A little disappointed with last nights. Not that it wasn't good, just after all the hype and hiatus I wish that there would have been a little more meat to it. The episode was basically a setup for the future.

I feel the same. Along with the fact that Rick is starting to get on my nerves. Please not a season of hallucinations.

Dont know why theres so much hate, clearly everyone is expecting the latest episode to always out-do the previous, it cant all just be headshots and guts.

I, for one, enjoyed the episode thoroughly :)

You are right. I enjoyed it, but for such a long wait it was a bit of a let down. The fight between brothers went fizzle, and then Darryl takes off with his idiot brother, that one was hard to take. And the most worrisome part for me, the hallucinations. I'd rather see Rick dead that having a mental breakdown over his wife who had his best friend's baby, in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse. Just sayin'. I am happy to see Glenn still upset and ready to kill over how Maggie was treated.

Yeah completely agree with that MorganX! But keep in mind it has 'been just under a week' since Lori died, obviously he's still dealing with that, plus the added stress of keeping everyone safe, im sure it will fizzle out, the once strong Rick will start looking weak and it will kill the character, nobody wants to see that.. Hopefully there'll be a few suprises in the coming episodes, cant wait!! :D :D

Actually the hallucinations are somewhat faithful to the comic (somewhat being the key word here). So if the comic is any indication, good news for everyone that hates them, they should not last all that long.

What I did not like about that scene was, did the people in the room with him clearly not see he was looking up and talking to someone that was not there? They just all assumed he was addressing the new group of people. Just seemed a little off to me.

I would like to see Glenn take out the Governor, with Maggie watchin'!!! :D

Can't argue with that. Though he was barely talking to her when she died. He had good reason, but if you're put off enough to ignore her while she's living, hallucinating after she's gone seems, extremely weak. I mean Carl had to kill his mom and he's holding up ... But if Larry is correct, the irritatingly weak Rick should not drag on for the rest of the season.

I want this whole thing with Rick to end already and the group to retaliate big time against the Governor. Best part of the episode is 2 walkers on Rick and he's in trouble and then you see an arrow go through one's head and the camera pans to Darryl. I shouted "yes!!!!!"

I have no idea why people hate the Rick halucination stuff. #1) I like that they are staying somewhat close to the comics, and #2) I personally think this is the type of stuff that would happen to people who are going through this. I love how realistic this seems, and to me, that's entertaining.

I think it would happen if they're on drugs or dehydrated or haven't eaten in a long time. Otherwise, it would happen maybe the week of the death, once. Probably dreams. Carl had to kill his mom and kept it together.

I suppose they're just following the comic, normally this type of storyline means the writers have run out of ideas and the show is about to be cancelled :) But they did recover from it well. Doesn't appear there will be much more of that.

Well, they are probably dehydrated and I can't imagine the food is plentiful... And the passage of time from when Lori died til now isn't much more than a week, even if that.

And not every person has the same mental capacity to handle things. Rick is clearly a bit on the weaker side handling emotions, while Carl is actually growing up in this world where there isn't much time for emotion.

Let's be honest. Rick does need a rest after all that pressure he's gone through in the past 3 seasons. It's like he's trying too hard to gain dominance over the whole group in order to sustain.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

      UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
