Can't wait! :noon

[icehog3]

:tu

[bonjing]

Almost Time!

[big_jaygee]

i cant wait!

[GTsetGO]

watching right now.

[big_jaygee]

hmmmm......good first episode....will keep watching

[kelmac07]

Decent first episode. The ending makes you wonder...really??? If so, no one is safe now.

[dgold21]

How did Waldo get the fever, did I miss him getting bit scratched or something?

[big_jaygee]

im guessing part of the new plot :sh

the same thing i guess happened to the pig

[dgold21]

Cool, just making sure...was multitasking during the episode...

[elderboy02]

I thought the episode was very boring.... :(

[363]

I kinda agree with Dan. I was hoping for a slightly more eventful start

[bonjing]

You guys didn't think the raining zombies were cool? :banger

[OLS]

So it started like LOST ended, huh? Like the man said, "I will keep watching", I am hooked on the concept and
the execution, and I can bi+ch about how slow it is and no one thinks I am out of line.

[GTsetGO]

it was a good setup episode.

did you guys watch the talking dead? looks like $hit will get crazy next week.

[GTsetGO]

Episode 2

NICE

[big_jaygee]

yes it was.....i hope the week goes by fast so i can get to episode 3

[elderboy02]

Great episode last night! :tu

[363]

good episode last night, the talking dead was funny too. Having all the extras from Woodberry just to have around to kill off to create more drama

[KidRock]

what did you think of the burned bodies at the end? not suprised but my gut was telling me who ever burned the bodies is also feeding the zombies.

[dgold21]

Hmm, I was kind of leaning towards possibly Carol as the arsonist...she's kinda become more the "protect the group at ALL costs" advocate recently...and the girl as the one who was feeding the walkers on the perimeter...too many things don't add up either way yet though...

[Blak Smyth]

Spoiler:
Nice to have Rick back, he was an important character to the show.
Hoping for the group to have to move due to water contamination, need some new scenary.

The part with the fence was dumb, he didn't need to sacrifice the pigs either as the zombies where following him in the truck already. I don't know if the pigs where contaminated but I would think quarantine would have been a better option, can you imagine how amazing bacon would be in that setting? It would have only taken a couple of minutes to kill all those zombies at the fence line without letting them horde up. Just my thoughts. I did like the ending of the last episode with the burned bodies. Also plenty of good gore this week but some of the zombies head shots looked very CG'd

[GTsetGO]

well now carol.

[KidRock]

well now carol.

I was not suprised she did it. However, I do not think Rick will say anything. I loved this eposide.

Damn, I called it...

[Blak Smyth]

Damn, I called it...

Dead on! :tu

[GTsetGO]

I was not suprised she did it. However, I do not think Rick will say anything. I loved this eposide.

i was just surprised in the fact that it was easy to call. there was no real twist to figuring out who did it and it didn't take 3 episodes to learn it. :D

[massphatness]

How the hell does Tyreese make it out of that walker hoard? C'mon man - a little unbelievable.

Although the dead rising as walkers - totally believable!

[elderboy02]

How the hell does Tyreese make it out of that walker hoard? C'mon man - a little unbelievable.

+1. That was crazy.

I guess Herschel will be dead soon.

[kelmac07]

Tyrelle all of the sudden turns into a badass? Carol is now a murdered? Rick is still a bit of a puss? You Glenn won't die...so a cure is coming. Not sure I'm liking how this season is turning out so far.

[kelmac07]

Tyreese all of the sudden turns into a badass? Carol is now a murderer? Rick is still a bit of a puss? You know Glenn won't die...so a cure is coming. Not sure I'm liking how this season is turning out so far.

Damn early morning fat fingers.

[elderboy02]

I think I am just about done with The Walking Dead. Last night was extremely boring for me. I fell asleep once and had to rewind it. Too much cheesy crap in it.

[jonumberone]

How the hell does Tyreese make it out of that walker hoard? C'mon man - a little unbelievable.

The show is definitely getting a little stale.
They used the same miraculous escape tactic last season with the Governor.

And what's with all the sympathy for the walkers?
Giving them names, having that little girl talking about them being the same people only "changed" ?
Seems like a recycle of the original Herschel storyline; when he was keeping walkers in the barn to maybe save them.

I fully expect an episode where they portray the survivors as the bad guys and the walkers as good.

[kelmac07]

I'm with the group here...getting really stale. And I agree with all the walker empathy all of the sudden...WTF??

Rick kicks Carol out...does that mean that he grew his nuts back?

[Blak Smyth]

Does Carol find the Governor now and join them?

[big_jaygee]

i remember when i would watch it with the commercials (live) and not worry about anything else....on Sunday i was flipping back and forth between the football game and think i missed most of Walking Dead....the way the show was going , i don think i missed anything.

[irratebass]

I'm sick of Tyreese being soft, I understand he's in pain about that girl (her name escapes me...sorry Tom I know that was your gf) but he was one of my favs in the comic coz he was such a badass.

Yes this last ep was boring, I did like Darryl getting up in Bob's grill that was awesome.....Rick kicking Carol out was surprising, does this mean that Darryl will leave to find her?

Hershel and Glenn need to go.....just coz I want some changes that will shock people.

[kelmac07]

This past weeks episode was a little better...but not much. Knowing the Governor is lurking outside the prison should make it interesting. Still waiting for Rick to tell Darryl that he kicked Carol out.

[irratebass]

After this past episode I take back what I said about Hershel, he was the man!

Yawn....the Governor......hopefully Michonne catches him off guard and kills him then we can move forward, but I have a feeling they are going to drag this out again.

Anyone watch Talking Dead? Someone brought up a possibility of Bob being a spy for the Gov......now that would be interesting.

[replicant_argent]

Tyrelle all of the sudden turns into a badass? Carol is now a murdered? Rick is still a bit of a puss? You Glenn won't die...so a cure is coming. Not sure I'm liking how this season is turning out so far.

I'm betting Carol covered for Maggie whacking and burning those two.

[massphatness]

So for one episode at least, the Governor's a good guy?

[Ciro]

I was kind of disappointed last night; I didn't really need to see a softer side of the Governor. I would have rather seen him take out someone from the prison and start more issues.

[kelmac07]

A whole episode on the governor??? Fifty two :td

[longknocker]

I Kinda Liked The Last Episode. Everyone Has A "Soft Side", Even The Governor. I'm Sure He Felt The Little Girl Is A Substitute For His Daughter Turned Zombie.

[massphatness]

I was waiting for him to slaughter the whole family :D

[Ciro]

I was waiting for him to slaughter the whole family :D

:banger:banger:banger

[irratebass]

Well the Gov is back......I could care less.....tired of the storyline.......and Rick and the gang need to move out of the prison.....move it along people

[kelmac07]

Two episodes for the Governor? Really? :td :td

[longknocker]

Apparently The Governor Only Cares For The Little Girl & Her Mom. Can't Wait For The "War At The Prison"! Any Guesses As To Who Dies?:confused:

[Robulous78]

I'm Sure He Felt The Little Girl Is A Substitute For His Daughter Turned Zombie.

Yup, I am sure this will/in fact has continued...

I was waiting for him to slaughter the whole family :D

I am sure there will be some sort of plot twist where he will also be semi or wholly responsible for the death of the family...

Well the Gov is back......I could care less.....tired of the storyline.......and Rick and the gang need to move out of the prison.....move it along people

I agree Mixkeys... they need to stir the pot soon or I'm gonna loose my interest.

Two episodes for the Governor? Really? :td :td

Agreed. I can't say humanizing a demon is all that interesting to me. However watching Rick break is always kinda fun... :lr

[irratebass]

I got $5 on Hershel.

[elderboy02]

I think I am done with The Walking Dead. The episode Sunday was very boring. They are just dragging things out and it is getting stale. Also, after next week they are taking a mid season break again. It is just old at this point.

Also, how many times are they going to keep ending the show by having the Governor standing outside the prison staring at the main group? Lamesauce.

I'm with ya Danny boy, I will give it until the very end of this season, then make my mind up. I was actually debating on coming back this season, but the previews for the season looked great and no signs of the Gov......well I was duped.

I thought this season was really until the Gov came back....now they are just gonna drag that story line on and on I feel.

[MUNKY]

Omg!!

[maninblack]

Holy ****!!!!! That was epic!

[big_jaygee]

Just finished watching it.... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!! this was a great episode and not what i was expecting at all.

RIP Hershel

Yeah *insert foot*

WOW! That was probably one of the best episodes in any season thus far.....WOW!!!!

Too bad they put us through hell to get there.

[bruceolee]

I've read the comic books since day one and all I can say is it gets better so hang on for a crazy ride.


Great episode with only minor complaints but none I can air here without revealing too much of the future story. :D

[Blak Smyth]

Really good episode but why didn't they remove the governor's head for him? WTF...

[OLS]

To make damn sure he is a zombie forever.

Wow, just power-watched 7 and 8 back to back last night, the same way I watched 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6.
I am so glad the governor got his, when I saw he had his own freaking episode, I almost quit watching,
but in the end it was good to watch him go through the whole cycle of family over again, only to see it
al taken away again. POS. Between this and Game of Thrones, I don't know which one is more exasperating
when an episode 8 arrives. Geez, they spend so much time off the air, you'd think they could can more than 8.

You sure the governor is dead? We didn't see the shot...

[massphatness]

He was stabbed through the heart -- he dead. He might be a zombie, but I doubt it. I think that Maggie look-alike chick blew his face off.

[Ciro]

You sure the governor is dead? We didn't see the shot...

In "Talking Dead" they stated that the Governor was dead, so thankfully he's gone.

[Blak Smyth]

He was stabbed through the heart -- he dead. He might be a zombie, but I doubt it. I think that Maggie look-alike chick blew his face off.

Haha my wife said the same thing about that girl.

[MUNKY]

He's dead

[kelmac07]

Great mid season finale. :tu :tu Sad to see Herschel go out that way.

Black Sails as a sorbet tonight.

[kelmac07]

Mid season opening is tonight, in a little over an hour!! :wo :wo :wo

[MrClean]

I just started watching this show before the holidays. Finally got all caught up last week. Pretty excited about the rest of the season.

[kelmac07]

Not what I was expecting for the first episode back from the break. Could have been so much better. Rick, Carl and Michhone were all they covered. I'm betting they drag this whole separation thing out all the way to the season finale.

[OLS]

This show is the king of draggers, so...

[irratebass]

I liked it.

[massphatness]

While I liked the show, I'm not enough of a deep thinker to "get" the whole Micchone zombie groupie thing that went on. On the other hand, her dream sequence was pretty cool.

[MUNKY]

awesome episode!

[big_jaygee]

it was a great episode and i can't wait till next week :tu

Oopps wrong thread...

[equetefue]

Never watched it, until last night because my son is hooked on it and asked me to watch it. I gotta say it looks good. Now to Netflix the past seasons

[massphatness]

Darryl Dixon.

Much man love.

[kelmac07]

A whole episode for Darryl and Beth? At least it wasn't a whole episode of SGT Abraham Ford. :r :r

[Robulous78]

A whole episode for Darryl and Beth? At least it wasn't a whole episode of SGT Abraham Ford. :r

I thought it was a pretty good episode myself, granted it didn't cover much ground other then Darryl struggling to become a reformed bad@ss and Beth struggling to become less of a pansy but hey, writers gotta take breaks also right? :lr

As far as Abraham Ford goes, I am quite surprised they didn't give us any more to go on with that as of yet. I mean here they add 3 new people, give us no real info on them (other then what some know from the comics and what I gathered from the Talking Dead) and then leave us to wonder for at least 1 whole episode....

What about Tyrese? wonder how he is getting along with those 2 young girls and the baby in the woods. Would have been nice to have a brief flash of how that is going for him... :lr

and what of this scientist guy with the Abraham group? so he knows what caused it, doesn't mean he knows how to fix it. definitely too far gone to "fix" many things... much like being Mr. Hindsight at this point...

I am glad Beth's first drink wasn't peach snapps tho... :lr too bad it wasn't Mac's apple pie shine.... :tu

[maninblack]

Last night's episode was pretty boring in my opinion. Not sure what it added to the story line.

[jsnake]

Last nights episode was a huge disappointment and I have to say probably the worst acting in all of the episodes. Just didn't do it for me. Still excited for next week. Hope they step it back up.

[Robulous78]

Last night's episode was pretty boring in my opinion. Not sure what it added to the story line.

Boring-ish I agree maybe, but we finally know what Darryl was up to pre-apocalypse.

We also know hiding in a trunk works. I am just surprised we haven't seen anyone else use Michone's Sherpa technique or the "cover yourself in zomb-guts" strategy to walk among them yet....

I will go so far as to agree Beth's character so far hasn't been one of my favorites. But to see that Darryl feels bad for what happened with the Gov. (which was Rick's fault, if anyones) I found interesting....

[kelmac07]

Was it just me...or did anyone else think Darryl & Beth were gonna get it on? Just sayin'...trailer, first drink, moonshine. :r :r

I was expecting someone to lean in for the kiss.

[GWN]

Found it dull as well. At least not up to par with the rest of this season.
Now True Detective ....

[ky70]

I'm enjoying the second half of this season although I'm ready for these folks to start finding one another. The writers are dedicating full episodes to each group so don't expect a cut in of another group until they cross paths.

Now this method of story telling will wear thin on me soon as I need to some interaction between the groups. Looking at the previews we're in for at least 1 more episode focused on a single group with Maggie and her crew...but hopefully the groups start crossing paths soon.

[irratebass]

True Detective :banger

[maninblack]

Amen. True detective is the best show on TV. And only 1 episode left

[massphatness]

Best episode this season

[kelmac07]

Was a great WTF episode. Knew the situation with the little girls was going to come to a head...just didn't see it being played out that way.

[irratebass]

Agreed Mac......excellent episode and the actress who played "Lizzie" was awesome!

[themoneycollector]

It was good in relation to the season, but at the same time a little meh.

I knew she was going to have to "Of Mice and Men" her.

[kelmac07]

Enjoyed this weeks episode. This whole Terminus has me thinking Woodbury all over again. Why are the gates to Terminus open for anyone to just walk in? And that didn't look like meat that she was grilling. Where was everyone else?

And the group Darryl is with, is this the same group that walked in on Rick (had him jump under the bed) and he ended up killing the guy on the toilet?

Should be an interesting season finale on Sunday. Wonder how they're gonna leave us hanging until October?

[jonumberone]

Just getting caught up.
The Carol and Tyreese episode was the best of the entire series.
I've always felt the show wasn't dark enough when coming from the "group's" perspective.
The tone of this episode is exactly what I've been looking for.

[jsnake]

This episode was much better. This entire Terminus thing is strange. I have a feeling things are about to get really interesting.

[irratebass]

This is interesting as hell, and I'm mad at myself for missing it the 1st time around

http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/03/24/the-walking-dead-were-these-paintings-about-mary-from-terminus/

[OLS]

All I hope is that they start moving with a little more of an eye towards SCOPING OUT the Terminus first and not just walking up.
But you know they have people out on the perimeter. Sounds awful Stephen Frickin King to me, after seeing Woodbury, not sure
I would be too hep on walking up on that jernt. I sound like I am an episode behind, just watched 13 +14 last night. Ended with
Tyreese and Carol. SO I will be staying away from here til Monday. ;)

[jsnake]

http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/03/24/the-walking-dead-were-these-paintings-about-mary-from-terminus/I like stuff like this. I would have never put all that together. Very interesting.

[mosesbotbol]

Terminus had surreal façade to it. Be interesting to see what the real deal is.

[OLS]

I know it is a series, with a script and a need to drive tension and all, but who just walks up on a joint like that
after witnessing the Governor's brand of hospitality? I have yet to see 15&16, so I will wait a bit before I get totally
indignant. But from just reading a little spoiler on Wiki, I am shocked.

[massphatness]

Disappointed in how the season ended

[kelmac07]

Disappointed in how the season ended

Me too!!! What BS. Plus, where is Beth??

[irratebass]

I have to admit I am a little disappointed as well, I expecting some closure, but on the other hand I liked how it set up the next season with one helluva cliffhanger.

[OLS]

I think the ending was as good as one could expect. You knew they were gonna hang you, and I think this hang was very
well done, if for only the fact that all night as I lay in bed trying to sleep, I was thinking "WHO ARE these people and
what could they possibly be doing?" Half the crowd came in easy, the second half came in ready for action, both groups
were treated the same as far as we can tell. As for Beth, it was clear she needed some perspective. Her light was glowing
a little too bright for a post-apocalypse survivor. I think a few months of brutality and gang rape will harden her up some.
Poor old Darryl, every woman he tries to love gets taken from him.

But back to my original line of thought, they tidied up some loose ends, got the band back together and left you with
5 months worth of wondering WTF is going on in the old train yard. I can't see much wrong with that. As for Rick,
I am not sure what he is thinking. "They messed with the wrong people?" Really? That's what you say in a boxcar
covered from three angles by snipers? Not sure how Rick intends to 'show them'.

[mosesbotbol]

They must have some plans for everyone in the train. The snipers did not try to kill them as they ran around Terminus. Terminus does not have a good vibe and I think they'll get out of there some how.

I heard the next season starts in Washington DC, FWIW...

I liked the finale along with the cliffhanger, but just wish this show would pick up the pace and quit with so much dead air.

I woudln't be surprised, they will drag us viewers along for another half season and then skim the surface of the cannibalistic cult that's at the terminus for the mid-season finale, since they tend to have good openers and finales and a whole bunch of filler throughout.

[jsnake]

I liked this one. The entire time I was thinking these idiots can't shoot the side of a barn but I thought it was more like the were herding them like cattle to a certain spot. Be interesting to see just how the hell the will get out of this situation.

[themoneycollector]

On the plus side, the cannibals are feeding them, even if it's just some powdered milk.

[mosesbotbol]

Ahhh, so they are cannibals... That's the deal? Did not occur to me, but makes total sense seeing how quiet it was around Terminus.

So, how do they get out? Is there anyone still not at Terminus yet?

[bonjing]

Carol and Tyrese are still wandering about.

[OLS]

I was thinking when they arrived, BOTH groups, 'home girl is just out there grillin' up a storm'. But they go out of
their way to show barely more than herbs and a few ornamentals growing around the area, which is SO industrial
by it's very nature that there is by definition no real area to grow vegetables. TWICE again, they showed the groups
being offered a plate. I was thinking, "Don't eat that stuff, its either human or walker." But even after being slapped
in the face with it twice (and having never really read the comics enough), I still didn't think any more of cannibalism.
But of COURSE it is cannibalism. Duh. And what's more, it just hit me that RICK was purposely teaching his son the
concept of funneling game into a trap. DUH, DUH, DUH. I am amazed at how thick I can be at times.

As for Carol and Tyreese, i think it is funnier still that the one person that can save Rick's bacon is the one person
MOST likely to say "F that jerk...kick ME out of the group, will ya?". But luckily, she is with Tyreese, who forgave
her in a dramatic scene. So the pressure/dilemma will be interesting when they come back.

[themoneycollector]

Ah yeah, I forgot about Rick teaching Carl how to funnel game into a trap - the dramatic irony.

[OLS]

The reason I was so mad with myself is that on this show, you get VERY LITTLE in the way of character story progression,
so EVERYTHING that is said or done on this show by nearly any character, is important in some way. It is something I often
forget. Game of Thrones is even worse, there are so MANY More characters and storylines that they haven't a SECOND to
waste on something that is not relevant. The reason this sux double is that this show is chock full of mumblers. YOU KNOW
that every line is important, and sometimes I have to replay a sequence many times over before I can figure out what was
said in these throwaway line deliveries that lots of these characters give us. Glenn said something the other night that I still
haven't figured out

[jonumberone]

:banger

:banger:banger:banger:banger is more like it.

Open to close, one of the best episodes, IMO.
I wonder if there will be more of the Terminus story line?
It looks like they are going to give you more of the back story,
It seems like they spent the whole second half of last season getting there, and then were only in Terminus for 1 episode.
Rick still has to kill the guy using the machete, but will that be a big part of the story or just somebody that he crosses paths with later on in the series?

[kelmac07]

Great opening episode. So much in an hour...was really impressed. Hope this is a sign of things to come for this season.

[GTsetGO]

I think there was more action in this one episode than all of last season combined.

[kugie]

Great opening episode.
It was really dark the part in the container that they showed in the end.

The Tyreese scene was great

Is it just me or does the 3 minutes of show followed by 10 minutes of commercials drive anyone else crazy? Great episode. They do the same thing with Hell on Wheels. Too many commercials and not enough content. Never seen any other channel do it like this.

[bonjing]

Great opening episode.
It was really dark the part in the container that they showed in the end.

The Tyreese scene was great

"not gonna do it,,"WHACK""

"not gonna do it,,"WHACK""

"not gonna do it,,"WHACK""

:r That was great scene! I kept thinking, stop poking the bear :sl

And the quick little scene where Eugene ran like a little girl from the zombie kept me rolling I had to rewind that part because I couldn't stop laughing.

[GTsetGO]

So glad Tyrese is back to being a badass and done being a pu$$y.

Now, where the hell is Beth??????

it's going to lead up to finding her. with the upcoming scenes showed, she is going to be with the pastor.

I hate commercials too

Great last couple of episodes!

[mosesbotbol]

Best season yet so far!

Excellent So Far!:tu

[Victor808]

It's been pretty awesome. From the last few episodes of Season 3 it's been non-stop action.

For those who followed the comics, did you notices last weekend's episode pretty much mirrored the comic book, with a couple characters swapped out?

Per Talking Dead, they said this season they are going to follow the comic a little more, not entirely, but very close to it.

That'll be interesting. I stopped with the comic when things got a little weird with a dude with pet tigers... but up to that point it was good.
The thing I think they're gonna run into problems with though is that the comic is very fast paced... while I thought the dragging of season 2 was ridiculous and boring, I think tracking the comic this closely, they're going to burn through all the comic threads too quickly.
I mean, the last two episodes essentially burned through the equivalent of volume 11 of the comics (with some changes for dead people/different characters).

[Victor808]

Fist somewhat disappointing episode of the season.

Felt like a bit of a filler episode.

[kelmac07]

Beth episode was EXTREMELY slow!!!

I gave up reading the comics when the show started, too hard to follow and not get confused with the show.

Don't try to tell us you thought it was a wild ride of an episode. It Draaaagggggeeeeeddddd.

RIFE WITH SPOILERS

I thought the Beth episode was a mistake, I was burning it to a DVD and I could SEE that it seemed like the whole
episode was Beth. I thought, wait, is this show even OUT yet? Maybe this is a hoax. But I watched it and it made
sense, but in a lot of ways, I forgave the pace of it for the REALLY intense microcosm of a world they have yet to see,
but is certainly happening in one weird form or another in a lot of places across the country now locked in the undead
apocalypse. It also REALLY juxtaposed her way of thinking with theirs...She thinks "How can they STAY here?"
It was clear they thought "How could ANYONE go out THERE?" Beth has been living and surviving and had a lot of moments
where she had just accepted the new normal of sleeping with one eye open as the price of what she now knows was freedom.
I mean it has been written into two episodes now, the fact that the group feels they are bad-a55 enough to deal with
any random zombie that should happen by, gone out of their way to SHOW IT a few times.....Beth KNOWS that all you
really have to do is stay clear of herds, keep reasonably quiet and always alert. But the people in that hospital, man,
they are much more freaked out by it all it seems.

And now on top of that, you get Carol wheeled in, and now you KNOW that Beth wants out as soon as she can conspire
with Carol. But man, how to hide the connection to keep it safe? And is Carol now a kind of swing vote or something?
I could see her getting out of the rat race for some quiet, purpose-driven time at the hospital. You do have to consider
that in the previous episode, she was just TIRED. Everything had changed, she was not even sure she wanted to re-connect
with Darryl, or so it seemed to me. I think she still carries a grudge and realizes if she stays with them she is going to
have to come to terms with them judging her for something that she felt was perfectly correct to do. Who knows now.

But what the episode was was just another set piece to drag everything back down to the farm speed. But the angles
of this new wrinkle are about as wide open as can be. Can it be that the team will now be just another conqueror?
I mean in the sense of being "the Governor"s? Come in, assess the crazy level, kill the right 3-4 people and ALL settle
down to be the new face of civilization in the ATL?
Boggles the mind.

[Victor808]

ALSO SPOILERY

The only saving grace to that episode was seeing Carol wheeled in. Speculation is that she's faking it, that she and Darryl some how scouted the place and got info that Beth was in there.... That means only one thing: Carol's now gonna kick some hospital people @ss... I'm guessing that since this is just a side-plot, there's just going to be one more episode to close it out (not the next episode apparently, as they're running concurrent?)... but two episodes from now, or whenever, there is going to be a lot of dead people in the hospital...

[kugie]

What a good episode it is good that it has nothing else to compare it to nothing in the comic and the they all thought Atlanta was abandoned in the first season.
Except for the "Vatos"

This opens the series up to a whole new area :2

Beth's slight smile at the the end when "Chris Rock" made it through the gate was excellent.

And Carol Love that part :banger

Can't wait for more

[OLS]

OH I KNOW what else I had to say about that! I had forgotten and tried to weave one more Carol-related/Beth
deal....that was not it. It was the fact that The shogun asked Darryl at the edge of the woods, "Is Carol With you?"
and Darryl said "Come on out" to some person in the woods. But at the very last second, we find OUT that the
person is NOT Carol. THAT was what stuck in my mind......WHO the hell? I thought back over the seasons trying
to figure out who is just missing, not eaten. I didn't come up with much.

I think when Darryl says "Come on out" I think that is a a flashback or a Quentin Tarantino type skip around, I think somehow Darryl & Carol hear the gunshots from Beth & "Chris Rock" they meet up with "Chris" and they set up a plan to have Carol get into the Hosp to save Beth, then all hell breaks loose.

Someone mentioned to me that the next episode will all be about the other group (Mullet, Glen, Maggie & the Commando guy) I tend to believe that. we shall see this Sunday, but I don't think we are going to get a conclusion to the "Beth situation" just yet......stay tuned true believers.

[Victor808]

Also remember Morgan from the very first episode is kicking around the forest near the church as well. Darryl could have met up with him.

[Victor808]

Ok... caught up on the last two...

Don't know anyone else's take on these, but they were both a bit slow.

(spoilers! don't read if you're behind)

The splinter group episode with Abraham was... ok. I liked the way they really portray him as almost desperately clinging on to the cure (later found out to be a bold faced lie)... and they do a decent job of showing why it's so important to him. I thought they missed a bit on showing what happened to his family... I was able to put it together, but they left it a bit more ambiguous than I'd like (in the comics if I remember correctly it was men from his own group who raped his wife and daughter, who he then had to kill with his bare hands. In this episode it seemed like it was just random guys....)

Last night's episode played out pretty much as expected, no real surprises there. It was a really quiet, subdued episode but I think it worked because it was mainly focusing on two characters who are best when they're quiet. Carol and Daryl are both so workman-like about dispatching zombies, no screaming, no crying... they're like a machine.

1 - good to see that Beth's friend found Carol/Daryl... too bad he was a d$ck about it
2 - now we know how the hospital "recruits" people who they save and keep on to work to pay off their debt... they make their own customers with a swift collision
3 - I'm excited for some terminus-level justice to be exacted on the hospital... next week I guess.

So, I know how things resolve themselves between Abraham and Eugene-the-science guy in the comics... I wonder how they're planning on playing it out in the series. Anyone have any bets? Couple good hits and they're square? A kick in the nuts? Carol style exile for Eugene? Is Rosita going to have to intervene to keep him alive?

[kelmac07]

Another slow episode. Only two more weeks and other than the first episode, this season has been extremely SLOW.

[Victor808]

The 3rd episode where they dispatched Gareth's group was a reasonably paced episode...

[Robulous78]

Another slow episode. Only two more weeks and other than the first episode, this season has been extremely SLOW.

My thought exactly Mac. They blew their wad early with Termius and now we are just coasting to a christmas break...

Well damn, I was WAY off......how about that Ambulance scene tho eh? :tu

:po

[kugie]

(spoiler)
I think this season is excellent.

I thought that It was going to be a setup and Carol was going to be a plant into the hospital to work it from the inside out.
Getting hit by the car is great and she has to go in there. Does she revert back to the weak Carol that her ex-husband used to smack around or does she come out even stronger. What was with the book I thought she was putting that behind her.
This will be a great battle in the mid-season finale.

Can't wait.:tu

I don't think she is going back to her old self, I believe she is just fatigued, this rest in the hosp may be what she needs.

About the book, according to Talking Dead Darryl was taking the book, because of his past with Merle & his father, so not sure where that's going to take us.

[Victor808]

Yeah, that scene confused me at first as well. I thought the book fell out of carol's backpack, but i guess it was supposed to be darryl's pack and it just fell out when she was handing it to him or something. I hope it's just Darryl coping with his past. Hopefully it doesn't turn him into some sort of sensitive sally... can't lose the most efficient zombie-killing machine around.

I also had a secret hope Carol was just bluffing when she got wheeled in, and she was going to get up and start killing people right and left. But I guess I was wrong. We have to wait for Rick to show up for the real violence to begin.

[OLS]

Does she revert back to the weak Carol that her ex-husband used to smack around or does she come out even stronger.

I have not watched 5 & 6 yet, I am waiting until my computer stops being tied up with another project.
Then I'll burn em to a disc and watch em. But I had to comment on this nevertheless. You can
toss away all the thoughts you might have that Carol will EVER go back to being a wallflower. If she takes
a smack of ANY KIND, it will be during the day previous to the night where she cuts the person's throat.
She is never going back to that.

[Victor808]

That was a.... juicy... episode.

A bit of a filler, setting everything up for next week's season break. But still had some fun action in it.

Definitely award winning "best use of a zombie in a fight" moves by Darryl.

[irratebass]

I thought Darryl was a goner, and then bam Mcgyver style lol

Ok, so where is Gabriel going? Remember the group found him outside.......if he is as scared as he seems wouldn't he just stay in the church??? Idk about that dude.....mayeb he'll meet up with Morgan.

[Victor808]

I think gabriel is more running away from the people he thinks are homicidal maniacs (rick's group... and in all fairness if you hadn't seen anyone for all that time and the first people you meet execute some other people right in front of you, you might be a little apprehensive too)..... I suspect he'll come around. Or they'll just kill him off. He was looking for food when they met him the first time.

[irratebass]

Holy Crap!!!!! Poor Maggie.........What is up with Morgan? Is he sane yet?

[bonjing]

Holy Crap!!!!! Poor Maggie.........What is up with Morgan? Is he sane yet?

I think he is. The whole time I thought he knew whom he was following, but until he saw the map I don't think he knew.

Can someone explain to my little mind what exactly did Beth mean when she said "I get it now" to the crazy officer lady.

[Victor808]

I've been trying to figure that out as well.

My best guess is that it somehow ties into her talk with Dawn about how Dawn always gets someone else to do her dirty work or something....

Either beth "gets it" by realizing she can get someone else to do the work of killing Dawn for her... or Beth "gets it" by realizing that Dawn isn't changing at all, that she's still willing to do cruel things to maintain the appearance of power.

[kelmac07]

Didn't see the whole Beth thing coming...wasted all season working up to save and her and then this?? All in all, was a decent episode though.

[mosesbotbol]

The tension around Beth had been growing. Pretty episode. I had missed a week or two, but on Fox Asia, it's on regular Fox, not FX. The are played the episode last night. What night of the week is it in USA? Fox Asia says say day coverage, so that'd mean it airs in Asia first...

[Victor808]

I really wish this midseason had ended stronger. I kind of felt like they really didn't accomplish much after that butt-kicking start.

I mean.... the first 3 episodes were strong finishes to the terminus theme ... between carol's rambo moves in episode 1 to Rick's executioner style in episode 3 there was a lot of action and tension.

But then... we had to fiddle around with beth's situation in episode 4, Eugene's big lie in episode 5, Carol and Darryl's big adventure in episode 6 (ok, that one was really good anyway...) and then episode 7 to bring them to a common point so episode 8 could be executed.

With all the buildup to bring it together, I just was hoping for a bit more. Maybe the problem was they never really fleshed out the hospital group much. There weren't enough identifiable characters, no reason to hope for any particular outcome. I didn't wish dawn dead or alive...

I kinda liked Dawn and thought she could have been swayed to be a better person with Rick's group.

According to Kirkman, some big changes are coming this next season (not sure if he meant the rest of this season or next), but he kind of hinted about Maggie and how she will deal with this, and there is supposedly another foe coming that is supposed to be worse than the governor....he also hinted that they will be out of the Atlanta region soon.

I personally thought it was a good season & I enjoyed the mid-season finale.

[Victor808]

It was good... I don't mean to be a negative nancy. It's still the best thing on tv. I just felt like it started the half-season way stronger than it ended.

If they're gonna follow the comic books then there is going to be a new baddie who is WAAAYYY worse than the gov. We'll see.

I need to re-read the comics, since they weren't following them as much I became uninterested

[OLS]

After watching 7 & 8 back to back last night, I am probably done with this show.
I DO give em credit for not trying the BS cliff-hanger episode thing with episode 8,
but I just think the show itself seems spent. Its not that they don't have the right
to do it the way they wish, but they are NOT compelling me to come back.
That sounds stupid having just said I hate cliff-hangers, but there doesn't seem to be
much to care about going forward. I was hoping that Beth would get comfortable in this
new life on the road and just bust out that bikini she found while out looking for baby
formula, lol. Now the only thing she'll be busting out is maggots. I am glad we have a
new hot girl rolling with the group, and I have liked Abraham since Band of Brothers.
We'll see, I doubt I will abandon it, but its easier and easier each half-season to say
F it.

[hammondc]

Yessss.....

LOTS filmed within one mile of my house this season. Neat to see stuff I see everyday

[irratebass]

3 DAYS!!!!! & Don't forget afterwards the premiere of Better Call Saul!!!! :wo

I have been re-reading the comics (I never finished them, especially after the show started), wow I really REALLY hope they introduce a new character that Kirkman teased about on Talking dead last mid season.

[Victor808]

I stopped the comics around Negan. I'll probably pick up again after that thread has been resolved. I couldn't handle the cliffhangers. :)

Should we start a new thread? I mean were not on season 4 any longer....
