Berkeley, whose more recent TV credits include Nikita, Being Human, Salem and Zoo, is joining AMC’s zombie smash in a top-secret Season 6 recurring role that sources confirm is not
infamous comic baddie Negan.
That said, I hear his character — whose name is being kept under wraps —
does share some of the same characteristics as Negan.
Namely his narcissism, huge ego and self-preservation. He’s also said to relish the superiority that comes with being in control, but he plays it off with a car salesman-type charm.

I'm guessing he's
Gregory.

Yeah, most definitely. Fits the profile. Interesting that they're casting him when they're only halfway done filing the sixth season. So Hilltop seems to make an appearance early on in the back half of Season 6. Almost confirms that S6 finale will be a cliffhanger on Negan's introduction. Unless Gimple tries for something original that would pack the same punch but by the end of the Season 6 both the Wolves and the herd will have been dealt with. Everything settles down from there until Negan shows up.


lol too perfect

loving those cast portraits too

I think I'll put the character/actor names right on them this time with that TWD font in red. That should look pretty gud.

I really like how they seem to be pacing this season.

Sounds good!

To my mind, these characters are all tainted. I'm just sick of them all, except Morgan (and that's just because we haven't seen much of him).

Oh well, see you guys next month.

It's been long speculated since last season that Sasha and Michonne are splitting the parts. Michonne with the Rick part and Sasha being the sniper, having the belltower, and maybe continue to have a connection with Austin Nichol's character.

Goddamn he's beautiful. Although he looks really off in spoiler's costume from the pic spoiled awhile ago. I was expecting someone tanner and more musclely. Right now he looks like a homeless power-bottom twink...

YES

Edit:
Wait, Deanna Monroe, Spencer Monroe...Paul Monroe? :O

Niiice.

You almost got me with the Monroe connection but Douglas, Regina, Spencer and Paul all had the same last name in the comics too. No relation unless Gimple tries to go that way for whatever reason.

And you voiced my concerns with his physique exactly. He literally looks like (no pun intended) a poor man's version of his comic counterpart but maybe his acting will make up for it. Never seen any of his work so keeping expectations low on this one.

Doing an abridged rewatch..Andrea is the absolute worst. I mean I knew that already but holy fucking shit. Stubborn, unloyal, dangerously impulsive, she goes 1000% percent in whatever direction her emotions tell her to at any given second.

Season 3 she literally abandons her only friend in the world when Michonne quickly realizes what the Governor is and refuses to stay in Woodbury. Even after discovering for herself that he's a head collecting pychopath who makes people compete in Mortal Kombat and keeps his Zombie daughter in a cage, she's convinced she can get through to him, once again siding with her Govvy upon finding out her original group, people she once called family, are alive. She visits the Group and instead of staying with her 'family'(who Michonne is now with btw), she returns to the place SHE JUST HAD TO SNEAK OUT OF and immediately proceeds to tell the Gov how her 'family' is a lightly armed downtrodden group with a newborn. I mean FUCK, Andrea...fuck.

Easily one of my least favorite character in TV history. She only had 3 good moments in 3 seasons before the Gov put her out of our misery.

-The moment with Amy after she died
-Her Zombie rampage after escaping the Farm
-An ass shot after screwing the Governor.
 
I'm not familiar with the comics at all, but browsing through these threads these past few years, it looks like every fan is excited for
Negan
. Once he's gone, is there anything else to look forward to?

I was watching the 2nd episode of te first seasonband theres a zombie using a rock to bash in the department store glass.

Didn't Morgan's zombie wife also try the doorknob to the front door to his house in the pilot?

Negan is still alive in the comics. >:) But there is another villain that comes after him that they're currently dealing with...

Also, zombies are running. Do TWD zombies run?

Comic/show timeline thought:
The timeskip in the comic will probably not be replicated in the show, reason being to give the comic ample room to explore things without the show eclipsing it?

Yeah, Fear the Walking Dead makes the original series look like a masterpiece. I still dont care for the characters at all after five episodes.

The only thing I really like about it is the military.
I wish they just said screw normal civilians and focused on a group of military/police/doctors.
Slowly that group dissolves and civilians then start to filter into a ragtag group of survivors.

At least then you get something not normally shown in zombie apocalypse media and not just Walking Dead Lite.

First review of season 6 and its surprisingly
a good one:

Did it had any bad reviews at any time?

Everything gets good reviews. Even Fear The Walking Dead reviews are like "Yeah, its really slow and it really sucks and the ratins are falling but im loving the character development and how they're handling the world slowly decaying without showing anything at all and frankly we only know the world is decaying because we already know its a zombie tv show great five stars loving it"

(What i do love is when people praise "character development" when the characters suck. Why would i want to see "character development" of terrible, annoying characters? To see it get worst? Cause thats whats usually happens)
 
Another S6 premiere review
http://comicbook.com/2015/09/29/the-walking-dead-season-6-premiere-spoiler-free-review/
All in all, the premiere is going to satisfy die-hard Walking Dead fans and Walking Dead critics alike. Staunch performances from the well-known cast and tremendous execution of character relationships combine for a a satisfying 90-minute premiere of The Walking Dead. Then, they're given the show's largest horde of walkers - ever - to cap things off and send the show back to its roots. Bring on season 6.
 
So just finished Season 5 and holy Shit, this is why I watched in the first place. Some stuff wasn't that great, but Fuck, loved the action, tension, suspense and there was barely any Cooooorllll. My mind is absolutely racing right now and I'm glad its back in a couple weeks.

Also, I hope season 6 has more
Morgan aka BLACK JESUS!
. Dude is totally underutilized.

Maybe it's just me, but God I'm done with Missy. Like if her head exploded and she never existed I still wouldn't be satisfied. She was okay last season as a clever sort of take on The Master, but in these last two episodes she felt like nothing more than "slightly more evil River Song."

Like, I don't know. Can there just be one woman in The Doctor's life who isn't obsessed with him and proving to his companions that she's soooo much better and knows him soooo well.

At least Missy has thousands of billions of years of history, I guess, but it's so tiring seeing every single woman in the show just obsess over him.

Can there be a woman who just doesn't like the Doctor? And not just a 'I don't like you and I will die in the episode I was introduced in so the showrunners can make a point about you' kinda way?

Like the eyepatch lady. She wasn't awful in that regard.

Just binged Season 5 on Netflix this week and absolutly can't wait for more.

Can I really watch the full episodes a day after online on the AMC website without being subscriped to an US cable-service? This would be too good to be true. I tried it with the Season 5 finale yesterday, which still was available for 8 days, and it worked, but it didn't when I tried watching Fear The Walking Dead (asked for a login for a cable service).
I'm German, so I'd have to wait until October next year to watch Season 6 on US Netflix (with a Proxy) otherwise :( Thanks for the answers!
