WHY NOT! We've got a long wait. Figured we could fill this with any news/casting/posters/trailers etc when they start to come out. There's already some stuff:

Quote

Alanna Masterson (Tara), Christian Serratos (Rosita), and Andrew J. West (Gareth) have all been promoted to series regulars for Season 5.

The article says Gareth won't be the main villain of season 5. I can't imagine what his role is gonna be really. If he's killed early on then why was he bumped to regular? Strange

Kirkman teasing 5:

Wasn't Karen promoted to regular for Season 4? Gareth might not be the villain, but could maybe a villain for the time being. I don't see the Terminus arc lasting overly long.

lol what is THIS. It's a behind the scenes picture of a scene that most definitely wasn't in the finale:

Spoiler	+
I'm ASSUMING it was a deleted scene. I see Rick/Michonne/Carl/Daryl and that looks like Terminus. And human bones? And chained up walkers. Weird

Yeah after 'A' I assumed Gareth would be the main villain of s5 (at least the first half) and that the Hunters were going to be stalking them after their inevitable escape.

But him not being the main villain is :|

I guess they have more planned for s5a. I mean in season 4a we had the flu, then the Governor. Maybe 5a will have Gareth, then the main villain. A LOT can happen in 8 episodes after all.

fuck Gareth, for real though.

You better not SCREW with him.

Oh shit. CARVER from The Wire joining the cast. That's kul, I like him

There's a lot of speculation that he'll be playing a popular character from the comics:

Spoiler	+
Father Gabriel!

Apparently there was a rumor that Katherine Heigel was joining the cast, but it was debunked. Thank god.

I decided to get my dad, who doesn't follow any series of any kind except the news and Seinfeld, into this for some random reason. Re-watched Season 1 and half of Season 2 so far.

I dunno, Season 2 isn't nearly as bad as I remember it in a marathon run. I guess that constant Sophia searching doesn't seem to drag as long when it isn't stretched out 7 weeks.

Jesus Christ, this Sunday already. I was expecting it to be the end of the month. My dad and I are up to when Morgan returns. Probably won't finish by the premier sadly but whatever.

Also unrelated to season 5, comic-y and cast spoiler-y but:

Spoiler	+
I heard Kirkman wants Negan to be played my boy Henry Rollins when he's introduced. I never wanted something to happen more than this.

That's pretty great casting
