They really need to bring back Shane as an "I told you so" vision.

That would be awesome.

Now I'm getting agitated I missed this episode. Synopsis can only do so much. :(

It is grating to me that Deanna never asked about their history.
She seems to want to know more about their skills, but not their experience. A plot-contrived disconnect there that I'm sure the Alexandrians will be made to regret in the finale.

Well it be pretty dark

Well we did have a dinky little camp in the woods, but we drove a car making a vast amount of noise and drew all the zombies to us - people died. Theer was some gang people protecting the old people but I guess they are all dead - or maybe surviving cos we didn't stay.

Then we went driving around for a bit - people died

Then we found this great farm, but they liked keeping zombies in the barn, people died, some even by zombies, some not so much.

Ok so we wondered a bit more and then found a prison - with loads of holes in the walls and fences - not very nice but some of it was safe but sometimes people died - weird.

And a very nice little walled town, the guy running it was a psycho but it was safe, had food and water, people slept in their beds, we had a war with them and guess what people died.

So everyone moved to the unhygienic, cramped, dark, smelly prison and let the town get burned, but strangely they was a plague - likely cos the only water was a stream with zombies in it and ..lots of people died.

Then the prison got blown up by the psycho guy in a Tank! - lots of people died.

We found another walled community - they were psycho cannibals so we killed them all before we got ate.

Then there was the strange hospital in Atlanta - we killed some of them and lost one our own.

Lastly we wondered about a bit - heading for that tosser who got eaten's home but it had been destroyed - even before we got there...that was unexpected we figured that it would be our faulyt again.

So now we are here - and people have started dying - weird that. What you say that you have been here a year living a nice quiet life with very problems - well that's all over

Rick's Wrecking crew is here! Best run now.

Priest (da coward) dropped a manhole cover on the group. Not a dime but a manhole cover. Granted it was religious based but....."The guy F'ing lost his frame of mind" moment

Welcome to the group!

Random observation:

my hair is getting so long I'm starting to look like Daryl Dixon. Time to book an appointment with a Barber. Or maybe now would be a good time to get into Cosplay.

some news for the spinoff, Twice the zombies this summer

http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/fear-the-walking-dead-spinoff-title-1201461637/

Fear not — more zombies are coming soon.

“Fear the Walking Dead” is the official title for “The Walking Dead” companion series, AMC announced Friday.

Executive producer Robert Kirkman took to his Twitter to let his fans in on the news, also teasing more details soon to come:

The spinoff will be set in Los Angeles, and will feature new characters and storylines.

“We’re thrilled to bring audiences worldwide ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ within 24 hours of the U.S. premiere so that fans can experience the excitement of one of the year’s most anticipated new dramas together exclusively on AMC Global,” said Bruce Tuchman, president of AMC and Sundance Channel Global. “AMC has created some of the most compelling programming on television in recent years, and this new show will perfectly complement the popular films and exclusive original series showcased on the network.”

Cliff Curtis, Kim Dickens (pictured), Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey will star in “Fear the Walking Dead,” which is exec produced by Kirkman and his “Walking Dead” team, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert. Dave Erickson will exec produce and serve as showrunner. Erickson and Kirkman co-created and co-wrote the pilot.

“Fear” was handed a straight-to-series two season order. Season one is set to premiere this summer with six episodes. Season two is slated for 2016.

I just hope it's different in some way, not just another group of survivors....surviving. Like, perhaps it could show the Military's response or perspective.

Isn't it suppose to be more during the initial days?

Yes, it will start before the epidemic and is supposed to run through the start of it as well (not skip ahead like the original did due to following Rick's coma).

However, Kirkman has said that it won't remain a prequel very long...they will eventually run concurrently with the main show.

This will definitely be interesting. From what I've heard, it seems like they're heavily relying on the fact that this is a different part of the country and ifferent characters to provide them with different stories, and while I'm sure that's true to an extent, at some point I'd imagine it will start to feel just like two sides to the same coin. I already feel sometimes like the main show kind of struggles to not just repeat the same themes over and over and over again, so I'm a bit worried that adding an additional show to the mix will only serve to highlight this issue even further.

Making it fresh will be an issue...

Doesn't it kinda make sense though? Especially as TWD seems to be moving to a more 'static' storyline for a while , therefore it's a good idea to make another series for the 'survivor wandering' style lovers/

It'll be interesting to see the breakout and survival in what is basically a deathworld zone. If it's based in SoCal water and food are going to be major, major issues not to mention zombie population density. So it's a different kind of experience from the east coast southern regions. That said making it fresh will be interesting.

Getting ready to see if the Ricktatorship™ continues!

Ya'll ready?

Is Gabriel working with someone?

Nicholas? The Wolves?

Or is he just soloing his bat gak crazy act?

EDIT

Looks like a solo act.

Also, did Rick shoot Pete or Deanna's husband?

I think that's the drama

If he shot the wife beater, it sorta flies in the face of what Morgan said to Daryl, doesn't it?

Was anyone able to better make out what was going on at the end with the Wolves (what their van said, etc). It was so damn dark on my TV.

and my DVR screwed up the scene...

They said goodbye to Pete on Talking Dead.

Which also explains Morgan's WTF reaction. LOL.

Damn, Carol is cold. Anyone else catch that "Not now"?

Rick was reaching for his gun to stop Pete, Carol made him wait till Pete had killed someone.

Yep, although obviously she didn't know he was going to kill anyone necessarily. I think Carol wanted to give Pete time to be menacing and wait for the leader chick to give Rick the order to stop him. It just happened to work out in the best/worst possible way (although losing your doctor and engineer at the same time is pretty brutal for everyone).

I'm so, so, so, so glad that the gate getting left open didn't magically coincide with some walker hoard randomly showing up to decimate the place. I think I would have stopped watching the show forever if that had been the case.

Surprise that Glen

Excellent episode. Glenn and Maggie are both to good for this world but it's nice to see neither of them are dead yet. Morgan showing up had the wifey squeeing. An hour and half went way to fast. Sad that I won't get any more till fall

It'll be interesting to see how long they end up dealing with the Wolves.

And I fear for Morgan's safety. He looks to be the new "moral compass," and you know what that means.

I don't fear for Morgan to much. I feel like they'd be stupid to kill him off quickly after how long they built up his joining the group (and his oddly immense popularity) and also he's going to provide an interesting contrast to Rick since they started out in this thing together.

I forsee the Wolves being the first half of next season.

Please, no need to spoiler TV SHOW information already!

I haven't watched TALKING DEAD yet, so I guess we now know that Rick executed Pete?

Unless it is all a swerve?

Morgan as Guiding Light is probably more dangerous for him than Glenn and Maggie's current Good Guy position...

Yeah, Talking Dead In Memorium'd Pete so he's out.
