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 hasnt done a single interesting thing since season one. The writers need to kill a few hours anyway while were waiting for the big finale between Ricks gang and Woodbury. Heres their chance to have Andrea finally figure out that the Governors 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 Id dreamed of, essentially Sleeping With the Enemy with some zombies tossed in. My only regret is that there werent a few more scenes of Michonne silently glowering at people, which never gets old. Well have to make do with just that one by the campfire.
The big chase scene in the warehouse was fine, but lets 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 thats 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, thats what well get. Coming next week: To save the prison, Rick must battle the Governors tank of sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads.
I don't either, they're the same types of people who drop into a Rush thread and bad mouth him.
Nobody wants them, nobody invited them and nobody gives a rat's ass about what they say. But yet they feel it necessary to drop their negative crap simply because they want an argument.........
It's kept you watching hasn't it?
In response to your photo, I’d say you’re the sarcastic prick..........
Contrast Fry with fellow pizza delivery guy Glenn. :-)
In terms of series continuation, what would that have accomplished?
I think that once the Governor plot is over, it’ll be the last we see of Woodbury and its inhabitants. So (we can hope, Woodbury is getting old), Milton’s time is limited.
If I’m writing the show, what else do I need Milton to accomplish to move the ball forward? He’ll be gone soon anyway. Why not have the governor do the rational thing and off Milton? He obviously doesn’t have a problem with killing people.
To add drama and plot to the upcoming episodes........
“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. “
Still can’t buy it. Zombies are not stealthy. I think you would hear one trying to work the knob. They also tend to shuffle their feet when they walk, and when they see the living they moan. How can you miss that in a quiet house especially when on high alert?
As for not letting in new people I think its not just about trust. I think Rick doesnt want to be responsible for more people who might get killed. They are quite a formidable group. A delusional leader, his tween son, 2 females who barely know how to shoot, the wannabe badazz sexpot, her somewhat capable lover, a crippled old guy, and a truly capable fighter. The addition of sword girl and the 1 armed badazz does improve things, but they might just kill each other.
Since it's already been reported that Milton is now off on another career filming, it's assumed that he is going to be eliminated by the Gov.
In staying with the theme of the Gov. being a psychopath, I suspect Milton is going to be killed in the most gruesome way the Gov. can come up with in an effort for the writers to show just how demented the Governor really is........
How gruesome that is, I'll leave that up to your imagination........but looking at the aftermath of the Walker fire pit, it's going to be bad.
And also because he was not right in the head (seeing Lori, talking to dead people on the phone, etc.). Has he snapped back after that trip to visit Morgan?
“If Im writing the show, what else do I need Milton to accomplish to move the ball forward?’
I predict Milton will end up in Rick’s group just because every show has to have at least 1 gay character.
I wish it was so since Milton is a nice guy.
Unfortunately the Gov knows it was Milton who set fire to the walker pit and the Gov. is about to show how demented he is by eliminating Milton in probably the most gruesome display of murder we have seen.......
“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.”
It doesnt take a navy seal or a genius to know that in zombieland you need to keep your head on a swivel and ears open at all times. These people walk around like its Sunday in the park. How else do you explain how slow non-stealthy Zeds are constantly surprizing them?
As a post script, it wouldn’t surprise me if the governor shackled Milton in the torture room and unleashed several walkers on him.......
Then Milton would finally know what it is like to be a zombie. It would be his heart’s desire! ;-)
“Unfortunately the Gov knows it was Milton who set fire to the walker pit and the Gov. is about to show how demented he is by eliminating Milton in probably the most gruesome display of murder we have seen.......”
OR- Gov roughs up Andrea some and during a preemptive attack on Woodbury, she is freed by Milton and they rejoin Ricks group in the confusion. We’ll have to wait and see.
Since you are obviously an expert in military training, WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THIS SHOW?
Look dude, the majority of us enjoy this program for what it is, we don't need individuals like you dropping in and turning these threads into something about you.
You obviously don't like the program so do the rest of us a favor and don't watch it and stay off our threads.......
Is that too much to ask?????
