The Walking Dead on AMC

[Scherrman]

Why do some of you still watch if your tired of the show? I always see people complain after every episode or so.

Me, I can't hate watch something. To each their own though.

Just because I have criticism doesn’t mean I hate the show. If I hated it I wouldn’t watch it. I still enjoy it, just not as much as I did.

 

[Derwin0]

Yes, to each their own. We can always hope for improvement. Lament if there is not.

I can agree with that.

What I hate is when someone goes into the thread and criticizes the show, with following up with "I stopped watching 3/4/whatever years ago". If you quit watching, then why the need to keep harping on the show?

If you are still watching, then comments are justified. Plenty of stuff I don't like about Walking Dead, mostly the filler that usually exists between the premiere and mid-season (or end-season) finales.

I end it up skipping a lot on the last episode.

The other thing about not watching a show is why follow a discussion thread about it ?

I've just seen people complain after every episode. I wasn't calling anyone out in particular.

I enjoy the show. I don't look for little things so I can go online and pick it apart. I see it as a TV show about Zombies in the apocalypse. It will never be perfect. No way to base any of it on real life situations.

Again not calling anyone out. Just making conversation.

I criticize it because it was once great and is now just average. It just feels like they are trying to do too much or even milk out as many episodes as possible. It just bothers me when I know they have a great thing and can do better.

Could be worse, they could have it set in the southwest with an unlikable cast.

Oh wait... they're already doing that...

I haven't minded the other show but I admit that I have not seen one episode of it this year. I have it recorded but haven't gone out of my way to watch it yet. I guess that says enough about it.

If they follow the comics projectory(I mean up to the current edition), the storyline will seemingly get more boring. Using Game of Thrones as an example, at least GOT has an end game in sight, so their episodes have stayed exciting. if there is no endgame in sight for TWD, it'll naturally drift.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Tonight's episode is definitely one of those that makes you want to bang your head against the wall. "Let's make our heroes do EVERYTHING stupid under the sun."

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

I can't wait until Negan & the surviving Saviors meet Carol. There are no surviving Saviors who know who she is.

Another skipped episode...

 

[KAB]

Another 1/2 hr episode (at most).

 

[Hall]

I mentioned to my wife that it seemed like there were a lot more commercials.

The chase scene almost ended the show for me..... The biggest part of the episode was almost every "Kingdomer" getting killed by the M2 yet when Rick was getting shot at, the bullets were "bouncing" off of the sheet metal grill ??? Oh, I almost forgot.... one did puncture the radiator. If I'm not mistaken, these guns can put holes in cast iron engine blocks !!

 

[Scherrman]

I liked how this episode moved things forward finally but it was pretty cringe worthy overall. So many inaccuracies and stupid moments.

 

[Scherrman]

The latest episode was the best of the season for me. Had some slow moments and a stupid fight but overall it was good. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Only 3 episodes left before the mid-season break. So they'll probably build up tension next week, then start the final battle the week after, and wrap it up during the mid-season finale with a time jump (parts of this were shown during the season premiere) during the last half of that episode to set up for the second half of the season and the next story line.

I'll make a guess as to what the cliffhanger will be...

Spoiler: Name not revealed, but would be too easy to guess so using Spoiler tags

Carl walking down to the cell in the basement to give an unknown person his food, that person will lean forward at the end revealing that he was allowed to live at the end of the final battle with the Saviors

 

[KAB]

I can't believe they are pulling out Lennie James to move him to FEAR! A desperate attempt to salvage that Turkey! Can't help to feel bad and angry about the move.

Isn't there a timegap between the two shows (about to get even bigger)? With Fear being way behind the Walking Dead?

Can't see how they cross him over, without doing a time jump on Fear.

 

[Hall]

Fear the Walking Dead is ahead of Walking Dead. Well, at least it was when it started. I looked at the timeline here to try and see how they'd make it work but I don't watch FTWD so I wouldn't be able to make any sense of it. Morgan would have to have headed west from the GA region after he, Duane, and Rick met and then separated. Then, we're to believe he went back east and found Rick's group ? Or did he go west after Rick, Carl, and Michonne found him in his small-town 'home' ? Again, he is supposed to have done that and then returned east ? I just don't see how they make it work without holes in the "story".
