So the JustJared site actually spoiled the kills for me yesterday when I was grabbing screenshots of a certain GoT scene (no spoilers here) being filmed. They put clickbait links with thumbnails on their side-bar. Such irony for me as I'm busy reading spoilers about Game of Thrones. I'm going to wait and watch episode 1 right before episode 2 airs because I need to move past this trainwreck. I'm still upset at the way last season's finale was handled and not just the cliff-hanger. The entire lead-up to it was clunky and stupid. Our 'heroes' were completely baited into an easy trap they should have been smarter about. I've boycotted the show and all spoiler discussions since then. Now that I read spoilers on the kills, I'm over it.

If you follow filming spoilers, you knew back in June/July who didn't make it, but it amusing me how sloppy they got closer to the premiere. It sucks that they still hit 17M viewers though. Gimple will think he can do no wrong and writing will never improve

Gimple will think he can do no wrong and writing will never improve Yeah I don't ever go to the Just Jared site for any other reason so when GoT spoiler photos showed up there, that's the first I've seen TWD spoilers. Such irony. I don't really care and it saves me being over-expectant anyways as like I said, I was super disappointed with the poor writing of the episodes leading up to the finale even before the cliffhanger ending. Casting JDM was the best thing they could have done to save what little hope there was left for the slow decline (IMO) of the story. Oh and I did see a horrifying .gif on reddit of the actual aftermath (body) and that was just gross. I think I may have hit my gore-meter limit.

I almost forgot to bitch I'll admit, I didn't hate this episode as much as I thought I would when I read the spoilers, but I still hate what they've done to Carol's story. I just want her to be happy with her family again. Ezekiel was charismatic, Morgan was better than he usually is, the tiger was funny in the shitty CGI sort of way. Still a lot of problems, but I imagine this episode is going to be better than next week's which is completely at the Sanctuary.

I hate when they do episodes without Rick. It's his story, that should just never happen. It's like The Sopranos without Tony, or Breaking Bad without Walter White.
A Negan centred episode sounds a little better, but I still think it's stupid to not at least check in with Rick and the main group.

A show like TWD should not have more than 10 episodes each season IMO.

I don't really like it either but I do think it was important that we saw the Kingdom now, it's a bigger world and things happen that Rick doesn't even know about. I think it was good to see that the Saviors really do have a network of communities they enslave and control (And also to see that they're not all too happy about the situation either, and have Morgan see that). This episode also helped to avoid the feeling that everyone else is on waitingmode untill they meet Rick. I personally dislike the episodes where we jump between groups and don't really get to focus on anyone properly. But two whole episodes without Rick, that's blasphemy.

Which I HATED! day dreamer could probably confirm if it was more than a couple.

katjushka @nictarion Non detailed spoilers, but to answer your questions about episodes without Rick and bottle episodes. There's a lot of bottle episodes this season. In fact, up until 707, that's all there is. One we saw the Lucille line up, The Kingdom, Sanctuary this week, then we'll see one for Alexandria, one for Hilltop (plus another story) and one with Tara and Heath on their run. In 7B, a similiar thing happens with one Kingdom, Hilltop, and Savior bottle ep again. Plus we meet other groups of people.
Rick right now is in episodes 1,4,5(only at the beginning of it),7,8,9,10,12,15. They're currently filming ep 15 now, and I'm sure he'll be in 16.

Solid episode. I really like the guy playing Dwight. Which if they stick to the comics storyline is a good thing as he'll have a pretty large role.

Guess nobody else is still watching? Figured I'd resurrect this thread. As for 7x10: The garbage people were pretty silly, but I really liked the Daryl/Carol reunion. Despite all this show's flaws I really do still care about these characters.

I liked the Dwight portions of the episode a lot. The Eugene parts less so, but not a bad episode at all. And I usually hate not checking in with Rick and the main group.

I watch every week and still love the show, it's the characters I love - not zombie action or big plot twists so what's not to love.
