There hasn't been a single spoiler posted on this thread.

The trailer that has been playing on national media right now for a game that's now 10 years old gives way more "spoilers" than anything that has been said on this thread.


You sure about that?


Yes, I've been following this thread pretty closely and the stuff people are blowing up about is absolutely ridiculous. (I'm a non gamer)


I'm a gamer who isn't following the other thread because I've only played the first game and not the second one. So I know how Season 1 will go and there's reason I'm harping on eliminating any "guessing" about what the season holds. And I'm being as vague as I can to try to avoid pointing out the spoiler that's been posted.

So there's a spoiler. And thanks for not pointing it out.

Someone just make another thread for the cavemen/women who are champing at the bit to call anything someone says a spoiler and be done with it.
or, those who have played the game, just post in the other thread. i don't see why that's so hard. you can still read this one. post your heart out on the other thread.

i don't know if anything has been spoiled at this point, but it will eventually...and it might not even be on purpose. someone reading forgets what thread they are on and posts something .


I'll share my perspective.
There are a group of posters here, yourself included, that a lot of us gamers like conversing with who are no longer on the gamer thread because of the spoiler concern. I get that. However, me and others, would like to be able to discuss the show with some of you without being gatekept by the nancies.

I think how TC laid it out makes sense. If anyone on the other gamer thread starts guessing and posting predictions here. Flag it. That is reasonable to me. By playing the game, you forfeit the ability to predict the storyline of the show in this thread.

The first time I explained this perspective here got deleted because two active posters in this thread told me to **** off and called me a dip**** because I said "they nailed the clickers" wasn't a spoiler, and somehow they weren't banned for that. Live and let live.

I'm just impressed any of y'all can remember potential spoiler level material from a game 10 years ago

I played it once through, loved it, but that sentiment is all that I remember.

This. Heck a few of my posts at the beginning were warnings for folks to stay away from youtube and other things that could eventually lead to spoilers. I love this story and the last thing I'd want to have happen is to have it spoiled for anyone.

My comment about Ellie from episode 2 was 100% based on the show alone...that's me watching the exact same thing y'all are. I based that post only on that.

And I'll add the spoiler that was mentioned above was not posted by any of us gamers...and the person that posted it has since edited it.

I think the gamers should be commended for not bringing attention to the spoiler that was posted here. Instead, we went and discussed it on the gamer thread, because it was obvious no one caught on here and we didn't want to bring attention to it and ruin things for everyone.

Nice try, but the person has already edited the spoiler to remove it.

Look, I'm not up in arms or anything, but I fully expect some dumbass to spoil something at some point.

I'm not going to stalk the other thread to flag posts here. If you guys can keep "in line," by all means, post here. I have no way of knowing who has and hasn't played the game. I'm on here bc I stopped reading the other thread after the first episode bc I didn't want to read any spoilers. I'd never even heard of this game, but I'm liking the show and would like to see where it goes without a bunch of people constantly posting something and then bringing up the game.

Ultimately, you guys can post whatever the hell you want. I'll bail if I have to, but I honestly enjoy discourse on shows on this forum.

Just FYI, coming from a gamer, there's only been one spoiler posted. It's since been removed, and it wasn't by any of the people who caught a bunch of flack early on. Other than that one post everybody's been cool, just hyper-sensitive

If we can avoid anybody posting any more "guesses" about future episodes I think we'll be fine.

I get it. Most are being cool. And to reiterate, im not mad or anything...But the fact that a spoiler was even posted, regardless of who posted, sort of "proves" my point. There's always some dip**** who can't follow the rules, and ruins it for everyone, both "gamers" and "non gamers." I'm assuming I'm not the only one who doesn't want to have to stalk the other thread to flag crap to see who is who. We just want to post without dealing with potential spoilers.

And with that, I'll end my "complaining" on this topic and let things go back to show discussion, which is what the thread is supposed to be about.

The spoiler wasn't posted by a gamer, or someone who posts regularly on the gamer thread.

One problem with shows that are based on a widely popular title is we can't do any speculation because if it is right then you get blamed for spoiling.

I've never played the game and have a guess on a potential ending, but don't want to put it just in case it's is close to being correct and people get mad.

I don't want to read your guess on a potential ending. Please keep it to yourself. Don't care whether it ends up being what happens or it doesn't. That seems to be the overall sentiment in this thread.

We don't need guesses, period.

Can't people just enjoy the show and talk about the episodes they've seen? That is what this thread is for.

Guessing what's going to happen in movies/shows on this board has been extremely common, if not a predominant past time, in threads such as these since the beginning of TexAgs. I admit this particular situation is a tricky one, but it seems extreme to ban such talk here.

Again, if you've played the game, keep your posts to opinion of what's already aired (but NOT how it compared to the game), and don't comment on any future episodes/plot.

If you're not a gamer, and you want to speculate, simply preface your post stating as much.

If any gamer pretends to be a speculating non-gamer, they'll absolutely be found out, likely within minutes, and we'll do everything we can to ensure staff bans them accordingly.

I'm not going to read 8 pages of weirdo gamers fighting with people who want to watch this show, but this is not a good series after two episodes.

Pedro Pascal is doing a really good job but the other cast members are not good. I'll give it another two episodes but I don't care about the magical girl with fungi bite resistance.

There are some interesting aspects, namely the openers of the first two episodes. After that, it's every zombie trope on repeat. The FEDRA rule is thought provoking.

This show is on the level of "I Am Legend" bad.

I'll give you the tropes. I feel like we've gone through some of these motions so many times that I glaze over every so often, even in some of the tense scenes. That's certainly a fair critique. But to say the acting or the show itself is "bad" is just dumb. Yes, we've seen a lot of this before, but it's essentially been the Apple of zombie shows so far, doing something everyone else has already done, just better.

Of ALL the things in these two episodes, FEDRA is what made it somewhat good for you? Walking Dead had at least 5 or 6 governing groups that played a FEDRA-like role

I've never seen a zombie show have something as well built out for the infected as the Clickers were in Epi 2. That is next level anxiety-inducing tension and production that Walking Dead hardly ever reached
