Tre Mac Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I watched a bit of the premiere, the tiger was cool in all but I just see so many flaws in how the story comes about that I just can't get into this show anymore. HBO/Netflix has ruined network tv for me, PG-13 just doesn't cut it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious that this show, which is designed for entertainment, is causing you all sorts of stress. So that's how you respond when your points are proven moot? You insult someone for no particular reason? I get that your responses were elementary and poorly thought out, but to resort to insults just shows how pathetic your approach is.

Quite honestly, I don't know why the Walking Dead in particular attracts so many people to these threads who obviously just don't like or watch the show. If you don't like the show why bother posting in a thread about it. What does that add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're clearly reaching for straws in some vain and pointless attempt to prop up your dying argument. Maybe just let it die, and who knows, maybe it'll come back.

TheFirstLine Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hate to say it but this show has gotten so bad. With the amount of money they have raked in these last few years can't believe this show still looks low budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do a google search. I'm not the only one who has this opinion. The show makes zero effort to provide any kind of continuity to how walkers die or to keep things realistic or scientifically accurate. The only rule seems to be that puncturing the skull with any object kills them. Once again, it's not about the zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only rule seems to be that puncturing the skull with any object kills them. Once again, it's not about the zombies. If you're looking for realism on a show about a zombie plague, maybe temper your expectations somewhat. As far as I can see, and this goes back a long way in zombie lore, is that blunt force trauma to the head = dead. That has been standard throughout the entire series. The reason continuity may be an issue is that this show has had three showrunners (Frank Darabont, Glenn Mazzara, and now Scott Gimple). Mazzara was clearly the weakest link in the chain, and his run with the show reflected that weakness. While the Walking Dead centers around the survivors and their quest to rebuild their lives and society, the zombies kind of play more than just a bit part in the show. They are kind of the entire reason society crumbled. Once again, did Rick and Carl end up in Alexandria with everyone else because of a Black Friday sale gone horribly wrong? Did Negan rise to power and become the leader of the Saviours because his minions got tired of their work a day world, and they all became Montana Freemen?

Tre Mac Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Do people not get scratched anymore? I watched 3 episodes this weekend and in every one they had a close call. The scene where they were removing the explosives on the highway and Rick and Michonne got swarmed there is no way they can escape that unscathed. The scene last night with Rick looking down at the deer looked so bad, like 1980's CGI bad, like The Neverending story bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCanuck001 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Probably the worst episode of the series last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second episode after the mid season break also had a bad green screen moment with Rick on top of that pile of garbage. I know after Season 1 their budget was slashed and hence why the season was set pretty much entirely on the farm. You have to wonder if this season has budget issues as well and they aren't handling it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 They must have spent all the CGI budget on the tiger, lol. The whole situation with the Garbage Pails kids is so stupid. Why would you ever negotiate with a bunch of flip-floppers who have shown almost no initiative for their own survival and can't even speak English properly when it's only been less than 2 years since SHTF? How competent are they with guns anyways when they're complaining about even cleaning/oiling them. IMO, Alexandria is playing with fire.

Mattrek Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I used to watch this show all the time, but I stopped because I was getting to the point of just wanting to see what the end of the show was. I watch movies all the time and I like closure. The show was really starting to drag on and on (not sure if it's just me or if others feel that way).

trek Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I really wished they would have finished off the season with the saviors in the finale. This storyline is dragging and the comics have moved on to more interesting things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just you (although, TWD's viewership says otherwise). I've long been a fan of how the BBC treats tv shows. Just a few seasons and they're done. Whether this is done because of budget constraints or integrity, it matters none to me. There's a reason why BBC shows set the gold standard for quality.
