New TV series - The walking Dead

[Bynumite]

They should've just moved the prison group to Morgan's safe house. That place was like a fortress with all those booby traps and literally hundreds of guns. Good position from the roof and windows too...

That seems like the smart thing to do tbh. New safe location that the Governor is unaware of.

[DarrinS]

This was a very good episode except the part where Rick gets stabbed with a 6 inch knife between the shoulder and chest, wraps a bandage around it, and shows no signs of pain for the remainder of the episode.


Or Michonne retrieving the family photo from zombie-infested King County Cafe in only a few seconds.

[DarrinS]

But then again, we are talking about a show with walking dead people, so I don't know how realistic we should expect it to be.

[Trainwreck2100]

i just want to know where morgan got all those guns, he even had a crossbow.

Some from the police station, but good question..

[jeebus]

It's been like a year since shit went down, he probably just had to travel around a bit and get weapons from dead folks. He might've even gone to hotlanta and gotten some crap as well. Would also explain why gasoline isn't much of a problem now; no one left alive to use it.

I want to see another horde of zombies (like Rick encounters in Atlanta) come fuck shit up. The farm being overrun was nice, but I want to see a bigger mob come through the prison and/or Woodbury.

Lennie James is a BAMF. He was funny in Snatch.

[leemajors]

That makes way too much sense; stop it.

It's fairly obvious that no one has been in that town for a while except for Morgan and walker presence is basically nil. I say lock up the prison and move on out of there during the night, using it as a last resort. Mayberry will eventually fall due to it turning into crazy town while Rick and company chill out in his old town. Kill off Andrea, Glenn, and Fuckface Carl then start fresh with Morgan.


I'm sure he'll be back. Dude was bananas before Rick showed up; now that he knows there's a friend out there, he should stick around.


And comics creator Robert Kirkman discusses the continuing evolution of Carl:

[We] watch him grow and evolve from this kid who's almost a burden to a child soldier. Where we're gonna go with this kid is some pretty exciting places. This season is really just the beginning of his journey.

[to21]

:lol

There you can stop watching now people....big plans for Carl.

[DarrinS]

I think the show would be more intense if the walkers weren't so easily defeated -- or maybe had some intelligence remaining.

I refuse to believe it! It's already proven if enough people are outraged at a situation on the show, the writers will change it. If the world unites and lays down its arms(ushering in a new era of world peace, of course) in unison, wanting that little shit to die, then the writers will kill him off.

[Capt Bringdown]

Agreed. The zombies in 28 days later or 2004's Dawn of the Dead would be more interesting.

The only way the the zombies in this show are threatening is if they form a herd - which is why both the prison & governorville are a bit ludicrous, as both are surrounded by woods/forest. Obviously you would want a location with clear sight lines to the horizon all the way around.

[leemajors]

Also, Aisha Tyler should be on every episode of Talking Dead from now on.

She's on the Champs podcast this week FYI:

[Thebesteva]

Fast zombies are gay...it's a proven fact. It's a never ending debate but its always 5-1 that most people prefer slow\herd dangerous zombies. Fast zombies are scary as fuck but then you wont have a show....hence the reason why the world ended in dawn of the dead

[Trainwreck2100]

There was a time jump between season 2 and 3

There was a time jump between season 2 and 3
http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Television_Show_Timeline

Dunno how accurate it is but usually those wiki nerds try to get things right. I don't remember the ep but I do recall (I think Andrea) saying they were on the run for like 7 or so months.

[InRareForm]

this show is the most overrated show tbh..

Good show, but nothing GREAT.

[Thebesteva]

this show is the most overrated show tbh..

Good show, but nothing GREAT.

No its an amazing show but it has a few ruts and a ton of problems behind closed doors with staff. It started off as Frank Darabont's show (the director of Green Mile\Shawshank Redemption). The show was amazing, then he left due to fights with AMC over budget. They replaced him with another guy who had the first half of season 2 sucking dick.

After the first half of season 2, the show got great again and I felt the first half of season 3 was very good as well. The last few episodes have been ok-decent. I heard Glen Mazarra took over the show now and they had more changes behind closed doors.

[CuckingFunt]

Glen Mazarra has been showrunner for all of this season, but he has since left, too.

The guy taking over as showrunner is Scott Grimple, who wrote the most recent episode (which I've already stated is my favorite of the series), as well as some of the other highlights. Based on the episodes he's written so far, he seems to have a pretty good handle on how to keep the show compelling while sticking to the slow pace and focus on character/dialog that defines the source material. All of which makes me feel pretty optimistic about the show going forward, so long as they can ever get through a full season without firing (or otherwise losing) the showrunner.

[Chris]

Did I hear correctly that they're working on almost a year timeline on the show?

There was a 3-4 month span between seasons 2 and 3 that we did not see. Also, they were apparently on the farm for many months despite a day to day feel as conveyed by the concurrent episodes.

[spursfan09]

The group was on the road after the farm for about 8 mos going house to house. Think of how small Lori was when she found our she was pregnant on the farm. Then she was huge the first episode of season 3. The year long time line is about right.

[to21]

^Well then it explains how the zombies are easily defeated. Most of them should be dead just by malnutrition, no?

[exstatic]

^Well then it explains how the zombies are easily defeated. Most of them should be dead just by malnutrition, no?

They don't actually die. If you watched the episode, they just lie down and go dormant until food comes by, like Carl and Michonne in the Cafe.

[TheMACHINE]

Just watched the last episode...not bad for a bottle episode.

[leemajors]

Kirkman comments on rest of season:


The rest of the season really is about what Andrea is doing and how she's handling this situation. The scene where she stands over him in the bed is really the beginning of her plan and what she's going to be doing and why she's doing what she's doing. The fact that she wasn't able to kill the Governor is really going to play in to a lot of the upcoming story for the rest of the season. Andrea is in a really horrible position. She has relationships with people in Woodbury. She knows there are good people there. She knows that the Governor is instigating a war between those people and other people that she has a relationship with that she also knows to be good people. She's kind of stuck in the middle and can't help either group win because that would mean the destruction of other good people but she's going to have to do something to try to make this situation resolve in a way that not too many people get hurt. So that's really what she's going to be trying to do moving forward.
I'm afraid there may be a casualty or more still to be experienced by the end of this season. We'll see.

Will this Woodbury vs. the prison storyline be resolved by the end of the season? Season 1 was the set up and going to the CDC, season 2 was about the farm, and season 3 has been the prison and Woodbury. Should we expect a new setting next season?
That would certainly appear to be settling into a cycle. I don't want to give anything away because we have some really cool stuff planned for the finale, but I will say that there is a resolution to the storyline at the end of the season, as people would expect. It becomes a whole complete story that you've been able to experience over the course of season 3. And It will set things up nicely for season 4. There are new places to go in season 4, but whether or not that means a new setting or new story direction or simply new characters I can't really nail down any specifics.

[Relevancy]

Kirkman comments on rest of season:Who the fuck cares about Andrea for gods sake, the only thing she's good for is sleeping with guys. I hope they don't place too much story on her, she should die already.

Kirkman comments on rest of season:

If the focus on Andrea is what finally gets TV Andrea to turn into comic book Andrea, I'll be happy.

I still think they've completely mishandled the prison and Woodbury arcs, however, and there's nothing in Kirkman's comments that leads me to believe that will be resolved satisfactorily. Which is (potentially) unfortunate.

[to21]

TV Andrea reminds more like comic book Michonne along the lines as her sexuality and aggressiveness toward men (Shane and the Governor). Bringing some of what Andrea was in the comics would be cool.

[jeebus]

I'll never forgive Andrea for shooting Daryl and being happy about making the shot. I want to shove a semi auto shotgun up her ass and unload about 8 rounds in her.

I pretty much hate what TV Andrea has become, and am therefore unlikely to waste much time coming to her defense, but to be fair she was happy that she shot a walker. She was sad and appropriately apologetic when she found out it was Daryl.

Doesn't matter; I still want her dead. Everyone and their mom told her to not shoot because they didn't know who or what it was and she didn't care. That stupid smile she had after taking the shot just made me boil with hatred for her. I liked it better when she was suicidal.

I'd settle for them letting Tyreese be who Tyreese should be. Actually in the picture.

[CuckingFunt]

I swear... If they manage to fuck up Tyreese... Or they turn him into T-Dogg the 3rd...

I'm trying to think happy, optimistic thoughts, though. I avoided panicking too much when Michonne spent almost the entirety of the season as an underdeveloped mute with no sense of agency or motivation outside the demands of the plot, and finally last episode she started to resemble the character I'm so fond of in the comics. Hopefully Tyreese will work out the same way.

[spursfan09]

I'm glad I never read the comics. Many are sounding disappointed

[jeebus]

Semi-agreed. Most of it sounds pretty good but some of it sounds pretty meh. I might read it after the show is done with to see how they did it differently. I am glad that I didn't read the comics before; I probably would've wanted the show to be just like the books. And that, of course, never happens.

I watched the first season, about 15 mins of ep 1 of season 2, and stopped. Read comics a year later, then my gf started watching the show on Netflix. Since I couldn't spoil anything complaining I shut up and just watched it, and enjoy seeing where they differ. A complete copy of the comics would be unfilmable and kinda silly imo.

[CuckingFunt]

I'm actually very happy to have kept current with both the comics and the TV show. I find each of them to be genuinely entertaining on their own and generally like that the TV show has not followed the books directly. Additionally, I find that having read the comic book, which allows for far more character development than even the laboriously paced second season did, I am a lot less critical of the TV show's rather hollow characters than I would have been otherwise.

It just so happens that this season is tackling what has got to be the comic book's most iconic arcs, in terms of both characters and narrative. I don't think the show is horrible, by any means. If I did, I'd stop watching. Nor do I want them to follow the comics exactly. I've welcomed the deviation, even within this narrative arc -- everything involving the Dixon bros. has been hugely entertaining, and I'm happy to miss out on the televised version of some of the comic's grislier (and, in some cases, cheesier) plot points. They're just in fan favorite territory this season, is all, which is always going to lead to more passionate/more vocal scrutiny.

[Relevancy]

Your reading comprehension is stellar.Doesn't change the fact that Andrea is really annoyiing

[Relevancy]

She's another Lori, well not exactly alike, Andrea is more combat prepared then Lori.

[exstatic]

She's another Lori, well not exactly alike, Andrea is more combat prepared then Lori.

In some ways, she's more naive, though. Lori always went for the top dog. First Shane, then Rick, when he returned. Andrea always seems to pick the runner up. Assuming Rick beats the governor, that will be two second place finishers in a row in a discarded Shane and the Guv.

I hope they don't try to Carl her. Carl was super annoying those early on and I cheered when is useless ass was shot. But when season 3 started, the writers tried to turn him into billy badass and make people like him again. Uh, uh. I ain't buying it.

I pray they don't do the same to Andrea. "oh look, she helped the group do something against Mayberry so all is forgiven."

Why is it so hard in every TV show for someone to explain themselves during scenes like this? Rick not only radioed Morgan religiously every single day he also pleaded with him to come along the journey to Atlanta. Morgan's dumb fuck ass responded with 'in about 2 weeks Duane will learn to shoot and I wont be so rusty'. Rick also advised Morgan to take the sniper rifle and kill off the few walkers including his wife before something went wrong.

Morgan is pretty guilty tbh.

I normally don't mind setup episodes or talk-a-thons, just as long as the plot keeps moving. However, this episode was a snoozefest. it could've been compressed into a 3 part, 2 minute webisode series if they wanted to. The "peace talks" were basically them lying to each other the whole time, with only 2 minutes of real bargaining, which was the governor wanting duck face. they could've done without the stupid mini walker attack and just have them chill out around the vehicles, which was far more interesting. And then seeing the asian cuck getting it on with the governor's sex toy was just face palm inducing.

And then there's Andrea. Holy fuck.

The show has a very clumsy handle on nuanced dialogue and non-action scenes. Simply stretching things out and stuffing-in unnecessary padding does not add meaning. Apparently the writers thought that shot after shot of the guv and Rick staring at each other was going to create tension.

I just watched it. I didn't think AMC would make an ep revolving around the shittiest character in the world but they did it. the last two episode could've been combined into an episode, maybe even half an episode. instead we got a setup episode setting up a setup episode which setup next week's (probably) talk-a-thon setup episode. I think I skipped half this episode because it was all so dumb.

"jeebus, I'm confused. what made this episode dumb? it was grrrrreat!" well, when Fagdrea took off running, the world's lamest and boring villain took off after her. one guy in a dodge ram looking for one girl who knows how to survive; he's not gonna find her right? wrong. the one eyed wonder somehow picks the right field to look in and sees her from a hundred yards out while she was laying on the ground. but she escapes. whew. close call; she's safe in the woods now. so she wanders around and somehow comes across a warehouse. this shit is obscured from everything and covered by trees and not near a road. safe, right? wrong. the governator shows up again and finds her by using his superior brain power. after 10 boring minutes of hide and seek, she escapes by letting loose a horde of zombies and he's up outta ammo with his back against the wall. he's fucked right? all Fagdrea has to do is take a weapon from the dodge, slash the tires, and go to the prison. wrong. somehow our villain dispatched all the walkers, got into his untainted vehicle, and escpaed. no matter, it was dark when she left the warehouse and now it's light which means she's had hours to get away; she's got a huge headstart and could be anywhere. look! it's the prison. safe and sound. wrong. our bad guy knows exactly where she'll be and captures her. I'm fairly certain a group of retarded children wrote this episode using their feces as ink.

[to21]

The end of this episode is reminiscent to the situation Michonne is in the comics...I wonder if they'll use that for Andrea in the TV show.

[CuckingFunt]

I liked the episode. I thought it was far from perfect, of course. When picked apart with a critical eye, it may not even qualify as good. But from a pure enjoyment point of view, it did a far better job of entertaining me for 42 minutes than some of the series' other set up episodes have managed.

I remain somewhat baffled by the criticism the show receives here and on other message boards I've perused. Never before have I read so many comments from people who've stuck through so many episodes of a show that they clearly never have and likely never will enjoy. Continuing to complain about the pace of the show, for instance, seems utterly futile at this point. After nearly three complete seasons and four showrunners, there's been absolutely nothing to indicate that anyone associated with the making of the show wants it to be anything other than long, slow, speechy moments punctuated only occasionally by action. Which makes sense, since that's exactly the pace of the comic books. And it always has been. There's still plenty of room to find fault -- the dialog, even more this season than last, has too often been little more than clunky bits of exposition; and the character development, when they've even bothered, has been... problematic, at best; and I've already mentioned before that I think many of the changes made to the prison and Woodbury storylines have been for the worst -- but clearly this isn't a show that's failing to be a thrill-a-minute action fest. It has zero interest in being that show.

[CuckingFunt]

Whether it's Michonne or Andrea, I still have no desire to see that on TV. (And not just for feminist/woman-y issues, as I also wouldn't really want to see Michonne's revenge on The Governor acted out.) I think we're definitely meant to think that sort of sexual torture is Gov's intention, though. I mean, it can't be an accident that one of the tools he was arranging near the dentist chair was a speculum.

There's still plenty of room to find fault -- the dialog, even more this season than last, has too often been little more than clunky bits of exposition; and the character development, when they've even bothered, has been... problematic, at best; and I've already mentioned before that I think many of the changes made to the prison and Woodbury storylines have been for the worst -- but clearly this isn't a show that's failing to be a thrill-a-minute action fest. It has zero interest in being that show.This. :lol waiting and wanting for the same old tired clips of zombie kills.

[jeebus]

:lol Thanks for that jeebus (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=22786)! Now I can just skip this shitty episode. Wake me up when someone dies.

I almost forgot my favorite part. You know how we have someone walking or driving along and they stop? it's fairly obvious nothing and no one is around until.....bam! a pack of walkers show up out of thin air. in this ep, fagdrea was hiding behind a tree, waiting until a truck goes by. with the camera angle, you see nothing is behind her. alas, a walker grabs her from behind. then like 3 of them pop up DIRECTLY in front of her, where the trees are about as thick as a 2 liter soda bottle. it was gruesomely dumb.

there's only 2 eps left so hopefully the writing is better in those.

I thought it was a great episode. End was a bit predictable though.

she did, super conveniently right at the outskirts of the prison. telling you, a squad of retards wrote this episode.

at the last scene, she was cuffed to a dentist's chair with a bunch of tools behind her. cross your fingers and say your allahu akbars that she gets tortured to death next episode. if she does, I'm officially a fan of the guvnah and hope he takes over both groups for season 4.

Why can't the tv show have both? lately there's been no story and no walkers being killed. playing hide and seek with mandrea, talking about wives and how someone lost their leg for an hour is pretty weak stuff.

[spursfan09]

No I agree, the past two episodes have been kind of boring. The whole meet up between Rick and the Gov was pointless. I thought last Sun's episode was pretty good though better than last thats for sure.

I know I came off scarcastic, but the video game is really cool like that.

[Capt Bringdown]

I thought last week's show was starting to make a turn for the better, but the entire sequence of Andrea and the Guv was preposterously bad. Anyone remember the old TV show "Lost In Space?" Cardboard villains and cartoon "suspense" sequences. And the LOL funny Deus ex machina comeback of the Guv.

The main focus/purpose of the series seems to be of normalizing the idea of making the viewers sit tight for weeks of boredom in the hopes of some distant payoff. "Rick vs Guv, you've been hoping for it all season!"
In my view, there's no excuse for a bad "setup" show. Every show, even as part of a series, has to stand on it own and entertain. That's what good TV does IMO.

[Lincoln]

havent looked at the spoiler yet but i have sources that say glenn is going to die. i even posted it a few pages back.

we will see if it is true. episode was alright, had nothing to do with the 'war' tho but whatever. i wish they would go back to the shit they did in season 1.

I sincerely hope Glenn dies. even after the world has gone to shit, he still acts like an emo korean kid.

Season 1 was the best. When I saw it, I thought they'd for sure pack up and leave the whole Atl area and try to find a group of survivors or military or something. I thought they had gone kinda far away until that a couple eps back they went back to the hometown, which was like a 15 min drive away. Now they're chilling in a prison that's one fence collapse away from being overrun. I know they're trying to follow the comics and everything but holy shit; they've literally been driving around in circles.

I always thought it was wierd that Rick didn't know there was a prison near the whole time, since you know he was a cop in the area.

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao worried about getting married in a zombie infested world. Here's your ring bitch. I just cut it off of a zombie's finger :lmao

[jeebus]

sons now that's how the eps should be. talking, but meaningful talking that actually furthers the plot and storyline. not "can I see your stump?" or "I'm a random goon of the guvnah and I lost my family". the only stupid part about this episode was when chink in the armor decided to bore us to tears with his stupid marriage shit. I'm hoping he dies in next week's bloodbath.

speaking of which, here's my death wishlist:

Chink in the Armor
Mandrea
Carl

1 or 2 of the women are definitely gonna die. if this show taught us anything, it's you can't have too much of one type. in this case, you can't have Mandrea, the two daughters, Shane's kid, Carol, and possibly T-Dawg part 2's sister alive at the same time.

[Trainwreck2100]

blonde girl gonna die probably she's had nothing to do this season and Daryl lost merle so losing carol his buddy would be fucked up

[jeebus]

blonde girl gonna die probably she's had nothing to do this season and Daryl lost merle so losing carol his buddy would be fucked up
yeah, either Carol or blondie is gonna die since one of them has to be alive to look after Shane Jr; probably blondie. I don't think they'd kill of Herschel cuz he's the doctor, but I'm really hoping Chink in the Armor dies because of this whole wedding thing. it's like the guy that shows the picture of his girl back home to a friend before heading into battle: destined to die.

Barring the actual zombie killing scenes it's taken on a soap opera cadence & feel to it.

I rewatched the series up until Shane and Tubs went to the FEMA trailer (tbh I just wanted to see Carl get shot). Cuck was a decent leader up until the point where he found he Lori was a whore and would have to raise Shane's kid like a good cucky; he's been a mental midget ever since. Glen was ok until he got his cherry popped and has been a clingy bitch since. Only Daryl has been a rock the whole series.

But, still the producers are bound by the author's dictates. It stinks. WTF was I thinking to begin with? For some stupid reason I thought they had full autonomy.

[jeebus]

Until this last episode.

he gets a pass for that; hell I was pissed too cuz Merle was awesome. it's just a shame the guys behind the scenes didn't have more eps with those two together. they had what, the hallucination ep and the one where they escaped from Mayberry? fail.

[spursfan09]

Well Glen will be happy Merle is gone :lol

As for Darryl. I don't see him as a leader type. He is just good at hiding his emotions. He had a hard life even before the apocalpyse. Not everything phases him the it way it does for Rick who seemed to lead a very comfortable life before everything went down.

Even Merle was saying that his brother needs to think for himself. So far he's been drifting between Rick and Merle. Yesterday was the only time he told Rick no he'll go find his brother by himself; and told Rick what to do which was stay with his family.

Darryl didn't want to deliver Michonne to the governor and told Rick "it's not us", but he was still deferring to what Rick wants. A leader would be more adamant about his opinion or stance.

I'll tell ya:::I was discussing this series with my son a month or so ago, and I was heavily lamenting them going to this town (Woodbury?) and incorporating this "Governor" fellow. "It's in the comic books. They had to."

At that moment it finally got into my thick skull that the producers were bound by this original work. I was still thinking in the George Romero type of zombie effort where you're not bound by anything and all the ways "Walking" could have went and which characters stayed OR died. It's sobering with a governer attached to this series.

It's taken a lot of joy away for me.

One of the few similarities between the show/comic regarding Woodbury is that there is a character named the Governor.

Agreed. I thought the prison thing might've been a decent setting but this stupid Mayberry plot is just killing the show. I'm sure the book is fine but from what I've been seeing, it's almost unfilmable. When they left the farm, why didn't they head to Fort Benning? Are they really gonna believe that fat fuck they killed in the bar? Why didn't they head to the coast? Further inland to less populated areas? Nope. They drove around in fucking circles the whole winter.

Meh. Can't change the past. Do the season finale, kill off the guvnah, and move away from the comics please.

Yet they had enough time to have a Mandrea centric episode, a character that everyone hates except for feminazis and Oklahoman women. Don't forget about the "sit down" episode where they tried to agree on something but ended up agreeing on nothing, wasting everyone's time. I gotta see who they kill off on sunday and where the show sits before I swear it off.

They're also definitely gonna try to make us all sympathize for Mandrea by having her get raped or tortured or something; prepare yourself for this and don't fall for it. Daryl is too popular to be killed and AMC isn't that fucking stupid. Glenn or Maggie would be logical cuz they're getting married but everyone would expect that(but I think they'll get theirs next season. Herschel, Carol, Blondie are good candidates to die.

Guvnah! Dude, that guy needs to joins Cuck's group. I laughed so much when he started mowing down those pussies with his AUG, complimented with the Hollywood-style mag. Now that Mayberry is a sausagefest with him and his 2 politically correct goons, he should be a non issue next season.

Not much of a cliffhanger but kinda sad that they're in the prison for the long haul. How are they gonna feed all those useless people?

You realize that canned food won't last forever, right? They're going to run out. The prison has enclosed, arable land to grow stuff. Woodbury was always a death trip. If the guv hadn't mowed down those people, they would have starved.

[DesignatedT]

It was a good episode. I'm cool with not having some huge cliffhanger but still have no idea the direction this is going to go in. The fact that all these people are now at the prison makes me feel like they are going to be staying there for awhile? Gosh I hope that isn't the fucking case. The whole prison setting has really run its course.

[Reck]

Wow horrendous writing all over the place.

Not to mention there isnt a single likable character in the whole show. This series has regressed the most of anyone tv show I have ever seen.

Goodbye Walking Dead, I will not be wasting my time with this show anymore.

[oh crap]

kind of indifferent to tonights finale overall. just excited that mad men's return is on deck and looking forward to the final return of Breaking Bad later this summer.

I liked it. I was dreading the finale being some lame, super cliche battle where all the fanboys' dream head-to-head fights would happen (Daryl vs Martinez, Rick vs Philip) or the rumor that Morgan was going to join the prison group in battle.

I knew this was going to end in a cliffhanger. And at least it wasn't a filler episode.

Now that Lori and Andrea have died, please kill Carl in Season 4.

Hopefully they got rid of Cuck seeing his dead wife on top of ledges; that shit was getting lame and tiresome. I didn't think the battle was that bad, I'm just glad they didn't forget about the generators. Scrounge up some diesel fuel and power those suckers up for a bit, then use the light to go kill walkers and secure that shit.

[symple19]

good episode

It would seem that they are totally and completely leaving the comic book story line, which is awesome on a number of levels

+1 for Tyreese joining the group, but he sure is a bitch compared to the comic book... Oh well, there's time for him to toughen up next season

I would guess that the governor will be back at some point. He's far more appealing now that he's gone full psycho (+10 for mass killings)

+1 for getting rid of Andrea

+1 for Carl shooting a kid in the face for no reason

-1 for too many people living. I wanted more main characters to get offed...However, this is another component which indicates that the TV show is taking on a life of its own and departing from the CB --- A good thing in the long run, imo

[ThePop]

I'm glad Thrones is back, because I can't take another episode of this shit. Awful finale, awful season.

[ColinB]

I watched Game of Thrones. Then I watched this.


:lol Wow.

[Thebesteva]

This is my favorite show...I never really followed a series before this because I'm just a huge fan of Sports and movies, never into TV shows. Season 1 was amazing, granted it was 6 episodes. Season 2 was really lame up to the last 3 episodes which fucking delivered, season 3 was awesome and picked up the pace up until the mid season finale. Since then it's been a bad nightmare I cant wake up from like the Lakers season. Fucking season finale made me more pissed off than that guy who says fuckin Rudy gay.

[Capt Bringdown]

Prefer the first season. These season-long set pieces are disappointing, season 3 especially so.
Deflated interest. There's so much more they could do with this show, but it seems they've put a cap on imagination and innovation.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I've never seen a show take such a nose dive into shit so quickly. Each episode was worse than the previous.

[JudynTX]

From my twitter timeline last night, Carl is one bad mo'fo. :lol :lol

The comprehensive goods from Cap.

[CuckingFunt]

I thought last night's was a good episode, but a shit season finale. It neither closed off existing narrative arcs nor established new ones for next season.

[Death In June]

The season finale should have been something they used three episodes ago to build up the conflict between the two groups. Instead, they didn't leave with a satisfying conclusion and they also thinly spread a story over three hours. This shows fallen into that group of shows that I've found myself watching, but not really enjoying. I think part of it is that I've been with it from the first season, so there's a reluctance to turn it off completely. Another part is that the show has had so much writer turnover over the last three years, the optimist in me is waiting for it to turn around.

[Darius McCrary]

The writing of this show reminds me of the disjointed writing we saw during the Writer's Strike.Lot of shows came back from that with weird writing that didn't quite mesh with what happened before.

"David Morrissey (http://www.digitalspy.com/celebrities/david-morrissey/) is to return as a series regular for The Walking Dead's fourth season."

True? Hope not.


fuuuuck. "oooh, he's so mean". move on already. we met him, saw his good guy/bad guy routine, did some torture and killed his own people. there's nothing left for him to do except die or maybe get cornered somewhere with no way out.

[Reck]

For the people that are happy Andrea is dead, dont get your hopes up. I'm sure she'll get replace with an even bigger dumb bitch.

Also for the people wishing Carl dead in season 4. The writers will first kill everyone, including Rick before they kill this faggot in training.

And that's a main reason why the writing is so terrible. How can a TV show unite an entire fanbase to want the 12 year kid's head off?? Bad acting alone won't do that alone.

[Thebesteva]

Rumor on The Walking Dead boards is the original script for the finale was to kill off EVERYONE except for Rick, Carl, Michonne and Daryl. Also, it was supposed to keep you wondering if Glenn and Maggie survived or not from the battle with the Governor. The governor was supposed to also be killed off. Lastly, Andrea was supposed to survive and be used at some point later in season 4, but the amount of complaints they got about the character made Glen Mazarra just want to focus the season finale on her death for some insane reason.

[redzero]

It's kind of amusing that the writers already had the source material to go with, but they instead choose to wing it and make a character like Andrea completely hated by the entire fanbase. I still wonder how this show has fans after they bitched about every episode for years.

[Thread]

^Because it's better than nothing. It's the only first run stuff I've watched since "The Equalizer" over 30 years ago.

[Thebesteva]

It was rumored that Mazarra got canned because his 'finale' and his direction for the show was going way off course from the comics into it's own thing and that the later part of season 3 and the finale were so bad(not good) that AMC execs canned his ass. It could also be said that the show is so popular that AMC did not want to give anyone too much control over the show, this is why they keep going through directors.

My issue with this show even though I'm a huge fan of it, is that it keeps changing the people behind the scenes every season dramatically. Think of it as a great sports team with a different coaching staff every season. It's direction just keeps changing year after year. This is the most watched show in television history btw, it had 12.4 million viewers for the season finale which shattered any sort of record like it. The show, even for die hards like myself, has become unwatchable in the last few weeks.

The real season finale should have been the episode Killer Within, where T-dogg and Lori die and leave you on the edge of your seat. This season finale was an insult, it felt like a bad film with a bad ending.

[redzero]

No, it's not. Instead of watching shit like this, you can watch Breaking Bad or Mad Men.

Why is this show even popular anyway? I read the comic up to chapter 50 and lost interest. This show seems to have completely screwed up the comic for no reason, yet people keep watching it in droves. Why? Is it because of the zombies (which are played out at this point)? I know it's not because of the plot or characters, because almost all of you hate the plot and characters. The general consensus is that the show went downhill after the first season (some would even say after the pilot episode), yet it still gets gigantic ratings. This thread has more posts than the Breaking Bad and Mad Men, and people actually like those shows.

Where did all this goodwill come from?

Because it was an awesome show and has glimpses of being awesome from time to time.

People find different reasons to bitch tbh. I only had a major problem with the episode before Merle was killed. This show is not the best on TV but it sure as hell keeps me watching.
