Trailer released earlier today, needless today I'm stoked! looks like we get another black guy and some kids. Carl still thinks he's hot shit and Daryl still kicks ass.

Darryl's stoyline just got interesting the last episode he was featured in too, it's not like its been exciting the whole season..

That episode with Darryl and the blonde in that shithole moonshine factory? Fucking garbage..We freakin get it, Darryl had a shitty childhood with a terrible father. You don't need to continue pounding that backstory down our freaking throats

Dude you are clueless..they have beaten that storyline about Darryl's upbringing into the ground. They mentioned it many times when they found the moonshine shack - darryl talked about how he grew up in a place like that, they talked about how they all got blasted off it when they were kids and they almost killed each other cause of some stupid shit argument with a dumb redneck. They've brought it up in episodes past talking about how Darryl's father use to beat him and Merle would take the beating instead to save his little brother. I love darryl and think he is the best character in the show as do most people, the writers of the show seem to have picked up on this and needlessly overbuilt his character into such an abused, battered soul that it's to the point of ridiculousness. WE GET IT, he had a shitty life growing up.

So much was thrown at us in season 2? Like when they sat on their thumbs at the farm for the entire season because the show ran out of money for filming?

Roasting up some good meat? In a fire the size of a neighborhood?

They don't just bring it up multiple times an episode..entire episodes revolve around the same god damn backstory that they keep shoving down our throats. Instead of allowing the viewer to make conclusions on their own, it's like the writers think they have to hold our hands and point at Daryl crying so we grasp that he had a shitty upbringing. This is just one blatantly obvious example of how shitty some of the writers are on the show. Like gato said there are thousands of other possibilities to write about, yet this show dumbs it wayyyy down. It's no surprise the writers in the first season either are no longer with the shower or have very limited power. To your point Carrol's character has progressed nicely, I just wish her freakin hair would grow out.

Why would you have to see the fire? You can hopefully use a little deductive reasoning, the smoke cloud was massive every time they showed it, clearly isn't some campfire a bunch of cannibals sittin around singing kumbaya...

I'm gonna spend time outside on sunday at 9pm? haha you are in the minority here defending the show...

Some of you are waaaaaayy to hyper-critical of this show. Like I mentioned above, I'm (and so should most people) am not looking for this show to be another Breaking Bad or True Detective cause it won't be. I watch this show to see zombies get killed and people survive, which is what they have been doing pretty consistently.

Also unlike many shows, this one kills off a lot of characters you start to get used to which I think is great. Shit they even throw in some foreshadowing (aka last ep. when Carol told the younger sister she was "too nice" which is also what she said got her daughter killed)which you can pick up on to determine whose gonna die when.

This is a show to appeal to the masses, quit acting like it has to be the defining show of our generation...

Once Carol said that her daughter "didn't have a mean bone in her body" then literally in the next cut scene she said that about the little sister I had a strong feeling she was gonna die.

That last episode for Carol was like her losing her daughter all over again.

eh idk. It def. makes sense but on the other hand there were quite a few "charred" zombies that somehow made it away from the fire. I think there is a possibility someone or a group was trying to burn a pile of zombies. Both ideas seem pretty plausible but that would be pretty cool if you are right and would follow the theme of characters just missing each other.

I thought it was because when they left the burning house there were a bunch of zombies that were coming out of the trees. So I just assumed that group of walkers were that same group that came out of the trees.

It's a solid idea, and like I said it would follow the theme of the main characters just missing each other. You're probably right.

I could tell from previous episodes that Lizzie had an underlying mental issue, so seeing it come out the way it did, killing her own sister to prove zombies had some sort of soul was very intense. And then to turn that into having to off her - allowing Carol to admit the truth to Tyrese and let him understand her actions, was great play on the episode. I'm really glad Carol is back - she is one of my favorite characters.

She was way too excited to see them, cannibal for sure...

Episode was good IMO. I liked how they brought Maggie and Glenn together. I think the Daryl group will be fun to watch meet up with the Rick group. Now that we know they have been tracking them.

I think people will die next episode.




Also TWD FB posted this a few mins ago, sneak peak of next weeks episode.

Just a whole lot of meh..not a bad episode, but not what you would except the episode before a season finale. It didn't build any really suspense or excitement

Darryl's new group was interesting with their revised rules of living in the post zombie apocalypse. Reminded me of when a 14 year old yells 'shotgun' to get the front seat of a car. It would have been great if Darryl just ripped the arrow out of the guys head instead of pussy footing around with the blanket

The entire michonne/carl segment was absolutely awful

The one redeeming character outside of Darryl's group was kenny power's twin brother. The eloquent redneck scientist is great role for the show and he plays if pretty damn good

I thought he was gonna put the blanket down then grab the arrow.

The one thing they did build was that Daryl's group is hunting Rick's group. And we really know nothing about Terminus.



"Kenny Powers twin brother" made me laugh. Pretty good description of that guy.

i thought it was a decent episode. although not quite what i would expect from the second to last episode of the season. i'm not exactly hanging off of the edge of my seat with anticipation. i'm glad they finally wrapped some things up....like the whole glenn & maggie drama. and i'm glad we've reached terminus before the last few seconds of the last episode...even though we probably won't see/learn anything about the place until next season as they focus on the few remaining stragglers.

one thing i do hate about this show is all of the fucking commercials. maybe watching most of my tv online has spoiled me, but it seems that there's a commercial break every 7-10 minutes. holy fuck it's too much!

ahhh good point, that was actually a really important part of the story that I just glossed over

It was also important to note that the lead of that rag-tag group stated only one guy in their group caught a partial look at rick so maybe it will come down to darryl putting 2 and 2 together and killing the one guy that can ID rick?

The commercials are absolutely terrible. I've resorted to recording walking dead and watching cosmos real time. Then starting walking dead at 10 and skipping commercials...makes it much more tolerable

So that's a metaphor for terminus?

Didn't read the comic books but cannibals would be sweet...kinda reminds me of the road. I'm also glad we have a macro-plot with getting this half-retard half-scientist guy to Washington to fix all this.

SPOILERS SPOILERS HAS COMIC BOOK INFO


my theory is that terminus is the cannibal haven, terminus means final end, and thus it would be a "final end" for all who ended up there and that mary chick seemed mad skeevy.

the cannibals from the comic book have been turned into daryls group and the cannibals turned over to that town they were going to in the comics which has become terminus

How long would it take to read through the comic books?

As someone who watches the show, do you think it'd be entertaining or is it going to be repetitive?

Pretty worth it, you'll get past the prison fairly quickly and even that plays out quite differently in the comics. The whole point of the series was to make it different from the comics so that people who'd read them wouldn't know what was happening in the show. There will probably be some more things that tie in but for the most part I feel they are 2 different storyies now.

Either they visit that next episode or they flash it right at the end and make us wait. If they show her get taken in the beginning when it shows what's already happened on TWD... then they will show us.
