The Walking Dead
 

A return to the gory days it seems but failed to adequately explain the Sanctuary. I'm guessing that'll be spread through the next few episodes but what an anti-climatic ending, in my opinion Morgan didn't play a big enough part in previous episodes for it to be a 'wow' moment.

Re: The Walking Dead season 5
 

That was freakin' amazing.

Based off the series trailer,

Obviously they must tie up with that Gareth again somewhere along the line and they either go to DC or back to Atlanta, as there is a cityscape in the trailer.

Tbh if Morgan has a proper role, it'll be like having a new character as he's only been in about 3-4 eps.

But for zombie killing mayhem that episode was hard to beat.

Enjoyed the opening 10 minutes or so, pretty graphic and well executed (pun intended) then it settled down into its usual.

This TV show has moments of genius.

Re: The Walking Dead season 5
 

another crackin episode, really happy with the way this has started,

Re: The Walking Dead season 5
 

If they keep giving us endings like that to each episode then this series will be much better than the last.

Re: The Walking Dead season 5
 

3 for 3, the great start continues.

I'm a little confused though because in the Series 5 trailer there was a scene where Gareth says "let's go to DC and cure this thing"

I haven't seen that scene yet, and as seen a Rick just machete'd him, looks like we wont.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

It's Baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Just awful. I can't stand episodes with a disjointed storyline, flashforwards, flashbacks, slow-mo flickering camera work etc.

I reckon they'd just hired some pretentious writer fresh out of university who wanted to make it look 'artistic' but failed miserably. Why they can't just do a 'normal' episode is beyond me.

Not watched it yet, doesn't bode well by the sounds of it.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree it was disjointed to begin with but the arty, flashback way it was filmed all made sense by the end of the ep. An absolute brilliant bit of telly in my opinion. In fact one of the best eps ever.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I don't think that it was very disjointed. It was just that bit at the start before the credits that turned out to be after the main chunk, it's not like it was jumping all over the place all the way through.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

The way they used slow-mo with the camera jumping about, that was totally unnecessary and ruined the flow of the episode. OK he went in to the house, got bitten and suffered delirium - pretty straightforward but they had to spoil it like that. The show is starting to get too pretentious for its own good.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

....I agree up to a point before this episode, case being the "walkers" aren't that dangerous and everyone seemed to be relaxed around them, turning their backs to them etc

Without spoiling it for those that haven't seen this yet, I think this episode changed the pretentious air that the series seem to have developed. Yes, other people are dangerous, the main theme of the show, but so are the flesh eating zombies! Something this episode has now reminded everyone about and done it in style.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

An interesting end to a very turgid episode.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

....yep, but the latest ep is back on form.

Now into the next phase of the series after the last few treading water episodes. Will it all end well and everyone lives happily ever after?.... it's the end of the series if that's the case.

Really enjoyed the latest ep.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I had grown tired of Russ's criticisms, but I have to say that was a poor episode. I know they can't all be good but that was dull, dull, dull.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Got to agree. Massive fan of the show but starting to get a little bored.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

It's been crap for ages.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

It will get better.


How do you get the US time line (i.e watching it before UK time line).

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I have to agree :(

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Torrents, or other methods of obtaining the uploaded US episodes.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I have to disagree here with the comments about the last episode, I thought it was good!

Where the episodes are clearly filler for the next stage in the show, then I agree it gets boring, ie some of the eps before we got to the town. But I think we're now in a interesting stage again and getting some real story telling.

The show is leading us down the path that Rick and his "family" might revolt against the town at some point, something Rick himself did warn off in his video "interview." But, I think there are a few clear clues it may go the other way and the first clue was just before they entered the town.

I am going to call this town Stepford from now on....

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Just got around to watching last Monday's episode.

Much much better, and a level of gore not seen for some time.

Happier now.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Daryls chain whip triple walker kill was definitely the highlight of the season finale!

Re: The Walking Dead
 

That and the look on rick's face at the end

Re: The Walking Dead
 

A good ending to the series and sets things up nicely for the next.

I wonder how long it will take before the new baddies find the town?

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Fear the walking dead.

New series that catalogues the time that Rick was asleep.

http://www.melty.com/fear-the-walkin...led-a1191.html

Looks good.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Not happy that this is on BT only, however I managed to watch the first episode last night, without having to sign up for anything, after trawling through various nefarious sites.

It was OK, a slow starter but I assume it will have to be. I'll try and watch the second episode tonight.

If anyone knows any decent sites that you don't have to sign up for, please PM me.

Cheers

Re: The Walking Dead
 

There are rumours he's not actually dead, it's possible he landed under the body I guess and the walkers ate that but wow.....what an episode, that and the previous one.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

It will annoy me if he isn't dead. The amount of walkers there surrounding him, there should be no way he can survive.

This season has been excellent so far

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Then again would it be any worse than in the first season when they smeared themselves in blood and guts thereby allowing them to go 'unseen' amongst the walkers? It could happen if they suggested he used something similar although it would be absurd.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

May be he climbs under, or into the dumpster.

I don't think we'll find out until Part 2 of the season.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

The Walking Dead Renewed for Season 7.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Called it :)

Re: The Walking Dead
 

For those that don't know, the zombies are on their Christmas break now (eating mince pies??) and will return on the 14th February.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Looks like the next ep is gonna be a good one, arriving in all good "inboxes" on Monday.:)

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Oh yeah..... it's back on fine form.:D

Full blown kick ass from everyone in this ep.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Oh yes :D

I felt some episodes recently (and especially last season) had lost their way a bit but wow what an ep that was.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Most of our tv is boring reality rubbish, celebrity chefs, soaps etc Tedious, tedious.

The last two eps of Game of Thrones and the last and newest ep of Walking Dead do not go into that category....

Can't use a swear word as the filter will block it, so, BLOODY HELL

That was rather good.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Big fan of the Walking Dead but wasn't too keen on tonights episode. It felt like an hour of hyping up how bad Negan is. The show is usually great for story telling and drama but what I just watched felt like over the top violence for the sake of it. I honestly thought Maggie was going to have a miscarriage just to round things off. Network television snuff.

If this is the kind of stuff we'll be seeing from the show going forward it doesn't float my boat. I'm not going to stop watching over 1 episode but I'm already getting that feeling watching it is becoming a burden.

Get the feeling this whole Negan storyline will be dragged out over the next 2 or 3 seasons. It doesn't feel like I'm going to find out the answers to 2 of my main questions about the show anytime soon. What caused the outbreak and what kind of state is the rest of the world in?

Re: The Walking Dead
 

They don't intend on answering the first question. It would be interesting to see the state of the rest of the world though.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

My issue wasn't the violence, I was expecting that, but the actor playing Negan.

He's been in two shows I've watched over recent years, The Good Wife and Extant and I felt he was too high profile for the role. Apart from that, all good.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

He wont last that long, the governor only lasted 1.5.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I hope so. Never been a big fan of the antagonists in the show. I've never found myself sitting watching thinking I hate this character and I can't wait for them to get their comeuppance. I find them an inconvenience which I endure in the hope the show picks up the pace and starts to answer the big questions and draws to a conclusion.

I'm a massive fan of the zombie genre. As most zombie movie fans will know you very rarely get to know what caused the outbreak and what happens in the long term on a global scale. 28 Days Later did a decent job but not really a zombie movie. I've been waiting, frustratedly, for nearly 30 years since watching Romero's Dead trilogy for this to be properly addressed. I'm still holding out hope I'm going to get that with the Walking Dead.

That's why I get frustrated when a new "bad guy" worse than the one before gets introduced. I know their going to move away from the zombies as the main feature for a couple of seasons whilst the next big conflict plays out. The shows been on the air for nearly 7 years. Apart from character development, and a rotation of cast, I'm not sure we're really that much further forward in terms of the bigger picture.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

the thing which is bugging me is the "realism" factor which I have mentioned many a time before. The season finale did my head in because there is no way that ambush would have worked without the bad guys being able to communicate with one another over distance and coordinate tactics.
There were several times in 7x01 where Rick easily had the upper hand with the axe and Neegan had his back to him (or when they were sitting at the table) and Rick could have easily in a split second had him. If the rest of the bad guys are so subservient that they let Neegan rule with impunity then they would have accepted Rick as the new alpha male.
I absolutely love TWD but if they are going to start doing unrealistic things with the story line (especially to set it aside from FTWD) then I'll stop watching it. They have had 6 great season and I am not going to watch it go down hill now.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Aren't we getting a CGI/puppet tiger soon? Good grief......

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I loved 7x02. Hopefully a dose of the real world and some positivity will snap Rick & co out of it

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Carol nicking the chocolate was a much needed spot of humour.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I think Ezekiel was quite entertaining, obviously the actor was a fan of "coming to America ".

The tiger is a great idea.

In regards to last night, I don't know if they will do a back story but surely Negan must be ex-CIA or special forces, or some one that is trained in mentally breaking people.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree and would love to see it, even if it isn't a full episode and they blend some flashbacks into the current story line of what is happening in a particular episode (like they did with Lost).


I am hoping that Daryl half turns to the dark side and joins Neegan for a while. We all think he is properly bad and then when Neegan goes after Rick & co they start pasting all the minor people in Alexandria and then just as they get to Rick and the major characters Daryl appears out of the blue and grinds Neegan into a pulp.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

another stupid episode

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I was hoping this was going to happen at some point. A crossover is planned and it would be great if they could do it with the entire cast of both series:

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I am of two minds about the pilot. I liked the premise of it and it is great to see everyone going on the attack and hopefully wrapping up the Neegan story line. The one thing which really bugged me is how focused it was and unrealistic and I can only hope they make it right in 8x02. Where are all the saviours, the extra dudes they brought in at the end of the finale and all the salve workers he has? I want to see the zombies working their way through the complex finishing everyone off, especially Simon and Eugene.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Michonne is leaving in season 10 which is a bummer because I love watching her do her Samurai thing. Her departure is in addition to Rick and Maggie which we have yet to see the impact of yet and I wonder how the show can survive 3 huge characters leaving because even if you bring new characters in it takes time for them to establish themselves and bring some depth. I wouldn't be surprised if other members of the cast have second thoughts and maybe it is time to think about ending the series after 10 years.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I remembered what happened to Rick at the end of the last episode and the cemetery scene but I forgot all the other side stories that were going on and most importantly Judith. I think she is absolutely fantastic and is my favourite character out of all the tv series I watch atm.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

It's it just me but I'm finding it hard to like season 9 so far it's just not pulling me in...I'm hoping it's going to get better but it's so damn slow and the remaining characters just don't seem to stand out

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I love season 9, I think it is my favourite season after 1 and 2. The last couple of seasons especially have done my nut in and I was ready to stop watching the show but they have turned it around big time and the problems they are facing now are more grounded and realistic. I think Judith is absolutely fantastic and I love how the rest of the characters have developed due to the time jumps. I thought the whispering mum was going to be another annoying OTT Neegan-type bady but I am glad they have already taken her down a notch by drawing all the walkers into her camp. I have never touched the comics so I don't know what is going to happen but I am really hoping things get so bad that they need to let Neegan out and use him for a bit of consultation on how to deal with them. It will be good to see him kicking ass for the good guys.

I am really enjoying this season, so much so that if I had all the eps available to me now I would binge watch them all in one go.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I downloaded bluestacks then installed showbox on my pc...pretty simple to do really only thing you have to do is enable Virtualization in the bios or it doesn't run right

Re: The Walking Dead
 

:confused:

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Wrong topic ?

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I was refering to watching all the episodes. You can with showbox, not that I use it much as have subs to netflix and prime as well as a VM account. but I own all the box sets apart from season 9 of the walking dead anyway.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I’m a bit mixed.......

There’s no direction. We need to know what is going on in the wider country and world.

Apparently we won’t find out what’s going on with Rick, as he’s making several TV movies to cover his story.

Are there any cities/ civilisations left ( like in Land of the dead), is it global, have any other countries managed it better.

I’m bored of the three communities, it needs - or fear the walking dead needs - a complete direction change, or they both die after these seasons.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree where are the Tanks, flamethrowers, missile launchers, fighter jets and all the big bombs. Seems the only people left are a handfull in some grotty Back Yard of the deep south with nothing but a fart to take on all the bad guys

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree and that is why I liked season 1 of FTWD so much. Although it was based before TWD it was good to see things on a larger scale and how everyone reacted to it. I have always hoped that when they decide to end the series that the last season will involve them coming across a well defended and encapsulated city that is prospering and give us a sense of closer. Anyone who watched Falling Skies will recall that although the main group of characters were nomadic and moved from place to place, in season 3 (I think) they came across a military base which was full operational and had an established community. It would be nice to see something like that in TWD because there have got to be more people out there and at least a few government emergency bunkers that were up and running as things went down the drain.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

******* SPOILER ALERT? ********





I'm barely hanging on with this show. I think the usual Villain of the Season peaked with Negan. Now we have a podgy, deranged Sam Morton floating around with a mucky face. I don't care about her daughter, Henry, or anyone else really. And The Highwaymen galloping to the rescue? Puhlease....

Re: The Walking Dead
 

yeah I know what you mean, after everything they have been through you would think that they would pop her off at the first opportunity they had. It is unrealistic to keep letting the bad guys live and that is what does my head in with Arrow. I am letting it go at the moment though because I think they are giving it back as much as they are taking it and it was great to see some proper ass kicking last week. I would however like to know the reasoning behind No. 2 surviving a stab wound and fall down the elevator shaft.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Personally l think they need to call it quits soon with The Walking Dead.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree. The Walking Dead and FTWD were two different shows but when we had the time jump last season and another immortal bad guy they basically became the same show and you only need one.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I'm hoping they are just building the characters up with Rick gone. They need to find their own feet as we have been so used to Rick on the show that it's difficult to see the characters taking a different role. I'm sure they are building upto something I just hope it's not going to be a let down

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Sweet Jeebus, I did NOT expect that ending!!! 'Bout time they shook this snoozing show up a bit.....just....wow.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Am i missing something?

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Re: The Walking Dead
 

the next (and final season) of The Walking Dead is going old school with a full season of 24 eps and is starting early in August rather than the traditional October

https://www.imdb.com/news/ni63253266/

Re: The Walking Dead
 

About time it ends

The latest episodes have been quite slow. The Daryl and his bit of stuff filler, how useful is a penknife episode and even the Neegan backstory (best of a bad bunch) all place fillers to give us something we could have done without

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree, I watched the first two (of the extra eps) and though they were a snooze fest. I love story and character development but it is clear these are padded out season fillers. Given where what should have been the season finale left us, I was really happy when they said there would be extra eps and I was expecting them to carry on from where we left off.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

There are four Walking Dead specials airing over summer in advance of season 11 starting in August. They are origin stories for each character pre-pandemic and the air dates are as below:


· Daryl’s Story – Premieres Thursday, July 15
· Maggie’s Story – Premieres Thursday, July 22
· Negan’s Story – Premieres Thursday, July 29
· Carol’s Story – Premieres Thursday, August 5

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I thought we kinda saw Negans origin story already

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I haven't and I should do really. I watched the first of the extra eps and it was clearly a seasoning padding snooze fest episode so I didn't bother with any of the others.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Season 11 is now on its Christmas break and returns on Sunday 20th February.
