[Dinowolf]

A very dark episode and quite gut wrenching at times.

Neagus has a large well equipped group and it makes you wonder if there are any more groups out there that are like his.

I can't wait for the next episode now, the sign of a very good series.

I watched bits of this stuff this morning with the wife (who actually likes it) and my opinion of this shite hasn't changed

Doesn't do for us all to like the same thing, as your signature says.

I saw a couple of bits of episodes a while back and felt the same, certainly didn't see anything to fear from a dawdling group of mindless beings who were rendered completely useless after pretty tame contact to the head.

You sure that wasn't the UKIP conference.

I've just started watching it, and whilst season 1 was alright, season 2 stuck on the farm is kinda boring. I'm gonna stick with it for now in the hope that it improves (Breaking Bad certainly did...)

Indeed. My point entirely.

It gets much better. I almost gave up then too but it's not long before they meet some more interesting characters.

 

[visage]

Holy moly.

 

[nimrod]

personally, given we knew what was gonna happen from a long while back, I was expecting something a lot better than what we got. underwhelmed.

 

[Langers]

It wasn't what happened, it was how it happened. Bloody horrible!!

I can't think of a more gruesome scene I've seen on telly.

true, but they've got to big him up. didn't mind that provided we don't get it every week. they could have done it in 20 mins and advanced the story a bit for me. the real torture for me was negan hamming it up for the whole episode just for effect (not blaming the actor for that). maybe just me, but my attention was drifting.

Hmm I can't agree I'm afraid. Thought the way they unveiled it was pretty epic.

I think it's a show that is reliant on hamming things up and being ridiculously over the top, but in this instance they pitched it right and made it pretty memorable.

It's a ridiculous show. And this episode was unquestionably the most shocking yet IMO.

When can we post spoilers like who?

Happy enough with the episode. I had read a few weeks ago rumours of which pretty much what happened so it didn't come as much of a surprise. Looking forward to seeing Ezekiel in this season.

I thought the over long build up was unecessary as was the gruesomeness, I almost turned it off at one point and I've never come close to that with TWD before as I really like it.

I just feel like the culmination of the last series and this episode just went way too far and depressing and just leave me wanting to off myself.

Having said that I'm interested to see where the series goes from here.

no prob, just my view. i prefer it say 80% about the story. if they slow it too much just to over egg something, i get bored.

i guess i knew they were going to devote a whole episode to essentially one encounter

 

[Boozad]

To be fair the show has done the comic justice, it was true to the source material except there was only one victim in the comics. Great episode, it was all aimed at the breaking of Rick (nobody could argue that could have been done in 20 minutes, the episode was about the bigger picture, not one encounter) and that's a massive plot device. Negan will be around a lot longer than The Governer was.

 

[So Long Architect]

We've started rewatching The Lost Room which has turned up on Pick (so I guess on Sky). Great little one-off sci-fi series.

Anyone ever watch 24 hours in A&E?
I keep catching bits of it. Fuck me, intense tv at times. Not entirely sure it is tv material in some ways, but phenomenally emotional.
