I thought that the episode was ok. It was a necessary plot device for where I think the series is headed.

They play around a fair bit with forbearance in this show, and there was a huge one this week other than the obvious.

[spoiler]Tyrese was dead long ago in the comics, and his moral barometer wasn't quite as strident as it was in the show. I wouldn't call him a pussy, probably more conflicted than necessary. I always found it weird that he survived so long, when he was talking to Noah about saving Judith it was like the writers were trying to justify his existence up until that point. Mind you, in the comics Judith also died at the prison.

This episode had one purpose, find a reason to head towards Washington despite Eugenes lies.

In the comics, Rick has always had a right hand man. First it was Shane, then Tyrese, then Abraham and then someone new. In the show, he never had that relationship with any of these characters and Daryl has taken that mantle.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Agree with Freddy in that it was such a nothing episode. Wen I finished, I felt like it could only be half way... Also agree that they butchered Tyresse's character. He was such a badass a few seasons ago when we appeared to be swarmed by walkers, and then just breasted his way out of it. Hopefully it picks up again next week. The character range is so fucking bland at the moment, everyone is stale. Whilst I disliked the visions during the episode, it was awesome seeing the girls and the Governor again. [/spoiler]

I suspect what they are leading to will blow everyone out of the water.

We have a "Rita in the bathtub" moment coming, although I don't think that it will be this season, probably the midseason break of s6.

I expect that they'll meet a character called Aaron in the next couple of episodes.

Anybody see the opening episode of 'Gallipoli' on 9 tonight?

Meant to catch it, but didn't get back till late and ended up watching a movie with the missus as a result.

Didn't see it, doco or drama?

Nothing could break my heart more than the death of Hershall. He and I were just good pals.

The best part of the day after a TWD episode is all the gifs on reddit.

Spoiler, obviously, god-damn it Noah.

Drama. Missed it as well sadly. The biggest TV series in Australian history in terms of time to make and budget apparently.

Just got through the second last episode of season one of Vikings. It wasn't easy watching!

The shit people do thanks to religion...

There is some very brutal stuff in Vikings. Excellent show though. And it just gets better and better IMO

Well it was worth it to get through to the last episode of season one and see Alyssa Sutherland's entrance. My goodness.

And she's a Brisbane product. \:d/

Saw the first two episodes yesterday. It's going to be great, for sure. Odenkirk is on fire.

I actually find her quite in attractive unfortunately. Just not my type in the slightest.

Yeah I've been very pleasantly surprised with how well it's started, that desert scene in episode two felt like classic Breaking Bad.

Yeah I was worried if he could carry a similar show at such a high level as Breaking Bad as the lead but he clearly can with ease.

If anyone hasn't seen him in the Fargo series alongside an equally brilliant cast, do yourself a favour and get on it.

Finally got around to catching up on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. So happy Nick Kroll made an appearance - I'm hoping every single James Franco roaster gets a cameo in this show :lol:

Walking slowly aaaaaw yeah

You should really watch The League if you haven't already, it stars Nick Kroll and features a lot of the Franco roasters at some stage or another, Seth Rogen in particular plays a pretty memorable character.

I keep getting told about it, and keep forgetting to get ahold of it. It will be my mission today!

I think I'm done with The 100.
I'm just about done with Arrow.
Gave up on Flash a while ago.
I've heard that Gotham has really picked up after I dropped it, but I haven't had the inclination to go back yet.

Yet to try Agent Carter, Better Call Saul, Fargo, Vikings and some other mentions.

TWD: It's obvious now that the show, other than some irreversible character changes in the first few seasons, is coming back to be relatively on-par with the comics so I'm going to stop talking about where we're at and where we're going to save from spoilers.

Ep10: [spoiler]Noah is still a useless cunt. I really can't figure out what his purpose in the show is.

Smooth of the show runner to refuse to show Glenn eating dog :lol:[/spoiler]

I found the episode where [spoiler]Tyreese[/spoiler] died (what I'm up to date with) to be freaking boring, and hard to stay actively involved in. Hoping the next few eps are better!

Yep, was a necessary but weak episode. Lots of filler.

John Stewart leaving The Daily Show sometime this year :cry:

SNL 40 was amazing. 2 and a half hours of the best television you'll ever see. They did so well to pay tribute to one of the most influential shows ever made in one night.

Just watching TWD EP 10 now and my f***ing Foxtel keeps dropping out! So I just missed a 5 minute chunk of so... Very frustrating.

it will be replayed a thousand times throughout the week

yep. 10:30 then again in 330 in the morning and thats today only :lol:

I've finished the ep, but it was very fragmented. Staying up to watch it again on FX+2

I don't understand why they changed the format to extend it to 16 episode seasons, there has been way too much filler and the show is suffering as a result IMO.

EDIT Talking about The Walking Dead.
