing cast includes Cliff Curtis (Gang Related), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‘s Tom Riddle) and Aussie actress Alycia Debnam Carey (McLeod’s Daughters).
I actually think Better Call Saul has the potential to be good though.
ya that's true. Bob Odenkirk is a really good actor, im glad hes finally getting his own show. hes always great in whatever hes in, but he always seems to be a background character until now. he actually tried out for the Micheal character on "The Office" but ofcourse steve carell got it, what a different show that would've been.
TWD marathon is on now. I've only watched a few episodes. They are on the one in which Carol kills Lizzie. One of the "shocker" episodes. That's what I love about this series. You don't see it coming and then BAM!!!!

Yep. LOL Actually, for fun, I only downloaded the "Dead Yourself" app. I Deaded myself and sent it to my kids. Then, the grandkids had fun with the app and created themselves as zombies.
Won't be long now guys. Get the popcorn ready. As I mentioned before, my daughter has AT&T I have TimeWarner. TWD shows 3 hours earlier for her than me. Bummer!!! But, I'm gonna spend the night there tomorrow and we'll watch it together. I can't wait. I miss Rick, Darryl and the gang.
Plus, here's a good interview with Andrew Lincoln AND the first two minute clip of Sunday's episode.
You know TIS, you don't have to go through this all by yourself. We are here to help you get this Walking Dead monkey off your back. Addiction is a terrible thing, but together we can beat it and face the upcoming seasons and inevitable years of reruns with hope.
As i have season 1-4 on DVD, i finally got my gf to watch it, she's not a big fan but we enjoy watching it together as she knows how much i love it. Its strange as she dislikes Shane and The Gov and i love them haha..

Yea DeNiro, TWD isn't for everyone I guess. My daughter and I love it. I always liked Shane too but he did go a little to the dark side in the end. I was disappointed when he got killed off. The Governor wasn't a good person but I thought the character was really good. A good villain.
Before I give my thoughts on last nights epi, where are they now?
I seen a South Carolina county road sign last night in Tyrese's hallucinations at the first of the show so I say they are either still in East Georgia or West South Carolina.
Yes, they decided to head toward VA even tho Eugene lied about a cure because they still think there may be hope there. I too saw sign saying North Carolina. I got impression they were out of GA, but not sure. SPOILER
Pretty good episode. I was really surprised and sad we lost Tyrese. Such a good guy who protected baby Judith til she was returned to her father. The hallucinations were interesting. As explained on Talking Dead, Tyrese saw the enemies who criticized him and then Beth who's telling him "it's not so bad." Missed not seeing much of Darryl, Carol and I don't recall seeing Carl.
Previews next week sound like they're looking for food. Doesn't look good for them.
I watched it again tonight on demand. I think they are in VA due to Machonne says they are 100 miles from DC. I'm sad that Tyreese got bit and died. Glad they didn't show him turning.
Sort of surprised that he didn't have a vision of his girlfriend. They showed a snip it of Carl and Daryl at the funeral.
They need to stop killing so many characters so quickly as i can't cope emotionally, i was sad to see Tyresse killed as i was liking his character, he was just a nice guy..Not sure how Sasha will cope now after her BF and brother have both been killed..
Not a bad episode showing the groups desperation. I think the intent was to show how each individual is dealing with the situation after all their losses.
What's the deal with the water left for them? I was thinking Morgan cause note mentioned Rick didn't it? Also the guy at the end, Aaron? He also mentioned he wanted to talk to Rick. I'm wondering if he too is connected to Morgan (I Do think we'll see him again).
The wild dogs took me by surprise. Oh, and I got grossed out at Darryl eating a worm. Yuk Yuk Yuk!! I'm telling you, I'd starve first.
Yea I was thinking that Aaron might be hooked up with Morgan but at the mid season finale Morgan was still in GA and they are in VA now. Confusing!! I liked how Carl was taking good care of Judith. Covering her face when it started to rain with his hat.
From what i've read on the walking dead forum is that Aaron is from the comic books but im not sure what his intention is,but one thing for sure is that it won't end well.
I thought it was a good episode. I understand Rick's mistrust of Aaron, and laughed when he punched him. Ha ha Smart that Rick made Aaron eat the applesauce and he tested it too before giving it to baby Judith. Aaron seems sincere, and the new safe haven "appears" to be ok, but I am skeptical too. I too read that Aaron was from the comics but I don't know much else. I try not to get spoilers even tho I KNOW TWD does not follow comics exactly.
It seemed all of the gang trusted Aaron more than Rick. Michonne definitely wants to give Aaron a chance.
I actually don't blame Rick for being cautious. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is (Terminus).
I look so forward to one of the "shocker" moments, like when Rick took a bite out of what's his name's neck. I love the "I didn't see that coming" scenes.

I must've missed the neck biting scene. Or when he hauled off and punched Aaron.
I said that to my GF last night jokingly,cant see it myself..
The way this show is going wer more likely to see rick and daryl hook up Seriously the way they showed those two guys making out was f***ing disgusting. Whats up with gays being all over television, modern family, this new show sirens, there always throwing it in your face. Its like what ever happened to lesbians??
First of all, I am suspicious of this new place. Beautiful homes and it looks nice but something isn't right. WHY are they video taping/interview with everyone? The leader lady seems a bit too understanding/co-operative to be true, even thanking Glen for "kicking her son's ass."
AND the supposed "leader, Aiden, and his group seem like amateurs compared to Rick's group. Hanging the Walkers (or as they say 'Dead Heads' LOL)that kill their people? I'm no weapon expert, but it seems the guns they handed to Glen and group weren't enough.
Where did the young girl running thru the woods disappear to AND why was she being cold toward Karl?
Rick looks so different without the beard no? lol AND Carol looked so not her. Ha ha ha.
All and all something is not right and I agree with Karl who told his dad, they seem weak. Makes me wonder if they ever were beyond those gates.
Did anyone notice that Gabriel the priest was absent most of the episode, he is seen entering the town but not seen in the house when they are all together. Probably nothing but a little odd.

Dude,
You're right. I hadn't even noticed he wasn't with the group. Also, the gun Rick hid in the blender was gone?? That's suspicious. The husband of the lady who cut Rick's hair was kind of a creepy character no?
I was kind of hoping Morgan followed the group, saw Rick hide the gun and took it just in case he needed to rescue them. A little far fetched but I'm just hoping we get to see Morgan before the last episode of the season. That whole place seems sketchy, excited to find out what it is all about
Anything is possible. Remember Aaron told Sasha & Maggie that his leader heard about and wanted to meet Rick? How did they know who he was? Maybe Morgan? Last we saw Morgan he was pretty much off the deep end. Who knows that if he shows again, he's still not a little nutso? LOL
Last week they showed that Aaron was using a listening device. I liked the ruse that Carol was playing of Susie homemaker. I was wondering why that girl was going into the woods too. Was she following Rick?
Dad and Son taking out the walkers was great. I think they are teasing us with Morgan. Only 4 episodes left.

Speaking of Carol, when she was being recorded she said what a good man her husband was and how she missed him. WTF?? Why would she say that. The guy was an abusive wife beating, slimy low life, dick, if you get my drift!!
Well Mig, she was a politician so shall we say, she knows the game. And look, she manages to find the $800,000 track of homes. Ha ha
Another thing, when Rick was talking to Darryl (or maybe Karl) and said if these people were too weak that "we could just take the place from them." IF they are inept as Aiden and his group seemed, that's a plan anyway.
Btw, Yahoo has article on episode and mentioned a gun that had the inital "J" on it indicating it might be Morgan's who's last name started with J. I don't remember that scene or comment.
I really got a lot of tidbits and speculating out of this episode.
Did you see Talking Dead where they gave a audience member a fake Rick beard?
No, I fell asleep. I have to re-watch. I did see the poll as to which "Rick" look people preferred. I'm with the little bit of stubble crowd. Ha ha ha!! Btw, that baby (Judith) always seems so easy going no? I'm sure she's probably a twin and of course who knows how many takes they do BUT she seems like a good natured baby, if that makes sense. Ha ha I like that they have Rick holding/caring for her a lot of the time.
Probably so they won't view her as a threat and maybe they will view her as less intelligent and more likely to say unguarded things around her
I hope that's the case rather than she's "losing it" mentally/emotionally with all she's been thru.
I know they had listening devices to keep track of Rick/gang but I am wondering WHY each person had to have a Q &A video once they arrived? Fishy!
TIS
Carol has been through a lot, her character development may be my favorite, she went from a "damsel in distress" type to maybe the most ruthless character in the show.
The people in that town don't seem to be in touch with reality.
The Walking Dead’s season five finale will be an extended 90-minute episode airing March 29 at 9 p.m., AMC announced Wednesday. In the finale, Daryl finds himself in trouble while out on the run. Meanwhile, in Alexandria, Rick and his group continue to feel like outsiders as danger lurks near the gates.
Thanks Dude. Don't we all just KNOW something is not right about Alexandria, just not quite certain what that is. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
I suspect (and only a hunch) that a major character will be killed. By Reedus' comment, I'm thinking I may be right.

Welcome.
Season five has been pretty rough with losing Bob, Beth and Tyrese, I think the mid season finale was one of the saddest but best made episodes(my opinion). Losing Beth kind of set the tone for this second half of the season, very melancholy. The group has seemed to be of their last leg physically and mentally, losing anyone else may push some to the point on no return.
This season it could be Glenn or Carol, but we have been saying this for last two or three seasons..
You know how I hate spoilers. A couple seasons ago (3??) I was reading an article that said a major character would killed off because this character was killed off in the comics. I hated that I read that and tried to block it out. lol Well, TWD tv show doesn't always follow the comics (ie I understand Darryl is not even in the comics). That character was NOT killed off but I am wondering now if that "kill-off" won't be this season. Reedus mentioned in an article to "get your hankies out." Than again, he IS promoting the show.

Silly video, peoples reaction to Beth's death
Ha ha ha! Yea, I heard there was a petition to get Beth back. Now how do you do that? LOL I liked her and it was sad but I felt worse when Lori and Herschel(especially) died. Part of the greatness of the show is the element of surprise. I love it!
Well Carol answered any questions I had about why she was acting so "June Cleaver-ish". She'd totally playing them. And the way she talked to that kid. Ha ha ha Yea, go smell the flowers. ha ha
I sense that Aaron is probably a good guy tho not certain about exactly what it is he wants from Darryl.
Three questions I still want answered: Where was the priest? Though I think I saw him in the preview for next weeks episode Who took the gun? The wolves or someone from Alexandria? Where the heck is Morgan?

He seems to have a thing for Darryl, hopefully he isn't tricking him into trusting them.
Aww well it's starting from the beginning again, then along the same timeframe as Rick & co, also the creator of the comics has full control over it,as he wasn't happy with AMC writers straying away from the comic storyline,
Also thought the finale was last week cause morons wouldn't shut up talking bout it on news sites, but 3 more episodes YAY
The Walking Dead’s executive producer David Alpert opened up about the AMC show’s highly anticipated companion series during a talk hosted by The Daily Beast at SXSW. Earlier this week, fans of AMC’s immensely popular zombie drama The Walking Dead were given a very special treat: news that the show’s companion series, with a working title of Fear the Walking Dead, had been picked up for two seasons by AMC. Season One will kick off this summer with six one-hour episodes, while Season 2 will come in 2016.
Details on the spin-off have been scarce. We know that the pilot was penned by Walking Dead mastermind Robert Kirkman and Sons of Anarchy producer Dave Erickson, who will serve as the new series’ showrunner, and it’s set in Los Angeles. We’ve also learned that the leads will be actors Cliff Curtis (Whale Rider) and Kim Dickens (House of Cards), with the former playing a divorced ex-schoolteacher.
On Friday evening at SXSW, The Daily Beast hosted a dinner and discussion at the Palm Door restaurant in Downtown Austin, Texas, on how serialized dramas have taken the country by storm. The multidisciplinary talk was emceed by Beast Editor-in-Chief John Avlon, and one of the participants was none other than David Alpert, the executive producer of The Walking Dead (and its spin-off). Alpert runs the production company Skybound Entertainment with Kirkman, and played an integral role in getting both The Walking Dead and its upcoming companion series to our televisions.
"The rules will be the same: zombies don’t talk, and there will be no zombie animals. But other than that, as far as references and things, there will only be a few Easter eggs—and those six seconds." “When we were tasked with the idea of creating a companion show, we didn’t want to do the traditional thing where we’d take Joey from Friends and create Joey,” Alpert said. “So we boiled it down to what we thought were the core tenets and principles of The Walking Dead as a show—obviously zombies being one of them, but it’s mostly about emotionally investing yourself in these characters.”
According to Alpert, while the show will take place in the same universe as what he calls its “mother show,” The Walking Dead, it will be a drastically different animal.
“It’s not quite a prequel,” said Alpert. “We’re going to play with the timeline a little bit, so you’ll be seeing things that you haven’t seen on [The Walking Dead]. It’s in an entirely different location—we shot the pilot in Los Angeles—and we’re going to invest ourselves in these characters that are nuanced, detailed, and honestly really f--ked up and having these awful experiences between themselves, and trying to find a way, as a lot of us do. You have an ex-wife, you have an ex-husband, and you’re trying to find out, ‘How do I pick up the kids from school?’ and just when you think you can barely hold on, zombies start coming.”
He added, “There’s going to be six seconds that reference the mother show. Six seconds. Other than that, the show will be an entirely stand-alone thing. The rules will be the same: zombies don’t talk, and there will be no zombie animals. But other than that, as far as references and things, there will only be a few Easter eggs—and those six seconds.”
Alpert also told a story of the time they initially sold The Walking Dead to a major TV network, NBC, and how immensely frustrating the process was.
“The book was originally published in 2003, and we sold it in 2005 to NBC,” Alpert recalled. “I remember sitting down with the president of NBC at the time and saying, ‘You want to put this on your network?’ and I held up the book and it has a picture of a zombie with blood all over his face and scared Rick holding a gun. ‘This is never going to go on NBC.’ The exec said, ‘No, we’re going to do something different and really shake things up!’ So we delivered the script exactly the way we said we would, and they passed. And I called them up and said, ‘Hey, remember me? Why didn’t you pick it up?’ and he said, ‘I can’t put zombies on NBC!’”
Really good episode. Poor Noah. And, I'm getting to like Abraham more & more. Oh, and yea Eugene, saving the day.
BUT, wtf is up with Father Gabrielle? That chickensh*t traitor. Glad that Maggie heard that conversation. What's her names husband is an abusive SOB. I sense a bond now between Carol & Sam (the little boy). BUT, the dark side of Carol appeared again in preview when she tells Rick HE must kill him. (Not that I'd mind). ha ha
I knew that Jane or whatever her name is husband was gonna be like Carol's dead ex. What's going on in the Pastor's mind that he had to throw the group under the bus when they saved his ass?
The congress woman is gonna be upset when she finds out about her son. Will the group seek revenge against the guy who got Noah killed?
I have a theory for you. I was talking to my Daughter about the show now that she is caught up now. She seems to think that since they haven't talked about the disease very much that she thinks that at the very end of the show that Rick will wake up and all of whats gone on will be a dream. What do you think?

First of all, I have NOT read nor seen anything confirming this, just throwing a possible "shocker" out there from little tidbits I've read/heard.
1. Norman Reedus (Darryl) said recently to "get your hankies out" for season finale. Yea, he's in the show and is I'm sure plugging it.
2. Carl is going to be on Talking Dead next week. Again, just because someone is on TTD doesn't mean they'll die BUT I wonder if it'll be Carl? Think about it. That would be a shocker.
The show has had ups/downs, a couple slow moving episodes BUT it also has had huge shockers/surprises.
Yeah, I heard some shit about Glen too, I would hate to think Carl gets whacked, he can be the one who would bring it on to the next generation down the road.
Carol seams to be goin a little crazie but I think thats what happens when people who a more capable and experienced are being bossed around by weaker less skilled and knowlegable people.
I cant wait for Rick and his caged animals to steam roll these people, but then again isen't that what The Governer wanted to do to them.
Rick better not go!! He & Darryl make the show (along with a great cast). Yea, the fight did get quite intense didn't it? I have no sympathy for wife beaters.
And what's with Michonne knocking Rick out. Rick IS correct that the people in Alexandria don't know what it's really like in Walker World.
Did I miss it, or did they ever show Maggie telling the group what she overheard Father Gabriel tell Deanna?
Actually I think that's why Michonne hit (more like clobbered) him. Ha ha. He wanted this guy all to himself. I am ok with him going off on him as long as it isn't another "ghost Laurie" type episode with Rick going off deep end again. That storyline was too drawn out imho.
Carl was on Talking Dead Sunday. Seemed so grown up. Sounds like a nice kid. He said that Andrew Lincoln (Rick) loves filming those fight scenes.

Funnie, I watched the talking dead for the first time this past week and noticed Carls reaction to the discussion regarding who would no longer be with us after the season finale, his face made me think it was him.
I wonder if he is looking for work since he also made a comment that he's planning to make the talk show rounds.
Supposed to be a battle scene , but with who I've no idea , could be the people in the town , or this new group that have been carving all the W in people's heads ,
Bet if it's the new group, it'll be daryl and arron out in the woods and they'll cross paths with them and they'll let darryl go to warn the others , but kill arron,
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Fans of "The Walking Dead" will get a little bonus during this Sunday's Season 5 finale event.
The first promo for "The Walking Dead" spinoff series will reportedly air during Sunday's edition of "The Talking Dead" after show, according to ScreenFad. The spinoff/companion series, tentatively titled "Fear The Walking Dead," will debut later this summer on AMC and has already been picked up for two seasons.
The spinoff is set in Los Angeles and features an entirely different cast than "The Walking Dead." Yet, while the spinoff will begin as a prequel, its storyline will quickly run parallel to that of AMC's top cable show.
So much for going to bed early. This Sunday's "The Talking Dead" will feature guests Melissa McBride, Norman Reedus, Scott Gimple and likely a few surprise visitors.
Oh ok. Thanks DonMega. I am sure I'll check it out but for some reason I am not very optimistic. Still, might be good. Do you know if it is actually filmed in L.A. I can't remember?
The new show got picked up for two seasons, the first of which will be six episodes long. It stars Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey. Dickens will play a guidance counselor, and Dillane and Carey will play her children. Dickens' and Curtis' characters will reportedly be in a relationship.
Set in Los Angeles around the time of the zombie outbreak, "Fear the Walking Dead" will act as something of a prequel for "The Walking Dead," which is set in and around Atlanta and featured a time jump in its pilot to months after the apocalypse.
Season 1 of "Fear the Walking Dead" will premiere in late summer 2015, while Season 2 will air in 2016
I think the fact the both Glen & Sasha didn't kill their victims was to show they STILL have humanity. Tho, I wouldn't have cried had they done it.
I was on edge for a while thinking Glen might get and tho I really didn't think writers would DARE kill Darryl off, it was tense seeing how they'd get out of that. Morgan to the rescue!!
I liked the ending, with Deanna saying "Rick...do it!" I was preparing for a major loss, but gotta admit, I am relieved that nobody "important" died.
Btw, Abraham is sort of growing on me. He's got a way with words. Ha ha
So glad Morgan is back and it looks like he'll be a regular finally in S6. I was really hoping Father Gabrial was going to get it, man he's annoying.. I think Carol is the secret leader of this group or a very good Consigliere. Also for a few minutes i thought Glenn was dead also.
On Talking Dead they said that the finale episode aired in the UK same night as it did in the U.S. Don't you usually have to wait a few days to see it? ALSO, who would have thought that Morgan is a Brit. Even the audience was surprised when he spoke.
Yea, they spun it like a major character was gonna die but that didn't happen.
I'm not sure when its on in the Uk as i stream it on the Monday on the Internet. Morgan is a very accomplished actor here in the UK and has been in lots of good British films..
I finally got to watch the finale. Glad the Pete got what was coming to him. Felt a little bad that reg had to go. Yay Morgan is back. gonna be a long 6 months till it comes back on.

[quote=DonMega1888]Yeah it's the same writers , the guy who made the comic , wanted to do this because AMC changed the storyline of the original walking dead so much,
So they greenlighted 2 seasons of this for him,and they take over the walking dead without his interference [/quote
I'm sort of leery about a spinoff but if writing is good and if the actors are as good as in TWD, it could work. I definitely am going to tune in.
For some reason ALL the youtube & videos in this thread show a "need plug-in" message. I can go to youtube and download and watch, I only get message here on the BB. If you could supply the link instead of the video itself I think it will work.
On another topic, I am kind of glad I don't read the comics. I had no idea TWD was a comic book until way after show aired. Sometimes I'd read comments under TWD articles and people would say how different it was. In particular, I was real sorry I read what COULD have been a MAJOR spoiler for someone like me who didn't read the comics, when someone posted that Glen died in season 3 or 4??? I tried to block it out as I watched that season, but can't unring that bell. Glad that story didn't follow comics. Still you never know. Also I learned that there was never a Darryl in the comics.
I have both Google Chrome and FireFox. I can't open on FF but it was fine on Chrome. Don't know why.
Anyway, yea, that link was on the AMC site. Looks really good doesn't it? What I love is when Fear-TWD ends,it'll be just in time for TWD to begin. Did they say if it was actually filmed in LA, I forgot? Maybe I could drive up there an watch the filming. How cool would that be?
From what I can tell from AMC site, no specific day in August is given. We'll make sure to post when we know.
Production of the pilot episode began in early 2015 and ended on February 6, 2015.[18][19] The pilot episode was filmed in Los Angeles and the remaining first season episodes will be filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.[20] Production began on the remaining five first-season episodes on May 11, 2015, in Vancouver.[5] Adam Davidson, who directed the pilot, will also direct the series' second and third episodes.
next season of WD is gonna great tho, loads of new charaters added

Damn! Well, I'm certainly not driving to Canada.
Thanks for the info. I'll look for familiar sites in the pilot. Unless of course, it's filmed at Universal or something.
Yeah it's the same writers , the guy who made the comic , wanted to do this because AMC changed the storyline of the original walking dead so much,

Kirkman? He's a pretty good writer. They probably should have just let him control the main series, honestly. The show was pretty disjointed in seasons 2 & 3. The last 2 have been really enjoyable though, so I can't complain. and hey, I freakin' love zombies, so two shows? Sounds good to me.
A reminder to all TWD fans that FTWD starts this Sunday, 8-23. I saw they are also gonna have a segment of The Talking Dead discussing TWD. Carl is on the show. Man, has he grown even since last season.
I just LOVE the ad for season 6, with Rick saying "Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" Ha ha ha Just wondering WHO he's talking too. I even saw somewhere that they are selling t-shirts with that on it. LMAO
I think a separate thread would be better TIS, that way we don't have to scroll though looking for separate shows..
Agree

I'm thinking she'll come around. If you recall last season ended when she told Rick to "do it" (kill her husband's murderer).
Btw, AMC ran TWD all day Sunday before the premier of FTWD. I caught a couple episodes and was reminded how good of a season it really was.
Also had to wonder what Father Gabriel added to the story. I know he is in the comic book. He is such a cry baby. Ha ha ha. Goes out for a stroll without any weapons asking Walkers to kill him, then curls up in a ball and cries when they come at him. So why is he there?

Was a good episode, i liked the two time lines story, not sure what the noise was at the end of the episode though..
I liked it also, it was great.
We were being treated to flash forwards while also seeing present time, so when watching present time we had inside info as to what was going on.
I think the horn blowing at the end was the Wolves ruining there plan.
If not the wolves then it was the son of the dead abuser doctor.
Great episode really enjoyed it. Still haven't seen the final episode of Fear The Walking Dead.
Do you think it might have been the Priest who was blowing the horn due to he threw the group under the bus before? Felt bad for Carter, He said on Talking Dead that he's auditioned for the show several times and finally gets on and has one episode...lol
Harsh, the episode was set up for him to be killed, he tried to take on Rick behind his back and then he made up with Rick knowing he was right all along, from then on i knew he would be killed..
A bit of a strange episode but i think i enjoyed it.. I don't understand why they came under attack and they was being hacked to death, but i sure we will get to find out. Carol is a bad ass..
I am enjoying this season Mignon. I loved the Zombie herd. Morgan IMO is part of that invading group. He's up to something. I think this is their best season so far.
I just hope that Rick and Morgan don't end up clashing somehow this season, it would be a shame as we have waited so long for Morgan to join the series full time..
I think he's dead. Those Zombies were eating his intestines and picking him clean. He can't be hiding underneath Nicholas they would have seen right through him. Great episode.
OMG, NOT Glen!!! Just WOW!! I'm so sorry to see him go. Stupid Nicholas pulled him into the Walkers Den.
This article is interesting listing reasons WHY Glen might be alive and why he can't be alive. I stopped reading at the point in the article in which they suggest to stop reading because following comments were what happened to Glen in the comic book, which I don't read and don't want to know possible spoilers. So, if you read it, it's up to you. I accidentally read a couple years ago that in the comics Glen died tho much sooner than he did here. From what I understand the series does NOT necessarily follow the comic book.
Mig, on Talking Dead, Chris read a comment from producer basically saying (roughly) "We will see part of Glen again in some way shape or form." My guess, he'll be a Walker so the group will confirm he's dead.
That being said, I can't see how he'd be alive.
Btw, where/what exactly was Darryl doing when he took off from the herding? I don't get what his goal was?
Also, poor Rick in that camper. Someone will rescue him? Darryl?
I hate when favorite characters die, but all I can say is, don't mess with Rick or Darryl or I'll be pissed.
This might be far fetched but I think Nicholas fell on him and the walkers are eating him. With the blood and guts being on Glenn the walkers will leave him alone and he can escape. That might be wishful thinking though.
He might come back as a walker and make it to Alexandria and Maggie will be the one to find him and kill him then she will find out later that she's pregnant.
Idk what Darryl was trying to do either. I think that the rv will start up right before the herd gets to Rick. Do you think Rick was cut or bit?
You know I'm reading all kinds of comments on Yahoo, etc where people are suggesting he's not dead. I re-watched today and granted, it looks as tho the blood/guts are not his. However, since there were so many Walkers and there was no place else to go, I think he has to be dead. The Walkers wouldn't stop when they got to Glen. To make him survive would really really be jumping the shark IMO, unless some logical storyline I'm not thinking of reveals itself.
I agree however, that the group does need to find out what happened to Glen and the most logical is, they'll see him as a Walker IMO.
Re Rick's hand. I did NOT see that he was bitten, but after he sliced up a walker he started bleeding. I'm not sure if he accidentally cut himself OR not. I hate it when my favorite/good characters die but damn, that's part of what makes this show so good. You NEVER know!!
Btw, next week's episode will be an hour and a half.
It looked like Rick's hand was cut when he stabbed that walker and the handle broke off. It looked like he sliced his hand trying to get the blade out.
Glen can not escape that many walkers. I like your scenario Mignon.

Oh, I didn't see that the handle came off the knife. That would explain it then.
Yes, I'd say cut also but I think he cut it when removing the machete out of one of the Walkers backs after he became unarmed from his knife breaking on another walker.
Yea Rick cut it, I thought one of the walkers had a machete or something sticking through it's chest and that was how he cut it but I couldn't see it good.
But yea he wasn't bit. Also I don't think Glen was on Talking Dead was he?
I don't want to be spoiler but there are pics of Glenn out there working with the regulars in current taping episodes. That and the reason he wasn't on Talking Dead has me thinking he isn't dead.
I agree, anything IS possible on TWD but here are my rebuttal to the article.
I'd understand IF it had been only ONE Walker that Nicholas/Glen fell on but imo too many in a space where there was no way out? To create an escape seems really far fetched.
Writers said we'll see him again "in some way." I'm guessing as a Walker. The fact that Cohan (Maggie)said there is more to come well, I heard more than once that the people who are killed off don't know til the last possible minute. She maybe didn't know Glen was gonna get killed off OR knew and was not giving it away.
Chris Hardwick noted that Glen wasn't on Talking Dead. He said something to the effect that this episode was more to grieve. AND the fact that Glen is seen in the photo (last reason) well who knows if it's for a flashback scene. I believe we saw Herschel in new flashback scenes.
I may be all wrong and maybe this article will be right BUT I really do think if they go that route, it IS really "jumping the shark." Another Bobby in the Shower episode. I really don't think the writers would do it, BUT we'll see. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.
By the way, in terms of who could never be written off the show (at least before the end), the ultimate "survivor" is Rick. Daryl would be second.
What about Carol, I really do not see her as Third, she would have t be no less than second and Daryl third.
I have no idea how the comics go, or how much they still play into the shows writing, but I think it's safe to say that Daryl is a far more popular character than Carol. And that popularity may figure into how long they're kept around. In short, I'd expect to see Carol go first.

Same, no idea as to how the comics were played out.
I agree RIck,Carol and Daryl are the three untouchables,without any of those three and the show wouldn't be half as good. But i want to see the Daryl of old as in the current season Daryl hasn't really done much..
I heard that tonight's episode will be about Morgan and what he has been thru since Rick last saw him. I like Morgan but I hope the entire episode isn't just him. I wanna see a continuation of what happened last week.
Well, it hasn't aired yet here in my area. My daughter gets it thru ATT U-verse and it's on East Cost time. She said the entire episode is Morgan. They don't show any of the others. She didn't think it was that good. Man, last week on the edge of our seats and this week????? I like Morgan but hour and a half ONLY him?

TIS i really enjoyed the episode. IMO it was probably one of the better ones.
Oh really? Different strokes I guess. LOL To me, it was my least favorite of all TWD episodes. I don't think they needed an hour and a half to give backdrop story on Morgan. Got to the point when he kept saying "kill me", I wish they would have. I actually dozed off last 10/15 min. I'll try to watch again but am sure I'll be fast forwarding.
TWD IMHO spent too much time on Ghost Laurie (1 episode would have been more than enough) AND as much as I think the Governor was a great villain, and I liked him, they spent 2 entire episodes on him. I do think fans like to see Rick/Darryl, etc. ESPECIALLY after last week's episode with Glen dying. Just my opinion. Still my favorite show. I can forgive a couple not so good episodes.
Not the best episode obviously, but a OK filler and we learn a little bit of Morgans back story. Hopefully next week we will be back to the group and we found out what has happend to Glen
Good episode. I had a feeling Maggie was pregnant. Remember the producer, Nick Nitero(?) said this episode would end with Glen, some part of Glen being acknowledged?
I'm reading a lot of stories on how pissed the fans are cause Glen's fate hasn't been shown yet. Many still thinking he's alive. I may totally wrong but I don't see how Glen can possibly be alive.
I just assume within the next couple episodes, we'll get the confirmation, maybe either his watch or we'll see him as a walker.
I try not to make too much out of comments I read (various articles)comparing TWD story line to the comic book. From what I gather, however, there is a character in the comic book called "Negan" who supposedly is a villain. I read that that character is coming to the show will be played by an actor I'm not familiar with, Garret Dillahunt from a show I never saw, Deadwood. Some of you may know him.
I think many in Alexandria are realizing what it is really like out there. (More Walkers than ever these days) Jessie's son asking Rick for help shooting a gun is a good sign. Don't know yet what happened to Carl's friend Erin (?);
Missed Darryl & Carol but did you see next week's preview? Looks like Darryl is in a predicament.
After last night's episode I was left wondering. The conversation between Maggie and Aaron about not knowing what happened to Glen, and maybe never knowing seemed interesting. Like, maybe they won't.
Garret Dillahunt is good casting for the part of Negan, IMO. He can play menacing very well. He can also do comedy, not that he'll need that on TWD.

I saw this article today, claiming despite rumores that Dillahunt would play Negan, that Jeffrey Dean Morgan will take the role.
Can't say I knew him until I saw him most recently in the now cancelled series Extant. I liked him in the show and have seen other movies with him, without knowing his name. Still don't know anything about this Negan tho.
They cast Negan, so Glenn's days may have been numbered anyway. If they follow comic canon (which they mostly have this season) Glenn is killed during their first encounter with Negan. I'm pretty sure Glenn's dead, wouldn't make sense to use his death for shock value, bring him back, only to kill him off in the following season. Sucks. He was my favorite in the comics and the show.
Not the best episode if im being honest, this season seems to be turning into a soap opera and i think they have introduced too many characters into the group, which means we are not seeing certain people for 2 episodes as each one focuses on others.
I enjoyed Sunday's episode (11/15). Poor Darryl tries to be nice and return that girl's insulin and gets his bike/bow taken. Not too sure about those people but sounds like they're not really bad.
Did miss seeing Rick/Carol and the rest of the gang. I too hope they don't get so many characters that the main ones are shown less. I thought they said only 3 more episodes left before mid-season hiatus? Wow, that was quick.
I gotta say, I did NOT see that coming. I was convinced that Glen was dead and couldn't imagine how he'd get out of it. Even tho his survival seemed unlikely I really enjoyed last night's episode.
Enid is somewhat of a little brat no? I see Glen turning her around as a father figure perhaps.
And what's up with Ron. I sure hope he doesn't shoot Carl. Looks like that's what he wants.
The guy on the tightrope scene was pretty good. Not sure exactly WHY Morgan is hiding that guy (one of the Wolves?)
Oh, and we still don't know who was calling for help on the walkie talkie from last week's episode. I wonder if it's the couple that took Darryl's bike/bow.
This is my least favorite season by far so far, i know we are at a community but there is far too many new people who i have no regards for and we are seeing less of the regular characters..

I agree with too many characters DeNiro. I don't even remember most of their names.
TIS
FWIW, a couple little critiques. I loved the character of The Governor but they didn't need two full episodes with him on the road, so to speak. Just as they didn't need the entire episode of Morgan IMHO AND the episodes with "Ghost" Laurie were one too many. Not that they were bad but in my view drawn out.

Oh, and we still don't know who was calling for help on the walkie talkie from last week's episode. I wonder if it's the couple that took Darryl's bike/bow.
TIS
I think Enid is part of the Wolves group. She is always leaving the community. Why?
I think Rick will exile Morgan out the same way he did Carol. How did the steeple fall?
This is my least favorite season by far so far, i know we are at a community but there is far too many new people who i have no regards for and we are seeing less of the regular characters..
I agree with too many characters DeNiro. I don't even remember most of their names.
TIS
Interesting. While I agree that there are a lot of characters this season, making it a bit tough to remember everyone's names, I also think that this is a fantastic season so far. I'm really enjoying the entire story-line. The positive that I see in having so many characters is that you just don't know who to trust from week to week!
Just read some Yahoo comments on last night's episode. Most people totally trashed it. WTF? I thought it was good, especially the first 10/15 min. SPOILERS
Not use to seeing Carol a little "off" after Morgan slammed/hit her. Btw, I still think they can do without Morgan. I use to like him but he's annoying now
Glad Ron didn't shoot Carl, tho he would have if part of the building didn't collapse. Loved Carl told him "you're father was an asshole." He was
Loved the people's faces when Rick got Walker and told them to spread the Walker blood all over them. Ha ha Rick says "I've done it before." Really, shows you just how much they NEED Rick. Those people have been sheltered from what's happening.
TIS
Expected someone to die, but not necessarily Deanna.

***WARNING: SPOILERS****
I agree TIS. I thought that this episode was really really good. And while it was kind of sad to see Diana go, I did like the way that she decided to use the bullets in the gun for the "greater good" than to just oust herself.
Don't know if anyone hear follows the comics (I don't) but I hear this Negan is one badass dude. Supposedly, will make The Governor look tame. I read Negan's weapon of choice is a baseball bat covered in barbwire?? Maybe he'll knock that damn stick out of Morgan's hand.
I'm reading the comic in graphic novel format, but I try to stay behind in the comic in regards to the episodes / season that the show is up to. This way I can avoid any spoilers from the comic when I watch the show. ;-)
OMG! It was a GRERAT episode, if not the best. I loved it. Yes a lot of stuff went down. I will have to re-watch. This episode is definitely on the top of one of the best episodes.
Great Episode, we needed that after the dull first half of the season, i'm glad that little boy got killed(that sounds wrong i know) but he was annoying. I was surprised to see Karl get shot, i didnt see or hear anything. And also the guy with the W on his head, he had to die.
Was also good to see Daryl get some screen time and for him to something worthwhile.
Yes, right from the start when Darryl blows up the Negan motorcycle gang, literally started out with a bang. Didn't see it coming but I cheered.
I thought Glen was a goner for a minute too. Man, that guy is lucky.
I hear that in the comics Carl gets shot in the eye and comic book followers were waiting to see IF (Show doesn't follow comics all the time) it would happen. I didn't see the shot either. It happened so quickly. According to producer (Nitero) who was on Talking Dead right after, the bullet brushed Carl's face but left fragments of bullet in his eye. So glad he'll make it.
Sam was annoying. I didn't expect his whole family to go. Glad to see that Maggie saw Glen was back. I just love Rick & Darryl. I love the whole cast. Carol and Michonne are badasses too.
I also thought Glenn was a gonner but Abraham saved the day. The lake of fire was cool.
Sam's stopping caused a chain reaction big time. If ya want to get nit picky you could say that it was Carol's fault due to she scared the crap out of Sam. He was walking good till he thought about what she said.
I know alot of people who don't like the "Corral" character and would like to see him die. I was hoping we would've been able to see Rick and Sam's Mom evolve into something.
We will be seeing Negan in the last two episodes of the season. We will also see Dwight(The guy who stole the crossbow) again and there have been whispers that a major Character will be killed off. Could be Glen, but my money is on Darryl.

Why do you think Darryl? Seems to me that, next to Rick, Darryl is the most untouchable character on the show. Those two are the fan favorites and I'd be shocked if anything happened to Darryl before the end of the series.
He is a fan favorite, but now Dwight had stolen his crossbow, there is going to be a confrontation between the two, and Dwight is an important character in the comics. He becomes Negan number 2 be default, and has a big role later on. D is not going to take kindly to Dwight theft, and is going to want his weapon back, in the comics the crossbow is identified to Dwights character and is known to be the best marksman in the group. I am just wondering if they are going to shave Dwight hair in the show.
If TWD ever kills off either Rick or Darryl, I know I'll be pissed. They are untouchable if you ask me.
I'm anxious to see Negan. I've only read about his character who is in the comic book. I hear he is an evil, foul-mouthed guy who's weapon of choice is a baseball bat?? I know the actor(Jeffrey Dean Morgan) because recently he was on the tv show Extant. He has a familiar face but I'm not sure what else I may have seen him in. Anyway I look forward to Sunday.
I think if either of those two die, it will be the beginning of the end for TWD. They already have the ratings for the show, so it's not like they need to boost them.
Not a huge fan of tonight's episode. Rick and Darryl acting dumb with that guy and the truck kind of seems like a wasted/filler episode. Losing a whole truck full of supplies because of stupidity.
[Edit] I guess its the introduction to the new antagonist
Hard to compete with last week's episode. While this was no where near as good I enjoyed it. According to Talking Dead (Michonne was guest), this is 7 months later.
And who the hell is this Jesus character? LOL. AND All that wasted food. I enjoyed the "bro" time with Rick & Darryl. They said they were going for a Butch Cassidy/Sundance Kid.
Maybe it's weeks instead of months. Enough time to build the walls and clean up the streets of Walkers. I didn't mind the episode showing what seemed to be normalcy in their world. When are they gonna show Negan? I'm curious about him
In the last two episodes of the season is have heard, but read he will show up in the final episode. Jesus leading Rick and a few others in this next episode to an area, indicates we will see more of Negans followers, strong chance of Dwight if the rumors are true. Hard to say if Paul leads them to his community or to other camps that were destroyed when they refused Negans terms.
Alot of it is off track, they have been all acting out of charactor and stupid.
Why was Maggie present at an attack pregnant, rediculous.
I agree that they characters are acting reckless, but as for Maggie being there while pregnant, shows that she is showing a team effort, and knows you can't live behind a wall forever as there are dangers that can breach them. I didn't like she put the unborn child in harm's way, but it is a statement of her character, that she wants a more hands on with the group. If you pay attention to this episode and the start of the season, you can see she is taking on a more leadership role.
Here's sneak peek of Sunday's upcoming episode and it does look good. I can tell you already I hate the lady talking to Rick and the gang. A real bitch.
It's all leading up to the encounter with Degen but Rick doesn't know what he's letting himself in for. I think he'll be out of his depth in this battle/war. From what i've read Degen is one bad ass of a character. Should be a good end to the season and there will probably be a few deaths?
I think Carol was at a stage of evaluating what was happening. Was nice seeing Carol & Maggie bonding. Tho Maggie, being pregnant should not have gone in the first place IMHO. Not sorry at all the female bitch (forgot her name) got her face bitten off. LOL
The one guy said he was Negan but I know he wasn't. Still waiting for his arrival.
I enjoyed last weeks episode BUT at the same time found it disturbing. I guess I sort of wait for a sign that this group, who really only killed Walkers (for the most part) to show some kind of remorse. The outright killings of people sleeping was very unsettling.
The one guy said he was Negan but I know he wasn't. Still waiting for his arrival.
Everyone they talked to from that group said the same thing. Remember the woman that smoked said something about "we are all Neegan" or something like that.

As we know, there is one guy named Negan - the leader of the Saviors - played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. There are 3 episodes left and, from what I've read, he'll make his appearance in the season finale and it's supposed to be quite an entrance, so to speak.

I did not know that, thanks I.
Wife told me she thought they were done. It sure did look like it.
Earlier in the season Carol is as practical and able to kill as much as any of them. That's the very thing she butted heads with Morgan over when he took that Wolf hostage. But now she loses it and strikes out on her own because she just can't do it anymore? C'mon. Where and did this sudden turnabout originate? Sloppy!
Then you have Darryl, one of the smartest, most capable survivors in the group suddenly go off on his own to avenge the chick that got the arrow through the eye? Even if he wants payback for being tied up and his bike being stilen, he's going to be smarter than just riding off on his own. And then he let's Dwight get the drop on him so easy? Sloppy!
And to top it all off, the others follow them out there and allow themselves to get separated, 1 here, 2 there. It's just unrealistic.
They batter not kill Darryl, especially since it's Glenn that gets the bat treatment from Negan in the comics.
Very frustrating episode. All that shit happens because of Carol. Then Rick and Daryl totally take leave of their senses and get everyone into the worst situation possible. And then they cut it off so you don't even know who it was at the end that Negan killed. I hope Rick cuts that guys balls off.
I hate cliffhangers, but a good episode, i wouldn't like to be in there shoes.They could have at least shown you a clip of who got killed at the end. By the time season 7 comes around we won't be as shocked.
if I was to guess I say either Eugene or Carl got taken out. Good episode hate cliffhangers too!
I don't think Carl because Negan said "if they scream Take his other eye out and give it to Rick" Some people think Glenn, Abraham, Eugene, Michonne. On Talking Dead Kirkman or whatever his name is said they dropped hints so I will have to watch again. But we have to wait 6 months unless it gets leaked out.
That makes sense. One thing is for sure, somebody got clobbered with Lucille. Maybe Maggie since she seems to be the sickest. I would prefer Carl, I can't stand him and his stupid looking father's hat that he wears. LOL

I can't stand him wearing that hat either. He's not a kid anymore.
I just can't get into that "Fear The Walking Dead" so I won't be watching.
As for last night I hate when they do that crap too. My guess is Abraham or the queer dude. Reason I think it's a guy is because whoever it was, they raised their head back up after the first shot which is NOT an easy thing to do so I think it's a guy. The reason I say Abraham is because he could see him being a threat and he could make a message by killing the biggest strongest dude of the bunch. I don't see any of the women getting it.
Mignon are you going to watch the new Dead series?
I might. I had trouble getting into that one.
Dues, on the other hand Negan might need Abraham. He's a big guy. He could use him as a hench man. He might keep Eugene because he's smart. Rick looked like he did when he went crazy when he was imagining he was seeing Lori. When this is done he's gonna go ape shit on Negan.
I thought it was good. Frustrating at the end YES. My very first thought is it was Carl but since Negan made the eye comment I don't think so. Not sure who. I know who the comics say it is, but I'm not so sure. Negan is such an evil SOB, doing eenie, meeni, mini mo while swinging "Lucille" around.
Btw, Talking Dead said that not even the cast knows which of them got killed. One of them is out of a job. I read that Chandler Rigg (Carl)tweeted,(looselyphrased) "Don't feel bad, even the cast doesn't know who got killed either."
Who's left to save them. Fr.Gabrielle, Enid, Morgan, Carol?? Negan's s group is huge.

TIS
Carol did it before but not now, she was shot twice. Even if she didn't get shot she don't have the same mind frame.
Remember those "Horsemen" who reached out to help Morgan & Carol(I believe they're in the comics)? Perhaps their group (assuming there are more of them), will come to the rescue??? They appear to be good guys.
The Horsemen are in the comics, but under a different name. I suspected that at the barn scene. Smaller then the other groups but more capable then the others IMO.
They're good guys, they're from the Kingdom. They're led by a man named Ezekiel who has a tiger as a companion. Carol is probably going to fill the role Michonne plays with them in the comics.
I hear what you mean. However, Maggie did interview via Talking Dead and said "Not even the cast knows who got killed." I hear Carl tweeted the same thing. Then again, who knows.
On another note, the fact that Negan said they "all work for him now" indicates no one else will get murdered (at this moment anyway)
I say Glenn but now many thinking it could be Carl.
I don't think it is Carl because as the screen goes black you hear Negan say that they should pluck out Carl’s eye and force Rick to eat it if anyone tries to stop him.

TIS
Hey TIS, when you really think about it Negan can't kill all of them because he needs people to go out and gather goods and supplies, as well as fend off others that may be out there, in order to survive.
Robert Kirkman made an excellent point when he was on The Talking Dead when he said ( and I paraphrase now ) " Had viewers been introduced to Negan from the pilot episode and grown with him and his group throughout the seasons, the viewers would be viewing Negan and his group as the good guys and the new season 6 character Rick Grimes and his group as the bad guys who went around slashing throats and stabbing people in their sleep."
Great point and I agree.
What it comes down to is that everyone in this post apocalyptic world is doing what they need to do in order to survive. It's the living that now pose the major threats, not the walking dead.
I say Glenn but now many thinking it could be Carl.
I don't think it is Carl because as the screen goes black you hear Negan say that they should pluck out Carl’s eye and force Rick to eat it if anyone tries to stop him.
I don't see why you could not pluck out the eye of a victim who has been whacked topside several times with a slip of wood wrapped in wire.
Daryl has always been my pick. He is wounded and in the worst shape except Maggie then the rest of them. It would take up resources to heal him, and he is more of a threat to Negan then Rick is.
Maybe a cause for concern is: I hear Norman Reedus (Darryl) will be having/in a reality type tv show (on Motorcycles maybe. Not sure). Hoping that he's not leaving because of it, BUT I would be surprised if he is. Plus according to crew NOBODY knows which one is not returning.
Tho I don't read the comics I know who's suppose to get it. I will eliminate Rick and Darryl (they better now mess with either of them, cause they're my favorites.) I doubt Carl. I'm thinking Abraham, Eugene, maybe Michonne cause afterall every time Rick has a love interest, they die. Ha ha
That just looks like a screenshot from Season 6 haha.. I couldn't guess who will be dead as this show always seems to spring a surprise.. Looking forward to the premier though.
Can't watch this show, tried season 1 and it was good story wise, but I just can't stand zombies. Those creatures are so annoying, I can't watch anything with those fuckers in it..

I feel the same way. I know it's been on for years, but it does not interest me either.
I suppose if you don't like zombies, a show about a zombie apocalypse might not be for you. Everyone has different taste.
I find the "Walkers" sort of secondary in the show. Even tho that's what the show is based on, I am more into, and the stories are more focused on the characters and their survival and obstacles.
OMG! Have you guys seen the latest trailer? If you don't want any spoilers, don't open. Although only spoiler we learn by trailer, is one person who didn't get killed by Negan.
I am looking so forward to this. A reminder that next weekend (not sure of start day/time) they'll be airing TWD from season one. Also, this Sunday at 9:00 (CA time) they are having a 2 hour special synopsis of all seasons for anyone interested.
It's that time of the year again TIS, looking forward to the premier but i'm pretty sure we won't find out who was killed straight away, you know how the makers like to tease us.
Apparently we find on in the season premier who got Lucille-ed, there has to be a twist.
I wonder IF we won't know right away. They may show Carol, Tara, Father Gabriel and those who aren't with Negan before they get to that scene. Would they dare??
Btw, I have TW/Spectrum cable and it comes on at 9:00 here. My daughter has AT&T Uverse and it comes on at 6:00. Needless to say, for this episode I'm going to her house to watch.
For those who watch Talking Dead afterward, I hear that's gonna be an hour and a half.

I can't wait til Sunday!!!!
TIS
I have TW as well TIS. So I guess we will be watching it at the same time. 9PM EST
Looks like there was an alternate scene where it was Maggie that got the bat. Glad they didn't use it. Not right it being a woman and the idea of her not being unconscious after the first blow is ridiculous.
was beaten to death it didn't really come has a shock as i thought he had been killed in the last season only for him to survive so this time wasn't as bad.But i felt bad for
Click to reveal..
Abraham
as i was just starting to like him. Goes to show nobody is untouchable.
Wow!!!! What an intense, gruesome episode. I was literally on the edge of my seat, yelling at the tv. The most gruesome episode. Negan is a real psycho showing NO mercy whatsoever. As much of a downer as the episode was I felt inspired to re-watch it and am glad I did. Knowing what was gonna happen took away the tension I guess. I noticed a couple little things I missed and really appreciated with a well written, well acted show it is.
IMO I pretty much like the whole cast but, Rick and Darryl are untouchable. I love them both. Andrew Lincoln is such a good actor. Nobody plays "broken" as well as him. That scene with Negan, Rick, Carl hit me the hardest. I was crying/cringing.
Anyway, look forward to Sunday which I hear will be much lighter. Whew!!!!
Tonight's episode was good, and they can branch out storylines. At this point, I wish they did not kill Andrea early in the show. She would have really shined during these episodes.
Somebody help me out, why did Gabriel dig the grave? He wasn't with Rick and them so why did he do it? Anybody know or did I just miss something?
I'm also wondering if Rick changes his mind about going after Negan once Morgan makes it back (if he does indeed make it back) to tell him about King Ezekiel.
I also wonder how in the world has KE kept Negan from his people? My only guess is they run into one of Negan's guys that were out trying to steal or plunder and promised them the hogs as long as they both kept their mouths shut? That's my only guess.

Dixie
Somewhere mid show Rick says to Father Gabriel "That was a good idea/smart thinking" (roughly) making the grave. I ASSUME it was a ploy to make Negan think Maggie(or any of Rick's gang) was dead. It wasn't real clear.
Oh I think without a doubt Rick will go back to being Rick. My God, you caught Negan's remark whe Rick said "thank you." Ha ha ha The slimiest of slime that guy.
When people were posting how he's the guy you love to hate, I thought no way. You can ONLY hate him. I gotta say I laughed a couple times at him in last night's episode. ie " There's nothing like a holy shit someone's gonna get killed to light a fire under your ass." Still, he's a monster.
Yea, I wondered about KE not getting harassed by Negan too. Remember tho, Rick and his gang killed many Negan's people even as they slept. I cringed at that. That wasn't like them. They never killed anyone but Walkers or a human to defend themselves or the group.
Rick and Darryl are my two favorites
With Rick, I understand his fear. he's got 2 kids (btw, you caught Rick's comment on baby Judith?)to worry about and after almost having to cut his son's arm off. I'd be broken too.
On the other hand I love Darryl too. What a bad ass. LOL He'd rather stay locked up than say "I am Negan." Damn he's got balls. That being said, I'm gonna do a very happy dance when Negan gets killed off (assuming he will)
One of the best episodes IMHO. I just want Darryl to get back with the group before he gets too messed up on "Easy Street." Ha ha ha
Yea I caught his comment to Gabriel but it just threw me off he would know to dig a grave when he wasn't even with Rick and crew when Negan went into baseball mode. I was just making sure I didn't miss a big hint or something so thanks!
Negan was ruthless with that comment at the end. That's another reason I like him as the bad guy, he is just flat out ruthless and doesn't care what they think.
That is a good point about KE, maybe that is why they haven't seen Negan as he might not even show up to places that don't give him any problems which does make sense now.
Daryl proved to be smarter than Rick there though because if he would have said anything about staying or even looked at Rick, Negan would have been feeding him more dog food and a steady playing of Easy Street.....lol
It will be interesting to see how long Negan lasts and how well if at all Rick gets along with KE and their people. They seem to be even more naive than The Hilltop people which we will see next week. I do hate these 90 minute episodes because they are really about an hour long compared to 45 minutes....lol Too many commercials!
In the timeline, it is three days between those two episodes. I assume Rick told his closest members about Negan, plus Carol and Morgan are still unaccounted for by the group. Father Gabriel most likely was covering all the bases of what might to expect when the Saviors showed up.
Negen is such a badass and it's going to take something big to defeat him. I think Negen will be around until at least the end of season 8.
I can't see Rick gaining the advantage until next season, this season i think will be about surviving and regrouping and making alliances with the people on the horses.
I read somewhere that in an interview, Jeffrey Dean Morgan indicated her WOULD be on thru season 7.
I'm looking for Carol and Morgan to return. They have NO clue what happened. I hope Ezekial group plays into it and can help with Negan. I suspect some members of Negans group (Cheri?) would be willing to help Rick's team. Btw, it seems that the group could find some place to hide weapons (outside?) where they can turn for an emergency.
Back to Negan tho. He takes all their mattresses and then burns them. God, I hate the guy.
AND, he takes all their guns and says "HALF is what I say it is."
jeffrey dean morgan is outstanding even when he is playing the bad guy negan. walking dead has been renewed for a season 8. negan might have left some of the guns if carl hadn't been so bold. i think negan likes the kid and is going to take an interest in him. carl with the eye patch reminds me of the governor. compared to negan the governor looks lie a boy scout. negan basically emasculated rick to the point the others think he is weak.
Yes Negan is a brutal monster but I cannot hate the man. He makes me laugh. His one liners are as good as Abraham's. Quote of the night "I shoved my dick down your throat and you thanked me for it."
Daryl is biding his time with Negan. I can't see him broken. He has a plan.
Maybe Rick will bounce back at the mid season finale.

My daughter yesterday said. "Easy peasy lemon squeazy" on doing something and I nearly spit out my coffee. I had to explain it to her that I had just heard it on the show but quickly ended it because she got bored and she said, "How can you watch that show?"
P/S I can't stand Carl, with that Yankee Doodle dandy gauze wrapped around his head and that cowboy hat from his dad. I was hoping he would have been introduced to Lucille but I guess we are going to have to wait!

On various TWD articles, under comments, I notice a lot of people hate Carl. I don't hate him at all. I actually like him. He could lose the hat and maybe trim his hair a bit tho. LOL When Rick had the ax to his arm and poor Carl said, "Dad, do it", broke my heart.
I find Father Gabriel quite annoying and useless as well as Enid. I wouldn't care if either of them got killed off.

In the season opener Negan took that hat off of Corral.(lol)I told my Son I like this guy. I will be surprised if they kill him off. Wish they would though. TIS, you are right about Enid that is a useless character. Father Gabe is semi useless.
Last week's episode was really good too. At least Carl has a little help with Jesus on his side.
I'm still waiting to see Carol's reaction since she has no idea that what happened with Negan. I'm hoping she'll go back to the bad ass Carol and help in some way.
Oh, and poor Darryl. I hope it's either/or both Rick and Darryl that kill Negan.
I don't think they will get Negan before the mid season finale. 2 more episodes. Why is boring episodes over an hour long?
Agreed. A whole episode on Tara? It's obvious the networks are all about cashing out now. They want to draw it out 2 more years. Do the right thing. We don't want to see Tara or her problems more than 10 minutes per episode. Do a Negan backstory. Then do Negan's relationship with Rick and Rick's relationship with Alexandria and the common hate that Hilltop, the Kingdom, Alexandria, and DykeVille share for the saviors. After that let the war begin. They won't do that though. They will draw it out. Not for the fans, but for every dollar they can squeeze out of what was once a great show.
Tho, Sunday's episode wasn't horrible, I agree that we don't need an entire episode on Tara. I thought the episode with only Morgan was worse. That was so unnecessary. And, they had 2 with the governor which was 1 too many. I don't know why they do that.
I wanted to see what happened to Carl/Jesus. I wanna see Darryl get free. I wanna see Carol back in the group. I read comments on Yahoo or whatever sites run the stories and some ppl are so pissed they say they don't wanna watch anymore. I don't feel that way at all BUT they Do have some unnecessary episodes IMO.
They have done this the past few years where they have 1-3 episodes of nothing but crap. None of the main actors in it at all. That lets you know they are getting near the end IMHO. Can't string this crap along much longer. It was interesting in finding the women group, but other than that boring boring episode on a character most didn't think would last this long.
Yeah I think they should only do a season 8 and that it . Sopranos and breaking bad only had 6 or 7 seasons a TV series should only last that long 8 or more is pushing it to long
The books are still being written, and the show is following the plots written (for the most part, although there have been some changes). I dont see why they would stop before they reach the end unless at some point the show stops turning a profit.

How much longer you think it's going to last? Just because the comic is still going doesn't mean the show will keep going. The longer the show, the more it costs them to run and harder to turn a profit.
I don't think they will get Negan before the mid season finale. 2 more episodes. Why is boring episodes over an hour long?
Agreed. A whole episode on Tara? It's obvious the networks are all about cashing out now. They want to draw it out 2 more years. Do the right thing. We don't want to see Tara or her problems more than 10 minutes per episode. Do a Negan backstory. Then do Negan's relationship with Rick and Rick's relationship with Alexandria and the common hate that Hilltop, the Kingdom, Alexandria, and DykeVille share for the saviors. After that let the war begin. They won't do that though. They will draw it out. Not for the fans, but for every dollar they can squeeze out of what was once a great show.
I wouldn't mind seeing a back story on Negan. How he came to be in power...

I have no idea how much longer it will go.
The only thing i know for sure is that if the series ends before kirkman finishes the books the tv show cant use his ending.
As of now in the books Negan is still alive and so are Rick, Carl, Maggie and Michonne from the main group that exist on screen and the page. Carole on the show seems to be headed towards getting Michonne's book role related to the Kingdom. (Shes been dead in the books for ages.)
I thought i was watching a episode of Lost for a while. I agree we didn't need to see a whole episode dedicated to Tara, they could have skipped between another group and Tara,
we seem to be seeing less and less of the main characters now as we have six 6 divisions of main characters:
1) Rick's group at Alexandria 2) Maggie and Sasha at Hilltop 3) Carol and Morgan at the Kingdom 4) Heath and Tara 5) Daryl at the Savior Compound 6) Jesus and Carl in the truck
we seem to be seeing less and less of the main characters now as we have six 6 divisions of main characters:
That's because they don't have to pay them for that episode. No name characters mean cheap episode.
Generally, series regulars (main cast) are paid for all episodes, even ones that they don't appear in. It's pretty much the industry standard in contracts.
'Guest Stars', or recurring cast are only paid for episodes they film.
I really can't take him Mig. The hair, the hat, his whole character. By the way, is it me? Or is Negan trying to hit on him its kind of creepy. Why hasn't he been knocked off yet?
I agree with you Bean. That hat has been getting on my nerves for a few seasons now. I just want to yank it off of his head. I keep hoping someone will kill him. I got the feeling he is hating Negan less now.
I liked Sunday's episode. Guess I'm in the minority. I like Carl. I think his character has grown. His gut reaction to go shoot Negan seemed typical of a kid that age. Move without thinking. Chandler Riggs (Carl) was on Talking Dead right after and said the "Carl was on a suicide mission" to get Negan. Granted, he needs a haircut and can lose the hat though.
OMG and that Negan is one mean SOB isn't he? He just loves taunting/rubbing it in. Like with "D" after taking his wife. OMG and to Carl, when he says how awful he looks and that "I can see why you cover it up." Not to mention after Carl shoots two of his men, Negan goes to the truck and says "How adorable." Ha ha ha! Sicko!!!
LOL Never thought by first episode this season I'd find that SOB funny, but in a sick way he is.
Oh, and the ending with him on the porch holding baby Judith.
Who do you think slipped note/key under door to Darryl? Either Ds wife (forgot her name) OR Jesus?
This last episode shows why I love Negan's character. Yes he is cold and dirty but he can be funny too. The bit with him and Carl roaming the house and him enjoying all that stuff was funny. Then his comments on the porch while he was holding Judith was just too damn funny!
You guys, keep in mind the scene with Ezekiel revealing to Morgan that they've been feeding some of their cattle (That they give to Negan's group) walkers. SO, I wonder if at some point Negan's group gets sick, contaminated, turn to Walkers, etc. There must be a purpose for that scene. Food for thought?

TIS, I don't remember seeing any cattle. You mean the pigs right? Just making sure I didn't miss something
May have been pigs, Dixie. They were hanging and Negan's guy said something like "they look meaty/healthy" something to that affect. I don't know my "cattle" I guess. Ha ha ha! Anyway I think that could come out at a later date as to how it will affect the Saviors.
Everyone is already infected with the virus anyway, (revealed at the CDC in season 1).
I see it as more of a 'fuck you' to the Saviors than a future plot point. And its smarter for the kingdom to feed them walkers and not use their own food supply to fatten up the pigs.

That's right. Everyone IS infected. I just have a hunch that eating that food will do something. If not, the fuck you is good too. Ha ha,
Negan is such a great addition to the story line. He's insane.And again I have to ask, why is Carl still here?!?!?! Next episodes looks good. That weasel's fate who was trying to take out Rick was a good scene.
Loved this episode!!! Glad to hear the group will join forces with The Hill group, and Ezekials Kingdom to get Negan. Man that guy really is an asshole, SOB but yea, makes things interesting for sure. Some of his lines are hysterical even tho he's scary as hell. I mean any guy who names his barb wired covered bat is pretty psycho. ha ha
Don't know how the comics go, but maybe you Carl haters will still get to see him killed. Me,I like the kid. You never know with TWD. IMO, they can get rid of Gabriel who is useless and Morgan is even worse. And what's with Carol. She needs to get her fight back. Oh, and Daryl escaped. YEA!!
Btw, loved the ending with the group together. Such a sweet "bro hug" with Rick and Daryl. Really good episode!!

And miss bitch Rosita getting Olivia killed and Eugene taken and what's up with the guy with the boots who is stalking them?
I can't see Eugene surviving with Negan. Then again, it may make him stronger. Yea, Rosita was crazy (just as Carl) thinking she could get Negan on her own. Btw, with only her ONE bullet?
I look so forward to next season with the group back together. Btw, Negan has GOT to assume Daryl went back "home" to Rick's gang. I wonder if that'll mean harsher punishment. Then again, can it get much harsher than getting your brains bashed in by a barb-wired bat named "Lucille?"
Oh yea, the guy/girl in the boots is a mystery. Maybe whoever gave Daryl the key?
I think the guy in the boots is the guy that Rick and whats his name stole all his weapons out of the house boat. Remember the signs while they were on their way in?
As for Eugene he just made himself un-expendable now. He's a gold mine now and Negan knows it. With ammo starting to get short, no way would Negan let anyone hurt Eugene now. That's why he told Eugene to shut up when he was explaining how he made the bullet for Rosita. Only way he dies is if he kills himself for feeling responsible for Olivia dying.
As for Daryl good for him, glad he made his move to get out. Hope he cuts his hair too....lmao. But I think it was Jesus that left him the note. That's why he was waiting on him when Daryl pipe bombed ol Fat Boy.
Good episode, it's all setting up for a good second half season, but i can't see the war happening until at least Season 8, they love to drag things on..
Great to see Daryl back with the group but Negan won't be happy.
Good call on guy with the boots. AND did somebody mention that FU note that Aaron got beaten up over. It said what? "you'll be sorry. Joke's on you." Perhaps food was tainted? I don't know but the fact the Negan told Rick he was taking EVERYTHING means it's now at Negan's house. Hmmmm.
As far as Daryl, I wonder if, like Maggie, he'll keep hidden. They think Maggie is dead. Perhaps Ricks team will just continue to insist Daryl's NOT there. Don't know if it'll work. Plus don't forget Negan now has poor Eugene. Maybe he won't be quite as pissed, cause Eugene is an asset.
I agree with DeNiro, that no showdown with Negan will happen any time soon. The group needs to get their plan/act together. It'll probably be season 7 cliffhanger.
A good return episode, i especially liked the highway scene when they where trying to get the ammo. A good ending but who where did this big group come from. They'll join Rick group for sure..

Yea, not a bad episode. I too liked the highway scene. Very clever. In regards to the large group, by Rick's smile I too think they'll join the team.
Anyone watch Sunday's mid season premiere? What a strange group Rick and the gang ran across. And what was the weird Walker when Rick got thrown into the dump/garbage. Ha ha.
Glad to see Father Gabriel growing a pair BUT I'm getting very annoyed at Morgan. I know his intentions are good BUT for God's sake, we're in a Zombie apocalypse. You may need a little more than a stick.
Gabriel wasn't a wuss in the comic and neither was Morgan. I do see Morgan going back to badass in the show though.
What's weird, is the new group just showed up in the comic but the comic was WAY ahead of the show at that point. I guess the show is either not going to show one group that's in there because of the way they act or we'll see them down the road.
Good episode but i thought Rick and Michone where rather careless at the fairground,have they not learnt by now that anything could happen at anytime as it nearly did when Rick came under attack after falling from the Big Wheel..
Not sure where they will find more guns from. And Rosita is starting to get annoying..
As much i want Ricks group to beat Degans group, i hope Degans is in the show for the foreseeable future, great character. I would like to see a back story like we did with The Governor.
I don't know how many of you have seen the tv show Supernatural. I watched the first 2/3 seasons (it's been on like 11 yrs). Anyway Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the father of the two Winchester boys in the show when it first aired. One episode yrs ago had a picture of him in the house holding a baseball bat. (who knew). Anyway, I didn't see this episode but right at the beginning Dean comes in with a "Lucille" bat saying "dad use to love this thing." Obviously a tribute/reference to Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Anyway, pretty cool.
Well, I hear Sasha will be in a Star Trek series, so I'm wondering IF she will be killed.
I'm getting tired of Morgan myself. He finally gets angry but murders unjustifiably if you ask me. Him and his stick are annoying. LOL
On another note, was it Sasha or Tara that tired to set Eugene free and he refused to go. Why? He seemed to be managing whatever explosives Negan put him in charge of to contain the Walkers.
When Sasha/Tara saw him from a distance he almost seemed like he was enjoying what he was doing. My first thought was "oh no, don't tell me he actually likes it there." BUT, I am wondering if he's rigging up some kind of explosive or what not to blow up the place and/or escape?? Negan did seem to let him be in charge of it.
He IS a brain and would be good with that kind of thing. Maybe he'll be the one to help Rick and the gang. What do you think?
It was Sasha and Rosita that tried to break Eugene and he froze in fear. I don't see Eugene leaving until Negan is dead and even then I think the power might have went to his head.
I still wonder how they bring into the mix whoever he was talking to via c.b. before Negan made him leave Alexandria.
First 20 mins (of 90) kind of slow but after that WOW Not surprised Sasha died but what a way to make an entrance. LOL And, those damn weird junkyard ppl....traitors.
Most intense to me was Negan going for Carl. AND, who the hell would have thought that King Ezekial's tiger, Shiva, would have saved the day. WOW! Edge of your seat.
Btw Chandler Riggs said that Shiva's attack was actually a person jumping from a trampoline. WOW!! Who knew!!
This season, tho containing some slow episodes, had a great (tho very dark/morbid) opener and a very exciting finale IMO
So nice them bringing Abraham back for those scenes. Well I'm glad Oceanside refused to fight, they would've been goners. I was a little disappointed in Carol. She wasn't as badass as she has been. Negan was so shocked when Shasha came out of the casket. Epic moment there. Same when Sheeva came out.
Eugene has a heavy does of Stockholm syndrome. That tiger scene came out of nowhere. Shame Carl didn't buy the farm. Can't stand him. Sasha "coming out" was great!
Yes it was a dude dressed in a blue man suit that did the tiger scenes. That's why she looks better than the horrible attempt on the doe he seen near the carnie park.
New comic drops tomorrow that should have more about a cliffhanger they left us with last month. Will be interesting.
And as I figured, just read the new comic and it still left us with a cliffhanger that we got back on 3/1. Won't know what happens until 5/3. The cover looks just like Michonne/Andrea when Andrea was bitten. For those that don't know, Rick and Andrea have been together since the girl from Alexandria died.
Yea I agree Eugene is trying to survive but I'm guessing (and hoping) when it comes down to it, he'd choose to save Rick and the gang and risk his own life. Then again, he sure is a chicken shit.
On a personal note, my granddaughter had been dying to watch TWD. She was allowed to last year when she turned 14. She caught up on all the episodes since and loves the series.
What was kind of uncomfortable (for her parents especially) was the very FIRST episode she ever saw was the most brutal with Negan killing Glenn and Abraham. She loves the show and loves Carl (teenage crush). Anyway, it's her 15th birthday in July and I bought her a Carl t-shirt. I know she'll love it.

First time I hear of someone liking Carl (though he's not as annoying as he used to be). Makes sense that it's someone from his age group.
The WD sure know how to make great opening episodes of a season, but how did Deegan not get killed.
If that was me Rick should have assigned someone to kill Deegan while they had the stand off. He had plenty of time and opportunity to be killed.
Hi DeNiro
I was wondering the same thing. They talked about it a little on Talking Dead (the entire cast and then some were there) but still left me a little uncertain. Remember Rick said "Only one person needs to die (Negan)." Yet, you're right. They had several clear shots.
I expected at least one main character to go (as long as it isn't Rick or Darryl, I'm ok, tho I like the whole cast for the most part.)
The ending with Negan and Father Gabriel is interesting. I can't imagine Gabriel getting out alive, unless of course Negan can USE him for something.
I can only see two options for Gabriel, he will be killed or he will be turned but the latter i can't see happening. But i guess next time he'll know not to get out of his car to help a rival.
First of all way to many commercials and not enough show. I want Gregory to die. Father Gabe was a douche but he's turned himself around and is part of the group now. I hope he stays alive and escapes. I'm wondering if Morales family is still alive?
This season has been gun battles followed by more gun battles, with Negan's people going down too easily to believe. Does anyone else feel the Morales storyline is a stretch? He met Rick and the group in Georgia, split up, then both show up in the same section of Virginia.

I don't remember Morales leaving the group on bad terms with Rick. He seemed to hate him. I guess he IS Negan now.
Anyone curious about that plane flying overhead???
90 minute mid season finale tomorrow. Any speculation who if any will die?
Hey Mig. There's always the speculation and as usual. I'm hearing this mid season finale a major character will die. I read an article just today, predicting it would be Carl. I hope not. There reasoning was partially that he was starting college and will be written out. YET, I understand he does NOT die in the comics. Btw, you can't always go by the comics.
Also, have you heard that Morgan will crossover and now be a cast member of Fear TWD? I say good riddance. He was getting annoying with his stupid stick and his 'every life is precious". Right, in a Zombie apocalypse. Tho last couple episodes he seemed to be coming around. I really liked the character at first though.
I don't know who to predict, perhaps Michonne or Carol? I don't look for Dwight to be around much longer and with Eugene seemingly "100% Negan", not sure if he won't get killed off.
My own personal opinion, do NOT mess with/kill off Rick or Darryl. I love both the characters.
Hi TIS, I think it's to early for Negan to leave. I won't lose any sleep if Enid dies. I think her character is worthless. I like Carl but he gets on my nerves. I don't think it will be Rick/Daryl. Can you imagine the uproar if it was one of those? I wonder how they will spin Morgan crossing over to Fear? Will he play a different character? I've only seen 2 episodes of season 1 of that show. I really don't know who will get killed off.

Oh yea Enid is useless IMO except possible love interest for Carl since teenage girls are scarce during a zombie apocalypse it seems. You know another character I don’t like is Jade, the junkyard lady. I sure don’t trust her.
I think IF Negan dies this season it’ll be at the end. I hope Rick is the one to do it (as he plans to). Do you think Negan thinks Eugene is the traitor? Eugene could be the one to go tho he’s smart and useful to Negan.

If I was Negan I would worry about everybody trying to betray me.
AMC is running TWD all day with episodes leading to tonight's season finale. Just happened to tune in to the episode with Sasha in the coffin and Zimba disrupting everything. Seeing it again reminds me what a great show this is. Not all episodes are equal BUT they've had many great episodes IMO.
hopefully carl will not bite the dust but somehow survive the bite. they have to find a way to end the apocalypse. why not carl. when did he get bit. i have watched all of the episodes and it was not last night.
they can't pull the wool over negan's eyes for long. negan tends to turn on the drop of a dime. he is your friend until he bashes your head in with Lucille.
He DID get bitten when he was in the woods and found the guy Rick had shot at (a warning shot) Walkers attacked him then.I believe it was last week's episode.
As far as surviving, I really wish he could, but since the bite is on the stomach and not on a limb that can be amputated, I don't see how. If he did surive, IMO it'd be something like Glen under the trash dumpster (jumping the shark a bit). Then too, poor Carl is already missing an eye, can't have him miss a limb too.
When episode started with Carl writing note to his dad, I thought he was contemplating suicide and thought "no that's doesn't sound like Carl. When he confronted Negan telling him to shoot him, Carl knew he had nothing to lose and wanted to end the turmoil. We, the audience, didn't know until the very last scene as Rick entered the sewer. That long walk toward his son, with everyone kind of looking away, we just KNEW something happened. I love these episodes, even if sad, it's those kinds of surprises/plots that really get you.
No, I don't think Carl will be back. According to Scott Gimple, he is dead. He will appear in next episode, in which I assume he'll die.
According to this attached article, Chandler Riggs had no idea he was being written off til June when he was told about it. (Btw, his father was not happy about it).
I don't read the comics BUT I hear that TWD comic fans were really shocked and didn't see this coming at all. Apparently, Carl lives on in the comics.
I am sad to see him go because I liked him and he has been a part of the cast from day one. We've watched him grow. Enid will be shocked. I'd rather have seen her go to tell the truth.
I know TWD episodes are NOT all perfect and/or action packed, BUT I love the story of the survival AND surprises like this that nobody sees coming. Still, my favorite show!!!!
TIS, Thanks for posting the vid about Carl getting bit. I couldn't remember when it happened. But watching it you can see the walker's head right by his side where he got bit. They did a good job of hiding it. Carl didn't scream or let on he was bit. You can tell by his reaction that something wasn't right though.
Who do you think will take him out? I think it will be Michonne.

Good question. I just think Rick will be to broken to do it. I guess Michonne would be likely. I have to watch it again, especially to re-watch that last scene as Rick walks threw the sewer, everyone was quiet, somber and my daughter says nobody looked at Rick. I'll have to see it again.
There are alot of debates going on The Walking Dead FB group pages whether or not they will pull another "Glen" on us when they come back on in February. And some of them are pretty heated. I'm thinking really? It's a tv show. If you want to debate fine but don't let it get to that point.

They had one of the writers/producers on Talking Dead. He said Carl was definitely bitten and will eventually die, likely in the opening of mid-season premier. I know he wasn't popular with some people, BUT I liked the character. Not too many young kids/teenagers/young adults in series.
Btw, it's like The Walking Dead here on the BB. I miss the good ol days.
Carl is gone folks, not sure what the people are thinking when they say he might live. Plus with him about to start at Auburn University here in Alabama I figured it was just a matter of time before he dies.
I just saw this story about Carl possibly surviving??? I know most of you don't like him. I do, and would like to see him survive. The thing is, I'm not sure how they'll do it.
The scene we saw at the end of the episode was Carl lying there either scratched or bitten, so im not sure how he can survive.We saw it in season 3 when Hershel was bitten and his lower leg was immediately chopped off and he managed to survive. But with Carl they can't exactly cut his stomach out.
I pretty sure he's going to die in the opening episode of the next season. They will give him a good send off and dedicate the whole episode to him. It won't be such a great loss him dying as i thought it would. I always thought he would have been untouchable earlier on in the series. But he has grown up and hardly featured in the last two seasons.
Not sure how Rick can come back from this.This may be the start of his downfall. Not sure how many seasons this show will end up having but i don't think Rick will survive till the end..
Carl is gone. I used to admire Rick, but he has gotten dumber as the seasons go on, and when him and the group took all the guns from the women on that island, leaving them defenseless, I started rooting for Negan. Also every time Rick and his people find a good place to stay, they wreck it.
Part two of season 8 comes next Sunday. From the episode descriptions, it sounds like most of it will be the same as part one of season 8. I don't see them killing off Negan. I think the big storyline will be King Ezekiel and Carol having a romance. Maybe they will kill one of them off to end season 8.
I will be one of them. I didn't realize what an impact he had on the show until I realize he's actually getting killed off. I know my 15 yr old granddaughter is disappointed. She says she doesn't wanna watch anymore because there's just "old people." LOL I've refrained from re-watching the mid season finale again because of the ending. I'll watch again Sunday before the new episode airs.
Btw, I read a story earlier about an episode (I believe it's the episode where Carl gets bitten, but not sure), in which TWD goofs up and Carl is seen shooting a gun, aiming, looking from his "patched" eye. I didn't even catch it at the time. I'll see if I can find the article/picture and show you
Anyway, looking forward (tho sadly) to FINALLY Sunday's episode.
sad episode. even sadder is it is the 4th year of my mom's passing today. why they got rid of carl is beyond me. his father in real life said they fired him.
Very sad episode. I'm wondering if Carl's words to his dad about (more or less) how you can't kill everybody and for the most part learn to live with what they've already accomplished, will make Rick NOT want to kill Negan. I'm not a violent person, BUT I'd love to see Rick be the one to kick Negan's ass. That guy is horrible.
In the end I think TWD lost a very important character. Carl was there from the beginning, we've seen him go for kid to man and I always imagined HE'D be the one to follow in his dad's footsteps. Now maybe Judith will. I suspected that Carl would be the one to end his life and I'm glad they didn't show the aftermath of the gunshot. . I think Chandler Riggs earned that the entire episode was, for the most part, all about his death. RIP Carl.
Btw, did you see Riggs on Talking Dead? He looks SO different without all the hair.

Sad and Sorry about your Loss. I heard the same, about the father mentioned he was fired.

Btw, did you see Riggs on Talking Dead? He looks SO different without all the hair.
TIS
.
Yes, Yes and YES
Also I think Riggs is a very good guy in real life as well.
Enough already with Rick not being able to get a good round off that does not lodge in his head or him missing him with a hatchet or him getting away again and again, ridiculous.
And now, some people show up with a goofy gift of information for the future, WTF.... and Maggie did not even tell them about Negan and his regime.
Getting a bit out there, oh....and the JunkYard Bitch....please.
jadice showing up was a surprise. i liked how negan's plan backfired and he wound up with the blood all over him. i would say simon is next to go since negan now knows what he did. negan said kill one and simon kills all.

This show never interested me. I am amazed it has been on the air so long.
Billion is coming back some where around the 25 of March.
There even bringing back Ray Donovan back the last episode shows him jumping to his death in New York City. I guess to be with the wife. Now we are supposed to believe he survived that fall.
They are beginning to ruin the series with these episodes where nothing is happening. They have done nothing but fight this whole season and the only person to die was Caroooooooooooowl and he didn't even die by bullet.

I think the blood and guts might make Negan sick. His plan was to infect everyone else with them, but they wound up all over him when his car crashed.

What’s the deal with the Jadis chic sitting in that little room?
If you watched that scene again with Jadis, you will see she had a walkie talkie, and there was a make shift helipad. She was waiting and still waiting. Two episodes left and I think I will call it quits on it. How far can Rick go before he is able at redemption? Negan looks more as a good guy than Rick. Maybe a contract is going to expire, and they decide to switch characters. Also three characters are already gone, (Heath is just MIA), and another two have not been shown yet, (not including that big group) so they might just skip the other war and bring it up to the current state from the comics. There are a few hints throughout this last half of the season that they might head in that direction. Interesting that Tara took Ricks spot in the episode before last. As for the passenger? I say Laura. Yes you see Gregory at sanctuary with Simon and Dwight, but that would just be lousy writing, as in a scene in the next episode Negan says something to Dwight.

I hope so, I hate that guy worse than Negan
Simon is a Negan wanna be. I think that Negan will have to take him out. I haven't made my mind up about Dwight yet. I really like Negan. As much as I love the show It's more of a soap opera now. And why so many commercials? And another thing why isn't Gimple doing anything with Maggie's pregnancy? I have no clue who Negan picked up. 2 more episodes.

yes, I think Simon is Toast next episode.
I hope they reveal who Negan picked up, if they string us along I will not dig that.
End of the season final. Looks like they setup plotlines to move into season 9. Fear the Walking Dead opening season was a good episode, Althea is an interesting character. The beginning after the campfire, there are a couple of subtle plots for TWD in season 9, one of which involves Carol, when she talks about one of the communities.
Now I know why this show has been running so long.
I never like this kind of show I saw the night of the living dead never like that either.
Then I noticed they got the guy that who played Gus Fran from that other show. Then I saw they got Jeffrey Dean Morgan another very good actor from the good wife and the guy who ran a casino in Florida forget the name of the show.

Now I get it.
Foots, I never cared for zombie shows/movies myself and thought TWD would suck until I got into it. It's really more of a drama than a "zombie show" and well worth the watch. The earlier seasons were much better. These later seasons have kind of sucked until Jeffrey Dean Morgan came in as Negan. He has pumped some life back into the show and has been without a doubt the best "bad guy" the show has ever had. He might be one of the best bad guys to ever play in a show period I think.
Also for those wondering how this is playing with the comic, it is playing out somewhat the same. Negan was defeated as well in the comic but I forget who was the leader of the Saviors after the battle. It wasn't a major character I remember that but it goes the same way with Negan going to jail. I won't go any further as it could spoil what else is coming for the new season. Carl is still alive in the comic so that was a different direction.
At least last night's finale was pretty good for a change. The past few years most of the episodes have just dragged along minus a few season premieres and finales.

the casino show was magic city with jeffrey which lasted 2 seasons and had james caan from the godfather in it the second season. jeffrey dean morgan was also on supernatural as john winchester, dean and sammy's dad. i am wondering if we will see any of these characters next season such as the king, jadice, and negan. the biggest twist of the episode is that eugene was the hero. he sabotaged all of the guns. father gabriel got his site back. gabriel has grown on me. the poor guy went through hell.
Not sure it's a good move Rick keeping Negen alive. But from the show point of view Negen is a great character to have around. i can't see him turning good all of a sudden.
I Was not a fan or viewer for many years and then binged watched several seasons ove a few weekends 5 years ago.
It’s amazing to think its been on now for over 8 years.
Once I started watching, I loved it and could not wait to catch up.
The early years are much better than what we are seeing now but its very entertaining.
You should read the comics too! I don't even read comics and have enjoyed them. Can read them all free online. There is some difference but not a whole lot.
Good episode. I had given up on him but Eugene redeemed himself with his masterful bullet tampering. I did not see that coming. 😳 I sure understand Maggie wanting to kill Negan and at first thought Rick had killed him. I’m not really sure how long he will be alive though considering the very last scene we saw with Maggie, Jesus, and Darrell. That was another surprising ending.
FWIW I read that in the comics Negan is alive at this point also but article I read said that Andrea is with Rick and not Mochonne. Also Carl is still alive (big mistake killing off IMO.)
I’ll say this, I am tired of Morgan. I liked him in the beginning but now he’s m tired of his whining and his stupid stick. :rolleyes Unfortunately they moved him to Fear TWD and the entire season opening was ALL Morgan. I just went to bed and watched it later the next day
Morgan was a good character until about season 6. I think he's a better character on his own not in a group..I'll miss him for sure in TWD as i don't watched FTWD. I just wonder now if we have seen the last of him in TWD..
FWIW I read that in the comics Negan is alive at this point also but article I read said that Andrea is with Rick and not Mochonne. Also Carl is still alive (big mistake killing off IMO.)
Yes Rick even married Andrea until she just died not too many issues ago. Carl lives at the Hilltop and helps run things there with Maggie. There is no "ill will" towards Rick from Maggie in the comic and she doesn't make a play at Rick. Michonne just found out one of her daughters was still alive and found her. Negan is indeed still alive, but now he roams on his own as Rick decided to let him out for good.
Not sure if anyone watching Fear The Walking Dead but I find it crazy confusing. They jump around like a mad crazy dream....... before/ after / after before its ridiculous.
WD is good but how many seasons is there going to be ? that why he leaving lol they must have to end WD soon . Season 9 or 10 otherwise it will get boring or just same thing happens all time like repeat of stories
I think leaving in season 9 is the right move for RIck/Andrew. I think his character has run it's course. Also I can't see the show running past season 10..
Andrew Lincoln 'is LEAVING The Walking Dead after six episodes of season nine'
And Daryl to become lead character..
I see Andrew Lincoln leaving as a positive, Rick was an awful leader, and their was nowhere left to go with his character. I'm. surprised Dixon will get. so much money.
I am sooooo sad to hear this. Rick is the heart and soul of the show. TWD remains my favorite show but I have been guessing it’ll soon have run its course and may end. Without Rick, it won’t be the same. 😢 Lincoln says he wants to spend more time with his family and I can understand that but still. 😢. I love Darryl too. Maybe he can take the lead, tho his character is more of a rebel no??? I read that Rick will only be in the first 6 episodes. Does anyone else think it’s strange that we are told ahead of time that Rick will be leaving? Usually that’s the shocker of the season when the main character gets killed off. It makes me wonder if Rick’s exit may not be getting killed. Could he just take Judith and take off? Plus I really hope he kills Negan before he leaves. However we know Negan is itching to kill Rick. Maybe Rick will get LucilleD.
Btw dont look for Maggie to stay. She’s booked for another show and I hear she’ll be seen much less this season. Don’t you think it’s about time she start showing her pregnancy? 😂
While I’m at it let me also say I’m almost giving up on Fear. None of the characters on that show are really likable. I can’t put my finger on it but I can’t get into it. I did think Nick was the most likable and most caring but they killed him off too. And maybe I am alone but I’m really tired of Morgan he just gets annoying to me. And,Fear is getting to do the same thing that The Walking Dead did that many fans didn’t like by devoting one or two entire episodes to one minor character.
Ok that’s my rant for today. I still am bummed that Andrew Lincoln is leaving.
George Romero called The Walking Dead a soap opera. I watched the final of Fear the Walking Dead. He was right. It was mopey and depressing, overly dramatic, and awful.
It looks really good. I always hoped Rick would be the one to kill Negan but not sure it that will happen. I have to admit, I love the show and have watched every season, with of course, some seasons/episodes being better than others BUT with Andrew Lincoln leaving I'm not sure if the show can go on. I also hear Maggie has a role in another show and will only be in a 5/6 episodes this season. Don't know if it's true, but I also read Andrew Lincoln will appear only in the first episodes, tho no clue has to how he'll exit. I'm pretty much done with Fear tho. I just lost interest and none of the characters are that appealing to me for some reason.
Anyway, I look forward to TWD season 9, at least for now. Btw, isn't unusual that the fans get a heads-up on who's leaving? Especially the main character. That probably would have been the series "shocker" to just spring it on us.
Btw, to the comic book TWD fans, does Rick get killed in the comics?
I think it's a stunt to get fans talking and interested in a sagging show. He'll likely take some time off to do another project, then come back when the show needs to be boosted up.
Fear the Walking Dead just had an awful season, I was surprised that even many critics who have given them the benefit of the doubt in the past have called it lackluster, which is a nice way of saying it was boring and overly corny.

Yeah I was never a fan of either but I heard its gotten pretty bad

It's gotten so bad a few critics even gave their own versions of storyline ideas. I think they have run out of any ideas but won't bring in new writers, or close out the show. As to why they won't use new writers is beyond me, but the reason to keep it going is the money. I fast forward through it now, but it still counts ratings wise since I DVR it first.

Never been my type of show. Im more of a crime drama guy
Actor Scott Wilson who played Hershel died yesterday aged 76.
He was in it at the peak of the show and i really liked his character.. Sad news..
I read a brief bio of him, he was in a. big movie with Robert Blake in the beginning of his career, but never. became as big of an actor as critics predicted for him. He did have a long career and worked steadily, a shame he died after revival of sorts through the Walking Dead.
They have ported it as Rick's last season and strongly hinted he gets killed, I wonder if they will leave it open to interpetation as to whether or not he is dead when the season ends. They may want to bring him back in the future if ratings are down
It's weird that they announced beforehand that Rick will be leaving. It would have been better for shock factor to not announced it. They can't kill him off surely..

That would've been a better idea. I keep thinking Rick will pull a Morgan and walk away. But then again why would he purposely leave Judith and Michonne? So what do you think of what Maggie did to Gregory?
Maggie seems to be taking a turn to the dark side no? Hanging Gregory was a bit extreme. Poor Aaron. Such a nice guy and then to have his arm chopped off by newly Dr. Enid. Ouch!! AND Carol and Ezekiel? Who would have thought, as well as Gabriel and Jadice.
I don't know how Rick will go, tho I'm guessing his character will die. I gotta say, I half heartedly am watching this season because I am so sad to see my favorite character leave the show.
We know Maggie is going to be in another show and yesterday I saw on Yahoo a list of new tv shows and tho I don't remember the show, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was in the picture, so I'm guessing his time is up on TWD. Maybe Negan will be the one to take out Rick. God, I hope not. I wanted Rick to be the one to kill Negan. Although, I gotta say, I can certainly see where Maggie would want to.
As much as I love the show I can't see how much longer it will be on. Not cause of Rick leaving but for it seems all they do is fight other groups now and a few walkers. Starting to lose my attention.
I am so sad that Rick is leaving the show. I agree, he IS the show. I already can feel that I'll be less enthused but will probably finish this season. It looks too like Maggie will be leaving for another show. Who's left of the original cast from Season one?? Ideally, had Carl lived, he'd be an adult and could be the new "Grimes" taking over.
Good show one of the Best for a long time Season 9 part 5 . But i cant see it going past this Season 9 . Bring it to a end Its the Best way Let it go With a Bang .Sopranos And Breaking Bad Are the Best Shows Ever And only Lasted 6 Seasons . Even True Blood lasted only 7 Seasons
I wager they will leave it vague though and he will return sometime in the future.
Well, you were right! But, they teased a lot about the future of TWD universe (and Rick) on Talking Dead afterwards. How Rick exited the show was totally unexpected! But I'm not yet sure how I feel about his/the story continuing in TV movies and such... but I'll still watch them!
i have a feeling the show will go a few more seasons. rick on the helo was cool. i wonder what his adventures will be. i also have a feeling if the show is going to wrap up rick might be part of finding the cure. what was with negan. it looked like he was pulling his hair out.
I'm happy with the way Rick left the show knowing he'll be sure to return in the future, he'll probably make an appearance in the last episode of the whole series. I'm also happy with the time jump it's what the show needed. Not so sure about little Judith though, she seems a bit far fetched.
Also great that Shane and Hershal showed up but not sure Rick would see Sasha..
Here's to the future of TWD.....
Also do you think we willl see a return of Dwight or Morgan?

Tomorrow night we will see a 6 year time jump will be interesting. I'm curious what they will do with Negan now.
I said I was not going to watch it anymore, but someone told me that they signed on Ryan Hurst, and now I am watching it again. Sunday they introduced a new group, which will help the writers if they so choose to take on the role that a couple of characters that are dead or missing to fill in for. With so many characters it comes as no surprise that they are dividing the storylines. Unlike the comic books, Alpha contradicts herself.
Alpha is a wicked freak. I think it's awesome that Ryan is on the show now. How will Beta get out of that elevator shaft? The Highway men I don't know about that group.
I am still watching, tho half-heartedly because it's just not the same without Rick Grimes. The creepy lady, head of the "whisperer Walkers" is one cold hearted bitch. I hear Maggie is or will be in another tv show, so I doubt she's coming back. I will finish this season and see but like I said, it's not the same.
Oh, and what's with Negan? Is he turning "nice?" He escaped and then came back? Michonne seems to be getting a more "cold" attitude as well.
Negan has a big role in the comics during these events. I saw some of it coming with all the foreshadowing done in the last four episodes mainly the reenactment of the Governor episode as I like to call it. Mad about some of it. Cudlitz is directing another episode, but I believe it will be for next season. There is one character that I am hoping will return, but that is doubtful for two reasons, one is a settlement and the other is an iconic weapon.
I like the Highway guys, they are holding up their end of the deal.
I like the big dude with Alpha, he is the creepy guy Chic from Bates Hotel.
I also like Dog.
He was also Opie on Sons of Anarchy.
OMG what a episode. Alpha will be looking at the flowers once Carol gets a hold of that freak. I hope Negan gets out of that cell and kicks major butt. Michonne will need him. One thing about Alpha she does clean up nice. Sunday's episode is the season finale.
Has anybody been watching the first two episodes of season 10. Been crap so far.
I've read that Maggie will be coming back for season 11, Neegen may be running things by then. Going to be interesting to be how they can integrate the two. I can;t see how anybody can forgive him for what he did.

I’m watchin D.....i was not a fan of the Whisperer’s but did enjoy the last two episodes. What I think I am enjoying is waiting for Carol and Negan to whack them all since I THINK THATS WHATS GUNNA HAPPEN and cant wait.
The Walking Dead
I know On-Demand use to have it available and hopefully they will again and/or AMC will run at least the last couple episodes.
He had a weird look as he was shaving his head. 
Very good episode. Not too surprised to see Sophia joined the Undead. I'm sure we'll see tension between the two male lead characters regarding the new baby, and then some. 
Next thing you know, they'll have a quarter season recess or something. 
Great news. Mid season break sucks. 
character emerging. 
I missed more than I thought. I wouldn't have expected that ending at all.
