Yeah. I'm classing it as a firm medium. Was expecting another shite episode this week (seems to alternate) so I was very slightly surprised.

Poisoned pork mentions: Zero

1) Would Russell Grant be a soft medium?

2) Well Poisoned Pork won't be mentioned until it's signposted with a massive "Previously on The Walking Dead - this bit you had totally forgotten about because each episode needs more talking and even more completely innefective zombies"

a) I'm sure he'd be hard

b) Yes, but, y'know.

Poisoned pork? Is Cras in the Walking Dead now?

It's his porn wrestler name.

Advice: don't search for it.

I'm surprised Steven Ogg wasn't the main baddie this season. I'm enjoying him more than Negan.

I'm completely oblivious to the daft shit that happens in this now, so it wasn't a bad episode. Kinda alright.

I'm going to bet the house that anyone expecting a big fight for the finale is going to be sorely upset as it invariably gets dragged out to next season.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Mar 28, 2017 9:40

I'm calling it. Next season it will be renamed Horrornation Street.

It will run for a further 20 years, new characters moving over from Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Continuing to watch TWD is like that bad relationship you just don't get out of for a long time after you really should have done, because somewhere inside you're clinging onto a sort of desperate hope that one day it'll go back to how it was before, but deep down you know it'll never happen and all that's left is empty fucking and the sadness of silence afterwards when you realise neither of you have a thing of any note or tenderness to say to one another. And then you wash your cock in the sink before trudging three miles in the pouring rain to get the Metrolink home, as your soul screams for something better.

Some tension again. And twists!

absolutley ruined with ultra gash action scenes. I've watched my son and his friends play army more convincingly.

Very disappointing. Stupid, even by its own standards

Why I even watch this piece of shit show is beyond me. I would be more amused seeing any random MTV reality show than this.

It's boring and dull beyond belief. And when I think it can't get even more stupid, it does. Please, if I watch this ever again, kill me.

Unless someone tells me that all characters died an horrible death. I would watch that

I often swipe over to Google Now whilst I'm having my morning shit, to see what it'd found of interest for me overnight, and it'd helpfully served up a couple of reviews and articles about the latest episode.

They told me all I need to know.

I think I'm at the stage with this where anything short of a naked Tara episode, directed by Frank Barabont, is a hard no.

Hearthly, you have an odd taste in ladies, I have to say :shrug:

But this is it! This is the season where i stop watching TWD. There's too many good shows on TV for this. Currently started The Deuce but the wife says it's too depressing.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:21

An absolute shambles of a show.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

The plan. What the fuck were they trying to actually fucking do? They had, what, 20 guns trained on that door and Negan and his gang prance out, talk shit, and still have time to run to safety when it goes off. This is A-Team level. No mention of where the mega herd of walkers had come from, and Tara was actually timing their arrival on her watch?! Still no mention of the poisoned pork. The time shift editing going to the future and back to the rousing speech didn't work at all.

The worst thing is I'll be watching it next week. Oh actually the week after as I'm on holidays.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Oct 24, 2017 20:59

Well. That was dire.

I hate what this has become.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Oct 24, 2017 21:53

I've seen up to the end of S6 and it's still pretty good. Has it taken a nosedive since then?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Oct 24, 2017 22:09

It's a trunk dive.

With tusks.

You all need to turn this off.

Just.

Stop.

Watching.

Don't forget that Season 7 has THE CHANGING SPOON in it.

Once you've seen that, it can never be unseen.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25588

I’ve just googled the changing spoon. I thought it was going to be some hammy monster nonsense, but it was so much more awful than that.

I was all over that at the time.

In truth TWD was downhill from Season 2 onwards (but Season 1 was magnificent, and having lost both Darabont and half their budget, the only way was down really), I'd say it maintained reasonable quality up to Season 4, was getting shaky in 5 and IIRC I was openly critical of it from 6 onward.

7 was a total bombsite and I gave up mid-season.

I haven't seen any of it yet and was going to wait till it was all done and dusted and then give it a go. I don't think I'll bother now.

The first series is probably worth a watch.

Yes. Just watch the first.

Reminds me, speaking of quitting whilst ahead, not making sequels to The Matrix was a great idea.

What do you mean? The Animatrix has some pretty good bits.

I loved the floating bottle.

We watched the first series and I thought it was rubbish. I can’t even imagine what it must have descended into for that to be the pinnicle.

We got as far as his child being in mortal danger for about three episodes running after being mistaken for a deer and shot in the face, and decided that actually, no thanks.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Oct 25, 2017 9:26

Watch it until the barn scene (end of season 2).

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Oct 25, 2017 9:28

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Yeah, watch S02, too.

Oh yeah, that’s right. I forgot about that and that we didn’t actually finish the series.

Basically Mimi - this;

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

THE new season of The Walking Dead involves a moment of hope followed by yet another gruelling journey, it has been revealed.

A production source revealed that the new series’ storyline will involve Sheriff Rick Grimes and his friends finding a temporary haven – perhaps a church, school or other large municipal building – then having to leave when it is overrun either by zombies, psychopaths, or both.

The source said: “Last time we began with the characters safe, but then losing their place of safety. This time around they’re in great danger. Will they manage to find somewhere safe?

“Spoiler alert – Rick’s going to be in a mood with everyone, behave in an over-earnest way and generally suck all the fun out of things.”

The source added: “You will wonder why you continue to watch this relentless torrent of the most gruelling misery imaginable, then concede that you’d already spent weeks of your life on it so it’s too late to stop now.”

Didn't the writer of the comics say it'll basically go on forever like a soap opera?

That's not so much the problem as the HUMONGOUS dip in writing / atmosphere / tension / common sense among characters / etc

My advice is to stop watching then. It's a massive cash cow and AMC won't stop making it until the ratings fall through the floor. Everyone in here seems to be watching it and hating it.

I saw a google search result that said piracy rates of TWD had dropped massively - it's so shit people can't even be bothered to watch it for free.
