The Walking Dead Series
-
I watch because it is true-loves third favourite show and I had already read this thread so knew what was going to happen and had to act interested when she said that she thought that lady in the coffin would be dead and bite Negan etc.
Was a dull ole episode especially given that I knew what was going to happen.
I did enjoy the intensity/vicousness of that battle on the roof although I would have much preferred to see how she went from being nearly thrown off the roof to being able to throw the other one off the roof

Sorry I'm late to the thread. I was a real WD fan until I missed a few seasons but I'm all caught up now....
A few thoughts.....
Negan is one of, if not THE best TV bad guy ever.
Ditto for Simon as a 2IC.
The series is really set up brilliantly for next season as the groups band together to take on the saviours.
Anyone else into Fear the Walking Dead? After an awesome first season which essentially followed what woulda happened if Rick hadnt been in a coma it's descended into real boredom. Not many characters to root for and no main bad guy doesn't help.

@MN5 FTWD started so well, I thought ep 2 was brilliant, but has been on a downward spiral since, but I still watch it!!
Cliff Curtis needs to channel his iner Jake the MUss a bit more though instead of the piss weak pussy he is most of the time!

Yeah the parts where they got quarantined, segregated etc before the dead inevitably took over were cool. Strand lost a shitload of cool factor by being a raving arse a bandit ( it's true ). Both long haired teenagers irritate the fuck out of me.
The show is really weak in comparison.
-
@MN5 and as the world was falling apart and they were stuck in the barber shop, thought it was quite an intense episode...but yeah they seem to make teens in so many series nowadays like that and you just hope the zombies or someone fucks them up.

Daniel is a cool character. We'll see him again according to Wikipedia.
How nice is Strands boat? I'd just say fuck it and live on that if I were in the situation! ( obviously after finding a mechanic somewhere )
-
Thoughts on the first episode back in ?
I found the flash forwards weird.
Negan seems to have lost a fuckload of mystique and menace.
The hilltop leader is a fluffybunny.
Overall no where near as much anticipation as there was for GOT. The series is really starting to drag
-
It was so F-ing annoying, worst tactical plan ever, roll up on a building where the enemy occupy high ground, waste precious bullets shooting out windows, don't kill the big bad despite the multiple chances you have.
The Walking Dead writers are just trolling us now.

S'funny. I felt there was a lot of anticipation that Rick had underestimated things with Negan yet again.
-
I thought it was a decent ep.
That said, they need to get rid of Negan soon, or let him escape to return in a few seasons or something...this story arc has run its course.
Not sure why the Father didnt just pop Negan off when he saw him, had time to bring his weapon up, knows who he is.
I have officially quit FTWD, show going nowhere fast!

Yeah FTWD suxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Unbelievably boring especially now Cliff has gone. It started so well too.

@mn5 It was very confusing. I must have missed something as I can't remember why/how Carol and the King's lot were left dazed and just who they were chasing. Did it happen in the previous epsiode?
-
@catogrande IIRC one of the 'baddies' detonated a bomb or something in front of the door which obviously housed a bunch of walkers.
So apparently that dude double crossed them, so where is he?
Need to tie this up soon, the whole Negan storyline has gone on far too long now.
-
Not wrong @taniwharugby Negan and Simon are sorely missed. Also that chick who led the weirdos in the junkyard who double crossed Rick and the gang.
The chick who got bitten after running out of ammo. Who was she ? Her inevitable death seemed pretty full on considering she's a character I have no idea about.
When the Negan storyline is over where to then? He is a more compelling baddie than the Governor which is a good effort but surely there can't be another bad guy to top him....
-
@mn5 I like Negan, but in small doses, when he has too much screen time, he comes across as overplaying things.
Ideally, he should disappear for a season or 2 rather than die.
Yeah they tried to have all these varied story arcs which gave random people more time on screen than before (that chick who got bitten) but it ended up just being messy IMO.
-
@taniwharugby @MN5 I've never liked Negan, find him a stupid character (similar to the Governor, although as silly as he felt back in the day he seems a more grounded character than Negan), and find him (the actor) to be overplaying every little thing - also he should have been shot last week.
Hopefully the where to from here is cancellation, because clearly I'm hate watching the show at the moment ;).
-
@nepia in small doses, I think his character and the way he portrays him is excellent, but too much, and yep, overplays it and hams it up and he annoys me.
I guess the Father could have killed Negan, but unlikely as his death is likely to be overplayed as well.
