I'm excited for Silicon Valley but I can't get into GOT. I tried. Fantasy stuff doesn't really appeal to me, except occasionally in video game form.

Besides, 15th century England is uninteresting to me and that show is all rooted in the War of the Roses.

last nights episode wasn't terrible.

I revised my estimate.... dude aint gonna sell them
he is going to keep them as slave labor... his house in mexico is probably the compound of the drug lord he was smuggling cocaine for,...and they need people to work the fields so they all stay fed.

junkie depps sister looks to be becoming less worthless...not that she did anything,...she was just less annoying in the doing of it.

Chris with the mercy kill...... that young dude is gonna get hard fast,....and leave his daddy in the dust...much to daddys dismay.

anyone notice the youngsters being close to rebellion??

It was OK. Probably the least annoying episode of the season.

one thing I have kinda noticed.... FTWD,... clearly demonstrates a left coast bias in politics,lol.... have not really noticed any real leanings in TWD

pretty sad that Georgia can produce a better zombie show than Hollywood really.......

Huh? Hollywood IS producing this show, it just happens to be filmed in Georgia.

I don't know. Chris deciding to run off on his own like an idiot. Junkie Depp slipping and falling into a pit with a walker. Still had way too many annoying parts where I rolled my eyes. But yes it can be worse as we have seen many times before.

That's why I said least annoying. I mean they could not have telegraphed Junkie Depp falling into that pit anymore than they did. They basically put a neon sign saying.....yep.....dude is going to fall in.

Plus, they are on an open beach with a ton of water behind them....they get cornered?!!? Say what?!!??

Yeah that had me scratching my head as well. How the hell did they get cornered like that. It wasn't like the walkers were coming fast. They could have strolled down to the boat and still had time for a picnic before those walkers reached them.

That's my biggest issue with the show overall. Some shows have lazy writing, incoherent writing but I just can't get over stupid writing that makes your characters look even dumber then even you can imagine. Then you add icing to the cake by getting stellar writing like getting cornered on a beach?!?!!?

I understand it's a zombie show and you need to suspend belief but sometimes this show is ridiculous. LOL.

Yep. And with all of these dumb characters it makes you wonder in disbelief "how are these idiots not dead yet".

Depp says,"we need some new clothes."
No kidding. Now maybe he can stop wearing that old man jacket.

I thought FTWD was filmed in Scout's backyard(Pennsylvania)? Only the pilot was filmed in L.A. or am I wrong about that?

I enjoyed this episode, between this one and the last one I think it is finally getting legs. There were a few beach scenes that didn't mesh up but overall the show is finally interesting and characters are starting to develop appropriately.

Do you guys think they let the raft go? Or does the group stand up to strand?

the raft is gone...and it was the right thing to do... the boyfriend is gonna die, turn, and bite the chick in 24 hrs or less,...the extra drag costs more fuel..

I did find it funny as hell though...as she was just telling said boyfriend..."this is as bad as it gets, it gets better from here"....
then ,... BOOM set adrift in the ocean,...damn...it just got worse... that was funny.

i dont think they spent that entire airplane episode building her and this episode introducing her just to cut her off to sea and move on.

She was a great character in the airplane episode IMO so im hoping they get strand to stop and let her on board. She has more value than several of the current people on the boat.

I'm glad they arent just out to sea all the time, I thought that would be boring. Getting to stop at new locations consistently with the boat is proving entertaining. Looking forward to next week. I wonder if this show will have a break or will be 15 weeks straight?

Another eye rolling moment - when they finally get to the raft, girl hugs her brother for an eternity and everyone watches rather than drag the boat to the water.

Still Junkie Depp....just Junkie Depp with one good scene. How obvious was it though that those were the people tracking them? Just stupid they let them on the boat. Did anybody really think it wasn't them?

Which scene? The blood scene? Strands friend seems pretty badass

Lol the kid didn't. I didn't really consider it either honestly, the end was gratifying though. I'm still amazed they didn't stop for the Asian girl after the last episode. Only two comments after this episode so maybe I'm a minority but I think as of episode two, this show is finally good. Looking forward to more
