    After the last season and a half I'm not even watching tonight's episode. I will wait until the season ends and if I hear it wasn't a drag out I will watch it. I am sick of 2-3 episodes of material stretched to 8. I know money and ratings are part of the game but this show is taking milking your fans base to Marvel comic highest. They need to stop splitting seasons, it is ruining the show.

    I was more sad when Beth died than Tyrese. I thought he was gonna survive. Although he didn't really do to much in the show. Was he more of a factor in the comics?

    Just found out the guy who plays Noah is Chris from Everybody Hate Chris. I knew he looked familiar but just couldn't put my finger on where. So that's two people from that show (the other being Chris' friend) from season 4. When is Terry Crews gonna be on the show?

    Reading a review for 5 minutes saved me a lot of time not watching the episode last night. So it seems TWD is sticking to their one black dude limit, stay classy. I guess Noah is safe until they introduce another black male to the group....

    If you would have read my post you had quoted you would see I didn't watch it, I read a review on the episode.

    I really hope Lincoln is being honest when he said this season would be 'radically different.' TWD was one of the few shows I watched so I hope it comes back around to greatest. But after last night's review and fan comments it seems last night, at least, was more of the same. I've seen quite a few people comment that it was the worst episode, or as bad as the Daryl and Beth drunken slumber party episode.

    Maybe the worst episode so far....
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    for a second half season opener i agree. Just seemed like they tried to go with the shock em approach with the death of another main character again after Beth, which i think was too early.

    I have not read the comics

    Yep. Pretty rough start to the 2nd half of the season. Like others have said in this thread, it seems like they kill characters off in finales/openers just for the shock value.

    I don't think they have ever killed off a main character in the mid-season premiere. I thought the ep was different. In a good way. I paused it at 43 minutes in to get a drink, and I honestly thought I had watched 10 minutes. that tells me it was good.

    I hated his character in the show. he was so weak he couldn't even kill walkers and just cuddled babies. he was lame, IMO. I kept waiting for the tyrese of the comics to come out. I don't read them, but a buddy tells me he just walks around hitting people in the head with his hammer, a total psycho. he apparently was a badass in the comics, and in the show he was a sensitive child.

    I really don't understand the hate on this show. I mean, I get it with Lost. I watched Lost till the end, hating it/loving it from season 2's finale on, hoping hoping hoping for SOMETHING. But this show doesn't have a shitload of questions that go unanswered like polar bears in the tropics (except how they can travel 1000 miles on one tank of gas without any worries), it's just action and drama. I don't see the problem.

    Sorry, I'll be more careful in my wording from now on. I guess I don't see the point of hate watching shows - or hate reading reviews of them

    why was Tyrese so stupid? he saw the shadow and heard the growling, yet he just turned his back anyway. did he want to die? was that the whole point? he knew that Noah had twin brothers. Duh. that means TWO. one was eaten. so the other one was in the other room.

    For me I am keeping an eye on it hoping it turns around, but until ratings drop I don't see the show-runners changing anything, so I won't give them ratings in the meantime. If enough bored fans would stop hate watching and ratings dropped we might get a great show again...

    so what is wrong with the show currently in your eyes? I'm honestly curious.

    from what i remember it was too late when he turned around the lil bastard had chomped down on him atm. will have to watch again though.

    i looked at tyrese as being pretty badass. soft side but when he needed to kick ass a light went off.

    I liked the episode. I thought it was interesting to see the first person take on what a dying person may be seeing or going through just before death. I thought they did a good job with it--very eerie and chilling. And I liked how he fought against death for a bit--like the poem..."I will not go quiet into that good-night...I will not vanish without a fight...rage, rage against the dying of the light".

    I don't have cable, so I bought WD season 5 through iTunes, so they have a short cast and crew thing also for download, and the actor who plays Tyrese seemed to hint that Tyrese had realized he had done all he could do, his time had come. I don't know if that was in reference to him no longer fighting to live after being bitten, or being careless before being bitten.

    next week should be interesting.

    why does everyone think that the show kills off people just for shock value? every show has a cliffhanger for their finales, so this show is no different. if they didn't have the mid-season break, they still would have killed Beth. they used to do that all the time.

    I'd rather this show went 16 weeks straight instead of the big break. that's really my only complaint. well, that and not knowing where they keep filling up with gas and bullets. LOL
