Last night....ewwww, told you Gareth was still alive and munching.....on Bob's leg too.

The Dimer

I started joking with my friends that if Bob died I was out, but now that it's coming I'm actually really sad he's only got a few episodes (at best) left. Yeah he didn't offer much to the group (or the show in general) but we was just so happy all the time which is something you really don't see out of anyone else in the group.

It is nice to see them staying true to the comic book though, albeit with a different character.

Who gets eaten in the comic book version?

Jordo!

Okay... interestingly Kirkman got the writing credit -- I have mixed feelings on whether it was "better", but I am pleased they are simply doing the "Fear the Hunter" story arc.

The whole Terminus segueway could have been and should have been skipped, but here we are.

Does anyone know if Kirkman is going to be doing more of the writing (and if so why? Angry fans of comic? Shred of integrity?) or is it simply that this bit so close to the comic, he just took the full credit on the script?

A clue on his website was a claim that this season will follow the comic more closely than before (not a bad plan...), but I don't know what that really means...

Anyway, that Gareth dude (or whatever wuss boy's name is) is much more believable as the head "hunter" from the story (a small band of nuts) than the leader of a large group who runs a whole compound of violent cultists, so this should be okay... although this particular story arc isn't really THAT great (or especially important), its waaaaaaay better than the whole seasons devoted to dying of bird flu and wandering in the woods...

You already know how this story will end up if you were paying attention... I'll give you a hint: The "meal" has the last laugh

Without giving away any spoilers, they are also doing a pretty good job of making the Abraham and co. side story seem believable -- better than in the comic IMO -- although I still think someone more Hulk Hogan-y would have made a better Abraham.

Oh well... hope they hurry up and bring on Negan and the Saviors!

Dale (older guy, boonie hat). Allegedly because Kirkman felt bad having so many terrible things happen to Herschel, they kind of swapped part of Dale and Herschel's story arcs/roles in the tv story. So... if everything had gone in keeping with the book, Herschel would have been outlived by Dale (I think...), Tyrese would have been killed by the Governor, not Herschel, and Dale would have been chomped on by the Hunters... but I think they changed the order of events too. I'm pretty sure the Hunter story was before the Woodbury arc, but I can't recall...

The short version is: Dumb Zombie Comic Different and Vastly Better than Dumb Zombie TV Show (with the possible exception of the first episode, first season, which was really good).


Whoops -- I think I may have misinterpreted your post (didn't read it carefully... sorry). So you are reading the comic? I think I thought you hadn't yet. Have you gone back to read the earlier stories or did you pick it up in the middle?

I'm thinking something happened down in that basement to him, why else would he run off where he did and start tearing up. Maybe he did get injured by that under water walker and was hiding it from everyone and now that they are having him as dinner idk that's what I was thinkin

Thats what I'm thinking too, he got bit or scratched and did not want to tell anybody. But the series has no real period of virus incubation....I mean they are all infected, but it takes a Biter to activate it or you die and then it activates. So if he got bit in the cellar, its a least a few hours before we see him in the woods crying about it. I thought you turned quicker than that....

Observation: The car that had Beth in it perhaps, had a cross on the back window...what does that mean? Is the preacher tied to this somehow?

"TAINTED MEAT".......how fvcking awesome!!

If there is one thing I've learned about this show, is you can't make everyone happy. When they try to be a real drama, people complain about not having enough action. They throw in non stop action, people complain that it's not true enough to the comic. They bring in lots of zombie killing and comic based arcs, and we're back to the lack of human based drama complaining.

Trying to compare this to the comic is a bit fallacious. You just have to accept that this isn't the canon of the comic, and because mediums are so totally different, that to complain about that fact is utterly ridiculous. I for one am glad to see plenty of action, and am glad that they made this season start off so action oriented, but then again I value character and plot development; so I'm cool if none of that happens in an episode so long as an episode does one or both.

How is it that a black man dies and another one replaces it? As soon as I saw the pastor, I knew Bob was going to be dead meat. They did the same thing with Tyrese and T-Dogg

Tainted meat! Four walls and a roof! Try and stop me! And my personal fav I MADE YOU A PROMISE! God I loved this episode. What's up / who's with Daryl tho?

"Tainted meat" and "i made you a promise" did it for me.
