Junkie has grown up a junkie. He has learned to survive in horrible conditions. That CAN be an asset in the post world. It wont always be, but it can. Thats as far as it goes, not sure why that is so debatable.
As far as a Morgan tease, i didn't watch any teases so that was irrelevant to me. Glad hes back though. I thought Alexandria was well done and made a lot of sense. The crew is learning how to be civil again after being forced to become animals slowly after the prison and fully after terminus. This next season I think they will settle down and relax a little bit more now that they will be leading Alexandria.
As far as personal attacks, its not a personal attack. You enjoy being a harsh critic of anything you can be, that's not a knock on you personally. Would you say that is not true? You are not a very harsh critic of television/movies and writing in general? The only posts I ever really see from you are in the movies and TV sections and a lot of them are about how bad a lot of stuff is
In Chap's defense, he is the only one banging the drum in favor of Pan.
And I gotta say, he is hardly in the minority on this one. Beyond the people in this thread, critics are killing this show.
I found this season to be idiotic and poorly written. The last episode may have been more entertaining but it wasn't by virtue of any quality story telling, it was entertaining like a riot or a car wreck. Most of our characters were unsympathetic and stupid, their actions seemed to be driven not by any real motivation other than to move the plot from point to point.
It really seemed like they missed the boat entirely. The first two episodes, while not great, seemed to be setting up a decent "watch society crumble" season. Then in episode 3... society is toast, we glossed over that, LA is empty and all we've got left is some obviously corrupt military dudes who bafflingly are playing protector to a neighborhood of people they plan to kill anyway.
My list of beefs goes a lot longer than that. But among the fresher ones, are we really supposed to believe Daniel wouldn't have beaten Travis within an inch of his life? Travis, in his whiny, wimpy ways nearly gets Daniel's daughter killed, yet Daniel seemed pretty chill about the whole thing moments later. Also, throughout the scenes in the compound Travis was touting a shotgun, he finally ends up in a chance to use it (and where it would make a ton of sense and make for a good story telling book end to when he wouldn't shoot that walked with the sniper rifle) and, poof the shotgun has vanished and he pounds the army dude with his fists. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Just frustrating. The only reason I lasted is because it was a mere 6 episodes. I will probably tune into the season primiere just to see what the plan is with the laughable CGI boat, but IMO they'd be better off wiping the slate clean and doing the "when it all began" story in another city with a different cast.
Oh, I do get the idea of Junkie Depp being useful though. He is a thief, he is conniving, manipulative and opportunistic, I get why Strand would want a guy like that indebted to him.
