The Walking Dead

[luckysalt]

Tonights episode in the US sounds fucking EPIC! [Episode 4] If you have chance I suggest you watch a stream, don't think US clocks have changed yet so could be on at 1am otherwise its 2am.

DONT read this spoiler unless you want to know, its a biggie.

Two regular cast members get killed off tonight

[luckysalt]

WOW.

VERY powerful episode, the best one so far, that was something else.

[themuel]

For just this week I have watched ahead so I'm caught up with America, didn't want any spoilers. Oh my.

[bunique]

That was really grim

Both so sad at the end we've had to watch some Modern Family to cheer us up!

[themuel]

Well it has been shown here in the UK now so... Thoughts? I thought it was an absolute belter of an episode. Exciting, tense, tragic, brilliant.

[luckysalt]

I actually caught the end of the episode again on FX, and it was done just perfectly.

[bunique]

I'm getting really quite anxious about how they're going to feed the bloody thing!

[JBarbour]

Just caught up with the latest episode. I feel like I need to watch a comedy to lighten my mood! Wow that was probably one of the most intense tv episodes I've ever watched. It was epic

Yeah one of the best yet. Poor T Dog. Just when he gets given some good lines he gets eaten. Its a pity Lori has gone, but Rick was a little Ott. After all he has been a real c**t to her. I wish they would kill Andrea off. I am sick of seeing her stupid, startled rabbit, expression.

I did wonder whether I had missed something with Rick and Lori that might be revisited. Even Carl seemed to hate her this series - was that just due to her doinking Shane or was there something else??

I thought Carl got on well with Shane. Rick could never seem to make his mind up. One moment he was ignoring her and the nexttaking her advice to kill the prisoners. For some reason the writers made her unpopular.

[Spindles]

I enjoyed disliking her. I'd recently re-watched season 1 and remembered she's a slag.

Her exit was one of the best things I've seen on TV. So utterly shocking, I would never have believed a TV show would go there and it did.

Carl now has the potential to be one of the best characters on the telly. I can't wait to see how his character developes.

[Wooderson]

In the latest issue of the comic Carl gets a real "moment".

[themuel]

We are a long way behind the comic aren't we?

[Wooderson]

We are a long way behind the comic aren't we?

2.5 series of the show = around 50 issues of the book, which is currently on 104 or something. Current storyline must make writers of the TV show salivate. Scope is huge.

[Wooderson]

Book and TV series arent like for like however. Lot of subtle and not so subtle differences. That f*cking phone ringing not being one of them.

Is that a spoiler..... :-/

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Aye it is :-(

[luckysalt]

Id say the tv show is more than 50 issues behind, its just that theyve rejigged things around on, theres stuff going on thats between issues 20 to 50. They seem to be condensing mass of issues into season 3

[themuel]

Aye it is :-(

I know it's a little detail guys, but PLEASE use spoiler tags for people watching legally, it's not difficult! Thanks

[Wooderson]

HUGE apologies folks. Had no idea.

[luckysalt]

I have to say regarding the comic, I thought with the Negan storyline, after the intial impact I felt like it was going over ground and was going to be a bit stale, but the latest issue has introduced an interesting development

but the comic and the tv series have totally diverged in their storylines - and I thought part of Tony Moore's legal settlement was that it would continue to do so from now on.

Was it not an out of court settlement so we wouldn't know. Did he only do the first story anyway?

[5co77ie]

first #24 story arc he planned out - I thought, I dunno much about the current stopped getting the comic back when we moved and the second series ended. But this story arc is well off what I do have. Before that it kept close-ish to the comics.
