Every time I watch this talky, whiny POS I root for the zombies. The characters are unlikeable whiny babies. The premise of the show is beyond nihilist; the premise is that humans are so lovely there is no way they can live alone or with others. Be on our own and try to make a go of it as rugged individualists? You'll die! Band together and try to live? You'll die! (Probably at the hands of our "heroes," who delight in killing as many living humans as they can whenever they find a working settlement.). It's all wrapped in turgid melodrama, stuffed with endless gabbing. I hate this show so much.

no it makes more sense to first recognize that the zombies get trapped in the quarry and that's why you don't have too many zombies attacking your settlement, and then decide to herd the zombies out of the quarry to ? because for some reason that's better than just blocking the rod out of the quarry and letting it trap zombies for you

:agreed:

It's also allowing them to teach inhabitants of the town survival skills. Yeah some, likely all by the end of the season, will die but that's the price the community will pay for their own survival.

It's real dumb and it's kind of like Psych, I like it. Yeah also that zombie girl is ridiculous good looking as a zombie. I wouldn't be surprised if she kept that look off camera because it works so hard.

the crazy little girl that was friends with zombies and tried to turn her sister into a zombie was the best and scariest "villain" character ever on The Walking Dead, and had so much potential because obviously you don't want to kill a traumatized little kid even if she is loving nuts but she was so dangerous that it created a interesting dilemma

and of course they did absolutely nothing with her character and killed her off like right away

There was nowhere else to go with that girl. That was one of the best episodes because they set something up and then actually resolved it in a dramatically satisfying manner.

I would suggest watching the yourmoviesucksdotorg review of the walking dead because it's kinda funny, but it turns out that this particular gay furry redditor is a canadian so you're better off blocking his channel.

they could have stretched her storyline out much longer though because she was one of the only characters that was genuinely interesting and scary; any time she showed up you knew that some creepy poo poo was going to happen. They could have played off the idea that her insanity wasn't her fault and that she was a kid that had a bunch of horrible poo poo happen to her and made it all way more dramatic


they dragged the dumbass governor storyline out forever even though his whole scenario was so unrealistic and comic bookish; nobody would have followed that dude anywhere let alone go into battle against strangers on his behalf right after they meet him.

I would. I mean sucks you know she's a kid but also clearly mentally deranged in a very dangerous way and it's not like there's a facility nearby you can send her to for professional therapy.

Just take her on a walk in the woods like you'd take a dog becoming rabid.

If you don't next thing you know she's going to be opening the gates and letting the zombie horde in because hey friends.

I agree with you 100%. The Governor setting was all horseshit. The whole drama was unrealistic and completely deviated from the theme of the series.

They could have had a rift form between the survivors between the people who want to just kill her and the people who want to try and fix her somehow. Would have been cool but iirc she just got merc'd by some random zombie after a few scenes of survivors shenking dozens of zombies through the eye and instantly killing them like ninjas.

You ever notice that sometimes like one or two people will chop apart a horde of zombies without breaking a sweat, and then sometimes, usually the same episode, they'll run into another group of zombies that's like half as big and be all like, "OH NO TOO MANY ZOMBIE!"

I like the repeated scene in which they find a random group of humans getting eaten by zombies. The humans also put no real fight or attempt to run away.

yeah it's p bad but i've seen most of the episodes... ill wait for a season to end then inevitably one day ill be really bored and watch and it is entertaining enough when you can fast forward through obvious boring scenes and skip entire episodes.

the comics are really bad too esp the dialogue (i don't really read comics that often maybe all comics have terrible dialogue?). hope the show gets to the part wheer nagan brains glenn to death with his barbed wire club thing and carl getting his eye blasted out cause i am interested in seeing what they do with that on the show. they already pussed out on rick losing a hand for "budget reasons"
