Sorry edcam, I have a habit of not knowing when to shut up! Apologies, sorry everyone

[bonniebird]

I WAS TRAUMERTISED! So are my parents and my brother etc etc. Guessing at who's dead, my moneys on Glen :( but remember that Daryl isn't even in the comic. Just to say as well, I thought Lucille was Negans woman! OMG! Was I surprised :/

[edcam]

No worries!

Hmmm. I'm not sure I'll be able to watch the dystopian horror that's about to unfold!

Not nasty enough to use the N word however - point that out :)

No, I think seasons 1-6 are on Amazon Prime.

Cheers.

Well.....

That was a disturbing start to the new season....

[Otta]

My heart was racing watching that. Really really well done in terms of drama and intensity. People are saying it went too far, but grim as it was, I thought it was spot on.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Got that right, but it was a cruel tease, making you think that Glenn (who got the bat in the comics) might be spared. Apparently the actor (Steven Yeun) said he didn't want that moment going to anyone else.

One of the most interesting things going forward will be the fate of Daryl. He's not in the comics, so no clues there.

Speaking of the comics, I've finally started reading them, but I'm only at issue 10, all this Negan stuff is around issue 100. I've not even made the end of season 1 yet. But there are big differences. Carol is NOTHING like her TV counterpart. And Shane (main antagonist of seasons 1 & 2) wasn't around for long at all in the books. And no Merle & Daryl. Plus Carl is way younger (7 at the start).

And whilst I'm talking comics, you can read them all here

I looked at buying them, but they're really expensive. Reading them from this site works nicely on an ipad.

[Otta]

Thought a couple more people might have watched / commented.

[Grok]

Daryl completely responsible for Glenns clubbing due to his stupid pop, else wouldve been ginger on his own.

[Otta]

Wasn't the wisest move.

I was only able to catch up yesterday. Also enjoyed Talking Dead's extended show and highlight reels. How young Steven Yeun looked in series 1!

I'm very sad to see him go - great character, the heart of the group. But they have gone a long time without the death of a really central character (Beth, or all the way back to Hershel?), and Glenn does die in the comics.

Excited to see where they go this season, it's certainly changed the group's world. Never read the comics so everything is a surprise.

[edcam]

It was certainly a grim episode. I had thought it would be one of the two but didn't expect it to be both of them! That Negan is a very naughty man....

[Otta]

Thought the acting was superb. From everyone, even those that didn't say much.

They actually filmed the deaths of all of them so as to keep the outcome secret. Maggie's clubbing (and Glenn's response to seeing it) has been leaked, but I don't really fancy watching that.

Anyway, it's certainly spiced things up a bit, as I thought the last season was getting slightly stale.

[Tractorlad]

I clicked on this because I thought it was a thread about Theresa May! I guess I need to broaden my viewing habits.

Me too Tractorlad 😆
