Spoiler:

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

[Nicky91]

and it seems episode 2 we're gonna get

Spoiler:

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

like the

[Strictly Jake]

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:

Spoiler:

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

.... Was the season opener... Bad? I feel like it was bad . 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 .

Totally agree.

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

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

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.
