This question may have been asked before, but does anybody know where to watch the latest episodes on the net (e9 and e10, I think)?

Thanks you two. Just finished watching s5e9 and 10 now. Good mixture of psychedelic and action stuff.
Love the slomo scenes in e9.

Well credit where it's due, S05E14 is a bit of a barnstormer. Lots of zombie action, lots of stuff going on back at Alexandria - setting things up for an exciting close to the season.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Noah dead! Didn't see that one coming and really sorry to see him go :( Tara mortally wounded hope she survives. INTRIGUE back at the ranch with the mad Priest, Glenn did GOOD ACTING as Noah got taken down, cowardly Alexandria residents starting to show they're not really up to job albeit they have managed to survive fine this long so I guess it's a convenient plot device. But who cares, on this occasion I'll grant a pass for being a good solid zombie episode.


Lost momentum a bit for me the last couple of episodes, but this one was great.

Good episode last night.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
As well as the surprise character cull and the fact that the Alexandria residents are cowards and pretty shit at dealing with zombies, Carol showed her dark side again. She told Rick that she suspects that the Dr beats his wife (who Rick fancies) and son. Then she suggests to him that his only option is to kill him!

Wonder if Daryl will bring any surprises in terms of new people back with him? Also what has happened to the black guy that Rick meet in the first season? (the one he gave a radio to ?) he has popped up now and again but not seen him for a while.

The slight problem with this whole Alexandria situation is that:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Despite them all turning out to be crappy panicking cowards, they'd managed to do massively better on every single level than Rick's group, and weren't for example, on the verge of starvation and dying of thirst before actually being rescued by the Alexandria search party. It seems to me that the most serious problems in Alexandria at the moment are a bit of their solar power system has failed, and the supplies of chocolate are getting low.

Oh yes and lest we forget that they managed to build a wall which has remained 100% solid throughout the entire apocalypse scenario.

So there's that.


Don't get me wrong though, it was a fucking good episode. THEY REMEMBERED TO PUT SOME ZOMBIE ACTION IN.

Yes, but...

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Alexandria certainly seems to be doing well, but as noted previously, it seems impossible to conceive how they have done this well with a mixture of apparent cowards and incompetents. Also it was notable in the first episode that there were at least two massive empty houses ready for occupation.

I think that there is a distinct possibility that the survival of the residents of Alexandria comes directly from being cowards and incompetents. New people come in, see the shit that they have to deal with and do exactly what Ricks gang are doing and do all the 'outside the wall' work. Then all the new people die, or get shellshocked and become drunk doctors, and they need to find new survivors with the skills required to take their place. Hence the willingness to actively overlook the darker aspects of Rick to be sure that they'll do exactly that, and provide de-facto protection.

alexandria residents were good people and rick group were the psycho's that would tore that community apart. And if rick killed the doctor (who happened to be a good man) just because he liked his gorgeous wife. Now they're finding excuses to justify that these people are enemies and that the gang actions are will be justified.

Noah's death was pretty fucking gruesome, I'm pretty desensitized to the whole gore thing now but that got a bit of a 'Ewwwwww' out of me.

Woah.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Shit me, that was pretty brutal! I thought annoying chap getting his stomach eaten alive was bad enough, but then Noah having his head ripped to pieces right in front of Glen was pretty fucking nasty.

Set up so well for next week. I'd normally expect the politician lady to believe them, but coming back from the supply run with her son dead, Noah dead and the other Alexandria person being held at gunpoint makes it all a bit tense.

Carol remains steadfastly awesome. You just knew the second she found out about the abusive husband that she'd go into kill mode. Almost surprised she wants to get Rick to do it though.

Daryl finally accepts the other people, washes his damned hair, and by the time he returns the place is going to be rubble!

As for Alexandria holding up better than other places, there's enough unanswered things that it could go a number of ways. Mostly though, they stumbled upon a fucking town with a perfect supply of energy and produce, with a shitload of building materials next door, with their people including a bureaucrat and an architect!

Does seem like they survive best by fetching new people and then abandoning them when the going gets tough.

Can't wait for next week!

Yeah, reading it again it seems to be spoiler free. Probably. If you don't like spoilers then don't chance it. Although I'm fairly sure there's no spoiler. Fairly. If there's a spoiler it's only because it's hinting at something that might happen. Maybe.

I dunno, the pack attacking the barn looked to be in fairly frisky shape, and some of them were properly rotten right out of the gates in the first episode.

In fact, remember the first zombie that Rick came across after getting out of the hospital, that one out in the park, that looked in pretty bad shape just a couple of weeks after the outbreak.

Here it is. And yet we have zombies 540+ days down the line that look exactly the same, or in many cases far healthier, than that one does.

Well it took me about three minutes to find this zombie in an episode in Season 2, which looks considerably different to the example given there.

(Equally, I'm sure I could find much 'fresher' zombies in further Seasons but I don't have those as AVIs and Netlfix USA craps out horribly if you try and skip around the timeline on episodes.)

Plus, if they really are going for the 'real life decomposition' angle then they're back to the original problems of what the hell happens to the zombies in the extremities of weather? Seriously, not one single zombie would last beyond the first winter.

I don't mind anyway, as long as they make the episodes worth watching in and of themselves (as Season 5 has been recently) then it's all good.

E15 - Good episode. I'm liking the odd-couple relationship between Darryl and Aaron. Michonne is doing well as a character. However, Rick and the beaten wife lady is all a bit overdone, and the thing with Carl and the girl is sub-Dawson's bollocks.

And an Episode 15 update from myself.

Seemed like a bit of a placeholder in some regards, setting stuff up more than moving things on, until it all kicked off a bit in the last few minutes (when I must say it became quite gripping).

Other stuff - maybe Darryl is gay? He seems to get on better with Aaron than anyone else, and it'd be a nice little twist.

Rick and the wife lady seems to be extracting a bit too much out of not enough, but it's certainly moving things on, almost to the extent of just being a plot device really.

No real interest in Carl and his new friend, or indeed the whole Sasha situation.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
The final showdown in the last few minutes definitely grabbed my attention - (and indeed took my mind completely off my bollocks for the first time since Friday, so a result there) - although whilst Rick's behaviour has been telegraphed I'm still not convinced it rings entirely true. And with Michonne knocking him out that sets us off at the start of the next episode with Rick being a prisoner? And he seems to have busted his chances with the boss of the place now.

Roll on next week, will be interesting to see what happens.

Not a great episode IMO, pretty disjointed in the main and despite lots of zombie splatters seemed a bit all over the place. If it weren't for the last few minutes I'll be calling relative stinker on it.

Continued to be good last night

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Rick looks to have got back some of the insanity he had when they were in the prison, not sure if the group think he is a liability or if he was knocked on the head to allow them to buy time. Sure when he pulled his "stash" gun out on the group that will have destroyed any trust they had left after the deaths on the last trip outside.

Also a bit more info on the zombies with letters carved in their heads, wondering what that's all about!


I used to get to a point with this show, where it became so tense and sometimes depressing that I would save up the episodes until my wife put her foot down and had us watch it. At the moment its the first thing we watch as its really good at the moment.

Well, the whole Rick part is kind of outrageous, as if killing was the most sensible choice when you suspect someone is being abusive with his wife.

But that women is so lovely that i won't blame him.

I know that really didn't ring true for me at all, and actually going to the boss of Alexandria to suggest executing the resident surgeon because he beats up on his missus, well, y'know, that makes no kind of sense.

The whole Rick turning into a borderline would-be-murderer psychopath angle is all a bit strained IMO.

The whole, lots of them are going crazy being in somewhere which is seemingly safe thing seems true. They have been out there for so long they just can't adjust. But it seems like they need people who know what they are doing there if their first instinct is to run whenever something goes wrong. The Michonne smash at the end of the latest episode was great though. As well as the little flashback to her slashing walkers with her sword.

I thought
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Carol was lying about the Doctor. She wanted him out of the way, and had the use of Rick to do so, so that she could then run the place through him. This obviously has not worked well. I suspect she will try and use Michi to the same end now as she's probably the safest bet in the eyes of Alexandria to hold order as long as the pax romana exists. Glynn will do whatever he is told unless it is crazy, still.

Next episode there will be a distraction caused by something and this W person will open the gates and flood the town with his attack walkers which are probably not very dangerous. One might say armless. Ahem. After this happens, Daryl will appear on his motorbike, push open the gate whilst grimacing and crossbow everyone he does not know, saving all. And the doctor will redeem himself but get killed by Rick

With Rick:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
I thought he dealt with it in a vaguely sensible manner to start with. I mean, he went to the leader and said it had to be stopped. She refused to consider it, and Rick (and moreso Carol) insist that this might get the lady killed. The only options presented were to exile him or kill him (assuming he refuses to be nice). Rick's right; if they just exile him then he'll likely come back to kill the girl. You can't just send them off and hope they won't come back to your easily scalable wall!

Obviously he then didn't necessarily need to go full on with the chap and could have tried to work it out more so he and his group would appear in the right, but they had just lose one kid and possibly another due to the residents being useless and weak.

I think he appeared crazy at the end, sure, but it wasn't exactly a huge departure. He was trying to protect his group.

Rick didn't throw the fist punch, there. And that little speech he gave was right out of the comic.

Yeah, but he egged him on (geddit?)!

Also, any time the quality of dialogue drops you can generally attribute it to being from the comics :D

I'd call it a decent season finale. (Just finished watching it now.)

It's set things up going into the next season on a fairly solid basis, and it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out with the 'Wolves'.

So yeah, a solid hour of telly but not amazing either - however it'll certainly hold my interest going into the next season.

Excellent finale to an excellent season and excellent series.

And, if you missed it, like I did, here's a link to the post-credits bit.

Really enjoyed it.

Lots of little swerves and unexpected turns.

Really sets it up for next season too.

I assume the Wolves aren't just those two chaps, though.

Those zombies sure are physically strong though aren't they?

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
As in when Rick went one-on-one with something that's been undead for a couple of years, and Rick's a well-fed, healthy, experienced zombie killing machine - that fucking zombie was strong! I'd expect muscle atrophy and suchlike to have kicked in, since the rest of their deterioration is apparently accurately mapped out.....

Oh yes and also, really, LEAVING THE FRONT DOOR OPEN? I know it's supposed to telegraph how the Alexandria folks are a bit rubbish and that, but come on, saying to the newly arrived crazy Priest, 'Oh make sure you close the door there old chap' and then walking off to check the plants or something - pfffft.

Yeah it was an hour of good telly but it's still got gaps so wide in it you could drive cavalcades of tanks through them. Which is what will probably happen next season when THE WOLVES turn up, since they're clearly going to get their money's worth out of that set.

'Luck runs out' says Rick, AND YET THEY WEREN'T THE ONES WHO WERE NEXT TO DEAD THROUGH STARVATION AND THIRST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO - and now you just want to kill however many is required to takeover. LOL.

Lest we forget they had their own 'Alexandria' in the prison, and they lost that motherfucker, so that's 1:0 to the Alexandria folks.

zombie muscles do not need oxygen to work. They do not produce lactic acid. Also, There is no feedback loop like in humans to say "keep doing this and damage will happen" (epipherine does switch this response off by degrees, interestingly). So, that is like human with the safety switches removed.

Also, zombie had prime position after he caught Rick on the hop from behind

So where do the zombies get that sort of physical strength from? They've seen fit to have them deteriorating on the outside as would be expected over the timeline of their existence (as per your earlier posts, although I'm not convinced they've been consistent about that), and yet all of a sudden one of them can pin Rick to the ground like an MMA champion?

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
The only real threat I'd expect them to pose at this stage is in large numbers (as happened to Glenn and Aaron), yes Rick took on three there but even so, once he'd despatched the first two I wouldn't expect the third to go mano-o-mano like that.

And lest we forget they wouldn't be there at all if the imbeciles hadn't left the front door open. I was wondering how the zombies were going to eventually get into Alexandria ('cause it was clearly going to happen at some point), I'd actually thought 'I hope it isn't something as shit as someone leaving the front door open'. AND THEN THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.


I say again, it was good telly and I enjoyed it and I'm not cussing it up or anything, but it wasn't ZOMG AMAZING either.

in my experience of the Underground Dogfighting Pits of West Yorkshire, a 80 lb labrador is pretty determined and a pain to throw off one it lands on you. Fighting g a zombie would be worse.

Presumably they get their strength from the same completely unexplained thing that allows them to be still walking around despite being dead.
