I have watched 3x01. CGI London LOL -


red bus - check
black taxi - check
red telephone box - check
SOD OFF sign - check


Its so token British it made me laugh.


Then you had Stephan Merchant as 'Julian' shame he didn't last long. Another character killed by association with our regulars.


Now they are in Spain with more nutters it seems with bone heads.


It wasn't a great episode they really are running out of ideas. Will carry on watching for now


5/10

I have just arrived back from holiday, I visited Mont Saint Michael in France which was the main base in Season 2 of Darryl Dixon. Whilst everyone else was more interested in the history I kept thinking oh thats where Daryl went, thats where Darryl was imprisoned LOL!


I haven't started season 3 yet but I did also visit Vigo, Santendar, La Coruna and Gijon in northern Spain. Anyone know if Daryl was filmed in these places?
I'm so jealous- sounds like a great trip!
From Google AI:
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 is set primarily in Spain, with specific locations including Madrid, Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia, and Valencia. The season begins with a brief stop in a CGI-enhanced London, England, but the main setting shifts to Spain after a shipwreck. Key filming locations in Spain include the historic city of Belchite, Sepúlveda (for the village of Solaz del Mar), and areas used for spaghetti westerns, such as the Tabernas Desert.

I finally watched the 1st episode - Daryl & Carol are always so good on the screen together.  I felt they could have leaned more into Julian's "only human left theme" in contrast to them.  Daryl & Carol have always had people but their instinct is often flight, withdraw or disappear. Survival = running.  Julian was the opposite.  Alone for so long, his whole motivation was connection.  Survival = reaching out.  What is the correct balance between those two things?  A line from Julian saying "I'd rather die reaching out to people than live running away from them" Only to have Julian die & Carol disappear would have tied things up neatly.  Maybe it's too on the nose, idk. 

A ruined London was pretty cool/awful to see.

I thought it was excellent. I did not like the end. I screamed when Daryl went back to the shack "CAROL BETTER NOT BE GONE!!!"  But, of course, she was.. as I knew she would be. It is predictable, but so good to see. I will never be satisfied until they are back on US soil.

I enjoyed it too.  It was very predictable, but it was still fun.  Enjoyed Stephen Merchant popping up, but wish he had stayed on longer.

I thought it was good too. It was like hooking up with a couple of old friends after not seeing them for awhile. Can't wait to see more of old Espana.


I really hope we get to see just how multicultural (and multilingual) Spain is.  From Galicia in the Northwest where they are now, an ancient Celtic area, to the far South in Cadiz, which goes back to the Phoenicians and the Greeks.  And the central area, of course (looks like we are going to see Segovia with its Alcazar (palace) and (iirc) Roman aqueduct (that would be a great way for a small city to survive and maybe even thrive post ZA), and down into Seville in the south with its romantic, early 20th century architecture and vibe (it's where the wealthy had their winter homes).  So gorgeous.

I watched. I came here for the chat, but it wasn't open and no one was here. I thought it was okay. It was obviously a set up episode. I just thought that it was oh so predictable. Of course, that guy was going to die, they weren't getting home, and Carol was going to be gone when Daryl got back.

Did anyone watch tonight?  I thought it was good.  Once again, good visuals, and I am curious where they are going with the Galicia/ Costa de Muerte aspect of the story.  It looks from the preview like they are going to be traveling through a lot of Spain (much as they did in the France version, where we got to see a lot of post-ZA France), so this should be really interesting, to see the different regions and cultures of Spain.
