On this episode 92 of The Walking Dead Talk Through, Mark and I discuss The Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 10, which is titled Omega. This was written by Channing Powell, and directed by David Boyd. Like last week, Mark loved the episode. I gave this episode an 8, which isn’t a bad rating, but I had to dig down deep to find things I liked. The story isn’t drawing me in and I found myself bored throughout the episode. I o

On this episode 59 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle, Mark and I talk through Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 8, which is titled, Is Anybody Out There? This was written by co-executive producer Michael Alaimo, and directed by Michael E. Satrazemis.

We thought, after five years, we were ready to strike out on our own, and as a result, we are leaving the Golden Spiral Media network. We would like to thank Darrell for the opportunity to podcast with GSM over the last five years, and thank him for allowing us to take our podcasts with us. Going forward, the podcasts that we do will be a part of our new network, which is called Talk Through Media, and will consist of the following podcasts:

1. The Walking Dead Talk Through and Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, hosted by Mark, Kyle (Fear only) and me;
2. The Star Trek Discovery Podcast, hosted by Ruthie and me;
3. A new podcast, The Star Trek: Picard Cast, hosted by Ruthie and me, coming soon!
4. And… more podcasts to come!

We are excited to start our new endeavor, and we hope to have everything set up by the time we return in three weeks for the FTWD mid-season premiere! If you are listening to us via our TWDTT/FTWDTT feed on whatever podcast app you choose, you should be OK going forward. When we make the change, it should be transparent, and the feed should continue to work. However, if you don't see an episode from us in about three weeks, several days after the mid-season premiere, then there might be an issue. If you listen to us via the goldenspiralmedia.com website, the episodes will no longer appear here. Just go to walkingdeadtalkthrough.com and you will be redirected to the new location from there!

Now that we have our announcement out of the way, we have to share more feedback we received for last week's episode, S5E7 Still Standing. Discussion on last week's episode starts at 34 minutes and 22 seconds into the podcast and ends at into the podcast.

It seems that most people agree that this episode was better than the last several episodes, although Kyle didn't like it as much as Mark or I did.

Wondering about the ratings for S5E8 Is Anybody Out There? Well, they were up this week! got a 0.48 in the 18-49 demographic with 1.599 million viewers, which is up from the last week's all-time low of 0.34 and 1.393 million viewers. Talking Dead, on the other hand, after weeks of not being on, came back to what might be the lowest ratings of that show. It only got a 0.07 in the 18-49, with only 373,000 viewers.

So Is Anybody Out There? We think so! We'll be busy over the next three weeks getting our podcasts set up at their new home, and we'll post a link to them here once we have everything finalized.

On this episode 58 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Brian, Kyle and Mark talk through Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 7, which is titled, Still Standing. This was written by co-producer Richard Naing, and directed by Marta Cunningham. Marta Cunningham is notable because we think she is the first director to also direct Star Trek: Discovery, which is the other show Brian podcasts about.

Before we get into this week's episode, we have to share more feedback we received for last week's episode, S5E7 The Little Prince, and Kyle tells us what he thought of the episode. Discussion on this week's episode starts at minutes and seconds into the podcast.

Most people think this episode was better than last week, but it's no masterpiece. The character moments are really good, but there are some points in this episode that are handwaved over. How did Strand and Charlie move the balloon? How did it become arranged in such a way to make a wall? How did they move the propellers? How are they continuing to put the plane together when it seems there's no one actually working on it? How did they suddenly become airplane mechanics? How we don't see June and Al repel up the mountain? It has some flaws, but if you don't nitpick too much, it's still an enjoyable story.

For the second week in a row, FTWD ratings sunk to a new low in the 18-49 demographic and ratings. S5E6 The Little Prince got a 0.34 in the 18-49 demographic with 1.393 million viewers, down from the last week's 0.42 and 1.488 million viewers. Unfortunately, this is an all-time low in ratings and viewers for the show. Again, there was no Talking Dead this week so no ratings for it, but it returns next week.

Still Standing wasn't a spectacular episode, but we liked it well enough.

On this episode 57 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Brian and Mark talk through Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 6, which is titled, The Little Prince. This was written by Mallory Westfall, and directed by Sharat Raju.

Before we get into this week's episode, we have to share more feedback we received for last week's episode, S5E5 The End of Everything. Discussion on this week's episode starts at 38 minutes and 30 seconds into the podcast.

It's rare when we like an episode more than all of our listeners, but that was true for The Little Prince this week. For me, I guess it was because our main characters continue having hope, despite insurmountable odds. That's the only thing I can think of, but I guess it was hopeful when I needed it to be.

Mark and I talk a bit about that news that was a rumor last week, that ended up being the truth. The Walking Dead comic book ended this week, and we talk a little about it, without giving away any spoilers.

This week, FTWD ratings sunk to a new low in the 18-49 demographic. S5E6 The Little Prince got a 0.42 in the 18-49 demographic with 1.488 million viewers, down from the last week's 0.46 and 1.708 million viewers. Unfortunately, this is an all-time low in ratings and viewers for the show. This is not a good trend to go. Again, there was no Talking Dead this week so no ratings for it.

The Little Prince wasn't a spectacular episode, but we loved it still, although maybe it was a small love and not a Love or a LOVE.
