The Walking Dead

Agree, nice episode...but did nothing to move the story along. Getting a bit fed up with it now!

+1

they are spinning it out, there was no need to ignore the feud. When it finished I said to mrs t8y "so they just went shopping then?"

This episode by the way was written by the guy who has taken over the show for Season 4 onwards

LOVED seeing Morgan back!!1 Hope they bring him to the Prison for an episode!!!

I thought it was a great episode. The slower episodes seem like they aren't doing anything but I think it gives the characters more depth so when stuff happens you care more.

The Walking Dead and The Following are my two favourite tv shows.

Been meaning to start watching The Following.

[t8yman]

The following is fucking awful. How anyone can take that show seriously is beyond me. It treats its audience as if they are idiots. This weeks walking dead was alright. I just get the feeling the entire series is basically 3 episodes of "money shots" with loads of bollocks to build up to those money shots.

I agree (again!) - next week's is building up to be exciting though. I hope. I liked the parallels of the characters this week, (Hershel/Milton, Daryl/other dude, governor/rick) highlighting Andrea's role as an outsider. That was nicely done. How many episodes left?

Those who have read the novels - how far away are we from those now in terms of plot? I'm assuming stuff actually happens in the novels, unlike the tv show right now...

TV series has deviated somewhat from comic book. I'd say we're just under 50% of the way through however.

[Spindles]

While I still enjoy the show it is becoming less "must see" with each passing episode. I can't help but draw parallels with shows like Heroes and Prison break, which went off the boil after a while, then became tedious, then got cancelled.

I hope that I am proved wrong.

The Governor/Prison storyline in the books has not been realised well in the series. People think a simple black and white comic is limited... the tv show's limitations have been royally exposed IMO. No comparison.

THIS. The second half of this season has been dire IMO.

They have wasted this storyline arc, I can't see the prison arc being past this season. 3 episodes left now, last 2 are meant to be something special though.

New issue of the comic is out tomorrow [well today as its past midnight]

Anyone who hasn't read it, I seriously recommend you do

Since Glenn Mazzarra left it's been rubbish, I can't see Scott Gimple improving things in Series 4 - I think it's time to walk away, already my interest is waning. AMC have killed this just like everything else they buy out.

Actually thinking about it, it was flagging even when Mazzara was still there.

Ezekiel?

Loved the new issue, was a HUGE step moving forward, really like the character of 'the King'.

[Wooderson]

Latest one of the book just sees it going from strength to absolute strength.

Yup shame the series isn't matching it.

It simply can't.

[luckysalt]

Today I read that the actor who plays Milton say that no-one has guessed the end of the season yet and that it is a weird finale, meanwhile Andrew Lincoin has said at least 27 people die in the season finale! Damn.

[Wooderson]

27? I thought they were dragging out the prison over two seasons?

[luckysalt]

After this weeks episode [14] yeah Id say they're gunna drag the prison over 2 seasons. Sadly. Drag being the word, although I thought this weeks episode was damn better than last weeks

[t8yman]

The Andrea storyline is boring, and the way the governer is portrayed is stupid (dunno how close to the comics it is?)

I doubt I'm going to bother with the next season, especially if it remains at the prison/woodbury.

Once again, Daryl and Carol and are about the only only characters I don't actively dislike. I dont mind Tyreese too.

[luckysalt]

Great episode tonight! Just watching Talking Dead after it too, shame we dont get that here.

[luckysalt]

Oh man they just showed clips of next weeks finale!

Showed the Governer and about 30+ people all entering the prison grounds but no-one is there, Allen is leading the charge and enters inside the actual prison.

On the advert it shows Governer firing a rocket launcher at the prison tower!
