Caught up today on the first 2 episodes. Aside for the usual things that don’t make sense like the survivor not telling the boss about Daryl when he sees him at the dinner, not bad so far.


Knowing season 4 has been reportedly approved it gives them the ability to not have to rap up this year.


Just glad to see a few others are watching and are here discussing it.


Hope everyone is well!

I said this to my husband and he said "that was a motor boat, this is a sail boat, completely different".  I'm like - Ok, Captain Ahab, calm down before you harpoon the couch.


As someone used to sail, ITA with your husband. Sailing is nothing like driving a motor boat. I love sailing and miss the hell out of it. There is nothing like cutting through the water on a perfect day with the wind behind your back, but it is insanely dangerous even for experienced sailors. Getting hit by the boom like Julian did, happens all the time, especially with inexperienced sailors. To sail across the Atlantic with little experience without a GPS, weather reports, etc. is basically "dead man walking."

I'm pretty sure Carol does know how to sail.  She spent a whole lot of time sailing (I think the group she was with were fishermen or something) between seasons of the mothership show, IIRC.  Now, sailing off the SE coast of the US (not sure how far they went) and sailing across the North Atlantic are entirely different things.

I really enjoyed episode 2. The young lovers running away and their fear of being torn apart was moving. The whole tense dynamic of that community felt realist. It felt like they were really trying to do the best they could to survive. Giving up one young girl didn't feel like a huge price to pay for safety or resources even if they broke the hearts of their parents. I get that. It isn't like Negan trying humiliate and brutally oppress them, but it is insidious, destroying their sense of community as it tries to maintain the façade of happiness.. I was surprised uncle was smiling so hard with no fear when he opened the ribbon, then when his man took the ribbons off the pigs, I began suspect that the "lottery" was rigged.

Daryl trying to stop Carol from speaking her mind at the meal was hilarious. He clearly wants to stay out of the drama. Just leave and fix the boat. Although I don't know how he and Carol who don't know how to sail could possibly make their way back to the U.S. alive. I hope Daryl threw the bodies of all those men into the cage with the walkers.

I have never been to Spain. I enjoyed the scenery. It is beautiful.

I'm loving it so far. DD beats Dead City hands down. It somehow, even being across the ocean, has the old TWD feel to it. I am so happy Carol was not taken!
I laughed so much watching Daryl trying to prevent Carol from speaking out about the girls. And she was very sternly put in her place by the old woman. I hope they can leave there without destroying everything.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Loved Episode 3, even though, let's face it, that was not a town in Galicia.  Galicia is green, wet, cold (even in summer).  I know the production is going for a Spaghetti Western look, and that they filmed outside Segovia (in Central Spain), but it's like shooting in Arizona and pretending it's Ireland because you want the whole thing to have a "Cowboy" look.  It just makes no sense.  Anyhow . . .
They actually DID film in Galicia, as well as the Aragón, Catalonia and Valencia regions.  https://www.amcnetworks.com/press-releases/the-walking-dead-daryl-dixon-season-3-begins-production-in-spain

So, did they spend all that time filming there only to put on a yellow filter post production?  That's crazy.

This episode really highlighted Daryl & Carol's differences when it comes to their shared values of protecting the vulnerable from abuse.  Carol is more uncompromising when it comes to protecting the innocent. She will destabilize everything if she has to. She acts from her trauma. Daryl is a bit more pragmatic, he weighs the risk.  Maybe the line-up situation has him thinking: "if we stop this, do we doom everyone else?"


I think that Carol has opened her heart since reaching some kind of peace over Sophia. The way she was looking with warmth at the two young lovers, while Daryl was "whatever." LOL! I prefer this version of Carol. She seems more human if though a bit more reckless. Daryl, on the other hand, just seems over it all. He just wants to go home.

I liked it.  I do wish we'd start moving from "this is what we have to do to survive" themes to "this is how we rebuild society" themes but I don't know if we'll ever see that.


I was thinking the same, but then I realized that is a fantasy. No matter how hard we try to build up our community and do good, there are always monsters who want to burn it all down. Look at the world we are currently living in...

I didn't see your post so I didn't come yesterday. I will next week. Hopefully,  others will also. Thanks. 🙂
When I logged into chat, @hoogie was the only one there and he was literally talking to himself.   :D  I was on my phone and it kept logging me out of chat, sorry if I disappeared mid-convo hoogs!

I didn't even catch that about the pigs, that seems very feasible! 

Spain does look gorgeous.  I love the different color palettes they use in this series.
