There's a reason this (link to an image) is in spoilers. Don't look if you don't want to be spoiled

So.... just as an aside I watched "The Mist".
I felt like I was watching an episode of The Walking Dead. (Mostly because three actors from The Mist are also in The Walking Dead.)

The Mist was also written and directed by Darabont.

And it was also a heaping pile of shit because the screenplay differed from the short, in almost every negative way possible. Ending was terrible, just terrible.

Awww, really? I liked The Mist quite a bit, and thought the ending was delightfully fucked up. You don't get shit like that in Hollywood outside of the Twilight Zone normally. Granted, I have't read the short, but I still liked the movie a lot.

I agree with the worst episode yet. It was completely lame and solved nothing except making me want to bitch-slap people around for their idiocy. There's only 3 episodes left (2 after tonight) so it can't really get too much worse than that, and hopefully the previews indicate SOMETHING actually happens.

From what I've read, Thomas Jane from The Mist was originally offered the role of Rick Grimes, but turned it down, and worked on HBO's Hung instead. It could've been an even bigger reunion engineered by Darabont.

Ok, that was easily the worst episode of this show to date. I'd take a Season 2 talkfest episode over this cavalcade of bad clichés.
It would probably be faster to just list the things I actually liked about this one:
Glen Mazzara is listed as one of the writers of this episode. He's the now the second ex-showrunner. The new one for Season 4 is Scott Gimple, who's listed as the writer for the next episode. It'll be interesting to compare, keeping in mind that the overall plot still has to follow Mazzara's 'vision'.

Four, Sam Witwer from Being Human played the dead soldier inside the tank in season 1. Darabont had planned a "Black Hawk Down" with zombies prequel about the fall of Atlanta starring him.

Or it seen as further misogyny from the writers, female character repeating acts random and stupid and slutty until she is deeply unpopular then she will be punished and killed for a "gets what she deserves" catharsis.

This. The episode was a completely circular waste of screen time to stretch out a season. Andrea's continued idiocy is just SO rage-inducing. SO MUCH STUPID.

That was possibly the worst episode they've ever done. It was like watching a completely different show.

You know in anime, you get to a point where an episode is so bad, so pointless, that you just scrub it from your mind. This was that episode. Complete, utter filler.

I disagree. The 60 seconds of the governor laying out his implements of destruction was worth it.
It was only 59 minutes of filler.

I disagree. Though creepy, it just left me puzzled. I mean, we knew the Governor was fucked up, but they seem to be taking great pains to show JUST HOW FUCKED UP he is and to hit the audience over the head with LOOK AT ME I'M EVILLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's overkill. Keeping the heads in a jar was enough. Killing the army guys including the chopper pilot was enough. By now, we KNOW he's evil. We don't need Snidely Whiplash Saw Torture Pr0n levels of evil. We don't need zombie pit fights. We get it. We can't root for him at all. Everything they've done to humanize him as someone who "just wants to create a safe place for his people" is totally undermined by all those things piled on. It's taken what could be an interesting, conflicted character into cardboard cutout.

I got more of a "used to be a psychopath gyno and then I was only secretly crazy and now I'm back to what I used to be before ww:z" kind of vibe.

We were never meant to root for him. I didn't see anything done to humanise him. He has never wanted to create a safe place for his people. He has never been a conflicted character, just a sick fuck. The thing with his daughter was just more of his sickness. I don't know what the comic book version is like, but the TV version has consistently been portrayed as a single-minded psychopath. The only people meant to believe he's got any redeeming factors are the citizens of Woodbury. We are meant to know he's fooling them, not be like them. It supposed that we are watching is the evolution from benevolent dictator to psychopath.
But he's never been a benevolent dictator. He was a fake from the start. He's only ever been using Woodbury, in the way a psychopath manipulates people and treats them as disposable.

Exactly this. And Rick's speech toward the end was supposed to be the thing that highlighted this the most.

The problem I had with Rick's speech at the end is now he's completely flipped from how season 2 ended. Is the group a democracy again?

Yeah. He said as much in the speech. Something along the lines of, "All that shit I said after the farm was dumb."

And for once he was right. Shane might have been a total dick but he was absolutely correct in every single thing him and Rick disagreed on, apart from the whole wanting Lori thing were both were wrong in wanting the stupid bitch.

I do too. I think I am just able to suspend my disbelief because I figure that people would not be acting rationally you know, because apocalypse and all. I didn't read the comic though so maybe that has something to do with it?

No. I like it a lot. Does it have its faults? Yes. It's still damn good TV watching as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not feeling it this season. Dialog stupid. Plot stupid. Focus each week seems to be on how gross killing zombies can be.
I never read the comic either. I just think that this is the worst season of this show.
