The Walking Dead

[Pamela]

Okay but!

Maybe he survives. There is quite the controversy.

[Clodfobble]

Haven't seen the episode; I watch when they stream a year later. But they have "killed" SO many characters then revealed later they were alive. I am confident in saying that if you didn't see his throat ripped out at length from multiple angles, the dude is alive.

[DanaC]

Good point ;p

[fargon]

Keryx found some Walking Dead comic books at the library book sale. I guess it's every where.

[Aliantha]

Pretty sure he's dead. They showed walkers pulling his guts out, but I guess maybe the other guy might have been on top of him and Glenn will live because they don't realise he's there. That's my only hope.

[DanaC]

Ffs - stop with the details!!

[Aliantha]

I thought it had already Bern spoiled? I was just responding to clod. Calm down.

[DanaC]

You gave plot details - anything could have happened to Glen - all I knew was that apparently Glen appears to have died, but may not have. Now I have more details of that.

Please use spoiler tags for details of the major plot. I don't need to calm down - I'm not enraged. I was expressing mild frustration that I now have more spoilery details for this episode.

[Sundae]

He does die in the comics, it's true.
But I have no idea how true the series has been to the comics, aside from the first two graphic novels that Dana lent me - where there were small differences. And a much later one I found in the library, but couldn't take out at the time as I had a fine on my card, but it was further on than I had watched at the time, so I was already warning myself in my head about maybe spoilers.

Been staying off the internet re series six for this reason. Even though I am the sort of person who opens Christmas presents early, birthday cards the day they arrive and snoops in people's bathroom cupboards. Usually everyone here is very good about spoilers, but a couple of slip-ups do not a flame war make.

I'm more upset at the idea Glenn is dead than the fact I read it here.
It was so good to see a Korean (or any other pan-Asian) character in a leading role where their race/ heritage forms absolutely no part of the storyline.

I don't look at this thread until I've seen the latest ep because I would expect there to be spoilers. What's the point of having the thread if you can't talk about the latest ep? Download it all free from cokeandpopcorn.ch .

Anyway, I guess I'll just fuck off again then.

[Sundae]

Don't fuck off you silly fucker.
We still love you and your hair completely.

[glatt]

Seems to me that after an episode has aired, spoiler alerts need not be given. If you read a thread about a show, you can expect discussion to cover what has occurred on that show in the past.

[Sundae]

Please remember that films and TV series take longer to reach us here though.
And it's not just the Brits - some people don't have access to the right channel, or have work/ family commitments on the date of airing.

We've discussed this before (Game of Thrones?)
I think there was a suggestion that we had an open thread and a no spoiler thread and then everyone realised that was just silly.
I think that was here, anyway.

I guess I can stay out of this thread. But I will continue to be careful about major shocks and plot points of things I do get to watch, and books, and anything that may change someone else's experience when watching or viewing if they knew about it in advance. Because although I like to know how other people think and feel about things, I don't need to know exactly what caused it.

And again, that is not a criticism of anyone on the Cellar. It's my POV.

[glatt]

Good point. I guess if we just discuss generalities and not specific plot points.

I dunno, media consumption is so weird now anyway. I'm like Clod. I'm years behind everyone else in the Walking Dead, so I don't care about spoilers here because I'll probably forget by the time I get around to that episode. I'll often wait for a show to be in its final season on the air before I start streaming it. That way, I can watch at my own pace and I'm not waiting for the next episode.

[DanaC]

I generally try to put spoilers in white text, or give a spoiler warning and leave a gap. Not for incidental stuff, but for major plot points. It isn't that plots can't be discussed - it's just nice to be able to have a discussion with different people all at different stages of watching without that spoiling it for those of us who are a little behind.

I may be 1 or 2 episodes behind and wanting to post about how awesome episode 2 was.

Don't take this stuff as more serious than it is Ali. 'ffs' and other expletives are just how I communicate, it doesn't indicate any real anger. I'm rarely more than mildly aggravated by a spoiler and then rarely for more than a few seconds.
