Is it roughly the same as what happens in the comic books?

It literally couldn't be more different. Likely the biggest change from the comic they've ever done.

But I'll leave it at that. There is a spoiler thread here on Era but my post was mainly to warn people: you probably won't want to be spoiled so be careful the next month or so.

Funny that your mom somehow spoiled you. I can't imagine anyone's parents going beyond Facebook, let alone seeking out spoilers from a fan site.

Is it going to be something that changes the direction of the show away from where the comic went, or is it just kind of a big dumb event that won't ultimately alter the overall story?

I can't really go into much more details. But it changes the direction of a number of relationships on the show.

It's not a CONFIRMED rumor, I should say. But it's likely.

I just watched the first episode of the season. Does it get any good? Last season was awful and this first episode looks like a new rock bottom for the show. I don't even know why I gave this season a chance (or even last one).

It gets better than the premiere, which felt like utter nonsense to me. Keep in mind that we're only 3 episodes in, so it's not like anyone can make any sweeping statements about how things will go from here on out.

Another episode of go-nowhere gun fights is going to lose a lot of people, I think.

This show has become an abominable shoot bang POS that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. This season (so far & for the foreseeable future) is essentially a smorgasbord of utterly pointless gun-battles that are exactly 0% fun and 100% terrible. The story drove off a cliff post glenn headsmash but it's just sunk to all new depths of fucking what? Like I've watched close to 3 hours of people shooting at each other and it's not going any fucking where. At this point I don't even know where any of the gun battles are taking place in relation to one another or why they're taking place at all. Morgan going through the same shit character arc he's gone through 4 seasons prior or whatever is like the shitty icing on the cake. I wish I could muster up any part of myself to care about any of these characters but I just don't anymore. Morgan and literal fucking Jesus having a kung fu spar out in the forest is probably what cemented this shit for me though. At this point it's clear they have no intention whatsoever of having a grounded show but instead want to do some dumb stuff with tigers, and kung fu, and endless shooting.

Also that guy that died against the tree (dno his name lmao), I couldn't even stop myself from checking out my cellphone while they had their obviously telegraphed final words because I barely remember his face from 29329438 seasons ago. This show is a 2/10 experience.

Hammy, awkward and trashy, but better than last week anyway.

Some funny interactions and not too many speeches. Win.

I love how Daryl just cut through all the crap.

I've been hate watching this show since season 4, but at least up until season 7 it was at least stupid fun. Now it's just depressing in how bad it's written, shot, acted... I expect the downfall in audience drops to be surprising in how much quick it will be. It's just sad.

Caught up to episode 2 yesterday, and I don't recall any of the last seasons starting this bad.
Episode 1 was downright confusing, as if intentionally. 2 was just boring poor-shot action scenes and cliche dialog.
Is episode 3 any good? I might just wait for part1 of the season to end to binge all of it skipping the boring parts.

Thanks for the replies. I was already pushing it with this first episode after the awful previous season... so I'm out I guess.

Out of bullets? See, that's why you don't waste them on empty windows.
