There's 10,000 walkers in the quarry, all packed together tight. Catch a few big groups together and fire would spread from each one to another....particularly if you assume that fire would not immediately kill or cripple them .

aint gonna lie he seemed like a sweet guy, on talking dead but ive never liked his acting, lol and watching season 5 allll day i seen the preview commercial fucking 100 times lol, and he was annoy before the first ep aired..
I was a fan of him as a child actor, but he never caught on. Doesn't help that he looks 10-20 years older than he really is

better be Jesus, or the character is going to feel a tad superfluous when he shows up because of what they've done with Morgan's character

I think the sheer size would make fire unfeasible. It's just too big. The fire wouldn't spread that far. Even if you somehow burned 50%, you're still dealing with thousands of walkers...plus a few thousand more flaming walkers.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Agree, idiots.
Also wouldn't fire attach more walker. They have no sense. They would just walk right in.

With Daryl's unlimited fuel I'm surprised they didn't burn them. They could just keep showering them with fuel
The black and white was distracting. they could have gone creative on showing past and present.
Hopefully episode 2 is more interesting.
Rick vs Morgan = Civil War

Does anyone else think Heath and Sasha look similar? I first thought this when I watched the NWA movie.

Morgan has followed in his disapproving glare footsteps so beautifully.

Nah, I love that guy. People that don't like him don't watch @midnight
I'm not sure I liked the structure of the episode. The black and white seemed gratuitous, and I would rather have had the season pick up directly where the show left off as there was plenty to work with. Rick and Morgan's reunion, burying Reggie and Pete, discovering the quarry of walkers, and thwarting Carter's conspiracy, which all occurred in black and white, could have very well made up the premiere and been a little more fleshed out.
Also Aaron being completely absent from the episode felt strange, considering he had been with Morgan and Daryl and saw Rick shoot Pete.

Good episode, I really like Rick's character development in this show.

last I remember, Gabriel was always on the edge of losing it. So maybe off screen he finally snapped.
regardless of who actually honked the horn, fuck Gabriel.

Really enjoyed the premiere. Love the non-linear style Gimple went for here. It felt like there was 2-3 episodes worth of content packed into one. Shit also went from 0 to 100 in no seconds flat. Already getting a picture in my head how these first 8 episodes will be laid out along with the pacing for the back half and I'm liking it. I'm liking it a lot.
I thought there would be so much more to him though! LOL Gimple was sort of hyping him up as someone who'd drive a lot of plot points and then he just gets taken out in the first episode. That legit shook me. hah
Feel bad for Embry. Apparently he auditioned for the show a few times in the past too and now he finally gets a part just to get taken out by an immobilized walker.
You nailed it!

I wasn't a big fan of the black and white flashbacks. I get that it was an homage to the comics and helped to differentiate from the future scenes, but I feel like they should have saved it for an episode where the flashbacks didn't comprise the majority of the episode.
Other than that, I thought it was a pretty good start to the season.
Yeah, they made a whole deal of announcing his character and talking him up in interviews and then he just up and dies in the first episode, lol.
Poor dude

Mine too. Wow.
This was an okay premiere. Nothing special, but they accomplished quite a bit with it. The ending certainly makes you think, too.
I'm certain I saw Aaron in the meeting scene where Carter objects to the plan.

Jesus could you not have linked to the image instead of embedding it so us at work who sit in an open plan office don't look like perverts?

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Rarely do shows get better with age, I'm pretty sure The Walking Dead is a rare example of a show getting better as it went on. I've enjoyed this show way more since Gimple became showrunner.

Aaron was at the meeting with Eric, and then they were both digging at the work site when the gang was putting up the fence. That being said, it was weird Aaron didn't say anything at the meeting - I was surprised he didn't volunteer to go with Rick & co. It looks like we get a lot more of him next episode, which is good.

Yeah I gave up on the show around when the governer died. Recently caught up and I enjoyed season 5 immensely.

Crazy how Carol went from timid house wife to Rick's personal KGB agent.

A case of abused becoming the abuser?
Her development has been incredibly interesting whatever way you look at it.

Yeah her arc is one of (if not) the best on the show. When the show first started it seemed like her character would always be a victim, but seeing her now she's a cunning and manipulative killer.

Died off-screen most likely. I think Morgan could't bring it in himself to kill his wife and the wife bit Duane.
Thanks! Will look up that episode.
Okay, must have missed him. But yeah, strange he didn't speak up at the meeting.

What a great premiere, the writing seems a lot better compared to Season 5. The flow of the episode was so good.

Yawn.
This was the weakest season opener by far. Rubbing pacing, mainly due to the format they worked with. Hoping they don't have these black and white flashbacks in the future episodes. Killed whatever tension there could have been because of the constant cutbacks. All the walker sequences fell flat too.
Is there any word if this new format's going to move forward with the future episodes?
