Premiere tonight from the new season! Looks like a pretty intense start, they have a sneak peek of the first 4 minutes....

This really sucks for those of us who are "out of country" and have no way to watch the fifth season. Anyone know where to stream this in Europe?

It's on FOX (or FX) worldwide the day after US. Which means today

The quality of my lilfe is about to be improved, life is not the same without TWD, Banshee and Game of Thrones.
Btw Bryan, sometimes when I forget to record, I would just download it. I pay awful money for the cable, so I guess it's alright.
...or watch it on RTL2 next year. No seriously, they are just going to start last season, same as Irish TV.
AMC has it They used to require you to sign in with your Time Warner/Cox Cable, etc. account. But no more.
Used a VPN (gasp!) and streamed the whole ad-laden episode.
Saw this topic in here and decided to give it a bump because I really love this show. Just wanted to see what you guys all think of the season so far? I'm loving the first four episodes. Even the "slower" fourth episode had me intrigued. Interesting to come across yet another group and watching how the dynamics of that group have played out so far.
Walking Dead is one of the few shows I still haven't checked yet, will do soon I suppose, but as to where in Germany you can watch all the shows you are missing, I found that there are a few sites that stream English series, in original language..
It's just a bit of a hassle, as those sites sometimes have certain episodes missing, and only have limited series.
And downloading is totally out of the question here, even with a VPN there are a few shady lawyers that have offices strictly concentrating on sending mails to people they have found using downloadprogs, services and that seem to have a larger then average data traffic...
The fines can be up to 4K for one measly mp3.. so if you are going there, with your laptop or phone, that happens to have a uTorrent like program, which tend to put themselves in the startup section after install, and automatically start running after you power it on, you could be in for a nasty surprise, or even worse, your host could get fined for your unintentional downloads, be warned!
So, these shady lawyers can peer though a VPN with enough reliability to mount a court case against an individual?
Has anyone called their bluff on this and been successfully taken to court who has used a VPN to obscure their location?
In the UK, they have gone for blocking specific sites via a court order, but they dropped the idea of restricting or cutting off the internet services to anyone caught downloading.
Even if the German lawyers have won for now, it just means another escalation of the arms race such that something newer than torrenting via VPN takes over. Torrenting itself took over from traditional P2P once the attacks were directed at their key nodes, which when taken down meant that the P2P software had no directory to refer to and thus couldn't connect. Even with torrents it's the magnet link that has taken over from the more traditional torrent file. The weak point is that there is still the need for a search service like Pirate bay, and so by blocking these sites the UK believes it can significantly reduce the extent of downloading by ensuring that the average user can't get it to work.
If the need for an external directory is removed, and searching can take place within the torrent client, then site blocking will no longer be effective.
There already have been cases where the people refused to pay, and that is when the fines exponentially increase, not only did I read a few articles and heard from some people directly involved in such a case, I even saw a few "dramatized" televised scenarios, based on real cases here..
I am not sure If people that know what they're doing with VPN's and anonymous browsing, have also been in such cases, but I am quite sure most I-net providers here are monitored by instances that are flagging any kind of p2p downloading, not sure exactly how it works, but I just said it for the people that come in with their phones, laptops and tablets, that would stay at friends places, to make sure they deactivate any downloading programs before they set their foot on German soil
Yes, that is true, but they don't go after anything other then fragments of, or complete MP.3's or other music files, video and I believe even
E-books are in the list, and I believe the identification/flagging has to do with some sort if identification of said files.
Like I said, I don't know the specifics, but if you are interested, you could look it up, I just decided to warn fellow travellers and friends to make sure to watch it, and take the simple precautionary step to shut off all download programs manually.
I just did a quick Google and here is an interesting article for you, that does touch upon some of what we just discussed:

It's a bit older, but still relevant.
But I have to hand it to the writers, they have become quite creative with the gorefest. How about when Daryl was fighting that cop in the last episode, and reached over to grab a corpse by the eye sockets and beat the cop upside the head with the detached skull? Brilliant! I wish I was a fly on the wall in the writers' room when they came up with that one....so it isn't just some grossout gorefest...

lol - yeah forgot about that part, lucky he didn't grab it by the jawbone because it was still chomping away....
One thing that I find a little unrealistic is that nobody seems really bothered by the smell. I mean maybe by now everyone's pretty used to the stench of death, but even at the beginning of the series it was hardly remarked on. If you've ever smelled that smell, you know what I'm talking about.
You've smelled that smell? Who have you murdered and left to decompose lately? Hahaha.
