Last season they ran the UK new episodes at 2am sunday our time so we could get it same time as u.s.a, or at least watch in the morning. This season we havent them till 9pm monday eve - so just about to start.

I enjoy the show too, a lot. Then again, I'm a sucker for zombie apocalyptic stories in the first place. And the show is generally very well written and features interesting characters.

More spoilers. "dont read" as if any of you do anyway! 
ive seen the season close now and the worm has turned. About time, was what me and probably most of the other viewers thought.
Joanie, Once they all started cuddling and pairing up with little knowing smiles - it was like disney animals falling in love. I was waiting for them to hand out sandwiches and start waving lighters!
Lets hope 2nd half of the series really gets going as the big revenge plan takes shape.

SPOILER IN A THREAD OF SPOILERS - OR AT LEAST A LOT OF MOANING.
Please tell me that wasnt the end of the series last night joanie?!
I thought we were working towards some Negan conclusion but - as ever - its just dragging it on.
I didnt like the blind alleys and whole episodes dedicated to 1 character when the main plot was just left and left.
At the mid season break we felt like they were actually gonna DO SOMETHING but here we are another half dozen episodes later not much further forward.
Its the one thing about good american dramas that ruins it for me - they get a good successful idea and spoil it by eeking everything out to the final degree and then some. Im getting tired of scenes with Negan hovering over someone with his baseball bat - we did all that at the end of the last series.

Yeah on a scale of 1 to 10, prick king being a 30, negan passed that at the end of last series.
Thors right - and i never thought id say that - but enuf already is exactly it.
So if its not the end of the series - how many to go?

I've been watching it for watching's sake for some time now (LOST all over again).
For every 5-10 minutes of interest or excitement, there's 40 minutes of doom, gloom, tedium and boring navel-gazing.
Having said that, I never saw the two main twists coming last night (the Sasha and Scavengers ones), so hat's off to the producers for that*.
I became annoyed with the characters of (P)Rick and Kaaaaarrrrrrrllllllllll eons ago, to the point were I'm almost Team Negan myself now!
And there's no end in sight Bill. The makers have said they will carry on while people continue to watch (and despite a drop/blip after the uber-gory series opening, it's ratings are still pretty high).
As for the next series...IT'S WAR, BOYS!!!!
*the tiger/cavalry scenes were ridiculous though, and just showed how up-down/inconsistent this show is/can be.

It’s a comic book show and they’ve been following the story pretty close to the (very popular) source material. The comics have 166 issues so far; the show is currently at issue 115 in the story line. If you’re looking for realism in a “zombie apocalypse” show, then that should have been put to bed the moment Rick woke up from his coma in episode one.

True, but the zombies have virtually NOTHING to the do with the show now, other than provide the occasional shock death.
You could quite easily remove them from the series and it would continue as it is.

I stopped watching after last season because it was so bad, but saw a few episodes of this year as I've been over at friends who kept watching. What I saw was mostly awful. The hilarious nadir being a large band of people who seemingly live in the worlds biggest scrap heap rubbish dump and all act like they have concussion "Me am us guns you give." (That may be a direct quote). They all walked silently in patterns and wore grey and looked like they were looking for their missing synthesizers. Just rubbish. Did they ever explain what the problem was with the way they spoke? Then there was another with a commune of women "join us, we need your guns! With your army we can defeat Negan!" Said army ran screaming and cowering into a forest unarmed and were all captured inside of 2 minutes. My god it's a really badly written and structured show.
The music however was frequently great! Several moments really leapt out during what I saw. Not sure if I'll be seeing a finale episode but they really need to fire the show runners at the very least. Is there no walking dead CDs like there for Game of Thrones?
