Artsda February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Here's the announcement. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/25/walking-dead-90-minute-season-finale-march-29 The Walking Dead’s season five finale will be an extended 90-minute episode airing March 29 at 9 p.m., AMC announced Wednesday. In the finale, Daryl finds himself in trouble while out on a run. Meanwhile, in Alexandria, Rick and his group continue to feel like outsiders as danger lurks near the gates.

kikismom February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Thank you for the announcement; I should probably take the thoughts going through my head to Watch Duty Spoilers or Spec without Spoilers. 2 Link to comment
AngelaHunter February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 season five finale will be an extended 90-minute episode airing March 29 at 9 p.m., Wow. Maybe for once we'll get 60 minutes, once the bombardment of repulsive commercials are taken out. 2 Link to comment
Janimo February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 Season finale March 29?? Already??? Dang it, that seems like too soon......sigh........Season six is gonna take forever to get here...I guess that's what I get 'cause I only started watching TWD during the season 1-4 marathon last Fourth of July.. 1 Link to comment

Tovah Feldshuh) speaks! BY DALTON ROSS • Posted February 28 2015 — 2:20 PM EST http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/28/meet-deanna-walking-dead-leader-alexandria-aka-tovah-feldshuh-speaks 'Walking Dead': Meet the Queen of Alexandria 7:00 PM PST 3/1/2015 by Lesley Goldberg http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/walking-dead-who-is-deanna-778486 I really liked this, from the Entertainment Weekly Q&A with Tovah Feldshuh by Dalton Ross: As you said, it’s an integration episode with Rick’s group integrating into Alexandria, but it’s that way with the cast as well because its not just you—there are a lot of new cast members coming in to work with other people that have been around a while. That’s an interesting dynamic as well in terms of how you all were probably feeling around each other on set as well. We were, but this is not a set of suspicion. I think that Andy [Lincoln] and Scott Gimple and Greg Nicotero laid the tracks for the vibe of The Walking Dead and it is the warmest, most optimistic loving set I think I’ve ever been on. They just are incredibly encouraging and have that quiet confidence that they’ll be able to meet the challenges that are coming toward them. They’re actually humble in those challenges. 1 Link to comment

Pete Martell March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 (edited) I knew the ratings were going to likely increase from last week, due to no Oscars, but all the homophobes out there whining about the show being ruined and no longer being acceptable make me even happier at this jump.

Ocean Chick March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 I'm sure the EK nomination was partly a bone tossed to her due to her being off the show now. It really can't have been because she's a better actor than Danai or Lauren. But they've changed the voting for these awards this year. If anyone is willing to fork over $40, they can vote for their favorites. So if EK has enough fans, they can buy her a win. Sad, but true. 5 Link to comment
GreyBunny March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 (edited) It's a real shame she got nominated for an award she doesn't deserve; it tarnishes the award for the other nominees and winners. There were far better supporting actresses on that show and other shows that got overlooked and EK stole one of their spots. Edited March 7, 2015 by GreyBunny 2 Link to comment

Oh well. http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/captain-america-the-walking-dead-lead-2015-saturn-awards-nominations/2 Danai hasn't had anything good to sink her teeth into this season...She's been background pretty much, along with so many others. Maybe she'll get her chance the rest of the back half. So far though she hasn't had much except to be sunshiney Michonne, which is just weird...lol Link to comment
Pete Martell March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 I think she's had quite a bit to do in the last 3-4 episodes. I agree she didn't in the first half, but then neither did Norman until that one episode with Carol. I guess he's such a star he gets nominations no matter what... I also think Melissa deserved lead actress, but my years of following the wretched Daytime Emmys tell me why that didn't happen. 2 Link to comment

I also think Melissa deserved lead actress, but my years of following the wretched Daytime Emmys tell me why that didn't happen. I don't think nominations were made on the back half, and let's face it, Michonne was a over qualified babysitter the first half. Daryl had a couple - first trying to get through to Carol and then his quest to rescue Beth. I don't think there is some major conspiracy out there to rob Danai of an award. She didn't do anything to get nominated for one. Now look at her total work in TWD and the only one that exceeds her in my opinion is Melissa who is just off the charts incredible on this show.

Pete Martell March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 I never said there was a conspiracy, I just wish she'd been nominated. If not this year then last season, where she did have more to do. There are usually just a few actors who tend to get nominated. I don't really think Norman had enough to get a nomination, but YMMV. Link to comment

kj4ever March 7, 2015 Share March 7, 2015 (edited) But did she mean 30 before CDB arrived or after? I'm thinking before, and with what we've seen so far I hope they have a bunch of bad asses hiding somewhere... We've had: 2 idiot jerks 2 teenage boys 2 elderly 1 teenage girl (who could probably take all of them) 1 congresswoman 1 congresswoman's hubby (assuming he is alive...She said "My husband IS a professor of architecture") 1 hair stylist 1 fluffy gun collector 1 A-hole hubby 2 recruiters 1 dog walker That's 15 peeps right there, and aside from Enid, Aaron, and Erik, I don't think any of them have a clue. I'm assuming a bunch more are kids since they have two sessions of school. Edited March 7, 2015 by kj4ever 2 Link to comment

Ahh that's right....I didn't put the doc in because we haven't seen him yet. So we have: 2 idiot jerks (Aiden and ?) 2 teenage boys (Ron and Mike) 2 elderly (The Millers?) 1 teenage girl (Enid) 1 congresswoman (Deanna) 1 congresswoman's hubby (assuming he is alive...She said "My husband IS a professor of architecture") 1 hair stylist 1 fluffy gun collector 1 A-hole hubby 2 recruiters 1 dog walker 1 young boy (Sam) So we are up to 16 + a doc we haven't seen. Deanna said her "sons" helped the Dad put up the first walls. Don't know how many there are or how many are alive. I hope they aren't all douchebags. They better have some people with some skills in the ones that are left! Edited March 8, 2015 by kj4ever 1 Link to comment
editorgrrl March 8, 2015 Share March 8, 2015 (edited) I think the other idiot was Nicholas Yep. The "fluffy gun collector" is OIivia. The surgeon is Pete. The recruiters are Aaron & Eric. Edited to add that Jessie's husband turned out to be Dr. Pete, so that throws off the count a little. Their sons are Ron and Sam. (The other teenage boy is Nicholas' son, Mikey.) Deanna Monroe's husband is Reg, and it turns out they have two sons: Aiden and Spencer. Carol swapped dessert recipes with three women. Tobin & a redshirt were at the armory. There were plenty of Alexandrians at the mixer, including Mrs. Neudermyer and the woman who wants to cook for Sasha. Edited March 13, 2015 by editorgrrl 1 Link to comment

Nashville March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 Don't worry. There's always a story about Glenn dying. Ever since season 2, I believe. True dat. Plus, Kirkman has said more than once in interviews he feels the single biggest mistake he's made to date in the graphic novel series was killing off Glenn WAY too early - so I doubt he's in a rush to replicate that mistake on the TV series. 4 Link to comment
editorgrrl March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! There is a story on the Yahoo homepage that suggests Glenn is going to die at the end of this season. I repeat, NOOOOOOOO! Here's the story: 'The Walking Dead': Is Glenn a Goner? Here's Why We're a Little Worried It's speculation (aka clickbait), not a spoiler. Their theory is based on: What happens in the comic. Greg Nicotero said he "get chills" when he watches the season finale. Norman Reedus said viewers should “bring your Kleenex, and you’ll be screaming at your television” during the season finale. At NY Comic Con last year, Melissa McBride said, "It’s something I’m so proud of for [Carol]. It’s been something I never saw coming, and if I keep going, I’ll cry.” Andrew Lincoln said Steven Yeun is the “hero” of Season 5B. Seriously?! I haven't read the comic, but I thought stuff usually gets mashed up/remixed for the TV show. (For example, TV Bob got comic Dale's death.) And that MMB quote is about Carol. She was probably talking about the scene with Sam. Don't get me started on TPTB & Norman Reedus talking about how "shocking" everything is. 4 Link to comment
Bongo Fury March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 Don't get me started on TPTB & Norman Reedus talking about how "shocking" everything is. They can call it promotions, or hyping the show, teasers, but the bottom line is that it is propaganda. The only reason they are doing it is to make you more likely to watch the show. So if you believe ANYTHING said by someone associated with the show, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. 3 Link to comment

Effectively it can be propaganda. But it's also just natural for people to be excited in the projects that they are personally involved in. So may just be that as well. Either way it can't be trusted as objective input. 3 Link to comment
