I’ve been waiting for the border wall to go up for a while. For a while it looked like they might skip that scene. Glad to see who survived it: and glad to see Henry not survive. He’s just not filling the shoes of Carl and I just don’t think that guy is a good actor at all. Also it sets up the next main plot point. Some people will actually want peace but no way in hell Carol is ever going to go for that. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her and the King come down on the opposite sides of that debate.

Watching Talking Dead now. I thought that might have Terra but it was hard to tell. I must admit I never really liked her so don’t really care and hope they find a way to get Maggie back but I know she’s off on another show right now. I think the one that I liked the most was actually Enid. Certainly a lot more than Henry which was supposed to be the big reveal.

I feel Alpha has somewhat shot her bolt, showing Daryl her Little Valley Of Zombies.

I mean, sure, she might have others, but that still revealing a huge part of your defence/offence strategy to your enemy. Pretty sure I’d want to keep such a treat up my sleeved. But then, I’m not a total mentalist. I mean, dressing in the skins is skanky, but very smart. Kicking off at people crossing into territory you’ve not previously marked? Seems a bit hatstand to me.

Am I the only one thinking about how funny it would be to fly over that valley and lay down a steady stream of napalm and explosives? Furthermore, I'd love to let them know I was going to do it about 5 minutes beforehand. Just long enough so that the people walking with the Dead couldn't get out without alerting the zombies they were there.

Reckon it’s a prime target for a couple of combine harvesters.

Bits o’ Zombie everywhere!

Then oh boy are you guys in for a treat next season.

No spoilers

Teases fine, just hold the details

No combine harvesters sadly, but from what I recall from the comics they do get creative in how they deal with the herd.

They tried the whole using thermobaric weapons on the zombie hordes thing already. It just left a city burning and a load of charred zombies melted into the tarmac clawing at survivors as they walked past.

Yes, we'll have to see how that whole mega herd thing pans out. Hopefully the show deals with it well. Probably not. The comics were super lacklustre.

A fitting thread for necromancy...

The walking dead trailers for the first film and season 10;





And comic spoiler - Mean it. Really a spoiler. If you are not upto date on the comic then don't read this;

I’m looking forward to it already.

Well, its over then! I certainly did not see that coming. I thought after Ricks demise we would still get a few more years of comics but nope. Really liked how it all ends, felt a little rushed but still good.

Yes! Biggest comic shocker of all time!

For some reason I’ve been hearing that the movies were going to be TV movies but it looks like it’s a theatrical release after all!

Just cant get excited anymore for this =/

Genuinely dont know how they are going to keep the whisperers a threat/scary/relevant.
We've seen pretty much most about them already. No?

So, season 10 has begun.

Another time jump, albeit a few months this time. And some decent character development, alongside some good gore.

I’m a happy camper!

Uhmmmmmmm



Leaving aside that nonsense, it was a bit ho hum for me. Daryl n Carol are always watchable together so nice to see them get some air time but nothing really happened apart from that to drive anything forward.

As I said months ago not sure how they are going to make the whisperers into any sort of major threat - well apart from the spoiler above

Nuke reference was to Alpha's pet Massive Herd O'Zombies - something she's able to competently direct against whomever has earned her ire.

Ah righto - didnt cop that

S10 Episode 2

Kicks off with a 7 year flashback, and some ‘meanwhile, in the present’, focussing on The Whisperers.

And what we’re seeing is pretty interesting, and adds some decent perspective on Alpha, really letting Samantha Morton show her acting chops. Bit of perspective on Beta as well.

May even be seeing a hint of cracks with Whisperer ranks.

Really good to see character development of the baddies for once. Don’t think we’ve had that since Terminus, and even that was pretty fleeting.

Some good gory bits as well, and some fairly shocking scenes, even 10 years in.

Definitely picking up and running with the spark of improvement we saw within Season 9.

Yup that was a solid episode, fairly dark in places which was good.
Highlight was Beta literally face planting zombies through walls.

I really liked how the two time zones reflected each other.

Yes that was well done.

Got to around half way through S10E3 last night, before I had to go to bed (had been to a gig, it was coming up midnight, and alarm goes off 5:30)

Go to say, Alpha is the main power behind the show's increasing quality. Not only is Samantha Morton a might good actress (and she is!), but Alpha is unpredictable in way Negan and The Governor just weren't.

She calls the meeting at the fence, shows off her knowledge etc - and just claims land. Even directly forgiving Carol for trying to shoot her there and then.

That's very, very welcome. They know what she's capable of (Horde O'Dead) - but not what might trigger her. That adds a serious chill factor to her behaviour.

I mean....is she actually, honestly trustworthy? Will she respect the border? Or is it all just a mind game for her own amusement?

Shall start the episode over, as tired Grotsnik isn't the most attentive, and I don't want to be head scratching at the second half.

You're seeing things that aren't there, IMO, Doc.

The whole point of her meeting and her 'forgiving' Carol was to try to push the group into doing something stupid.

She wants them to cross the border. She wants war. She wants the world to end.

Misery loves company, and Alpha's quite lonely.

Only half way through, and was half asleep!

But man, what an interesting antagonist does for a show!

Was an ok episode but not as good as the last one.

Im confused that during Negans war they had guns, grenades, trucks, cars up the wazzoo but a few years later are back to using horses, spears and bows?

Wasnt eugene able to make ammo and weapons due to his background? And the whisperes seem pretty well armed with hand guns etc?

Hows that work?

I'd assume the idea is that the settlements save guns for the real "oh gak" threats.

Well, way to make the dead feel like a threat again!

Mmmmmmmm! Belligerence!

Saviours also lost all theirs thanks to Eugenius exploding dakka trick, so that's a fair number gone.

And with six years passing last Season, it could be they simply struggle to maintain the workybits? I dunno. I'm no gun smith.

They were also living in relative peacetime, with no Big Bad for said six years. Could simply be it was easier to adopt less advanced weapons, than go to the bother of maintaining dakkadakka when there were more important things to invest manpower in?

Not related to the current seasons. But those peeps that turned up at Hilltop, traded plans for records. Then just sort of, stopped being a thing.

Huh?

Is this something from the comics?

They're probably a reformulation of something from the comics, yes.

Totally forgot about them. They really did just pop up and get forgotten about
