Always love Survivor but it's hard this year watching the Australian one, then the US one. I was watching the Aussie one thinking "didn't someone find the idol?, When are they going to play it" then realised that was on the US one. My poor brain can't cope with keeping them separate!

Ha yeah I get that!

Be interesting to see just how far David gets.

That Aussie challenge yesterday looked like fun.

I haven't recovered from last night's TWD. That was one of the most brutal 45 minutes of TV I've ever watched.

Negan makes The Governor look like a great guy. That was one of the best TWD episodes in years.

Yeah not sold on it. I sat there in shock. I thought it was over the top, out of the ball park. And yes I know it's a zombie show!

I just always felt it was groups of people trying to survive against all odds. But it was the visuals that got me, had this discussion with my daughter, who has read all the books too, and says it was necessary! I reckon my imagination would have been enough. She says what about when it's walkers? Fair point, but, well, they are dead at least once first!

Though I did like the reaction of a certain farm girl! Looking forward to next weeks! Cheers

Anybody bothered torrenting the first series of "The Exorcist" yet?
About 5 episodes in so far, 42 minutes each. Enjoying it.

I'm also just about through both series of "Aquarius", about the origins of the Manson cult, set in the late 60s. Worth a look too.

Never got past the first episode, but I saw something online about a baseball bat called Lucille. I'm gonna make one, I like.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Very well played I thought!

I'm liking this season very muchly! It's very different

Good how they make 2 villains human, I mean there is something about Negan, where as the governor had no redeeming features. Ok so Negans is that he's kinda cute!

There is nothing redeeming about Negan. Nothing.

Although I did watch PS. I Love You for about the 15th time on the weekend and wondered how such a beautiful, sweet man could become so repulsive.

Dwight on the other hand definitely showed more humanity. Although I don't understand why he just didn't shoot his mate in the head and end it all, rather than bring him back to the fence. I want to like him, but I'm not there yet.

Fear of Negan I think. That bowing thing is really creepy!

I'm hoping he gets Daryl out of there. Darryl's not actually in the comics so anything could happen.

Watched episode 1 last night, and found it engaging enough.

Will cram the next 5 episodes in shortly...
