TV: The Walking Dead & Fear the Walking Dead [TWD Universe]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Same here, Marla. I really enjoyed a closer look at Michonne's past. I guess that's at least on benny of a different group each episode - we get to know them better. But, I'm definitely hoping they reunite quickly.

[Marla]

(view spoiler)[I'm glad Michonne found Rick and Carl there was too much testosterone and they needed a strong female to sort them out! :D It was good to get to know her better, so were those the original 2 zombie pets that she had? Her husband & friend?/brother?

Is the baby alive?! I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to have a baby on the run, especially if you couldn't just nurse her. Who would have Judith? Or is she gone :( (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(view spoiler)[I agree :) Yeah, I think that was her baby daddy and either his friend or her brother. You could tell when they were killed (finally) when they "went" with the Gov that they must'a had some sort of connection in her pre-apocalypse life. I also wondered if she'd had a child at some point b/c of how she acted around baby Judith.

I think Judith is probably alive and either on the bus or where ever those other young girls went. One or two when off with Tyreese, but what about the other? Dunno. I'm sure we'll find out though, I doubt they'd leave her life/death a question into the next season. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

I agree. Esp about Michonne

[Lis]

I'm still a few seasons back so I can't chat on the premier last night... But thought it was funny that WD's viewer ratings topped the Olympics and the Beatles special... Zombies got the Gold last night...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D Go WD!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Anyone else wonder why no one ever thinks to CLIMB A TREE? If you can scurry up there before they notice, you're set until the horde passes.

Re: Darryl (view spoiler)[ Damn! No doubt they'll have him join the rowdy chaos clan when he should kill them in their sleep and get ta steppin'. :/ (hide spoiler)]

Not a fan of the split group episodes, but there have been some sweet walker swarm scenes in several of them.

What's everything thinking about sanctuary (view spoiler)[ in Terminus? Think everyone will catch up there? They'll probably end the season with some/most/all arriving there. Ya think? (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

LOL, I said the same thing about sleeping in the trees or climb a tree when a hoard comes! In , I liked the idea of tree houses.

I don't see Daryl staying with the band of boys for long. They don't seem like the type to go to a sanctuary.

I don't like the split group. I hope they all meet up in Terminus. (view spoiler)[I'm expecting it to be another Woodbury, but maybe it will be better, more like the city. (hide spoiler)]

I am not feeling the new couples emerging. (view spoiler)[Bob and Tasha and Daryl and Amy are just not as good as Glen and Maggie. Though, I was never fond of Lori. And Andrea's taste in men was less than ideal. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Tree houses would be awesome! I told DH to make a mental note to raid a telephone company for those spike shoes they use for climbing telephone poles. LOL! As long as the walkers don't see you though. Otherwise, you could be stuck up there for a while. Unless ... you could build a bunch -- like in Robin Hood (the Kevin Costner one) -- and zip line from one to the other quickly. LOL! O' the possibilities!

(view spoiler)[
I hope Darryl doesn't stick with them. I really don't like it when new characters are added. I don't care if Tasha and Bob get eaten/killed. I REALLY don't want Darryl and Amy (that's the little sis, yah?) to get together. NO. no. no. Not that D doesn't deserve some happiness, but she seems more like a little sister type not girl friend material. She can hook up with Carl. LOL! Actually, I always thought Darryl and Carol (is that her name? I'm so bad with names. The pixie cut chick that killed Tyreese's GF.) would get together at some point. Lori - bleh! Was so happy she died. (mean, but honest) I loved Andrea until she got alien napped and turned into the gov's girl. Then, she was TSTL in her final ep and, IMO, got what she deserved. (again, mean, yes, but she really could'a gotten outta that chair sooner, killed that dude and lived ... but, no. So, buh-bye.) (hide spoiler)]

>:)

[Marla]

Steph :D
(view spoiler)[ In the 1st graphic novel - I only read the first one - Carol and Tyreese are a thing. I did think that Daryl & Carol would hook up, until she went crazy. Carl and Amy should get together. Carl is growing up so much, it may happen sooner than we expect. You're right, I did like Andrea in the beginning, remember when she killed her sister - WOW. I think that is the warning that you are going to die, if you start flaking out. Except for Daryl, Carl and Glen - they are not allowed to die, but Rick just doesn't do it for me, but since he's the main character, I think he won't be going anywhere.

Your mean but honest comments are sooo true! (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D

Wow. I haven't read the GN, so I didn't know that. I'm not sure what I think about that being a relationship on the show. Ya think, from last night's ep, it's heading it in that direction?

Speaking of last night's ep, what'd ya think of (view spoiler)[crazy Lizzy? At first I thought she'd slit her wrists. Killing her sister to have a walker friend? Didn't expect that. Twisted sister from the start though, so I guess I should'a expected just about anything from her.

I'm glad Tyreese forgave Carol. I think his reaction might'a been different if they hadn't just lived through Lizzy's full-blown meltdown. He knows she's one that will do what needs to be done and is best for the majority. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Last night...SHOCKING! (view spoiler)[I knew Lizzy was crazy, but I did not expect her to kill Mika! I thought a Walker would get her when she was refusing to kill it. Mika was so sweet, so I was quite devastated. That was totally messed up!!! I knew Carol would put her down like the sick puppy she was.

I totally agree, Tyreese might not have reacted the same if it wasn't for Carol mercy killing Lizzy. And obviously they need to keep moving because you can't stay in the house after all that.

What are they feeding Judith? My older daughter was colicky and cried all the time and I cringe when I think of having a baby on the road.

Did you hear Lizzy say she was about to get to Judith next? Twisted sister for sure!

I knew that she was the one that dissected the rat, and by extension was feeding the walkers at the fence. How could they not see how messed up that girl was? All you had to do was look at her eyes! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, as twisted as we (audience) could see that she was, I didn't expect her kill Mika. I did expect her to let a walker bite her at some point.

There looked to be baby food at that house, but not sure what they're feeding her. Notice how they don't really show that at all.

I did! CraZy!

True. I was surprised when Carol was upset b/c "she didn't see it". Huh? Really? Seemed obvious to many, including Mika. Guess maybe they didn't want to see it? (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Well, I thought this season had been sort of uneventful, but this episode was anything but boring!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Same. At least this "2nd half". Anxious now that we're down to the last two for the season. It's always over so quickly. Wish they'd have longer seasons.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Finale is coming up on Sunday. What are your predictions about Terminus? (view spoiler)[ I think Ms. Tasha Yar is running a cannibal camp. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Still holding to my prediction. I was kinda bummed by the finale. I wanted more. I was happy about some things (view spoiler)[most of the gang is back together; Daryl's back and the claimers are gone - Go Rick! (hide spoiler)], but after waiting for that, I wanted more of it. Sigh. Now we wait until the fall.

Who saw it and what'd ya think?

[Marla]

Terminus - (view spoiler)[I called cannibal camp too. Ala The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

Maybe Carol and Tyreese will save them. Where oh where is Beth? Yes, glad that Daryl's gang is gone...claimers...LOL (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

*high 5* :D Wonder if we're right. Got awhile before we find out.

Yeah, (view spoiler)[where is Beth? Hopefully she's in a safe spot with someone who thought they were saving her. But, what are the chances of that? Small, probably. Poor Daryl if something bad happens to her before they find her/she finds them.

Hubby said the same - Carol & Tyreese to the rescue. LOL! (hide spoiler)]

[Jeann (Happy Indulgence)]

I thought the finale was brilliant, the amount of tension and thrills that it delivered was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and I didn't know how the tides were going to turn at any time.

(view spoiler)[Beth got kidnapped but I'm thinking hers will be a big story arch for next Season. Definitely Carol & Tyreese to the rescue! (hide spoiler)]

There were some super creepy scenes in this episode, like the human bones and the candle scene *shudders*

And Rick was kickass! I'm so glad the old rick is back.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

There were some super creepy scenes in this episode, like the human bones and the candle scene *shudders*

Hubby spotted that and hollered out, "Bones!" (LOL!) when they ran by, (view spoiler)[which made me think I was on the right track (haha no pun intended) thinking they were walking into a cannibalism camp. (hide spoiler)]

[Jeann (Happy Indulgence)]

Yeah, we suspected when they walked up Terminus and there was that woman with the creepy smile and BIG GRILL

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Right?! LOL!

(view spoiler)[Look out! Tasha Yar wants to make a meal outta you!

Speaking of ... I was glad that none of the gang actually ate the food they were handed. (hide spoiler)]

[Julianne]

I have a theory about Beth...
(view spoiler)[When the gang is running just before they pass the bones you can hear muffled sounds of people yelling for help and in the background you see two large containers like the one that the gang was forced into. I think Beth is in one of those containers. I heard the yelling the first time I watched it but didn't notice the containers until I rewatched it with my son...knowing that the group was being help in a similar one. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yep! Could be. (view spoiler)[We heard the screams too, but I didn't think that maybe Beth might be among those held there.

Maybe they (the Termites) trek outside of the gates for munchies. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Like the theory about Beth. (view spoiler)[We heard the yells coming from the container. My daughter wanted them to stop to let the container people out while they were running through the camp.

Yeah, if the Termites were looking for supplies and came across someone who looked tasty, they might pick them up.

I am counting on Carol and Tyreese to the rescue!

The bones were creepy, but what was up with the candles? LOL, I was happy that the gang didn't eat any of the meat too. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(view spoiler)[ You'd think they would'a realized they were being corralled. I mean the Termites shooting at them weren't hitting them when they could've. But, I guess when you're running for your life it's hard to stop and examine every little thing.

The candle room was probably their way of paying respect to those they ate. Their way of trying to feel better about what they're doing. Or it could just be a memorial room for those they've lost. I'm looking forward to finding out next season. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I was yelling at them not to go where they were herding them, but to no avail.

I wonder if we are going to be guests of this place for very long. I'm just glad that the wandering around alone is over and they are mostly together again.

I can only stand one season in one place, but I hate them wandering around, especially separated. If they escape with the guy who needs to go to Washington, they could help take him. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(view spoiler)[ I'm glad most are together again too. Wandering separately is not my favorite, but it was nice getting to know them a bit more over the past 1/2 season. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Agree Steph!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

AMC replayed all seasons/eps of TWD over the holiday weekend ~ "Dead, White & Blue". We have a DVR full of walkers! :D We've watched quite a bit so far, but switched to NetFlix for some b/c we got tired of fast forwarding through commercials.

I'd forgotten just how much I disliked Lori. >:p

If you'd like some spoilery news on the upcoming season, here are some articles. I haven't read them, so I can't say how big or small any spoilers may be. You've been warned. ;)

[Daffodil]

Found this hilarious video on Youtube. I couldn't believe how many valid comparisons there were between Toy Story and Walking Dead.

Enjoy!

[Danielle Book Boss]

Steph, I watched some of those episodes and yeah I forgot how much I couldn't stand her too lol

[Marla]

@Daffodil - LOVE it! Thanks for the vid link.

@Steph & Danielle - I think that when they are going to kill someone we like off, they start making us not like them...(view spoiler)[Lori became much more annoying, Andrea became an indecisive traitor, Dale became too preachy, Lizzie was scary...only Hershel and Mika were too sweet and cool to be killed off. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I loved that video, Daffodil. Too funny!

LOL Danielle! Right?! Ugh. She drove me nuts each week.

Very true, Marla. I hadn't really thought about it like that, but I honestly don't miss many of those we've lost so far. Gettin' down to the don't-kill-or-else bunch now though. Eek! I wouldn't mind if (view spoiler)[ any of the new bunch, esp that chick that wandered along with Glenn for a bit last season - can't remember her name, but I don't like her. The one from the Gov's bunch.

I hadn't realized, but during TWD marathon they mentioned that only 5 of the original/first season bunch are still alive. Rick, Carl, Carol, Daryl, and Glenn - I think. Hate to think about any of them getting killed off, if any. Although ... I'm not sure how much I'd miss Carl. >:) (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

@Steph - LOL! (view spoiler)[Of that 5, I would miss Carol, Rick then Carl...but don't you dare kill off Daryl or Glenn! The actor who played Rick said if they kill him off, he refuses to leave, they will have to call security and drag him off the set. I was worried for Rick, cuz he was getting really irritating for a while there. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D (view spoiler)[I think I'd miss all of the first 5, except Carl. He's growin' up quick though, so maybe I'll like him a bit more in future seasons.

I saw that bit. I think, of them all, he'll probably last longer. Maybe not necessarily lostEST, but we'll see. Yeah, they'll have hell to pay if they kill off Daryl. Glenn has really grown on me since S02. Definitely don't wanna see him go anywhere.

And, can I just say HALLE-F*CKIN-LUJAH they are all back together again?! Seriously, I know those we're-all-separated shows give us a "deeper look inside each character", but bleh! I don't care for it at all. >;) (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

:D (view spoiler)[ I totally agree and thank goodness that they are all together again, but locked in a container looks kind of bleak. Oh, wait, Tyreese and Carol aren't with them yet. I think Judith is going to save them all! (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! (view spoiler)[Nope. Carol, Tyreese and Judith are still on their way. And, Beth is still MIA. But, I believe she's still alive. I'm not sure if they'll find here already there or if some other group picked her up. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

IMDB has the S05 trailer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1520211/). Click "Watch Trailer" on TWD page.

[Daffodil]

The Nerdist has a deleted ending for The Walking Dead season 4!

Warning spoilers in article:

Rick's scene

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Are ya watching? Let's chat!
E01: (view spoiler)[
Called it! Knew they were cannibals. Eewwww!

The trough scene was crazy!

I wish Carol had seen/grabbed Michonne's sword when she grabbed Rick's watch and Daryl's crossbow. Miss seeing her with it.

I'm glad they didn't have them spend too much time in Terminus. They're on the road again.
(hide spoiler)]

E02: (view spoiler)[
What'd ya think of the "BobBQ"? Did you catch something Gareth said that sounded as if Bob had made some sort of deal with him while they were in Terminus? Bob was at the end of the trough kill line-up and "they weren't going to kill him...", which is ironic now that he's dinner. Hmmm.

I thought for sure Bob had been bitten by a walker while they were in the mucky muck Food Bank basement and he was dying. Guess not. Stupid that they didn't stab those last 3 walkers though. Why push them down instead? Dumb! They were lucky no one was bit.

This whole "We're going to D.C." rant is buggin' the sh*t outta me! By this point, if they didn't ask me/us to go along with them for support/help/companionship, I'd be yellin', "Well, git the f*ck on then!" Seriously, it's not like Rick's gang is holding them back. If they'd gone on their own way in the first place, they wouldn't have ended up in Terminus. Now that Rick's made the decision to go with, hopefully they'll stop talking and start doing. Sheesh. LOL! >:)
(hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Hey Steph...of course I'm watching and I'd love to chat!

Ep1: (view spoiler)[We did call it. Oh, man, that trough scene was unbelievable!! I totally agree about the sword! I'm hoping Gareth brought it with him and when they kill him, Michonne can have it back :D

Did you see that mean guy try to hurt Judith?! I was so angry. I am not a fan of meek Tyreese.

Okay, the explosion was amazing! Cool effects this year...

The scene where everyone was reunited was so cool. Except I wondered about Maggie's sister? But the wait is almost over. (hide spoiler)]

Ep2: (view spoiler)[No, I didn't hear that between Gareth and Bob. Well, I always wondered how Bob was always the sole survivor.

I'm thinking Bob was bit and they are in for a surprise when they lift his other pants leg. People eating zombies would be a switch.

Oh, I knew eventually they would go to DC, but seriously, I was so go...but it sounds like the CDC all over again.

That military guy is getting on my nerves, I'm glad Rick is Back and we don't have to listen to the military guy try to lead the group.

I'm glad all the secrets are out in the open. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay! Hi, Marla! :D

Ep1: (view spoiler)[
LOL! Yes! Kill Gareth. Get sword. Better yet, kill Gareth WITH sword! :D

I know, right?! Bastard! Yeah, I get Tyreese is trying to maintain his humanity, but damn dude, sometimes ya just gotta kill'um and move on.

I loved that too, but come on, she hit that perfectly by just randomly propping up the rifle without aiming. Nah. But, BOOOOOM! Nice! :D

Together again! Yay! I was surprised they didn't show Daryl talking to Maggie about Beth. You'd think she would'a ... oh wait, she may not even know that those two split together. Still, maybe the who/what/where catch-up between those that were apart will happen in an upcoming ep. I'd wanna know, at the very least, if anyone had seen/hooked up with anyone else fleeing the prison. ... when they all scattered like frickin' bugs without a home ... that still bugs me. LOL! Seriously - NO backup plan besides the bus? No, "Let's all meet HERE should the Gov blow up the prison."?? WTH! Anyway, I digress. (hide spoiler)]

Ep2: (view spoiler)[Yeah, when they were snackin' on him, before he realized, Gareth said something that made us think they'd had some kinda deal. I'm wondering if it was before/after he'd hooked up with Rick's gang. Hopefully more to come on that in later eps.

Maybe he was bit. Should'a been. Dummies! Eating zombies ... ewwww! LOL!

Ugh. Me too, I'm so over that dude too. There's the door, go on with ya bad self. Bu-bye. I don't want another CDC-type ep. Aside from the 'holy crap, look at all the food and wine we have now' I didn't like it as much. Although, I did like that we learned some about the virus. But, wifey was still alive then and there was all that love triangle drama going on, so maybe that's what turned me off about it. :)

Me too! Secrets = trouble, for sure!

Speaking of, what do you think about Tyreese asking Carol not to tell everyone about the girls? I don't see the big deal, but hope she doesn't lie if asked. Although, I don't think Carol would, she's not really the lyin' type. More like the 'it hurts, but it's the truth, suck it up and deal with it' kinda gal. :D (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Ep 2: (view spoiler)[ I do not like Tyreese asking Carol to keep a secret from the group. I could see not announcing it, but if anyone asks, I wouldn't lie. These people literally have your back, you want them to trust you, no lies.

Again relates to the woosy Tyreese. Come on, man up!

I know that Daryl had to go after Beth, but how are they going to meet up with the gang?! And we just got reunited.

So it's looking like Rick may have been right and they should've gone back and killed off all the Terminus survivors.
(hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Ep 3: (view spoiler)[ WE knew it! Bob is bit! But I'm surprised it was on his shoulder, I thought it would be his leg. So, can't wait to see what happens when you eat tainted meat.

That church scene was really intense, but I don't think they had a choice. My hubby knew that it was a trap.

Glen and Maggie :( Daryl :D (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

We haven't watched Ep3 yet. So, I'll share thoughts on that one later this week. I am resisting clicking on your spoiler. :)

Ep2: (view spoiler)[
Ditto! I wouldn't blurt it, but definitely wouldn't lie if asked.

Right?! I was thinking the same. Too bad they don't have walkie talkies or something. I would've run off after the car too, but Oops! No one knows where we went.

Yeah, I couldn't believe no one else jumped in and agreed with his kill-um-all idea. No one rebelled against the idea when he said it in that meat locker. Well, he'll definitely have an 'I told ya so' moment sooner rather than later, I'm sure. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Another great episode...can't wait to hear your thoughts, Steph.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ep3: (view spoiler)[ Yep! Definitely thought it'd be on his leg. Guess they put it on his shoulder so it was more believable that they didn't see it before chowing on him? He didn't go under water, not that I saw, but whatever. He's dead now. Guess we won't find out what happens when you eat zombie meat since they're all dead too now.

I was glad they killed them all. Certainly couldn't trust them to never hunt them again or anyone else for that matter. And, yeah, we were cursing them for not thinking Gareth and gang would be coming to the church, esp after they knew they were being watched. But, phew, they did. Loved it when they snuck up on Gareth and gang. Awesome! And, better still, Michonne has her sword again! Yay!

Glen & Maggie :( Hated that they were now going to be separated again. Can't stand that. Daryl's back! Yay! Do you think he has Carol and Beth with him or just Carol or just Beth or someone else entirely? LOL! I can't wait to find out! (hide spoiler)]

[hIpnoticraQs]

Steph wrote: "Ep3: Yep! Definitely thought it'd be on his leg. Guess they put it on his shoulder so it was more believable that they didn't see it before chowing on him? He didn't go under water, not that I ..." I thought this episode was better than the first.
