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.

    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
