Wow, that actually makes it look like it could be an awesome season. I don't remember if previews for previous seasons seemed as good.

Re: The Walking Dead -- Season 6 News, Rumors, Castings
Well hopefully s6 can pick up and improve the show but I'm doubtful. The series has been pretty much going downhill since s3 imo. I feel the zombies should play a bigger role and I also think not having a Shane-type character around in the group has really made things less interesting in that regard. We're at the point where the characters are like been there done that and nothing much seems to faze them or give them much threat anymore and we all know which characters won't be dying off due to fandom. Daryl, Rick, Carl, etc.. are here to stay so anything resembling danger to them or the possibility of them dying is waned.
I'm curious as to how the spin-off will fare.

Didn't notice the trailer earlier, lol.
Seems s6 is mostly going to be about Rick taking control and pushing everyone to the breaking point where they end up turning on him and eventually even the rest of the gang even though it seems they start siding with the community at one point, I guess in the end they back Rick as usual. Ricks always been the type to either make everyone follow him or die. There never seems to be a 3rd option. I'm guessing by the end of s6 we'll be seeing the end of this community and the gang packing up again in search of another 'home' because it gets over-ran with zombies or destroyed because of the bickering of the two groups.

Looks like Garret Dillahunt has been cast...
Wonder who he could be playing...

If Dillahunt is playing who we think he is, this is some knock it out of the park casting. My God.

Matt Dillon would have been an interesting choice, but I don't know if he's physically intimidating enough.
And, damn, the entertainment press has really been dropping spoilers, haven't they? Between this and Game of Thrones, they've been letting a lot of stuff fly lately.

What perfect casting in Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I am very excited. Props to thiem for keeping it quiet, as in all the million rumors I read about that casting, he was not mentionned once.

What happened to Dillahunt? Based on what I saw on Extant, I don't think Morgan is a better option at all.

Maybe it was misdirection, or maybe he'll be playing another character. I hope the show has a Dwight.

Not hating on Morgan but man, Dillahunt is easily one, if not the best character actor of the last 10+ years. Personally I think he is on the same level as Phillip Seymour Hoffman and very few actors do evil as consistently as Dillahunt.

Not sure how I feel about JDM as *****. I have a suspicion that it' going to be difficult to not see The Comedian when he's on screen.

I will not be able to forget the total pussy he played on Extant. Should have bailed on that show after the pilot and not have JDM ruined for life.
