The Walking Dead (5 Viewers)

But that was one sick, so really sick, episode. Dad Winchester is gonna be a really mean mother****er in this season.
 
I thought the violence was gratuitous and a little bit over the top. I know they're paying a bit of fan service to comic readers with that, but I'd submit that fully half the audience knows nothing of the comics.

And Rick, WTF, dude??? You had him all alone in a trailer and wait until he's expecting it to make a move for him??? You let him get all the way back to the group where he has your people outmanned and outgunned?

Lastly, the symbolism with the bat in Rosita's face was just a bit too cute for me. Simmer down, director. We get it, she's cute, loved to the dude who just got killed, and now a "tougher" guy can wave his "bat" in her face. Stop it.

Finally watched the season premier last night. Jesus this show is fucking horrible. The writing and the acting are so laughably terrible that I can't believe it's not trolling everyone at this point.

The Leftovers did literally everything this show is trying to do in terms of story and character, but a billion times better and with excellent writing and acting.

The comic book is more fun, get the first couple compendium from Amazon.

Appreciate the recommendation, but there is a 0% chance I will read the comics. Not because I'm opposed to reading comics (I don't, but I would), but because these characters and the story generally has been too tainted by the show for me and there's so much other great stuff I need to get to in my "to read" pile.

I understand what you mean... and the other way around is true too, last year I decided to get back into the comic (and the books) just so that I could get the real characters back in my mind, rather than the watered down TV ones....
 
Only the Walking Dead could take what should be the emotional high drama of main character deaths and kill it with 50 minutes of meandering bullsh1t.

A decent drama would've delivered the shock in c5 seconds and left the audience to process the ramifications. TWD had to drag the ass out of it and totally fcuk it up.

Awful restart to the season!

It's all gone a bit The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
 
Why was this previous episode 90 minutes long? Wasn't necessary imo. I was done with the shtick 15 minutes tbh.
 
If I wanted to watch 90 mins of moving, I would head down to Umass on August 1st and watch the moving trucks



Tune in next week as we watch Rick fill out a small business loan application for 75 mins!

And then Negan takes the pen.

Anywho, I'm willing to bet that hot Megan or whatever Ken's girlfriend was called (who had been buried but NOT REALLY) ends up killing Negan at the end of the series. Y'know, "you killed my boyfriend, Ken, and you thought I was dead, but I'M NOT DEAD MOTHERDUCKER" in a sort of totally-not-guessable way.

Edit: Maggie, not Megan (it's still Ken, though)
 
As much as I actually like the show, the "I'm holding a gun inches from Neegan's face but I cannot shoot him because he's a bad dude" - is the stupidest thing on all of television (at least while Fear the W.D. is on hiatus).

If you cannot keep a guy named Zombie watching a show featuring zombies, it's time to pull the plug

Then again, America just proved that they have an unbelievable level of stupid going on right now, so I guess I'm just going to have to find a sci-fi show worth watching.

What time does "Mars" come on?
 
This was nothing but Negan, a complete douche already, just nose rubbing, taunting, and peacocking around looking for 2 hand guns while Daryl was dressed up like Alvin the chipmunk.

I'm very annoyed that Gimple is still breaking each episode into just one group's story. I wish they would weave the stories together a little bit better. It's probably for budget reasons that they don't film and produce episodes this way.

I think I only watch now to hate on the show. And Carl, get a [bleeping] haircut already.

Literally all my exact thoughts as I trudge through this show. I cannot quit and it pains me.

yep, actually, I could quit watching it. My wife still enjoys it for some reason and reminds me every Sunday that it is on. Even she thought the 90 Negan episode was stupid.

Same here, hate watching the shit out of it

Only thing i cant comprehend more is Talking Dead, who the fuck watches that show? Lets have a show talking about a show that no one enjoys.

It never interested me to watch a show about a show. Thank god my wife at least thought the same thing about that.
