I enjoyed the first few seasons when it was still fresh. After that it got to be a chore to watch. I think I quit watching around when Negan popped up.

Frustrating was how they sometimes showed the crew evolving, like I think one season premier maybe 3-4, they were moving through like bad arse ninjas, but then they always devolve into idiocy, which culminated with the RV trip to nowhere and soon after I fell off watching.

I was watching Beetlejuice the other day. Been forever since I've watched it.

The dead couple hid out in the attic and kept the door locked so nobody could get in. Well, they completely renovated the whole damn house for months and months and couldn't get a freaking carpenter to take the door off the hinges or just bust it down...

Bothered me so damn much for some reason. Never thought of all this as a kid watching it back in the day.

The first few seasons were pretty good.

They should have never killed Shane and killed of Rick instead.

Shane would have wrecked shop and killed all the zombies by S4 and they could have wrapped it up nicely.

Yeah except the whole thing about they were working off of previously written canon.

Shane


Would have abandoned the group, lori, Carl and would have gotten killed over his short fuse. Wouldn't have been an interesting follow.

He was a better enforcer/2nd than a leader

I’ll probably be downvoted to hell and back for saying this but I never liked Breaking Bad at all.

Hilarious to me how they conned so many people to watch so many episodes. I was out in year one.



...year one? Year one is some of the best TV ever.

I grew tired of TWD because it seemed like it wanted me to take it seriously, yet it kept giving me reasons not to.

I know, suspension of disbelief and all that... but if you're not even gonna give a slight wink and a nod every so often, then you certainly can't be slacking off by overlooking the most basic implausibilities...

The first short season was good.

Two was okay. A lot of people didn’t like the farm or the episode after episode of walking around trying to survive.

Then over the years it got so bad that people started saying “they need to go back on the road with the small group and fight to survive.”

I’ll admit it. I watched the whole series.

If you think that's bad, for sure don't watch "Fear the Walking Dead."


It may be an unpopular opinion, but the first two seasons of FTWD are the best seasons of any TWD show. But then Scott Gimple decided he wasn't satisfied with ruining just TWD so he took over in season 3 and ruined that show too.

TWD was okay until they cliffhanger'd the most iconic scene in the comics (also Gimple's idea) and ruined the reveal by clearly not having the actors return for filming.

Still think it would have been amazing if Fear had been a long game set up for Madison being Alpha.

Apparently it can’t be killed. It’s a real fricking zombie and nobody seems willing to put a knife in its brain.

I hung in for about 3 seasons, maybe an episode or two into season 4. That was enough for me.

I kept hoping they'd resort to some type of ancient battle formations and tactics. Phalanx, Legions, Shield Walls, Schiltrons would all seem to work good against zombies. Hell, basic armor would have been a great idea.

The first few seasons were as good a depiction of the zombie apocalypse as you’ll ever see.

shite went downhill when they killed off Shane. He was the alpha and always made the right choice….even if it wasn’t very nice.

I also enjoyed badass Rick in the first few seasons too. They neutered him and things continued to slide down hill. The “I hear Nebraska’s nice” scene was excellent.
