Part II of The Walking Dead‘s 6th season is with us from mid-February.

Once again this gets the ‘Express from the US’ treatment airing just hours after its stateside screening.

Season 6 returns with the group learning that if you are among the living then you have a responsibility to do more than just survive.

Rick wars within himself and his journey will take him from a man who trusts no one and believes that he should kill before being killed, to a man who realises that the importance of holding onto the traits of what it means to be human.

1:30pm Monday February 15 on FX plus primetime replay.

    1. The frustrating thing is that they have arrived in a town where there is a hairdresser! She cut Rick’s hair, I so wish Carol and Rick had held Daryl down so she could lop his off – and yes, Carl’s as well. Daryl didn’t even take a shower when they got there! So so gross. Yep little things to worry about in a life/death show but the hair thing is becoming so distracting lol.

  2. This show is a mystery to me, firstly for it’s entertainment value showing stylised extreme graphic violence, and secondly the total lack of explanation of the lifespan of a Zombie corpse which logic says will eventually rot away into uselessness in isolation and not be able to infect anyone. I guess the computer gamers like it.

    1. The walkers can’t infect anybody in TWD canon, everybody is already infected with the virus. When humans die the virus is triggered to reanimate them.

      Walkers are just the catalyst, it could have been any disaster as the program is really about how humans survive in a dystopian world. Yes it’s violent but so are many other shows – the obvious one being GOT – and I don’t believe that the violence is what attracts the majority of viewers. People are really attached to the characters and their journeys. For TWD to have a talk show (Talking Dead) simply discussing the events of each episode shows the level of investment some of viewers.

    2. Walkers do rot away to skeletons if they don’t eat anything. They hibernate when there is nothing around to stimulate them so have longer life spans than a human (who will starve to death in around 3 weeks).

      Zombies are monsters in human that can’t be reasoned or negotiated with. But their main role is to end civilisation and reduce people to a tribal hunter-gatherer existence. It is other humans who are the main threat both as the other and from within the group. This is where most of the horror and drama lies in TWD.

    3. This is why some people just can’t watch shows like this. No point in trying to analyze it too hard. I mean, they’re zombies….. you gotta be able to suspend your disbelief.

      1. Yes, exactly! I’m more interested in how the characters deal with all the situations thrown at them and how scary it would be to live without any laws and government. I’m obsessed dystopian shows/movies/books – I think because I know I would be the first to die due my non-existent survival skills ?, I might pick up some tips lol.
