The Walking Dead III

Rick's transformation has been one of the best things about the show.

Season 6 Rick would have shot Merle straight away isntead if handcuffing him lol.

Caught up with the past 2 episodes.

episode 4- Boring. I appreciate the fact they wanted to delve into morgan's backstory, but this ep just screamed filler. The way eastland got bit was stupid af too. Also involved some of the lamest fighting scenes I'v seen, like it was done in slow motion.

episode 5- It's quite clear that Glenn is alive. All that sappy emotion conveyed by Maggie is all leading to a predictable climax (i'm intrigued to find out how the F the writers will explain that). I'm struggling to think of interesting things that happened...oh, a random lesbo kiss, Rick finally making a move on the blonde milf, we learn for the first time that the leader of Alexandria has a son(i'm bad with names) and at the end she tried to lure the zombies in?

Oh and she doesn't know that one needs to stab zombies in the head to kill them.

Season has taken a big nose dive since ep 3. Hopefully it ends with a bang with the mid season finale.

Episode 4 was my favorite funnily. But Eastman's death was beyond stupid. If only he had a big long object to smack the zombie away Oh wait...

Ugh, another boring filler. I liked the Daryl parts but not the Abraham/Sasha scenes. I have a feeling Daryl's scenes is gonna be very important to the future of the show.

Very disappointed with the latest episode.

That dumbass blonde girl getting bit like that epitomizes the dumbness of this show. Dumb.

I was rolling my eyes before it even happened. So obvious and so dumb.

Weak episode.

2 days at best have passed since S6E1, they are really dragging everything out aren't they? The Glenn situation has not been solved, The Wolf situation has not been resolved, The Walkers situation not resolved.

And it looks like the next episode is not any better if the trailer can be believed.

watching the ep right now

did they really just try to show a tense scene, ominous music and all, with daryl struggling to get his crossbow out of a bag while a walker is like 20 feet from him

Now this was a filler.

Why? You mean the appearance of that other group?

Yeah, reeeeeeeeally cringe. The forest scenes were really badly made, all of them. Even worse than the chick getting killed was that one where they could hear a big-ass truck rolling through the forest only when it was, like, 20 metres away. And what followed  
The "bad people" were right there in front of them and then Daryl just goes "let's casually jog this way" and they got away from them
And after going through all the trouble of finding these escaped guys they just give up when one gets bitten

Considering how pretty much nothing of any importance happened in this episode, it's incredible how lazily and poorly they've managed to write and direct it anyway.

Yeah, exactly. I really liked ep. 4 (the Morgan episode) and I was expecting ep. 5 to be a breather, but now it's become a real problem and a negative that we've gone three straight episodes without the plot going anywhere. After such a great start to the season I'm feeling really let down now.



Anyway, besides that mystery group that may or may not come to play later on, there were only two minor things that I found at all noteworthy:

1. So, Abraham was hitting on Sasha now? Are we set for three-way soap opera between them two and Rosita? Really not looking forward to it if we are. If that soap opera does happen, though, I'm expecting it just lay the dramatic background to one of them dying.

2. That ending on the radio, "help". Was that the two idiots who took Daryl's bike or was it someone from Alexandria, indicating that things have gone to shit there in the meanwhile?

Yeah, that dude took daryl's motorbike and crossbow. Surely it's gonna come into play in the future.

And I think the radio guy was Glenn. Norman Reedus didn't exactly confirm it was not Glenn. He was laughing and was like "nah nah its not glenn"

Damn you M99, you made me go back and listen to it again and again and again

Sadly, I couldn't tell whether it was Glenn or not, the "help" wasn't succinct and almost inaudible.

At first, I thought it was the guy who stole his crossbow who was the one calling for help, especially when earlier Daryl himself told him and his girl "You'll be" (when she said that they were sorry).

But I wouldn't rule out your theory.

So we have a rocket launcher and a car filled with petrol... I guess we now know how they're fixing the zombie issue on the next episode.

Also the "Help" was definitely by Glenn.

Not even joking. My favourite episode of the season so far. Knew it was lacking something. This was it.

Great to see more of Daryl again.

Some of the shots were amazing
Abraham with that walker hanging off the bridge
That burned kid walker with the biker helmet :banderas:

The "always accountable" episodic-story was well done with Sacha and Abraham's discussions on when and when not you still have choices in this world. And also with Daryl's trust radar weighing the other two throughout the episode but then who at the end stole his bike. That arc will surely comeback in the second half of the season I think.

Next episode is back at Alexandria. Rick was intensely talking to someone, it's probably one of two: Diana or Morgan
And Father Gabriel looks to be up to no good again.

So I think that leaves Glenn's rescue by Daryl, Sacha and Abraham for the mid-season finale.

Let's hope these last two episodes bang!

Oh *bleep* if it was Glenn. Shit, it probably was. *bleep*.




















Maybe it wasn't. Let's hope it wasn't. Glenn is dead.

Really liked this episode although everything you point out is true. It was so stupid that they escaped so easily from the bad guys in the forest!

Oh well, I just let it slip when it comes to TWD because the enterteinment. But I continue to think they could get drama with interligence.

I would have liked it all right if before this episode we had had an episode where the main plot advanced. Three straight episodes without anything happening in the main plot is too much. And if the scenes in this episode had been better written and directed. Pretty much all of the Daryl scenes felt amateurish.

Was glad to see more of Abraham, though, and also digging it how he's losing it a bit and eager to kill walkers / bad people even when it's not necessary. I'm just afraid they might be preparing his death this way

these fodder deaths are soooo fking cringe worthy. The first one where Darryl makes a noise with the bush and the guy walks straight into a walker, like wtf is that?? And it doesn't stop there, he gets his friend to chop half his arm off in ONE fking swing. To top it off you can hear the guy who chopped off off the arm saying 'cmon man, lets walk it off' another thing is WHERE THE FK IS THE BLOOD? you see the guy just casually stands up and walks it off.

2 good episodes follow by 3 fillers. Not sure if im watching walking dead of bleach atm.

Enjoyed the episode tbh. Apart from few bits where I tabbed out.

Abraham was great in this episode. Loved his scenes and the RPG moment was very nicely done. Dem Cigars looked 10/10 would smash.

Daryl needed that episode too. Been some time we saw him in depth. Shame he lost his bike and crossbow Although I am pretty sure that couple will return.

That tractor group looked interesting. Interesting they didn't show the face of that guy in charge.


Deaths in this ep were hilarious. You know sometimes they can't be bothered thinking of a good death so they just go with whatever to progress

It was better than last week's ep tbh. Expecting 2-3 action-packed episodes now followed by another 2-3 fillers.

we had this conversation before as well last season.

Show has become so mainstream that they love to drag it as much as possible. That spin off is a great example.

TWD comics are succinct and never goes sidetrack. If they follow that format, then it'd be about 16 episodes worth of material per season. Less maybe. Reason why season 1 is rated so highly by people is because of how there were no fillers (eventhough half the season was madeup and non-canon)

It's 40% become a money-making scheme for AMC since they have no other shows.

Same. He's a great character and should be more involved. Hopefully he doesn't die.

This wasn't a filler episode by any standard. We got introduced to a new possibly enemy group, we met the couple who stole Daryl's bike, and so on.

Also, don't think there are filler episodes, every episode tells you something, even if it isn't the main plot.

So it appears that Glenn's fate will finally be revealed this Sunday (or Monday depending where you are).

Dead or alive, we will atleast know.

How sure are you about that?
From what I saw from the next episode it looks like they will leave it for mid-seasom finale

Very sure.

Of course the preview would not show a dead/alive body of Glenn. But we'll get a closure for sure.

Can't wait for Abraham to shoot the walker-Glenn with one of those rpg's only for the explosion to propel Glenn's head to Alexandria where it lands right at Maggie's feet who faints from the shock and Rick tries to shoot Glenn's head so it won't bite Maggie but he forgot to put the bullets back in his revolver after letting Ron play with it and Morgan is standing right next to Maggie and could crush Glenn's head with his stick but he hesitates mumbling to himself that all life is precious and Glenn's severed head has time to bite Maggie ironically right on the lips so it looks like they're kissing and then end credits.

Can't wait for Glenn to show up running at the Alexandria gate shouting "OPEN THE GATE" with no explanation whatsoever as to how he escaped that horde of walkers.
