That must be hard to implement? My nephew is almost 15, my brother and his wife think they have all their kids internet access nailed down with some app. The other weekend we were all away for my parents 70th birthday, my nephew was telling me how he can watch most of the stuff he has blocked on Youtube, mostly 18+ game trailers, Its the same at work, if I try to look at a new game review its blocked but not on Youtube. My brother was also convinced that they when the kids went back to their rooms they only played games on their tablets, there was free wi-fi with no password in the hotel, something my nephew caught onto after 5 minutes! I didn't say anything as his is a well balanced sensible kid, also I have used to help my sister in law with stuff like then find out she just went and did her own thing so I stay out of it now. Not look forward to having to manage this for my kids, my son is 3 and all over Youtube, the way I manage this is to ensure that all that's ever looked at it is Thomas stuff so that all he ever gets for suggested videos, I still go back every 10 minutes to check he isn't off the reservation! |

A few months ago the Grimlet (who is 8) proudly showed me that he could watch any YouTube video regardless of the kiddie-safe software if he imported it into Word. The only thought running through my head was "It begins." |

Since the Down on the Farm series, it's made a decent stab at exploring how people might get by (at best, all are just doing that), and the different stratagies to do this. A decent move away from the old testament tales it tried to earlier tell. The Big E is superb. And has a tiger. Which, presumably, eats apples. |

Carol and Morgan are two of my absolute favourite characters, so I really enjoyed the episode. A nice change of pace, but keeping the menace right there. Sure, they're doing well, but they're under Negan's control just like everyone else. |

I felt that was a reasonable episode, at least there was a bit of interesting character stuff going on and some half-decent yapping. Also it had precisely the correct number of tigers in it for TWD episode, which is, of course, fucking none at all. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

Author: | Hearthly [ Mon Nov 14, 2016 23:41 ] |
Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
It's unremittingly grim though now really, isn't it? That was basically just an hour of psychopathic abuse, backed up with the constant threat of murderous violence. Negan is played well enough but he's a bit one-note, and I'm getting fed up with him doing that arching of the shoulders thing and big friendly grin before he issues yet another deadly threat. Yes, we've seen him cave heads in already, I'm sure he'll do it again, go Lucille! TBH I'm starting to think he's a waste of a very talented actor. I find it hard to believe there's any actual enjoyment to be gleaned from watching this anymore, and to be quite frank I'd be rather concerned about anyone who does. Which part of Negan in particular do you find to be 'fantastic'? I know we can all enjoy a good baddie to root for the good guys to triumph against in the end, but having watched Donald Fucking Trump just win the US presidential election, watching a fictional psycho winning isn't exactly ringing my bells. I mean, what do Rick and friends do now? Out-violence them? Out-psycho them? Either way it just seems to be reducing humanity to bestial, hideous, primal brutality - when was the last time TWD actually tried to show us some sort of hope? |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
I love the way he cheerfully torments Rick, knowing full well he is in control. I like his adherence to a the view that jobs should be done properly and the delighted malevolence he regularly displays. I like the way he purposfully says the most terrible things to people because he can. And those teeth, my god those teeth. He is a superb pantomime villain. Could not be done better. The past few episode have had to be terribly traumatic, the heroes (good) must be at their lowest point before they muster up to defeat the baddies so we can feel happy again. And it has been done well. Except Carl who is still alive. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Bloody love Negan. JDM is one of my favourite actors and he's nailing it. The show is meant to be bleak. That's sort of the point. And whereas the group have had issues before, there's always been the belief that of course Rick can come up with a plan to win, or Darryl can kick some ass or whatever. So now we've got a situation where the group are losing hope. Is there anything that can be done? Well, I don't expect the show to just be Rick And Friends Grow Food For Negan for the rest of its life, so yeah, something will happen. Maybe hope lies with Morgan and Carol? Or Ezekial? Or Maggie? |

Latest episode was pretty grim, not for gore, but by seeing Rik's group totally subservient to Negan. Also Rik is just totally changed and is beaten down and accepting that Negan is in charge. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

Such as he was a nice happy family guy, shit went down, he got beat up badly early doors, then vowed to be stronger and the power kept building. I miss (R)evolution. Well, the girl anyway. |

It's about Rulick, not Neagen. Neagen is cunning. He can get more onboard by undermining Rick than offing people. That is why he done it. And those teeth! |

Yes I genuinely couldn't work out what the hell they were, so as the credits rolled as I was none the wiser. Thing is, I didn't even consider for one second that they would be the mattresses, as destroying them MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE WHATSOEVER. LIKE MOST OF THIS PROGRAMME. |

It does make sense though. Why let your angry town get decent rest if you're trying to manipulate them? It's making Neagan's job easier. |
