HOLY. MOTHERFUCKING. SHIT.

 

This episode...... yassssssssssssssssss. I've been waiting to see how they would play that one out on the show as opposed to the comics.... NAILED IT.

[Maha]

The newest episode had me screaming at my monitor... I almost couldn't watch it all at once, I had to pause and try to gather myself again. So full on...

[Karla]

In my honest opinion, last night's episode was probably the best midseason premiere I've seen on this show. GOD it was so good!

 

Spoiler

Carl is not one of my favorite characters, but I couldn't help but feel bad for him in this one.  I didn't think the show would go as far as take away his eye like they did in the comic. So brutal!

@Karla I know, right? Them feels. Rick seeing all of that and more unfold before him. But, how badass was Darryl? Holy crap man, those blokes were like, "you're gonna have to die now" and then he's all like... "click, booom bitches"

[Required]

Season 6 had me quite dissapointed, specially after such a good season 5, but yesterday's episode was AWESOME

[Katya]

Holy crap!! They did it. I never thought they would, to be honest, considering how they got this far with that whole Judithgate lol.

But jesus fuck. What an amazing episode. Such a rush

I wonder if I'm the only one to have mixed opinions about the Wolf's leader death, though...

Here's the reason why Darryl gets so much love from the fans

Going back I can hardly believe the Darryl from the first episodes that only cared about him and his brother (who, maybe not that surprisingly, also revealed himself to be a better man in the end).

Reporting here live while watching the new ep.

 

Serious, SERIOUS spoilers ahead. The tags are here for a reason.

NOO WAAAYYYY. I was so relieved that fucking family got killed off in the zombie horde (I don't even know their names, I cared so little for them) then Carl gets fucking SHOT in the EYE. I really liked his character. I paused to come here and post my amazement. I hope he's miraculously still alive, just blind, further up in the ep but I doubt it. Man, Carl should've just killed that teenage son way earlier. Jezus.

 

I'm resuming the ep now ;P

 

Aahhh everyone is helping Rick fight zombies now, how heartwarming

 

YEEEESS HELP IS HERE GO DARYL SASHA GINGER

 

Whoa what a rollercoaster this ep C:

 

HOW. HOW does Carl fucking survive that. I mean, I'm glad, but HOW.

 

That loss of interest I mentioned earlier? Yeah, it's back. They won it back. A hundred times. This is ep is fucking perfect, it's everything.

 

Spoiler

The right deaths, the right survivor. What a feelgood-ep and I don't even mind.

[Lollita]

OMFG!   The episode was so freaking good 

[Bones]

Just read the spoilers cant wait to watch it later today now woop woop

[Katya]

@cassiopeiic you would LOVE the comics (for your reactions about Carl I'm assuming you don't read them ). So much blood and brains. It's perfect.

Haha nope I hadn't indeed read the comics I tried a couple of issues but just found out I'm not much of a comicreader, but I might give it a go

(Haven't read the comics, don't really intend to) - Spoiler below, not taking the time to figure out the spoiler tags - also, why are you even in this thread if you don't want spoilers?? I personally avoid ALL social media on weeks where I miss an episode. I won't feel sorry for you, since you should learn from your mistakes and take equal measure.

I was a little upset that they killed off Ricks love interest - he's had a rough time of it, I was hoping to see them together, minus the wuss-punk kids. 

 

I was super pumped that Corl got shot, literally did a fist pump when it happened - he's one of my least favorite characters. I know his character is only a kid, but he hasn't done much to earn my respect. Then I got bummed when I saw him alive. I was like, come on, really? Literally one of the only characters I actively want to see get bit, survives getting shot in the GD eye. By the end of the episode, I was calling to have his head on a pike, or else pray for a major character arc where he actually becomes a badass because of the missing eye, somehow. Maybe the loss of his eye will sour his outlook on life (see what I did there?), turning him into a new Governor. Now, that's an evil character I respected. 

 

I suppose I group characters into "those I would personally respect in a post-apocalyptic world", and "don't care if they die".

 

 

EDIT: Thanks Waser. Dunno what got into me yesterday, lol.

I was also disappointed to see Jess go.  She seemed like a capable, and she would've been if it weren't for her stupid sons.  I know you don't read the comic, but if you do, you'll see that Andrea is Rick's new love interest. (CORAL even calls her "Mom. Ugh...)"

 

As much as I share the same hate for CORAL, I don't believe the show creators are going to kill him off anytime soon.  CORAL's pretty much the only reason Rick is still alive, and without him, Rock has nothing to fight for. It's really annoying. The least Robert Kirkman and the writers could do is make him more interesting (Like they did with Carol), then maybe I'll start appreciating him. Until then, he's a real liability.

Kirkman has stated multiple times that The Walking Dead is Carl's story and Rick will die. That's the only guarantee from the series.

[Katya]

@cassiopeiic aaahh I was like you. Always had zero interest in comics but TWD changed that, at least for some genres. Also, I always prefered Adlard's art way more than Tony Moore. Adlard give the story a more raw perspective, if that makes sense? Moore only did the first 6 issues (apart from the covers which he continue to work on until #24, iirc) so, if you ever try a next time, go past #6 to see if you get into it more easily?

Also my 3rd favorite comic character Jesus has appeared!  I hope AMC doesn't fuck this up.

But what about Ezekiel?! At least we had a relatively positive episode. Haven't seen one of those in a while. We'll probably end up having at least 2 or 3 main characters die this season. I'm gonna guess Abraham, Glenn and possibly Tara.
