That's what my brother was saying as well. I started watching the first episode over there today, and now I've gotta try to find it on demand. Hopefully they have the first season.
Best damn show ever. Love it.
If its anything like the comics, once they leave the farm shits going to get crazy

Got that right... especially once they hit the prison.
However, the TV series is pretty damn compelling stuff. I still don't see why people have been bashing the first start of season 2. People nowadays are too willing to shit on something if it isn't instant action every episode. TWD did the same last season, where it started a bit slow with lots of exposition and character development, and then from there got a little crazy. I loved this season, and did find myself pretty bummed out at the mid-season finale. Damn good stuff... can't wait to see what happens next (since they aren't exactly going completely straight from the comics)
I do hope they do one thing from the comics.
[spoiler]carl killing shane[/spoiler]
I agree! I'm also hoping that...
[spoiler]Lori is killed.[/spoiler]
All I am waiting for is The Governor...
and who going to play him lol
Starts back up Sunday, excellent.
After the newest episode, please tell me im not the only one who wants Ricks wife to die? God she is an awful character
don't think she awful , I feel she is real .
the world as she known it has gone to hell , you were told that your husband was dead , you move on from that , you take comfort with another man , and than find out that he ( your husband ) is alive and know that you maybe carrying another man baby.
Don't think she awful at all
Also I am glad we get to see more of Rick being a Bad Ass. We forgot he can kick ass when he has too.
Oh the story lines shes in add to the show, and the character its self isnt a bad one, but I find her very annoying and cliche.
Her storyline within the show is good, but the dialogue with her is brutal IMO
lol
well Cory you might get your wish ...if things are going the way I think they are going
I love this show does anyone know what the ending song was on the latest ep?
Am I the only one who really doesn't want Shane to die? I love the way the character is portrayed and really think the show would miss something with him gone. I've read a lot about the set being quite toxic between a cast member and other cast members with Frank leaving and I've been hoping it's not Dale or Shane. I know that Darabont cast Munn and Laurie Holden in a lot of things previously, but who knows?
I wouldn't mind Lori getting killed off, especially so after her attempt to manipulate Rick in the tent in regards to Shane. I think she could do with going and I would be quite glad to see her go before a baby even gets introduced.
Unfortunately, Shane's death is an important moment in the comics, and they seem to be setting it up to be the same type of deal in the show.
Oh? I was under the impression it happened much earlier in the comics and wasn't as big of a deal as it could of been? I've never read them though but from what I did read on the wiki, he died much earlier and when Rick found out..
[spoiler]That dead people come back to life, even if not bitten, he went back and dug him up/killed him.[/spoiler]
I didn't realize it was a big deal in the comics but in the show, it certainly is being made that way. I'm still hoping he doesn't die because I like the dynamic he brings to the show. A ruthless character like him could really be of help against someone like the Govenor.
I'm tempted to buy the comics for sure though, I'm really into this show and I found myself searching on the walking dead wiki about most characters lol.
If I remember correctly....
[spoiler]In the comics, Shane is trying to kill Rick (so that he could be with Lori and "his" baby). Just before Shane can kill Rick, Carl comes to Ricks aide and kills Shane. This is a big turning point for Carl in the comics.
So I've heard.[/spoiler]
Yeah I read that too. I'm kind of hoping it doesn't go down that way but like you said, that's a pretty big building block for the character isn't it?
it not following the the comic exactly ... but it close
but I expect some characters to be around little longer than in the comic run
Shanes one of the highlights of the show....killing him off would make almost all of the conflict between characters gone.
We will meet the Governor... Season 3
I can not wait for that
[spoiler]Seriously, this is a spoiler, only go if you wanna know for sure what happens at the end of this season....[spoiler]http://www.411mania.com/movies/news/227284/[TV]-Spoilers-Revealed-for-The-Walking-Dead-Season-Two-and-Three.htm[/spoiler][/spoiler]
Total sad face
:(
I love this show!
So if you watched this weeks show then you'll realize that..
[spoiler]Dale is dead..[/spoiler]
This was the death I was talking about when I mentioned an actor or actress was apparently very furious that Darabont got fired and wanted out. The tension on the set was supposedly very toxic and it was because of that actor. Shame to find out who it was, especially considering I liked the character.
Also shows us that anything can occour on this incarnation of the series, including people surviving who should die and die who should survive.
What do you guys think of the episode?
actually he was never in the comic ... his character was not supposed to make out of season one.
He lasted this long on the sheer force of acting will. I feel bad because I like the actor and the character .
great show last night
BD, I think you're confusing characters... lol
[spoiler](http://www.zombiephiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/walking-dead-tv-comic-comparison-dale.jpg)[/spoiler]
your right fnord ... damn i need some coffee lol
my bad...
Good actor....liked his tension with Shane and he was excellent in the finale of season one when the explosion happened and he talked that blonde chick out of killing herself.
Shame....now lets just kill that idiot son and the annoying wife :)
...bring back Merle somehow ahahahaha
Merle ... I got a feeling he going to be back one way or other

Show has been dragging a bit for me, so nice pick me up and I am not surprised...
[spoiler]guy was in Shawshank, Greenmile and The Mist off the top of my head all directed by Darabont.[/spoiler]
Apparently a little bit of the tension on the show was because Jon Berthanl didn't want to leave. Sucks to think that he wanted to stay and the writers wanted him to go to progress Rick further. I think the show needs two strong male leads because one strong male lead can't really handle everything when it comes time to fight.
I guess that's what Daryl is there for though. I do like Daryl, I just thought Shane was awesome.

Exactly....even tho Shane was corny at some times...he was my second favourite behind Daryl. I think they might still have in invovled with maybe some flashback type scenes or something.
Hopefully Darryl will get a bigger spotlight now, he's a bad ass. Reminds me of Sawyer from Lost a lot.
get to watch the whole season this Sunday leading to Season Finale ... so happy
He lasted longer in the show than in comics. but his fate was always sealed
you just know shit is going to get worse from here on ...
Fucking awesome season... just fucking awesome
Rare that shows fire off a good season 1 with an outstanding season 2, but they managed it!
Season Finale was amazing. I was surprised at how Rick seems to be snapping. Also was kind of mad when Andrea saving was spoiled earlier because of the sneak peak they gave a while back
I was mildly let down by the finale. Seems like it didn't quite live up to the 2 episodes prior to it. Not to say that I didn't enjoy it, because I sure as fuck did. It just wasn't as amazing as I was hoping.

[spoiler]Two deaths of named characters, the farm burning down, the virus being in EVERYONE, Michonne's arrival, the prison, and Rick turning into Shane at the end isn't amazing? :o[/spoiler]
That finale was awesome as fuck:
[spoiler]More action packed than 80% of the season. I had given up after the second episode back this season, felt the show was just stalling and spinning its wheels with the farm and on monday decided to re-watch it again, and man I am glad I did. Lots of action, blood, gore, and great acting by the cast. But man.. FUCK LORI. 3 episodes again she was telling Rick to kill Shane, now she's disgusted by the act?? Inconsistent bitch, and Carl has been a little annoying brat.[/spoiler]
I'm still questioning how everyone is infected. is it dormant and only takes effect after death or can it take effect anytime

Anybody else just want to slap the ever fucking fuck out of Lori after she gets all bitchy towards Rick?
Yes! I also wonder if they're gonna go the same route as the novels with Lori once they get to the Prison?
Quote from: pilsbery on March 19, 2012, 01:35:59 PM

This has pretty much been hinted at over the last two seasons (the whole dormant virus thing). Biggest example I can think of is the walker Rick stumbled upon who'd hung himself in the woods. No way a walker could have done that in his current state, so odds are the guy tried to off himself, succeeded, and reanimated while still in the noose. Also, it's probably the main reason Rick plugged the two guys in the head at the bar this season (when he was with Glenn and Hershel) after shooting them dead originally.
Makes sense, it was a clever way to make Rick look angrier/more dictator-like as well, that he'd hidden it from everyone.
Anyone got any season 3 predictions?
Mine are that they'll obviously go to the prison, Michonne will end up there with Andrea, potentially the route Carol goes down (but maybe just the major moment for her, not the weirder lead-up stuff). Guessing Dexter/Axel/Thomas/Andrew will be in the prison. Also guessing the guys that were at the bar/Randall was with will end up being the Woodbury Gang

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think the zombie was bite or something and I never really took that into to thought when Rick did that. Thanks for answer my question
Note for Rick...if you need bait use your wife and son. Fucking twats the pair of them. Otis or whatever his name was more useful.
I'd also like to think the change in Andrea will be complete now. Turned fully on the group after being abandoned.
I found the series a bit stop and start till the last two episodes. Really good.
Yeah I'd like to see a more badass Andrea, she isn't the one rescued by Michonne in the book so basically anything can happen from her!
I barely watch the show and I want to slap the fuck out of Lori.

as good as the ones before it. If I had to grade the last 3 episodes, I would give them A, A+, A-. A- is still damn fucking good, know what I mean?[/spoiler]
Sarah Wayne Callies has annoyed me ever since her days on Prison Break. It seems like she can only play wishy washy, flip flopping bitches. She needs to be walker bait, ASAP.
One question to all of you. Does anyone else find it almost distracting that in 2 full seasons of the show, the word "zombie" is never used?
I believe it's because in this world there was no "Zombie Fiction" before the event happened, so why would they call them zombies?

the virus itself is something of a retro virus ... once death occurs it kicks in and re-animates the flesh. I think it like a low level charge on a battery of a computer, just enough charge in it to run the body , but not fully charge . running on basic functions ... the need to feed .
Lori piss me off with that look she gave Rick ... It was her fault that it ended like that between rick and shane ... You telling rick to do something about shane ... confusing to Shane that the time they had together was not all bad and she not mad about it ... she set it for one of them to fall and has the never to look at rick like he the bad guy ... have to admit the actress that plays her done a awesome job . IMO of making you hate the shit out of that character
The Day of the Rick-tiorship has begun ...
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2efqbsw.jpg)
Just saying on the first page I called out Lori being awful....just saying. Jumping on my bandwagon...ever time theres a walker I want that bitch to die. So annoying! and a cunt after the way she looked at Rick
I didnt read any of the comics...but whose the chick with two zombie slaves that appeared to save that blonde chick near the end of the episode?
Her name is Michonne. I hope they explain how she can control those two walkers.
Michonne is a bad-ass black chick with a sword.

Thanks for the Spoilers BD!!!
Gary ... I could go whole different way , I have no idea ... I am only guessing at this point. nothing is set in stone . Hell, Herschel was suppose to die at the farm at one point , killed by Randall, that changed ...
So right now I am only assuming , noting is spoiled trust me on that
Well I didn't know Lori died in the comics so now im no gonna be shocked if she does in the show.
hell the comics are only a guideline at this point... she could live all the way through the show for all I know ...
I haven't read the comics, but it is my understanding that EVERYONE dies in the comics, save Rick and maybe 1-2 more.
I don't think Michonne "controls" the walkers. I think they are 'neutered' with the removal of their arms/jaws.
Thats not the point BD, point is now that you said it happens in the comics, it takes away the shock factor if it happens on the show because you mentioned it.
Yeah, when I stopped buying the comic a couple years back she was still alive. Because of the show, it interested me again, so I've been picking up the trades... I didn't know she died in the comic... :(
For Cory
[spoiler]in the comics, she gives birth to baby girl , who they name Judith ( judy for short ) She and the baby is killed by Lilly who is part of the Governor army that attacks the prison in a final assault . Baby dies also ... that reason I don't think it going to happen in the TV show ... it could happen , but also they may keep her on longer for all I know. TV show is a different animal than the comic. [/spoiler]
I've been avoiding this thread while I watch the show for fear of spoilers - the US gets this a week ahead of the UK, plus I haven't read any of the books.
This show rocks my fucking socks off. If I was to write a screenplay, this would be it. In fact, in my zombie project (currently on hold) some of the themes that I have seen play out on TV are very similar to what I've written. The one that mirrored my writing the most was the arrival of the crazy looking chick with zombies on chains - I wrote something eerily similar.
The only negative? I haven't written for ages because this has taken over the zombie part of my mind so entirely.
And I love zombies.
Thanks BD....and yeah post spoiler way just incase when mentioning the comics...I see where Gary is coming from but as long as I know she died at some point and I wont have to suffer through the annoyance that is Lori im happy.
So close
New season starts with a bang ...
Rick in Bad ass mode ... can not wait for the next show
Episode was bad ass. But, how dumb was Herschel? Walking past a body without checking it?
yeah... big neon sign that said " your fuck " when he walk down that hallway. first thing you do check the bodies that are siting on the floor...
also you notice that door was locked from the outside at the end... interesting
I like how they are working as a unit with rick in charge ... [spoiler]clear the courtyard well ... zombies in riot gear ... I nearly piss my pants laughing when I saw that . like we gone to the next level in the video game lol [/spoiler]
That was awesome (the spoiler). I marked out. The wife looked @ me like I was crazy.
Is it wrong with each passing episode to hope that Rick's wife dies...
Nope....Im praying she dies during birth or something....such a horrible character.
Also, really stupid from Herschell.
Last nights ep?!? Dude!!! Duuuuude!! Intense fucking shit!!!
T! T!!! T-DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWG!!!!!!!!!![/MetalGearSolid]
[spoiler]T-Dawg the most pointless character even in death you are still out deathed by someone else...NO MOURNING FOR YOU! You knew the writing was on the wall when the other black guy popped up.[/spoiler]

Can we all agree that coming into this thread it is reasonable to assume there will be spoilers from the latest episode to air? That way we don't feel obligated to spoiler tag every single post, and the tag can e save to things that perhaps happen later in the series?

:(
I'm just saying. Things from the comic series further than the show should still be spoiler tagged. The title of the thread DOES say "on AMC" so its reasonable to assume that the thread is going to discuss the show. But if the show has aired, and you haven't seen it yet, why come to the thread? Most-if not all-new posts in this thread usually relate to things that happened in the most recent episode.
Otherwise most of these posts are going to need to be tagged, which makes reading the thread itself rather tedious when people quote something tagged by another player.
Bear in mind that if people lurk recent posts, like me, it's sometimes unavoidable to look into threads, because the posts flash up in full.
I mean, I don't personally watch the show so I don't mind, but just saying for the record.

agreed really wish he had more screen time. Last Episode was such a cliff hanger (kind of). Really wonder what is going to happen to Glen and Maggie. Also wonder will Daryl side wih or against his brother when it comes down to it. Only thing that killed it was the trailer for the season earlier. If i didn't see it i would had wondered how Rick would react to Michonne come to the prison with the supplies. Can't wait for the next one.
Well would Dale side with Merle , will Merle side with him ... or one of them is going to die ...
Dale?! Dale already died ages ago!
I MISS T-DOG!!!!!!
WHY WHY MUST I WAIT FOR A NEW EPISODE. Last one was pretty good. Did't see that ending coming at all.That Governor is a cold blooded sob.Somethings are kind of obvious what will happen with the previews of the next half of the season hate when they do that because it kills certain surprises.

I agree with this, unless Merle rejoins the group. The rest of the characters aren't really worth watching.
The kid is a lot less annoying in this series, though.
^^
QFT. Daryl and Merle are my two favourites going.... also starting to like that prisoner with the moustache. Calling Sofies mom a lesbian was funny as shit.
I guess I'm just in the minority as I enjoy most of the characters in general. I started to lose interest in Rick during his breakdown, but now that he's back to regular I'm rooting for him again.

Rick is pimp ...
I just didn't like him during his breakdown. Characterization is one thing, but that felt more forced to me than natural.
But my point was that I have seen people bitch about almost every character (Daryl seems to be universally loved) and I just don't agree with them, except about Rick for a couple episodes.
Rick breakdown and transformation I had no problem because he had to really harden himself to the reality of this world. I the comic is was more natural , but it would same a little force for tv because he has to change quickly ... be end result is man that going to do what it takes to protect his people.
Walking dead has returned and the last episode kind of disappointed me. It wasn't really worth the wait imo. Hopefully the second half will be better
Yeah, last episode was awful.
It was good, but not for a Season 3B premiere. It seems like the way this season is progressing, there is no natural spot to break the show for 3 months, and pick up with a hum dinger.

I just wish I hadn't used the words "hum dinger", LOL.
THIS should have been the Season 3B premiere!
Remember 3B premiere was just last half of the episode... they needed break up the season . they why it was disappointing , season is going to pick up
Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis? The 3B premiere was a whole episode?
I know
They split the thing into 3A and 3B ... it would have been better as one full episode... That why 3B was more disappointing and last week show felt like it should have been premiere for second half of the season.
Like I said earlier....

So true. So true.
+1
Thought the season, and the finale, were both good. Looking forward to season 4.
One thing that annoys me, is a large (vocal) population of TWD fandom. The friggin' fanboys that bitch and moan after every episode, because "in the comic, XYZ happened, not ABC, so this is the most awful thing EVAR!!". If you wanna read the comic, then read it. If you want to watch a show BASED on the comic, where it as been stated NUMEROUS times that they are going their own way with the plot, then watch. Just quit wishing they were the same damn thing.
[/rant]
I like how they don't go with the comic it gives the show its own identity and it s own feel. Honestly if it went exactly the same as the graphic novel it wouldn't be as enjoyable or as suspenseful because everyone could just read the gn instead of waiting for the next episode or season. The season ending was a heart breaker. I was like noooooo when certain events happened that I can't mention due to people not seeing it yet. Than was like omg it can't end like this for such and such. I was teary eyed watching this episode. Can't wait for season 4.
I thought it was an anti-climax to be honest. The first half of the series seemed like it was building up to something special, but the second didn't live up to the potential It's probably to do with them killing off most of the interesting characters. The ones we're left with are mostly a bit bland or have just morphed into the group and lost anything that made them unique.
Is anyone still watching this? If so, what do you think of the latest series?
I thought it seemed like it was starting to get interesting until the last episode. My problem with the series is that all of the people in the main group have finished their character development and have become one dimensional. Now we're just watching things happen to people who aren't very interesting anymore. When [spoiler]the Governor [/spoiler] returned, we had a new character development arc and a potentially interesting splinter group to take the focus and burden away from the tired main characters. The way that story was brought to a sudden halt has undone all of the good work of this series and left us right back where we were [spoiler]before the prison[/spoiler] but with characters who the writers no longer seem to care about developing any further. It's similar to what happened to Merle, Shane and [spoiler]the woman who Rick just kicked out of the group in this series[/spoiler]: as soon as a character starts to become interesting or does something morally questionable, the writers get rid of them. The writers have to be willing to take a few more risks with their characters before the series gets too stale. It might be too late, judging from the lack of interest in this topic since the show started up again.
Personally, I stay away from this topic because the yanks get to see the show quicker and I don't want it spoiled.
Not sure I really agree on your points but then I'm a massive fan of the series, have read all the novels bar one and am quite far advanced with the comics.
They are adapting an existing story after all, so I was begging for [spoiler]the governor to get his comeuppance[/spoiler]. I do like seeing the differences AND the similarities with the books, but instead of stale characters I feel that this season so far has been ratcheting up the tension to an inevitable event which is going to put the characters in more jeopardy and you will see much more from them.
[spoiler]Maggie and Beth will be dealing with the death of Hershel, the girls are eerily similar to a couple of other characters in the comics, Rick will be more emotionally strained than ever and Carl continues to evolve into a man. The reason you might have been feeling a bit stale with it is because the number of characters grew a lot - they've been thinned out a bit now, so they will get a bit of focus.[/spoiler]
I for one am really excited by what is to come and cannot wait. My favourite TV show right now by some distance.
I stay away from thread because of spoilers and not going to ruin stuff for people
It back ... Great Episode last sunday... love the look at Michonne's past and her going dead island on the Zombies
can not wait for next week
[spoiler]
Having never read the comics, I was like is Rick going to seriously die? I was like no fucking way. Of course he didn't, but man, I was a little bit worried for a while.
I liked the Carl/Michonne episode as we got to see their characters get built up a little bit.
No doubt Carl is going to get himself in some pretty sticky situations from here on out. But Michonne continues to develop into one of my favorite characters on the show.
The sneak peak at the next show looks really intense. Looking forward to that for sure.
[/spoiler]
It totally went over my head when watching the show but I watched Talking Dead afterwards and they noted that.....
[spoiler]Michonnes original Walker "pets" were her lover and friend from tonights flashback/dream. Makes it even more intense when you look at it that way.[/spoiler]
Ah, I had no clue.
I thought that was the case, but wasn't sure.
Makes it a lot deeper, for sure.
That was also the same in the comics as well.

Neither am I, nor have I read The Walking Dead comics (except for the first one which I was able to read for free online). I was merely curious about some of the similarities/differences between the comics and the show and in learning about the Michonne character discovered that.
I need a hug after that last episode
For sure. But I saw it coming.
Made me think I was reading a cormac McCarthy novel or something. Probably my favorite episode of the entire series.
Now that was an episode and a half

Agreed. probably my favorite episode as well. Reminded me a little bit of the original Dawn of the Dead but without the person waking up in the post-death scene and someone going crazy (in Dawn one of the SWAT officers goes on the rampage at the very beginning of the movie).
That was the closest I've ever come to crying at a TV show/movie. I'm not sure how they can follow that up this season. Nothing else is going to seem important.
Terminus.

You think season 1 is dragging? HA! Wait until season 3
The Walking Dead has this pattern through all of its seasons:
STUFF HAPPENS.........slow character progression...........STUFF HAPPENS..........slow character progression...........ZOMG STUFF FUCKING HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!
You knew you were going to run into people like these sooner or later ...
Season finale was a bit bland...I feel like I am in a constant loop of the middle of the Lost series...
Bland? I've seen quite a few complaints about the last episode so I am guessing I am in the majority who thought it was great. Tipped off the season with a cliffhanger, and had that really intense scene with Joe and his group during the first half of the episode. Another fantastic season for the show in my opinion.
Yeah, the scene with Joe was right out of the comic, against another group, but still there.
And if I heard right, the name of one of the "bad guys" reveals what Terminus really is (compared to the books). It left me real excited about next season!
Other than the last line ("they don't know who they're screwing with" -- soooo lame), I enjoyed it. You don't need 3 major character deaths to have an effective finale, and people seem to forget that.

that from the comic book , so the comic geeks like me love it
Well, to be fair, in the comic he says "They don't know who they're fucking with" but this is TV afterall and not HBO.
Ha!
I have only ever watched one episode, and this really wasnt my thing.
However, the wife loved it.
I can only confirm her disappointment by her "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT" comment as the credits started to roll on the last episode.
Apart from that, I have no idea...
I thought the second half of the season was better than the first, but overall it just felt like it was building up to the next season.
Reminded me of Season 2 in a lot of ways, but it's done it's job insofar as I can't wait for Season 5 now. Hopefully it'll be a bit more standalone.
Walking Dead has always struck me as being a show about a journey, and not a destination.

True, but to the masses that I know, it's built up that you almost have to kill off. When people (ex facebook friends of mine) go "Oh man I can't wait to see who dies and what this means and that means" It's like, they've made many fans off killing of major characters that the one time they didn't left a lot of people disappointed. Are they gonna stop watching? No, but disappointing fans is not a good look.
They should know better. Walking Dead is all about ripping characters that you care about away from you when you don't expect it.
Doing so in the finale would be far too clichéd. I can't recommend the comics and novels enough, and the show is now following a path different enough so that people that do read are now being surprised too.
I'll say this much. Despite the fact I thought the ending was bland they have piqued my interest in what happens next season as it relates to Terminus and the ending of this season.

[spoiler]Well, the are still taking things from the comics and using them, just twisting them. Hershel was killed in the way Tyreese was in the comics. I'm pretty sure "Terminus" is the group of cannibals in which the "group" ended up killing brutally. If so, I'm excited they are expanding on that. [/spoiler]

Nah, I think that she is going to show up and help rescue the crew with whomever "took" her. This show is big on foreshadowing things, and if you remember during the flashback scene at the prison, Rick put Carl's hat on Beth and said "there's a new sheriff in town".

I hope so , I really started to like her and thought she had grown as a character this season.
I hope she and Daryl knock boots, if only to piss off legions of online "Caryl" shippers.

lmao ...
Haha, Beth for me is the only appealing one in terms of looks. That latina chichk (Rosita?) that was with Abraham too, so I hope she has a larger role.
As long as she stops singing, I don't mind her having a bigger role.
She's actually a professional singer. lol
I figured that's why they had her doing it so much. It's just so cheesy and simply wastes time they could be using for zombies.
I may be alone when I say this, but 16 eps was too long. Had they shortened it I think it would have been better as a whole.
In saying that, seasons 3 and 4 have been the best thus far. I hope the canninals are stront antagonists. Lord knows this show needs bad fuys, especially after killing guvvy boy after 3 eps.
I think that spending 2 full eps with the Governor this season, only to immediately kill him off, was a waste of time. Humanize him, just to immediately re-demonize him?
I like it when the show gives a little bit of focus to people outside of the group, such as the governor or the leader of the claimers. It's more example of the type of characters an apocalypse can produce, and if they delve into it further, what particular circumstances brought them there. I think the mini arc with the governor was good story telling.
I am really curious to get some background on terminus next season, however the hell someone came up with the idea for such an elaborate human flesh farm or whatever the hell it is. Whether through exposition type dialogue or actual flashbacks, I'd like to see how such a place came about.
Had the Governor lived, it would've been great story telling. The fact they killed him off an episode later made it all a big waste of time.
I felt when the Governor died the show lucked any antagonist and dulled it a little for me. Merle was good, the Gov was good, but we had no friction with anybody except the archer who died 1 ep later (which I was happy with, he was a douche)
Shane, the Governor and Merle were my 3 favourite characters. That probably says something about me.
They are adapting source material though. Gov and Shane far outlived their counterparts in the book and Merle is a new character.
Characters are not safe, like game of Thrones. I love it.
I enjoyed what they did with the Governor, can disagree more that it was a waste of time. Would you have preferred for him to have just come back, attacked and been killed? They added far more depth to the character during season 3 for them to do something like that. Plus, his death in the comics was pretty underwhelming. But even in the source material they had a few issues that focused on the Governor and what was going in between attacks on the prison. There had to be more reason for the attack than revenge, made the character much more memorable and his transition into what he was more believable.

^This. All f'ing day THIS.
I always liked the way they did the Governor in the TV series. There were "glimmers of humanity" before this of course, little moments easily overlooking. Like the whole talk with Rick at the grain silos, where he recounted the last day his wife was alive. About how she'd called him and he never found out what she wanted, that it haunted him. The conversation with Milton about how Penny would have viewed him now, and he said that she'd be afraid of him...but she'd be alive. It showed a remarkable depth of self-awareness of his 'monsterhood'... because despite those glimmers of humanity this is the guy that was down to torture someone that had been his lover, and kept a wall of heads in fishtanks.
Some guys really gotta have TV haha.
I enjoyed the episodes that showed where he went and what happened after he flipped out, what new things were motivating him rather than just have him show up with a tank at the gates to attack again. Now that would have been more of a "wtf" moment without the build.
For me one of the most powerful moments in the series came after Herschel and Rick try and talk to him, telling him they could all live in peace, together. And there's quiet. Everything is quiet, no background noises or nothing and you think...hey maybe he'll go for it. Then that pause, and the way his expression changes so subtly.
"Liar."Damn, chills.

It was his story and his story ended. I completely fail to see how that was a waste of time. It was intrigueing, emotional and profound and well worth the three hours of my life I invested in it.
And the story led to another larger story in the impact it had on the core group losing their home and being split. Again, where's the waste?
And well pretty much what flins and sabra said.
I loved what they did with the Governor this season. Very well worked, but it dulled a little between then and the finale. Besides ep 13 with the little girls, I felt there was a lot of fluff.
I kind of felt that way about individual episodes, but in the end the overall package kind of paid off forme, I was left feeling "damn, that was a good season". The only episode that really dragged out for me though was the one that focused on Daryl and Beth. That seemed like it didn't need a full episode to expand on really. As cool as Daryl is in the action scenes, he's not the most interesting character in terms of dialogue!
Agree to disagree.
well mike , you are going to watch next season right
so in the end think they got what they wanted
I didn't say it annoyed me enough to stop watching. I just thought it was ultimately a big waste of time.
All I know is they are doing Alexandra Safe and DC story arc. So, be ready for some crazy stuff like villains that make the Gov look like child's play.

They added Dr. Porter late in the mix so they might have changed some of the story. Which is nice if they followed the comics I wouldn't be watching. The wife always asks what happens next? I tell her comic wise but tv show wise I have no idea.
The Walking Dead has returned and hot damn what a way to start the season. [spoiler] Negan might have made a cameo. Morgan is back and might join the group. Only need to find where is Beth.

Gimple stated some of the timeline of this season will flashback or be hour/days/weeks/months ahead in the timeline. They maybe doing the Alexandra Safe Zone arc which means [spoiler]Negan will be there. What happened at the train car really didn't explain where in the timeline it happened. Thus it could be a foreshadowing of Negan debuting. Also, with Morgan and Father Gabe being added to the mix. This will draw more into the comics.[/spoiler]

If so, then I am happy they do the [spoiler]rotten meat with someone which leads to some one losing a limb. Also, that means Carl might get his eye missing.[/spoiler]
Do you agree this could be Safe Zone arc?
[spoiler]I think we are on that path, I'm not sure how the hunters storyline plays out as it wouldn't make sense for them hunt the group just for food now. As for Negen, I think he will definitely be involved this season, but perhaps not until later on - don't want it too close to The Governor. I have been wondering if perhaps Beth has become one of Negen's wives. On the Talking Dead they hinted at what has happened to Beth, and I think this makes sense. Further speculation, I think Darryl infiltrates Negen's group to save her (i.e. play the role of the character in the comics who looks too similar to Darryl for it not to be something).[/spoiler]
[spoiler]The trailers show Beth in some kind of hospital type building getting hit by a female cop - I think it would be too soon to bring in Negan at this point. I'm thinking towards the end of the season if at all. I think, with Beth and Darryl not being comic characters, we can expect something completely fresh from those two.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Didn't watch the trailers, my bad. Sounds intriguing though, can't think of anything Hospital related in the comics.[/spoiler]
Gimple did say on Talking Dead this season will have more comic elements this season. Makes me happy but the wife has to ask questions about things.

Yeah I think full well it could heading down that path. I like all the comic elements added but what are they going to do about Andrea since she is dead. I dont know if Carl will lose his eye since Rick still has his hand they might let him keep it.

Re Andrea, just find someone else to adapt like they did with Hershel losing his leg instead of Dale. Beth or Tara maybe.
Man clicking on spoiler tags is annoying after 10 posts in a row?
I suggest a House rule ... if it has aired on TV no need for spoiler tags. You should know better than to read the thread having not watched the episode.
If it happened in the comics then we can use spoiler tags because not everyone reads those or wants to know about things that COULD happen.
Grumble grumble.

However Father Gabe is as useless as Eugene. I bet Gareth's group enjoyed the BobBQ.
To be honest I found the first episode of the season a bit tame in the sense that they killed the victims before eating them. I guess they had a decent refrigeration/preservation system, so that eliminated the need to keep the meat alive.
Now of course terminus and it's luxuries have gone, they have to go back to more primitive ways.
When I say I found it tame, this is because my last encounter with cannibalism in fiction was reading cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and this was fricking brutal. I was wondering why the walking dead didn't go down that road (at least on TV, I cant speak for the comics) but I guess now they are.

That was tame compare to the comics. I hope they push it a little more. The wifie did cover her eyes when they where eating Bob's leg right in front of him.
I just saw a couple of episodes on Z Nation about cannibals, so it's lost a bit of its impact on me.
How many actors from The Wire are in this now?
You stuck with Z Nation? I could barely get through the pilot.
The acting is terrible and the budget isn't very high, but it has its moments and I like the tone of it. The Walking Dead is relentless misery so I like having a similar show to watch that's a bit more light hearted.
The only one I cared about was Harold Perrineau, and they went and killed him off.

He went out to be alone and start crying, this led me to believe that he was actually bitten by the underwater zombie earlier in the episode and he was getting ready to kill himself or something. Was this A deliberate red herring by the writers or am I looking to much into it?
He was bitten. Remorseful kiss goodbye, hobbling off in tears. Like an elephant leaving the herd to go die alone.

No. He is a recovering alcoholic. Remember the scene where he risked his and a few others lives to save some booze? Everyone inside was drinking wine, and he didn't want to be a part of that because he knew it would drive him down a bad road, so he went outside.
Its actually the main reason I'm mad they're killing him off. It was SUCH a good piece of character development, and they're killing him as a result of it.

Holy crap that is a good theory. The wife and I still think he got attack in the water.
The alcoholic thing crossed my mind too.
Also one could speculate that Gabriel's foolishness almost cost bob dearly... And perhaps that reminded bob of when his foolishness caused others to die... Both before he joined the group, and that one time he was with the group, didn't he get trapped beneath a fallen wine rack or something, and some young kid that Beth was dating at the time, dies trying to free him?
But yeah, the remorseful kiss goodbye seems a bit over the top.
Having said that, of he WAS bitten, wouldn't he have been leaving it kind of late to tell anyone... Didn't Andreas sister turn a lot quicker then that?
Also, would/will it affect those who are currently digesting him, if he is infected?

That was so long ago but I thought it was a slow effect but I could be wrong.
You may be right about it being a slow effect, but wasn't there really high fever and other tell tale signs before the turn? But yeah it's back in the first season, I'd have to rewatch to know for sure.
The more I think about it though, the more I have to go with stoner. Apart from the bit about killing him off... That's twice you said that, and we don't know for sure. Hershel lost a limb and lasted another two seasons. ;D
Wouldn't he just be equal to Dale in the comics?
I say killed him off because its unlikely they will find him before more of him gets eaten. Not to mention that even if they found him, would he WANT to live anymore? Hershel lost his leg to save his life. Bob watched his leg get eaten. I almost think it'd be a mercy if they killed him afterwards.
My personal theory is the alcohol one. His reactions when he walked outside were fairly similar to reactions I've seen to alcoholics in my own life trying to keep away. He wanted to drink, he wanted to have fun with the people with him that were drinking. But he knew it would turn him into a person not only that he himself didn't want to be, but that no one else would want to be around either.
That, and Daryl DID say he'd kill him if he saw him with booze again.
@ Fnord - Never read too far into the comics, no idea what happened with Dale. Am not afraid of it being spoiled for me though so if you want to fill me in I'd be up for it.
Might want to use the spoiler tags for the comics... I, like stoner, will personnally read them anyway, (because theres more than enough differences between the two from my understanding, to put too much faith into it) but I can see how it could piss someone off.
This might reveal what Bob's all about though...
[spoiler]In the comic book, Dale was still alive when they got to the church. In fact, he had his leg taken off instead of Hershel. THEN the "hunters" kidnapped him after he had gotten bitten and was wandering off to let himself just die as he had already given up. They ate his other leg and he laughed at them since he was infected and they all just ate infected meat. So they could be using Bob for Dale's part here. [/spoiler]
I think I remember that correctly... lol
That would be interesting. If its what happens I'll be a bit disappointed because of the aforementioned character development I thought they had going on. But it is ALSO an interesting idea as well.
[spoiler]Bob didn't seem to be in a laughing mood at the time though[/spoiler]
It was so funny he was crying!
See, from what I'm led to believe, sometimes they deliberately seem like they're going along with the comics only to swerve at the end.
But this certainly adds another dimension to the speculation.
Not to be wishing my weekend away or anything thing, but I REALLY can't wait for Sunday night now!
Quote from: Fnord on October 24, 2014, 08:43:17 PM

Yes Sir, he is taking over Dale's role like Hershel losing the leg.
I think he was bitten. Notice the big change from happy smiling Bob (pre bite) to morose sad Bob (post bite). He finished helping the group with their mission, gave one last kiss to his girl, and went outside to do the deed (remember, the director made a deliberate decision to show Bobs gun in his waistband).

This is all what I thought originally, but it almost seemed too obvious after I thought about it for a bit. I guess I just was kinda hoping for something deeper/subtle.
It's not like there is a lack of character development in the show haha but yeah, I think on this occasion, as with Gabriel, they are keeping things on a similar tangent to the comic books. I questioned Gareth being the leader of the hunters previously, but now I've thought about it and seen it played out, it makes sense. At first I thought they'd be all vengeance and retribution, but this fits the Terminus ethos, like how they were carving up his brother in the previous episode, really highlights what they have become as a group.
As for the time it takes to turn, it would really depend on the wound, with Andrea's sister, she'd had her throat ripped out and died pretty quickly.
Didn't the guy who dug all of those graves in the first series get bit and take a while to turn?

Come on. We've seen what she can do. She's not gonna stand for some punk ass slapping her around. I can't wait to see Carol fuck these people up.

Haha, never commenting halfway during an episode ever again :-[
[spoiler] wtf though... I thought the whole point of those hallucinations was character development! Seems kind of a waste.... I mean I can see what they were doing, trying to get us that much more emotionally invested, but meh, seems a bit to joss whedonish to me.... Still a really good episode, just a bit more pointless than I was expecting[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I love when Rick and Carl have father and son bonding moments killing walkers[/spoiler]
I completely agree. Tonight's episode was swank.
I loved this whole season. Really sad to see it end, but so thrilled with how great of a story this was. Right up to the finale. Perfect.
Holy. Shit.

[spoiler]Obviously, I would love for it to be Nicholas on top of him getting his guts eaten and Glenn to find a way under the trashcan or something... but let's be real. I watched that scene a few times and even the ones on Talking Dead thought the same... it just doesn't look like Nicholas fell on top of him. What sucks about this is I connected with Glenn more then any other character and just had that feeling through the episode that it was going to be him. I hope it's not true... I really do. But I just don't see how he realistically survives that. [/spoiler]
[spoiler]It's a show about zombies. Anything can happen. lol.[/spoiler]
[spoiler] Honest it just a teaser , he not dead , but there still setting you up big time... because I know the comics and show have move away from each other so far they barely resemble each other now. But when Negan ( major comic book villain some say even better then the Governor) who been confirmed to appear this season meets Glen is just too big of a moment in comics and just a great way to introduce his character by the way , just to damn good not to bring on screen. Yeah he will return . but rest a sure , he is not making it out of this season. [/spoiler]
[spoiler]I have watched it a couple of times, can't see how it is not him that is being ripped apart there. I am sure they will find another way of introducing Negen. Or just another character for him to bludgeon.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] see where your coming from with that... but just feels like a wasted opportunity and just dumb way to get rid of such a beloved character ,I have to have faith that writers are smarter than that , plus also not going to see what happen until eps. 5 as next week is Morgan back story , so were going to guessing for other two weeks. Honestly my thought it just a fake out with Glenn and he going to come out alive only to get taken out in the season finale. just my opinion my man. [/spoiler]
That wouldn't be smart writing either though BD. That would just be repeating what they did with Beth.

[spoiler]The entire episode was an allegory on Glenn (the guy that got bitten just trying to get back to his wife, etc.), and it was the perfect way to take him out, the one quality that made Glenn Glenn came back to haunt him because someone he gave a second chance ended up killing him. Will I be pissed and upset if he's gone? Yes. But to say that it was a dumb way to get rid of him is a little too far.
Also it will be wrapped up next week, as stated on The Talking Dead. It's why the episode is 90 minutes.
To add, I DO think there is a chance he's not dead yet. Given that he wasn't included in the In Memoriam on Talking Dead, and due to the fact that your intestines are not in your chest lol.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] actually it an Morgan back story on the next show, give it two weeks to get resolved , but I will maintain there is a better way to get rid of him , if they did do so , than what was done, but I am in the camp that he is not dead at all . there are few factors I notice that proves it for me. but honest they kind of stop it in the middle , right at the good part , honestly think the show just messing with us all . I have a love hate thing with the show. Sometimes it dead on brilliant and other times it make you shake your head and go why? It great way to keep you watching huh![/spoiler]
[spoiler]BD, has it been confirmed that is all about Morgan next week? Where has that come from? They specifically said on Talking Dead that Glenn would be seen in the next episode, in some form at least. Seems odd they would dedicate a 90min episode to one character.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] the next week trailer , have you seen it , it feature only Morgan...
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V23shC8xAM#)
from the trailer , same like they are , it same like there going to show how Morgan got to Alexandria , his past ties into what going to happen in the future. it looks like we get the backstory to how he learn the bo staff and how what happen between time we first saw him in season 1 , when Rick met back up with him on Season 3 and how he got to Alexandria. Morgan same to be a lynchpin to this whole season , breaking of the pace, they done it before and it about the right time , it been full steam ahead since the opener. time to catch your breath [/spoiler]
Spoiler tags are stupid ... #OldManPowersMoment
I really don't want a dues ex machina somehow saving Glenn.
Anyone just feel this is them trying to create their own Jon Snow buzz
I really enjoyed the latest episode. As much as I've enjoyed the chaotic pace of the first three this season, as a viewer I needed to catch my breath and this was perfect.
A great independent story, enjoyed the new character, and I now give a shit about Morgan again.
And now I'm ready to return to the chaos again next week.

True... and very True
Well that was an eye-opener!
We'll need to keep an eye on the situation, that's for sure.
Eye was enthralled the entire episode. It was great.
Finally! Been waiting for those two to get their act together since before terminus.
[spoiler]Fucking bullshit cop-out cliffhanger bullshit....[/spoiler]
Yeah, I didn't like that at all.
They're seriously testing their audiences patience. First the Glenn bullshit a few months ago, now this. Is Vince McMahon consulting for them too?!?
When I heard one of the cast members comparing it to the Soprano's finale... I knew we were doomed.
Whilst the cliffhanger is annoying, I'm going to give credit where it's due...
The episode actually physically stressed me out... I had a knot in my stomach that was getting progressively tighter, and by the end I was actually feeling nauseas.
In my defense, it probably didn't help that I was watching it much much later than usual because of wrestlemania.
Imagine that compounded by the gut punch of a death that you cared about. When we finally find out who (in 6 months) that emotional impact is gone.
Watch. They'll wuss out and take out the least emotional loss of that entire group. Aaron.
Or just fuck with us and take out Rick in a horrible twist.
Neegan and Trevor from Grand Theft Auto V is an awesome combo though.

They can't, they need to save him for the surprise at the very end of the series...
[spoiler]...you know, the one where he finally wakes up from his coma to find out the whole zombie apocalypse was a dream[/spoiler]
My money is on it being Abraham.
Pretty annoyed by the cop out though. Cheapens what has been (indestructible Glen aside) a pretty good season by all accounts.
Makes me wonder how long the show will go on. It needs a real gut punch so we know they're not fucking around. Don't get soft on us now.
I recently read up to the latest comic and found it gave me a real bloodless which I was both concerned and excited about.
Kill some people already. Do it horribly. MAKE US SUFFER.
College may be getting to me.
Well, Eugene seemed to have quite a bit of closure in the episode, so he's obviously one of my bets.
Abraham has been thinking about the future which is always an ominous sign.
That future involves Sasha, so she could be in trouble.
Those are my favorites.
Glen, Michone and Daryl seemed to be off to one side, not where Negan was facing, but that could be wishful thinking on my part.
I think there is a strong chance that Daryl is gay, and that they may keep Aaron around to explore that, as his boyfriend doesn't seem a central enough character to use. Just a theory of course.
Carl and Rick must surely be safe, as Negan referred to them as the next victims if anyone interferes.
Rosita would be a major cop out, they have to surely know this.
Maggie... I'm not sure. It's possible. The thought grosses me out, but I guess that would be the point haha.
Id drop $20 for it to be Carl.
To me, if it's Carl, I honestly think I'd lose a lot of interest in the show. He's the only example of the future of humanity that we are familiar enough with, to care about. I just can't see the point in watching a show about a bunch of adults struggling to live out their lives, if there's no sign of it continuing beyond them.
It's not Carl or Rick. Negan threatens to "cut out his other eye and feed it to his dad" if anyone interferes. That means it has to be someone other than those two.
Final 4 would be Daryl, Michonne, Glenn, or Maggie. My money is on Maggie.
It's Glenn. It's fairly obviously Glenn tbh. I love the butthurt threats of boycotting if they don't reveal the cliffhanger. People clearly don't understand the term... cliffhanger
Since we're making wages ... I got it being Sasha

People are pissed that there was a cliffhanger at all. There really shouldn't have been. They took the defining moment of the comics/series and fucked it up for publicity.
Well... let's think about this. Our people in the line are:
Rick
Carl
Abraham
Sasha
Glenn
Maggie
Aaron
Daryl
Michonne
Rosita
Eugene.
You can't kill Rick because he's the lead.
You can't kill Carl because he is literally the future of society.
It's possible Abraham is done because they've been focusing on him. However, it would be odd that they didn't let him get killed by the arrow like in the comics, just to die here.
Sasha is a distinct possibility. We know her enough where it would hurt, but it would save the rest. However, I don't think Abraham takes it sitting down. So...
Glenn I can't believe they'd do it for. They teased him dieing JUST to kill him off? I don't buy it.
Maggie is the show's hottie that they get free press when she does photo shoots for FHM or Maxim. She's safe.
Aaron hasn't had enough screen time lately for it to be him, so it would be a cop out to do him in.
Daryl is safe. He makes women fans wet.
Michonne is safe.
Rosita I think may be the front runner. She's been getting some screen time, and it would be impactful I think.
Eugene is safe. He can make bullets.
If I'm Neegan, I'm going to kill a fighter. I'm not going to kill some pregnant girl or some wuss or a shot guy or a kid or even the leader. That puts Sasha, Abraham, Glenn and Rosita in the crosshairs. Of that group, my money is on Rosita.

He gave the instructions to Rick. And told him Abraham will show him where the facility is. So now anyone who can follow a recipe can make bullets. Eugene is still my front runner.

I'm a fan of Daniel and Strand.
The rest can die already except Alicia ... she can come to pappy
I find almost the entire group to be annoying on Fear. The girl is an idiot. The son is a bitch. The wife is stupid. The husband is a pussy. The only people in that group that deserve to live right now is the Latino Assassin/Barber, Strand and the Drug Addict son. I WATCH the show and I can't remember all their names, which should say something about how memorable they all are.
And that family on the island they met in the last episode was all stupid too. If the dad was going to off his family, what was he waiting for and why is he repairing the fence? If the son believed as his dad, why did he shoot his mom? Is he going to go back to the house and off his sister and dad too? Won't that noise bring the zombies at the resort? And if he was going to shoot the mom, why didn't he just tell them to wait and go with them? The motivations of the entire group make no sense. And I still can't understand how the zombies attacking as they were getting on the boat and leaving Strand's house are ninjas and all just go through all the defenses of the house, and out on the patio in this huge group out of nowhere.
Although, in both shows ninja zombies have been a problem.

The Latino/Assassin is Daniel though I agree with your entire post
I've given up on Fear. I wanted to like it, because I wanted to see Rick and the gang's apocalypse on a more global scale. We know that it's a worldwide epidemic, so I was excited at the prospect of seeing it in other parts of the world.
I was also intrigued at the prospect of the plane crash survivors from the weekly snippets finally integrating with the show, I thought it was an interesting way of telling that part of the story... but honestly I stopped caring before it happened.
In a second season of any show, there should be some sort of attachment to at least one or two characters. Whilst I think Daniel is a cool character, I am not invested enough to care if he lives or dies, and no other characters even come close.
And then, they're gonna put that on in the same time-slot as GoT? That's funny! ::)
I've actually enjoyed the last couple of episodes.
Strand Daniel and the Addict continue to be my favorite characters
Everyone on this show is on crazy pills.
God, what a shit episode to use as the mid season premiere.
The only reason I watch this show is because the wife wants to, and even she is getting frustrated with it.
I feel like I missed something. The druggie kid was alone walking away from his family at the end of the mid-season finale. At the beginning of the mid-season premiere he's with some random woman and her son? I was a little confused...
That was pretty brutal for regular TV.
I enjoyed it, but it's a shame it was spoiled months ago.
Isn't the second one right out of the comics?
And Jeffrey Dean Morgan FTW....
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggbhhhhhh
This episode is effective at making me get emotional, but the writers should really be careful when it comes to playing with people's emotions. If Negan doesn't die in the absolute most brutal way possible - and I'd be happy with him dying next episode which I sadly know won't happen - it'll feel like the impact from this episode was for nothing. God I wish I could jump into the future and see his death scene.

Isn't the second one right out of the comics?
And Jeffrey Dean Morgan FTW....
Yep, complete with the eyeball and everything. There was only one batting in the comics. They took out Abraham to kind of throw everyone off. In the comics, Abraham was the one to die to the arrow through the eye, not the doctor lady.
