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

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D I hear ya - craziness here too. Hope you're able to get some more read time soon. I always feel off whenever I can't get enough book time.

I do, not often, but I'd love to, if you want. Where are you located? Same time zone as Cali? LOL! I thought I sensed someone checkin' me out. ;) Yeah, I tend to stick to one and read it within 1-2 days, unless I'm listening to one and reading another. I could slow it down though, if you wanna read a bit at a time and chat along the way. :D

Yeah, I'm thinking the same/similar about Rick. Not much else to be done by the looks of it.

Eh? I'm lost on that one. Remind me?

[Marla]

I'm in IL, so Central time zone (though I was born & raised in Hawaii). I've got too much going on, but maybe early next year, we can pick a book and do a buddy read.

The zombie trap (view spoiler)[ was those semi's with all the zombies in them. Daryl and that guy hid in the car and then Morgan saved them. And the wolves turned the music on inside the semis and the zombies would go back inside and they'd reset the trap. I loved how Morgan gave the map to Daryl and Rick Grimes had signed it.

The timing was bit unfortunate that Morgan arrived when Rick was taking out the porch dick doctor. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Okay, busy here too, so that sounds like a good plan. :D Just shoot me a message whenever you wanna get started.

I ❤ Hawaii! We lived on Oahu (Kaneohe, then Kailua) for 3.5 yrs and LOVED it. Which part/island?

Oh yeah, I remember now. Yeah, that seemed a little too far fetched for us too. Though I love it when we think/say those kinda things about a zombie apocalypse show. :D hehe

Yeah, bad timing, for sure. Wonder what Morgan thinks of "this" Rick.

[Marla]

Eastman (view spoiler)[ Okay, I was really annoyed the first time I saw the episode, because I just wanted to know about GLENN!!!! But when I watched it a second time, I really liked it. Eastman was very cool. It was cool how he even buried the walkers.

I was so sad when Tabitha died. Morgan was annoying me during this episode, but it was cool how Eastman healed Morgan. I was angry that Eastman got bit, why didn't he just hit the zombie instead of turning his back when he pushed Morgan out of the way?!

It again seems like whenever you leave loose ends or show mercy, something bad happens.
(hide spoiler)]

I was worried that the leader lady (sorry, forgot her name) is freaking out. I don't think she's long for the living.

Where are (view spoiler)[ Daryl, Sasha and Abraham? Why aren't they back? (hide spoiler)]

I'm glad that Rick (view spoiler)[ got back to Alexandria, but what are they going to do with all those walkers outside? Is this how they are going to leave Alexandria, the walls are compromised?
(hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Eastman (view spoiler)[ I was just frustrated they threw in an artsy backstory when GLENNNNNNNNN! Ugh! But, yeah, definitely a good backstory and one I would've enjoyed a helluva lot more had it not been for GLENNNNN!

NO clue why he turned his back on the walker - DUMB. Don't think he would've done that - felt out of character for someone who's lived so long alone.

Poor Tabitha. ;) (hide spoiler)]

Where oh where indeed! (view spoiler)[I'm sure/hopeful that Daryl at least makes it back. Sasha too, I guess, but I couldn't care less if Abraham dies. Guess they're not back yet b/c they drove 20 miles away leading the herd. Dunno though. (hide spoiler)]

Rick (view spoiler)[ Yay that he made it back. But, uh, how?! I would've liked to see how he made it outta there with that mass of walkers virtually on top of the RV. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[GLENNNNNNN! (hide spoiler)]

[Regina]

I thought it was interesting that the audience is in the same position as (view spoiler)[Meg -- its as if she was talking to us at the end. We don't get to know, we don't know and won't know probably for awhile if he is okay. (hide spoiler)]

[Regina]

Is Fear of the Walking Dead good?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Regina wrote: "I thought it was interesting that the audience is in the same position as [spoilers removed]"

That's what my husband thinks (view spoiler)[ that they'll drag us through to the finale and then, at the very last minute, reveal dead or alive. I'm fearing he'll show up as a walker. :( Nooooo! (hide spoiler)]

It took me a couple of episodes to really get into Fear, but I liked it. It's nothing like the fast (most of the time) paced TWD b/c it focuses on the family's discovery of the outbreak. I also have a really hard time accepting the writer's vision of "these people have never heard of zombies". I think it'd be better if more than a pimply HS kid realized what was happening/gonna happen. At the end of S01, I really only liked the blonde mom - can't remember her name. All others - meh. LOL! I'll definitely keep watching though - if nothing else, it offers a nice zombie fix while waiting for the next season of TWD.

[Regina]

Interesting, I am going to take a look at Fear. In TWD, they don't know about zombies either, right? That is why they all have different names -- walkers, roamers, etc. Seems silly!

Have you read blogs about the big issue on TWD? It seems to be a spoiler, but I have faith!

[Marla]

Regina wrote: "Is Fear of the Walking Dead good?"

I'm not a huge fan of FotWD. (view spoiler)[ The blond mom is cool and I like the older latino man (whose wife gets hurt). But some of the people really annoy me, though no one as much as the Preacher. ARRGGH...someone please kill him! (sorry, I digress)

But the next Fear is supposed to be on an airplane, that sounds like it would be very scary. No where to run and lots of trapped people. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Steph wrote: "Regina wrote: "I thought it was interesting that the audience is in the same position as [spoilers removed]"

That's what my husband thinks [spoilers removed]..."

Yup, Steph, that's what my hubby and I think too. (view spoiler)[ Drag it out until the end of the season, then BAM! I will be very sad if he's a walker, reminiscent of Merle. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Walkers on a plane ... terrifying!

Aw man, don't say that ... I hope that's not what they do! :(

[Marla]

You're right. I don't want that either.

We thought of more last episode scenarios: (view spoiler)[ Glenn is seen limping along road, but you're not sure if he's bitten, injured or a walker. I say you see him pinned down under the dumpster, alive but trapped, then end the season. Hubby says, Maggie finds Glenn as a zombie and hesitates to kill him and then season ends. My sister thinks that Glenn is going to somehow get away, Nick is the one on top of him getting torn up.

Glenn will just be the next miraculous survivor...like Tyreese outside that cabin surrounded by walkers, Daryl & Alexandria recruiter triggering zombie trap and getting saved by Morgan, how did Rick get away from walkers when he was in the RV?
(hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(view spoiler)[I wondered that too - HOW did Rick get away from all those walkers? Hmmm.

I'll take any of those scenarios where Glenn's not dead, bitten or a walker. ;) I wanna believe he somehow got under the dumpster while Nick got chomped. Either way, we get to the closing credits of the finale and there's still no word on his life/death and I'm gonna be screaming at the screen. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Only 2 more episodes...so hopefully we'll have some kind of closure soon.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Fingers and toes crossed for some without-a-doubt closure!

[Marla]

Oh My Gosh!!! (view spoiler)[ La la la di da...I'm so happy that Glenn is alive! And I knew they were going to have to leave Alexandria...only one season per venue.

Though I hate it when they are separated! And when will Daryl get his crossbow back?! I was disappointed that those people screwed Daryl. (hide spoiler)]

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Why merge the two shows in one thread? That can get confusing if both shows get active.

I love TWD but disliked Fear

Still have to see the mid-season finale from last night for TWD

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi Erin! I merged the two shows on one thread temporarily. If FTWD takes off and gets lots of chatter, I'll split it off to its own thread. :)

Marla!! :D
(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Glenn managed to squeeze under there! But, once he got away and started going after Enid, I kept thinking, "Great, you survived THAT, but now you're gonna get your ass shot off by a damn girl!" Thankfully that wasn't the case. Buuuut, now I'm thinking they're gonna make us pay by killing off either Glenn or Maggie in the Feb premiere. I hate to think it, much less "say" it, but that would be just like Gimple. (hide spoiler)]

Anyone else feel like the finale was a touch underwhelming? We watched The Talking Dead and I agree, stuff happened, but nothing major like I was expecting. (view spoiler)[ Until the last two seconds when that kid opened his mouth - totally saw that coming! They should'a told him to shut his eyes since they were all holding hands. They could've just pulled him along while the was humming a show tune while zoning out in his happy place - if he's still got one.

Anyone else notice how the mom (1) never stopped that record from playing (and, I'm guessing that means the entire episode took less time to occur than the Tiny Tim song did to play?) and (2) was about to get all guts-upped BEFORE saying anything to the freaked out kid? Planning to tell him after when he's screaming his head off thinking you've been gutted?

The whole thing with Carl and that kid will probably come back to bite someone in the ass. Carl's been buggin' me anyway, so I wouldn't have cried over him getting shot by the kid or chomped, had it come to that.

Morgan needs to die and soon or else he'll get someone else killed again. And, WTH Morgan?! He was okay fighting Carol to protect that Wolf? *shaking head* Gotta go.

Deanna's death wasn't all that shocking or tearful for me either. She would've just been a liability, I think. Also, saw her on TTD and she mentioned how she did the "honorable thing" by killing some walkers instead of shooting herself. Well, not really genius, b/c you're gonna be a walker soon too since you didn't shoot yourself. But, gang's gone/leaving the house anyway, so whatever. (hide spoiler)]

Anyone reading/read the comics? I can't remember. (view spoiler)[ This new group ... I hate 'um already. Should I?

Plus, why'd Daryl & gang stop for them? I woulda barreled on through and hoped for the best. They all know not to stop for dudes on bikes with guns. Come on! (hide spoiler)]

Old news, but forgot to chat about --- Daryl (view spoiler)[ lost his bow AND his bike? WTH is goin' on with this group lately? I get why he went back, was happy he did, but to lose his bow and bike -- nu-uh, not like him AT ALL. :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

I agree, keeping the shows together, because they are not on at the same season anyway.

Glenn (view spoiler)[ - we thought Glenn was going to get shot too. We said that would be just like them to save Glenn, then kill him off. (hide spoiler)]

Underwhelming ~ yeah, (view spoiler)[the Glenn episode was better, but at least they are separated in Alexandria. I thought it would end with Daryl & co. and Glenn coming to the rescue. (hide spoiler)]

Bikers (view spoiler)[~ seriously?! I figured that they were worried that they would get shot through the truck, so they had to stop. But I was yelling at them to run them down. Look at what this show does to us. I'm usually quite the pacifist. LOL (hide spoiler)]

WTH (view spoiler)[~ I knew that kid was going to freak. I couldn't believe that the mom never got him until the end either. You are much kinder than me, blindfold would've been a great idea, I was thinking duct tape, so he couldn't scream. LOL

My hubby thinks that the older boy is going to kill Carl. I'm glad that Carl took the gun off him at gun point, maybe the other boy will back off.

I think Morgan is going to die, remember how annoying everyone usually gets before they get killed. I'm glad that Carol didn't kill him and vice versa. But for the jerk?! That Wolf told Morgan that he was going to kill everyone if he gets the chance.

Deanna should've killed 5 walkers and then shot herself. Though they could use her to attack survivors next season.

I was soooo angry that those people stole Daryl's crossbow and his motorcycle after he came back and helped them! (hide spoiler)]

[CassieCruel]

I was very underwhelmed, especially after last seasons mid-finale!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! We are so on the same wavelength, Marla. And, yeah, I'm not usually so vicious, but this show brings out the KILL 'UM ALL! I didn't know I had in me! >:D

RE:
Glenn - JUST like them! Meanies!

Underwhelming ~ Glad it wasn't just me.

Bikers ~ *facepalm*

WTH ~ Duct tape LOL!
Hubby could be right - dumber things have happened from letting someone off the hook.

I hope you're right, at this point, he's REALLY annoying me.

Deanna should've ... YEP!

I was soooo angry ... Me too!

Cassie Cruel wrote: "I was very underwhelmed, especially after last seasons mid-finale!!"
Right? Me too, Cassie. I'm guessing the season opener will be a doozie though.

[CassieCruel]

I hope so Steph!!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Just as long as (view spoiler)[ they don't choose to kill off Carol, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie or Michonne ... or Rick, I guess. LOL! The Alexandria herd can be culled and probably will be if not in the opener then before the season's finished. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Can we please kill off the preacher...anyone? Wolf guy? PLEEEEASE!!!!

LOL, Steph, we do think alike! I wish we could go get coffee! LOVE the *facepalm* ~ EXACTLY

I agree Steph, (view spoiler)[ no killing, Daryl, Glenn & Michonne...and we know they won't kill off Rick. Hubby loves Carol, but he's getting disenchanted with Morgan and Carl. Uh oh. (hide spoiler)]

Alexandrites ~ I like the guy with the dreads and Aaron is okay and Spencer is kind of cute and might have potential.

Walking Dead or Alive list, this is cool! (view spoiler)[ Grrrr...I hated the Governor, the Claimers and those icky Terminus people. Glad they are all gone. Notice how the worse you are, how no one in the group survives. Does not bode well for the Wolves. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry for all the CAPS, but I get so excited when I talk about TWD.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

No need to worry about the CAPS, I do the same. Geez, this show pulls forth so much emotion. :D

Exactly! Those who deserve to die (some 10x over) are still totting around. Grrrrr!

I don't drink coffee, but I'd take ya up on that offer if we could get together over ... any beverage ... for a chat. :D

I'm with your hubs on those two as well. Wouldn't bother me at all if either got killed off. (view spoiler)[Well, I might get a teensy bit sad for Rick and those who love Carl, but I think that kid has been living on borrowed time since he couldn't keep his ass in Hershel's house. >:) (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I just haven't bothered to care about any of them really. (view spoiler)[ Not even blondie - Rick's new smoochie face girl. (hide spoiler)]

Love that list! Bookmarked it for future reference, thanks! (view spoiler)[ The Governor was a good bad guy character b/c they'd show episodes that would show his dreadfulness, then one that would show his life prior. Still, never wanted him to live. Terminus was a trip. Glad that didn't much more show time than it did though. I wondered if some of those from either Gov camp or Termites would have survived and would show up later in the series. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

LOL...that was figurative, I don't drink coffee either, but "let's go get chai tea or hot chocolate" just doesn't sound as cool.

Smoochy girl ~ definitely not liking her so far. (view spoiler)[Didn't like her from the hair cut and look at who she married! And her kids are all a mess too. Pass on her. Don't know what Rick sees in her, but in his defense, there is definitely a limited supply of eligible women. And his hair does look better :D

Could she do something about Daryl's hair, it's been a greasy mess! I love Daryl, but his hair has been grossing me out. But did you see those biceps *swoon*

Do you remember when Carl shot that guy at the prison and freaked Hershel out? I wonder what is going to happen with Carl and Blondie's oldest.

What did you think of Enid and Carl? I don't really like her especially after she drew down on Glenn, but maybe they are meant for each other. And we'd have some YA vibe going on. Firsts....kiss, holding hands, etc.

I am doubting 2 infants in a zombie apocalypse, so... (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Well, yeah. :p

(view spoiler)[It's settled, blondie can go! LOL!

Daryl's hair - poor thing. It truly is a mess. He doesn't seem the type to worry about vanity though, so I'm guessing it's pretty low on his must-do list.

I do. Lil shit! I wonder too. I'm fine w/them killing each other, actually. And, yeah, I realize how terrible that sounds. Damn, but this show does bring out the kill-um-all in me.

Eh. I don't really want this show to go soft in that way. But, I really did like the little glimpses of Glenn and Maggie's courtship. Awwww. So, I guess fair's fair. Definitely believe others deserve love too. Just haven't seen any potential couples I wanna see together.

I don't like Enid much either. I've been thinking she's with the Wolves and when she told Glenn he'd better go (post dumpster crawl) I thought for sure Wolves would pop out and BAM! Thank goodness that's not what happened. Now that Glenn's gone all daddy-voice on her, I'm guessing she'll have a bigger part on the show and maybe I'll get to know her a bit better. Right now though - not a fave of mine.

Yeah, Judith making it this far is a miracle. (hide spoiler)]

[CassieCruel]

(view spoiler)[Judith is THE miracle baby!!

But I'm secretly hoping Glenn sorta take Enid in

Mid season finale was crap, I mean loads of people should have died, but it was almost a filler episode IMO

Daryl defo needs a shower!! Stinky boy, but him and Abraham will kick ass

I really like Abraham's character tbf (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Enid (view spoiler)[ could be a Wolf, but she's so set on being on her own, that I doubt it. Yet another kill-em-all example. I think Daryl and Maggie might take Enid in too. (hide spoiler)]

Daryl (view spoiler)[ ~ remember when they first got to Alexandria and everyone was taking showers and Daryl refused to shower or change his clothes. And he was always on the porch of the house and not inside. I kept thinking everyone is getting soft except for our man Daryl. But couldn't he be clean and tough? LOL (hide spoiler)]

Abraham (view spoiler)[ ~ I'm glad you like him Cassie, he is not my favorite. And I do not see him and Sasha together. And I thought he was a thing with the other girl? (hide spoiler)]

I was thinking of how the writers do such a great job with some of the characters and other characters are so one dimensional.

[CassieCruel]

(view spoiler)[I also thought he had a thing with her, nah I agree that him and Sasha don't fit well (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Enid (view spoiler)[still not sure I fully trust her. Part of me believes she really wants to accept the support Glenn is offering and be loyal, but another part still wonders ... what was she really doing every time she snuck out of Alexandria? She better not be the reason one on the "better not kill" list gets dead. (hide spoiler)]

Daryl (view spoiler)[ LOL!! Maybe he thinks his stank will help him blend in should he get caught between zombies. (hide spoiler)]

Abraham (view spoiler)[ Definitely don't care if he gets killed. Sorry, Cassie. Don't know why really, but I've never been a fan. Plus, wasn't he with Rosita? (is that her name?) No one likes a cheater - even in the apocalypse. I really hope Sasha doesn't want to get with him - eww. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

No one mentioned (view spoiler)[ the gay girls getting together. I was glad because I think the ex-Governor groupie girl (sorry, don't remember her name either) was crushing on Maggie and it was annoying me.

Why can't Daryl find love? I thought he and Carol maybe, but doesn't look like that is going to happen.

According to some survey, hooking up is the thing everyone would do in an apocalypse. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(view spoiler)[ Oh yeah, I like those two together. Like I said, I like the actress that plays the nurse/dr (taken by wolf), she was on Nurse Jackie. Glad ex-Gov girl has someone - an unattached someone, although who knows her fate with the Wolf.

I was hoping he and Carol would hook up too. Maybe - eventually? Dunno. Maybe it's the oily hair. LOL!

Oh, I've no doubt --- end of the world, get it while ya can. :D (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Hey there...what did you think of the new episode?

Warning, full of spoilers and kind of rambles on and on.

(view spoiler)[ WOW, I thought for certain that Carl was a dead duck...and then Rick would go off the deep end again. Which is actually what I thought when he went out the door... So we knew the whiny boy was going to bite it, but the whole family?!!!!!

Hey, the minister (Gabriel) finally grew a pair! Maybe there is hope for everyone in the apocalypse. Okay, now that I don't hate him (as much or as loudly), can you please kill him off...

Oh, my goodness, why do they keep putting my precious Glen in mortal danger. I was going to scream if they killed him off (again)! Poor, Maggie, first the zombies in the barn, then her dad, then Beth...not Glen too!!! I might've dove off the platform in a zombie suicide. Oh, but I forgot the baby...okay, maybe cherish the baby in Glen's memory...OR YOU COULD JUST NOT KILL GLEN OFF, thank you very much!! *takes a deep cleansing breath*

Um, that's my rant for now...oh, wait, do you think the Wolf had a change of heart, personally, I don't care and I'm glad that he's dead and I'm glad the gay doctor survived. I am so heartless, I know...me and Carol. I'm still irritated that Morgan fought her over that piece of #@%*&. Even if you don't agree with her, she's family! And they could've both gotten dead. Stupid!!

My family was talking about all the references lately, almost like it's the final season or something: Glen calling Rick "dumb ass," Carl now with an eye patch like the Governor, Morgan is now stick wielding in honor of his mentor (forgot his name already), protected community overrun like the Prison (and Governor's domain and even the Farm), dressing up in zombie guts like Glen and Rick in the rain and Carol at Terminus, another baby. Of course, as the seasons go on, it's difficult to come up with totally novel ideas. (Though that pit of zombies was AMAZING! And then the pied piper zombie style sort of worked...though I'm still annoyed that they just led them off somewhere and made it someone else's problem...or I wouldn't be surprised if that comes back to bite them.

Wait, what about the bike gang's demise?! That was FANTASTIC! I was fist pumping and cheering! My husband was laughing at me. But I was complaining that they wasted a missile on the flaming zombie pit...couldn't they just toss a molotov cocktail and save the missile?! But it did look a lot cooler. I get that they would attract and damage the zombies in the pit of fire, but the walkers would still wander out when the fire went out...so how did they dispatch them?

I hope I left you things to add...this is kind of loooong.
(hide spoiler)]

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I thought the new episode was great, exciting, but oh so tragically sad.

[Marla]

So what do you think of the new guy? (view spoiler)[ I say don't trust him! I'm surprised that Rick & Darrel didn't kill him.

My daughter was yelling at them. Take the food back to Alexandria, don't go anywhere. And when they lost the truck, she was screaming! LOL. We are an intense TWD family. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D Marla, too bad we can't watch together - what a hoot that'd be!

(view spoiler)[I have no idea how Carl was able to survive a bullet to the head and only lose an eye. Huh? No exit wound? No brain splat?

The whole family meal was a surprise, but I was secretly glad b/c I didn't want blondie and Rick hookin' up. Now that we've seen his new hook up, I'm even happier she's gone.

Yeah, how surprising was Gabriel? Still don't like him and won't care a lick if he's killed off, but FINALLY! the dude pulled his weight and helped out. Still, too late, IMO.

OH MAN! I was thinking, "Yep, just like them - Glenn survives an impossible situation, makes it back to Maggie, then BAM! dead!" But, NO! He's saved! YAYAYAYAY! :D

I'm guessing the Wolf had a change of heart, but probably because she was his only shot at surviving the bite. Glad he's dead.

Morgan's an ass. He can die too now that he's shown he's completely unwilling to do what's needed to save "the fam". Dick.

"My family was talking about all the references lately, almost like it's the final season or something" ... I hope it's not the end. But, yeah, y'all found a lot of similarities/parallels.

"Wait, what about the bike gang's demise?!" AWESOME! One of the best scenes ever! K-frickin'-BOOM, MF! :D

I thought Ep3 was kinda boring - I definitely don't trust that community or Jesus. Everything about him seems fake. I'm just waiting for them to find out it's some sort of prison camp or something. I can't believe they're going to risk everyone to trade with this group. Find others! Ugh. Although, good on Maggie for negotiating so much on an WE-O-U. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

True...I think we'd have great fun at a TWD watch! My family is amusing enough...we yell and make predictions. If it's really good, sometimes we rewind the scene and watch it again.

We are getting a little tired of Talking Dead, but I do LOVE the Memoriam.

(view spoiler)[ Yup, amazing that Carl only lost an eye, but I'm not ready to lose him just yet. Did you see the look he gave his dad...lol.

I thought less of blondie that she was going to hook up with the guy who offed her husband before the body was buried. Goodbye.

I'm wondering if they are getting ready to take care of Morgan, you know how Shane, Lori, Dale and Andrea all got annoying before they were killed off. Maybe so we don't riot when they kill off a favorite main character. Beth wasn't my favorite, but I was surprised by her death...is she still dating Daryl in real life?

My daughter's boyfriend said that according to the graphic comics, we have years of storylines to go. Yay!!

I did like it that Jesus beat up Rick and Daryl...he might be good to have around if we could trust him. Love his Houdini tricks every time they tie him up. I still don't trust him, but I cannot stand their leader!!! Maggie did a great job of negotiating. Rick needs to work on his people skills.
(hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D

(view spoiler)[
Yeah, that was cute. So were Rick's comments. :)

True! Goodbye!

I'm sure this next episode where Rick's giving his "we have to do this" speech isn't going to go over well with Morgan. I think most are feeling he's more of a risk than a help at this point. I certainly do.

I didn't know they were dating IRL. Cute. Didn't want them to be a thing on the show though.

Yay! :D

That was awesome - wonder where he got his fighting skills. I want to like him, but I'm leery of anyone new at this point. Oh yeah, their leader was a jackass. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

I cannot believe that there are only 3 more episodes left to this season.

So what did you think of (view spoiler)[ the gang going over to kill Neegan's group? I think NEGAN is going to stand for something...Not Everyone Gets Away Now...NEw GANg...what do you think? "We're all Neegan"...I don't get it? I know they need food and Neegan's group already attacked Daryl and Rick on the road...but I'm not sure about killing people just because someone else tells you they're bad. Even if that someone is Jesus.

Speaking of which, go Maggie! But I really don't trust Jesus's groups CRAZZZZY leader.

And yes, I'm still going to b****, er, complain about them losing that truck full of food, a couple episodes ago. If you didn't have to worry about walkers in the water, couldn't you salvage the stuff that's water tight? [I'm seeing a wooden barrier...like a shark cage.] (hide spoiler)]

[CassieCruel]

Feel like this season is dragging so much!!!

[Marla]

Cassie Cruel wrote: "Feel like this season is dragging so much!!!"

I thought it started off with a bang, but there were lots of slow parts in between serious action.

[Marla]

Maggie & Judith (view spoiler)[ I am worried that there isn't enough story for 2 babies in the zombie apocalypse and one of them is going to get eaten or something. That would be tragic. My older daughter was colicky and cried all the time...she would not have survived in a zombie apocalypse.

I'm worried about food and also that new community. (hide spoiler)]

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Yeah, babies definitely don't always fare well. We'll see what they're planning. Have a feeling the finale of this season will be tragic.

[Marla]

It might be, since the season started off with lots of blood shed, it might end as well.

So long as my favorites survive: Daryl, Glenn & Michonne, I can abide. And I really like Carol too, but you know characters always start getting annoying before they get killed off, so I'm worried about her.

[Allison Ann]

Hello everyone, Marla invited me to join you all here. I marathoned this whole show right before the middle of Season 6 started up. So I've been watching in real time the last few episodes and being really annoyed at the wait between weeks. :D

I spend the majority of each episode rooting for the walkers and cheering wildly when an annoying human gets killed off. Porch dick's family massacre was a red letter day. Good times! :D

I think Carol's days are numbered too. I really liked cookie-baking, child-threatening, pretending to be useless Carol - she amused me. But the obsessed with Maggie's baby Carol is boring, she can go anytime.

I always forget to watch the "next time on The Walking Dead" so I have no idea where we are going this week, but I hope the team is back together.

[Alisa]

Did you see last week's episode where they lady said babies were "bite size snacks"? Kind of made me laugh. I can't imagine a baby surviving tbh. Even a good baby cries and those babies would be hungry all the time making it even worse.

Our gang / that group: (view spoiler)[
I couldn't believe they did that. Of course they threw in that wall of smash head photos to make viewers feel a little better about them randomly killing people in their sleep. But, it seemed like a stupid idea to me. I thought they were risking too much for a bit of food. Plus, just offing people based on someone else's word - someone they'd just met. Dunno. Glad it went as well as it did, but a big step in a bad direction, IMO.

Re: Neegan/Negan: I thought it'd stand for something too! GMTA. But the Talking Dead dude mentioned Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been cast as Neegan, so guess it's a person? Didn't get the "We're all Neegan" remark either. (hide spoiler)]

Wee ones: (view spoiler)[ I'm not sure about two babies in this world, either. But, we hardly see Judith, so maybe it'd be the same with Maggie & Glenn's baby? If one has to go, sorry, but it's gotta be Judith. LOL! Nah, I just feel that Maggie and Glenn deserve that baby, so I don't want lil him/her to be z-food. (hide spoiler)]

Carol: (view spoiler)[ OH NO, Don't Go! I hate it when they split up, dammit! (hide spoiler)]

Nurse Chick: (view spoiler)[ Holy Arrow, Batman, but that was a wicked scene! Hated to see her go (loved the actress on Nurse Jackie), but damn that was a memorable way to go out. Her GF is gonna be so boohooy when she gets back. (hide spoiler)]

We're about to get on the road for an indefinite amount of time, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to keep up with Fear or not. If we are, I hope S2 is better than S1.

Seriously? What the hell?
