Poll: US: **The Walking Dead Season 6 - Contains Spoilers - No future content to be discussed **
- Thread starter snips86x
- Start date
There are some better action sequences than S5 largely it seems to be pretty predictable and not really moving anywhere much though.
Someone mentioned the cast list and how a certain character wasn't going to appear until the last episode. This spoiled the recent episode for me as I knew the fight with the saviours wasn't going to be the last one.
did anyone think from the description given by the hill top people and the previous encounter of the saviours that it'd be a 1 episode fight?
granted referring to cast lists maybe a little bit much of a spoiler.
Nope, but it would have been nice to not know how the episode was going to end.
To clarify further, speculation based solely on what you have seen on the show is fine. Speculating or discussion based on something you know (an interview where a cast member let something slip or shared too early on facebook/you've looked up cast members on IMDB to see when they appear or leave/you've seen stills from future episodes etc) and you are then using this to give away what happens is not.

Because i (or others) click on a spoiler thinking it;s something has has happened and it turn out to be something that has been posted from a comic or news gossip..
This 100%
Not to sound stupid, but to check... an episode has aired and I want to comment on something that happened, I have to use Spoiler tags?
But then...
Does this not contradict the first line?
If it has been on the show, then it is fine to discuss without spoiler tags. However, if it is something that has not appeared on the show (for example, something in the comics), then tag it.
If the above is incorrect then I give up, because any other way is just stupid.

As Huddy said in his post above yours, Muban explained this especially succinctly:
Either way, it seems logical to err on the side of caution. In doubt? Use spoiler tags.

I don't read the comics (and am not really interested in doing so), but I have read up on what happens in them. There is not much that runs in parallel. I am happy to stick comic stuff in spoiler tags, (and will even go as far as to put an "In the comics" header first to alert someone what they are putting,) but as there is not much similarity and I can already go through many differences, such as:
In the comics:
Anyone who clicks on a "Spoiler" button about the comics and then gets offended can get stuffed as far as I am concerned, though talking about cast leaving and actual leaks is probably best kept for another thread.
That cast list thing did also part-ruined it for me.
Back to discussing TWD, I was thinking that this episode was too easy, then the ending happened.
In the comics:
Rick's hand still being attached and not lopped off by the (now dead) Governor.

It doesn't matter what you are happy to do, they make the rules. Some stuff from the comics might not end up in the show but a lot of it does, you'd need a crystal ball to know which would and wouldn't in the future.

I know they make the rules, but what are the spoiler tags for if not to warn for spoilers?
And if you don't know what is going to make it from the Comics to the TV series, that's speculation, which is allowed.

Hence why spoiler tags exist.
It's just more of the same, if you got bored there's very little that could possibly tempt you back. They find resources then manage to lose resources, they find a new group then manage to immediately make a bad impression by killing members of that new group etc.
The writing team must have CTRL+C, CTRL+V down to a fine art.
With your logic i could put next season's script in spoilers and it would be ok.

Yes, as long as it was in spoilers and you put what was in the spoiler tags it would.
Finally, looks like you're getting it.
It would seem that you are the one who doesn't get that people who watch a show would expect spoilers to be about the show. Not about a comic that tells you the probable story seasons in advance.
Not that it matters, the current rules say you can't do what you are saying is ok
