Sorry about the added crap characters. They don't show up until I go to post the article so I can't edit them out.
Has become? LOL! Our daughter is addicted. And Talking Dead afterwards.
I typically tune out shows about the occult such as this. But I have to say that the subject is quite limited and can only be retold so many times.
Although others have different solutions, you can also simply replace all of the apostrophes and quotation marks in the excerpt with ' and " ", as opposed to the slanted ones which don't come through properly.
Below is an example of both types of apostrophes and quotation marks in a pre-post composition AND the result after posting or previewing both:
Yeah, they were never the same after Jerry Garcia died.
I like the show, but I have to agree. Its become repetitive. They’re going to have to find a way to inject some new life into it or I think the viewers are going to start leaving it.
Z nation is a lot more fun.
It started out as a cheap WD knockoff but they started adding humor and made it great.
It’s just a TV show. The writer seems to think it’s a big deal. It’s one of the few shows I watch regularly, but it’s getting repetitive, like any show that’s been on for years. The biggest plot holes this season have been characters trapped by, or supposedly eaten by, the zombies, who suddenly come running down the road yelling “Open the gate!”. My only other annoyance is the number of British actors in the show. Can’t they find any American actors?
There were a couple of good episodes this season. But they really need to move this show along.
How many ways can you hack out brains (that's a rhetorical question -- I don't really want to know the answer)?
But "the most boring"?
Not so much. TV's still a "vast wasteland" and most of what's on is worse.
The characters do seem to have got stuck in an endless loop, though -- going to some new community each year and learning to cope with their differences with those who are already there.
That's a familiar pattern for television series -- whether it's some lonely wanderer in the Old West, or Captain Kirk visiting a new planet every week -- but TWD doesn't quite make it work.
Maybe they're satisfied with some dramatic texture at the expense of excitement -- which is strange for a show that relies so much on violence, monster make-up, and crowd scenes.
I think they try too hard to be cerebral. This is supposed to be entertainment. A few more tight jeans and wet shirts on the ladies, more harrowing escapes, and a LOT less philosophizing and introspection on the parts of all the characters.
I actually find SciFi Z Nation to be more entertaining now. It doesn’t attempt to take itself seriously, much more “tongue in cheek”. A little cheesy on the effects at times, short on logic, a few more hot chicks along the way. More what a zombie story ought to be like. This ought to be [nearly] mindless entertainment IMO.
And as for defending yourself against human raiders and such, if you're so damned reluctant to fight your enemies, then just lay down and let them kill you. But PLEASE!!!! spare us any more angst-ridden drabble and get about the business of eliminating zombies.
Oh, and wash your hair, Rick. You too, Daryl.
Well, Kat, if it is THAT boring, turn the channel.
If that doesn’t work, try the ON-OFF button.
It is a shame that evil AMC forces you to watch such a boring show.

Gads, I wanted to throttle Morgan! I still like it but it isn’t as good as before.
Sure you can. Hit the “Preview” button, correct the characters and then hit the “Post” button. Easy peasy.
I am a fan of TWD, but I have issues other than the authors. What really bugs me is Daryl and crew surrendering weakly to some guys standing in front of parked motorcycles while they are driving a tanker truck and are armed with a rifle and RPG. Daryl was at Terminus yet he will still surrender to an unknown group.
Agreed, TWD is becoming a Dead Show Walking this season.
It was a very tight group of human beings vs. other tight groups of human beings, survival of the fittest with the zombies as metaphor/side-story, that made Seasons 1-5 so compelling.
TWD needs to get back to it ASAP.
Why aren’t you people watching Homeland instead?

Seems like a metaphor. Zombies are Muslims—mindless killers.
That’s just crazy talk.
