the Walking Dead

[ZetaPhi708.20]

I wasn't as overwhelmed as I was when the patriarch of a certain family was killed by the Governor but yes, the post-credits scene is leading up to something interesting, something that we have to wait for till February.

I agree, I wasn't shocked per se. I think it was more of the aftermath, that did make me tear up a bit (I must confess).

I think what lacked the emotional impact for me was that I just lost interest in that certain character after their extended "not being" in the series as much.

One good thesis of the show, is that it shows that the dynamics of any survival group, the hierarchy can change at any time and is always in flux, i.e. the Grady Memorial group.

Are you talking about the scenes with Morgan? He was also in the first episode of the season... It appears that he is following the group but I don't see anything nefarious coming out of it. I assumed he was specifically following Rick but he seemed like he was surprised to see that Rick was at the church so who knows..

^^^Yes, I've gone back and forth about Morgan. Only because the last time he was in a scene with another non-zombie (i.e. Rick) he went off the deep end and at that particular moment I wondered if he would come back from that bad place he was at. Also I've just come to expect the unexpected from this show.

Anyone else watching the marathon?

Well, there are only 2 episodes left for Season 5....and last night's show was the goriest I think I have ever seen in the entire series.....

1. I'm never using a revolving door again....

2. Carol's cookies ( from last week )

3. Twitter exploded last night with comments on how they are really looking forward to actually seeing a certain character die a horrible death....haven't seen that since the days of The Governor.

I would pay to see the pastor get eaten by zombies. And I would cheer on the zombies and let them use my barbecue sauce.

^^^ Like! I wanted to reach through the TV and yell at the preacher and tell him he was in ingrate and then punch him.

I've been reading speculation on the possible death of someone which will make me sad if it is true and is following the graphic novel.

I also think that the former Congresswoman was taking that character's statements with a grain of salt and that she will investigate those allegations thoroughly to protect her community.

Well season 5 is now over, and there were several moments that gave me heart palpitations. I was glad to see overall that the episode was one of the best ones I've seen a very long while.

Also did anyone catch a glimpse of the trailer for the spin-off series to be set in LA? I'm not sure if I want to invest in watching it...I guess it will depends on if there's better TV to watch on whatever night they plan to air the spin off.

[ZetaPhi708.20]

The new series, "Fear The Walking Dead", looks to be interesting. First season is only 6 episodes.

Good finale.

The 3xZombie chain sequence. Whoa.

Anyone else catch the season premiere tonight? I think this is gonna make for a very interesting 7th season!
