this series have been very disappointing. I can’t wait til the main series starts up again
I just don’t like any of the characters.
I enjoy the show very much and it kinds of give me some ideal what to expect when the government comes down on us. Though I don’t think I would be making signals with my mirror though. I want to keep hidden.
No doubt, if the government has a sinister plot for the neighborhood then Travis and Madison and the rest has the right to get the hell out of there.
Zombies aren’t eating anyone because none of the characters have any brains.
AMC has had a good showing with this series, partly because of little competition.
The new fall season (new and returning shows) began this week. FTWD may have more competition tonight.
Blindspot and Minority Report were okay. I about gave up on Limitless, but it improved in the final quarter-hour. The Bastard Executioner was interesting as an historical piece, but it didn’t grab me as a ‘must see’ weekly. I got through about 10 minutes of Rosewood and that was all I could take of the smarmyness. To night, Blood & Oil looks like a night-time soap opera, followed by Quantico which opens with trainees facing a major terrorist attack. I have both schedule for DVR.
I wish I could get into it. I’ve watched and so far, I just can’t. Wish we had another Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Interesting that the black guy offered Nick a key, like Randall Flagg offered Lloyd a key in “The Stand”
Something about the device used on
livestock and adapted for humans to
prevent reanimation made me recall
college meat technology courses. I seem
to recall that device is used to stun
cattle, I believe. After stunning
the beef is shackled and hung upside
down. The throat is then cut. The
heart is still pumping which evacuates
approximately 85% of the blood. That is
why supermarket meat tends to have a lot
less blood in the package than wild game
shot in the field.
Take away quote from the idiot officer “we can do anything we want. We have the guns.”
It is starting......DO NOT BOTHER PATRIOT BABE =)
So what was tonight lesson:
1) Do not kidnap and torture your potential future son-in-law.
2) Do not begin to have romantic thoughts about your future step brother or sister.
3) Soldiers should never hand over any weapon to a person who is against guns.
4) Just because your neighbor may have turned does not give you the right to destroy their home.
I wonder when that man gave Nick the key. That key will be the beginning of a herd of zombies walking in to an all you can eat buffet.
Took a while to get ‘there’ but I think this show is starting to come into its own now. Enjoyed this episode much more than any of the others. I still don’t think they properly explained how the ‘virus’ really got started or where it came from. Maybe that has never been the intent or they will go more in depth later?
A) Short seasons: This means they rush stuff along. In last night's episode it is revealed by the commander that now they know the dead rise and eat the living. That is an awesome revelation but the "money shot" such a revelation has is wasted.
Contrast to the movie "Night Of The Living Dead" which Kirkman says "The Walking Dead" is a sequel of (movie is in the public domain so it's OK). They had a reporter on the TV advise people what was happening and how to stop the dead. We lose that powerful impact here. This is day 10 from when the National Guard showed up and walled off the community so it's relatively a fresh outbreak so we should be seeing the collapse happen but we don't really.
Which brings me to the second handicap of this show:
B) Low budgets: While The Walking Dead is a money making machine for licensing the TV show has a limited budget. So they either get to be innovative in showing the collapse of the world with a limited budget (like the first Night Of The Living Dead did) or be dull and show no zombies. They choose to be dull and show no zombies.
And lastly, reason C) This show has poor writers. I can't help but think limited budget means you don't get the A-List writers of end time survival and horror fiction in Hollywood. To me the writers of these shows seem to come from Soap Opera staff.
I only watch this because I am a sucker for 'end time' scenarios and zombies.
