Walking Dead Season 5 - Spoilers will be cannibalised

[type-r]

Really enjoyed tonight's episode. Loved the misdirection, cinematography and ghosts of Christmas past. Lovely pacing too.

Yeah for sure, too many good guys leaving the show. Dale, Hershel, Tyrese

Another thing I liked abut the episode was the way Michonne almost echoed what a lot of fans have been asking for. No more wandering aimlessly, DC is 100 miles away and a decent shot of finding some permanent protection / shelter. It also gives us something as a goal during the remaining 7 episodes thise season.

The one thing that annoys me about the death is the so-called 'ability' of some slithering, flopping, mouth breathing gasping walkers to sneak up behind people absolutely silently.

FFS.

Do understand but it doesn't annoy me. Without it, it would be a dull TV show. There has to be some suspension of disbelief. There would be very little zombie action and "scares" without it. Let's face it, they have to fit in zombie action at various points, even though in reality they have become a secondary storyline.

Thought tonight's episode was good. Another slow burner. Surprised to see after 5 years, they are for the first time dehydrated and starving. Still, whilst I can put that to one side, it made for a realistic episode with them resorting to dining on the less finer things in life.

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.

Thought he took the hood/mask off and you could see who it was underneath (though its been a while since i saw the clip and cba to find it)

It was Morgan. Funnily enough played by Lennie James!

I certainly think there's a 3rd party in the mix somewhere.

Possibly the 3 men that the congresswoman exiled will be back, with reinforcements, with the intention of taking over Alexandria?

I quite liked the slow pacing for a change. Don't know if that's because I have become used to the pacing of Better Call Saul

Definitely building up to a climax of some sort - the calm before the inevitable sh!t storm.

Hershal:"I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it. For a moment, now and then, and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it.’”

Damn, I miss Hershel. And Dale. They were the moral compass of the show. Now all we have a a twitchy episcopal priest.

If it so boring and predictable, stop watching it FFS. Stop coming on here week in and week out moaning about it. What is becoming boring in this thread is the constant whining. At the end of the day, it is a show. Not real life. Get over it. Sure there is rinse and repeat nature to the show and some of the storylines but at the end of the day you are kind of limited what you can do with a zombie show.

I enjoyed the episode. Some great gore scenes and FX. Sad to see Noah's demise. Another good guy bites the dust.

Morgan has got ninja skills. Felt Rick's admission on the fact he had got them in this mess and then just rolled over... just annoyed the hell out of me.
