The Walking Dead season premiere tomorrow...anyone else?

[ladyjane]

For me, I honestly am past it. If it ended, I would not be disappointed. I am quite frankly tired of the games they are playing with the fans.

That last episode was. not. a. cliffhanger. Well....some was but who was beaten to death was not. I know...I am not the writer; but, I am one of many fans who feel the same way. One of the many who refuse to sit and waste time trying to figure out who was beaten by Negan.

With that said, I think we'd have a riot if TWD didn't get renewed and ended with that episode. LOL

Yes, there have been many ... but those are the ones that are not renewed. They just go "poof". That is very annoying. Wicked City was done after three shows because of bad ratings. I was very disappointed. I almost hate to start watching a new show/series. Better to wait it out and then, if it is successful, play catch up.

Again, I won't be joining any riots. At this point, they can cancel for all I care. Maybe next season I will feel differently. We shall see.

I've had a love/hate relationship with Walking these past 2 seasons. I think I posted before I kind of stopped watching during season 5. I just got annoyed with the filler episodes that I got bored watching, wasn't heavily invested in the characters anymore, etc. After re-watching the entire series, my love for it was rekindled, albeit I did skip through a few episodes which is the benefit to watching it in binge-fashion (i.e. the episode that featured Beth in the hospital... the ENTIRE episode...)

And I got extremely excited when I watched the mid-season premiere of season 6 and how good it was. I had a lot of faith that it was getting better again! And honestly, I still do. I think it was a crap move not to show us who died because by the time October rolls around, I don't think it's going to effect me as much. AND if they pick a lame character that's not that important like Aaron to kill off; I'll be pissed. As much as we all want our favorites to live, you don't leave us hanging for 7 months only to reveal a minor character death that doesn't hit us very hard. Honestly I've grown to love Eugene and Abraham but I still don't think their deaths would matter AS much to the hardcore fan-base. And if it's Glenn, we're all prepared for that now with all the rumors and speculations, so I won't be surprised at all when/if it happens.

I don't even mind the cliffhanger so much as it was just kind of a boring episode, not finale material. The last 15 mins were the only time my heart was pounding. I do think they picked the right actor for Negan and I am curious to see how this plays out. I think season 7 has some really really good potential so I'm definitely going to be tuning in week after week unless it just becomes intolerable.

Although, when Rick first realized he was captured and on his knees and there basically nothing he could do... OMG that LOOK on his face... was heartbreaking. To see our leader so distraught was heart-wrenching. Wonderful acting by Andrew Lincoln there.

I'm not big on Fear the Walking Dead but I'll probably watch just to keep my Sunday's occupied. I haven't quite finished season one; only watched 4 episodes... isn't there 6? I just found the acting to be subpar which annoyed me. One thing I love about TWD is most of the cast are great actors. Most of the cast in Fear annoy me. lol. And it's just kind of cliche.

I'm thinking perhaps TWD has done so well that FTWD seems bit inferior in many ways. For me, it was more of the characters that annoyed me than anything else. Also, it's bit too slow. Maybe it'll get better as it goes on.

Am I the only one that LOVED FTWD???? I seriously watched it 3 x's...going on 4th. LOL can't wait for season 2.

The finale of TWD, the ending scene...from the pits of hellllll! It was awful, nightmarish & cruel...oh I can still hear the gory 'thud'...good job sound people.

Totally - that look on his face of terrorizing helplessness was just perfectly acted! He is so good.

Yup, I'm kinda the same way. I'll most definitely watch FTWD bc I'm interested, but I'm not riveted at this point. And I'm also bugged bc they got a few things wrong in the first episodes. I mean, the kid was going through HEROIN withdrawal for petes sake and barely suffered *at all*...I mean, hello..??!! Heroin w/drawal is absolutely brutal - and they could've and should've used that fact to add interest to his situation. There were times when he had no replacement drugs at all - and he was just 'ho hum' gettin' buy quite well -- that's not how it goes in real life, not at all. So that really annoyed me big time.

It also annoyed me and boggled my mind that in almost all the first episodes, no one was actually really talking to each other about what was really going on - it was so freakin' bizarre! Whereas if it was real life, you'd be talking about that and ONLY that, ya know???

Do any of you read the WD comic books? If so, which do you like best, the books or the TV series? I am sooooo hooked on the comic books!

YES and the way the step-father (what's his name? the one with the exwife and son Chris) when he went into the building where Nick had been when he first saw a walker eating someone. He went there to check it out and then brought Nick's mom (his wife? girlfriend? I don't even know...) and I just felt like their reactions fell flat. They hardly reacted. And there was blood *everywhere* like clearly something beyond human went on, or something, I don't know... I just think reactions are not played out well, maybe because we all already KNOW stuff about the "dead" as do the actors due to it being a prequel therefore they're not portraying things quite as well as they should if they were truly seeing these horrifying things for the first time. Thinking back to Rick in the pilot episode of TWD is a great example, I mean he was terrified.

Exactly! Such strange, flat reactions...it just didn't make any sense to me.

Okay, saw Sunday night's FTWD...sigh. It was good, but not great; no honestly, it was just okay. I mean, WHO dives into water that is full of zombies, just to see what's up...? I'm sorry, but that was one of the dumbest scenes ever.

I don't know why, but Madison/Maddy really bugs me - her character really annoys me at this point and I hope that gets better. The only characters I like right now are Nick and Daniel (the other Father/Dad). Daniel is like a world-class bad-a$$, but it's hidden under that cool, collected, focused exterior. I think Nick will develop into an increasingly interesting character over time.

I agree, that scene made me go "wtf?" and I got back to playing around on my computer with the episode on in the background. Just... dumb. I mean people aren't known to be the brightest in emergency situations but... really? THAT dumb? LOL... and the stupid teenage girl talking to that guy on the phone telling them EXACTLY where they are? GAWD, I just, can't even.

I do like Nick, that's about it. Don't know if I'll keep watching or not. At this point it's just something to fill my Sunday nights.

I'm seriouslty looking forward to watching the AMC 6 part mini series with Hugh Laurie () and Tom Hiddleston The Night Manager.. just wish it was more than just a mini series. It looks SOO good and Hugh Laurie is my fav.

I would not have guess there would be a big TWD post on a Yorkie forum. But once we get count up on Fear ill be back.

I too think that The Night Manager is going to be really good!!
