The Walking Dead (AMC)

Its almost as if the writers are running out of material.

You realize the show is based on a comic, right? And it resembles that comic at about an 80% rate. So, trust me when I say this, they are not running out of material. As for the other 20%, it is a difference in a couple of character existing, order of who dies and when they die, and then slight tweaks to the overall events.

I know they are not running out of material. But the way the shows are so slow and dragging, it seems that way.

Just because it's based on a comic doesn't mean they need to follow the comic to a tee. Television and comic books are just so different. I would say that it needs to resemble the comics at about the 60% rate if the comics were this slow and draggy.

Am I the only one thinking that they're going to introduce us to the Hunters?

After last nights epsiode, I have no clue what they are doing, but I will say it my one of my favorite episodes of the series. It reminded my of a classic horror movie at time.

OK, I am going to disagree a bit. Aside from the fog scene which was damn cool and very intense....another standalone type episode IMO. If I see one more episode with someone finding the tracks or walking down the track to get to Terminus I am going to get annoyed. This seems like obvious filler type stuff to me as of late.

Sort of feels like the writers are saying....OK...Episode 1 - Group A finds tracks to Terminus. Episode 2 - Group B finds track to Terminus...Episode 3 - Group C finds track to Terminus.....etc. OK OK we get it. Move on.

I liked this episode more than the last two. Maybe it's cause they didn't show Rick moping around idk.

I didn't understand what happened to Beth...did she get kidnapped? And Daryl's joining some biker gang now?

Next episode looks intense. I think one of the little girls with Carol gets bit...but it's not the little bi**h girl that tried to suffocate Judith and did some other psychopath like stuff, it's the other innocent one.

Well, the announcement that there are only 3 episodes left in the season kind of blows the idea of either Nagan or the Hunters with the exception of an introduction but the reason why I'm thinking the Hunters is...

The whole funeral home with it being clean and the food being new smelt of a trap but the conundrum is you have food, why trap living people in order to eat them?

Daryll is running low on arrows.

OMFG, just kill these two kids already.

They did. Powerful episode. As annoying as the kids were they were still kids. But it was a great character study of Carol and Tyreese and the hopelessness the situation really is. This was one of the best and most powerful episodes this show has ever aired. It spoke volumes. Kudos to the production team for this episode.

 

[sunsfan88]

Yea that was just a great episode. That girl was just a psycho, it was obvious from the time when she tried to suffocate Judith.

Comic spoiler ahead

Spoiler

I thought Carl was going to be the one to end up killing the crazy girl. In the comic there is a similar set of boys where one is a psycho and Carl ends up killing him because no one else would do it. It's the first time Carl really becomes ruthless.

I think they are going to continue to go more and more away from the comic so when they catch up, they can go down a different path. Plus it keeps is just different enough to keep the comic readers guessing. I thought they did a great job with the twist from the comic and with the episode overall.

Carol and Daryll characters kick ass. The rest, not so much.

 

[Stout]

They ended up settling it in a cool manner. Decent episode. The problem is, they've introduced 5, 365 story lines, and are giving almost no time to each of them. Why bother introducing story lines you cannot possibly do well?

 

[Covert Rain]

One of the best episodes in a very long time. Seriously powerful IMO. We have seen similar fates with other characters but have any left you more empty after this episode? The silent stare between both characters at the table after....just said it all for me.

Holy @$@#. I will say the downside here is that in every single season, one of next to last couple episodes has eclipsed the season finale for me. This might be be the case with this episode or the next. The finale episode every season so far has been blah. I don't see how they are going to top this episode or the next for the finale but I could be wrong.

most emotionally moving episode in 2 seasons

 

[NJCardFan]

OK, I'm confused. Who the F is Mary? And while I've been enjoying getting to know the characters a little at a time, this stringing us along is getting ridiculous.

They have already said that their not going to follow the comics completely. They are going to add and remove certain things and characters.

 

[sunsfan88]

Great episode though. Kinda interesting that Daryl is with the group that's looking to kill his best friend Rick.

Glad that everything worked out for Glenn and Maggie. Terminus looks too good to be true though..there's gotta be a catch in there.

Still absolutely no word on Beth's disappearance.

They have a lot of questions to answer and just one more episode to do it. Season finale next week.

Walking Dead's been doing this for a while now. They drag their stuff out for 3/4 of the season and then hurry through it in the final quarter. Why not just spread it all out equally?

I'm starting to think that Beth was taken by The Saviors.

OK, this explained nothing. It speculated which is all we can do. As is typical with the producers of this show they're probably changing the storyline and adding new characters. I still think it's the Saviors only because the car in which Beth was abducted had a cross on the back window.

As for last night's episode, anyone else notice a zombie that looked like Bub from Land of the Dead?

Are you an instant gratification type? Just attempted to let you and others know that you weren't the only one wondering.
