Television The Walking Dead

A nothing episode apart from the last 30 seconds. I didn't think much of last weeks episode either but many on here seemed to have enjoyed it. I'm assuming they've ditched the hospital + the city storyline with the doctor & coppers that were there and have decided to go their separate ways again. The guy with 'good news' will obviously be the bearer of the bad news for this gullible lot.. i.e governor, terminus, Eugene.. they'll find sanctuary again, feck it up again.. big finale and move on again. Rinse + repeat.

Was it difficult getting a job on TWD writing team?
 
So, that cleanshaven guy at the end with the clean shirt, jacket, bag. And clean supply of bottled water on the road.

Have the writers gone fully loopy and decided to give us Walking Dead meets Lost (purgatory)? Or is he supposed to be an angel (toy started working) in which case I'm sure Supernatural is on tonight - not Monday nights. Hope Sam and Dean cross over shows and whoop his ass. :)

One of the latina girls (not lara croft) has massive udder... totally wasted under black clothing though. They should show more of her and less of phat ass Maggie. That would make me happier.

edit. another shit episode... :lol:

edit2. Carl has definitely outgrown his character... no wonder he barely appears on screen any more. Why not just kill him?

Maggie is nice. Just watched it now. Am amazed no-one is querying the magical thunderstorm that flattened all the trees, impaling the zombies.
As for those crying racism, there are multiple black (and Latino) characters. It's meant to be a random cross-section of society not Dawn of the Cosby Show.

This. I mean what the? It just happened to clear out/impale all those zombies with trees, yet the barn was completely unaffected? Not buying it!

Am I reading too much into the priest putting his dog collar into the fire? Seems like it is going messianic Christian on us.
 
Felt like a mid-season filler episode, then I realised technically it is with the split series.

Morgan needs to show up already.
 
Been a fan since the beginning.

But this is some of the worst writing I've ever seen on screen.

"We're gonna make it"
"We're gonna live"
"We're gonna make it and live"
"I don't know if I can make it"
"I don't know if I want to live"

The writers can't do dialogue. Can't do character development.

I'll give it to the end of the season. Just annoyed that it's actually not going anywhere or developing characters.

Where is the conflict within the group?
Someone is sleeping with someone's partner. Someone killed someone. Bad seed of the group.

Where is the dramatic irony? Somebody knows something that nobody else in the group does, that we the audience are clued into.

Where are the stakes? The goals?

It's like they've forgotten the fundamentals of screenwriting and just tried to bore us to death.
 
:lol: That would be... erm... something.

They should just introduce a character that cant be detected by walkers. Or just do what they did in the first season which they all forget (even though it was Glen and Rick that did it). Kill a walker and cover themselves in Walker guts because its the smell of humans that attract right? Right?
Cos it seems to change to benefit whatever the writers want.

It's just terrible. Inertia will keep me watching for another season, the Dexter effect.

I feel the same, sorta. The thing with Dexter was that no matter how bad the writing got, I really liked Dexter and thus wanted to see how his story played out. With TWD I don't have a strong feeling toward any individual character so my morbid curiosity is what keeps me watching.
 
Episode was absolutely fine. it was there to show the desperate state they were in and why they need a place to live rather than the endless roaming. As for the storm. Tornado ripped through the area.

Well no, they arent desperate because apparently anytime they are hungry a pack of dogs will show up and a female will shoot them all before they can do anything and then they can be eaten. And if they need water, it'll just rain for them.

So really it was all panic over nothing, they get free food and water - they're better off than we are.
 
hahaha exactly. Life isnt too bad for them. The walkers are pretty weak, and well, they only get bitten through their own stupidity.
 
i am looking forward to seeing the girl in the baseball cap play a bigger role

she is seriously hot

zombie apocalypse or not - I'm shocked Rick hasn't thrown his stetson in the ring to try and get Carl a new mammy

Also did anyone think of this when Rick mentioned being the Walking Dead?:

Yes Yes Yes!

I'm not quite sure why I'm keeping this one on my watchlist anymore. Suppose it's like Lost where I'm sticking through it to see how it ends. Hopefully it won't hit 10 seasons otherwise bad things will happen.

My strong feeling was with the Governor. Sadly I think this show died with him...
 
He became a parody towards the end I thought. I wasnt a huge fan of the direction his character went in. Its like he switched from trying to play good to "evil mastermind" to "evil psychopath" based on what the story needed. Was bizarre.

I thought his whole arc went on too long, and that sop story they tacked on made me want to vomit

Didnt help that the blonde annoying woman had a terrible storyline where he showed her what he was like, trying to kill her friend and she still slept with him. More importantly he felt like a generic badguy, just throwing bodies at the good guys. Yeah it drove the action but quickly got repetitive.

Yes because lets face it. In a tv series which features zombies, when things work out for our heroes in the end is the hardest thing to swallow.
 
Decent episode, looking forward to seeing what this place has.
