Television The Walking Dead

What am I watching here?

I genuinely thought this was Fear The Walking Dead for a minute and had to come back out of my kodi add on to check.

Off!
 
That's an hour of my life I'll never get back. They should've just gone all out for 5 seasons made each episode action packed and it will have being One of the best TV series ever.
 
I never thought i would say this about an episode that didn't feature COOOORRRAAAALLLL.

But that was the worst episode i have ever seen, they must be over budget on the main stars again.
 
A whole bridge full of zombies caked in white dust.

Except one black zombie who was more or less clean and had dreadlocks. Makes sense.
 
It pleases me to read that this is still shite. I dropped it a few seasons ago. I am even thinking of dropping the comic as it is just as bland.

Yep, they're all pretty highly paid as it was, adding Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the cast probably means its easier for them to justify now.
 
A whole episode on two characters I thought were killed off from the second end of last season.

One thing that gripes me is the proximity of these groups, they're all free to leave anywhere but still manage to bump into one another. The saviours are supposed to be this massive group and you had the Women's Institute group saying "they killed our men, so one day we just left" well not far enough if someone who also has come across the saviours has found you and the saviours haven't.

I wish they release a GOT style map of this, because I don't understand why Alexandra & Hilltop can't just leave, they are always going on scavenge runs anyway and ignoring the fact America is just fecking huge but we're lead to believe they are penned in?
 
She stumbles upon a lezzers paradise and decides to leave? Maybe too many fishy pussies.

Looked like the Saviours just left the munters when they killed the blokes.

This exact thought crosses my mind throughout every episode this season. The obvious answer to their problem is move a long long way away from the saviours. Problem solved.

I don't think they've ever left Georgia, so the map wouldn't cover that much ground really. I'm assume it's shorthand and there are greater distances involved as they have to venture further and further to find resources. Apart from a brief trip to Atlanta they hadn't really moved that far at all, so they managed to miss each other entirely for 4 years

Haven't even watched the latest episode, don't think I will either, I'll stick to the key episodes where something actually happens that takes the story forward.

Sums it up perfectly. Only thing I disagree with is his assertion that people now give more of a shit about Tara after that episode.
 
With The Wire for example I rarely felt that an episode was unnecessary or could be deemed redundant. This is simply not the case for TWD.

Cos they dont give you a reason to care. I feel that about some of the main characters too.

It's funny, but it's probably the only show where I can't remember most of the characters' names. They'd mention somebody in a dialogue and I'd have no idea who they were talking about.
 
The only episodes that have been intetesting have been the ones with Negan in them.....

That Tara character is irritating

Yep, same. Even something like GoT with its numerous minor characters that look the same I remember all their names. This though, no fecking chance.

True in regards to GOT. But to be fair, in the GOT universe there's such a huge number and variety of characters that unless you're a loyal fan who also follows the books you're bound to forget a few names here and there and it happened to me on occasion.

In TWD the reason for not remembering at times who's who is not due to the number of characters but rather because those characters are so poorly written and are so irrelevant to the plot, they're simply not interesting enough to follow or care about.

I would like to think it was all in the purpose to introduce us to that women group, and all these random groups will form 1 super group to defeat the saviours.

In reality we will probably never see them again, and it was just a way to fill an episode :lol:

But those women were fecking piss-poor shots and couldn't even handle a useless fat cow with a stick.

Until the character has to die, thus gets an episode dedicated to them just before they die.

Oh... RIP Tara :P

Just so happened to look like the friend (T-Dawgg mkIII) they were looking for.

Also, why waste fecking bullets when she could have just stood on the roof of a car, let the zombies mill around and stab them all in the head with her spear. Simple. Bullets are apparently a precious commodity but the use them willy nilly - angry shooting at nothing, sniping practice, spraying at zombies when they clearly know they need to aim for the head.

I was rooting for her to die real bad, so I guess in a way I did care about her more.
 
And tell me who the farq would be such a smartarse or sarcastic when surrounded by a group with guns?

Bullets from a gun, which makes shit loads of noise to attract even more walkers. yep.

Yep, not to mention it would alert any people around of your presence.

These guys make far too many amateur mistakes for people that have lived in this shitty situation for this long. I'm at the point where I want to see them all die and want to see Negan win.

Even Jesus, who I thought would be a good and interesting character, lost me with his American Ninja shit. I want only Darryl to survive, maybe Rosita too 'cos she's hot. Rick can get it in the neck too for his ghey love affair storyline with Micchone.
 
Why isn't the gay bloke (have no idea what his name is) in it very much anymore? He seemed like a decent character but he just minces in and out of scenes now without any dialogue.
 
God that last episode was boring. I'd rather watch Peter Ebdon play snooker in slow motion.
 
Absolutely atrocious, turned it off halfway. I've stuck with this crap for a long time and worked myself through a lot of crap episodes but I couldn't take it anymore. I'd forgotten Tara existed and frankly I preferred it that way. A terrible character and utterly worthless actress. But somehow that wasn't even the worst part of the episode, that accolade is reserved for the mind-blowingly ridiculous writing. What are the odds of the lesbian stumbling upon a camp where literally all the males had been eliminated? :lol: And it only took her a couple of lines of text to convince them to reach out to her group, just seconds after they'd caught her deceiving them. Christ almighty.

But perhaps even worse was that scene where her and the token black guy were overwhelmed by zombies who'd previously been caught under a perfectly stable heap of dirt. You'd think even a crippled pensioner would make it out safely yet somehow they manage to end up with zombies circling around them. They routinely crush zombie skulls with minimal force but Tara can't get away from one barely holding on to her leg after having been stuck under tens of tons of dirt for god knows how long. I think we've hit rock bottom.
