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 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
