I never expected Terminus and Gareth to be handled by episode 3. I really expected it to last until the midseason break, or longer.

Me too! Great suspense and the feeling of dread for the people in the church. When I had read that they built the church from the ground up I thought man some shits gonna go down there! I may stop reading Variety..

Felt really bad about bob going since he just found some sense of happiness and meaning in his world. He was no longer a bad luck drunk but the smile and laughter for the group. Seeing them split was crazy. After all they have been trough and discovering each and every one of them has saved the others life they would split up.


Realistically that short bus can make it to DC in a couple of days if they get lucky and find some gas along the way. They could make it all the way to DC and we may not see them for a season! the horror!


I bet we see a few new season regulars introduced next week. Tons of faces have gone and the teams are getting thin.



Great first three episodes and probably the best three episodes of the series. Taught, well paced and clear vision with no big wtf moments.


!!!!!


Talking dead showed some intersting stuff. Made me get chocked up when they showed the pic of Bob on set and how he tried to boister the crew and his fellow actors spirits. Great job by Bob all around with his character. Maybe like idris elba in lost this will launch his career in a bigger trajectory.


The guy who played Gareths character did a great job making him creepy! That guy needs to do a sit com or a kids show next so he doesnt get blackballed as creepy.

In the Talking Dead, they mentioned that they wanted to film in a real church, but they didn't feel it was appropriate due to the brutality that they were planning on (Rick's machete gorefest), so they built a fake one instead. They also mentioned that the actor who played Bob kept the set pretty upbeat...apparently people get affected by the sets & scenes and it gets pretty somber...

Ya, I had to check too. I'm guessing he's thinking of the big guy.

Idris Elba is much harder to miss. Dude is charming as hell -- no homo.

It would be funny if a zombie grabbed the baby and bit into its belly!

What are we on now...T-Dog 4.0?

I'm not one to point out racial junk in a t.v. show, but do they have a black, male quota? Tyrese doesn't count for some reason, but they sure seem to lose them and replace them within an episode.

Instead of the lame Kenny Powers knock off they have as Eugene, they should have just used the real deal

Coming from a seasoned TWD hater... Wow this show is actually good again.

I completely skipped season 4 after getting fed up with the boring storylines and awful writing of S2 and S3. Just randomly decided to give it another chance.

They've actually finally figured out how to drive the plot forward. And not have their characters constantly make idiotic decisions. I was blown away that they didn't stretch out this cannibal storyline for the entire season.

Hopefully they can keep this up for a full season. Yay zombies!

Very impressive first three episodes so far. They really seem to have corrected some of the issues which, while they did not stop me from watching, had me gritting my teeth and rolling my eyes in recent seasons.

I'm actually looking forward to what appears to be a complete Beth episode to catch us up on what happened/is happening with her. Feels like a long time coming. I was pretty tired when I watched the episode last night; are we expecting Carol and Beth to pop out of the woods behind Daryl after he motioned back to them, or just one of them (or none)?

I will admit I did enjoy Gareth as a creepy bad guy in the show way more than someone like the Governor, who was just annoying. Kind of a shame to see him go. Having his hand shot off was pretty awesome though.

The whole thing with Daryl scouting the church first is confusing me. He could have easily scouted while still hidden so what reason does he have to show himself first while keeping the other(s) hidden? Whether it is Beth and/or Carol and/or others it seems to me that they all could have revealed themselves at the same time. All I can think of is it is purely for the cliffhanger effect.

Yeah, that is my assumption as well. Pure cliffhanger stuff.

I do hope they do not just use the stupid baby as a noisemaker during tense moments all season. It's kind of annoying they even have a baby on the show, just feels like dead weight.

They had a big stash of formula for a long time. I would assume now someone chews up the foot and feeds her. Shes at the age where you transition from formula though they could extend that a while for the nutrition.



I dont want to know how they wipe their asses. Some things I suspend in the whole disbelief thing...

I totally agree with you on that. I wish they had handled Judith differently from the start. But I guess what "originally" happened would be too much for TV?

Anyway, definitely a great start to the season. Personally I liked the earlier seasons in the prison and on the farm, but I am ready to see them head to DC. I can't believe they split up, though. I'm thinking now that Abraham's group is gonna get a few miles up the road, get stuck in a situation they can't handle, and then Rick's group will save them, making Abraham realize he needs the whole group and causing them to stick together.
