Hopefully TWD won't do what it usually does and have one epic ep followed by a few filler eps before ramping things up for the end of season.

Neegan didn't swear enough (His language is stunning in the comics) although I think that was to no detract from the power play between Neegan and Rick. Hopefully, Neegan will get some of the great one-liners from the comics.


Quick mention for Westworld - I'm watching but only because I'm hoping for a big payoff. I really want to like the show but it's very slow.

Wolfcreek is a good series if anyone is looking for alternatives. Black Sails isn't bad for some swashbuckling and a Game of Thrones level of ***** on show.

That's what'll happen though - always does.

One or two good episodes, then nt much happens, followed by a good episode to capture your attention before mid season break, bit more dead post mid season followed by a cliffhanger or two at the end of the season-

Anyway, enjoyed that episode

Last night's show was utter cr@p. Same old formula - great first episode, followed by an entire season full of boring nonsense, and then an epic last show to keep you wanting more. seriously going off this now, after watching every single season from the start....

Thought it was quite good, the psychological torture and attempting to break Daryl.

It doesn't always have to be mindless Z violence to be entertaining you know.

If there was just slaying of zombies every week then they'd be complaining that there was not enough character exploration or depth....

That's what I love about the show! The fact that it's got some depth to it and you actually get to know the characters rather than just a full on gore fest.

Yeah it is good. Second season was better than the first. It's set in the same timescale as TWD but in LA instead. like the guy said above, not as good but definitely worth a watch.

Yes I watched that in between waiting for s7 and thought it was ok too, but I have more attachment to the characters of TWD.

Yeah I agree with you their busta. I do like the characters though, but don't get the attachment the same with them as I do with the walking dead.

Lol, it's from the beginning of twd when it was actually nerve wrenching to watch which made it addictive and the characters that played the part has a huge effect on it, you kind of get to know them and I like them.

The FOTWD seemed to me of when it all just started and they have their own characters, only 2 seasons so far and I'm just starting to like a few characters in there so may just get on par with twd. Too less episodes compared to twd.

Both good, but I hate it when I'm now waiting for more episodes to be shown! I liked it when I was just watching them back to back lol.

Need to find something else to pass my time while they build up for me again.

Agreed! The characters have got better as the episodes have got along. but something big needs to happen to bring the program alongside the walking dead.

If you have Netflix, trailer park boys and narcos are excellent.

I didn't think we needed an entire episode of Daryl sat in a box.

It is a zombie show after all

Well I finally got round to watching TWD this morning and I have to say I agree with Bioforger. That was a pretty good episode, it made for a real contrast between how easily Negan broke (the increasingly unstable) Rick and the harder time he's having with Daryl (who lets be honest is hard as nails).
