Almost the same her. I read about this Show and my first Thought was "Omg, a Show about Zombies...maybe it lasts one Season"

Started to watch it, because i was bored and i thought "Ok, if it's crap , you have wasted 45 minutes of your Life" and i was soooo
surprised and it gripped me immediately.

Bye Rick

I still don't know the Comics .

Had similar thoughts when I first heard about The Walking Dead and was always hearing about it everywhere, but when I watched the first season it gripped me and I was hooked. Frank Darabont did a great job bringing a new twist to the zombie genre.

I gave up on TWD almost two seasons ago (just when Neegan made his debut), because I was fed up of investing time in a show with no end-game in sight. But I made it that far because of Norman Reedus and especially Andrew Lincoln. I just watched Rick's final heroic act on YouTube, and I ain't gonna lie: I choked up. Rick Grimes is hands down my favourite TV character since Fox Mulder & Dana Scully. He was a bad-ass mofo who gave it all for his survivor-family, and that show will be nothing without him, regardless of what the producers promise.

That being said, now that Andrew Lincoln is once again the job market...

Someone, somewhere... needs to get off their tail-bone and cast him as Roland Deschain in a Dark Tower series. That is all.

He would be a great Roland..did you dig the end music, wang chung space junk,the same music when he was trapped in the tank at the end of the first episode and Glenn was calling him on the radio?

I've really enjoyed this season so far. The format is working again and there's a renewed sense of danger from the walkers, who for the past couple of seasons had been peripheral and their appearance mere nods to the roots of the show. And I guess all the while ratings continue to be above those of S1 and/or S2, they'll keep the series rolling.
There were some excellent performances in the latest ep. Andrew Lincoln, obviously, but Jeffrey Dean Morgan did a great job with his screen time, too. It's a real shame he was wasted so badly for at least a season and a bit. I guess you could say ditto Pollyanna McIntosh.

I did have a pretty big gripe as well, though. Well, three, actually.
1) Given the amount and colour of blood Rick was losing, he must have done an artery. He would have lost enough blood to black out, which OK, he kept doing, but still the claret flowed and he would/should have bled out in minutes;
2) He shouldn't - couldn't - have ended up in the river from where he was standing. The blast wave should have a) torn him apart and/or b) blown him a fair way down the road or into the tree line. What it couldn't have done is somehow blow him sideways and slightly forwards into the water. The only way that could have happened is for him to be somehow immune to the expanding blast wave, but susceptible to the contracting wave once the outgoing energy was expended and air came rushing back in to fill the vacuum. As Scotty might have put it, "Yer cannae change the laws of physics!"
3) The Dalek Sek-style 'Emergency Temporal Shift!' BS. I really hope the chopper squad remembered to take Gabriel out of that truck when they carted Rick off. If they didn't, the poor bugger's going to have been stuck in there for what appears to be 5-7 years. Funny, too, how in all that time none of the other major characters appears to have been killed off. Is the time jump a mistake? Well, I suppose time (ha!) will tell.

Ok, this Episode was a little bit annoying at the beginning.
But what was this for a Voice at the End, saying "Don't let them get away" ?? :icon_eek:
The voice said something before but i couldn't understand what it said

Watched this Sequence again. Was it the Body with the blonde Ponytail and the bloody Arm ??

Yes. :)

As for the voice at the end of this week's, I thought I was hearing things. It sounded at one point as though a walker had said "Get them" or something along those lines. It wouldn't have made sense for Eugene or Rosita to say anything given their situation, so...

I know that Andrew Lincoln is gone from the show. However, the show just had a totally different "feel" without his awesome presence. Rosita and Father Gabe I found to be cringe worthy. They have not had flirtation and now they are a couple?

Still watching...

Eugene actually grew a backbone :biggrin2: . He's killing walkers now. Carol was so brutal wow. Gabriel and Rosita, weird, where did that come from? Is that Rick's child with Michonne? I think it is. I keep hearing about the whisperers but I know somehow they changed it to the walkers evolving by speaking. The show is different but I will still watch even though Rick's not there. It's like he's still around because he didn't die in the last episode. How did the priest get on the council? Michonne seems like the best leader after Rick.

Me too,WTH, Rosita and Gabriel?! Ridiculous...and I know we must suspend belief for a zombie tv show,but an eight year old,able to not only hang onto but shoot a colt python 357,with accuracy,at fifty yards?! Good God Navy Seals couldn't have made those rapid shots..oh well..poor Rosita,she has to choose between Gabriel and Eugene,please...lol..
