How did the Kingdom crew manage to sneak up on Negen's lot? There are no other entrances to Alexandria are there? If so, were they hiding round the back somewhere? The tiger just seemed to appear out of nowhere and they were all there suddenly....seemed very implausible. Then again we are talking about a show dealing with the Zombie apocalypse.

It's not been explained but I gave a solution on page 54 (with photos of the real set)

I agree. The sneak-up in the season finale really hit the credibility stakes in a big way in comparison to what's gone on in the previous 98 episodes.

Billions is number 1 for me at the moment.
That's sealed the deal for me. I have been thinking about watching Billions but wasn't sure if it was for me but I think I'll give it a go now and see how I get on.

"We're going to war!!"

Except we won't be, will we, for 14.5 more episodes, instead we will have to suffer through all the time-jumping and reverse ordered episodes and other pointless arty crap, and spend most of the time wondering wtf are we watching it for and for ***** sake will something ANYTHING just please happen without needing 55 minutes of someone looking moody before they point a gun and still don't ******** shoot. I felt more tension watching the British Bake Off than any of the recent TWD episodes...

For GOD SAKE go to a new city or something and lets have some of the WALKING DEAD back in it as per the title, not some ponce in a too-tight leather jacket who spends every episode endlessly talkingtalkingtalkingblahblahblahthreatblahblahblahshoulderbatblahblah****ingblah

The entire thing now feels like a 14.5 episode build-up to which of the main characters will die this time, which looses all the shock value if you keep on doing it over and over.

DO SOMETHING NEW. ANYTHING NEW. OR JUST DO SOMETHING AT ALL.

I suspect you're going to be extremely disappointed and it will be variations on a theme stuck around the same few locations until it gets cancelled.

It really needs a new story that isn't from the tired old comic.

Yeah it does feel like its all filmed in one field...i wish they'd return to a city to give a more varied landscape and fresh opportunites for the walkers to become a threat again, they seem a bit superfluous now as they crash through the same wood or wander down the same empty straight road...

I do often wonder how come there are five times as many zombies in the boondocks now as there were humans before it all started.

Fields are cheaper to rent then buildings & city blocks for filming purposes! wink

Staggered - after watching all 7 seasons in a few weeks that has gone from great to grim. 7 started pretty lame with it's gore porn opener that dragged on so long I wanted to club myself....but that end?????? Where's the pay off for the viewer???

Negan lives? D lives??? Scrap Yard Yoda lives???

Thought I'd be waiting for 8 but now not fussed at all.

Only highlight to the season was Negan's line about feeding Coral spaghetti.

Has anyone been watching "Fear of the walking dead" same universe but set in LA and Mexico.

I've only seen up to the end of series two (series two has recently become free to watch on Amazon Prime) Series three is out but Amozan want £30 odd quid to watch it!

Very good so far and is as gritty as the TWD was at the start.

Yes, I noticed that Season 1 & 2 were available on Amazon Prime. I've only watched Season 1 so far. It's been quite good so far. A very different spin on the same event.

It's utterly awful.

Mrs and I struggled through S1 and we spotted S2 was on Amazon recently and gave it a try, not bothered with anymore after that.

All the idiocy of TWD but with not one single relatable character.

I stopped watching somewhere in S7, and I'm not sure when. Did S7 begin with revealing who's head Negan bashed in?

Saw on the news a few days ago they halted filming of Season 8 as a stuntman had an accident and died of his injuries. frown

I appear to be one of the few people out there that likes FTWD. It has gotten much better IMO, though have to be careful of what I say as the last episode seemed to contain a bit of a spoiler for TWD, well certainly answered an unanswered question that has been hanging over TWD for a while.
