The Walking Dead

[The Human Q-Tip]

The dialogue and action in that episode is cringeworthy. How can they put out such trash. Almost mocking their audience now. I can see the Writers and Producers laughing, as they catcall the beverage ladies.

Those rousing speeches have really run their course after four freaking weeks....

Never read the comics, but this season has been completely lacking in terms of any real drama or storytelling.

I didn't really like the stories for much of last season, but at least they attempted tell some.

Spoiler City below but be honest...do you really give a shit? You don't...

Everyone looks angry to still be on the show except for the black dreadlock guy who appears to be making fun of the show.

Am I one or two weeks behind? I just watched the goofy gay guy die on a tree and gay Rand Paul seemed to be shocked that he became a zombie after he was dead.

Jesus and Morgan were fighting over something that happened and it was stupid. Not sure what it was because I was texting most of the episode and I'm sure it made absolutely zero sense because Jesus was claiming they weren't executioners and rationalizing how and when you could kill people that would ABSOLUTELY kill you under the same circumstances.

No Negan. So WGAF. And even Negan isn't really interesting anymore.

There was a moronic standoff between Rick and the guy who described in hilariously accurate terms what everyone watching the scene was thinking, "we knew each other for like 3 seconds in season one," but didn't finish with, "so why the fuck am I back on the show again?"

This show is so bad that I can't even believe it. It's as bad as it wants to be. Are people still watching it? Are they still selling merchandise?

Carol sucks. Maggie is annoying. Darryl seems to completely be going through the motions and not want to be on the show anymore. The black guy with the dreadlocks makes zero fucking sense with the way he's still talking like he's in the local plays and how does his tiger know who is good to attack and who isn't? How hasn't it been attacked by zombies? Where is it going when it isn't on screen during the episode?

God, fuck this show.

WHY DO THEY FIRE SO MANY BULLETS

LOL Jigo.

The dreadlock guy is actually a Zoo keeper - states it in last nights episode....and he becomes someone that people call King. He must've been magical at the zoo he worked at. Wasted his career cleaning up tiger shit.

Seemed like 1 person got shot for every 1000 bullets.
No idea who was winning any battle.
Ezekial belongs on ZNation, not TWD.
When Morgan was laying next to all those dead guys why didn't any of them turn?
They should probably wrap up this series.

I always loved how, when humans fight zombies on the show, they are expert marksmen and hit head shot after head shot with ease. But whenever they have to fight other humans, they immediately start shooting like Star Wars storm troopers, hitting everything except their target.

They need to make sure the car is dead.

Look at that shit - between the terrible effects and the ridiculous close up on Carol, it's crazy how bad this show has become.

I used to defend this show to no end. But holy shit this season is just terrrrrible. They need to get off this garbage story arc and move onto something different.

I liked this last episode... at least there was something other than gun battles. I liked the beginning with the king climbing over his dead soldiers after his "not one will die" diatribe. I thought the guy who captured the King was perfectly casted: very punchable face. I liked the action scene with Rick and Darryl chasing down the truck full of weapons.

All-in-all, I thought this was a fun one to watch.

 

[Jack Brickman]

So has this show managed to ruin Negan? Because he's so awesome in the comics.

I don’t know how they fucked this arc up but I’m officially done defending this show. I really am just about over it. Not enjoying the season much. And the show’s melodrama and constant cheap tactics (holy god end the flashbacks) are finally getting to me.

Even the action is bad at this point.

Scenes with Daryl and Rick remain highlights to me, but everyone else is just blah.

I can only watch so many melodramatic soap opera speeches at this point. Why do we have one every episode? I don’t know. I actually enjoyed last season, a lot of it anyways. I’ve been lenient, more so than others. But I’m finally at that point. The show has jumped the shark. Not sure how to fix it, might be time to kill it.

804 was the first good episode this season. Did a solid job showing the rise and fall of Ezekiel, just like they did in the comics.

The action scenes and the extreme amount of bullets that are shot is annoying, but I've learned to put up with it since season 4 on this show. It's nothing new.

Needs more Negan though. He hasn't been around since the first episode when he's one of the five or six central characters in the show right now. Unacceptable.

Let me run the show AMC. I'll do the comics justice.

Ezekiel!

That's his name.

I'll forget it later today. But for now I know it.

More Negan? Less Negan? More Negan? Less Negan?

You have people who want more, and people who want less. No matter who they appease, the other group gets upset. There were people writing articles last season about how Negan ruined the show.

I definitely think we need more Negan and a bit more of the Alexandrians as well. Haven't seen Negan, Michonne, or Carl since the first episode (IIRC), and they're legitimately three of the seven or eight most important characters to the current story.

Also haven't seen those garbage people yet this season after they betrayed Rick.

I don't really like the whole episodes focusing on one group, although I did like this week's Kingdom-centered episode. One thing Game of Thrones always does so well is incorporate a ton of different story lines each week in a fantastic manner, instead of sticking with the same group the entire time (outside of the one Night's Watch battle episode that I remember).

For a ~45 minute episode, which is what they typically are, I don't see any harm in doing:

12 minutes with Alexandria: Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Carl, etc.
12 minutes with Hilltop: Maggie, Jesus, Gregory, Enid, etc.
12 minutes with Kingdom: Zeke, Carol, Morgan, Jerry, etc.
10 minutes with Sanctuary: Negan, Eugene, Dwight, Simon, etc.

The big blockbuster episodes are the ones where these groups come together, just like in Spoils of War in Game of Thrones. Huge blockbuster episode: Jaime/Bronn's group come into contact with Dany's group. Huge battle. It was awesome (besides the stupid fake out at the end ).


(Also, I'm not comparing GOT to TWD. Game of Thrones is infinitely superior and we all know that).
