"I fully respect the hair game"
"Did you take my protein bars?"
Really bad episode. Total mess as Miradwyn said.
the black and white wasn't necessary
Always the same story.. Camp going to get overrun.. blablabla
That was a stupid plan.
I loveeeee the quick “no, who else”
The worst episode so far.
Not a great start for a new Season :(
Good, but black and white effect esa innesesary
I hate flashbacks mixed in with current stuff. And the black and white is a really obnoxious way to differentiate. There has to be a better way.
WOW! This season premiere did not go as I expected. In fact it was better than I anticipated! I thought they would spend a part of the season with the whole debacle about people trusting Rick vs people wanting to exile him, and I like how it was basically solved in the flashbacks.
Also, it was good to see the follow through on the events of the last episode, like how Morgan and Rick reacquaintance again and that Morgan made Rick think a bit about the way he is behaving. Speaking of Morgan really great that he spot Carol for what she really is.
Eugene was adorable in this episode.
And I LOVE Maggie and Tara talking, and how Maggie managed to show Tara that even though we hate Nicholas they didn't have that much double standards in the way they treated others. On this note I do hope he becomes a helpful person to the group. Same with Father Gabriel.
Kudos for Jessie not being all puppy in love with Rick, makes me respect that she understand and agrees with him, but is trying to solve things on her own!
And the plan was great, kept my interest the whole episode, and that surprising ending was just what makes me like this show... definitely didn't see that coming.
I can't wait for the next episode
A chopped up, jumbled, edited all to hell, mess.
"yeah, let's start building walls on the road without securing the quarry first, that way, we'll have more opportunities for things to go wrong, and a chance we'll have to execute the plan earlier, because everyone likes some danger in their post zombie-apocalypse lives", god these people are morons...
Dodgy cgi and dialogue. I cracked up laughing at the awful opening part before the opening credit music...also Bear Mccreary's music scores this episode are lazy rips of his work/music from Defiance. I couldn't take the intense scenes serious/properly with the Defiance music. Just a MESS of an episode. Please no more black & white!..It's not hard to differentiate past and present(or even future) stories in this world's timeline. They've done it fine/well enough so far in the show - it just seems more lazy. [Not a great shoddy start]
I can't wait for season 6!
It started off so slow with the constant flashbacks. I think it worked later on as they showed parts of the plan along with their explination in flashbacks, but other than that it just dragged on the start. The black and white was stupid too, but other than that it was a decent start. Hopefully it gets better as the season progresses.
I like how they still face unkown troubles. I'm sure Season 6 will be just as good.
Not bad, but not great either. Especially for a premiere. The plot seems to reconnect the people after-Reg (and shows subtle, potential conflict), while in the same time it moves on with a new matter at hand. I don't really take issue with the plot but the editing could be better, I guess.
Lots of unexpected humor in this episode. That's a new one.
HOLY SHIT! great first episode of the season, but it would have been marginally better if there wasn't flashbacks mixed in. hate those fuckers. lots of unexpected humour in this episode, which was weird but not unwarranted.
Great episode. I actually loved the flashbacks and how they looked (made me think of the comics)
slow at first because of the constant flashbacks but then it gets better
Flashbacks they are needed. Good, but in the next episodes it will be better
nice comeback, wish whole season will be that good
Madre mía, cuanto zombi en la mina, y con lo bien que iba todo, seguro que han sido los Lobos esos.
Finally The Walking Dead is back and I am so excited. But the black and white theme for the "flashbacks" were terrible, wth. At least the zombies still look like proper zombies instead of the extreme blue eyes zombies in Fear The Walking Dead. I just wished that Carter's plot wouldn't have been found out so Rick finally would have died. Hope he dies soon.
finally the wait is over
The flashback was unnecessary, otherwise it's a solid season debut.
The flashbacks mixed with the current stuff is a bit slow at first but at the end is really great... I really liked this first episode! I can't wait!
Good premiere. Glad I caught up on this show over the Summer.
I can't wait!! Looks good this season
Seems people whine alot of this black and white stuff.
The first episode they used it and people can only whine about it?
Serious okay the episode wasn't that great but was necessary.
I am also really excites

Perfectly acceptable. Probably more like a 6.5/10 if I'm honest with myself. I liked the structure of the episode, juxtaposing the walker plan in action with black and white flashbacks to show what happened immediately after the events of the Season 5 finale, but the show leaned on it a bit too hard at times. Also, I'm pretty sick and tired of pairs of characters having heavy-handed colloquies with each other about how "things have changed" or how "we're not who we used to be" or "that's just who you are". Those are all worthwhile themes, but the show has beaten them to death and had trouble finding new angles on them. Plus the character of Morgan is drifting dangerously into some uncomfortable "magical negro" trope territory.
As usual, Carol, Darryl, Mischonne, seem to have interesting moments and bits of story potential, Eugene is entertaning and oddly compelling, Abrhaham, Sasha, Glen, and Maggie could go either way, and Rick is kind of the dull everyman drifting back and forth between kindness and cruelty. I'm not really interested in the battle for Rick's soul anymore, even if it's influenced by the hardened leader of the gated community, but we'll see where all this goes.
