DVR people, DVR. I. Start watching at 9:30 so I can skip over the commercials. Makes for a much better show.

Really looks like AMC is going to hit us over the head with the commercials during TWD since its probably their best time slot and a cash cow ad wise.

I've seen a couple people say something like like this, but it's still the same 44-46 minutes like it's always been, and like every other hour long show is, right? Maybe they switched up the commercial pattern or something that made people think there were more of them?

The spacing is just garbage.

Tough character loss for me. I liked Tyrese and thought he brought some much needed humanity. I really enjoyed the artsy vibe the episode had. To me, the hallucinations and the speech were him deciding if he should fight for his life or just give up and die.

Wasn't totally unexpected, but I thought he was gonna pull through. They really dragged his death out, having amputated him and in the process of trying to save him. Thought they would be going back to the hospital.

The hallucinations threw me off. Not much of that in TWD, but I forgot that Rick was seeing **** a few seasons back too so not unprecedented. His speech was weird though, but I guess it was like the ending to his season long depression/humanity. Since he had to care for Judy, he's just gone downhill, taking hits and seeing more brutal behavior then ever.

Back to back episodes of character deaths! We may be set for a while. The team needs some time to process these losses. We'll probably get a stretch of eps where they've settled down for a bit before the next big threat comes along.

Noah had a sister and two twin brothers. The sister was locked in one of the room, one of the twins in the bed (dead x2) and the other one was the one who got Ty.

I agree 100% with what trob said. If you're in the Zombie Apocalypse and someone you just met goes hobbling off all crazy, then that's on them. Also, you have to keep your head on a swivel. There's no reason to go getting all mesmerized by a picture. Count me the group that is kind of glad to see Ty go. I was excited when he first came along (The Wire represent!). He had some great scenes, but eventually he just turned into the black version of Dale.

The dream sequences really didn't bother me that much. I actually liked them honestly. It was every Sopranos-ey
The one thing that I wished they would have done was once Ty started turning, make his dreams go from what he was having into what Zombie's actually see (I know this happened it 28 Days Later, but it would have been cool to see what TWD did with that). Then once he started seeing whatever it is walkers see have everything go to black.. signifying him getting shanked in the head. That would have been a awesome scene and would have been the perfect payoff for his long, drawn out death.

Since he was introduced I kept waiting for Ty to become a badass, I thought when he grabbed the hammer he was ready to make that turn...I was ready to see a one armed Ty wrecking fools with a hammer in hand.

That's what I thought too. Herschel could get away with being hobbled by one leg because he wasn't a fighter. But I thought there was an opportunity for some cool *** scenes with a one armed Ty doing crazy things. Dashed!

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 5)

The ****! We got some cowardly *** priest and the reason why everybody hates Chris was shown tonight, and Tyreese goes out like a punk?! I haven't particularly disliked a TWD episode before, but I dislike this one.

What a waste. As others have mentioned, I was ready for him to attach that hammer to his arm and wreck some fools. Bah!

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 5)

I mean, to each their own, but I definitely disagree with you saying it's not a good episode.

As for anyone saying about Ty running around with one arm and a hammer. They did that with Merle already, no need to repeat it. The group was getting too big and they needed to cut some fat. They got rid of the two most expendable characters of the group, it made sense, and both deaths were good for the story.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 5)

Comics Tyrese > show Tyrese

I think he was portrayed wrong in the show and I did not like the shows interpretation of the character. Can't say I am sad to see him go.......sort of an easy guy to off and no real risk in doing it since it was inevitable this would happen once he was announced for the show.

Exactly why I was fine with him dying on the show. I wanted him to be like in the books, but it just never happened. Hoping Abraham can get there.

I didn't know the guy that played Cutty on the wire was on that show. I just happened to see him on talking dead while I was watching you better call Saul.
he gained a little weight from his wire days.

Beth's death was earned. Ty's just happened and had the stinking feeling of "because we just wanted to get rid of someone." Even T-Dog died a better and reasonable death than Tyrese. Bob too.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 5)

Definitely disappointed he was the one to go but it was a great episode.

Still glad they're mixed it up compared to the comic because I'd be disappointed knowing exactly what was coming next.

Also, if anyone has a way for me to read comic 103 and up, hit me up with a PM.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 5)

Noah is a cancer. They should have changed the name of this episode to "Everybody Hates Chris."
