Omg more zombies...seriously though it hopefully will pickup now

It isn't about the zombies.

I have said it before and I will say it again, FMB has my utmost respect when it comes to his opinion. More times than not, I believe I am wrong and he is right. But with season 2, I just cant jump on board that it was character development and not a lurching mess of a season.

I'd like to thank the official walking dead Facebook page for spoiling the entire episode 20 minutes after it aired in the eastern/central timezone. I'm sure the mountain/Pacific and all other timezones appreciated it as well.

That happend to me....I was pissed. Actually alot of people were. Not smart

I've never seen them do shit like that before. Total bush league bullshit.

Me either....i usually avoid twitter to avoid people spoiling it. As of 45 min ago they apologized for it via Facebook saying they jumped the gun and it won't happen again. Atleast they owned it.

Screenshot of apology

I had no doubt they'd apologize. They probably lost a ton of followers on FB. I unfollowed their posts because of it.

I did as well....as I left the chiefs game I opened the app and that damn image was the first thing I saw. Tried to warn the wife at home not to look but it was too late. Huge mistake... I avoid this thread and twitter exclusively cause of spoilers. Its one thing to have post with more info but a dam image? Really?!

I'm also glad we can move on from the hospital, lets start the next half of the season by running up on this supposedly even more terrifying than Terminus group of baddies.

Exactly. I didn't come into this thread for a week because I was an episode behind.

Yeah, I heard about the FB thing. I know a lot of people were really ****ing pissed off. I don't know why people have to be the "1st" to get shit out like that. Christ, use your brain.

It's a little more of a nightmare with a show like TWD, because it's immediately followed by TD which is a live show with live social media participation. And Hardwick hosts, so I assume it's recorded on the west coast.

Quit watching, you literally must hate every show for not being A++++ everyweek with action.. **** story and character building..

Apocalyptic future with zombies. People are going to die.

Make sure you do not watch game of thrones, you will really hate it..

last night’s WD was watched by 14.8 million, with 9.6 million among adults 18-49.

shatterd last seasons mid season finale. This damn show is beating most network shows ratings, which is insane. People LOVE this shit. It just grows and grows and its in season 5. Thats unreal.

That's just ****ing amazing, Coral.

Game of thrones - isn't that a show about a bunch of guys wieners? /South Park

GoT is exactly what TWD isn't on this front. Lots of people die, but they die because events have set their fate. People die on TWD because they're pretty and its a season finale.

Doesn't everyone die because events have set their fate? I mean, the fatass that eats five buckets of extra crispy a day... Event: Fried Chicken - Fate: Heart Attack

Event: Being a gay dude that does magic shows with a tiger in Vegas.
Fate: Tiger eats gay guy.

No you're right, Ned dying because he tried to be an honorable man in a situation that screamed for dishonor is as lazily written as Beth dying because she had to try to kill someone who had a gun that she would never see again with a pair of scissors.

I have no idea what you're talking about but it looks like you get my point so that's good.

His point is that Ned's death has thematic significance. Beth's death is the television series equivalent of click bait.

Oh ok. So if I got this right, we're comparing two shows that have nothing in common. Ones about dragons and kings and trolls and governmental bodies etc. The other is about the zombie apocalypse and cannibals and mean people.

Kinda like comparing The Jeffersons to NYPD Blue. It's apples and oranges.

So Andy Sipowicz is moving on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky?

No, the Silver Spoons guy is moving on up.

One is a tale of a chemistry teacher who turns to drug dealing to provide for his family, another is a 'documentary' about a fat redneck toddler and the pedophiles her mom dates.

They're both on TV, I guess they're both equally good.

I hated that show, especially after Ricky Schroder wouldn't shoot the deer because his vagina hurt.

LMAO GOT IT!

If I got this right, the only reason the two are being compared is because I remarked on shitty writing and someone warned me that if I couldn't handle characters dying, I should stay away from GoT.

Yeah, you're right...

I've never seen an episode of GoT, I'm considering checking it out.

Jujitsu Instructor buddy raves about that show. I’ve been hoping to catch season 1/2 somewhere so I can get the back story before diving into the new season.

You really really REALLY need to watch it from the beginning to the present without spoiling yourself in the interim. It's a great show, but not one you just dip your toe into from time to time. Basically it's all one gigantic saga that builds on itself as it goes along. Not every episode is mandatory watching, but skipping entire seasons or starting up with the present episodes is not advised.

I could. not. agree more with this statement.

I would add, don't be daunted by all the episodes to catch up on. It's gonna be a while before there are new episodes, or even hype to be spoiled by.
And it won't be a slog. It won't be homework.
If anything you'll have difficulty stopping once you start watching.

GoT is one I've been wanting to check out as well. Is it buy chance on Amazon Prime for free?

Standby while someone less lazy looks that information up for you....


;)



No.

If you have HBO, you should be able to get all eps on your HBO-GO account.

GOT is not on amazon prime only HBO go app

Time to get this thread back on topic...

ROFL

Someone else (not you?) told BL he shouldn't watch GoT because he didn't like the meaningless death of Beth. He just refuted it by saying the death of Beth is nothing like the supposedly "meaningless" deaths on GoT.

I'm cutting Gonzo some slack at this point. He later revealed he hasn't seen GoT. So he was comparing the two in the abstract. Much more understandable reaction given that information.

:D

I haven't bought my Prime yet - getting ready to. Figured someone who already had it would know.

I cancelled HBO after they ****ed me out of another season of Deadwood. Never went back.

I love you too. (Some homo)

100%, and I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't started GoT and can now watch fresh from the beginning. Once you start watching, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to see every episode.

Found it on the dish on HBO On Demand, gonna start a marathon watch this weekend.
Far as that goes might start it tonight after The Flash. ;)

I'd submit its also one of the most rewatchable shows as well. You catch a lot armed with foreknowledge. But that's different from watching for the first time knowing what's coming due to spoilers.

Ok. I'll give it a shot. What the hell.

Just finished the last episode.


Wife cried. They should have cleaned house at the hospital.

It looks like they take Beth back to the farm to bury her. :(

Make your wife watch Talking Dead. 'Beth' guests and tears up several times reminiscing about working on the show.

Oh, we watched that, too. She wouldn't stop crying.


I fast forwarded through that shit to the preview for next 1/2 season. ;)

Wife was not impressed.

Basically.

In walking dead a lot of main characters die, just like GoT. Both are top shows.
Everyone knew a death was coming, it is an apocalyptic tv series. People are going to die tons of ways. Not all of them herioc or meaningfully.

Would a cut on her finger and dying of infection been a better death?
Her death and how it happened reminded people that shit is ****ed up and makes nothing makes sense in their lives. It reminded them of it. Reminded the viewers also it seems.

The only thing I am shocked of was there was no big shoot out and more deaths..

Also per Baby Lee's suggestion, you might want to watch season 1 twice. It takes a lot of watching to understand the characters and houses.

Yeah, I wish I could recall where I saw it, but there was a video recap that laid out rapid fire style what looked to be a whole season of plot developments.

And the tag line was 'and that was just the first episode.' And you're like 'holy shit, that was just the first episode!!'

no. I love game of thrones, mad men, rescue me, etc etc.

But i'm not a fanboi like you who just slobbers all over themselves for whatever crap is on TV. I can see bad writing and can call it out.

And i used to watch it religiously, but now i just check in once in a while to see if it's any good again.. Sadly it isnt.

how many Rick Tshirts do you have...you know you have some. I bet you have the mobile app, follow them on fb, on twitter dont you.

:popcorn:

:doh!:

Well, you've got that going for you... Which is nice.

What I have noticed the most about the Walking Dead is people who watch it are passionate. Both sides of the coin. Someone calls it brilliant, another will come in and say it is dogshit and they go back and forth. It is not just your typical internet chatter. We are talking like "your opinion is offensive to me" type responses. It is pretty interesting to read.

I think it is good, not great. I just wish Breaking Bad or The Wire got this kind of attention.

if we talking bout the "pussy ass" priest (lol) he is also on Teen Wolf.

I'm ashamed that I know that.

I have said this exact same thing about Breaking Bad....
me and the wife wanna check out GoT but it's not available anywhere I've found. netflix ect...

so....am I to understand that if I have HBO I can see GoT from the very first episode? I have dish and I have HBO...but I don't really know anything about HBO GO.

ah screw it. just own it!
that purtyl lil asian gal is making me forget all about that other chick that died.

You should have, or be able to have, a password for HBO GO with your satellite subscription. If you haven't received anything from HBO yet, go to HBO.com and enter your info.

ah OK....so it's a streaming app for watching on your pc yes....not on TV?
thanks for the info.

PC, BlueRay with WiFi, XBox, Chromecast, Roku. Web browser viewing is probably easiest, but there are tons of ways to port it over to the TV. If nothing else, download and burn to DVD at the most clunky/primitive.

cool!
I'll try using XBOX.
thanks man!

modern tech....it's awesome...

watched first two episodes of season 1 last night.
velly intellesting!

tittas urrywhur.....people dieing all over the place....heads getting chopped off. YAY!

but they killed a dog! WTF! :cuss:

stupid show!

Some of these crack me up. Rick and Carol' s progressions through the seasons.

https://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/-...202656211.html

Anyone heard about this before?

Heh, guess I missed that.

Why wouldn't they use the characters from season one that split off from the main group? The Hispanic guy and his wife...
I've always wondered what happened. I liked him in the first couple episodes.
