Just in...Season Finale is going to be 90 minutes long. I sure hope it is not just more commercials. YEAH!
I'm SQUEEING like a teenage girl :) I've been hoping for 2 hr season premieres and finales since the beginning :) This is a step in the right direction.

BTW, just finished the first Walking Dead novel and I ended up liking it more than I thought I would at the beginning. It's the story of how Philip Blake became 'The Governor'--well, this is the very beginning. At the end of the book his group is just getting settled in Woodbury. The beginning is rough--Kirkman is a comic writer, not a novelist--but it gets better as it goes along.

I have read all the Walking Dead novels...Including the last one. I like them. IT is good story of The governor and his development as a character.

I think that
'audition' sounds like they're going to try out for a Judy Garland movie. Maybe we're about to see the Walking Dead musical episode. I think that Aaron and Eric lied more or less the way Eugene lied. Seeing the previews for next week's epi makes me think that Alexandria is abandoned, the children Rick heard were in his head, and Aaron and Eric are alone there, desperate for company and protection from 'wolves'/marauders. That also brings to mind 'Bad Wolf' spray-painted and appearing here and there on episodes of Dr. Who.

The woods are lovely dark and deep
epi is that the group is having trouble settling down in new way of living

Haunted, I'm going by
Michonne asking Aaron why there are no people in the pictures, and in the previews, them appearing to wander down empty streets and seeming to go into a house or houses and finding no-one. Or so it looks like. Aaron said something about auditioning sounding like try-outs for a dance troupe. Maybe he just likes Broadway musicals or something, and the term was his idea. Until I see next week's epi I'm sticking with my 'Aaron and Eric as Eugene' theory.

Good Lord,can we please do away with the spoilers about three days after the original release date?It just seems like a huge waste of time to me.. if you haven't seen it by then,just be wary and find it,god,you can find anything these days ten minutes after it airs..just not a spoiler fan I guess.. ;)

I am just going by the rules. I will leave it up.to mods to decide when after an episode it is ok to dispense with the spoler tags.

No, please use spoilers. I'm really sorry I can't run on everyone else's schedule, but it sometimes takes me days before I get to watch an episode, other times I watch it that night. Just depends. But since Flakers and I both watch this show, we've asked you to use spoilers and we are very thankful to you all for doing so, for us. Thank you.

Ditto this.

mjs9153, we had huge discussions on this a week or two ago but you may have missed that? Using spoilers isn't difficult and allows people to catch up with the show in their own time, as DJ said, we are all busy people and schedules change so doing it this way means it's nice not to have a favourite show ruined.
