They gotta stop with the one character a week episode thing. Gimple please watch Game of Thrones and see how to do intersecting storylines. I even liked this episode though I forgot Tara existed and I don't remember who the black dude was, but gently caress I'm tired of nothing happening until the finales.

Ezekiel's whole story/kingdom is weird, odd, and yet understandable. It's why I love Z-Nation so much.

Seriously watch Z-Nation.

Z Nation is just so loving bad that I can't even get through the first episode. I just started watching Forensic Files instead.

I can understand this, but the first episode is a pilot. Try at least a few episodes. I'm watching Humans and I got such a Westworld vibe I about gave it up, now I'm hooked.

I kept thinking more interesting things would happen, like a shift in focus from the original group toward people on the front lines or on the exploration frontier as people from the original group died off or took on leadership roles that would realistically be boring most of the time. Kirkman said in the "letters to the editor" section that there would be more exploration of things like setting up a post-apocalypse judicial system. It looked like the feud between Rick and Maggie over hanging Gregory after he tried to poison Maggie or things like Rick embracing "SILENCE THE WHISPERS" propaganda tactics could lead to someone walking the villain path and a civil war. Instead the the Saviors are attacking again, which makes sense for them but is boring.

Just watch Z Nation

No one is saying Z Nation is Breaking Bad, but it's a fun show with campy elements. And the most important thing is you actually care for the crew you follow, because it's clear they're having a blast.

Also poo poo happens every episode, that's another big difference.

This show sucks and I hope we get a new show called Negan n' the walking dead where we watch him grow his mongol hordes until they ride horseback across north america and he personally is responsible for a certain percentage of births (consentually because he's so cute and carismatic, of course)

But I know this can't happen because this comic sucks and just basically rips off whatever was popular 3 years ago (we're currently in the game of thrones period).

I'll probably still watch it when it hits streaming. I pretty much hate watch both shows at this point, but they remain entertaining if nothing else.

FTWD is such a weird show in that 90% of the characters actions is so baffling it feels like a fever dream to watch sometimes. I don't think anyone who's watched TWD at all is a stranger to yelling "why did you do that!?" at the TV, but FTWD is whole nother beast.

This is just one of many things but look at the Mexican mansion plot line. I can't think of one good reason that they blew the place up. it's total nonsense. The main characters are consistently the villains, but the show doesn't seem to realize this at all.

I honestly don't know. Madison really seems to me to be coming off as unhinged and villain-like, whoever compared her to Cersei I can see spot on, especially if her kids are killed at some point. The other ones I agree with you, but I really feel Madison is being written as a maniac who will kill the whole world for her family.

The last shot of Rick under the tree with stained-glass, sweat level 80%- what was that? It seemed familiar but last season was long ago and was overwritten in my brain with other trash in intervening months.

I mean if there weren't so much IRL corroboration of Carl leaving I'd be thinking it meant the whole Carl death was a fever dream. But then so would be the assault. But then Carl managed a sunny last day of letter writing in the day before the war so I don't even know what I'm watching anymore.

The way they deal with time in this show is loving nauseating. All these flashbacks, different timelines, fever dreams, camera closeups staring at actor's loving eyes all the drat time.

So aside from canning the old FTWD showrunner, they apparently got rid of all the writers from last season too. You know, the ones that they just brought in last season who made it a watchable and compelling show.
