Anybody watched the new episode yet? Nasty. A lot of people are saying the series has now shifted into the realm of "torture porn". I'm not sure I would disagree.

Not the two I would have picked either, but then I guess they have to go for people that you care about or be accused of being a copout. Just felt there was some bland faces there who could have been chopped in dramatic fashion.
Can you imagine the outcry if that level of violence......had been inflicted on one of the females?
Yeh, though I was hoping one of them would be Maggie. After the Glenn fake out and them finally getting back together it would have been fiendishly cruel. Plus, they surely can't bring in another baby so she has to be on borrowed time - though she could quite probably have lost the baby anyway after that trauma. Would also have been happy to see Carl go. Or that guy whose name I don't even know. The bland one with curly hair. Felt Glenn and Abraham still had a part to play in the story. Suppose losing them opens up opportunities for other less interesting characters to develop.Just Morgan, Carl and Rick left from Ep 1 now.
I think, to an extent, they are still taking the source material (ie. the comics) into consideration with regards to the fate of some characters. Although people like Daryl are merely there because of overwhelming popularity within the fan community. It would be suicide on the part of the showrunners to get rid of him.
Because of the comics, most people seemed to know Glenn's number was up, and the whole eyeball hanging out thing was from the comics too (I still think it was a step too far to show it and prolong his suffering for ten long seconds).
The "bland" guy with curly hair you're referring to is possibly Aaron? One half of the token gay couple who stalked them before offering them sanctuary in Alexandria? The show had already recently killed off one of the only two lesbians, so I knew it wouldn't be him. Or do you mean Eugene? He of the curly mullet? I'm a bit sick of Rick to be honest. It was a welcome respite when we started to get episodes which didn't feature him at all.
OTT.
Its a savage series set in a savage time but the pulping of heads was unnecessary.
However, that's exactly what my dad said afterwards ^^Not sure I could really call it entertainment anymore, didn't particularly enjoy that 44 minutes at all…
Yup, it's all about shooting the zombies. We Brits soon get bored with that response.
Yer average Brit'd deal with such a threat with an almost imperceptible sigh and then a knuckle butty or a kick up the arse.
We would invent a new game, sort of Zombie cricket skull smack with rules and sandwiches and tea. The rest of the world would pick it up except the USA who would have another game, with a similar name but using tanks or machine guns. They would call it a World Series even though they are the only ones playing it.
Turns out the 9pm showing last night was censored!
The 10pm "plus 1" showing was intact (as was the previous nights 2am showing) and includes one characters final dialogue snipped for 9pm.
Thankfully Virgin catch-up had the full version.
No, I'll give it a go!Have you watched Z Nation?
Quite savage as well but a strong line of dark humour running through it.
Season 3 is on Pick at present on Tuesdays 10 pm.
There's a low quality clip ofbeing killed by Negan, instead ofMaggie, doing the rounds. It allegedly leaked just prior to the season 7 premier on Sunday night. It plays out exactly the same as the first death, with one blow from "Lucille" followed by Negan's "taking it like a champ" spiel beforeAbrahamdefiantly spits a mouthful of blood at him.Maggie
Agreed .. It's all gone Star Trek - The Next Generation for me Ringo ... zombie lite .. now I'm just waiting for Whoopie Goldberg to sit everyone down around a table so they can all openly discuss their feelings. The last episode I saw from the new batch had Rick being a vicious bastard which made sense after all he's been through but it's all dragging on a bit now ..I gave up on TWD after Season 4. I loved the original premise but it stagnated very quickly for me. I tried Fear The Walking Dead too, to see if it would look at the whole thing from a different angle. But the first season of that was terrible.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for the real thing.
