Did you watch?

For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

I am usually one of the first to post something after the episode airs.... Disappointing at best.

How are you disappointed in the writing this season? The first 3 episodes have been a really strong arc, and this was a weird, disjointed episode, but not bad by any stretch, IMO. Gobs of gore (and most of it not zoms), necessary character development to build tension for the final scene. It really struck me as more of a Lost episode than a TWD episode, but, I didn't think it was that bad.

My complaint the last 2 seasons is how they have stopped having pieces of everyones story in a lot of episodes. Its either all beth, all terminus, all carol & tyrese, or all ricks group per episode. I understand they were going for suspense holding out on where beth has been I just wish it was mixed in a little bit.

First episode was awesome, everything after that has been "meh", at best. Last night's felt as though it was written by an 8 year old.

And the sooner they kill off Beth, the better. I always suspected she was a really bad actor but her parts in the show were always in bits and pieces and so it was hard to tell if it was her or the parts written for her. Last night proved she is a terrible actor. I have Halloween props that are better actors than her. laugh out loud

That has been my husband's chief complaint as well.



I think we're just about done with this show. Both of my sons (ages 20 and 17) were big fans just like us up until last year when they split everyone up. They stopped watching completely. This year it's just me and hubby and we have tried really hard to stick it out, hoping things would get better this season but I just don't see it happening.

To be honest, for the last year, I've only been watching it to see Daryl kick some butt anyway. Cloud9

Hey! She is VERY good at standing there looking bewildered! laugh out loud

That's a complaint? I LOVE that about this show!

Seriously, why does every other show feel a need to touch on every storyline with every episode? It makes it more like a sitcom or something, having to visit every possible storyline within a 44-minute episode. Having one or two threads unraveled while leaving the rest for later makes the show so much less watered-down and gives them more room to explore each situation. To each their own, though, I love it.

The way they do it lets us get immersed in the story of one of the characters more deeply, i feel. So this is where Beth has been while the others were at the church. Anyone else think that the person that Daryl tells to come out is Chris from the hospital? And that is how they are going to tie the two stories together?

Id say the first 2 episodes this season were awesome! Ive really tried hard to like beth (mainly since she had grown on daryl) but its so hard to believe the character she has become now- she played the spoiled teenager taking care of a baby (Judith) role perfectly. I wonder if she just isn't well spoken, I watched about 15 min of talking dead and I think she was the worst cast member they've had on so far. Its like she knew what she wanted to say but she fumbled through most the questions. It honestly would have to get pretty terrible for me to stop putting on my "I love daryl" shirt and wasting an hour every sunday though. nod

Do you mean Noah, and not that the same actor played Chris on Everybody Hates Chris? laugh out loud



But yes, I totally believe that it's Noah with Daryl. Makes total sense given the demeanor with which Daryl speaks to him (not menacing or commanding, but not familiar, either). Has to be Noah IMO.

Yeah. We called him Chris, because we didn't know his name on the show.
It sort of has to be him in the woods, as if it was Carol, she wouldn't have waited in the woods to be told to come out. The only other possibility was Morgan. But after last episode, I think the better bet is that it is Chris/Noah.
Was kind of a trip to see Carol on the gurney at the end of the episode, no?

Didnt he say "come on out guys" though? As in plural? I was thinking Beth & Carol but after last night I don't see it being them and don't know who the other person/people would be. Maybe he was also confused and guys was referring to chris/noah Dontknow

Was it plural? I don't remember that. My Walking Dead watching group got a chuckle that Daryl was telling someone else to "come out".
