    Is it back again? I'm looking forward to another 8 weeks of disappointment.

    It is. The new episode is actually alright as well. I'd even go as far as to throw the term "action packed" around.

    Great episode. Really wooden acting but made up for the action and maybe Karl will stop being so whiney.

    I think Carl's been fine for a couple of seasons now. Not sure why all the hate resides.

    The writing is different, though no less terrible, but the kid still can't act so he's still basically the same wanker.

    Very good again this week, I thought. Although when did Abraham start speaking almost exclusively in stupid little turns of phrase?

    Is this available to stream anywhere in UK / Ireland? Or should I just buy it on iTunes? I'm kind of getting fed up with it, but still want to see how the story unfolds.

    No difference to the streaming boxes you can buy off Amazon I guess.

    It's been four for four since it returned from the mid-season hiatus. Strongest run of episodes in I don't know how long.

    It's become pretty damn good. It's a show I love but could never ever recommend to anyone to watch.

    With them heading to the big finale now, we're probably looking at an all-Maggie and Carol episode and then one following the guys who went off in the campervan before we get back to the juicy bits.

    It's good to know that even when suffering a major crisis of conscience Carol still has enough in the locker to trap two people in a room and burn them alive.

    I was very happy with the demise of the "doctor" (she was about as much of a doctor as I would be if I spent the next two weeks reading medical text books), annoying bitch. Seconds before she took the arrow through the head I was honestly thinking "I wish they would kill this bitch off", and then when it happened momentarily thought I'd developed the power to influence television with my mind.

    The Eugene shit was weird. Everything about Eugene is weird actually. Is he meant to be a straight up comedy character? I'm never sure how to take him. It's like a different show when him and Abraham are on screen together. Their dialogue never really makes any sense.

    This Carol stuff if rubbish. They pulled it out of nowhere, with no lead up or development at all and in the space of two episodes fast tracked it to the point where she's left. It makes no sense at all.

    I've been slowly catching up and just finished the comedy roadshow episode with the great at everything goth twat. What a load of shit that was. I was out after the Glenn stuff, but I've seen a few people saying they had their mojo back in recent weeks. They don't.

    It's so fucking annoying. Yes, let the only doctor we have out of the complex. Yes, let the only intelligent guy go around with just one other guy.

    It's completely back to using stupidity to further the plot.

    Episodes eleven and twelve were both good, with twelve being excellent in places. It's probably the most morally complex the show has ever been, actually.

    While they've wiped out entire towns before, it's always been in the context of defending themselves or their own, so having Rick and the Rockettes murder a whole load of people in their sleep, people who don't actually pose any threat at this point, is taking things down a fairly dark path.

    I disagree that Carol having a crisis of conscience has come out of nowhere, by the way. It was triggered in episode nine, but they've been setting up for a trip down that path since whenever Morgan and Carol started having their violence vs vegetarianism debate. She was visibly taken aback when the Wolf jumped on the walker to let Denise get away even after she'd just shot him. A rare moment of nuanced character work. I reserve the right to retract this praise if I get caught right up and Tobin is smacking her around the house while she cries and makes pasta bakes.

    Have to agree with that. It's been far more nuanced in its exploration of the characters since its return, and it helps that the focus isn't on Glenn or Shinobi, who are fine characters in different ways but have been done to death (or not as the case may be). I thought we'd seen everything of Carole with her finding her inner feminist followed by descent into near madness and standard WD cuntitude then transformation into heroine of the piece. But since the break, she's stolen the show.

    Caught up and yeah, while Carol's turn to pacifism didn't come out of nowhere it did escalate far too quickly and her ultimate reasoning makes little to no sense.

    Just fucking end the show, that episode was just awful and I'm too invested now to just stop watching it.

    I really hope that next season is the last but apparently David Alpert wants 12 fucking seasons of this crap.

    It was top stuff by my reckoning. The menace throughout topped any of their more explosive previous run ins with other groups.

    Do we need to spoiler things once it's already aired? I will for the time being, just in case.

    Carols slide from a female Rambo to a total and utter cockwomble I can do without.

    The only two we can be 99% certain it's not is Rick and Carl.

    I think they haven't even decided who to kill off just yet anyway so a bit of a cop out really.

    I hear it's so they can discuss contracts better with a 'fine, you've died then' to anyone after big bucks.

    I think they used Carl to threaten Rick, so it's neither of them. It's a load of shit that they went with a soap cliffhanger rather than the shocking ending that was promised though.

    I can't see it being Rick or Carl. I don't know his positioning against the trailer is worth considering - looked like one of the guys in the middle of the row.

    Also - I can see them not being dead. This is the series that has let multiple central characters off the hook in ridiculous circumstances and Negan talks of not killing them...

    My money is on the ginger fella.

    Depending how close they follow the comic books, there are a few you can eliminate.

    Fair play though, for all the monotonous and poorly written episodes there are, that was properly gut-wrenching.

    I didn't think it was all that great, maybe I'm just done with it all.

    Thought it was pretty clear that Abraham (they built him up too much in the last episodes of 6) and/or Glenn (comic books obviously and the whole 'oooh, is he dead yet?' bullshit they kept pulling) was going to die. I hated that they were really drawing it out and felt it was even more annoying than the finale of the 6th season.

    I also don't like Neagan, I'm not sure if it's a slight on Jeffery Dean Morgan or the actual character but I feel it's too much and a case of 'LOOK HOW EVIL HE IS!!!!'

    The deaths themselves were pretty awesome though, especially Glenn's with the eyeball.

    I thought Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the best thing about it, but then I do like him as an actor.

    The deaths were a bit much I thought. Not the fact that they actually occurred, obviously that was coming, but the violence felt a bit gratuitous to me. Which is weird given that it's a show basically built around gratuitous violence and it's never bothered me before. But it was all just a bit "how much misery and punishment can we squeeze into 45 minutes of television" for my liking.

    I get why they've done it though. They've got to establish just how badly the group have fucked up, or specially just how in over his head Rick has gotten. Before he inevitably mans up and wins again. Because nobody out-crazies Rick Grimes for long.
