No, she's not. She's alright, but she's not enough of a strong character to be the focus of an entire episode. where do I know the young black chap from? |

Normal route. Had a bit of talent, played a few gigs, got an agent, then a recording contract. |

Grim... wrote: So what happened to her? How did she get there? SPOILER FOR SEASON 4! In the previous season, after the prison, she and Daryl were together and did a few things, had a few adventures, etc. They holed up in a funeral home, but they thought it might have been inhabited as it had signs of people. They stayed a night and wrote a thank you note for whoever had stuff there, and were going to leave the next day. They had seen a dog outside, and it sounded like it came back, but when Daryl went to answer there were a ton of walkers. He told Beth to escape via the window, and then after she had gone he ran away and also managed to escape. He looked for Beth, only to find her bag on the ground and a car speeding away. The car had the same cross in the back window as the ones in the parking lot of the hospital, so we can assume they're kidnapping people and what they said about finding her was a lie. This was halfway through the last series. |

Did four episodes last night to finish Season 4 off, so just the five episodes of Season 5 to catch up with, and I'm right up to date Netflix doesn't go past Season 4 but the Usenet-O-Tron has proved entirely capable. Season 4 was mostly excellent, albeit with a couple of weaker episodes and the odd slightly 'off' character progression and/or arc (I've forgotten how many entirely different personas Tyreese has got through now), but in the main solid. Last couple of episodes almost got a bit much in places, more thanks to humans than zombies. |

I am now fully up to date, having just finished Episode 5 of Season 5, so from this point forward I'll only be able to watch one episode per week along with everyone else, and doubtless that stupid mid-season break will be along before too long as well. I've quite enjoyed Abraham and Eugene, they're the closest the series has come to a bit of humour for a long time. Also that lesbian lass is well nice, and I bet she's not really a lesbian either so I might be in with a chance. Looking forward to seeing how Season 5 pans out but I do wonder where the whole thing finishes up? Are the comics still going or does it have a defined end? I mean, we're two years into the zombie apocalypse now and on the whole the zombies are looking in pretty good shape, that's the secret of perpetual motion right there, just get enough of them on treadmills outside the gates and you could power an entire city forever, apparently. I like to think it'll do a Breaking Bad at some point and have the ending it deserves, rather than just shambling on indefinitely like the zombie version of Eastenders. |

Episode 6 (of Season 5) was pretty good I think, Carol and Daryl are two of the more interesting characters and can carry an episode (unlike Beth whose episode dragged a bit I thought). Nice to get a bit of backstory and context too. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! It's nice to be up to date, with one episode per week rather than 2-4 per night, which just gets a bit much in the unremitting bleakness stakes. |

She's a decent character but I'm not convinced she's nuanced enough to carry a whole episode, IMO she dragged down the earlier episode focused on her and Daryl. The hospital was interesting-ish but ultimately felt a bit contrived and cartoonish. Quote: As for the recent episode, I thought it was really good. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! I appreciate they were looking for clues and not just ransacking but ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! But yes, definitely two of the best characters and their relationship has superb dynamics and has managed to avoid cliché really well, ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

Hearthly wrote: Are the comics still going or does it have a defined end? The comics are still going but the TV series has deviated enough already that one could continue or end without the other really. I did have it in my head that there was a genuine proper end planned soon for the comics but I can't find any evidence of that and may have either made it up entirely or just be mixing it up with Fables (another long running comics series I read that's definitely finishing shortly). |

Fairly weak episode overall IMO, saw it coming a mile off since they basically erected a big neon sign saying what was going to happen, you know they'll put a ZOMG moment in there because it's the mid-season finale. The reactions were well played out but there was absolutely fucking zero logic to what actually happened. Bit meh, TBH. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

I really can't accept criticisms based on how stupid some character acted. It all brings me back to Prometheus (which i loved btw) where most criticism i saw online was related to characters in that movie doing all sorts of stupid shit. I suppose none of these critics ever read Dostoevsky, because if they did, they would understand that people act silly all the time. |

I suppose none of these critics ever read Dostoevsky, because if they did, they would understand that people act silly all the time. But it's important. Of course there's often an inherent suspension of disbelief with books, movies, games, and indeed most works of fiction. The critical thing however is that the 'world' we've chosen to inhabit plays by its own rules and doesn't decide to do something ridiculous for the sake of a plot contrivance. (So I dunno, something that's patently ridiculous like The Matrix is OK as long as it plays by its own rules.) ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |
