1 month to go!!!! Eeeeeek!!!!

Love it so much

episode 1 title

Synopsis:

some promo photos too of episode 1

and it seems episode 2 we're gonna get

Thanks for the updates Nicky. But I'm scared to open the spoilers. Do they give big details away?

nah just a episode title, synopsis for episode 1, and a few promo photos which are otherwise too large


btw a non-spoiler, but more a casting wish, Henry Ian Cusick should do TWD too, the man is a amazing actor, he slayed as desmond on Lost, as marcus kane on the 100 and again slaying with his role on the passage

OK I've taken a look. Thanks!..

Glad oceanside are back. They haven't been shown for a while

yes and also few things i hoped for being there in the upcoming season so yeah that adds to my excitement

like the

Alpha Beta and Gamma are such crap names to be fair

they are commander names, their real names are way different ;)


Ryan Hurst is a badass as Beta anyway, surviving that fall down elevator shaft last season


i do feel like producers have wasted few characters on the pikes like that gang with the biker jackets they seemed interesting i thought

Yeah I agree. The pikes were horrific

But Im still wishing it stuck to the comics of the way Carl died. Imagine if Rick had found Carl's head on a pike?!!!!

Also isn't it weird that rick was gone the whole of the season yet we didn't even realise. The whole 8 seasons before were based on him and he was the face of the show. I kind of miss him but the show has taken on a new direction since

spoiler about a possible character death:

Only a few days to go...... Aaaaahhh

:dance: monday also for me

so hyped for tonight :dance:

Whoop whoop!

.... Was the season opener... Bad? I feel like it was bad :umm2:. The script wasn't good, the delivery was somehow off for a lot of characters (Michonne I'm looking at you) but I think that's because half of her dialogue seemed like it was for a totally different character. Didn't fit her at all so it seemed really forced. I have some major reservations about the cinematography and sound design too. What's going on? It felt really... Soapy. And while TWD has had soapy story elements for years, this is the first time it's felt like it in terms of how it's actually shot...

Hope its just a blip, last season was great. But at this point FTWD is just a far, far better show and I'd rather see the main TWD ended and a couple of key characters siphoned over to Fear than vice versa... And who would have imagined THAT a few years ago :worry:.

I agree it was a tad boring to be honest. But it was just building up the return of alpha which is a bit odd as there wasn't really a mention of how long it had been since they last saw her... Were we supposed to guess? Also what was the titles about before each scene... Wasn't a fan... I was a fan of the satellite though I forgot stuff like that would still be flying round space while chaos was on earth

Also there was mention of Maggie so I'm hoping she makes a return this season

I just want to see more of the world in the Zombie era it just feels like they are in one area..not even a country. It feels small I think expansion is now needed

harsh critics in here :idc: while on thespoilingdeadfans most people rate this first ep a 9 or a 10 out of 10

Totally agree.

Regarding the opener
The whole Negan wise old man, it's just not believable after all the **** he did? Come off it

10 out of 10 is just ridiculous, there have been at most one or two episodes in the entire show that could claim 10/10 (and that's how it should be).

I'd honestly struggle to justify more than 6/10 here.

tbf Negan had saved Judith, Dog in the blizzard last season finale

and honestly i think Alexandria needs Negan as their strategic general against the whisperers, like he gave some serious good advice to Gabriel, that the people in Alexandria need calmth, even if it takes to just fake that


what Alpha, Beta did is already 100 times worse than what Negan had done, murdering dozens and then also putting their heads up on stakes just for some psychological warfare, marking their border

it's not believable from a guy who revelled in beating peoples heads open with a baseball bat, raped women and burned peoples faces. How is what she did worse than Negan, I'm curious

Negan bashed Glen and Abraham's heads in for an almost identical warning and as psychological warfare, and it was made clear that he did that every time he found a new group, so had definitely killed dozens in the same way. Saviors also killed ALL of the men from the beach group when that didn't work (though I think they might have palmed that one off on Simon?).

Still, the point stands, Negan bashed in brains to keep people in line and to enslave them. It's not really any different to cutting off heads.

There's a SMALL chance that they're trying to say he was profoundly changed by the 6(?) years somewhat-isolated in prison which is theoretically possible, but they didn't show anything like enough of it to make it feasible in the show. They could have done an episode in early s9 showing flashbacks spanning those years with a gradual breakdown / change. A complete psychological break and recovery could trigger a drastic personality change but... They just didn't show it so the audience can't really just assume that.

And he "stole" wives from alot of his own men (hate speaking about them like property) but yeah that's how Negan viewed them, treated them like pieces of meat for his own amusement....... definitely can't blame that on Simon

When was the last time we actually see someone dying and turning into a walker it seems such a long time ago its one of the best things on the show, we only see all the same type of walkers now... We aren't seeing fresh walker if that makes sense?

It would have to be an unusual circumstance in the show as it is now, because they would have to go off, die alone, then find their way back to one of the characters to be "seen". They know to pre-emptively stab people in the brain before they turn so when people die now, they don't turn. It would be a bit of a plot hole if they just let them turn.

Yeah but that's a shame it was always a great part

episode 2 tonight :dance:

this one is more about the origins of the whisperers, so we're getting a full background story into how they were formed

the castings for the whisperers so far have been amazing :clap2:

Samantha deserves a emmy for her role as Alpha, it's so convincing how she plays that sadistic villain, more convincing than Negan as villain (whom i like more now)

Ryan a badass mean sonuvabitch, falling down a elevator shaft and surviving, Beta is definitely a great right hand man for alpha

Cassady, glad she turned to the good guys, but she also plays the role of Lydia really well

am curious for , if she'll deliver her role well

I cant stand the way samantha acts, I know I'm in the minority but she just completely overacts? the part imo, even the way she walks as a walker is overacted, she annoys me.

Samantha acts a bit like Zelda Rubinstein from Poltergeist :laugh: i kinda like that for the creepy horror genre

it was very nice seeing how Alpha and Beta first met each other, also Beta's walker skin is from his best friend, so yeah he has been through a lot and that has made him this bit of a psychopathic loner at first, and he thoroughly believes in Alpha's cause

also for the whisperers, the living are dead, while the dead are the living


the birth of Gamma :o wow just coldly saying your sister wasn't a true follower

good acting from Thora anyway :)


also some nice bit of zombie action in the flashbacks, early twd days :D

Yeah it was a good episode last night m. Maybe a bit slow in places but I liked the fact we could develop a better understanding of alpha and beta and actually see alpha does have some feelings left

I didn't mind her at the start but I find her really annoying now, wasn't a fan of a whole episode about her either tbh. This season has started out a bit crap tbh, FTWD is so much better

Ah really, I'm glad I'm not alone then [emoji23]

We watched the first season on FTWD a couple of years ago but then just fell away from it, might give it another go actually
