[dijit]

Oh yeah I forgot the missus has that special outfit she makes you wear to watch this

[jsnake]

Hell yeah glad I saw this because I wasn't sure when it started. DVR is set anyways but people always throw out everything on the internet and ruin it. Off and will be watching.

[irratebass]

No spoilers, but it was a weird episode imo, but I enjoyed it and glad to see it back.

I'm irritated that the decided to take out a veteran survivor of a zombie apocalypse with a dumb situation like that. He would know better to clear a room, hell a whole house before deciding to stare at pictures on a wall. I understand they were trying to show he'd "given up"... but after all the years that crap would be ingrained in him, especially since the safety of the other guy with him would be on the line.

Then sending to get help rather than lopping that arm right off immediately?

Then no tourniquet after they finally do lop off the arm?

The whole hallucinating dead people for an hour just seemed like their way of trying to give him a whole hour long send-off... but I would have really rather it had been a quick and brutal death (like Beth), but somewhat logical given his proven ability to survive. They didn't need to drag out the send-off, they needed to make it a little less dumb a mistake.

I think they were trying to convey what Rick said to Carl "You're never safe, no matter what." So I get what they were trying to say.......going back to the comics Tyresse did die by a biter, but not the same way.

My wife actually yelled at the tv "Why didn't they wrap up his arm!!!!???"

I kinda liked seeing them all come back, but I get your point.

Good episode. My kid has been down the slide in the picture of the boys and I have eaten in the pizza shop in another picture of the boys. Neato!

[kelmac07]

Didn't care for this episode at all.

[Victor808]

Well that episode was the definition of "misery ****"....

slow episode. seriously slow. Some good zombie kills, but I just get bored of the constant "look how bad things are getting".

On the up-side, looks like they're following the comics with the arrival of the stranger.
On the sideways-side... what do we think they're going to do with Abraham's cut? I can't decide if they're intending to kill him off with that or if they're throwing us a fake out. They made sure that the cut was in almost every scene...

[kelmac07]

Let's be honest....last weeks episode SUCKED!!

[shilala]

I still haven't finished up last season. The show just kinda tailed off on me.

If you guys want a good Zombie fix, pick up this book.
I've read every zombie book in the world. That one is the best, and that's saying something. There are tons of good Zombie books out there.
This guy has written a number of sequels, I only read one so far. When I get back to Zombie reading, this is where I'll start.
Really, at least download the sample. You'll skip work the next day.

Haven't read Molles. Have you read the Mira Grant Newsflesh series? I liked that one a lot.

They're fun. Less about the zombie apocalypse, and more about how society is dealing with the zombies after it recovers. Same zombies as TWD, anyone who dies will zombify... Government and society has re-established itself in controlled areas, constant testing to move from point to point... it's an interesting story. the first book is excellent...
