    They ain't goin' anywhere, we give them big tax breaks.

    I've tried watching that episode twice and fell asleep both times. I don't even think I stayed awake long enough to see Daryl.

    By all indications, the rest of the season they are going to push the limit of what is the most messed-up stuff a cable TV show can get away with doing.

    As close as possible to something like this:

    That was the last straw. I had been irritated with the lack of progress of the overall storyline for over a season and was about to give up as it was when they introduced Eugene. Finally, I thought, after the CDC turned out to be no help, after the prison and little town went belly up, after building up Terminus for a whole season only for it to be nothing of consequence to the overall story, finally, there's that something to look towards. It revived my flagging interest in the show. But when I learned that Eugene was yet ANOTHER shameless plot device to keep me interested for another 3 episodes as they just trudged through Georgia more, I called it. I'm done. They are just going to wander around aimlessly, killing off characters here and recruiting new ones there (while never allowing anything to happen to Rick or his kids, of course--everyone else is fair game), indefinitely. It's just not interesting. Zombie slaying scenes alone won't do it for me.

    *shrug* If you don't like it, you don't like it. I can't say you're wrong, since there is no non-subjective assessments of such things. But I don't mind the track they're on (or the Eugene thing - which was in the comics, too, so it's not something they just made up to irritate you). I didn't like this first after-midseason-break episode - too boring and arty.

    But I'm still into the show in general. It's still doing a great job of showing how things might really be in a post-Zombie-Apocalypse world, and as long as they keep doing that well enough to suit me, I'll keep watching.

    IIRC, I heard somewhere that they anticipate there having been 12 seasons of the show when all is said and done. (And without giving anything away, if they do Nergal right, he should end up making the Governor look like a tame ol' pussy cat. Not to mention that something IS going to happen to one of Rick's kids, if they follow the comics in that respect ...)

    Eh, I liked it. But I'm kind of a loyalist-type, Maggie and Glenn annoy me--but I'm still interested in the other characters and how it all plays out.

    I was never invested in the Eugene story line. I love the show and won't judge this season based on one lackluster show. I found the Terminus story terrifying and Kept me on the edge of my seat. Rick and his family are the main characters..why would they kill them when the show revolves around them?

    They still call the zombies walkers, instead of using Zombie. Its like they are to scared to use the word zombie.

    I think in the comics someone calls them zombies a few times. It's become a thing on the TV show to not use the word, so I doubt they will any time soon.

    They are likely in production right now on the other show, working title is said to be Cobalt, and will be set in California:

    Shooting is expected to start soon on a companion series set in the world of AMC's The Walking Dead, based on the Image Comics/Skybound series from Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard.

    The series will air during The Walking Dead's off-time, increasing the footprint of the massively successful drama and presumably AMC's bottom line.

    But...what do we actually know about it? Not a ton so far, but with a spate of recent casting notices, much more than we did. Here's what we know...and chime in below if there's something we've missed, so we can add it to the list.

    The pilot will shoot in Los Angeles, and apparently take place there as well.

    The Walking Dead companion series for AMC is filming in California, according to a Redditor who received a notification that their neighborhood is being scouted for the project.

    Filming for the spinoff had been rumored to be taking place in Pennsylvania, but even if that turns out to be true, it's possible they could shoot the pilot in California and then move the full series to somewhere less costly.

    About two weeks ago, additional word came that it would be set in California as well.

    Some details on the characters are out there from casting notices.

    Back in September, we got our first sense of the series from some leaked casting notices:

    SEAN CABRERA | A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life.

    CODY CABRERA | Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.

    NANCY TOMPKINS | A thirtysomething single mom to two kids, Nancy looks like the girl next door, but there’s an edge to her.

    NICK TOMPKINS | Nancy’s screwed up teenage son. He’s too old to stay home, too scared to flee.

    ASHLEY TOMPKINS | Nancy’s mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother’s failures. She loves her mom but it’s time to get out of Dodge.

    ANDREA CHAPMAN | A somewhat wilted flower child, fortysomething Andrea — yep, another Andrea! — has retreated to the outskirts of the city to recover after a horrible marriage.

    Finally got through it, it was stupid and no Daryl.

    I also watched tonights episode - they really could've made tonights and last weeks one show and it still would've been boring. I'm kinda mad they made Daryl eat a worm. Maggie (finally) seems upset about her sister - that was annoying. Next weeks episode holds some promise. Who left the water? Are they friendly?

    The guy at the end is the one who left the water, he said he was "a friend". He will likely take them to the Safe Zone.

    edit: This is Aaron in the comic series, he seems like part of a neutral party between Rick's group and Negan's group:

    How about Carol? lol

    Out of everyone there, she's the only one who's playing this smart. I mean, come on... The place is run by a congress critter, you know the whole damned place is wire-tapped!!

    I think the people in the safe zone are straight up, sorta the opposite of Woodbury. The guys who go outside the wall have dealt with walkers, but this group hasn't come across a lot of people, especially ones that show up with tanks chopping off heads. One thing that might be revealed in the next 1-2 weeks is that Deanna's group might be aware of a threat from other people, don't know how to deal with it, so that is why they brought in Rick's group. They will tell him about it when they are sure he will stay.

    The girl who climbs the wall is most likely one of the Wolves who destroyed Noah's town.

    Rick will take that place over, they may spend 1-2 seasons there. In the comic series, they are at the safe zone a lot longer than they were at the prison, and still are.

    I see what you mean, but private property and such...

    It wouldn't make much sense to let an armed gang into your camp without disarming them.

    That being said, they kept all of their knives and swords and Darrell kept the crossbow. Not to mention the house was loaded with potential weapons. Taking the guns seems kind of arbitrary.

    On that note, though... How about Carol fumbling with her weapons? Perfect!

    No, he was still around hiding in the background of some shots. Same thing with Tara.

    I'm thinking one of the 3 guys Deana kicked out, took the gun that Rick hid in the blender (or whatever that was).

    Also I probably wouldn't agree to be filmed, or at least I'd insist that Deana be on camera at the same time, and I interview HER, then she has to give me a copy of it.

    The writers are definitely portraying her character as the smartest of the bunch in this episode.

    I just hope they kill that ex "congressperson".
