Very interested in this upcoming season. Although, I wish they'd air it on nights without prime time NFL!!

rursusferre 10-13-2014 07:39 AM

pretty good start. Surprised Terminus fell apart so early in the season.

I'm surprised that happened so fast also. I thought there would be more to that story since they just got there at the end of last season. Fast paced start to this season. Not dropping any spoilers till after most watch it, except one, Morgan at the end of the episode wtf!

Gogan 10-13-2014 10:36 AM

Just watched the first 5 minutes from the link above, but didn't have a clue what you guys were talking about (who is Morgan? Terminus seemed just fine). Then I realized S5 actually started last night. Doh... Wasn't expecting it to start until next year.

Fusa 10-13-2014 03:05 PM

lawl asano, fucking rufs spoiler

but now that the cat is out of the bag, I like the fact they are using a lot of "NOW" "THEN" etc at the end it shows why* that mental case took terminus in the first place.

Gogan 10-13-2014 10:42 PM

Ok, just finished watching. Good start. Brutal beginning. Usually the gore in the show is with the zombies, so it's almost comedic. But that trough scene was intense.

I too am surprised how fast they did away with Terminus, especially since it was the focal point of so many episodes last season. It was cool seeing some of its history in the end -- how it came to be. Kinda wish they spent more time on telling that story. Seemed like at least another episode of it would've been time well spent.

rursusferre 10-14-2014 02:18 PM

Dude....It was a walking dead season 5 thread, how could you not expect people to be talking about the episode in it...sorry

rursusferre 10-14-2014 02:20 PM

So, not sure anyone noticed, but the blonde guy who exchanges looks with rick before his..."shave"....is the dude from last season with the girlfriend with a broken leg who rick lends his watch to.

Also, I found it a stretch that the audience was supposed to pick up on this on their own, but the crazy dude they let out of the boxcar with the beard is the same guy who is part of the raping and pillaging group that says "it won't get better" or something to that effect.

Gogan 10-14-2014 02:40 PM

I wasn't complaining; Fusa and I were just kidding. I fully expect this thread to contain spoilers while the show is on the air.

I didn't pick up on either of those things, but I love when shows put in little references like that from previous seasons. Makes your investment in the show that much more valuable. There used to be (might still be) a show that came on right after Walking Dead called The Talking Dead that usually featured an actress or two from the show and they'd talk about the episode. I always learned about little things that I missed. At some point I really need to go back and rewatch the entire series.

Fusa 10-14-2014 03:34 PM

lol, sorry if I came off the wrong way rufus, hard to sarcasm over forums =D also good catch on the blonde guy I didn't notice that.

McGrupp 10-14-2014 05:54 PM

Good call Mike, I never would've realized that. It took me a few to recognize Morgan. Impressed so far, kinda glad that place went down instantly, back to survival!

rursusferre 10-14-2014 06:21 PM

What's interesting is that they didn't really aknowledge the guy at all. Was pretty subtle. Also the guy on the table who looked like rick was the guy he held at gun point when he first got there. They shot and killed their own guy.

My wife also completely forgot who Morgan was.

Not gonna lie, I did too. I had to google him to find out who you guys were talking about.

Fusa 10-21-2014 02:47 AM

Second episode: Wow the black guy got caught.

also I think the rev might have kicked all of his congression out of the church to the zombies? what else could he have done? guy seems like an all around pussy

rursusferre 10-21-2014 11:32 AM

I'm guessing he just sat there with the doors locked, huddled in a corner while they screamed/cried to be let in. The zombie with the glasses was obviously a good friend who he directly fucked by doing that. Probably even wrote the note.

Bob (the black guy who got caught), just wait, its gonna be cool. Also, I definitely thought that they were gonna make a "dark meat" joke.

I'm curious what is going to happen with this cars with the crosses and kidnapping beth story. It's something that doesn't appear in the comics at all.

It was a little disturbing when he said you don't taste bad at all.

I was wondering if Beth is dead, it's been a while since she was taken. Don't think car-nappers have anything to do with Gabriel.

Oh man, what an awesome ending. I loved that big reveal in the Walking Dead game, and the tv show pulled it off even better. I wish that was how they revealed the group to be cannibals too though, like the game did. Not sure how it went down in the comic. Great ending though. Too bad for Bob.

I had totally forgotten about Beth. I really liked her character last season too. Glad they're bringing her story back.

rursusferre 10-22-2014 06:03 AM

I haven't played the game, so i don't know what happens there. But there is more to this from the comic, but i don't want to go on, because its too much of a spoiler. This season has been good. It's kept up the social drama stuff, but also been exciting. Hope this season keeps it up.

rursusferre 10-27-2014 06:26 AM

seasons staying strong

Yooxra 10-27-2014 10:01 AM

I didn't think the story with the man-eater group was going to end so quickly. It's fine that it did, I thought the plan to ambush them was great.

Wtf is really going on with the Beth stuff.

rursusferre 10-27-2014 11:03 AM

yeah, they didn't waste any time on that, thats for sure. People pointed out that if this was season 3, the gareth would have been around until the finale, bob would take 10 episodes to die and we wouldn't see darryl until 8 episodes later. This season is definitely moving.

Fusa 10-27-2014 02:39 PM

lol rufus it is true though

Gogan 10-27-2014 08:20 PM

This season, much moreso than the others, has been downright gruesome. I don't consider all the zombie-related gore all that gruesome because it often comes across as so over-the-top that it's usually comical. And I don't mean that in a bad way. But this season... man, it's been on a whole other level. In E1 when the canibals were killing people at the trough; E2 with the leg eating at the end; and now E3 with the church. All just brutal to watch.

I called a lot of stuff in this last episode though. During E2, you got the feeling that Bob was bit during the food store raid. And it became pretty clear that Rick's group was setting up a trap. Still, great episode.

Can't wait for next episode to see what's going on with Beth. It looks really good from the preview.

Yooxra 10-27-2014 08:49 PM

The preview made it look like she was in a nut house or a hospital, trapped by zombies. Just looks like something really weird is going on. Now that the main group is splitting I look forward to whats next.

Gogan 10-27-2014 10:27 PM

I assume someone put her in that hospital judging from her gown and bandages. Should be interesting.

I don't expect the group to be split for long. Too many major characters between the two groups. I assume it'll be one last adventure to get Carol and/or Beth back and then they'll be catching up with GIJoe and the gang.

rursusferre 10-29-2014 12:24 PM

My guess is beth had some sort of psychotic break. Darryl said "shes alive, but shes gone". Curious to see what happens as well. I agree asano, this season has been pretty brutal.

rursusferre 11-02-2014 08:01 PM

Another brutal episode. I feel stupid not realizing the preview from last episode was from last season.

Yooxra 11-09-2014 09:00 PM

Eugene got hit pretty hard. I wonder if he is dead.

Fusa 11-10-2014 03:34 AM

LOL he got knocked the fuck out, I was laughing so hard the mullet dropped like a brick

rursusferre 11-10-2014 05:56 AM

i don't think so, but he definitely got knocked the fuck out. Overall probably my least favorite episode of the season so far, but still decent. Just like with Terminus, I thought they would draw out Eugene being full of shit for longer. Considering there is still like 10 episodes left in the whole season, I'm pretty curious to see where they end it. Still been the most solid season in a long time.

rursusferre 11-10-2014 09:01 AM

One thing that I think the show missed out on this episode was explaining abrahams backstory more. Apparently the men he killed were his neighbors, whom he had known for years. When we went out on a run, apparently they raped his wife and daughter. He then went apeshit and killed them. I think it SORT OF implied, but maybe not clear enough for people to 100% get that from the show. Still a good episode, and glad to see those people fleshed out a bit more finally.

Yooxra 11-10-2014 09:31 AM

Just to be clear.

So the family was scared of him for killing the neighbors? Even tho were raped.
The family skipped out on him when he was sleeping and got killed by walkers? He found them and wasn't long for this world. Before he was about to end himself, Eugene showed up like the big giant pussy that he is.

Cause that is what I got from it. I didn't know they were his neighbors, but they seemed like part of a crew. Also was a little hard to tell they were raped, but figured it had to be bad for him to going nuts on them. They looked scared which helped put it together some.

Don't get that guy pissed. He has a nice temper, berserk mode.

rursusferre 11-10-2014 09:50 AM

Yeah, apparently they explained all of this on "The Talking Dead". In the comics the only difference is that its his ex-wife, which I guess is still possible. I guess it explains why the wife has black eyes and stuff. I wish they had been a tad bit clearer. I got that he killed some "living" people, but part of me just thought it was over food or something, and his family seeing him willing to do that, flipped out. Would make sense too, gotta remember this would be kind toward the beginning, people wouldn't quite be used to the whole "kill or be killed" thing. But the fact that they were raped makes it a bit odd. Maybe they'll go more into this. This is from the actors mouth, so maybe he knows more about it, future episodes maybe.

Yooxra 11-10-2014 10:02 AM

Yeah towards the beginning makes it understandable. Killing the living was much less acceptable. You remember in the earlier episodes of people killing people, people were flipping out over it. What they talked about some later in the episode was just about that, I think someone said, people are different now, those that survived are the strong ones that did what they had to. They go on to say stuff like that. Also most of them are more scared of the living now than they are of the dead. But it seems that if they were raped, they were obviously willing to just say screw it, we were raped, you shouldn't of killed them. Cause also early on having five guys on the team to protect them from the walkers had to be a good thing. Till things started going sideways.

rursusferre 11-10-2014 10:06 AM

yeah, i thought that line about "its been long enough, only ones left are the strong" was a really good one.

Gogan 11-10-2014 07:48 PM

Lot of good little moments like that in the last episode. I cracked up when Eugene got caught watching Abraham and GI Jane shackin up. Although I was heartbroken to learn that they were actually an item. She so hot, and he's so... ugh.

It was pretty clear from the start that Eugene was full of shit. I always hated his character. I never liked that whole "gotta get to washington to save the world" storyline, but I think I'll like the ensuing drama now that the jig is up. And I find Eugene more likable now too.

Fusa 11-11-2014 04:14 AM

I somewhat found the same thing about Eugene the mullet, I am starting to like his character ( even if he didn't tell his secret to everyone) he was opening up a little bit prior to spilling the beans.
