Great episode, sad about Herschel but i wasn't surprised he's the oldest and slowest of the group. What i still don't get is the last Episode of season 2, how did the prisoner that Shane was conspiring with fall?

Fall? Shane killed him.

Also, Hershel isn't (un)dead.

I didn't see that Shane killed him, he was following behind him then there was a pop and that was it. Maybe i missed something.

Your inference skills must be low. Shane let Randall go to get Rick out in the woods. But he didn't actually want him to get away and tell people about the farm. So he killed him.

Hershel = Dale

Also, they clearly made a point to show that the part of the leg Rick amputated at was still living tissue.

Last nights premiere was just excellent. They were correct when they said they were amping up the gore and tension. Just great!

I loved seeing the "new" Rick. He is cold, calculating, and more like the comic. This was very welcomed, though it seemed to throw a lot of people off as to why. Maybe they will get to that in a flash back as others have mentioned. But they apparently have been on the move for around 7 months since the last finale.

The last scene was great. There was no hesitation, just chop chop. Then the prisoners looking in... that wasa good shock. Can't wait for next weeks episode :)

I went to a Walking Dead Premiere party. While we were watching the episodes leading up to the new one, I brought up the idea of Lori's baby being a still born... and possibly eating it's way out of her. My other friend was like, " I'll give you $100 if that comes true.". Well, we all bursted out laughing once she actually brought it up in the episode. Couldn't believe it was actually proposed. But would be a great way to end Lori and have one hell of a shocking scene.

I can't tell you how much I already hate Danai's character. I mean Hell, here's this black woman with black zombie slaves. She hacked their jaws and arms off so she can have "pack mules". I mean wtf?!?! I hope they get rid of her character soon.

Then we have "Rick". I mean last season, he kills his best friend over his wife and now we have him being a dick to her. Granted, he is preoccupied with this whole Zombie Apocalypse thing.

I also understand with all that, maybe it's all coming up to bite him in the ass, what with the ZA and the fact that his wife, might just be pregnant by his psychopathic friend who he had to put down like a rabid dog. Then when the rabid dog got back up, his son "Carl" had to put it back down. So, yeah, "Rick" has a lot on his plate right now. But to act like a dick?

I just hate the whole packed mule zombie thing too. I don't dislike the Character, but I dislike the mechanics used by her. I can not see in any way, how having 2 zombies walking with you, would stop any other zombie from noticing or trying to attack you. It just doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Well, maybe your right. Maybe if someone puts a bullet in her pack mules melons, her character will be likable for me. But I doubt it. You have to delve into the character to try and understand why she would do such a thing. What went through her mind. So even if her pack mules were killed, I am sure she would "recruit" a couple more. Maybe it's mainly for their "stench". I mean, we did learn in season 1, that their "stench" keeps others off you. I guess if your going to keep them for that, might as well make use of them for more. So "pack mules" it is then. Ugh!

Well, If I remember correctly, the 2 zombies she carries with her are her ex husband/boyfriend and one of her best friends. Her lover had given her a couple of swords for a gift, as he liked those things, and she was just like a lawyer. When the infection started out, those 2 close to her became infected, and she didn't want to really kill them. She somehow learned that with them being around, other zombies didnt notice her, so she cut their arms and jaws off to keep her safe, and leads them around for her protection. But none of how that works make any sense. I would still think other zombies would smell or notice her and still attack.

Firstly, way to miss the whole premise of Rick's character. I know there are lots of people that watch these shows expecting action...I kow the action is coming, but I watch closely for the story arcs and the character development. It seems it pays off here.

Rick's character is dealing with a few things....the Zombie Apocalypse is symbolism of his life. He had a weird relationship with Lori before the Z-Poc (remember back to S1-Ep1 where he and Shane are discussing it), and since, he's been dealing with the baby, the death of many of the group, people close to him conspiring against him (Shane) and also the fact he had to kill his (albeit former) best friend. all this kind of weighs on a man eh. He has, unfortunately seen that whilst Shane went about it the wrong way, his bullish nature was possibly one of the reasons Ricks realises the group is alive, and would continue to be without him. He has taken on the role as Alpha Male rather than play at being in a pack. With this comes the sole responsibility for all the group's members.

Couple those things together and you've got one hell of a sleepless night. I'd also be shocked if he was not a little off with Shane. Examine the evidence....he's considered dead...Shane and Lori bump uglies...he returns.....Shane get's all possessive over Lori/Carl. Lori becomes pregnant, and Shane loses it. Notice who this revolves around...I'd be surprised if he didn't have mixed feelings for Lori currently. Also, aside from that, the role he's taken on in Shane's absence leaves very little room for him to be the kind considerate, caring guy anymore.

Watch it progress.

Hello to you too

Shane let Randall go to get Rick out in the woods. But he didn't actually want him to get away and tell people about the farm. So he killed him.

I know that, i just didn't see where the actual killing took place.

Hershel = Dale

Also, they clearly made a point to show that the part of the leg Rick amputated at was still living tissue.

I know that..I was just inquiring as to if he'll still turn or not..in ts-19 jenner stated that some turn faster than others..

I say go outside once inawhile

Off camera. Not complicated.

Why would he turn when the rest of his body wasn't infected yet? They have to worry about him bleeding out, not him turning.

To everyone who is bashing me for what I said about Rick. Don't care what you think. It's how I feel right now about his character. I know he's going through a ton of crap. But he has been going through all this from the beginning. He knows what to expect. He knows everyone's life is a b*tch right now, not just his. But to act like a dick and make everyone's life, including his own, even more miserable is wrong.

Now bashers, there's a bit more for you to bash me about.

I forgot, Netiquette is dead. To be bashed over your thoughts is bullsh*t. Kind of like your post. Dead.

Uh, thats not it at all. Its that if you post your thoughts, and someone doesn't agree with them, they will reply saying so. You can't get your little panties in a bunch because people don't agree with your incorrect views.

I don't mind being disagreed with, that's how discussion is. But bashing isnt part of a discussion. So, why don't you pull your panties out of your mouth, before you choke on them. My views are mine. They might conflict with your tiny mind views. But that doesn't mean they are incorrect.

Just want to say, there are some very specific reasons Michonne has her "two slaves," that was somewhat touched upon in this thread already although not all of it was factually correct. They may or may not go into the back story of the why though in the TV show, and if they do, they make a whole lot more sense.

Just want to say excellent season opener. Although they have already steered dramatically away from the comic with some major plot points, so far how they have gone about

taking the prison

is pretty faithful of how they did so in the comics. Some small details changed here and there to better fit the medium of television, but overall, pretty damn faithful.

With that said, the coming this season scenes at the very end made me realize they really steer in a very different direction than the comic in upcoming episodes, but still nice to see them keep some stuff overall. I have always agreed with what Kirkman has said though, he wants to keep the comic and television show as two distinct entities, however it is nearly impossible as an avid reader of the comics to not draw comparisons, so I really am just happy as a fan of the comic that they keep some details intact.

Should be one hell of a season. No doubt.

Where's the bashing? Unless there are posts deleted, I don't see any posts that bashes you. It was quite a pretty good discussion until you brought that up. :/

I enjoyed the premiere a lot. Prison is my favorite part on the comics so I'm really looking forward to this season.

    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam" by Sayan Sen Back in 2023, if you recall, Neowin reviewer Robbie Khan had a dispute with Samsung over his 990 Pro SSD, which was rapidly losing its health. After significant back and forth, the tech giant had finally released firmware to "stop" the issue. Interestingly, its previous flagship at the time, the 980 Pro was also facing problems leading to two consecutive sets of firmware fixes. Three years later, it looks like a similar conflict has now broken out between tech repair entrepreneur YouTuber Louis Rossmann and Samsung, as it has escalated into a threatened lawsuit after the company allegedly refused to appropriately replace a failing 990 Pro SSD that remained under warranty. According to Rossmann, a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD purchased for approximately $330 less than two years ago, began experiencing major hiccups and issues, even though he claims it had been operated under ideal cooling conditions. It was installed in a RAID 1 array and cooled by a heatsink and dual high-speed fans. However the drive reportedly started dropping out of the array, exhibiting controller-level failures that eventually became not useable in any meaningful way. Rossmann said Samsung’s support process was marked by delays and confusion from the very start. After initially contacting the wrong regional support channel, he was redirected to Samsung’s memory support division where he submitted detailed diagnostics, logs, and proof of purchase. Rossmann runs a repair company and owns an ACE Lab PC-3000 machine, which is a professional-grade data recovery equipment. As such, he had been confident in his diagnostics. Samsung even seemingly acknowledged that later. Regardless, Rossmann claims that his initial support ticket was automatically closed before a full 24-hour response window had elapsed, forcing him to reopen the case and resubmit documentation. The controversy however intensified further from here after Samsung accepted the drive for warranty evaluation but later returned it with a repair report stating that the drive had passed its testing and that the SSD had been verified as functional. Rossmann strongly disputed those claims citing that his own independent testing on PC-3000 showed write speeds reducing to as low as 40–60 MB/s before the drive failed entirely. Samsung subsequently informed him that the SSD had been reset and reflashed, passing internal stress tests. However, the company also stated that replacement units were unavailable due to an industry-wide memory shortage and suggested that a refund process could be initiated if further testing confirmed the fault. Thus, to settle, the company offered a refund of $330, the amount that was initially paid by him to make the purchase. Here, Rossmann pointed out the seeming hypocrisy of the tech giant as in how no Samsung drive was apparently allocated for warranty replacements, but they were abundantly available for retail sales especially when using business accounts. As you can see, Rossmann is indeed right, there are Samsung 990 Pro 4TB SSDs on Amazon currently for $950 (shipped and sold by first-party Amazon US itself), and they are also available on Samsung's own store too, albeit for an even higher price of $1100. Thus Rossmann argues that Samsung’s inability or unwillingness to provide a replacement while the same model remains available for purchase at significantly higher market prices reflects a failure to honor its warranty obligations. He has issued a formal 60-day notice and says he intends to file suit in Texas small claims court, asserting that companies should face greater costs for denying legitimate warranty claims than for fulfilling them.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
