So that's Season One of FTWD finished, and in all fairness the last episode was a cracker. HOWEVER - ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Good episode though, sets up for Season Two quite nicely. |

Yeah, that was alright I suppose, even if there was a shit ton of drama cliches along the way and some pretty terrible scenes of supposed heightened drama. The Walking Dead-lite by any standards. Kinda like The Walking Dead for people who don't like The Walking Dead. |

Well they did manage an entire episode with no zombies in it, so it's possible that's the idea.... I noticed that the episodes flitted between TV-14 and TV-MA, with the TV-14 episodes really being rather tame, whereas TWD is solid TV-MA through and through. Hopefully they'll dispense with TV-14 entirely for the next season of FTWD, and we'll get proper zombie gore every episode. |

FTWD kinda works for me in the sense that you get some zombie-related stuff to watch in between while waiting for another season of TWD, which should be starting today if I'm not mistaken. |

I also came across those pictures/video. She does look quite young, but she's actually 30. Without wishing to be harsh on the lovely lady, she's more attractive in her music videos than in MoS. |

So S06E01 of TWD was pretty good I suppose, I'll give it a 7/10. Decent amount of zombie action going on which is more than you can say for FTWD so far, although I'm not really sold on the entire premise of the episode. (Or indeed the whole Memento style COLOUR/BLACK WHITE scenario.) ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Overall I'd say neither FTWD or TWD are particularly firing me up (TWD is well past its best IMO), but they're worth the time it takes to watch them, and Episode Two does at least promise some very splattery zombie hijinks. Finally, it took me a while to remember what the fuck everyone was up to at the end of Season Five, it was one of those rare occasions when PREVIOUSLY ON THE WALKING DEAD would have been quite good, but nothing was forthcoming apart from a couple of very brief flashbacks. |

Not exactly high quality dialogues either. They seem to follow a certain pattern like: "Ya good?" "Yeah, I'm good." "Naw ya not." "Told ya I'm fine!" "These walkers are out there, we gotta stop 'em." "We can't, it's too risky." "But we have to!" 'OK, everybody do as Rick says!" |

Oh yeah, about that massive horde of undead in the ditch or quarry (or whatever it was) - instead of luring them out they could have grilled them. A few Molotov cocktails would have done the trick. |

I'd have given that a go beforehand. Would have thinned out the horde at least. |

2000 maybe, but all crammed in that ditch, so for the moment they couldn't really go anywhere. Flame a few and they'll set each other on fire, sort of like a chain reaction. |

I used the spoiler tags for my post about S06E01, (which was the first to this thread about it), nobody else thereafter seemed to bother, and no one complained, so I didn't think there was a problem. (And even then I spaced out my post substantially with a clear indication that everything below the line contained unspoilered discussion about what happened in Episode One, which I felt didn't go much beyond anything that had already been said.) Hopefully the zombie apocalypse will happen for real soon, and we'll and be part of the horde anyway, so it'll cease to matter. Unless we end up being net-browsing zombies with a penchant for arguments about stuff that doesn't matter much. |

What I mean by 'once it got going' is that I really wanted to see what happened directly after the end of Episode One, since Episode One was traditionally what you call a CLIFFHANGER, and storytelling convention with CLIFFHANGERS is that the next instalment picks up where the previous one left off.

Cheers chaps some decent ideas there. I do wonder how much stuff they're expecting us to remember and/or notice? Certainly when they're referencing someone/something from a previous episode or even [i]season[i], it's a bit of a stretch to expect folks to cotton onto everything. It's not just me either, the chap at work who's into it was the same as me for the first episode of Season Six, couldn't even immediately remember who was dead or alive at the end of Season Five. Another chap at work who's into it is deliberately waiting until Season Six has finished, and then he'll just splurge on the whole lot. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |
