quite

bloody obvious this is going to go wrong. Why not get two people to go check it out over night, and then send one person in to check it out.

Not as bad as last week but not exactly amazing.

I'll echo the driving comments, wtf why did he do a handbrake turn at the end?!

Car not starting was too dull and predictable.

Dire. Sorry but utter crap.

A few zombies get killed they go a drive. They show up outside some place.

OK episode.

How are they going to do Karl getting part of his head blown off?

What puzzles me most, is they all seem to be content with cars that have been used as desert taxis for the first million miles of their lives.

Given the recent standard not too bad of an episode. I really feared towards the end of the episode the rest of the series would be spent on the road trying to get to Alexandria, a la previous seasons getting to Terminus, the hospital (ending up back in Atlanta was a good idea…….) the splinter group trying to get the mullet to Washington.

Hopefully now they can stop trying to get places and develop the story more. When’s the spin off series due?

Spin off series?

I doubt I'd bother with that tbh, this is painful enough at times!

The concept seems to quite far down the line:

http://screenrant.com/walking-dead-spinoff-charact...

I hadn’t heard or read much about it other than the rumours that it won’t tie in with the existing show and will possibly look more at the events that led up to TWD.

I for one would love to see World War Z turned into a series, anything would be better than the abomination that was the film. The format IMO would also lend itself well to a series but the market is somewhat saturated to see the least with Zombie stuff………..

Those six main characters named in the spin off sound like awful clichés. I want to see a group of ruthless bds doing whatever they can to live.

Deja vu. Yet again. Despite Rick's rather bland attempt to not repeat the cycle again. Plus a feeble flash of DC in the background, giving a hint of yet more road travel in Season 6 before the final scene of that series of the troop minus a few walking down the mall towards a CGI'd Capitol Hill.

I think that, in reality, after gone through what Rick's group has regarding Terminus and 'The Governer', they really wouldn't trust another group again.

I know we have to have a certain suspension of disbelief due to the nature of the material, but when the script dictates that the same hapless group never learn from previous encounters, it defies any sense whatsoever. They act no better than Lemmings!

And Noah's protected home that had been destroyed by infection and a bad case of death. Staying in one place hasn't worked for anyone yet.

I've not watched any since resuming after the mid season break in a futile bid to binge on them all and hopefully get SOME enjoyment out of it.

So far the comments aren't inspiring me to even bother with that approach grumpy

Is it just me that really really disliked the Governor episodes? Couldn't stand them!

Nope, I didn't like them either.

That whole Woodbury thing was ridiculous as regards the level of "normality" they managed to attain. At least, it WAS ridiculous until the hospital episodes: people having time to mop floors, wash and iron uniforms, fresh fruit along with all sorts of other stuff for breakfast. Erm...post-apocolyptic survival would be just that: survival at it's most basic. I realise as a TV programme it needs SOME other storylines, but Woodbury and the Hospital were just silly.

I seem to remember they had a new Hyundai in s1/2, that was constantly in showroom condition regardless of what they did with it
