I have enjoyed all of the seasons. There have been some episodes I did not enjoy so much (like Morgan and the guy who made goat cheese) but I enjoy the overall storyline and feel that they're doing a good job playing it out, especially given the large number of characters on the show. I enjoy reading the comics, and feel like JDM does an excellent job portraying Negan in the vein I was expecting, just with less cussing. ;)

I would agree that if you don't enjoy the comics, then you're probably not going to enjoy the show. Although the storylines are not identical, the approach and overall plot arcs are similar enough that you'd need to enjoy the source material to also enjoy the show. As such, it's not surprising to me that those who did not like Negan's character in the comics also do not like him in the show.

I agree, Mlgagne really delved in depth to Daryl's character and how he is as a person.

I agree as well!   I especially like that not only would long time viewers get something out of it but you wrote it in a way that is just as accessible to people who just watch casually or just started and are catching up.   After reading your analysis, I would imagine a newcomer would be more inclined to key in on all your points about Daryl!   Great work!

Everyone Who Can, Please Watch The Talking Dead On Sunday Night — For Oliver Nome

Courtesy of Gay League for Bleeding Cool,

Comic nerds can drop a list of favorite and famous artists and writers the second you ask them. Oliver Nome’s career began at Wildstorm when the imprint was still associated with Image. He’s worked in the DC Universe Online MMO with Jim Lee and associates before moving onto drawing for DC proper and Aspen.

Under vastly different circumstances Nome’s career and work might be more widely known by comics fandom.

Tragically, Nome was diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM), Stage Four terminal brain cancer in May 2012 and last October Nome entered into hospice care.

An unfortunate result of brain surgery took away Nome’s control of one side of his body and ended his ability to draw. A friend whom I’ve known for many years is one of the people involved in his care and he has asked me to share the following information.

Nome is a huge Walking Dead fan as this illustration of Michonne from several years ago attests. My friend Sean tells me he has helped to arrange that Oliver’s Michonne art be shown on The Talking Dead show that follows the Walking Dead airing this coming Sunday, February 12th.

Sean asked me to share this and invite all of you reading this now to watch this episode of The Talking Dead because Oliver’s life is quickly drawing to a close and knowing that lots of comic fans will watch it just to see his art will make him happy.

Nome’s family and power of attorney have given permission to include Oliver’s Michonne art.

You can see more of Nome’s work on Deviant Art.

What did everyone think of last night's episode?

Overall, I definitely enjoyed it - especially since the tone was so different from the season premiere. It was much lighter than the majority of the episodes from the first half of the season, and it felt more like the show we came to know and love over seasons 1-6.

In particular, really loved the scene where Rick and Michonne took the herd out with the cars/cable. That was instantly classic, haha! I also really enjoyed the moments with Jerry at the Kingdom and Gregory at Hilltop - Jerry because he just has so much personality, and Gregory because he's just so ridiculous that it's funny to watch the group's reaction to him (and to hear the excuses that come out of his mouth).

But my heart really broke for Daryl this week. His reaction to Morgan telling them that Carol was gone was just so sad :( Also, I had previously predicted that he might be left behind at the Kingdom for safety reasons, but the moment itself was kind of heartbreaking because he was really *just* reunited with the group. Though to be fair, Simon & co. came looking for him pretty quickly, so it was definitely the smartest move.

Next week, I'm intrigued to find out what happened to Father Gabriel. Did anyone else notice the second person in the car as he drove away? My family and I didn't when it first aired, but it was brought to my attention on Yvette Nicole Brown's Twitter (love that she never misses a beat!). That leaves me wondering if it's a hostage situation - i.e. that new group was trying to lure Rick out to the boat again (I think that their leader must have been the one spying on Rick/Aaron). In any case, I'm definitely intrigued!

Yeah, I was also wondering if the guy with the boots spoke to Gabriel in between the end of episode 8 and the beginning of episode 9. Maybe Gabriel took the food and supplies as a way to pay them back for the ones they lost at the houseboat?

I was impressed that they touched on almost every character, save the people at The Sanctuary. I mean, we literally checked in on all of the disparate groups from last season.

ETA   Episode recap and analysis is up!

Nice write up TJ!

I'm so glad TWD is back.  It's like I had a zombie shaped hole in my heart that only TWD could fill (and IZombie when it returns). I was surprised to see some articles online bashing the eppy,  Like M and TJ mentioned it touched on all the main characters and definitely felt like an earlier season episode.  I wasn't a big fan of Dbag Rick but now that he's back to his episode 2 ways of thinking, "there's no more white people, no more black people, there's only us vs. them. We're gonna have to all work together to stay alive" (not verbatim, but along those lines), i'm back on board. 

After hearing and reading Nicotero and Gimple talk about the remaining season i'm excited to tune in and not just DVR it and get to it whenever.

I enjoyed the new episode. Definitely some questions. I'm kind of confused as to what the direction is with Carol at this point. She's just going to live in that house by herself being crotchety?

I hadn't noticed the person in the car with Gabriel either, it was pointed out to me. It makes sense that he was kidnapped though. I mean he hears a loud noise, goes to check it out, there's another crash, and then he's suddenly
 packing like a maniac.

Also wondering how poor Eugene is faring with the Saviours..

Carol doesn't know about Abraham and Glenn. I think once she hears about that, she'll change her mind.
