Walking Dead

Jordo!

Hmm. A nerve was touched in Colorado.

Reasonable suggestions and fair questions.

I had about given up before they introduced Negan -- and did an excellent job. Now I'm loafing around to see what they do with it... so far, it's been to keep him off camera, because, apparently he is not as well liked as hoped.

I am not beholden to any canonical telling of Kirkman's work; when AMC does well, differing from the original or not, I take note of it (and same for when they do poorly).

You can like something and critique it just you can dislike something and give it a generous pass on poor craft. I'm just offering my 2 cents like anybody else here.

In the grander scheme: You might think of my complaints as a counterbalance to blind fandom for the show, of which there is much.

Now you are unfairly making me out to be TWD fanboy, which, I assure you I am not. For me Into the Badlands and Preacher are far superior AMC shows. With that being said I do enjoy a long running post-apocalyptic show and I look forward to it every Sunday night even though the way they create drama is having the characters continually make stupid decisions (a common zombie movie trope). I have no knowledge of the graphic novel story either.

But I have to say that being critical is one thing but saying that they should cancel the show (in a clever way) is over the top, and it becomes tiresome that people use this thread to incessantly whine about its shortcomings. Like I said, if it is that bad I am not sure how intelligent a person is to waste their time watching it (I think that phenomena is called hate-watching). Also it seems that people feel that being critical makes them sound intelligent, but for me it comes off as being pedantic.

Why take pleasure in crapping on something that people like? It's just human nature I suppose.

Have I explained my irritation sufficiently? That's my 2 cents

BTW, one way or the other, Eugene made a great decision!

3.7 ZPA

Film will never be able to go as far as written material can. After 7 seasons, there's bound to be some bland episodes, and continuity errors. I'm still enjoying it, though.

I predict this episode scene for scene. I actually really enjoyed it, it was just overly predictable.

hopefully they keep this pace, the episode didnt seem to drag for me like most do.

I find Rosita to be annoying too. What's her f'ing problem? Does she really think she can go up to the Saviors main camp all alone and kill Negan? And where is Karllllllllll? Got to find Karllllll!!

Jordo!

To AMC's credit, she's been well cast and given some stuff to do that's more noteworthy on the TV show than in the comic.

That said...



In any case, many events play out differently than might be expected.

If you click, please tell me the ordering.

Apologies for my hypothesis-testing...

Pretty safe to say that won't end well for her.

The Dimer

Well that episode was a bit of a let down. I enjoyed the short bit with Maggie and Daryl finally addressing Glen's death, and I like pretty much every moment Simon has on the show. Too bad that was less than half the episode. The arc with Sasha and Rosita felt like 5 minutes worth of story that was stretched over a half hour, and of course they leave us with a cliffhanger at the end instead of giving the audience anything worth a damn.

That was about the best episode of the season. The only thing that would have made it better is if Rosita and Sasha would have made out.



Things are looking great for the next two

DCNISMO

Best episode of season?

Jordo!

I'll give them credit for making Rositia a somewhat more interesting character on the show than she is in the comic. She's portrayed pretty much as just a floozy in the comic.

I like the guy they cast as Gregory.

The Eugene situation was reasonable given the way they had things turn out, but now they're stuck with it... they'll have to work around that a bit now.

One quick (super minor) spoiler:

By the way, I am genuinely curious about who looks and who doesn't and why they do or don't

I am like Negen in that I think she is "BAAAAAD-Assssss", plus I think she and Sasha are smokin' hot. The interaction between Simon and Gregory was quite enjoyable as well. We learned something interesting about Jesus!.

No, I do not want to see any spoilers no matter what. I hate speculation and fan theories as I enjoy to sit down with a glass of wine and let things unfold with an unencumbered mind.

Last thing I will say is that you f**kers are so spoiled. When I was a kid shows like TWD were few and far between (or did not exist) and they were of low production value. So I get kinda salty when I see the complaints the next day on how terrible the episode was...

(I call you guys f**kers in the most loving sense of course )

DCNISMO

I half expected Sasha and Rosita to paint their toenails and brag about who had better sex with Abraham

DCNISMO

I hope the season final does something. I'm guessing it's going to be all lead up and the war starts and then the show ends.

Chuck33079

Yep. And it'll be a 90 minute episode, but all of the additional time is just commercials.
