    Yeah, he was saying on Talking Dead that they wanted to feature the walkers a bit more - so they did a lot of close ups as the initial reveal. The 'jaw hanging off' walker was awesome - a perfect marriage of practical and CGI effects.

    The city stuff looked really cool, I definitely got a Day of the Dead vibe from it. A few well-placed dutch angles, ruined vehicles, detritus scattered all over ... awesome. The 'fall of civilisation' vibe was strong and therefore very appropriate for the wider themes of TWD post-AOW.

    Damn straight! The KNB team continually out-do themselves. Just when you think they've played all their tricks - bam - spider walker!

    Yeah, 9 seasons now and still finding cool ways to showcase zombies.

    Only just caught up on this episode and a few things stuck out:

    The Good: Father Gabriel looks badass with one eye and a big hat. loved his "ascent of man" artwork, and the fact that Anne (jadis) picked up on it. she's still an artist at heart, and an ex teacher?

    The Bad: Having the leaders of every community, (Rick, Ezekiel, Maggie, Daryl and Oceanside whatserface (really cant remember, and not sure if she took over leadership)) all out on what is basically a supply run, seems somewhat foolish. if something unforseen happens, say an explosion, or a sudden herd of stealth zombies then there's nobody left to take over and pick up the pieces. These guys know better than to take risks like that.

    The Ugly: Spider walker was awesome, and a nice moment for Siddiq (who so far has done sod all since Carl's exit).

    Finally. RIP Gregory. you truly were ,as father Gabriel would say, "A Colossal Shit"
