Indeed!

Not sure what to make of it.

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?

My guess is they're from the

which represent the next group of antagonists after the Whisperer Arc concludes.

Also I'm guessing that Rick Grimes was...



Maybe. Or maybe not.

Up to episode 6, and it continues to improve.

Focussing on developing the antagonists and Negan is working for me - and it's not a dead loss on the protagonists.

No, I think they were just a one time thing to show how they got plans to build a windmill and stuff. In the comic Eugene just knows that kind of stuff. In the TV Show he was being evil at the time.

Mid-season break reached.

Overall, a most satisfying opening half. We've seen The Whisperers developed nicely, and our friends and chums being pushed somewhat.

Daryl and Carol need some venting though. Great actors and great characters, but with Rick and Carrllrlrrlrlr gone, they've been doing quite a bit of the heavy lifting. But hey, given they're the last survivors of the original group, perhaps that's to be expected?

On the upside, the other characters are being properly developed, and at a rate of knots.

A solid first half to the season. Returned to quite a dark space in some scenes which is never a bad thing imo.
Still meandered aimlessly in places though but much more watchable than some of the previous stuff.

At least with season 10 the meandering ( good word!) feels like it might lead somewhere.

The difference between distraction and scripted whimbriling.

And we’re back! Well, we will be around 9pm tonight when it airs in the U.K.

Reckon I’ll finish off typing this letter wot I’m working on, then bring up the last episode for a recap.

Very much looking forward to this!

A decent return, and Carol remains by far the most interesting and complex hero.

Negan and Alpha getting it on was....weird!

I keep waiting for Negan to

It’s been a while. But........

YYYYAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Effing superb!

Well he finally did it but seems like he could have done that many time’s a long time ago and saved Hilltop from complete destruction.

Episode 13 & 14.

Pretty decent stuff, and TWD’s return to form continues. Very, very interested to see the next episode, and rueing that the final episode is necessarily delayed

For those that gave up on it, do consider checking this season out.

Episode 15......gaaaaanhhhhh! Stupid Coronavirus! Don’t leaves us like that!

Ya, its kinda crazy they got every episode done except the last one! At least they got a lot of the main plot points done. So glad Maggie is back! ....next episode.

So, we have an air date - 4 October 2020. Not too long to wait I suppose.

But there’s more! Seems Season 10 will be getting 6 extra episodes, to air in 2021.

This means Season 11 will be delayed of course, but it’s better than nothing. No word so far on what those episodes might include.

And in other Walking Dead news? The show will close out after a 24 episode Season 11, to be shown across 2021-2022.

But, there will be a Carol & Daryl spin off, and some others.

Whoa, crazy. I'm glad its coming to an end. That's probably why AMC is making so many other TWD shows.

I hear they're going to finish the current season soon but tack on a few more episodes for good measure.

Yup. “Finale” airs 4 October, but we’re getting six more episodes before Season 11.

Right, finale all done!

That was pretty good! Decent strategies by both parties, and the fundamental weakness of the Whisperers exploited.

Roll on the next episodes, as I reckon we’ll get some juicy side stories.

And we also saw the debut of The Commonwealth. I was wondering if that’s who was going to be the community the kidnapped Rick and has appeared in Fear. It also seems to be the setting of World Beyond. However seems to be different. It would have been cool if it was. Tie everything up together nicely.

Resurrection because the show is back on.

3 of the 6 bonus episodes down.

First one was pretty ace. Nice to catch up with Maggie, and introduces new antagonists - though whether Maggie’s group earned their ire is kinda unknown.

Second one? Honestly, I love Carol and Daryl. They’re the only original cast members left, and their journeys have been consistently good, especially Carol. But this one just left me a bit cold. It may improve with a second watch.

Third one? Superb. Two previously naive characters continue their development as Credible Survivors.

Indeed, one thing the show has done is frame our antagonists as Credible Surviviors. Sure sometimes their plans are forged in Pure Narrativium, but none really commit “oh come on you’re dead now surely” faux pas.

Fourth episode airs in the U.K. in around 4 hours. I’ve avoided summaries and spoilers so no real idea what it’s about.

So Season 11 has just started in the UK.

I thought the first episode was actually pretty good.

The last couple of seasons have definitely picked up the quality.

Though I’m kinda disappointed that our Heroes haven’t adopted The Whisperer’s tactic when it comes to clearing out buildings.

Season opener definitely one of the stronger episodes in a while.

Credit to the writers and Jeffrey Dean Morgan that after that final scene I'm still unsure what Negan will do, even if I'm kinda sure.

Indeed.

The opening scene was pretty cool.

So, my prediction was off!

Very atmospheric episode, and they still manage some inventive zombie deaths after all these years.

Decent bit of tension, and some real horror moments.

Very interested to see inside The Commonwealth next week.

Episode 3.

An interesting one, and quite differently paced from the first two. It’s not exactly filler, but I feel we’ll need to see the rest of the season to better appreciate it.

It certainly wasn’t boring, just not quite what I expected after the previous cliff hanger.

On my second watch. I do appreciate that we don’t really know the motivation of the folks hunting Maggie’s group. Are they really the bad guys, or did Maggie’s group perhaps get a bit Saviours, and might actually deserve their wrath?

I thoroughly enjoyed this week's episode - nice to see some proper horror elements for a change - haven't seen that for a while.

To be honest they could have cut Daryl's bits out and just focused on the other story but it was still a good episode.
