For episode 141 of The Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle and LT and a surprise visit from Brian, talk through the Series Premier of Tales of The Walking Dead Season 1, Episode 1 titled Evie/Joe. It was written by Maya Goldsmith and= Ben Sokolowski and directed by Ron Underwood. A prepper leaves his bunker, only to be saddled with a hippie who finagles her way on the ride.

Hey Survivors! We are back to cover the new series, Tales of The Walking Dead. This new series is starting pretty decent, and with five more to go, I hope it stays interesting and fun to watch. This episode had some good things but also some, how do we say it, unrealistic apocalyptic decision-making? Or something like that. Why do these people just leave completely functioning bunkers with tons of supplies to go off into the sunset with nothing but an unloaded gun and a goat? I get that the relationship between Evie and Joe was the point, but still, they could have shown them with backpacks full of gear, which would have made the point. Anyway, still, this was a refreshing return to The Walking Dead Universe for our viewing enjoyment.

Brian was able to pop in from time to time to share his thoughts, and hopefully, he will be able to join us again. If not, he will send in voicemail or written feedback, and we will cover it when we get it. So Enjoy as Kyle, LT, and Brian discuss Tales of The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 1, Evie/Joe

00:00:00 Intro

Ratings for the premiere of Tales of the Walking Dead S1E1 Evie/Joe got a 0.09 in the 18-49 demographic, with 572,000 thousand viewers. Taking into consideration that the season finale of World Beyond got a 0.07 with 428,000 thousand viewers and the season 7 finale of Fear got a 0.11 with 710,000 thousand viewers. So right in the middle which isn't bad considering. There was no Talking Dead, so we don't know if they will come on after episode 6 airs. We will have to wait and see.

That's it for Evie/Joe. For our next episode, we'll be covering Tales of The Walking Dead S1E2 titled Blair/Gina. We'd love it if you sent in your feedback.
