Vee, I'd forgotten that. Hmm.


I have a feeling it won't happen (I mean Richonne), although I hope I'm wrong.

I think Andrew Lincoln said he improvised the Rick/Tyreese bit in the episode? If so, I'm glad he did.

I won't call Carol a hero because it lessens the bad assery! The great thing about Carol causing the mayhem that released her team is that this was a gradual process. We watched her evolved. Carol, prior to the outbreak at the prison and the exile from the group, would not have been able to pull that off. It was an amazing [totally believable] eppy for her. Melissa rocked!

I hope Bob does not go, but I'm afraid we are stuck with Tyrese because he has a sibling. I swear this guy acts like there is time for twice a week counseling. He is a mess and I can't take him! I like that he slayed the walkers but he has not snapped out of it yet. Tyrese is a liability.

The reunions were the best part of the eppy and that says a lot since the eppy was so damn good.

So happy we are not at Terminus for an entire season. I was shocked they'd be free in the first eppy and it was nicely done.

That comment about Tyreese cracks me up. I do like him though. I think he and Carol are a good duo together.

There are so many relationships on this show with such beautiful little moments. I loved last night when that walker was about to kill Rick and Daryl saved him just in time.

I was kind of shocked, I know a lot of people were mad from season 4 finale. I wasn't expecting them to beat last seasons premiere ratings. The funny part these are live ratings, wait until all the dvr ratings come in.

Network TV must be pissed that a basic cable show is killing them, it even beat football last night!!

I've begun to wonder if they may actually have Tyreese and Carol hook up on the show after all. As twisted as it is, they now seem closer to each other than almost anyone else (sans Darryl - but Darryl doesn't know the things about Carol that Ty and Rick do).

I also keep thinking one or both of them have a target on their back this year, but I thought last year was Melissa McBride's last round-up too.

The first few moments of last night's episode terrified me. I don't remember the last time I got scared watching a show on TV!

I pretty much like everyone but Abraham. I just don't get him. But I've heard he was very popular in the comics. I admit I am surprised Michael Cudlitz got a higher billing placement than Emily Kinney and Chad Coleman.

Extraordinary premiere to Season 5. Tense and scary, edge of your seat entertainment. Everything worked (except the Red soldier, the rat-like scientist and the girl with the age-inappropriate hairdo). The reunions were very touching (yes, I cried) and God damn that post-credits shocker was beautiful! Carol was the motherfucking bad ass of the YEAR!

I'm just glad the Carol/Tyreese relationship is so different on the show than in the comics.

I can see where Abraham would work in a comic. He just feels shoehorned in on TV. He belongs on a different show. He belongs in some type of A-Team remake. His whole crew is much more suited to that atmosphere.

If they point out how isolated and odd that crew is and how they struggle to fit in with the others, that might be a good story.

If they have Abraham/Rick leadership battles, I'm just going to roll my eyes.

I thought they would drop, that the ratings had peaked after 4 seasons. I was shocked that they increased. They sure deserved it. The whole cast and crew put so much work into that premiere - it was a thing of beauty.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
