This has taken me ages to write because I have literally had no words to say about what the season finale had to offer. It has taken me a few days to get my head around what I watched on Monday.
I thought the episode was severely tense, my hands were clammy and my heart was racing - something that doesn't occur often when I'm watching a television show.. I was genuinely worried about the characters, especially as there were masses of Saviours on every route towards the Hill Top. I was worried about Maggie, she really isn't looking good at the moment - and this is story line is differing from the comics.
Furthermore, the scene with Eugene taking the RV was very emotional, it was almost hinting as if he was possibly going to die? Although, I'm not sure.
That moment when they walked through the forest and were surrounded by Saviours was awful. Rick's face was so dramatic I don't know how he kept that look going.
The thing that got me is, not knowing who died. I feel this is a real cop out move by the writers and I think the fans deserve more. Perhaps the writers don't even know who died yet - but I think they're taking the viewers for granted. Having to wait until October to find out is really unfair. I get that apparently the death affects many characters and the way they evolve, but they could still carry on the story line with us knowing who died.
Then comes the next question.. who died?
I saw a fan theory that drew up the scene to try and predict who died by what the viewers could see from where Negan was standing, they concluded that it was Michonne. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it was her. I feel, however, that it was Daryl, then my next guess would be Glenn. I hear Daryl's character is causing a bit of grief for the writers as he is not in the comics, and also I have noticed that Norman Reedus has a new television show AND is appearing in many films. Daryl's character is boring me at the moment, although, I feel if he died a lot of people would stop watching. To be fair, as long as it isn't Abraham (which some people think it is) I'll be okay. The scene was just like the comics, air-go pointing to Glenn. Though it would definitely not surprise me if the writers changed who died.
I write a small blog about my Zombie collection and memorabilia. I thought it would be fun to document and share my collection with fellow collectors, people with the same interests and people who are most likely bored. I write short, pretty broad reviews and have fun doing it. If you like my blog, you can follow it on Twitter, too. www.twitter.com/strollingunwell

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 15. "East"
SPOILERS
It was nice to see a few more familiar faces this episode with most characters cropping up in places.
I think Carol is on the verge of a breakdown and I hope she isn't being led to her fate in the comics - suicide. That would really suck, they have done brilliantly with her character since season one and I think they need to keep more original characters alive. You could tell killing those guys really got to her, but for now we still do not know if she is hurt.
Maggie is worrying me. In the comics she has the baby, but I hope in the TV show she doesn't miscarry as that would be absolutely awful. I think Enid is conveying Sophia's role in the comics as Maggie and Glenn's adopted daughter - sort of.
I think Rick is starting to see some truth in Morgan's ways - you could see it in his face when Morgan told him about keeping that Wolf alive.
I hope Glenn and Michonne get out okay, although I'm wondering how on earth it's going to happen. I really hope Glenn doesn't meet his comic book fate. A fate, however, that I feel will be passed on to Daryl. We aren't sure if Daryl is dead, but we are pretty certain that was his blood from the gunshot. I think he will survive this though, and will later on be subject to the wrath of Negan and Lucille. I feel the character isn't really progressing as much as the others, and I've also heard Norman Reedus is getting into films, which suggests he is the big character that will leave the show. This, however, will cause an uproar. No doubt about it.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 14. "Twice As Far"
SPOILERS
Okay, so I do feel bad for Rosita but I feel one night stands in a such a small community will not make her feel better at all.
Eugene is starting to pipe up a bit and being mean to Abraham when really, he wouldn't be alive without him.
Denise. Poor, poor, Denise. I absolutely love her. She was becoming one of my favourite characters in the show. Her and Tara were my favourite couple. And the way it happened.. saying how she should have told Tara she loved her - heartbreaking. I did shed a few tears for Denise. She died the way Abraham did in the comics. I'm glad it wasn't Abraham but I'm so gutted they left that fate to her.
Where is Carol off to?

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 13. "The Same Boat"
This episode went way too quickly for my liking.
I wonder what has gotten into Carol? I think Morgan has got into her head.
"We're all Negan" is kind of annoying, however, I get it. Imagine someone coming into your base, or your home, and shooting up everyone you know, what would you do with Carol and Maggie? It's pure retaliation.
That girls finger stuck out to me, or should I say, lack of. Just shows what a nasty piece of work Negan is.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 12. "Not Tomorrow Yet"
SPOILERS
I adore Carol and her cookies, and when she put one on Sam's grave I felt so sad for her - I bet she loved the kid really. Her and Morgan really need to sort it out.
Abraham ended it with Rosita which I'm definitely gutted about, Sasha hasn't really shown that much interest so it could have been a big mistake.
When Glenn made his first kill of a human my heart was racing and I really did feel for him. It was a horrible situation and I really thought he would buckle. You could see the devastation in his eyes - even more so when he saw those pictures on the wall which were absolutely vile and made me feel ill.
Did anyone notice the Johnny Depp cameo?
[The three zombie heads that supposedly look like Gregory - the one on the right was cast with inspiration from Johnny Depp]
Tara declared her love for Denise which was lovely and you can soooooo tell Tara was pregnant in real life when she was filming this. Hiding her belly with dishes and big jumpers - does not work.
Well done to Gabriel. Knew they kept him alive for a reason.
I thought it was a brilliant episode, absolutely brilliant so far. I'm worried for Maggie and Carol because those women seem ridiculously ruthless. Eugh.
They're getting more badass as the episodes go on - a little too much, perhaps?

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 11 "Knots Untie"
SPOILERS
I thought this was a really good episode.
I like how the beginning was Abraham based, although I'm not sure how I feel about them following the comics and making him a possible cheater - it's going to suck real bad.
I can't stand watching Michonne and Rick, I love both characters but it feels like I'm watching a brother and sister get it on - it's weird and cringy.
With the group reaching the Hilltop and meeting Gregory I'm feeling as if they series is moving way too fast compared to the comics. They are really catching up now - what happens if they start to surpass the comics?
Gregory seems like an idiot and I don't like him very much.
The Hilltop seems much smaller than I imagined. I can see that they are involving Maggie more which suggests that she will be running it like in the comics. Also, the suggestion regarding Negan and wiping them out, and Maggie's following response about losing something makes me worry about Glenn's fate soon - only because it was Maggie that mentioned it.
That coat Rick Grime's wears has sure had a lot of blood on it from many different people. It was brilliant when that woman punched him and Michonne knocked her to the floor, badass Michonne strikes again - love her.
I almost cried at that baby scan - I am so happy for them but so worried about Glenn!
You can tell the next few episodes will be BIG and I bet this season ends on a massive cliff-hanger.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 10 "The New World"
SPOILERS
Nice to see Jesus appear - I hope he's just as good as he is in the comics. All of that food and supplies absolutely wasted though. If the comics are anything to go by I wonder if that was the stash for Negan?
I'm loving Denise and Tara at the moment - Denara? It's adorable.
I see Carl has healed well - shame. Just kidding. Enid is coming out of her shell more, too.
Where was Abe?
THE LAST BIT WITH THE KISS (& more I guess) WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?? Although considering in the comics Rick is with Andrea, Michonne, too, is a long standing character so I guess it sort of makes sense? Can't believe it though!
I want next week to be here so badly!

SPOILERS
Wow. WHAT AN EPISODE!
There was so much going on!
Firstly, well done Daryl right? Bazooka'd those badboys hilariously.
Abraham was looking so hot.
When I was watching it I was thinking "sod walking through all of those zombies" - absolute madness. Then it was like "MOMMY" and then it was like noooo Sam you absolute mug! Oh you got bitten, OH YOU KILLED YOUR MOTHER THAT'S NICE. Ohhh the heartbreak in Rick's face and the flashbacks - how sweet. Then your idiot brother tries to shoot Rick and Carl and then it's like YES MICHONNE - we can always count on you - then OH NO WAY CARL HAHA (I hate you so I don't care). Although he survives in the comics so it's cool.
Did anyone else feel guilty for that Wolf guy? I did a bit, I think Morgan was right.
Then when the whole team gets involved in taking on all those zombies - what a proud moment. Seriously thought Glenn was a goner but then SEXY AS HELL ABRAHAM SAVES HIM BECAUSE HE IS GOD. I love him.
BRILLIANT EPISODE - WRITING IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6 - Episode 5.
Now we know who was shouting "OPEN THE GATES" - but how the bloody hell did they run that fast through all those walkers.
The people of Alexandria are starting to worry about Glenn, Nicholas, Abraham, Daryl and Sasha. Glenn and Nicholas are presumed dead but there is still hope amongst the community.
The walkers are piling in around the defences, hopefully the walls will hold. The people of Alexandria seem to have been living without a clue the whole time the apocalypse has been upon them. They are not ready to fight the walkers, despite how much they want to, and how much they need to.
For once we see more than five seconds of Maggie and her storyline will pull on your heart strings, no doubt about it. It makes us want Glenn home even more. If you've read the comics you could probably have seen this coming.
Oh, and Rick seems to be getting a bit confident...
I hope Abraham is okay. I love him.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6 - Episode 4.
*Spoilers*
Apologies for the late post.
This 90 minute flash-back episode regarding Morgan was amazing. He has been around since episode one of the first season, yet, we've not seen that much of him. I love his character and I love how they make him crop up now and again.
In this episode we learnt what Morgan went through, and how he has become who he is today.
Eastman is, in my opinion, one of the best characters so far. Who would have thought that a man in one episode would have such a profound effect and impact on the viewer.
Also, I love Tabitha the goat - only in one episode and still has more fans than Lori...what.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 2.
Cool episode! Absolutely loved it!
But now I feel like no character is safe and they will write out anyone at any time.
How is Rick going to get out of that? And his hand? I hope he doesn't chop it off like they did in the comics.
Also, there is no way THEY can have been written out. I feel the producers respect that character a lot more to send THEM out like that. I've heard a few conspiracy theories but we shall see. Intestines aren't in your chest so they clearly belonged to the other character. I reckon THE CHARACTER will slide under the bin and I think THEY will use walker blood and guts like what happened in Season 1 to get out of that mess.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 2.
I watched this the other day but I've been so busy that it is only now that I've had the time to write this.
What. An. Episode. It was violent, it was gory, it was amazing. I'm so worried about the future of Alexandria it is unreal! Of course, I guess, if they stay in Alexandria for long it'll be 'boring' (I don't think so, but the general population does) and people will start to lose interest. Although, in the comics they are still there to this date. So who knows? Could go either way.
I'm really getting fed up of the Wolves and I'm very, very curious about that Enid. I reckon there's more to her than meets the eye, despite getting a bit of background information on her.
OH, AND, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW... This episode was set at the same time as last weeks episode so now we know what that car horn was all about!! I knew the wolves were going to come and get crazy in this season!!

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 1.
I appreciated the fact that this was 1 hour 20 minutes instead of the regular hour.
At first I started off a bit confused, but, when the flash backs started to happen, it all made sense. I liked the idea of the past being in black and white, and I also felt that they managed to merge two episodes into one by playing them side by side sort of thing. It made the storyline much more interesting, rather than having the past as one episode and the present as another.
Loving the new character, Heath, who looks astonishingly like the comics, however, I felt this episode was slow. Slow, in a good way though. Trying to divert a heard away from camp in a few minutes is obviously not realistic. I like slow, though. Because I feel too much has happened too quickly in each season - that's why I appreciate the slower episodes.
