Wasn't she talking about the potential for a Madi-Troy hook up? Baitball Blogger Oct 2017 #7
Yeah, I think she was more about the Nick/Troy hookup, know'm say'n? Iggo Oct 2017 #9
I think there was something going on there, but it doesn't make sense. Baitball Blogger Oct 2017 #10

This two hour finale is twisting and turning as people are pursuing their own agendas. Betrayals everywhere.

Pretty gut-wrenching, actually.

and Madison kept repeating her lines.

I was really tired of this show until last night's episode. I like the idea of some of these people ending up on the Walking Dead though so we'll see what happens.

I have to believe that Daniel and Nick are alive and well. They have died a hundred times and live to tell the tale.

I realized I was losing interest before because Nick could always be counted on to fuck things up and I got tired of the pattern. Applause to Madison for killing Troy. I'm sure Nick will tell Daniel. It's like this group is going through a very rough vetting process to find people they can trust.

Madison went straight to the Carol stage because she was already halfway there before the apocalypse began. The Clarkes are going to be a fearsome family in the Zombie wars.

Some good information from Talking Dead: The man who plays Victor says that he does believe Nick is right. Madison will eventually have to put Nick down. Also, Ruben Blades - Daniel - says he was pissed off when he discovered he was going to get his mouth shot off. It meant he had to get up att four in the morning for make up.

The focus has been on Madison and her "abilities", shall we say, but I dread the day she considers doing anything to Nick.

Something has drawn me to the Daniel character most of all. He's complicated and plays an important role. I hope he's around for the merge.

Madison took care of that MILF problem. She brained Troy when she found out he was responsible for the zombie horde that killed everyone. She put him down.

Troy was a downright bigot/racist. Unless he was a hardcore racist in order to hide his own gay leanings.

Of course, Nick may have been partial to Troy because he saw himself in his eyes. If Madison would kill Troy, then he knows that he is next because they were one and the same.

he was unstable from the start. He was killing people for sport. I refused to give him a pass.

He seems to be the only one with a moral code. It might not be one that would pass a civilized world, but they're not in a civilized situation.

These are a group of very damaged people coming together to survive. A slightly different mix than the WD.

Just started watching it. I heard the second half is pretty good.

I binge watched Vikings, The Wire, Van Helsing and Wynonna Earp over the summer.

I liked the first two seasons of Vikings, but I started to lose interest when I was praying that Ragnar's time was up.

is very good - it's on amazon prime now, if you have amazon prime. (not sure about Netflix or Hulu)

It's regarded by many critics as the best TV series ever. Not sure about that, but it did feature Lawrence Gilliard, Chad Coleman and Seth Gilliam, all of whom later appeared on The Walking Dead as well as Idris Elba and a young Michael B Jordan. And, Dominic West is one of the main cops on the show (he was lined up to be Mance Rayder on Game of Thrones, but turned it down because he didn't know the show)

Wynonna Earp is shades of Buffy, only with a western motif. The lead character is a great-great-great granddaughter of Wyatt Earp and Van Helsing is set in the near future and the lead is a descendant of the Van Helsing from Dracula.

Have gotten Direct TV since (first DVR I have ever had). I looked at my recordings this weekend and was happy that they were marathoning the series and I had the first episodes recorded!! Then I checked again later in the day and discovered the default setting is to only keep 5 shows from a recorded series... Now I am in the same damn position, don't have the first shows of the season.
