maystone March 27, 2014 Share March 27, 2014 I felt kind of bad for Melissa McBride when she was on two weeks ago. I think she wanted to go in depth on her character's story in The Grove, really dig into it. But it's a fan talk show, so Chris had to keep moving it along. She seemed to loosen up more toward the end, especially when Yvette put her hand on Melissa's arm in Carol/Daryl shipper moment. Heh.

lawless March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Love it when Yvette Nicole Brown is on -- she treats the Talking Dead appearance like it's an important event, re-watches episodes to prepare, brings notes, and is delightful and polite. The perfect guest. I also liked Chris Jericho, because though I have no idea who he is, he also takes it seriously and comes to the show dressed up fancy and prepared to discuss the show substantively, and is willing to side with gray-haired, dowdy, middle-aged Carol over Rick. Hah! I didn't agree with him, but I found his stance very amusing coming from a giant man who I think is a professional wrestler. I also loved it when Aisha Taylor was on, and she worked well with Michael Rooker, to my surprise, but he was probably extra nice to her because she's gorgeous. Nathan Fillion was charming, though a little dull. MM was truly the worst, and Julie Bowen was HORRIBLE . . . but I think she was actually on Talking Bad rather than Talking Dead. I made the same mistake until someone pointed that out to me -- but yeeesh, that was so awful it bears mention anyway. And she was paired with Vince Gilligan no less, poor man. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2029-talking-dead-where-chris-hardwick-got-his-groove-back/#findComment-11192
Milaxx March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 Talking Dead was good this week. Just Andrew and Scott. That was all that was needed. I had my doubts when Scott said he was going to give every character air time this season. It may have been an uneven season but overall I think it was successful. As a viewer I have much more of a sense of who these characters are. I'm also glad TD realized they can't have actors from the show on only when their character dies. Next season we finally get Chandler RIgg. I wonder how much of a growth spurt he'll have over the summer. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2029-talking-dead-where-chris-hardwick-got-his-groove-back/#findComment-13137

SimoneS March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 (edited) Andy Lincoln was an entertaining guest. I enjoyed the stories that he shared and his insight into Rick. I had seen him in so many British shows/movies that it was odd the first time I saw him accent-less on TWD. Good to hear his real voice.

Rapunzel March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 (edited) This episode of Talking Dead was pretty good. Andrew Lincoln is very articulate and brings a nice amount of humor. I hope he is on next season as well - would be great to see him on with Yvette Nicole Brown and/or Norman Reedus. I should not have watched The Talking Dead with Andrew Lincoln, because now I like Rick a lot more than is reasonable. I have always loved Andrew Lincoln (and think he's gorgeous) long before The Walking Dead so I have never been able to dislike Rick as a character even when some of the things he's done really annoyed me. I have no problem not liking the version from the Graphic Novels at times, however. Scott Gimple was much better this time around than he was on his appearance earlier this season. He seemed so awkward and nervous last time that I was hoping he would never be on again but thankfully he was considerably better this time. He's still not as great as some of the other crew members that have been on, but at least he's not one of the worst ever and I wouldn't mind if he were on again next season.

LCanterbury April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I watched for the first time ever this episode, purely because Andrew Lincoln was on (my thoughts about him are far from pure though) and I enjoyed it. I liked hearing the behind the scenes tidbits and insights.

matilda76 April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I had no idea who CM Punk was before he appeared on TD, but I appreciated him. I also love Aisha Tyler. Really enjoyed Andrew Lincoln for the season finale. I was a little apprehensive that he'd be really serious, so I was happy that he was joking around as well as giving good discussion. That's why I wasn't too hot about Melissa McBride a few weeks back. Granted, the episode with Lizzie and Mika was traumatizing, but on a show like TD you have to have some levity. She was way too serious and barely cracked a smile whenever the other guests joked around.

Pete Martell April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 (edited) Most of the joking in her episode was about "Caryl" vs "Bethyl." I think she, like I, may have felt that was disrespectful to a story about mental illness and two children being murdered. The Love Actually woman tells her story. http://www.viewerdiscretionadvised.net/2014/03/omg-i-was-on-talking-dead.html The bonus clip, where Andrew reveals that he's the one who remembered that Rick should recognize Tara, and he sort of puts down his attempt at a Southern accent, much to their horror.

It's definitely not safe and, quite frankly, is stupid but Andy voluntarily chose the raw chicken. Assuming the risk, etc. I'm sure they had him sign a shit ton of waivers though. I think they might be worried about getting in trouble if it was an underage actor like Chandler Riggs. Chandler will be on Talking Dead next season - I wonder if that was a result of the Twitter outrage from fans when AMC told him he couldn't be a guest this year.

Pete Martell April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 It depends on the comedian. A really great one would be nice, but I'm afraid they would get one who would ask him if he's going to hook up with Beth. I have a feeling they were afraid that them not having on this season would cause some sort of controversy because of the subject matter of the finale (which they seemed to avoid talking about as often as possible), so they needed to make sure people knew he would be on at some point.

Seriously, someone needs to give them their own show. During the famous-Coen-brothers-movie bit I laughed so loudly that I scared my cat. Scott Gimple's explanation of what was happening in the candle room just scotched my previous theory, but now I'm going to be obsessing over where they got all those damn candles.
