Luvcow posted:daniel solo episode was amazing It's honestly one of my favorite episodes of television. Actually season 3 of FTWD is one of my favorite seasons of TV in general. I remember caping for S2 because, despite its many flaws, I enjoyed watching it way more than S6 of the main show. I remember saying on social media that if they could fix some of their problems with pacing, and tighten up the writing just a little, it would probably be my favorite show currently on the air. In S3 they did everything I wanted and then some, and yeah... it really did become my favorite show for a little while, and then after that... hostile takeover. I was open minded and everything up until the last couple episodes of 4a, but I'm out now. I gave up after the MSF. I haven't even watched the MSP and I don't think I will, or any episode after (except maybe episode 12, which is gonna be directed by Colman Domingo (Strand)). I caped so loving hard for this show when everyone else thought it was poo poo, like "Just wait until AMC realizes this show can't survive on a $6 budget; season 3 is gonna be fire." Gimple & the new showrunners should have been following more closely to the reviews S3 was getting, not the ratings. The ratings were the lowest of the series because AMC strangled production of the first two seasons in multiple ways and it showed in the episodes and reflected in the ratings. No one was expecting S3 to be good, let alone as good as it was. Acacia REI fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Aug 20, 2018 |

If that scene was supposed to be sweet and sentiment they hosed up so bad. Like I was tensing up the whole time waiting for a gun to just enter the side of the frame. This whole episode was a total mess. Like Alicia getting on Charlie's case about how she was garbage and would never ever be worth anything. Like holy poo poo Alicia, you must have lived a literal redemption arc of your mother because she WAS A LITERAL MONSTER then turns into a "No one is gone til their gone" angel. The woman you are idolizing so much did a ton of really heinous poo poo. Like have a little compassion for the literal child who killed someone who had just murdered her adoptive parent. Like ok yeah be sad and mad, but maybe just a touch of understanding? I dunno. It just rang super false. And thank god for the magic zombie that managed to break heavy metal doors and the chain locking them down, then rolling over off the doors so people could use them. The real hero. This storm story plot is such a wasted oppourtunity. There is no reason to have had to separate everyone. In fact, a much better story would have been having everyone be separate before the storm (more so than currently). Then have all the characters basically seek shelter from the storm as it gets worse in the mansion. Then have the story just be "Heroes vs the Storm" because even with everyone acting rational and logical a storm will still make insane stuff happen they need to combat. You don't need artificial drama when you could have had a ton of organic drama unfold from a bunch of people not terrible happy with each other forced into a smallish space while also dealing with the threats from the outside. I basically just described Night of the Living Dead But With A Storm Too, and you know what? That'd have been just fine with me.

I mean she had just shown that she is very skilled combatant capable of killing zombies 2 at a time with random houshold ornaments in the previous scene, but taking on an unlocked car door that you've chosen to smash in your own face for no good reason is a whole nother level.

Also it would make more sense during the suicide scene if alicia would repeat the madison thing of "you're not gone until you're gone" as a reason for not shooting but instead we get a jumpcut of madison with a flare and strand swinging a torch around

Finally got through all of season three. Haven't read anything about season four other than a spoiler on a news article that Alicia was the only Clark left, and in this read I accidentally read that Strand was still alive. So throughout the entire finale I was waiting for both Madison and Nick to kick it. When Nick did the whole blow up the drat thing and subsequently Madison, Strand, and Alicia were being sucked into the breach I thought that Madison was gonna end up dying here to save Alicia but I guess she doesn't die until the next season. Now that I think about it, I don't remember them showing Nick dying/his body so he's probably still alive too unless I just forgot. The thing about being stuck in the pantry, I don't get why they didn't just use the guts of the deceased to just waltz right on out of there. Like either zombie armor exists and it should be used in every occasion, or it doesn't exist: pick one. It's really annoying how the characters have collective amnesia about it until the plot requires it and then it's treated as a last resort/get out of jail card. Why they aren't covered in guts 24/7 or have ghillie suits made of zombie parts doesn't make any sense to me. I have mixed feelings about Strand. On the one hand they try so so hard to make his actions look ambiguous to get you to distrust him, but on the other hand he's been the Clark's most helpful ally hasn't he? Even with the dam thing, he took extra measures to ensure Madison wasn't murdered. He didn't do the same for Nick, but I feel like his plan was that Nick would have joined them into going to the dam in the first place, and that he would have sent them both off before the murder crew rolled in. Troy was also a mixed bag. His actions were repulsive and reprehensible for sure, but I feel like the Troy we met at the output and the Troy we met at the ranch and afterwards were two totally different people. I always figured he wouldn't last the season so it wasn't much of a surprise that he was offed, but I thought that they were setting him up for some kind of self-sacrifice/redemption. Madison is probably the worse of them. I get that she wants to protect her family, but she wants to protect them at all cost and gives no shits about anybody else or the consequences of her actions. I'm getting really tired of the mama bear routine to be honest. I agreed with Strand that her actions like giving up bargaining chips and depending on the generosity of others in this hosed up world were just plain dumb and naive. I feel like if Strand had to kill Madison he would have given two thoughts about it and would have been conflicted, but if Madison had to shoot Strand she would have just pulled the trigger because gently caress you got mine. Overall about the show, I'm not really sure how this show is different from The Walking Dead except with a different family, and that the family are basically "civilians" (compared to Rick's murdercrew). Like, they could have put this show as the subplot of TWD and it would feel the exact same. I thought FtWD was suppose to go more into details about how the zombies came to be and how civilization collapsed based on something I read a while ago, but maybe I just remembered wrong. Does Morgan from TWD show up in the first episode of season four?

Boris Galerkin posted:Does Morgan from TWD show up in the first episode of season four? Yeah, the first episode picks up from where the last episode of TWD left off. The new showrunners pretty clearly would rather not be writing for FtWD so season 4 is essentially a soft reboot. Once they finish offing the original cast they’ll have a whole new show.

Also, I just felt like FtWD was continuously improving, like the showrunner knew how to take criticism and was willing to listen to the viewers whereas TWD mostly just road the coattails of Darabont's amazing season 1 and got lucky with season 5. Boris Galerkin posted:I thought FtWD was suppose to go more into details about how the zombies came to be and how civilization collapsed based on something I read a while ago, but maybe I just remembered wrong. It was however supposed to focus on the downfall of civilization, but that got skipped over because Kirkman wouldn't let the showrunner do anything he actually wanted to do and the executives were pressuring him to move the timeline along, so the downfall of society became "9 days later" and we got a weird family drama instead.

Yeah I thought they would focus more on the time between the first zombies being reanimated through to when cities started being firebombed including why and how those decisions were made. Anyway so what you’re saying is that season 4 might just as well be TWD? I didn’t really like the newer seasons at all.

Besides being reluctant to show the origins or science behind the virus, Kirkman also seems very reluctant to show the high level decisions as the world ended. Which is why the foray into Washington could be neat, as long as it's not just a cool setpiece of Post Apoc Porn.

It's just we already have a show about "group of people trying to survive in a zombie filled world." If it were a different show, set in a different universe, that's one thing. But this is the same exact universe as TWD so I just don't see a point in showing the exact same story from the perspective of a different group of people, doing the same things.

This episode was garbage, I was going to list a bunch of the more obvious stuff. I'll keep it to just one cause I don't have the time. Morgan slept through many many hours (up to a couple days) in the back of a truck as it traveled from Texas to Mississippi. Who the gently caress thought that was a good way to get the plot to move?
