Coleman seemed cagey with his answers. I mean he seemed charming, but like he didn't want to fess up to any motivation about why Tyrese really doesn't want to kill people. Which makes me wonder if there is some reason yet to be explained on the show.... Slash next time?!

Muffyn October 20, 2014 Share October 20, 2014 Chad Coleman was terrific - my favorite part was when he essentially told people to eat his ass. I love your succinct way of putting that. I also loved when Chris told Chad he could carry him around. I tend to think of Chris as pocket-sized. I could see Chad throwing him over his shoulder or cradling him like a baby. Matt Jones was little slow on the uptake if he didn't know they were cannibals after the premiere. Um, yeah. Seriously, he didn't know until they ate Bob's leg?

lulee October 20, 2014 Share October 20, 2014 I miss the past seasons where the audience, guests and Chris actually talked about theories and questions the viewers want to know about. Obviously Chad couldn't give spoilers, but in the past the other guests and Chris and callers/audience would venture opinions. No one asked whether Bob was bit or why else he could be crying or spent any time on wondering who/what Father Gabriel was. Instead we get a lot of useful polls and questions about who would be eaten first, Walter White etc.yes, it felt very meandering. I couldn't tell if they were avoiding the hypothesizing or if they were so caught up in the silly polls that they didn't get to it. Why can't the polls be more plot based rather than fashion accessory or whatever?

ottoDbusdriver October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 (edited) It's good to see that Talking Dead is doing so well in the ratings at the 10pm timeslot -- more viewers than Revenge on ABC, better 18-49 rating than CSI on CBS. It doesn't hurt that it's lead-in has close to the same number of viewers as football on NBC. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/10/21/sunday-cable-ratings-the-walking-dead-tops-night-talking-dead-the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-nfl-countdown-nascar-coverage-more/317391/ I wish they would go back to the old Subway buzz with production notes about the episode -- that's way more interesting than tweets from fans. I also wish they would go back to having 3 people on the couch not related to the show -- it sucks when the cast member can't say anything and you can tell when they are dodging questions with filler. I love it when you get two different celebrity fans of the show debating their own theories about the show. Last season Chris Jericho and Yvette Nicole Brown were really good. And particularly enjoy it when Greg Nicotero is on -- while he directs frequently, I'm more interested when he describes the creativity behind the SFX and how they get certain shots.

The problem with celebrities not related to the show is they often end up with people that aren't into the show enough to debate it or spin theories. With current cast members they should just stop asking they questions that they know can't be answered and find interesting stuff that the actor doesn't have to hedge about. We debate enough stuff in this in prior episodes that isn't speculation that it can be done. I think it would be fun to do a couple episodes that take the Talking Dead literally. Go grab cast members from prior seasons that got killed off and have them be all the guests.

Uncle Benzene October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Tough crowd! I thought both Slash and MLR were really good guests. Yes, MLR is a comedian, but if she had "been funny" it would have been JB Smoove level "bogarting the show" and everybody HATED JB Smoove on TD for precisely that reason (and with good reason.) MLR wasn't there to perform, she was there to discuss. And I think she was conscious of being somewhat restrained rather than... well... going all JB Smoove with it. I also disagree with the assertions that she didn't know what she was talking about and obviously doesn't watch the show. All because she said the Beth scene might be a flashback? Flashbacks don't have to be pre-ZA or whatever length of time people are assuming MLR (ignorantly!!!) meant. Next week's episode: 10 seconds of Daryl saying "Come on out..." followed by "24 hours earlier" and Beth's eyes opening in her hospital room. Voila! Flashback! As for Slash, I agree that he would have liked to have said more, but was merely being polite and not trying to talk over MLR and AJW and Hardwick, who were constantly talking. Every time Hardwick actually directed a question specifically to Slash, he was ready for it and (more or less) had quality input. But on those occasions, it seemed like Hardwick was expecting just a couple sentences and quickly moved on, and Slash didn't push it or try to take more than the flow of the show offered him. I respect and appreciate that. Nothing worse than everybody trying to squeeze in as many of their own words as they can, even if it means rudely refusing to shut the hell up and talking over others instead. I was actually quite impressed that (given that he's a rock star who has the look and the persona/mystique he has) he was so damn polite, attentive and into it as he seemed to be. I don't think I've EVER seen Slash smile so much, let alone actually giggle once or twice. I'd have thought that he'd have come off "too cool for school" (or anything else) but surprisingly I thought he was the exact opposite of that. Seemed to me he was legitimately geeking out, he just did it quietly and politely while deferring to the others on the set. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2029-talking-dead-where-chris-hardwick-got-his-groove-back/page/3/#findComment-508061
indeed October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Chris did kind of annoy me one time. He asks, "And does anyone remember from the first episode when Rick tells Gareth he's going to kill him with a machete?" Really Chris? Does anyone remember? I guess he spelled it out for the girl from 24.He did that to set up showing the prop on the coffee table, so I didn't have a problem with that. Sometimes as host he has to state some obvious or lame things to cover everything he has to get in.I really think that quiz segment takes way too long, especially the final tallying up of the points for the winner. I like the questions, but all of the other stuff...it's change the channel time fodder. MLR said some silly things (really, you've been away from 24 that long not to get how Jack Bauer would react when asked?), but at least she seemed to know what she said was silly or bombed. She wasn't that bad, but maybe three people on the couch are way too much--especially when at least one is an actor from the show. Chris did take the effort to make sure Slash was included by directing questions at him; he just seemed very laid back. And honestly, the episode was mostly about AJW, which makes sense. It should be interesting next week. EK may have to put up a bit of a fight to get focus with John Barrowman and Ana Gasteyer both on the couch...and interacting with CH.

kikismom October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 (edited) I'll agree that Slash surprised me with his demeanor. But, MLR? The evidence for me is when Chris asked her what Jack Bauer would do to the Termites and she seemed like she didn't know who he was talking about...then he supplies her with an answer Like, (COUGH COUGH) he'd beat them up get them in a headlock? Her response---which I found unbelievable---was that she hadn't been on "that show" (24) in a while. HUH? I didn't start watching 24 till this year...but I couldn't avoid knowing who Jack Bauer was and how he handled any problem. Maybe she was loaded.

Uncle Benzene October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 In my opinion, she was just deflecting/evading/blowing the question off. It was a stupid, off-topic question. It didn't have a damn thing to to with TWD, it was about her and a completely different show she used to be on. Hell, just in general, I'm sure MLR has had quite enough of talking about Jack Bauer at this point. People still probably address her as "Chloe" on a daily basis, which is probably annoying as hell. I'm sure Slash would probably have had a similarly dismissive response to a question about how Axl Rose would get along in the ZA. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2029-talking-dead-where-chris-hardwick-got-his-groove-back/page/3/#findComment-508240
