Craig H Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Of course the Walking Dead would have a season finale that's so boring and went nowhere to follow up on what was the best season of the show yet. I feel like nothing important of note happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Game of Thrones influence, innit*? Peak the season before it ends, then have the final episode be casting seeds to bloom in the future. Although it wasn't that uneventful, so much as they had storylines they didn't want to pay off yet, and others they wanted to set up for next year, with the W** guys and that. That Glen sure is tough though. And still has never killed a living human in the show, even though he really should have done right then. * The Morgan sees Rick for the first time in years, says his name, and then the episode ends without either of them saying one more word to each other is exactly what happened with two GoT characters at the end of season 3. And it was dissatisfying and frustrating then too. ** Here's hoping the Republican party gets their knickers in a twist over that. The letter W is a signifier of evil now, ha ha.

Technico Support Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Show timeline-wise, I don't think it's been even a year since Rick last saw Morgan ("Clear"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So was that episode a riff on the 1988 Presidential campaign? Rick is Bush, Deanna is Dukakis and crazy Pete is Willie Horton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Pete, the walkers and the wolves are all Willie Horton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Show timeline-wise, I don't think it's been even a year since Rick last saw Morgan ("Clear"). Well, the last time we saw Morgan, the group was still in the prison. After that got blown to hell, they encountered Terminus. And finally, Alexandria. If it hasn't been a year, it's at least been 6-8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yep. I was just referencing the poster who said "Rick hasn't seen Morgan in years." The show timeline is wacky. Corl has aged 4 years in a year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That's what they get for having a kid in the show and not having a year pass during/ between seasons. The LOST problem. Thrones gets around that by having the episodes take place over more than ten weeks of storyline time, and having time pass between seasons. More shows should do that.

Technico Support Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'd say "just don't put kids in shows, they suck anyway" but Carl is probably the best written kid on TV. Damning with faint praise, I know, but look at stuff like Brody's daughter on Homeland and you'll see just how poorly kids are written. They're always more obstacles than actual fleshed-out characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offspring515 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So Fear the Walking Dead starts tomorrow. New thread or talk about it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 With one thread for Arrow, Flash, and even Constantine I'd argue that starting a second TWD thread doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well that felt like a dramatic Syfy show. And not in a good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I thought it was okay-ish. Definitely a slow, "table-setting" episode. I like that, because of the long-form narrative that TV offers, we can get to see the world slowly unravel instead of having to join things after everything has already gone to shit, as we see in zombie movies. Things are falling apart exactly as they really would. We wouldn't go from normal to *BOOM* streetfuls of zombies; it would happen slowly, right under our noses, unnoticed or disregarded until it was too late. That being said, if it didn't have the built-in Walking Dead goodwill, they definitely wouldn't have had the leeway to make a pilot episode that was so slow.

wpdougie2180 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The question that comes to mind watching this is Do Zombie Movies/Shows not exist in the show's universe? Because the actions of the character suggest they don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They said several times over the course of The Walking Dead that zombies don't exist in this universe, which is why everybody has their own word for them like "Walkers" or "Biters". This is something completely unheard of to these people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Skeeter Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Jorge Garcia said on Talking Dead Sunday night "zombies' a couple of times. I was waiting for Gimple to give him the stink eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I know we are only two episodes in, but I don't like any of these characters. I take that back. I like Tobias. He is catching on well before everyone else. I don't like any of the main characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The main guy on the show...I guess he's supposed to be playing a Latino but I thought he was Indian. Turns out he's of New Zealand Maori descent. Hollywood: just go ahead and list "brown" on your resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Cliff Curtis gets cast as basically every non-White ethnicity. He's played quite a few Latino characters but he was also Ozai in that shitty Last Airbender movie. Pretty sure he's also played Arabic and Native American roles. There's an article about it I tried to post but making links work on here is janky on mobile. Hollywood is pretty shitty toward non-white people.

offspring515 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've actually really enjoyed the show. The two leads are pretty good and I like the vibe they're going for with the world falling apart but most people just being too busy with their lives to note what's happening. Did anyone else assume that the son, tied to his hospital bed and sharing a room with a dying old man, was going to end up zombie food? I really thought that was where they were going with it.

I really thought that was where they were going with it. I think that's what the writers wanted you to think, but i never bought that - only because kids in jeopardy generally survive in these shows. You'll probably never see Hannibal disembowel or eat a pre-teen, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
