Thoroughly average episode, surely? ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! It'll get 45 minutes a week out of me when it's on air, but even that's just because I really like zombie stuff. The show is pretty crap, in all honesty. (I stopped watching Dexter because that got boring and samey and crap and it turns out I won't watch serial killer entertainment just for the sake of it, but zombies get a pass, so I'll stick with TWD. FTWD is the better bet out of the two at the moment I reckon,) |

I should probably get round to watching the previous episode at some point so I can pick up with the new one. I really enjoy TWD when I sit down to watch it but, for some reason, I often find myself lagging behind and not feeling like firing it up. |

I thought BB was great, although it got a bit baggy towards the end. TWD is on the whole very good. Maybe I'm biased, as I love the comics,but it's still every bit as much worth watching as it ever was. |

Episode 10 was entertaining enough although the stunning stupidity of the main characters continues to astound me.... ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! That said it was a reasonable episode, enough going on to keep it interesting, and the new character is intriguing. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! EDIT TO ADD on the STUPIDITY - ZOMG Spoiler!

It was ace. Also "law of averages" had a lot to do with it. they were acting that way to break a bad run. Which is why they kept saying it. |

It's like a gambler who gets a big win and then stays at the table instead of just walking away. There's just no level on which I can buy into this interpretation. These people are supposedly the 'best of the best', the 'TWD World' is the most brutal realisation of Darwinism imaginable, the penalty for making mistakes is literally getting eaten, or killed by what other humans remain, so the people left at this stage of the outbreak are by definition as good as it gets in survival. As such the idea that they just keep getting away with utter bone-headedness like last week's idiocy ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Daryl is just too damn good at surviving zombie-geddon for me to believe his character would have done that with the truck, so the entire episode past that point felt false and forced, because all the time I'm thinking 'You two chaps would be back at Alexandria by now, sharing out the toothpase, if the writers weren't so fucking lazy'.

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Episode 11 was better I thought, and it seems the events of Episode 10 will at least lead into interesting new territory. Still far too many characters to really keep invested in all of them though, to the extent I genuinely forget what some of them were up to the last time they had any significant amount of screen time. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! No change overall though, I'll peg it at 6-7/10 most weeks, sometimes dropping down to a 5, or up to an 8 or 9 for the extended 'Morgan' episode of Episode Four of this season for example. (And case in point of course, they put all that work into Morgan and then you hardly see the chap for weeks. There's too much dilution of the roster.) |

How come you don't stop watching it? I'd have given up long ago if I thought it was an average or even an above average show - I've just got so much non-average shit to watch. |

I thought the first season showed some promise to begin with, but when characters in any programme start acting like fuckwits simply to push the plot along, it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time watching. Having said that, in a fit of having nothing to watch a couple of years ago I downloaded seasons 2 and 3 largely because of you lot spunking over it like a bunch of priapic jocks practising for the bukkake world championships. It's still shit and you lot are a bunch of taste free cretins I'm not bitter... |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
@Grim... and DBSnappa Part of it is because it's gone off the boil over an extended period of time, Season One was fantastic and whilst the quality definitely slipped from Season Two onwards it was still great. I can't remember when I first got the feeling it'd slipped into 'above average' territory, Season Four or Five maybe? However by this point IIRC I was up to date so it was only an investment of 45 minutes per week when it was on air, and (a) It's still good enough and (b) I'm still interested in it enough - to make it worth watching. Also of course, (c) zombies, and I fucking love most anything to do with zombies and the whole post-apocalypse world scenario. As I said the other day, I don't watch much telly, maybe two or three episodes of 'something' per week, and I'll try and get a film or two in as well, so TWD fits into that model pretty well. I'm aware there's supposedly all this fantastic stuff out there, but it'd have to displace a large amount of videogame playing in my free time, and that ain't gonna happen. Also it's a family thing, at this moment in time for example I'm typing this post (obviously), but I've got Hearthstone running, and Mrs Hearthly and Hearthly Jnr are questing in WoW together in the same room (we've deliberately got all our main computers in the same room), so me planting myself on the sofa and putting a programme/film on wouldn't be very polite (and quite possibly very unsuitable content for Hearthly Jnr). I will watch the latest episode of Better Call Saul once they're upstairs though. (Which won't be until around 8:30-9PM, so just about right to watch an hour of telly before starting to wind down for bed, after a few more games of Hearthstone.) |

I can relate a bit, I find the TWD to be consistently promising but just as consistently disappointing. Watched it up to now but not bothered with this half of the season that's currently on, not sure if we will or not, there would need to be a real dearth of anything else. |

Cras wrote: I think the point is more that if you only get a couple of hours of TV a week, you'd be better off watching something good! Your response there is pretty weird Hearthly because it goes into this big justification about why you can't make any more time for TV when absolutely no one's suggesting that. The easiest and surely most screamingly obvious solution is just to stop watching The Walking Dead and watch other stuff instead. If you're not going to do that then it does seem a bit pointless to keep moaning about it; it's almost as if you somehow enjoy being disappointed by it. |

It's almost as if different people do different things for different reasons, and sometimes those reasons may seem illogical to others, or weird, even. EDIT - And I'm cheerfully saying it's 'above average', I'm happy to watch an above average zombie series when I'm already six seasons of time investment into it, but at the same time I will comment on what I do and don't like about it. |

Fair enough, though it honestly doesn't come across like you're at all happy to watch it hence the comments here about why you're bothering. |
