The Walking Dead Thread

I enjoyed it as well. 

They're certainly dragging it out a little, but I like it in a way - showing the characters in depth and developing the story. You know shit will hit the fan when you-know-who makes his first appearance.

Best episode so far I thought. That car chase was a bit unexpected though - I thought the Wolves were the only real villains of this series. Every episode seems to be off on a tangent at the moment, but no doubt all the loose ends will be tied together in time for the mid season cliffhanger.

I think actually the unremitting bleakness is finally starting to wear me down. Need some hope in there somewhere, some outpost of civilisation surviving!

Enjoyed last night's show and thought Abraham was great. Helluva lot of mumbling going on though. I always struggle to decipher what Daryl says at the best of times, but the three people he met were even worse.

The makeup and FX departments must be working overtime in this series, some of the walkers are getting really icky.

The couple that stole the bike from Darryl would have had his radio. I can't imagine he loses his crossbow for too long.

The crossbow will be coming back for sure, but I'd be astounded if the "Help" wasn't Glen.

Stupidity edited out....

Be interesting to see how he survived, also are we going to see how Rick made it out of the camper van.

Also as a side note, Rick's hand, the writers were indeed trolling the comic book fans it seems

What did you make of the episode @underdog ?

It was ok, in all honesty I think that episode could have easily been put in to another episode (the Morgan one being the obvious choice) and not lost anything.

I'm a bit gutted as I know where this is all leading to, and wished I didn't to be honest. My concern is that Darryl is getting so boring I'm wondering if he makes it to next season.

Yeah that's my feeling about the episode-dancing back and forth between Darryl and Morgan would have been easily done.

I think Darryl is going to have an incident and get back top being less boring (I hope).

I hope Darryl does come back to what he was, seems this season he's been very much an after thought, the second half of the season is going to be packed with incident starting with the mid season finale, but I hate waiting

It's turning similar to Lost-leave the episode with a cliff hanger, don't explain that until 2/3 episodes later and leave that episode with a cliff hanger. Repeat Ad Nauseum.

It's pretty annoying and a cheap trick used by the TV executives to keep you glued into it. 

If it carries on much longer I'm going to wait till the whole season's out and binge watch it.

I think given the way the story is going to turn we will see a return to more coherent episodes in the second half of the season where everyone is focused on one big story rather than a small one of their own as it is now.

lloyd

I hope so, it's lost it's way a bit for me. I'm not desperate for the next one like I was with the others to be honest-i hope it picks up again as it's been the best thing on TV for a long time.

EricTheWeary

Well, I enjoyed it you moaning minnies. |) I think there is some clever writing going on.

EricTheWeary

Oh and 'walk it off' hysterical )

Moltisanti

the first 3 episodes were very strong, and it has calmed down a bit now - however if Game of Thrones has taught us anything it's that slow mid season episodes = big finale.

the general consensus is that the innards you saw being eaten on top of Glenn belonged to Nicolas as he fell on top of him, Glenn managed to wriggle under the dumpster he was standing on and presumably was covered in so much gunk, that his "alive" smell was masked and he was left uneaten.

If you are unaware that the Walking Dead stories come mostly from the comic book of the same name, a MAJOR character is about to be introduced in the next few episodes, and the casting for the part is very cool

Woke up this morning thinking about the Walking Dead (as Muddy Waters might have said...) and my money is it's the couple on the motorbike saying Help.
