šŸ§Ÿ The walking dead / Fear the walking dead / Flight 462

Iā€™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 donā€™t have to deal with any more fucking cliffhangersā€¦

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, itā€™s just stopping the processing unit for firing the neurons to control the rest of the body.

What I donā€™t get is if youā€™re undead why your body doesnā€™t start rotting after a couple of days!!! No circulation, no oxygen getting to the organs and musclesā€¦

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.

Hadnā€™t watched any of TWD until a few months ago, watched all 6 seasons over a number of weeks. Now Iā€™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 ā€œdeath in the familyā€ :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 didnā€™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 whatā€™s likely to come up. Had heard that one of the characters was due to go. canā€™t say Iā€™ll issue the other one. very much on edge of seat for so much of this and did feel a little shelf shocked. thankfully didnā€™t need to ring in sick. had a day of training on gangs so violence has been the norm for a bit too long!

No one watching Walking Dead anymore? All zombied out?

Thoroughly enjoyed the season finale. But no one else I know watched it. Even you guys donā€™t talk about it any more.

Iā€™ve just started season (for you bletch) 6. I think itā€™s a great show.

Iā€™m all caught up now.

I have to say that Iā€™m rather bemused by a lot of the hate the show is getting at the moment. Apparently ratings are at their lowest since the first season and Andrew Lincoln, who plays the lead Rick Grimes, is doing the offs.

Iā€™ll still be watching it. Even in the first season, the show was rarely about one person. With the recent worldbuilding of seasonsā€™ past, thatā€™s more true than it has ever been. I think itā€™ll survive Lincolnā€™s departure better than Teachers did.

The next set of antagonists are going to be creepy as fuck, and like nothing the show has put in front of the survivors before. I think we all might spend a bit too much time being horrified to miss Rick. He may well be how theyā€™re properly introduced.

2018 is the year of the whisperers.
