    The comics must be shit if there's no Meryl, Daryl or Carol and loads of Rick.

    I thought Glenn was Mexican, which is more or less white.

    Christ I forgot about that. That's almost the full gamut.

    Sasha in the comics is Holly. Yeah for some reason
    Abraham I tend to forget about, even when he was living
    I forgot about him on the show. I did not even realize that
    Rosita and Abraham were living together until he told her
    He was moving out. The only scene I truly remember him
    In was moving out and when he got the military uniform.
    Forgettable character for me.

    Sonequa Martin is one of the ones cast for Discovery that i was most enthused by.

    I like her, I think her manner and appearance will translate well into a Star Trek role, especially one of higher rank.

    Everyone's bitching about Discovery already, I mean the ship looks like something you might pull out of a skip.. but I don't think anyone should be too judgmental before they've actually seen it. Apparently they've changed the appearance of the Klingons quite dramatically, now they look like space cyber punks or something? Probably just rumours, and the teaser pic released of the dressing room might have been pre-hair added on...

    So I download this weeks ep, watch the first ten minutes, meh another slow ep I think to myself, switch it off, leave it for a day or so


    Come back to it tonight, pick up where I left off, another slowish 20 mins or so



    ......and then the coffin opens. Followed by 20 minutes of Action with a capital A, and intensity and humanity, oh the humanity!

    Yeah, baby!

    I dont think Star Trek fans being too fussy is going to be much of a thing in the post Netflix era. There seems to be an explosion in the number of TV shows in the last decade

    If they can afford the likes of Brad Pitt and Will Smith to do one off Netflix only movies, and what is it, like 8 Marvel series running concurrently, dont see how a new Trek series isnt going to be viable no matter how much the supernerds whinge. Or a new Stargate series for that matter, I'd like to see that. Not sure what this CBS all access is, not that it matters, licensed under some of the other paid streaming services in the rest of the world. at about $8 million an episode, I'd assume youd only need 30 million or so viewers world wide for it to be viable

    How picky the Trek fans are was only a big deal in days of yore when the production companies only paid attention to rating figures for US domestic on the cable stations they were running on

    Yeah that was alright that one.

    You all happy now you got some action scenes and a climatic ending to the season?

    The show's obviously stretching things out too long, and it's just the same plot over and over again really. But what do you expect from a zombie franchise? There's only so much they can do with it.

    Negan started to get on my tits early on in the series and towards the end he just got on my tits even more. I get it though, he's the bad guy, but he's just too much of a dick. And his character is unrealistic, someone would have stabbed the **** long ago, probably one of his "wives" or one of the guys he took them from.

    King Eziekel and the tiger though, that was a nice touch. They got creative with that, whether he's in the comics or not I don't know, but a guy who's spent his life acting Shakespear using his acting skills to assume the role of a real life king in a zombie apocalypse, that was good. And Jerry as well, who else loves the Jezmeister. Big fat cheesy bloke, twice the size of everyone else but wouldnae hurt a fly. That guy spent his life smoking dank and playing zombie games on the X-Box before the apocalypse.

    I think I had an erotic dream about Maggie, but I'm not sure if it was her or a girl I once copped off with who looked like her? It was pretty weird. I keep having erotic dreams about ex girlfriends, then i wake up in to the reality of being middle aged and single.

    The zombie scene where Rick was thrown into the scrap pit and the zombie had a suit of armour with spikes on it was good too.

    I was geting quite emotional at the end, because it's been a long run. Coming on for ten years, and we've all lived through the trauma of the apocalypse with these characters and seeing them all coming together to defeat the evil pigs who are trying to run the farm kind of pulls of the strings...

    Dammit! That was the season finale, forgot about that, only 16 eps, now no TWD, no Legion, nothing to watch except stupid cooking shows



    I dont really get why Maggie would be hot, but Im not the best guy to ask about that


    Its still my favourite TV show ever though, which I get in my 40s, man if there had been something like this in my teens, i would have gone nuts and been such a fanboy

    Daryl, Carol and Morgan, with those three especxially, I could watch this show for another 10 seasons, Rick can die, I dont care, and Negan had been a bit of a lame baddie, The Governor was the series best baddie

    Sigh, another 6 1/2 month wait
