Time for the weekly grumble thread. Just the other day I was thinking, “You know what would really perk this show up? An entire episode devoted to its most annoying, chronically boring character, who hasn’t done a single interesting thing since season one. The writers need to kill a few hours anyway while we’re waiting for the big finale between Rick’s gang and Woodbury. Here’s their chance to have Andrea finally figure out that the Governor’s a sadistic megalomaniac, just like the rest of the world did 20 episodes ago.” And then, as if by magic, there it was last night — the show that I’d dreamed of, essentially “Sleeping With the Enemy” with some zombies tossed in. My only regret is that there weren’t a few more scenes of Michonne silently glowering at people, which never gets old. We’ll have to make do with just that one by the campfire.
The big chase scene in the warehouse was fine, but let’s face it, no one watching it seriously believed the Governor would be eaten. That might have happened in a show about the zombie apocalypse, where life ends brutally and unpredictably even for the most significant characters, but that’s not what this show is about. This is a show about the survivalist soap opera among Rick and the gang with zombies as backdrop. And since the soap opera requires a Final Conflict with the Governor, that’s what we’ll get. Coming next week: To save the prison, Rick must battle the Governor’s tank of sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads.
Thanks for the photo Joe.
Angry? You're way off base and the start of Sunday's episode with her and Andrea in the forest with the "2 boys" gives a brief insight into her history...("they were below human")....
And don't forget, it was Michonne who saw the Gov. for what he is and couldn't leave Mayberry fast enough while her "friend" Andrea chose to stay on. It was Michonne who returned to Mayberry with the others and killed the Gov's zomboid daughter and took out the Gov's eye.
And it was Rick at the prison who didn't want her to stay with them.
Up until now, it's been Michonne who has been rejected by everyone so you can't very well blame her for the attitude she has........
Sorry bro but race has nothing to do with her anger.........
Right on bro! Gotcher back.......LOL!
What an interesting concept.......I'll have to think about that.
I don’t get all the bad mouthing. Love the show, and I think the last couple episodes have been excellent. I appear to be alone in really liking Andrea. She’s gone through as much or more character development as anybody there, from the frightened fatalist to the survivor badass. She’s the one I’d want to hook up with than any of the other women there. She’s got that basic hotness and she’s good in a fight. :-)
When you say "we", I'm assuming you have a mouse in your pocket.
As for the rest of us, we try to enjoy life without having to think about politics 24/7 and the Walking Dead certainly takes our minds off that.
I'd ask you what your thoughts are about the Detroit Tigers making it to the world series again but I'm afraid I'd get the same response.........LOL!
As a side note, there is another Forum running under the heading "POLITICS", you might want to skip over there and vent your political frustrations.......
Good thing you're not a drama TV series writer, you'd have written yourself out of a job after the first episode......LOL!
That is one human the walking dead won’t touch...smells too much like them. ;)
Glad we have a navy seal on site to offer their analysis......
Its just too stupid to be believable.
One would think that with your superior intellect and insight, the mere title of the series "the Walking Dead" would have kept you from even watching the first episode.
And you've been watching this series for how long?.......LOL!
Ditto
Then why are you watching it? And if you're not watching it, then what are you doing criticizing the rest of us who are when you obviously have no idea what this series is all about?
You're obviously confused Eye, stick to your Asian dating sites.......
It’s not a show about zombies. It’s a show about people that has zombies as part of the scenery. This is evidently lost on some people. Like the person who wrote this.
I will agree with the author, though, that the last two episodes have been a bore.
So what is the current "Best of all Time"? And how does TWD compare to it?
Your thoughts would certainly be appreciated........
Maybe. But we've also seen some evidence that the zombies can perform basic functions, like opening doors. In the pilot or maybe second episode--I can't remember which--Morgan's zombie wife tries to open the door to their house, which was locked. In the episode when Andrea was attacked in the RV, the door was shut and the zombie got in.
I do agree, though, that the characters make some fairly inexplicable decisions. For one, I don't understand why Rick keeps refusing to allow other people into the prison when he knows he is going to war with the Governor. I recognize that there are trust issues, but why wouldn't you pick up backpack guy? Wouldn't an able-bodied male be worth his weight in gold, especially since there are only 3 (Rick, Glen, and Daryl) in their group? Why did he kick out Tyrese and his crew? Dumb.
Maybe, but I don't understand why the Governor hasn't killed him already. The governor knows that Milton told andrea about the plan and knows that Milton burned the zombies, and the Governor, other than looking mad, didn't do anything about it. Why not? Why would he keep Milton--a person who is actively trying to thwart his plans--around? My only guess is that Milton is either related to him or provides some other critical value that we haven't yet seen.
My guess, for what it's worth, is that Milton will let Andrea out.
