Right I was a bit under the influence last night as it was my first evening off the 24 hour on-call rota for over a week so of course one celebrates this with the finest Pinot Grigio that Tesco have to offer in box form for under twenty quid. COHERENT THOUGHTS: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

On the plus side Tara is well fit and I totes have the hots for her. If it were some random secondary bloke character featuring prominently in that episode, I'd have been more aggrieved. But yeah, TWD is basically crap now, they should do the decent thing and cull it this season with a proper send-off, but they won't do that because MONEY. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! IT'S NO BOJACK HORSEMAN. Or Stranger Things. Or Fargo. Or Black Mirror. And fuck knows what else that does compelling storytelling about three billion times better than TWD has managed for quite some time. |

I gave up after about five minutes on this one... I have to confess I was slightly prejudiced by you guys. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
I thought it was a really good episode. Also, the young girl clearly checked her ammo, realised she was running low, and had a look of resignation on her face, not amazement. The fake Heath was stupid, but other than that I thought it was strong, and the community's location and policy made sense. |

Ffs. The one member of the group who is a lesbian ends up in a lesbian commune? Wtf are the chances.... |
Author: | Satsuma [ Sun Dec 04, 2016 22:54 ] |
Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
It's never said it's a lesbian commune. If anything, they express some interest in finding her male companion to see if he'll join them. I bet Heath will be kicking himself when she tells him what she actually did. |
Author: | Curiosity [ Sun Dec 04, 2016 23:33 ] |
Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
It's explicitly stated that it isn't a lesbian commune; Negan just killed all the men. |
Author: | Hearthly [ Sun Dec 04, 2016 23:40 ] |
Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Yes but it makes it a lot more interesting if you imagine it's a lesbian commune. I mean, the whole programme is so bad now that making up your own storylines is practically compulsory. OMG the filthy things Tara got up to last episode, it's like she'd totally got over Denise really quickly, even before she realised Denise was dead thanks to her latent psychic powers that I also made up, and was onto hot lesbian orgies in a heartbeat. Momentous TWD experiences, classic season of a classic series, that just keeps the lesbian action coming thick and fast. |

Very nearly turned this off somewhere around the 24 minute mark, but persevered to the end. The Negan character is nothing more than a semi-pantomime villain with a penchant for torture and terrorising women, total waste of a very good actor to my mind. The thing that really blew it for me was: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Everything after that was basically just nonsense. Negan is depressingly one-note and quickly gets boring. Watching him and Carl chat for extended periods of time? Not very interesting. Is that the mid-season finale? I hope so. I'm going to start watching Westworld. |

Nah, that's the set up episode for the mid season finale, where it will all kick off and end on a cliffhanger. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Yes, Kevin is definitely one of the strongest characters in the franchise. Oh well at least it's the end of season finale tomorrow, which means TWD will go away for a while. I need to get Westworld watched. |

Midseason finale, a step above what we've had for most of Season 7 at least. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Overall then, most of the first half was disposable trash, most of the second half was solid - enough to bait the line to make it worth tuning in again when the second half of the season arrives next year sometime. |

I mainly agree with Hearthly. However, kevin Keegan was superb. Again. I love him. Didn't care for the ending. |

The camera lingering on all their faces at the end went on for so long that we both burst out laughing at it. |

Not the best Season (so far) but I'm far from hating it. Still one of the best things on TV at the moment for me. Daryl's fringe is really getting to me though. |

Kevin is awesome and I love him. I missed the teaser at the end of the show. What was it? Assume next half of season will be Rick and friends and the sad Kingdom chap teaming up? Enjoyed the episode. Not sure why they suddenly think they can beat the impossible odds though. Sure, Jesus is like a fucking magician and they have one gun, but why is it now different to a week ago when it was hopeless. I don't quite buy the incident at Alexandria as a reason to flip their options. I would love Negan to finally be killed by Carol, as she takes up violence again in a "Seriously, I have to do all this shit for you?" way, reluctantly saving all their asses again. She's such a good actor. |

I'm with hearthly with this one. The show keeps on being stupid but i invested too much time on it to drop it. I just disagree on him about Tara. She's rubbish. And Negan is a really silly villain, and it really annoys me his speaking manner and his back arching thing. Someone please shoot him already. Is it that hard? |

I was aware the season had resumed but the break of two or three months has crystallised in my mind just how mean, gruelling, grinding, incoherent, directionless, poorly written, appallingly paced, filled to the brim with magically transforming kitchen utensils, and let's simply call it what it really is, fucking boring, that I find I have not even the slightest residual desire to inflict any more of it on myself. My Netflix watchlist alone is about three miles long, and like everyone, I only have so much free leisure time to do the things I want to do - and TWD isn't taking any more of it up. So then TWD, you were great, then good, then average, then poor, and now you are the weakest link - goodbye. Oh yes, and I'd forgotten about the tiger, thanks for me reminding of that totemic beacon of its descent into total shittery, as it means I'm not now running the risk of seeing the ridiculous thing on my screen again. |
