Melissa McBride drops out of The Walking Dead Daryl and Carol spin-off I love Carol, but I'm about as interested in a solo Daryl spinoff than I am in one focusing on both of them, so I'm not too disappointed. Plus if this was known internally before filming on TWD completed, maybe Carol isn't as safe as we thought now?
Just finished episode 100 of FTWD, aka Alycia Debnam-Carey's last episode and season 7 continues to be some of the worst television I've seen in my life. For a show that's netted so much incredible talent in its cast, I can't believe how committed it's been to squandering every bit of it since season 4, or that its showrunners haven't been shitcanned by now.
I was hoping they would just do one movie and scrap the plans for a trilogy. A single feature-length, super violent, high-budget Rick story could’ve been plenty of fun. I’ll watch the Rick & Michonne series and it’ll probably be fine, but if TWDU does another series in the future, I’d prefer it be centred on entirely new characters. S11 has been a mixed bag for me so far, but TWD is still my favourite show and I can’t wait to see how they wrap things up. Also it really feels silly retconning to explain the season 1 walkers this late in the game, but it wouldn’t be the silliest thing they’ve done.
Y’all are kidding yourself if you think they’re gonna end the Rick/Michonne series after 6 episodes. Our grandkids will be watching live episodes of it.
Finally caught up on all of 11 so far. I’m really liking it. Have no idea how they’re gonna wrap this all up in 8 episodes and what the spin-offs will be. Really want Rick and Michonne to show up in this series again. now I need to catch back up with Fear, depsite the reports here that 7 is a mess. And I still need to watch World Beyond.
Yeah I'm on record many times here of saying it was, at one point, better than the flagship show. Seasons 3-5 (though 5 was a step down from 4) were better than most any (maybe all?) seasons of TWD. So sucks to hear it's gone downhill. I actually forget where I left off. Might have been the midpoint of Season 6 when they were in that creepy taxidermist cabin. Can't remember if I watched anything after that one.
Just watched the premiere of Tales of the Walking Dead (ft. Terry Crews and Olivia Munn.) Not great, but not bad. It was refreshing to have a mostly lighthearted, road trip episode. Also to hear the word “fuck” dropped a handful of times. Apparently the second episode (ft. Parker Posey and Jillian Bell) is Twilight Zone -esque, so I’m looking forward to that.
I need to watch Tales. AMC was replying Season 1 today and damn….the tone and everything Darabont was going for was so much cooler than what the show ended up being. Yeah it’s a bit overwrought at times but you can tell he was going for “cable tv drama but what if the drama happens to be caused by the zombie apocalypse” instead of “just” making a zombie show. Really would have loved to see where it went if AMC and him didn’t split.
If they do revisit old characters on Tales, I wouldn’t mind getting something on Edwin Jenner and TS-19
Legit had no idea this was returning tonight. Absolutely zero hype going into the final 8 episodes. Also…what is this bonus episode on at 8 pm?
It's been a wild ride. Love or hate the show I've been watching the whole time so I'm excited to see the end. Also no idea what that bonus episode is....
I assume the bonus episode is just the same episode as what ended the lats string of 8 episodes, but with some deleted scenes added back in or something
