🧟 The walking dead / Fear the walking dead / Flight 462

I know what you mean Ant, but I am enjoying the approach in this series, with the inter-woven incidents from one episode to the previous one. I dont know if the director has changed but this, plus the lingering / deep check of key characters’ inner emotional battles at points seem to be new. Plus there is no shortage of grand scale action.

Well, watched the new (post the 3 month mid-season break) episode of TWD tonight. No huge spoilers from me but its all about the action: there is carnage on an epic scale and a good number of casualties along the way. Very little time for human interest (until near the end at least) or even too much dialogue but hold on tight for the ride!

I saw last night that two people I know had commented on facebook they thought this was the best ever episode of the walking dead.

[POTENTIAL MILD SPOILERS - though I’ll try to avoid specifics]

Thoroughly enjoyed the mid-season premiere. Knew all that was coming due to being up to date with the graphic novels but it didn’t really dull the impact. If anything I was more taken aback due to believing they’d bottle showing the crazier stuff on TV.

Really, really looking forward to the introduction of the character whose men Daryl, Sasha and Abraham met on the road. Quite the writers will handle the personality, actions and use of language I don’t know! Big chance for an actor to make a name for themselves though.

I’ve read that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is to be the new villian.

Which character would you prefer to have their head panned in by Lucille and why?

Scott Gimple so we don’t have to deal with any more fucking cliffhangers…

I gave up with zombie stuff years ago as there is something fundermentally flawed in the whole premise. Surely if they are undead then you cant kill them? They will just go on shuffling around no matter how many bullets you put into them or how many bits you chop off their corpse? Or have I missed something?

Bullet in the brain sorts them out apparently!!

Which seems to be a bit rubbish if you are undead though?

Well, it’s just stopping the processing unit for firing the neurons to control the rest of the body.

What I don’t get is if you’re undead why your body doesn’t start rotting after a couple of days!!! No circulation, no oxygen getting to the organs and muscles…

Ok, well its good to know just in case there ever is a zombie apocalypse!

It does, but I guess at a reduced rate. The older zombies are falling to bits.

Hadn’t watched any of TWD until a few months ago, watched all 6 seasons over a number of weeks. Now I’m hooked.

Oh season 7 first episode done. Anyone else watched it?

Yep. Whole new levels of violence and I guessed wrong on which major character would get the Lucille treatment

Read this morning that:

(a) many Americans called in sick for work after watching it on Sunday night, claiming to be upset over a “death in the family” :lou_lol:

(b) it is still, despite being on series 7, the 3rd most watched TV show in the US. Gets twice as many viewers as GOT. Nuts!

That was truly disturbing.

I was anticipating this episode as a comic reader, and boy they didn’t disappoint. Quite a few tweaks to retain some originality but they nailed the dread and horror of the scene from the comic. JDM seems to be having an absolute ball with his role as well - really looking forward to the rest of the season!

Not read any of the comics although probably would so not idea what’s likely to come up. Had heard that one of the characters was due to go. can’t say I’ll issue the other one. very much on edge of seat for so much of this and did feel a little shelf shocked. thankfully didn’t need to ring in sick. had a day of training on gangs so violence has been the norm for a bit too long!
