The Walking Dead - AMC TV Series (spoilers everywhere)

[Guest RadarJammer]

I think the mid season break was a good idea in this case. a weak episode like that halfway through a season might bring down viewers. i think the poor action scene planning/choreography sucked me out of the show and let the steam out of my enthusiasm but maybe that's nothing new with TWD.

 

also why can't any show ever get background rabble right? it always comes off so awkwardly unnatural, especially in a show like this

It was noticeably bad this episode, I agree... The folks cheering during the fight between Merle and Daryl, the group rallying around Andrea as she waxed empty platitudes... The aforementioned Glen zombie skull-stomp partially made up for it.

I'd like to see Merle get killed off but he creates too much of an interesting dynamic for them to do that any time soon

[awesomeperson]

This show needs the grittiness of The Shield, it's getting too 90's TV.

I thought it was a good ep. the governor is clearly the wack job people wanted him to be. ricks madness is full on, especially when he was blankly holding his baby. (if it is his) and now that everyone knows he is clearly fucked, the group dynamic is fucked as well.

[baph]

lol, the governor doesn't even begin to approach the level of whack job he is supposed to

 

on the TV show he's just kind of a dick

[jules]

point taken. I'm not familiar with the comic.

[Guest nene multiple assgasms]

I had a reminder for the mid-season premiere set up on my calendar. you people are obviously not true fans.

 

and oh yeah, the comic governor was a full-on nanking massacre type of motherfucker.

I normally don't notice stuff like this but that really stood out to me in this episode. In the opening scene there was this one old lady who was just sort of moving her arm 30 degrees every 5 seconds & it was lol

[eugene]

yeah so apart from asian guy losing his shit and rick going insane and creepy this was a shit episode.

[Captain James Mission]

I really don't know why I keep watching this show. Apart from a few good/superb episodes it mostly just sucks...

 

especially the c-movie aesthetics they established this season. i know it's tv, but .

*backs out of thread*

[Rubin Farr]

Glad to see Rick is still crazy.

[Guest Jimmy McMessageboard]

yep

[Guest nene multiple assgasms]

maybe they'll send glenn back to the pharmacy for some crazy pills.

[chenGOD]

I thought it was an ok episode, though the crowd scenes were weak for sure. But when Rick was holding his (Shane's?) baby and losing his shit, that was great. Also the Daryl/Merle dynamic is gonna be good.

[Guest nene multiple assgasms]

do it, andrea! redeem yourself!

 

also, the actress who plays beth is a really good singer.

It has that 90's "The Stand" mini series feel. The whole town thing had been pretty shit. This back and forth between the prison and the town is irritating me, and the governor is a cheesy excuse for a villain. This show needs "The Road" grittiness.

The gunfights are terrible, they need to hire somebody who is actually able to shoot and edit that stuff, because now it's just distractingly bad.

[Cryptowen]

omg tom waits

[eugene]

"Carl, watch the wire"

 

finally rick's saying things that make sense

[jules]

loved that episode. great way to bookend it with the hitch hiker dude. really showing how far their level of care has disintegrated.

They're using guns from The A-Team show, that's why they can't hit shit.
