No Spoilers were put in the title of this thread for any spoilers of eps that haven't aired yet. It's silly that another thread is having to be made. 23 pages later and only now is the spoiker issue being brought up.

Could the mods correct my title please to allow spoilers

But he ends up back with the car and the herd The Daryl bit seemed really daft this week, as if it was just to show him being all manly on a big bike.
Daft? It was totally pointless! Mind you - at least his bike is a proper one now - not like that stupid, chopper type bike he used to ride. Off-topic - If you want to hear a funny story about those chopper bikes and how uncomfortable and ungainly they can be - watch the Easy Rider 'Shaking the Cage' video - Peter Fonda is hilarious.

Wasnt it still a chopper type? The ones where they have to hold their hands high up in the air, thus looking like children in high chairs?

It's more a scrambler off road type, more suited to the zombie apocalypse.

How are we supposed to know what spoilers are what?

NO spoilers means NO spoilers.

It is there for a reason.

Other wise how do we know what threads are supposed to be NO spoiler threads.

But the point of a spoiler tag is so you don't spoil anything

Yes and you post those in threads that either say 'Spoilers Tagged' or have no mention of spoilers in the thread title.

No Spoilers is there so that no one posts spoilers, tagged or otherwise.

As I said before how would you know a thread was a specifically NO SPOILER thread other wise?

I really don't understand your problem here. (seems the mods didn't either)
In my opinion there can't be any spoilers because this thread is bang up to date.
Anything else from the comics, cast interviews or whatever is not a spoiler, just speculation.
It doesn't matter if that stuff is tagged or not. Others may disagree. This thread should be a free for all after the US airing. People shouldn't come in until they have seen the episode.
If you want an as-it-happens thread then that's different, but people watch the show in different ways and at different times, so it may be a bit quiet.
Even the original OP has said they don't mind spoilers, and that should be it. It's their thread after all.

We had the same issues last year with the similar thread. I woukd have thought that no spoilers on a thread about a show that airs within hours of each country woukd be pretty much easy to understand.

I don't get how it took 3 weeks for any issues to arise.

Because there was too much talk about whether Glenn was dead or not.

You shouldn't have put 'No Spoilers' in the title if you did not care.

And the issue isn't between the UK and US viewings, but about future info for both viewings.

But that's not a spoiler, it's just people discussing what they think might happen. Which is what the forums are for.

One thing I just remembered was the footage at the start of the episode, Glenn legging it through the trees. We never saw that scenario as he was with the Alexanandrians the whole time. I reckon he' s got away.


Edit: no scratch that, I just watched it again. He was with Rick as the horn was going off.

It's a modified Honda CB750 Nighthawk.

I don't see what was spoiler on this thread, is saying I think Glenn is alive a spoiler or speculation?

The thread was fine before

I agree that the thread was fine before. As long as the 'spoilers' are in tags and nobody gives away anything they shouldn't? The OP's suggestion of a name change sounds good to me! Otherwise I will stick with the other thread.

How is someone posting a picture (going back a few seasons for an example that happened) of Sophia as a Walker before it was revealed in the show just speculation?

If I now posted a link to a similar picture of Glenn would that be a Spoiler or just speculation?

Surely discussing the events of a show 4 days after is it aired is fair game. If you've not had a chance to watch it yet, then don't read a thread about the show you are watching.

To me, spoilers means things that haven't been aired yet usually from someone watching US pace. Once the show is aired UK, then discussing anything that happened it in, like Glenn apparently getting his guts torn out, should be allowable.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/de...nglish/spoiler
Spoiler- 'A description of an important plot development in a television show, film, or book which if previously known may reduce surprise or suspense for a first-time viewer or reader.'

Until that scene depicted in your hypothetical picture of Glenn occurs in an actual episode, it is just speculation. If that picture was screen grabbed from an episode that aired in the US, and was posted here before that episode aired in the UK, it would be a spoiler. But as I keep saying that can't happen in this thread because it includes both US and UK airings. These take place less than 24hrs apart. This thread is bang up to date. The accepted wisdom in this thread (as it was last season) is that once it airs in the US, anything goes.

Can we speculate freely then?

I think the woman in the armoury that Carol told to wait at the door and shoot at anyone going through is going to shoot someone in whichever episode they go back to Alexandria in.

And Glenn's going to get out of that somehow. Doubt he'll survive long term though.

I'm interested to see what Morgan's been up to, how bad he's behaved that he's now such a saint as a result, and....most of all....just who he's met before Alexandria.

And of course how Rick gets out of that as he surely will. I think he'll need an assist.

Oh...and Enid's fate, and Judith's whereabouts.

Think that covers it. Is this stuff okay or not?

So if someone leaked the next 4 episodes (as happened with the first 4 episodes of the last series of Doctor Who) before they had aired anywhere you'd class any links to or discussion about their content as speculation and not spoilers?

Why does a picture of Glenn's "death" from the last episode posted in this thread 24 hours before the episode aired in the U.S not count as a Spoiler then?
