[Nicky91]

so the Thora Birch casting as Gamma, is done probably because Lydia had become good, and chose for the living rather than the dead, and this Gamma is one of alpha's closest followers, alongside Beta basically

episode 1 title Lines we Cross

Synopsis:
The group in Oceanside continues to train in case the Whisperers return; tensions are high as the heroes struggle to hold onto their concept of civilization.

some promo photos too of episode 1

https://i.imgur.com/EypTmRL.jpg so we're getting more Nadia Hilker action definitely as Magna

https://i.imgur.com/Ow8Q5gN.jpg

[Nicky91]

and it seems episode 2 we're gonna get a backstory into the origins of Alpha and Beta

[Strictly Jake]

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

[Nicky91]

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

[Strictly Jake]

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

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

[Nicky91]

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 backstories for alpha, beta, i have a feeling it will be used to properly introduce Gamma, thora birch's character her backstory etc

[Strictly Jake]

Alpha Beta and Gamma are such crap names to be fair

[Nicky91]

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?!!!!

[Strictly Jake]

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

[Moniqua]

spoiler about a possible character death:

We have received some information that Kelly (Connie's sister) may have met her end recently. This should have occurred in 10x09 filming. (What WE believe is 10x09)

The information appears to be that Kelly, Connie, Daryl, Jerry, Aaron and Carol trigger a trap set by Alpha involving a rocky waterfall while outside the communities. Rocks underneath the group turn loose -and all but Kelly manage to get their footing again and up to a cave within the waterfall. She either falls to her death, or to the walkers waiting underneath them.

This is unconfirmed and we will update this to confirmed/debunked as soon we can.


i like kelly :(

[Nicky91]

Cailey Fleming (Judith Grimes)

so hyped for tonight :dance:

[Strictly Jake]

Whoop whoop!

[user104658]

.... 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:.

[Strictly Jake]

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

[Nicky91]

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

[user104658]

harsh critics in here :idc: while on thespoilingdeadfans most people rate this first ep a 9 or a 10 out of 1010 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.

[Nicky91]

Totally agree.

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.

[user104658]

How is what she did worse than Negan, I'm curiousThere'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

[Strictly Jake]

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

[Nicky91]

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

Thora Birch's introduction as Gamma, and also how they created the commander like code names for themselves, and Beta's personal life we get some details about him either how he became a ruthless, force to be reckoned with

[Nicky91]

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 Thora as Gamma, if she'll deliver her role well

[Josy]

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.

[Nicky91]

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

[Strictly Jake]

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

[Niamh.]

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

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

[Niamh.]

It gets better season by season, you should give it another go

[DouglasS]

I was going to start fear the walking dead but never did. I watched TWD until the end of season 7 and got bored. I’ve heard from friends though that fear the walking dead has completely changed and for the worse since they dramatically changed the cast to include TWD characters? Might give it a go anyway as seasons 1-4 of the walking dead I did love especially

[Nicky91]

guess you didn't play telltale twd final season then, there it was explained (a more teaser towards these whisperers pre their introduction in the series) also how some of them feel the souls of walkers, same what alpha said in last nights episode, the dead don't have names anymore, all of that is history for them, they move freely across the country

one scene in that game is where you enter a house filled with walkers, and touching a bell, music plays and walkers listen to calm classical music, meaning they still have a personality and not just rotting flesh and bones

i find the whisperers myself, more a cult


and this season has started quite well, both eps 1 & 2 are around the same dates (we see that because of the crashing satellite) so it's a good start to see this specific date from both Alexandria/oceanside/hilltop and the whisperers sides

I disagree with your friends there, I think it's getting better and better

[Natalie.]

FTWD 1-3 was really good, but then they made too many changes and it just keeps getting worse.

I liked this episode of TWD surprisingly, I didn't think I would

[user104658]

FTWD 1-3 was really good, but then they made too many changes and it just keeps getting worse.

I liked this episode of TWD surprisingly, I didn't think I would

Completely the other way round for me; it did get better season-on-season from S1 - 3 however I don't think it found it's own "soul" until the introduction of Morgan, John Dory & June, Althea etc. in S4, and Daniel Salazar was a welcome return this season too.

They cut the dead weight early (Travis and Chris, both annoying, the latter insufferable) and while Madison and Nick were great characters early on, they got stuck in a serious rut. They could have done more with Nick but it didn't seem to be on the cards.

It *is* like a whole new show, but I think Alicia (who got a tonne of character development from S3 onwards after having practically zero in S1 and 2) and Strand and now Daniel provide a decent link to the show's past.

[Nicky91]

Negan and Aaron's scenes :thumbs: also Negan saving Aaron's life :flutter:


Rosita still being in this show :laugh: she's become such a background character now


Carol hallucinating, those scenes were also filmed very great

another good episode, good build up episode, it's working towards something i guess :think:

[Nicky91]

ok episode 4

Michonne & Ezekiel kissed :o


Negan saving Lydia from those emotionally broken highwaymen gang who tried to abuse her, someone had let Negan out, helped him escape :think: although for me personally he doesn't deserve being locked up there, he now saved aaron, Lydia, he is proving to be among the good guys, wanting to make things right


more backstory info about Magna, Yumiko


we saw Judith and Michonne fight walkers together aw :flutter:


and i think something is gonna happen next episode, since we heard someone from oceanside on the radio calling to Michonne (her, judith and luke travelling to oceanside)

[Nicky91]

my fave characters from episode 4 are Lydia, Negan, Judith and Daryl

[Strictly Jake]

I feel this series is pretty great so far and I like how they have reintroduced music back into the program it feels like old times

Last weeks was a brilliant episode

This one wasn't as good but it's a good lead up to the whisperers war

And I bloody love negan so much

[user104658]

To be fair; the last episode was actually a very good episode, hoping it's back on track. I'm still amazed that they managed to pull Daryl back from the brink of being a completely one-dimensional character for several seasons into a one of the more well rounded characters on the show :think:. Aaron/Negan scenes have been great too tbh. They even managed to create an actual realistic, character driven scene between Eugene and Rosita which up until now hasn't been hitting home at all as a storyline.

And although I know it's utterly unrealistic - I'm totally here for Ninja Judith with her little katana :joker:. Zombie-killing machine. Just send her off into Whisperer territory alone, she'll come back with Alpha and Beta's heads in a backpack.

Oh god the music this episode really annoyed me, that counting thing, it was really distracting

Meh crappy episode. Highlight was Judith the walker Slayer

[user104658]

I'm telling you, she could sort it all out. They'd be like "Why is this little kid out here on her own? Let's capture her and OH MY GOD SHE'S KILLING EVERYONE!"

[user104658]

"I'm going to be your additional ears Michonne :)"
*Judith hands Michonne a sack*
"Judith wh... what is this?? Is this a sack full of actual ears??"
"Those are the whisperers ears yes :)"

[Jessica.]

That kiss was do cringe, I hated it.

I'm glad that negan went to the whisperers because he's disposable

I can’t believe Rosita called her baby Coco

Eugene is so stupid, I hate him

[Strictly Jake]

Well that was a great episode

And I adore negan so much

[Nicky91]

good episode, Negan's first encounter with whisperers, and also him proving he has changed for the good when not giving in to brandon's savior thoughts anymore, also fab how enraged he was when brandon killed that mother and son


some for next episode one picture we see beta and then it might be Lydia on her knees before him, i am wondering who brought her there, ''the mole'' and i'm trying to find out who that might be :think: i have siddiq, dante as my suspects and mostly onto dante as i don't quite trust him

we see Negan being brought to whisperer campsite, so we will get his first conversation with Alpha probably, and he has the advantage that he can tell he was locked up at Alexandria, so he can strategically survive it there, it would be cool if he's the one who kills alpha and brings back her head to michonne and others

Is Dante the doctor? Because I haven't trusted him at all since we have seen him. There is something off about him

I don't mean Siddiq I mean the other doctor

[Nicky91]

Is Dante the doctor? Because I haven't trusted him at all since we have seen him. There is something off about him

I don't mean Siddiq I mean the other doctor

yes, Siddiq's only problem is that he's got a bit of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from being only survivor at the barn but other than that i trust him a bit more than Dante


and someone did give alpha information about them having crossed their border 3 times or at least that's what i think, how is she otherwise supposed to know this precisely


and Lydia would never do that, since she's basically against her mom's group

[user104658]

If it goes with the comics,

Negan does kill Alpha, which sparks an all out war against the communities lead by Beta. HOWEVER... obviously the show doesn't always go with the comics, and I have a strong suspicion that in the show Negan will kill Beta and the war will be lead by Alpha. She's obviously the much more developed villain of the two. And I'm pretty sure that Alpha is going to be killed by Carol.

[Niamh.]

Ugh Negan back to his annoying self at the end, even the stupid voice is back

nah, i have more and more belief that Alpha might go down in mid season finale, and second half of season 10 it being the war with Beta as whisperer leader, and we getting a Beta vs Daryl part 2 fight too

oh and btw it was revealed Lauren Cohan (Maggie) does return in this season 10 somewhere

[Nicky91]

Negan joining the whisperers, honestly he has a plan (he's friends with Judith, Lydia and he saved aaron's life, also been a bit more on daryl's good side after he saved Lydia from those highwaymen goons)

my thoughts Daryl had let Negan out, possibly because of wanting a inside man at whisperers camp and no one of theirs can do that, Negan can play it like ''i was locked up for years at your enemy, i got information'' thing

as for the mole, i know who it is now, i figured it out, Dante, and also 11 people at Alexandria with stomach virus, that is suspicious, maybe a silent whisperer attack to weaken them from inside

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah possibly daryl let Negan out. Either way Negan has a plan

But yeah my suspicions on Dante seem to be right at the moment. All those sick people it wouldn't suprise me if he didn't give the correct treatment to make them better and I think the water is making them all sick as the whisperers polluted it with walker guts

So I'm expected a zombie outbreak in camp pretty soon and Dante will make sure it happens

[Mystic Mock]

Why is this show just not killing Negan? No offence meant towards the actor, but he is playing a character that imo feels like it's insulting the audience intelligence.

I don't buy for one minute that this group wouldn't kill Negan after what he'd done to them.

He reminds me of Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer with how stupid and unrealistic his writing is. I mean the show can't even remember that he tried to have Rick saw Carl's arm off when they had him say that "I'd never harm a kid" what do they take us for?!

[Strictly Jake]

Im the opposite i adore negan! I have loved his character arc.

His redemption is possible....when he had large groups of people worshipping him the power went to his head and he was evil. But maybe the amount of time he has been left alone isolated and has been shown mercy and has got to know the likes of judith it could be the case that he has become a man he might have been way back before the walker days....he seems to like young people i think he might have been a youth worker or teacher...has this been explored? But when he had the breakdown in his cell i believe that was genuine he had many years to think about what he did and how much he missed his wife lucille

It begs the question now what negans plan is

But i believe the character arc

And jeffrey is amazing

[user104658]

I don't think Negan's character "change" is actually all that unrealistic, it just feels it because of the time jump. You have to remember that he's been locked up in Alexandria for the best part of a DECADE at this point... But for us, he was out in the world doing horrific things just a 18 months ago so it seems less realistic. I also got the impression 2 episodes ago, that they were saying that even HE didn't realise how much he had changed until the incident with the woman and kid they met... With him being genuinely horrified that the Negan stan had killed them and that he had been "inspired" to do something like that from growing up hearing tales about Negan.

They can overdobthe character a bit at times but I actually enjoy Negan's arc still. There are far worse written characters on the show.

[Mystic Mock]

I get what you guys are saying, but they've still not explained why the main group haven't killed the guy that terrorised them for over a year.

[user104658]

In the comics he's infiltrating the whisperers to gain Alpha's trust, so he can get her on her own, and he kills her. IIRC he then takes her head back to Rick (who is still around in the comics) as a sort of "peace offering". In this case I'd imagine it would be Carol and Daryl.

[user104658]

I get what you guys are saying, but they've still not explained why the main group haven't killed the guy that terrorised them for over a year.They have, that was a HUGE part of the season 7 finale. Rick essentially did "kill" Negan; he injured him badly and he would have bled out without medical attention. But then, because of wanting to respect Carl's dying wish that they "do things better", he told the doctor to save Negan so that they could lock him up instead, proving that they're more civilised than groups like the Saviors et al... And keeping him imprisoned (rather than using capital punishment) was sort of a symbol of that idea.

Yeah the finale was all about them all wanting him dead particularly maggie. They were all pissed at rick for not killing him even rick was annoyed he had to keep him alive but it turned out to be the correct decision. So they did all want him dead for a long time, in fact at one point maggie amd michonne were going to kill him the cell before they decided against it. A long long time has passed since that point

Lets not forget maggie hasnt been in it for all that time who knows how she will feel about negan on her return

Lets not forget maggie hasnt been in it for all that time who knows how she will feel about negan on her returnI reckon that Negan will have killed alpha and a lot of the townsfolk (maybe not main characters but the "extras") will have accepted Negan because of that, and even main characters will be begrudgingly letting him live freely, and Maggie will not be happy.

That reason isn't good enough imo.

Especially when this show is clearly gonna kill Alpha for doing similar things to the group.

It's different tastes I suppose, but to me I think that they needed to do one of four things to make me personally buy Negan's redemption arc.

1. Show a softer side to him in his very first episode so it doesn't look out of character for him to be redeemed later on.

2. In the season 8 finale have the Whisperers show up and attack both groups, leading to Rick and Negan calling a truce and Negan grows a fondness for the group through that way.

3. Have him already have a past friendship with Rick or one of the main group before the Apocalypse so then that person can influence the other characters into trying to reason with Negan rather than trying to kill him.

4. TWD could've had Negan be well connected to factions that were really powerful and Rick's group needs to work for Negan and the rest of The Saviors to get in good with Negan's allies.

To me they took a lazy approach when all of those options above would've been far more interesting imo.

I'm happy that people seem to be enjoying the show though, it's just I wish that the show would think it's storylines through.

[user104658]

I get where you're coming from but mostly only because of Glenn and Abraham, otherwise Negan's actions don't really come close to Alpha's heads-on-pikes. The main difference I guess is that if someone is killed "during a war" that can be somewhat justified. Negan was done by the end of S7... Killing him would have been an execution, it was a pivotal moment setting up what kind of society they want to be going forward.

[user104658]

The FTWD season finale was so grim :bawling:.

[Josy]

Is Dante the doctor? Because I haven't trusted him at all since we have seen him. There is something off about him

I don't mean Siddiq I mean the other doctor

I've been thinking this since I first saw him, where did he even appear from?

I've been quite bored with the last few episodes if I'm honest, its just going so slow, I can't stand Alpha and find her so irritating to watch.

Also Eugene is such a ****ing idiot wanting to dislose his info and location etc to that random woman on the radio.

I thought it would be quite interesting if he heard Rick or even overheard some radio conversations from the helicopter.

Which brings me to my final thought WHY ARENT WE HEARING ANYMORE ABOUT THE HELICOPTER

[Strictly Jake]

I knew it. I flipping knew it..

I was so right about Dante

Noooooo Sidiq

There's a trilogy of movies starring Rick coming out starting (I think) next summer, which will explain the helicopter and where Rick ended up. I believe Michonne is leaving the main show too, and will probably be in the movies at some point (though probably not the first one).

[Strictly Jake]

Where do I even start with that mid season finale???!!!!




Firstly it was brilliant.

I have wanted to see someone turn into a walker for such a long time and it finally happened again. I thought siddiq was still alive for a second and then realised what was happening. The fact he was about to eat his own baby was terrifying

Then onto Mary the Whisperer was she part of the plan of trapping them? I cant believe they all fell for it. How are they going to get out of there?!

Some really cute moments between Eugene and Rosita and Carol and Daryl

Father Gabes going absolutely mental on Dante? I wanted Dante to live a bit longer

Then onto the biggest sadness of mine. I hadnt even realised the mid season finale had come around. I thought there was one more episode left....but then when michonne was saying goodbye to Judith I realised what was happening....my favourite character was in her last ever scenes on the program and it was such a mediocre episode for her she spent most of it talking to one of the worst characters, Luke and looking around a library? And yeah she might have said goodbye to Judith but how has she not realised that she had already abandoned one of her kids and then abandoned him even more without saying goodbye

Rick must have a thing about neglectful mothers

Anyway yeah Im not happy she is gone

Also not too happy carol was so dumb to fall for Alphas plan

But a good episode nonetheless

Would have liked negan to make an appearance though

Also I think Lydia has had everyone fooled all along I think she is playing everyone and is still very much team alpha but we shall see...I was right about Dante so who knows

Edit: Just read online that michonne will be in the second half of the season...thankfully it wasnt her last episode

[Nicky91]

season 10 will resume (today in america, tomorrow for UK and also for me and plenty other dutch fans)

Negan gaining alpha's trust :clap1:


but WTF Negan & Alpha having sex :o :o


Jerry having 2 near death experiences, also one moment he made me laugh ''practically him saying i'm too big for narrow spaces'' :laugh:


was a very good episode

[Niamh.]

Great episode, I was getting serious panics watching them crawl through those caves, I'm pretty claustrophobic though :p Carol is such a liability ffs

That scene with Negan and Alpha my eyes burn

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah alpha and negan was grim

[Nicky91]

that is part of a bigger plan, gaining alpha's trust


also Negan didn't really escape from Alexandria, haven't read spoilers myself (i mean from thespoilingdeadfans site) but my theory is Daryl had opened the cell door for him, i mean you need someone from the inside with the whisperers someone who can win over their trust and none of other Alexandria/hilltop group could manage to do that better than Negan with his own ''saviors'' experience

also was clever to take down Gamma like that


as for who'll die in that cave, hmmmm i kinda feel like Connie, in other promo footage you saw Daryl being quite sad, angry so i can see them killing off Connie rather than Magna, just to get Daryl into his most aggressive mode towards whisperers, and i kinda want a Daryl vs Beta fight part 2

[Strictly Jake]

Is it part of gaining her trust though? Because he sure didnt initiate it and he sure as hell wouldnt have been able to say no without her cutting his testes off! So I think he had to kind of go along with it whilst probably enjoying it. I mean negan is a freak after all

[Josy]

I'm not too bad with it but the part where poor Jerry got stuck was hard viewing :joker:. Although, when the smaller characters were having to squeaze through I have to amdit I was thinking, how will he fit?? And also why on earth was he trying to fit through with his equipment still on in the first place :think:.

I mean... saying no would have put his life at risk... and not seeming into it would probably have put him in the bad books too, in an already dangerous situation. I think Negan was technically raped? :umm2:

In the comics it's a totally random character that dislikes Rick & co who lets Negan out of his cell, but that character doesn't even exist in the show and Daryl doesn't exist in the comics, so it could have been changed to be Daryl (though the motivation would be different; basically to save him from the Alexandrians who increasingly wanted him dead, as he "owed him one" for saving Lydia.

I also think while it will still be Negan who kills Alpha, the reasons will be different in the show. In the comics he does it more or less in cold blood, because he wants to rejoin Alexandria and feels that he'll be accepted if he brings back Alpha's head. In the show I think Lydia will end up back with the Whisperers at some point and something will happen so that Alpha will attack her / want her hurt or killed (she might try to leave again, or sabotage them) and Negan will then kill Alpha to get Lydia out.

You should watch "Buried" with Ryan Reynolds. Think "147 hours" but he's buried in a box and has a mobile phone (so he can call out and talk to people, but doesn't know where he is to be able to tell anyone)... I've never felt so claustrophobic in my life BUT it is also a genuinely very good film :umm2:.

[user104658]

In psych terms, I think there's probably a very strong instinctual reaction to seeing someone "stuck" or like they might get stuck, as the obvious lizard-brain reaction would be "If they're stuck, I could get stuck!" ... so probably a very strong "flight" reaction - you want to get far away from it and into open space as fast as possible.

Good start to the second half of the season.

However, last night's episode was quite dumb. If you're being realistic, Daryl and Beta both should have died. The opportunity to finish Beta off by shooting him in the head was right there, and Alpha had so much time to kill Daryl but instead decided to piss about. Make it make sense!!!


It's sadly obvious that they're setting Father Gabriel up to die come the end of the season. :(

Episode 1 was brilliant, episode 2 was **** and I agree very unrealistic, as if you wouldn't shoot Frankenstein in the head

The fact we know nothing about him (apart from the fact he was in that rehabilitation centre I think) makes him all the more menacing and less human.

Beta not getting killed was that classic horror movie trope; the psycho is KO on the floor but no one shoots him or hits him with a shovel or whatever to make sure he's really dead.

With Daryl and Alpha though, Alpha was also injured and bleeding out at the time and couldn't get across the building to where he was to finish him off. When she did eventually try to, she passed out (presumably from blood loss). Basically if Lydia hadn't patched Daryl up, and other Whisperers hadn't found Alpha and patched her up, they would both have died there on the floor... neither could really do anything at that point.

My real question is... how did tiny Lydia manage to move 200-pound Daryl out of there and off into the forest?? :joker: He would have been a completely dead weight... and while he was quite skinny back in S1, he's been packing on muscle since then! I think *I* would struggle to move him and I'm a 6'2 bloke :umm2:. Lydia just lobs him over her shoulder and strolls out?

Yeah I get the whole classic horror movie thing haha :laugh: which I guess is fair enough considering it was Judith who had the gun, but still!

And with Alpha, I still believe she had ample opportunity to kill Daryl. Yeah she was badly hurt, but she could've followed the walkers towards him and just end it there and then.

I agree with you about Lydia, that was just silly.


Was this possibly the closest Daryl has came to death though? :omgno:

With Alpha I think the point was that she shouldn't be moving at all if she wants the best chance at surviving (and knew it), the only reason she does eventually move is because he taunts her by talking about Lydia, and she almost dies because of it.

I agree about Daryl's hair, he's the "pure survivalist" character of the show but he doesn't have his hair as short as possible? Doesn't make sense. Realistically he'd have a #1 all over... or if he did want it the way it is, he'd have it tied back in a tiny ponytail when "in the field" like his character in Death Stranding (the hair in that is the same as Daryl's when loose)

https://medias.spotern.com/spots/w640/286/286894-1578234471.jpg

Applies to every character with long hair though really... makes no sense... zombies would be grabbing at it constantly so any character with long hair would have it tied up whenever they're outside the walls. Michonne's dreads make no sense at all! They'd be so easy to grab :think:

If they're saying that an artery was hit, a tourniquet will stop the bleeding but it needs to be stopped properly and the tourniquet removed relatively quickly or he'll either die or lose the leg :think:. He seems to have slept it off :joker:. A good nap, that'll fix it!

Oh also even if it wasn't an artery, he has a deep tissue injury from a dirty walker-killing knife and would get a very nasty infection very quickly if the wound isn't professionally cleaned + antibiotics straight away. Hopefully Lydia will wheelbarrow him to Alexandria or Hilltop at running pace...

Well I actually loved that episode. Yeah it was cheesy and yeah unrealistic but it has good scare moments and I have missed that on the show. This series as a whole, the first section of the series included has been a great improvement.

Yeah Alpha and Beta could have both easily have been killed but we have a lot more storywise to go with the whisperers. Just as long as it doesnt drag as much as the I am Negan days did!

Nicky you mentioned a backstory for Beta, didnt we have that in the backstory for Alpha. He didnt want to kill his son even though he was a zombie and the face he is wearing now is his sons

Was it his son? I thought it was just his BFF. She met him in a rehab facility, it's implied that he was famous pre-apocalypse but ended up in rehab/psych facility (so he was already a bit unhinged BEFORE all the zombies, basically) and he developed a close relationship with a staff member, who he then "kept alive" in walker form until eventually he had to kill it (and started wearing the face as a mask).

Main difference from the comics is that he's a famous NBA basketball player in the comics, rather than a musician. I assume they changed it because TV Beta isn't really built like a basketball player.

[Nicky91]

thoroughly enjoyed that episode last night :love:

Negan is clearly playing Alpha, first testing her if she wants to listen to his ideas of ''people are resources'' but she has clearly shown she only wants to destroy and kill

also he was pretty much hesitant at first to shoot that Arrow, but you don't have much of a choice at that point otherwise you'll end up killed yourself on the spot


liked Lydia/Carol conversation, Cassady is one talented actress i must say :love:


next episode we get another DJ flashback and also more of Negan's plan, which we have heard in a teaser what he says to Aaron when Aaron screams at him, ''relax i have a plan'' soo i think/also hope Negan kills alpha next episode

[user104658]

I think it was strongly hinted in the preview that Negan will kill Alpha soon; either the next episode, or he'll at least isolate her in the next episode to kill her soon after.

[user104658]

I also agree that the actress who plays Lydia is one of the better young actors they've had on the show. Henry was awful and let's face it... poor Coral was never really great either.

[Babayaro.]

I really hate that the comics exist lol (that sounds stupid bc without them we wouldn't have the series) because pretty much all of the big deaths don't come as a shock.

[Babayaro.]

Also, that episode was better than the first two. It had a very 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' feel to it.

Ezekiel is as good as dead and I imagine he will be the biggest casualty from the fight. Hopefully they throw in a few surprises too.

I really hate that the comics exist lol (that sounds stupid bc without them we wouldn't have the series) because pretty much all of the big deaths don't come as a shock.

To be fair, they've thrown enough curveballs now for nothing to be sure. Andrea was of course an early one (as far as I know she's STILL kickin' in the comics; she became Rick's new partner rather than Michonne). And there's been Carl, Rick (disappearing, he's not actually dead of course), Jesus... all still alive and well. And people who HAVE died in comics not being dead (yet), e.g. Ezekiel died in the comics at the point where the tiger died on the show, and Rosita was one of the "heads on a stick" at the border... I guess replaced by Enid who wasn't in the comics at all.

You can really only be 50/50 that Negan actually WILL kill Alpha. I think he probably will, because it's the only real way Negan can return to Alexandria without being locked straight back up or killed, but there's also the chance they'll flip it so that it's Beta he kills with Alpha continuing to lead the Whisperers (in comics, Alpha dies and Beta takes over to avenge her death).

[Babayaro.]

:fc: Judith gets eaten by a walker

[Babayaro.]

In all seriousness though, I hope Daryl dies. He's been really good this season but I think his story arc has kind of come full circle now. Him going out in a blaze of glory would be way more impactful than Ezekiel, which is likely to happen.

Never in a million years gonna happen though. He is invincible.

[Nicky91]

i can see Ezekiel dying in this battle, and yes cancer is never really a good omen in shows like this

can see them giving him a heroic death, him saving Carol or the children or something like that :think:

[user104658]

I thought the point about cancer was an interesting one to cover though. He pointed out that the kind of cancer he has was considered "not that serious" in the pre-walker world... very high (95%+) survival rate with a surgery and a bit of light chemo. But post apocalypse without a fully functional operating theatre, specialists and chemo drugs... a death sentence.

Reminded me of the part in "The Stand" where they have to try to give some poor guy an appendectomy when they don't even have a doctor available and he (obviously) dies. 99.9% of people with appendicitis in "the normal world" have it whipped out and are fine a week later but without a surgeon... a burst appendix = death.

Of course they do have their unrealistic parts though, like Daryl hobbling into battle when he had a deep tissue wound a few days earlier and would realistically need to be in bed, pumped full of antibiotics, or he would end up septic in no time.

[Nicky91]

and the episode after this battle, is the one which is Michonne's last episode

[Strictly Jake]

Just watched it last night. One of the best episodes for a long time. It was scary and emotional too. I cried twice!! Carol and lydia talking and carol and daryl talking, oh wait no I cried 3 times, when judith and daryl were talking <3

[Babayaro.]

I've always wondered how they will eventually kill off Negan...


Because if you're being realistic (it's a show about zombies I know), Maggie will not live peacefully with him about, no matter how much he has changed (icr how she felt towards him when she left).

I think having Maggie kill Negan in a secluded area with just those two, will be the best way for him to go. Negan knows he is going to die and accepts his fate. Maggie pulls the trigger and that's it.

[user104658]

It's very possible I think. He'll have truly changed and will have helped them in some great way, she will even acknowledge that he's changed, and that if it wasn't Glenn it would be different, but it was Glenn and will kill him anyway. He will in a resigned way accept that she's going to and tell her that he "gets why" before she does it. And then she'll be stoically conflicted afterward.

umm, Negan has saved Judith, Dog, Aaron now so yes he has changed since he was defeated by Rick and when he got a second chance, he also wanted to make alpha see there was something else than killing the hilltop members with his ''people are resources'' ideas but she didn't listen at all so yeah that shows where Negan and Alpha are different and Alpha more pure evil


working on taking down the whisperers, for Carol, i mean Carol might've opened his celldoor someone thinks that

[Babayaro.]

I do watch the show Nicky :laugh:

[user104658]

Welp, bye Alpha :umm2:. So turns out not only did Carol open Negan's cell - she actually SENT him specifically to assassinate Alpha. I think Negan was essentially trying to see if Alpha could be redeemed though... because that would help him to believe that he "Really" is redeemed, if he could help her to see a better way, too... but after wiping out Hilltop and then refusing to give up on the plan to turn Lydia into a walker, he finally had to just go through with the original plan.

All in all I enjoyed the episode. Poor traumatised Judith, making her first human kill and then having to stab her buddy in the brain on top of that.

[Strictly Jake]

Woah woah I had to turn that spoiler off quick. Its not on until tonight!

[Strictly Jake]

I dont know if its because im in an emotional and anxious state anyway but yet again another episode that I have been blubbing in. Judith is such a great actress <3 <3

[Niamh.]

I love judith too [emoji173]

[Babayaro.]

I forget that Alden is the last remaining Saviour (excluding Negan and any nameless character/extra).

[Babayaro.]

Surprised that Ezekiel survived all of that tbh. I'm intrigued to see how they handle his inevitable death, because they could so easily have given him Earl's one.

[Nicky91]

Negan :clap1: :clap1:

also quite emotional story about his wife


knew he wouldn't actually put Lydia in any danger tbh after he had saved her from those highwaymen, remember


Earl :sad: he's with Tammy and Ken now


Beta killing that one whisperer who saw his face, makes me think he likes to forget about his past

[user104658]

Beta killing that one whisperer who saw his face, makes me think he likes to forget about his past

Beta is (was) famous; a basketball player in the comics, a famous singer (band frontman I think) in the TV series. He doesn't want anyone to know who he was.

I really want Daryl or someone to eventually see his face, maybe during the final confrontation with him or something, and be like "WTF... I was a fan! ..." :joker:

[Nicky91]

proper Michonne sendoff episode :clap2:


also nice even though flashback hallucinations we saw Rick, Carl, Abraham, Andrea, Glenn again

[Cal.]

I wish they brought Andrea back from the dead :( <\3

[Babayaro.]

proper Michonne sendoff episode :clap2:


also nice even though flashback hallucinations we saw Rick, Carl, Abraham, Andrea, Glenn again

It wasn't a proper send of at all.

That whole episode was all over the place and the hallucinations thing was just stupid.

If Michonne's actress wasn't confirmed to be leaving (Rick too) then I'd be more positive as can you imagine how good a season of Michone + a few others searching for Rick would be?? Now we're not getting that and instead it will just be in an uneccessary movie.

Worst episode of season 10 by far.

[Babayaro.]

Michonne, Rosita, Magna, Yumiko, Daryl and **** it, Alden, all go off to find Rick

Aaron, Maggie and Carol stay at home to lead everyone.

[Nicky91]

It wasn't a proper send of at all.

yes we will get this Michonne, Rick storyline in the movie, and for the series main focus seems to be on Carol, Negan, Daryl and yes the return of Maggie

[Strictly Jake]

It was a strange episode and im sad to see michonne gone. But the end intrigued me

[Babayaro.]

welp :skull:

[Nicky91]

loved how my wish came true this last episode, Beta's origins as country singer so :clap1:

''Half Moon'' was his stage name


again Negan, Daryl scenes very great


introduction of Princess :love: kween, i got this whole mad max steampunk vibe from her, liking the look already, hope she got a badass personality too


moments of laughter too for me, 2 walkers at one car in that new city, one stuck at steering wheel, and one police officer walker :laugh:

moment of tears: ezekiel having to put down his horse who got bitten :(

[Nicky91]

https://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Paola-Lazaro-1.jpg

:flutter:

[Moniqua]

Princess already has me way more intrigued than she did in the comics.

[Nicky91]

last night was a great cliffhanger episode for sure

loved Princess, Ezekiel, Eugene & Yumiko their scenes with the minefield and the garage


us seeing Dog again :flutter:

Negan & Lydia's conversation and hug :love: Negan liked some of Alpha's good bits however she was a dangerous threat and needed to be stopped, still sad for Lydia how she still lost her mom


Beta and that horde of walkers arriving near the tower, great cliffhanger ending, makes me hyped for when the season finale eventually comes


also Maggie's return in the season finale

[user104658]

I actually thought it worked OK as an "old fashioned" season finale. Used to be more common for shows to have the last episode end on a huge cliffhanger and then the first episode of the returning season be "the big episode". It's a more recent thing for the season finale to be "the big event".

In viewership terms I think it makes more sense this way - you're far more likely to draw in the audience for the next season if the opening episode is the main event. Though I guess the risk is, if you start the season on a big event episode then the rest of the season struggles to hit the same high.

[Nicky91]

we get 6 more season 10 episodes, and season 11 has been moved to 2021

Great news

[Nicky91]

''A Certain Doom'' episode will still be the sort of Finale to round all of that up with the whisperers

so we get one on october 4th (october 5th for me probably in Netherlands, hope our channel FOX is also aware of this)


these 6 extra episodes are planned for 2021, so i am thinking like begin next year around end of January, start of February were actually planned to be the episodes for season 11, but since that is just impossible to complete in time, they do it like this, and create more eps for s11 later on to fill those gaps

i mean people are kinda already hyped with Maggie's return and this is kinda the best decision producers could've made i guess


post-production for the finale ep, was just last minute details but they couldn't do that bc of lockdown at first, those 6 eps were also filmed, and needed editing, last production bits only

and now filming is possible again under correct covid regulations/measures they can continue with work for season 11 and delaying that onto late 2021 gives them also bit of extra time too

some latest talks about the ''a certain doom'' ep, put it in spoilers just to be cautious

[user104658]

So we get the season 10 original finale in October, a 6 ep mini-series in (I assume) spring 2021 and then season 11 starting Autumn 2021?

[Nicky91]

So we get the season 10 original finale in October, a 6 ep mini-series in (I assume) spring 2021 and then season 11 starting Autumn 2021?

no not a mini-series it will be part of season 10 still somehow (likely to be begin or mid february to begin March)

and season 11 delayed until autumn 2021 you are correct there

[Nicky91]

this is best option Angela and her team could come up with i guess under these circumstances to still give the people some content

i mean these 6 were meant to be first 6 eps of season 11 at first but due to it all having been halted not enough time to resume work on other eps of that season, so 6 extra eps for season 10, and start over new with season 11 (so like this they can round-up some storylines now, and begin more fresh with the new season either)

and they need to provide content, because without that they (the channel in america AMC) would face economic troubles

[user104658]

All the channels are in the same position... Most autumn-start shows are absent this year.

No spoilers until Wednesday Nicky, I probably won't get a chance to watch it before then :nono:. Maybe in my lunch break on Tuesday I guess. Monday is booked solid with Zoom meetings :bawling:

[Nicky91]

i won't spoil a thing lol after monday (when it comes onto our tv channel)

sunday we got a little season 10 recap marathon on that channel

[Nicky91]

was nice rewatching most of this until ep 16 again

very great idea by our FOX channel :love:

[user104658]

OK you can spoiler now I just watched it.

Overall a very good episode, the scene at the cliff was great and Maggie's return alongside, apparently, "The Judge" from Far Cry: New Dawn :think:

https://gamewith-en.akamaized.net/img/104314f6577cec56748a0bd3d8de1c7f.jpg

Who is under the mask? Feels like it must be someone we know...

Beta's demise was boring, I was hoping for a big face-off between him and Daryl or even him and Negan but it was over in seconds, Negan luring him out of the herd and then Daryl sneaking in at the side to stab him in the face :joker:. Oh well. Bye Beta. I feel like they've played it safe once again though... no deaths of anyone we actually care about :shrug: just some Redshirts and the one from Oceanside whose name I don't even remember.

The Stormtroopers at the end was... interesting. Not sure about the costume tbh :joker:... although it WAS nice to finally see a group using full-cover body armour which obviously just makes ****ing sense in a Zombie apocalypse!

[Nicky91]

feeling hyped for the 6 extra episodes of season 10 then, begin next year

[Nicky91]

Commonwealth army ending i knew it that they would give us that open ending, thank god we will get those begin of next year, and also nice they add them to this season since this is not a great episode for a ''finale'' maybe end of whisperers arc but we need somewhat more powerful end of a season bits, maybe we might get that with this commonwealth

kinda perched we get to see Stephanie now


Connie is with Virgil now


i know we are getting Maggie/Negan scenes, i am wondering what she might think of him also having helped out a lot against whisperers


the scenes of them walking through the herd covered in walker guts is awesome, i mean i had to do this little trick too in telltale's TWD season 2 game


the mysterious guy next to Maggie, hmmm might be someone we know, but nevertheless he can fight really well, maybe this is someone from Georgie's group, since we last knew that was where Maggie headed off to when she had left


episode score as a normal episode 9.0

if it would've been a season finale 7.0

[user104658]

I feel like the only reaon they would put a mask on Maggie's ninja friend would be to have a "big reveal" later and there would be no point in that if it wasn't someone we've met before. I can't really think who it could be, though.

Feat The Walking Dead is starting S6 next week which is nice, I thought it was probably screwed by Covid but I guess they must have already had filming done before April? :think:

Heath? He kinda disappeared and we never heard much more about it

[user104658]

What about...

Heath? He kinda disappeared and we never heard much more about it

I'm pretty sure the real reason the character left was because the actor was leaving the show... and the in-universe explanation was that he had been taken by Jadis and given to the "Helicopter people" like Rick. Which I suppose doesn't make it impossible that he's found his way back but I'd have thought, if he is going to appear again, it'll more likely be in the Rick spin-off movies as they (presumably) ended up in the same place.

I've also just read that there's supposedly going to be a Daryl and Carol spin-off series in 2023 :joker:. Here for it being a rom-com. A zom-rom-com. :hehe:

[Strictly Jake]

So when is this actually back as a series? I was so hyped to watch the finale last night and I really did enjoy it. But then realised there wasnt anymore episodes coming up

season 10 is also on Netflix now


and the extra episodes once aired on tv everywhere, they will be made available for netflix either i had read

[Nicky91]

currently our channel FOX is at season 2, where we just got introduced to Hershel

even though i've already seen it, its still nice just to see how young they all were back then (Carol, Daryl, Maggie) and a nice distraction from the depressing news

[Nicky91]

FOX here last night was at season 2 finale, season 3 episode 1

still very nice to see, nice filler of these months until March 1st with extra eps of season 10

tomorrow episode 17 :dance2:

[Nicky91]

ep17

great to having seen some Maggie action again alongside Daryl, Maggie meeting Kelly for the first time :love: Negan - Maggie interaction now like very awkward


new group of villains called Reapers with a ''leader'' i think who goes by the name of Pope, and the attacker's last words to maggie, ''pope has marked you for death'' i'm like ok, i somehow get the feeling we will see plenty more of them in next few episodes

new character introductions, so we got Cole, seems like Maggie's right hand man now, very loyal to her and more like a scout for her too

and we got the masked man's intro, Elijah, and apparently he's been through a lot, Kelly and him were bonding a bit, how he lost his sister (so he can relate to what Kelly feels right now when still trying to find Connie)

hershel jr :love:

the episode ended with Maggie's return in alexandria, where most are repairing the damage Beta & whisperers had left behind

[Nicky91]

ep18

we're getting some Daryl flashbacks from when he left the group after Rick disappeared, where he fell in love and had history with some woman ''Leah'' and how he got such a strong relationship with Dog, in present day more Carol/Daryl time

[Nicky91]

ep18

was nice to see about Dog's origins Leah was his first owner, was born right after her own son had been bitten and died, Leah/Daryl had a on/off relationship, and she just left after one argument, never to be seen again

also Daryl really kept searching by the river for Rick, had some supplies in secret handed to him by Carol either, how she was the one who also informed him how Maggie had left with Hershel jr with Georgie at that time


dog as a puppy so cute :love:


again a very nice episode, also bit emotional

[Cherie]

I have totally given up on this show, can't recall when I stopped, is it worth watching again Nicky?

[Nicky91]

in tonights episode, picking up where we left with Commonwealth army surrounding Ezekiel, Princess, Eugene, Yumiko

[Nicky91]

quite a dark episode regarding commonwealth, but also nice seeing more of Princess

few moments where she was hallucinating thinking Ezekiel, Yumiko, Eugene were in other train wagons with her

this promises something for the final season tbh



next ep is another one with Daryl, Carol, Dog, now we'll see Jerry again, idk who else


the ep after that the backstory of Negan & Lucille :dance:

[Nicky91]

last nights ep :love: :love:

back to basics survival


Carol/Dog scenes :clap2: also Carol killing all those walkers on her own :love:

I haven't watched at all this season, is it worth a binge?

[Niamh.]

I haven't watched at all this season, is it worth a binge?

It feels very disjointed because of the gaps and finale episodes are fillers because apparently they were supposed to be part of the next season? It might work better as a binge watch though. If Season 11 is the last season then I would binge if I were you, you've come this far :laugh:

[user104658]

Oh OK fair enough. Any date on when Season 11 will be?

I think they decided to make it a "normal season" for the final season (hence using these episodes as sort of a "Season 10 epilogue") sooo it should be just like pre-Covid-times. Part one should be October/November, pause over Christmas season, part 2 in Feb/March/April.

I do still enjoy the show for what it is, it's not a BAD show and still very watchable, it just isn't what it was in the earlier seasons. I've been doing a rewatch and recently watched seasons 1 and 2... ... ... it was just an overall better show back then :shrug:.

But isn't that the way all too often.

[user104658]

The above said...

Episode 19 with Gabriel and Aaron was a great piece of standalone telly. Robert Patrick was excellent as always, he really needs a meatier villain role somewhere. Obviously not in TWD now :joker:

Unless he was a triplet :hehe:

I haven't really been overly impressed with any of the extra episodes tbqh, haven't watched this week's yet which is also a good indicator of it not holding our interest as we've always watched every ep of TWD as soon as we've had a chance.

I do understand the need for the back stories and it's always good to see character development but saying that I honestly find these episodes we've had to just scream 'look these were filmed during covid rules and restrictions it's the best we could do'

Last weeks ep was the worst IMO

This weeks one is very filler-y too but it was better than last weeks just because it was about Carol and Daryl and I like them more
