Walking Dead

[Ironwood]

Yeah, sorry... I didn't realize that you guys were behind. I don't think I wrote anything too spoilery but don't take chance. And it really is that good an episode.

Well, I've watched it now and it was utter bullshit.

I'm kinda getting done on this show.  As someone else said, it's like a soap opera or reality TV at this stage and it's not that interesting.  Apart from the end, fuck all happened that was worth a damn.  And even that was done with so much 'this actor has better things to do, so we wrote him out.'

[Tannhauser]

Little thing that bugs me; Daryl has his tent way off alone.  If he's not scared of walkers why should I be? My point is that the farm has become too safe, even with the events of last week.  They're just camping out on Herschel's Farm.  When they were on the highway, scrounging for gas, fixing the cars, that was tense.  When Rick and Shane went off for their 18 mile trip, the show improved. 

I'm not bailing on it yet, will watch the rest of the season, but for sweet zombie Jesus, get off the farm.

[HaemishM]

Yeah, the farm thing has gone on WAY too fucking long. It was time to leave like 3 shows ago.

[MahrinSkel]

I'm pretty sure that's a consequence of the budget caps they inflicted on it (twice the episodes for half the money as the first season).  Traveling or urban scenes, or any scene with a lot of zombie screen time, costs a lot more than putzing around the farm having drama and seeing a zombie or two.  So most episodes that's what we've gotten.

Yup, this season really feels like it's done on the cheap. It's become really mediocre, really quickly, which is a crying shame because it started off so well.

[Threash]

It feels that way because it was, that was why Darabont left.

[Threash]

Shit just got real 

[Bunk]

Well, each to his own I guess, I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Everyone seems to want MOAR ZOMBIES! which I get, but at the same time, if you overdo that, you end up with this season of Spartacus - which is entirely MOAR MUTILATION! and seems to have lost some of the drama and intrigue of previous seasons.

Really, since the mid season break, Dale's episode and Sophia's funeral have really been the only ones without any major action sequences. You guys are probably going to hate tonight's as well, but from the looks of the trailers for next weeks, they saved all the zombie budget for the (somewhat predictable) season finale (next week).

Honestly, I look forward to this show more than I do Spartacus.

[angry.bob]

They're probaby going to be leaving the farm soon.

[Cheddar]

HEAD SHOT!

Almost a great episode.  The only thing that annoyed me was the awkward scene- cannot believe they left it in there.   

Guess we know who the new mechanic is now.

[Threash]

We should have a death pool for next episode.

[tazelbain]

If there was any justice they'd all die.

In my mind there is a much better version of this show in which T-dog and Jimmy have constant awesome zombie adventures mostly based around luring Carl out of the fucking house and into the woods again.

[Tebonas]

Wow, Lori really wanted Shane dead it seems. How she went and rekindled his hatred after she realized he could maybe reintegrate into the group was a shitty thing to to, put perfectly orchestrated. At least if she didn't care which of her men survived this.

Please show, you are on a roll. Kill her next.

[Thrawn]

If there was any justice they'd all die.

That would be a great way to end the show eventually, instead of some sappy thing where they find a secluded island or something.  Everyone dies, and not in some self-sacraficing heroic way or something, they are just over run and killed.

I thought she did that because she was too stupid not to say something that would set him off. You think she planned that? If so, FUCKED UP. I'm really starting to hate that character for either being too stupid or too cunning.

It can well be I gave her too much credit. She is a really stupid person otherwise, so that could easily just be the cherry on top of her stupidness pie instead of Maciavellian strategy. Since her last strategy was to plain out tell Rick to go kill Shane which wasn't subtle at all.

[Nevermore]

Double spoiled, for people who don't want to know what that pan up at the very end means for next season.

[KallDrexx]

I kind of want to read the comics now.  It would be nice to see how the season would have unfolded without retarded writing.

[angry.bob]

That fucking Lori...

[Tannhauser]

Oh man, that ending was great!

She's that fucking stupid.  She was in the comics and she is in this.

Both wife and I were shouting at the TV during her speech to Shane.

"Shane, thank God you're here and not quite as good as Rick.  I'm really sorry I hurt you because you weren't as good as Rick.  We really need you here, but just not as much as Rick.  Please, we need you.  ... ....  ...  Just a little bit less than Rick."

No wonder he went fucknuts.

Man, I thought what Lori said was kind of decent. Shows what I know.

[apocrypha]

So how long have they all been on that farm? Quite some time - since the start in the case of Hershel's group. And in all that time they didn't make a single plan for a rain(ing zombies) day? No meeting place, no tactics, no defences? No, they spend the whole time arguing about who's the most manly leader and not actually doing fuck all. Thank god Hershel had a shotgun which holds 45 cartridges, eh? That seemed to be their only defence worth shit.

Seriously, this lot are the worst zombie apocalypse survivors I've ever seen. They should have been brain-nommed months ago, the lot of them.

[Wasted]

As much as this season dragged on and annoyed me,

[Tebonas]

Chances are that mysterious stranger survived all on her own since the apocalypse and after the group is done with her she will be a walker and her Ninjacave will be a smoldering ruin. Thats their superpower.

[Ironwood]

Man, I thought what Lori said was kind of decent. Shows what I know.

Through a straightforward lens of 'chatting' it was.  However, Lori (and everyone else) should really, really know how badly Shane was hurting and what kind of effect that particular speech would have.

Seriously, it's like "Let's just be friends" times the power of a million, with added "that guy you envy, he's better than you in every way".

Further, Killing Otis and then Shaving His Fucking Head should have been the groups first clue that all was not well in Shaneland.  He should have been treated like sweaty gelignite the minute that happened.
