Great mid-season premiere, without spoiling it for anyone, there's a few nods to the comics this episode and what I'm guessing is a major foreshadowing too

It would be a lie to say I enjoyed the episode because The Walking Dead is probably the most depressing, downbeat and grim TV series ever made! I haven't read any of the graphic novels, but it does seem particularly tough because there isn't any end in sight, no light at the end of the tunnel, so it's difficult to see any narrative arc.

I realise it's probably intentional as you are basically in the same boat as the characters, wondering if there is any point in carrying on because you know people you love and care about will die and there is barely any letup from the persistent gloom!

If you are up-to-date, this article in the Guardian is worth a read:

Really don't wanna spoil the show (or the comics), but it's safe to say the back end of this season is gonna be ****ing epic if my predictions are correct!

Being up to date with the comic book, I believe you'll be proven right, Rik. Little clues have been peppered around and, judging from the latest trailer, the s, h and 1 t is really gonna hit the proverbial fan.

The first two episodes since it started back have been quite poor in my opinion. Could have easily been done in one episode.

Calm before the storm I reckon

And, if they head the way I think they will, then the Governor is gonna look like Santa Claus!

I have no idea of the comics. How far ahead do they currently go Rik?

Last issue was 137, which is about 3 years after the current events of the show. I don't wanna say too much, because I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone.
To be fair to the writers, they've only taken snippets of the comic plot arcs, changed things round with characters and certain events, so with me being up to date with them isn't ruining the show too much for me
