Thanks!

I had to drop cable...couldn't afford paying so much just for TWD and TD...so I'm well behind y'all.  I wish TD was on Netflix, for those of us playing catch-up!

Buy a ROKU Premier or more upscale version of the Premier,and get close to 1400 streaming channels. Netflix being one of them.

You might also consider buying a HD antenna.

https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Compact-Outdoor-Antenna-Range/dp/B0024R4B5C/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1488222207&sr=8-6&keywords=rca+hd+antenna (https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Compact-Outdoor-Antenna-Range/dp/B0024R4B5C/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1488222207&sr=8-6&keywords=rca+hd+antenna)

 I can't recommend this one highly enough. I like it so much I have bought 3 of them. One as a gift to a friend,one for my workshop,and one for the home. It is rated to receive stations at up to 50 miles away,and the closest station to me is 55 miles away. I pull in 39 channels with it,and don't pay a dime because they are all broadcast uhf or vhf channels.


If you want to record for later viewing and have TIVO while watching live tv,but a Channel Master. It comes with 1tb of storage for recorded shows,but has a plug in the back where you can plug in another one,or one that has even more memory. I personally like the removable hard drives because I can take them with me on the road to watch my recorded shows on my laptop.

I also have Direct TV streaming that came with a free Fire Stick that costs me $45 per month and I get over 100 channels with that,plus HBO and Showtime.

Yeah,if you get it all at one time the initial outlay is a little steep,but unless you also get the Direct TV Streaming service you don't have a monthly bill other than the one from Netflix. BTW,within a month or two Direct TV streaming services will be a channel on ROKU.

Let's not forget that this same deception is how he survived in the early days with Abraham. He's smart but not highly educated or anything. Its all stuff he picked up from reading and watching TV.

I don't think so.  Remember his expression when the doctor was "cooked"?  He was horrified Negan would do that.  Now, remember he is super brilliant.  I think that moment set his mind working how he needed to "act" at the moment to stay alive and develop a plan to bring down Negan.  He may be the actual one who does that because he knows so much science/chemistry/physics.  My Bob, the earth scientist/physicist/chemist, knew exactly what Eugene was doing to create that blast. Bob also had a license to use dynamite in his quest for oil over the world, searching for traces of it under the ground in seismic exploration.  Eugene also has that knowledge, is going to make a move at some point to "right the wrongs" happening there.  He is a black and white thinker - this is right and that is wrong, no middle ground.  Don't dump Eugene yet - give him a chance to use his smarts to right that crazy existence.

He named all the degrees he had, Ph.D.s in science, chemistry, etc., and told the companies he worked for (I think I remember that part).  So, he actually has done that stuff.

 Eugene confessed that it was all a lie so Abraham would protect him. Abraham literally wanted to kill him because of it. There is still some tension between Eugene and Rosalita over it.

Eugene's survival instinct has just kicked in (again).  He's just going along to get along.  But don't discount his abilities.  He may (yet) manage to be a valuable tool to use against Negan and his group.

Yes, you are right, I forgot his academic credentials were made up.  I think he still knows what he is doing - he has the knowledge but not the degrees.  I still think he is set on destroying Negan after seeing Negan burn the doctor.  He also knows Negan can turn on anyone at a moment's notice, so he has to make a plan so it won't happen.  Getting rid of Negan saves himself and the rest of them.

Sure you did, I will "hate" you forever (borrowing the "hate" word from some here).  :kisses2:
Bob even stayed in the room to watch, "Talking Dead" program.  He really wants to kill Negan all by himself.  When Negan shoved the doctor into the oven, Bob would have killed him right then.  He was truly shocked to see that happen.  He hasn't been watching for years (it is years isn't it?) like we have, only seen a few episodes, so the extreme cruelty happening in one second, shocks him still.

He has finally figured out this is not about the walkers, it's about the characters living in such a time and what they have to do to survive, including dealing with the walkers.   This program shows what happens to humans when there is an emergency and no law - humans will do anything to get what they need to survive.  Those with no spiritual belief, will kill in a heartbeat.

From the preview, looks like we will be back with Rick and crew next week.

Exactly.  The show is a "what to expect" if and when a real disaster ever occurs.  Other humans will become the biggest threat of all.  For anyone that's into the survival stuff, this show is a perfect example of what good people will be up against re: bad people.

The Dr. was talking to Dwight about this very thing in last night's episode...attempting to rationalize what happened to Dwight and Sheri.  Unfortunately for him, he didn't understand Dwight or how Dwight was impacted by the decisions they made in order to survive.

I think Dwight probably presents the greatest danger to Neegan at this point. He's a mess and ready to snap.

We don't have the internet speed for streaming, or we would do something like that.  We're not deep in the country---we're only a couple of minutes from a state highway, and fifteen minutes from a medium-sized city, but we just don't have options.  There's one cable company to serve the area, but they don't have AMC, so that ain't happening.

Meanwhile, since Verizon bought out Directv, TWD pixels out constantly.

I'm thinking the same thing about Eugene.  He's so weak anyway, and after witnessing Glenn and Abraham get their heads beaten in, he's willing to do anything to feel safe.

Okay, so you and @Cripplecreek are on the same page regarding Eugene, then.  I won't dump him yet, because I've liked him too much, but I don't know...I have a bad feeling.  Hope the show proves me wrong.

Yep, the show is in its seventh year now.  I wish Bob could go through the screen and kill that SOB.  What he did to the doctor was, for me, even worse than the bat beatings.  Also, I'm sick of the smirking and the back bends.  Does he have a spine problem??

Question.   Do you need both the aerial antenna AND the channel master?  If not, which is better?

@XenaLee

Yes,and no.

The Channel Master isn't really necessary unless you want to record shows and want TIVO ability. Given all the quality programming we all have to choose from these days,I can't picture anyone that doesn't need to record some shows for later viewing.

The Channel Master also has a connection for Wi-Fi,so you can also use it to record some streaming channels it gets. The Direct TV Streaming channel will soon be one of them.

The streaming of course is dependent on you having a ethernet or a Wi-Fi connection. The Channel Master is a tuner and recorder. It can and will tune in and record broadcast channels over  your antenna,and it will also record streaming channels coming from your internet connection.

If your money happens to be a little tight at this time,just go with the RCA antenna. You can always add the Channel Master later for the recording and TIVO ability.

BTW,you can stream Direct TV NOW ( https://directvnow.com/watch/live/29003 (https://directvnow.com/watch/live/29003) ) on your computer using IE 7 or higher. Works well with IE7 or above,but doesn't work with Firefox yet. Probably by the end of March,but not yet. Hook a ethernet cable from your computer to your tv,and watch it on your big screen.

If you are a Amazon Prime customer,there are a BUNCH of shows you can stream for free,and others you can buy/rent.

Sorry for rambling and maybe confusing you more. It is not that the antenna and the Channel Master compete with each other. They don't. The compliment each other. Without the antenna or streaming videos,the Channel Master is useless. Without a Channel Master or similar tuner,you don't have TIVO or the ability to record when you are not home and your computer is turned off.

In other words,the HD antenna is essential for broadcast tv. The Channel Master is a tuner and recorder. Without an antenna or/and a internet connection,it's useless.

BTW,forgot to mention,if you can stream at all,you can download shows to a recorder. Once they are recorded,you can watch them in what will seem like"real time" with no stalling out. You can store them on your computer to watch. You can do this even with a slow streaming speed.

Nope.  Eugene started talking, again, and Rick tried to hack his own ear off, but missed.

I don't want to ruin it for you, but in next week's episode Eugene starts blathering on, again, and while someone had the foresight to hit mute, the Closed Captioning was left on forcing Car Oil to shot his (own) other eye out.

I think we may be seeing the women hiding in the woods by the coast again soon. I see from the sneak peek Ezekiel holding a gun. Also sounds like Carol is going to have it out with Morgan.

Yeah, I'm glad Tara finally decided to tell Rick about the women.  I don't see how she could do anything else.  And I like Ezekiel getting tough.

You think Morgan is going to tell Carol about Glenn and Abraham?

Rosita and Sasha should sit tight, but I know they won't, and I'm really interested in seeing what happens.

Not sure how many more episodes.  Yeah, I'm pretty sure the deer would have looked better if it were two people (one front and one back) in a deer costume.  At least it would have looked like it was actually there instead of some weird hovering in the space kind of thing that it looked like the way they did it.

I think we're about to get the old Carol back.

I think what drove Morgan to abandon the pacifism was the realization that the situation was unnatural and causing people like Richard to attempt to sacrifice themselves and getting innocent people killed. I don't think he killed Richard out of anger at Richard so much as it was anger at the whole situation. I think he was angry at the realization that his pacifism wasn't going to save anyone so he intends to kill all the saviors on his own.

I actually have sympathy for Richard. I get it. He lost everything and every attempt to fight back was blocked as he was forced to kiss the Savior's asses again and again and again. I think this is what finally got through to Morgan. These people are being driven insane by repeatedly being forced to turn the other cheek.

@Cripplecreek

I think Morgan had also developed a bond with Ben and was really overcome when he realized how stupid his death was---gone for no reason, over a cantaloupe.  When Morgan asked Richard if he had talked to Ezekiel, and he brushed it off with, "Nah, later", the expression on Morgan's face wasn't a pleased one.

I'm not without sympathy for Richard and what he went through, and Ezekiel did need a fire lit under him.  But damn, that plan was reckless.

@CatherineofAragon

I think that recklessness is exactly why Morgan is going to try to kill the saviors. He thinks he can prevent a war by killing the saviors himself. Unfortunately that's pretty damn reckless of Morgan. He hasn't encountered the Saviors at their worst. He's never encountered Neegan or Neegan's 2nd in command.

The Savior that is in charge of the meetings with the Kingdom is kind of interesting. He's an ass but it seems like his heart isn't in it. He's just trying to do his job and doesn't want any more crap from his own people than from the Kingdom.

I've also noticed that Neegan doesn't go to Hilltop or the Kingdom. I wonder if there's some significance to that.

The mid-level guy who oversees the Kingdom's tributes seemed really regretful over Ben's death.  He didn't hesitate to get rid of the long-haired troublemaker, even told him he would kill him.  I wonder if he could be a possible ally in the future.  He must understand he's living under the thumb of a psycho who might throw him or anyone else into the fire on a whim.

I've kind of wondered about the lack of Negan's presence at those places, too.  I wonder if that's going to change.

It's a DRAMA...there are many things going on at once...Their plan was 2 fold...try for long distance or go in.  They were forced to go in and Sasha and Rosita came to closure...epic episode IMO.  All things leading up to who will and who will not fight against Saviors.

I don't buy it. He's a coward but a good man. He didn't want Rosalita to come and save him partly because he's a coward and partly because he cares about her more than anyone else. He doesn't want her getting hurt.

When it comes down to it, Eugene knows Neegan will eventually kill him. Everything he's told Neegan so far is a lie and will eventually be exposed. Eugene told Neegan he was a doctor and he turned around and killed his doctor. He's a psycho but Neegan isn't so stupid as to kill his only doctor if he didn't think he could replace him easily.

I don't buy it. He's a coward but a good man. He didn't want Rosalita to come and save him partly because he's a coward and partly because he cares about her more than anyone else. He doesn't want her getting hurt.

When it comes down to it, Eugene knows Neegan will eventually kill him. Everything he's told Neegan so far is a lie and will eventually be exposed. Eugene told Neegan he was a doctor and he turned around and killed his doctor. He's a psycho but Neegan isn't so stupid as to kill his only doctor if he didn't think he could replace him easily.

Well... at least it wasn't all about Rick and Michone getting busy by candlelight after a scavenging session.  Next week will be action-packed.  It is about to hit the fan.

@XenaLee

Two episodes left, right?  I think they're going to really bring it for those two shows.

Not to hijack the thread, but just as an aside, if anyone is looking for a good show to watch, I cannot recommend Bates Motel enough.  It's in its fifth and final season.  It's an amazing show, and the acting is stellar.

Eugene and Rosalita have an odd relationship anyway. She's almost like an older sister to him. She protects him but gets madder than hell at him for not protecting himself.

I didn't really notice how good Bates was until I watched the series review leading into this season.  I'm recording, but not watching, this season so I can binge watch it.

We thought it would be just something interesting to watch, too, but then they decided to bring the quality for every episode.  My husband said last night that he actually thinks he's enjoying it more than The Walking Dead right now. 

As you binge, let me know what you think and maybe we can have a thread to discuss, lol.  There have to be others here who watch.

@Cripplecreek

I've been hearing good things about The Expanse.

Yeah its a sci fi lovers dream. Its got a top notch story line, spectacular special effects, and its not over the top fiction. Its pretty solidly based in real and theoretically likely science.

Basically some 200 years in the future there is a 4 way civil war going on among mankind between Earth (Earthers) Mars (Martians) the asteroid belt (Belters) and the Outer Planets Alliance (The OPA) with an alien molecular life form (Proto molecule) transforming people and technology into something unknown and everybody trying to seize control of it to use it as a weapon.
 
Feminists love it because its got so many females in leadership roles but its not done to rub it in men's faces.  Here's a preview of this week's episode with a couple of the Women in a diplomatic meeting. The indian woman is a UN official and she's a bitch.

 http://www.syfy.com/theexpanse/videos/the-expanse-sneak-peek-season-2-episode-9

War crime by belters against inner planets refugees from last week's episode.

http://www.syfy.com/theexpanse/videos/change-of-plans

The belters are starting to remind me of Palestinians.

http://www.syfy.com/theexpanse/videos/loud-and-clear

Also unusual is the kind treatment of religion in the show. Most sci fi goes out of its way to bash religion but the expanse simply includes them. Mormons have been prominent in the show so far and even are building a generation ship and planning to leave the solar system.

They don;t have warp drive, phasers, or transporters.  They fight it out with projectile weapons at close quarters.

I'm afraid that space battle scene put me off watching it slightly.

The ship physics were great though a touch too responsive, but really? Dogfighting? I don't get in many dogfights but close range for me against another aircraft using the gun is 3k. Anything closer is too effing close. And why projectile weapons? If a bunch of hill people and nomads can make functioning and effective missiles out of old piping, a tech based group can certainly do so. Missiles puts point blank range at 20k minimum.

Wouldn't make for good telly though, I guess.

Colony is pretty decent.  Less hard SciFi than Expanse, but it doesn't have the bargain basement production quality which has distracted me from ever really getting into the latter.  Kind of a similar theme to TWD (what would you do if the rules of society were thrown out?).

Also can't wait till the Saviors get a load of Ezekiel marching upon them with that cat.  He's using it as a mascot or good luck charm, perhaps.  Personally, I'd leave the cat at home for fear of it getting killed...especially since i's not exactly trained to attack on command.  But that's just me.

My husband and I were talking during one of the (endless series of) commercials Sunday night.  It used to be that every episode of TWD had you completely engaged and on the edge of your seat.  It's different now.  I don't mean it as a slam, because I still enjoy the show very much, and all shows eventually reach their peaks.

I wouldn't have admitted that on the Dead thread at TOS, because someone would have gone into screaming defensive mode about the show...you know how it is there. 

I think they could use a new showrunner, really.

Yes, she is beautiful.  Negan needs to die.  I don't even like the real man because he is so evil in that show.  He enjoys it too much.

@Victoria33

Same here.  Hate his guts.  Loved seeing Rick get in his face.

Yeah, but as you saw.... that plan didn't go so well as they slunk away and escaped back to their respective ratholes.  This... means....war.  Unleash the dogs (and tiger) and let the real hell begin.
Rick and the Alexandrians placed way too much trust in the Garbage Pail kids...knew next to nothing about them, assumed that they would be against the Saviors, gave them dozens of weapons and then turned their backs on them when they were ready for the showdown...STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.  Otherwise, the plan might have worked to some extent.  They wouldn't have had the truck bomb sabotaged, wouldn't have been stopped from engaging Negan and crew.  Dwight was obviously unaware of the plan because he did what he said he'd do, slow them down by dropping trees.

The ominous signs and comments from Garbage Pail kids were all over the place before Negan showed up...I would have placed their people in positions where my people could watch them and prevent them getting the drop on all of my people simultaneously.

Serious lack of situational awareness and leadership on Rick's part.  He got a lot of people killed and injured because he didn't seriously consider the consequences of letting dozens of strangers into the compound.

So did Dwight really turn against Negan?
I think so.  He cut the trees down like he said he'd do and left the wood figure with the "Didn't know" on it.

His wife is "free" of Negan, so he has no need to continue on with the charade of being "Negan".  I'm not sure he's really that bad of a character as they try to make him out to be.

Granted, he did put the arrow into Denise, but was aiming for Darryl, so there is that.

But look at the left side of his face, that his wife was taken by Negan, etc.  I think there's more to him.

Okay, because I wasn't sure what to make of those looks that were passing between Dwight and the group after Negan showed up.

I don't like the guy, but I know they're going for a redemption arc for him, and this show manipulates my emotions so well that I'm sure my opinion will change, lol.

I remember hating Abraham and Rosita when they showed up.  They were just so comic-book to me, and they were intruding on my group, and I didn't want them there.  I came to love them, though, and it will probably be the same with Dwight.

If you think about not only Abraham and Rosita, but many of the others, lots of reasons to be skeptical or cautious.  But in the end, many have "redeemed" themselves when placed in a civil situation/environment unlike the Saviors.  Many of the Governor's people were manipulated by him, but a few would have fit in with Negan's crowd just fine.

Granted Alexandria is Ricks strong point and a good place to attack from, he should have set the ambush with Jayda's group outside the wall.

Crazy thing is that the kingdom comes to the rescue with a bunch of people who never wanted to fight in the first place.

Honestly I wish Merle was still around. Not as a member of the group but as someone who drifts around from group to group on his own always showing up to protect Darrel. I think he would have killed Neegan himself.

The problem I see going forward is that our group has three areas to defend.  They can be divided, unless they decided to give up the Hilltop and consolidate in Alexandria, at least for the time being.  The Garbage kids have a well fortified junkyard they control, with the equivalent of armored vehicles (trash trucks).  Sanctuary is well fortified as well.  Saviors have numbers and will likely do a divide and conquer...well, they'll attempt that at least.

Wonder if the women's group will ever come around, especially since they clearly aren't getting their guns back now.

Rick's group needs more soldiers AND more guns.  Hell, I'd be checking maps for military bases and trying to scavenge guns and other weapons.  I would light that damned junkyard up, if you get my meaning, for their betrayal.   Then I'd go after Negan.

I didn't really start watching the show till about the time they got to Hershel's farm and hated Shane almost immediately.

Just watched Michael Rooker on Guardians of the Galaxy. He basically plays Merle in space.

@CatherineofAragon

If you liked Vikings, see if you can catch a BBC series called "The Last Kingdom".  It's set during roughly the same period, though that's kind of hard to tell given that Vikings has a somewhat squirrely timeline historically.  Ragnar's sons play prominent roles.  But this is told primarily (though not exclusively) from the English perspective.  Basically, it follows this English boy who is raised by Danes and has divided loyalties --  "The Last Kingdom" refers to Wessex and Alfred the Great, is based on historical novels by Bernard Cornwell. 

Absolutely love the way the series portrays Alfred, and the series builds pretty well as it goes along.

Oh, crap, you had to go and do that, didn't you, lol!  I love Floki and I think Gustaf Skarsgaard is a fantastic actor, and now I'm going to have to check it out.

I can't tell if this is actually him or an actor who looks and behaves a LOT like him.

Have you done anything (install/uninstall/update) with Flash lately?  I believe the reason I don't see video links is because I don't install Flash and the software that the site runs on tags video links as being flash.

I didn't really notice how good Bates was until I watched the series review leading into this season.  I'm recording, but not watching, this season so I can binge watch it.

@InHeavenThereIsNoBeer

Well, it's down to only one more episode for the series, and that's next week.  I'm going to really miss this show; the quality and its ability to grab you has stayed consistent throughout.  The last episodes are like a runaway train.  I'm impressed that the writers have been able to stay very true to the spirit of the movie, while never letting you be sure that you know what's going to happen. 

Freddie Highmore is young but I think he has great things ahead of him.  He wrote and directed a couple of this season's episodes.

Ehh.... the music for Season 3, Episode 1 of Fargo really got on my nerves.  Plot isn't as good as Season 1, either.  If the music doesn't change and the plot doesn't get better, not sure I'll be watching it to the end.

But Bates Motel is amazing.  I wondered how they could structure an entire series around that theme.  Now I know....lol.

When you start out you think, okay, I've seen the movie, I know everything about this story.  What's amazing to me is that the showrunners have managed to stay absolutely true to the spirit of "Psycho" without necessarily copying every single aspect of it.

Yeah, the writing is great.  Anything that keeps my interest season after season has to be good.  All of the side dramas and criminal elements, twists and turns make for good tv viewing, IMO.  I'm on the 4th ep of S2 .... Dylan knows now who his real father is.   You know.... I waffle back and forth between feeling sorry for Norma and disliking her.  Right now I'm in the feeling sorry mode...lolol.  Complex creatures.... her and Norman.

I was the same with Norma.  I hated that she didn't take Norman's illness seriously enough to really get him the help he needed.  But all in all, I come out liking her, because she's so nuts herself, and I LOVE her screaming fits and arguments she has with Norman.

Romero, bad boy, bad cop....ended up being a yay, but I was conflicted and torn throughout.   But generally, I tend to disapprove of folks that behave the way Romero behaved....lol.

In the end, he was a good guy trying to protect Norma, and then he just went off the deep end with the revenge factor.   Norman had to be stopped.  He would have gone on to kill again and again.  Dylan knew that.

But without giving anything away, I am so damn sick of Kirkman's "let's shock the viewers by killing off a key character AGAIN."  We get it, okay---it's the apocalypse and no one is safe and you're writing in a new and controversial way.  That was established, so just stop it now.  Ugh.

They took away one of the few characters that I halfway liked.  Now it's just those...well, I won't say it because I don't want to be a spoiler. 

I liked Strand until they pushed that heavy-handed story of him being so in love with his boyfriend.

I'll be honest, I liked Nick the first couple of seasons.  He was a doper, but I kept hoping he would clean up his act  because he just seemed so sharp...in fact, he had the situation figured out before anyone else did.  I thought if he could get off the drugs, he would be a bad-ass.  But they had to go and make him into a weirdo who deserted his family and likes to wander among the walkers.

I like it when they kill(?) off a main character from time to time.  It's boring when you know everyone is going to make it every time.

So far, this season looks a lot better than the first two.  However, it looks like it could fall into being just another TWD, which I like, but I don't need two of.

I've also decided to punt on it since last week's episode.  Heck, the showrunner Erickson was pretty open about wanting this to be a very "diverse" show, so he was coming at it with a social justice warrior perspective right from the start.  Mocking/demonizing the military, for example.

But last week....  That girl was absolutely terrified that she was going to have to hang out with religious kids, but once it was clear they were just there to mock religion and smoke dope, the happy vibes started.  I suppose that's what comes from living in a bubble -- the showrunner is so convinced that his own views are the ones held by everyone else that he doesn't even see the possibility that he might alienate a huge chunk of the audience.  Oh well....

‘Walking Dead’ Stuntman John Bernecker Dies From Injuries In On-Set Fall

Via Twitter
by David Robb
July 14, 2017 6:30am

John Bernecker, the stuntman who suffered massive head injuries in a fall Wednesday on the set of The Walking Dead, has died at Atlanta Medical Center.

The death was confirmed to Deadline by Coweta County Coroner Richard Hawk, who said Bernecker died of blunt force trauma at 6:30 PM ET on Wednesday. A source at the hospital told Deadline earlier that Bernecker had been placed on a ventilator while his family made arrangements.

Federal workplace monitor OSHA and SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents stunt performers, have launched investigations into the accident.

It’s believed to be the first stunt-related death in the United States in more than 17 years. AMC said earlier today that it temporarily halted production on Season 8 of the zombie apocalypse series in the wake of the accident.

It's about the survival of a group of survivors after a zombie apocalypse.  I'm like a lot of the show's viewers---not into the zombie thing, but we watch it for the human drama, which is really good.  At this point, the zombies are just kind of a backdrop.  One or two might pop up, but that's it.

@Freya

The Zombies are a little scary at first. After all,Zombies are SUPPOSED to be scary.

Then you start to realize they are just a "vehicle" to attract views to a show that is about nothing less than "the end of the world as we know it" due to any sort of catastrophe,and what the survivors have to go through and the adjustments they will have to make to survive and bring back civilization.

You don't have to watch it long to figure out the other humans are a LOT scarier than the zombies. Hell,the Zombies have the IQ of roaches,and just stumble along at a slow walk. You don't even have to run from them,and they are very easy to kill because they don't even attempt to block any blows.

What they do is pull in the younger viewers who have no clue about survival and MAYBE get a few to contemplate it.

I decided to watch it for the first time around season 4 because I was bored and so many people were ranting about how good it is. Zombies ain't my thing and I couldn't imagine me being interested in a show about them,but damned if the acting,writing,and production wasn't so good that it pulled me right in and I ended up binge-watching it until I was up to date. In fact,it was so good I didn't even realize it wasn't about Zombies until after I had watched a couple of seasons,and then it "clicked".

Right now and for a day or so before today, they are showing The Walking Dead from the time it started.  I have that on while working on a book proposal for an agent.  I would rather have that on than listen to Trump on TV all day long.

The Walking Dead has a two hour intro one on Oct. 22.

It's airing now?  Well, but I guess they would have to start a week early to get 8 years worth of episodes in. 

At least there will be something to watch for the next week, if I want.   Except that it seems every time I turn on a TWD marathon I land on those damn hospital/Beth episodes.

Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I was weak and started watching Fear The Walking Dead again.  And something incredible happened.  The last few episodes were really good---I mean seriously, edge of your seat good.  I hardly believe it.

Really? What if the Christians they  went  after were a re-incarnation of the Jim Jones cult? Or a new Catholic Inquisition?

Although come to think of it,people with your mindset might cheer for a return of "dat ole tyme religion",where the cult officials know what is best for everyone,and enforces their laws with an iron fist and  the occasional pot of flaming oil.

No, I initially did the same thing myself, but like I said, I was weak and went back and watched again.

Stop kneejerking every time Christianity is mentioned, Pete.  Deciding you're not going to listen to your religion being bashed has zero to do with a theocratic rule.  It's a silly comparison.

Sorry, he's got two more seasons.

Season 9 is set to focus on Carl gradually taking over from an injured, probably  dying, Rick, while he (Carl) begins to show signs of madness.  Every indication is that he's turning into another Governor, possibly even eventually another Negan (who Carl killed, finally, in season 8).  In the series finale, Eugene starts babbling on about something, probably Trump, and Carl shots him in the knee.  After letting Eugene whine in pain for several seconds, Carl smiles broadly and shoots him in the head.  Twice.  And with that we know that everything is going to turn out okay in the end.

The Zombies are a little scary at first. After all,Zombies are SUPPOSED to be scary.

Then you start to realize they are just a "vehicle" to attract views to a show that is about nothing less than "the end of the world as we know it" due to any sort of catastrophe,and what the survivors have to go through and the adjustments they will have to make to survive and bring back civilization.

You don't have to watch it long to figure out the other humans are a LOT scarier than the zombies. Hell,the Zombies have the IQ of roaches,and just stumble along at a slow walk. You don't even have to run from them,and they are very easy to kill because they don't even attempt to block any blows.

What they do is pull in the younger viewers who have no clue about survival and MAYBE get a few to contemplate it.

I decided to watch it for the first time around season 4 because I was bored and so many people were ranting about how good it is. Zombies ain't my thing and I couldn't imagine me being interested in a show about them,but damned if the acting,writing,and production wasn't so good that it pulled me right in and I ended up binge-watching it until I was up to date. In fact,it was so good I didn't even realize it wasn't about Zombies until after I had watched a couple of seasons,and then it "clicked".

You just told my own story here, right down to thinking I don’t do zombies so why watch? Then I watched and couldn’t get enough of zombies. LOL.

Are season 7 spoilers allowed? I can’t wait till Rick grabs Lucy and beats Negan’s brains to mush with it. Negan is the quintessential movie villain and I love hating him. I’ve got four more episodes to finish out this season. Gee, since I don’t want to know what happens next I guess I’ll leave now.

Good question about the ammo...I don't see anyone reloading, just a whole lot of "A-Team" type of effects with a few finally getting hit towards the end of the episode.
I can suspend reality for a bit, but that sequence was just a bit too much.
I agree about Jesus, especially after the kitchen scene.  Jesus is putting the entire plan in jeopardy by not killing saviors.  They now have to worry about an enemy in their midst and take care of them.
Ezekiel acting like a fool (positivity) in regards to tactics, pressing on even though they aren't supposed to because they've lost the element of surprise...appears that in the trailer for next episode they get surrounded by some group..."Garbage Pail Kids" maybe?

That could be.  They're one of my least favorite groups on this show.

I can't not like Ezekiel, with his Shakespearean delivery, great voice, and "fake it til you make it, baby" aside.  But yep, he is way too over-confident.  That doesn't bode well at all.

I like him, just not sure how his bravado fits in with the story unless it's to set up some kind of failure or confrontation.  If he's trying to keep morale up, it's done best by ensuring your people know what to do and are being kept reasonably safe by enacting prudent tactics. 

They almost got whacked in the surprise bomb/walker ambush and the abject lack of discipline while tracking the spotter/sentry afterwards indicates that something bad is on the horizon. 

There's just no indication or display of "situational awareness".  The "situation" is that a war is going on, not some stroll through the woods and not looking around, spread out looking for evidence of your enemy's forces.  Those folks should have all been in a picket line of sorts spread out by about 10-15 feet...by being grouped up like that, they're making it easy to get outflanked and surrounded.

The "Garbage Pail Kids" are something of an enigma to me.  Are they just opportunists or true believers?  After Alexandria I guess we're supposed to believe they're "saviors" and it wouldn't surprise me if they come in again on the side of Negan and swing things back into his favor, at least for a while.  Then again, if they're opportunists, will they pick the side they believe is winning or has the best chance of winning?

I don't know what the deal is with Rick and the garbage people. He seems awfully confident that they're eventually going to change sides again.

Jesus can die, too.  He’s so concerned about feeding the Saviors but he didn’t mind swiping food from Rick and Daryl when he met them.  Maggie should have thrown him out along with the killers he’s so worried about.
