I think his dialogue will be straight from the comic, but use "fudge."

They could also just bleep him out for TV, and use the unedited version for the DVD/Blu-ray release.

Oh no.

No one wants to hear that many bleeps in a sentence

Yeah, and it would kind of break things to bleep. They've never bleeped before...

That would actually be quite interesting. No rape, no swearing. Torture and murder are A-okay though! Keeping a bunch of sadists in check with odd rules like that would be entertaining at least.

Thats what he does, odd rules and hot irons to your noggin when you break the rules.

I can see them actually not even having neegan in it at all. the show is so different, why not?

just have a different big bad or what not.

They still havnt done a single thing with morgan besides showing him for 2 seconds at the end of the terminus episode,

he will likely be tied to the finale in some way, and hes not in the comics *AT ALL* after meeting rick very early in the story, I think people were confusing him with the preacher who

I found TV Governor to be more like Negan than The Govenor. Making TV Negan even more redundant.

No, I don't agree.

I honestly think that as both the TV show and comic progress, we will see less and less similarities,

after all,

beth, daryl, morgan, tyreese, the baby, carol and others exist in the TV show, but not in the comic at this point

and several people like andrea, who is critical to the alexandria part of the comic, are just dead and gone.

No. At this point Morgan is still alive in the comics.

In the comics, while on the road to Washington (after the prison fell) Rick encountered Morgan a second time and discovered that his son had died. Morgan joined Rick there and then, and went to Washington with him



In the show, Rick stayed at the prison for longer, and encountered Morgan whilst on a supply run. Unlike the comic, Morgan did not join Rick on this second encounter, probably because Morgan never actually went to the prison in the comics.

They're actually keeping Morgan's arc pretty faithful to the comics, so far anyway. Morgan met and joined Rick when Rick was on the road to Washington. The only difference is that in the show it'll be on their third encounter, not the second.

jesus, the king, neegan ect might show up, but quite likely in a totally different way. I really do see negan being cut out, and glenn surviving, the author seems to really want the comic and the show to be very different

Not necessarily. They are definitely changing the character arcs of certain characters, but they're swapping around events and applying them to different people instead.

E.g. instead of Rick having his hand amputated, it was Merle.
Instead of Allen getting his leg amputated it was Hershel.
Instead of Judith being the child in the group to die, it was Sofia.
Instead of Carl being the one to kill the crazy kid who killed his/her brother/sister to protect Sofia/Judith, it was Carol.
Instead of Tyreese being beheaded it was Hershel.
Instead of Dale being the one bitten and attacked by the cannibal Hunters, it was Bob.


Instead of Andrea surviving and becoming Ricks lover, it'll be someone else in the group. Maybe Michonne or Carol.
Instead of you know who having his head caved in by a base ball bat, it'll someone else like Daryl or Tyreese.

At terminus , when the Hunters were going to kill Glenn, that was definitely trolling the comic fans.


Those similarities will still be there, it'll still be briadly the same overall storyline, but the events along the way will be remixed and swapped around. There'll be parallels to the comics, only it'll be Daryl dying, not you know who. Or Tyreese will be bit not

....doing a pretty bad job of using the spoiler tags there.

It appears the Atlanta Police/Hospital group storyline will take up a big chunk of this season.

First we had Slabtown, the flashback episode that showed us what happened to Beth and introduced the gang of Atlanta cops. And it appears at least the next 3 episodes will involve that storyline.

Consumed
Cautiously, members of our group must venture into a familiar location on a heroic rescue mission. It's a huge stage, but so are the stakes.

Crossed
Some members hold down the church while the others are on a rescue mission.

Coda
New enemies disregard rules and morals; although Rick wants to find a peaceful agreement, the enemies seem to prefer a more violent resolution.

Looks like Dawn and her Cops will be coming into conflict with Rick and co.

So an unconscious Carol being wheeled into the hospital wasn't a ruse to get her to infiltrate the Hospital Terminus style. It appears that something went wrong - Carol is indeed knocked out somehow and captured, Daryl returns to the Church (possibly with Noah in tow) to enlist Rick's help in rescuing Beth and Carol. (end of episode 3).

Half the group leaves the Church for Atlanta, whilst the others perhaps come under attack at the Church (Walkers probably).

Rick attempts to negotiate with Dawn, but the Cops resort to violence.

Maybe Dawn and her group are after all the "Big Bad" of the season. Or at least, the longest lasting Bad Guys.

Hopefully it'll resolve this season. The hospital doesn't know what it's getting in to with Rick's group.

I suspect it'll basically be there "midseason" threat. Like the Govenor 2.0 was last seasons first half problem. Same with the hospital group. We'll see. I enjoyed last nights episode. The deeper look into Abraham and Eugene was solid.

I'm sorry but the last episode was a dull filler, ie;

not much happens,
some thing happens,
sexy times,
not much happend,
some thing happens,
not much happens,
ginger hits mullet

It felt like it had been forced, even crowbared into the show. To be perfectly honist, I only care if Maggie or Glen bite it, the others, not really feeling any attachment or warmth for.

i think Slabtown was a dull filler episode too.

However, it was great to see another gigantic herd, that was in the comics only the entire group was together not split.

It was more for the non-comic fans I believe, or for people like me who hoped

Yeah, I thought it was fine. Gave us background on two fairly major characters. I'd stopped reading the comic outside of the random ones here and there by now. So I didn't know that Eugene was lying (for sure, I assumed) or Abrahams background.

So for me it was good character development. Water cannon was fun. Giant herd was cool. Granted I don't care about this group like the other two outside of Glen and Maggie but I wouldn't call it a filler episode.

I thought it was a stellar episode myself. I enjoy these characters a lot so seeing them get some back story makes me happy. I especially loved the Abraham flashback scenes; that dude is hardcore. I would like to see some more backstory on Sophia though.

Sophia? You mean Tara? Or Rosita?

I enjoyed the episode, I think it was a perfectly good standalone episode. I do think it was badly placed in the season, however, I would have rather have seen it happening either before the hospital sequence or after.

In any case, I was half right about Eugene.

Mistype; I was talking to my daughter as I was writing that. (her name Sophie).

Rosita.

More like a Freudian Slip.

I liked the episode. You'd think we'd seen every way to kill a zombie there is by now but no: disintegration by water cannon!

You'd think that would have been enough to satisfy the zombie pr0n crowd, but no, it's a "filler" episode.

TWD -- comics and TV -- is a character-driven drama.

I think most people feeling it was a filler was because it was primarily about characters that most people could care less about. The only real feelz most people have for that group is Glenn and Maggie. And they didn't really feature in the episode much (correctly as it was about Abraham and Eugene). So it feels like filler cause they don't care about the people it's about.

I felt it was filler because the pace was slowing down a bit, and didn't really advance all that much.

After the lightning pace of the 3 episode Hunters Arc, we got 1 episode about Beth...and then the pace came to a screeching halt with a slow character development episode in which nothing much happens about Abraham and co. instead of continuing the pace and picking up with Daryl or Carol/Beth.

It was filler, but good filler, if you like Abraham and Eugene. I however am itching for the plot to progress and see Carol and Beth rescued from the hospital and for the gang to continue on the road to Washington.
