I thought the season 5 premiere was much better than season 6. Where was Carl at? I didn't see him the entire episode.

If it was real life (which it isn't), wouldn't it be a better idea to deal with the pit by killing the walkers? It looked like there was just a couple of walkers escaping at a time. That's something you could task a crew with killing via swords, arrows, pikes, spears, etc. Maybe guns just in case things got out of control?

Leading the walkers away doesn't sound like much of a solution, because eventually they're just going to.... Walk right back.

If it was well written, they could definitely do it. Didn't they have like 10 versions of CSI on at the same time a few years ago?

I'd watch two different versions of the Walking Dead with different characters, if it was good.

So who is honking the horn?

The priest?
The kid whose dad got killed?
The mayor?
Outsiders wanting to take over after the zombies over run?

Definitely the f*** priest!

that was my thought at first..though I didn't give it much thought since it was such a Three's Company uh-oh not again moment.

Is there a TWD series discussion thread on pinside? If not the OP could change the title of this one!

Its the "new character". Just wait. We might see him and his cronies Sunday.

Burying them , they dig out. Flooding with fire, only burns the head , still alive. Winter and frozen head ? Maybe. Having them fall down a large ramp. Maybe. The human head is a fortruss. Tough to get through.

Thanks Art!!!

Problem is one truck was about to crash and free them all, which it did!

When you're a zombie, not that much.... several times I've seen them completely smash a zombie head with so little effort....

lol...nearly any instrument, blunt or otherwise, seems to sheer skull like a surgical strike.

I tend to agree.

Rick needs to kill the priest. I guess the producers want to keep at least one black dude from The Wire alive now that the other two are dead?

I guess to me it makes sense to try first but then again. Its hollywood and you have to have super drama

I'd also like to see them kill the Priest, he has no redeemable qualities.

In the past they've been very good, almost amazingly good, at introducing new characters, then killing off an original character and having the new characters stick. That's really hard to do, though!

So I think they're holding onto the Priest for dear life since he's been around a couple seasons now. I'm not sure there's anybody really in the town now that can add to their merry little gang when they move along, though...

100% this!!!! Once again, when shit hit the fan last night he went into coward mode. Just let him get bitten already!!! Last night was epic ,but it really pissed me off that after all this time the people of Alexandria still have yet to be trained to defend themselves.

Wow back to back epic episodes this season.

They really haven't had the time as the civilians weren't 100% on board with ricks group. They're in denial about how bad the world really is. Last two episodes sure are an eye opener for them and Ricks been trying to show them.

so this season is a slow build towards final battle with "the W's" taking the place of pirate patch from previous season?

I'm taking it you haven't watched any episodes yet?

only one can guess, I mean, I'm still to see a plot take full shape yet.... will Rick and the bunch abandon Alexandria? who are those W's, how much of them there are, where are they, and what does this sign on their foreheads mean?

CAROL!

Carol-Rambo-The-Walking-Dead.jpg

Probably one of the best episodes to date! Carol is my favorite character by far.

Jedi Bow-staff guy is really starting to annoy me with his pseudo-pacifist antics. It brings an interesting tangent to the show, so I appreciate it, but I wouldn't be too upset if his character dies.

Now for some delicious turtle soup!

Watched both...

my guess is it's a group led by David Coverdale of Whitesnake fame, hence the W...what else could it be?

I thought it stood for "Wolves" Which is what they must call their group.

We'll see how far they take thing this season. For those that have read the comics we're obviously around the "No Way Out" comic arc. If it's slow it will be a long drawn out fight with the heard of walkers. If they take things quickly we could progress though three story arcs; "No Way Out", "We Find Ourselves", and "A Larger World".

I must of misinterupted what you meant cause I saw nothing slow in those first two episodes.

right. Didn't say those episodes were slow(first one was though...literally, with the slow walkers marching) but this seems like the "A" story that they will take the entire season to resolve..thus the "slow" build. They have a story like this every season, I'm just guessing the "W's" are this seasons eye patch man.

His name was Philip aka The Governor, and he was the best character this series has seen damnit!

I hated him...it was like a satire on a villain. He went on to play a "General" or something on Extant as well.

My prediction is they will resolve both the Wolves (quickly) and zombie hoard before the mid-season break.

My favorite character is Maggie Greene!

She can kill with just her looks!

The comic books suggest otherwise.

so does the history of the show...it's great but sometimes 3 or 4 go by and they have not accomplished much. If they start a big story it's almost certain to drag out until final episode.

I can see how Glenn finds the strength to carry on in such a dystopian world.

Me too.
RIP Glenn.jpg

Too bad for Glenn though... if you've seen tonight's episode... you are not going to be happy.

I'm not sure what just happened there.

The pic is from a scene when Maggie and Glenn went on a search for baby formula and I think Michonne's character gets introduced.

Head writer Scott Gimple released an apology statement to the fans which was read on tonight's episode of the Talking Dead afterward.

So it seems..., yeah. It really happened.

He will be forever immortalized as a small image of him appears on the right side of the LE apron.
There's Glenn on the LE.jpg

The 3 episodes of season 6 are amazing so far it could be the best season evar

To be honest, I've never really liked Glen's character. He's on Carl level with me, just do not care whether he lives or dies. Same goes for every character from Alexandria. For me the big characters will always be

Daryl
Rick
Michonne
Carol

To be honest I don't really even care for Maggie much. She's hot but she ain't THAT hot. Rosita's 5X hotter.

Characters I liked that are either still here or died:

Beth, Hershel, the Governor, Merle Merle Merle, even Tyrese, Lori for her general insane hotness, Shane was great, Sasha's cool, Dale, Abraham and Eugune. Andrea was alright, too.

Could not agree more, she s smoking hot

Another smoking episode. This season is hitting on all cylinders. Amazing!

I don't blame them. I'd stretch it out too, because with storylines like this you've got all kinds of action and things you can draw out to get an entire season out of. I don't read the comics so don't know the arc, but there's plenty of action this season even though if you think about it, the last 3 episodes have only covered 3 or 4 hours of real time... if that!

It kind of looked at first like the other dude fell on top of Glen and it was his guts that were getting eaten. When they panned back you could see no escape even if it wasn't Glen being eaten at first. Looks like a first season character is gone...

You watch, it was Nick being eaten, he'll get saved. Then in the season finale, Glenn will get killed in front of Maggie a week after she tells him she's pregnant.
