"In a release, AMC touted that the premise — kept closely under wraps — would focus on what's going on in the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world."

EXO Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I have a strong feeling that it'll have something to do with other people running from zombies. Quote

EXO Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 LOL... seriously though, the idea of the walking dead is this is what random people with ordinary lives would do in an event of a zombie apocalypse. so the new series is going to be about what? Even randomer people with less interesting lives? Unless they set it in Vietnam or the middle east or Brazil, I can't really see anything that different happening. Quote

myk Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Maybe it'll feature the trials and tribulations of house animals and pets, suddenly left to fend for themselves during the zombie apocalypse; sort of like an Air Bud movie but with zombies.. Quote

myk Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Lol. Looking at the title of the Air Buds series of movies you just might be on to something with that one! Quote
troyness Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Or a completely relatable spin off of how the rich & famous have dealt with their Pilates classes schedule been interrupted. Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Everybody got there popcorn ready, almost time for Season 5 to begin!! Quote
jvmacross Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 This episode is playing out like the last couple of episodes of any given season.... Wow....just wow! Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Loved it!! Were off to a great start. Carol, definitely helped save the day and Tyrese... don't push him or its your head! Quote
jvmacross Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Explanation given about the walker apocalypse....truth or bullsheet? Hope it is true... Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Explanation given about the walker apocalypse....truth or bullsheet? Hope it is true... Not sure its bullsheet, but like most of these stories/shows it will be a long time if ever before the actual true reason of the plague is revealed. Walking Dead would blow my mind if at some point they just say "Ok, here's how sh-t went down and we how can fix it". Time will tell. Morgan is back!!!!!!!!!

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 This premier was great, well worth the wait and buildup. Apparently all the time being alone has taught Carol how to use bottle rockets as mortars with impeccable aim! And I reckon she has redeemed herself after the prison hijinx. I was really hoping Tyrese would bust through the wall of that shack like the Kool Aid man after dealing with the walkers, and I wasn't disappointed. And the plot thickens with the first mention of micro organisms being the cause of the walkers. Quote
TangledThorns Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I thought I recognized the first blonde victim. He was in the last season as the hippy couple that Rick and Carol encountered and his girlfriend got killed. Also, he plays Penguin in Gotham. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2088699/?ref_=tt_cl_t5 Edited October 13, 2014 by TangledThorns Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Amazing episode, just a whoop-@ss way to begin the season. + Tyreese and Carol FTW. That is all. -b. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I think Carol has turned into the new Shane...she clearly can manage on her own and, like Shane, is at odds with the leader...it's just not going to work out too well for Carol...this may be her last season... Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Great episode... none of that classic walking Dead stretching the story along BS. Action and resolutions... glad to see the show back! Quote

Interesting. I didn't get any tension at all between Carol and Rick and as long as both characters behave as if things are a fresh start they should be fine. From Rick's point-of-view at the very least he should act as if bygones are bygones, she did save his maybe baby daughter AND save the entire group. -b. Edited October 13, 2014 by Kanedas Bike Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Was that Morgan at the end? Great first episode, Greg Nicotero's directing just gets better and better! Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Morgan! That's his name... I told everyone here that I think his name was Maurice or something. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 SUCH a great season premiere. Carol was also VERY superb...kinda got teary eyed seeing then reunite at the end. Morgan looking like a Mortal Kombat ninja at the end. LOL. Quote
myk Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 NICE comeback for the series, and for Rick the character, especially. Why was Rosita wearing layers of clothing and not walking around practically naked like last season? Because of that, I give this episode an F... Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Rositara FTW... They had her cover up after they finished replicating the comic book cover. I think Metal Slug sent them a C&D... Quote

Not yet....they just reunited....recall that Rick gave her the "time-out" because she took it upon herself to "resolve things her way" without consulting him or the group...during her absence...she has not changed her point of view...Rick still doesn't know what she did with the "psychotic" girl....not sure if Rick would have handled it the same way....Rick would not kill anyone in his group to resolve a problem....Carol would not hesitate and will not ask Rick's opinion....not sure if you would want someone like that in your group....someone that would bring harm to your son or daughter if they were deemed "problematic"... Also...I won't start on the potential "love triangle" with Daryl, Carol, and Beth...but that can't end good either...love comes with a high cost in the world of the Walking Dead... Oh and just want to mention that scene with Tyreese....BMF...if anyone had any doubt he would kill every last zombie outside that shack....they just haven't been paying attention....also is that dude in the shack really dead? Edited October 13, 2014 by jvmacross Quote
myk Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 also is that dude in the shack really dead? I'm pretty sure they answered that question in the Talking Dead... Quote
jvmacross Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I'm pretty sure they answered that question in the Talking Dead... Missed it...is he? Quote
myk Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Missed it...is he? I'm not sure-I'll watch both shows again for certainty... Quote

Yeah, there is certainly the potential for interpersonal conflict between Rick and Carol, but that exists with pretty much any other character on the show. I got the sense that Rick may actually have moved closer to a Carol-type mentality in that he* wanted to go back into Terminus and eliminate any survivors, but that is very different from seemingly having less of an issue hurting members of the same group (Rick has done it himself though). I do agree that Carol may be on borrowed time, but I had that sense prior to her banishment last season. Anyway, hopefully the show keeps the foot on the gas for this season. -b. *didn't want to add a spoiler tag, so just highlight the "missing" text above to read it (it's in white) Quote
