    The Walking Dead season 5

    As you may already know, last Sunday was the season 5 premier of The Walking Dead. If you havent been watching it, you've heard of it. It's AMC's mega popular zombie apocalypse television series based off of the comic book series of the same name. Seasons 1-4 are available on netflix, so it's extremely easy to catch up on if you want to join the mobs of people who can't stop gushing about just how AWESOME the show is.


    After a major cliffhanger at the end of season 4, The group manages to get themselves all back together.

    I was honestly shocked to see that they managed to escape Terminus in a singe episode. I was honestly expecting a little more story arc revolving around it, and I'm disappointed that we never really got to seem much of what the people of Terminus did. I wasn't 100% sure that they were cannibals, or just had a hard on for killing people and robbing them of supplies.

    To answer your spoiler, they showed the "Then" section and whoever was in Terminus first, did the same thing the group in the episode did to Rick and the Gang. It didn't seem like they were cannibals but they foreshadowed it with the troph scene.

    I really loved the fact that Carol was shown as the dominant force in the new season though. And I've always loved the bond between Carol and Daryl. The only question is, where is Beth if Judith is now reunited with Rick and Carl? Last I knew, Beth was in a hospital and still alive.

      Regarding Beth, she got kidnapped right towards the end of season 4, so I'm sure we'll see some more of her arc coming up in the next episode or two

          The show is entirely worth picking up. The first season is only 6 episodes long, and you'll probably be 100% hooked by about episode 3. It gets better and better, and you never know who is going to get bitten and die at any given time.

          You will very much enjoy the series. I was hesitant to start it because people obsess over zombies, but a huge chunk of the story revolves around the survivors, not the walkers.

            I disliked the idea of watching The Walking Dead at first.

            I got bored and needed something to watch on Netflix, so I picked it up and I was hooked by the third episode. Seasons 3 and 4 is boring though so you'll probably not pay attention to minute details.

              Season 3 was almost entirely about the town and the governor, I enjoyed it very much. Season 4 during the first half was extremely exciting up to and including mid season, but the second half of season 4 was pretty dull.

              Season 5 started with a bang, and I'm hoping it keeps up

                I know but when I started I was so used to the fast action that was in Seasons 1 and 2 and it died off when they were going between the town and the prison. I haven't gotten to watch half of Season 4 sadly, only saw a few episodes on TV :[

                Season 5's premiere was amazing, but the first 10 minutes for people with weak stomachs is definitely something I'd watch with one eye, and maybe a bucket.

                  You *Have* to do season 4, there was a lot that happened, even though the action dies down a ton in the second half, the story of the characters develops significantly

                    I am terrible with stabbing/knives to throats and that sort of thing so the first ten minutes was a trainwreck for me, rofl. I was looking away and cringing more than I was watching it.

                    I agree that the very first episode of this new season was so fast paced! Surprised just how far along the story moved in that time.

                    I read the comics and the preview for the next episode has me excited about the crazy priest guy. I wonder how close it'll be to the comics. In this section of the comics, I remember one of them gets kidnapped by REAL cannibals while in the neighborhood with the priest.

                      I was really hyped about seeing Morgan again at the ending at the sign of Terminus. I've always liked him since the beginning but the episode in Season 3 when Rick and Morgan meet up again was so heartbreaking to watch. I remember first thinking when I had watched it that Rick was dead but then again, nothing can kill Rick... yet!

                        Contemplating rewatching every season again while waiting for new episodes to come on the internet since I don't have the channel on TV :/

                        Btw for those of you who are lazy fucks and don't wanna get shit off netflix then I invite you to tvids.net though I'd be weary of it because I think I got a couple viruses off here once, the episodes are usually up 24 hours after it is on TV.

                          Fifth season is pretty good so far.

                            Project Free TV is pretty good too~

                            This talks about the most recent episode:
                            So I saw an image of Bob getting his leg eaten and it had the characters from Bob's Burgers eating Bob. lolol
                            It'll be interesting to see how the priest is related to those bandits that kidnapped Bob but the comic book already explains this and they'll probably use the same explanation.

                              Is he related to the crew from Terminus? I didn't pick up on that, but I thought Episode 2 was bland except for that ending. And I really thought that the one dude was killed when he did all that shit to Judith. I also cannot wait to see when Morgan decides to show up again in this season :]
