Love the new trailer!

The Kingdom storyline...and looks like they've kept some cool comic stuff!

Somebody shared a video on my wofe's facebook where Norman Reedus filled Andrew Lincoln's dashboard vents with glitter. Har-de-har.

Anyway, that suggests that neither of them have been sent home yet.

I'm surprised they kept the tiger. A rather large hound would've sufficed, but true to the comics we go!

We'll still be moaning come the actual show, it's too addictive not to watch though.

More Tigers in private hands in the USA than in the wild, so probably easy to come by.

A zombie Tiger though...

Why have a rather large hound when you can have a Tiger? Probably more realistic, you know, during a Zombie Apocalypse. I can't imagine dogs being that great a survivalist to be honest. Tigers on the other hand...

When I read the comic, I thought how are they going to do that and be realistic in the show. I wasn't even sure the Kingdom would be a thing, but a tiger is just brilliant really. Hopefully we see it quickly in the series, with Morgan and Carol just being picked up by them.

'Should' be an action packed season, I always end up moaning about it even though I do enjoy it.

I pray to God my Border Collie X doesn't ! My Geese on the other hand are bad ass.

Well considering so far we haven't seen any pet dogs, I'm assuming not frown

There was that terrier who came by when Daryl and Beth found that house. We didn't see the owner of the dog though. Presumably it was the dog of the house that was nicely stocked.

Dogs will always survive a zombie apocalypse because they wouldn't make the same silly mistakes the humans make. They could also smell the dead long before they groan into sight.

And they've all gone to Northern Canada.

Not according to Fear the walking Dead - 2 dogs attacked a zombie and got ate for their trouble.

Speaking of which, FtWD seems much better in recent episodes than I remember it being before.

I thought the opposite. I don't like any of the main characters at all. The writers seem to want to make them look as stupid as possible. Smashing glasses against the wall and playing a piano, whilst leaving the doors wide open in that hotel! It is as though they are doing the polar opposite of what is required to stay alive. Last week's episode annoyed me because of the sheer stupidity of the writing.

They've always been stupid, seems a pretty common thread. And I still think they pretty much all deserve to die. Whether in FTWD or TWD.

It's just that given the early episodes of FTWD managed to get through a zombie apocalypse breaking out without really showing it and most of the episodes have been locked in a compound or a boat or whatever I thought it made a change to have what they did.

With any luck it'll end up with them tripping over a group of Zetas and coming to an abrupt end.

Most recent episode is the first one in this series (possibly both series) that has been worth watching, rest have been pretty awful.
