Honestly after watching shows like Game of thrones. The WD is really kinda cheesy and the acting sub par. The pump you up speeches are getting old. I watch the show because I watched from the beginning but between the commercials and the shitty new people going into the show I don't really care that much anymore.


Completely agree. The acting and writing are almost like a high school production at times.

Dude. Is it ironic that a show about zombies is at its worse when the people are... running from zombies? So awkward.

It's becoming frustrating because of the stupidity.

Overall Plan: zombies are slow so by all means - JUST RUN, fall back quickly and regroup or seek safety.

You're in zombie land and find a mfing RPG. You'd have that damn thing at the right and ready. Cruising down the highway and come across a motorcycle gang, no fricking problem because I have this, what, RP fricking G - you blow them to shite and keep cruising or else if you're feeling particularly pussified LIKE MORGANS frickING PUSSY arse, just threaten them with it and they won't be near so cocky.

Morgan. What a fricking disappointment. We wait so long for this guy to link up and when he does he sucks so fricking bad that he's almost as much a threat, because of his stupidity and idealism, as any zombie or wolf. frick Morgan.

I still don't understand the tower on the outside of the goddamn wall.

And why neither of the girls popped that wolf in the head. They were 7 feet away tops.

That was some bull shite. They deserve to die, because obviously they've learned nothing since the ZA began.

Same for Daryl, Abe, and Sasha surrendering their weapons for nothing. Fvcking retards.

ETA: And the blonde girl's youngest son is a punk arse bitch and has no reason to live.

Oh yeah. That part was so freaking stupid I blocked it out of my memory.

Yeah, you're a known killer, with a knife, holding it on someone we don't even know that well, yeah let's definitely give you our guns.

Mid-season finale was shitty. I'm ready for this show to end. I want to stay to the bitter end but I'm not down for 3+ more seasons. This and maybe one more is all I can give. They are out of ideas and the premise is getting stale. And Glen crawling under the dumpster was laughable. It was a jump the shark moment.

Well it's not really a show about zombies. It's a show about people handling an apocalypse.

everyone knows that "The Walking Dead" refers to the group and not the zombies. The show isn't about the zombies at all, but how the group readjusts to life post zombie apocalypse

Hence Rick's line of "we are the walking dead" last season (or maybe it was two seasons ago).

I think the choice to use the term "walkers" on the show has confused that point.

None of this excuses the show's incredibly awkward portrayal of people fleeing the zombies, especially the seasoned veterans.

I could understand a newb being so overcome with shock and horror that they stumbled around stupidly to some degree.

And we know it's just an unfortunate consequence of the slow zombie syndrome, you can only stumble, trip and fall so many times and still keep it intense, but still.

That was such a horrible scene. I was cringing at that biker guy's monologue. Sasha's angry face was laughable. God this show sucks.

In the end too many dumb people doing dumb things packed into one episode.


Yeah, this was a bad episode of too many people doing uncharacteristic things just to manufacture drama. When Carol did go to kill the Wolf, she'd have done so in a way that Morgan wouldn't have followed her. Maggie stumbling to make the walkers seem like more of a threat?! Rosita not taking the shot?

I think this show is finally jumping the shark for me.

1) Rosita not taking the shot was the exact opposite of Rick's reaction in the jail when it was clear the one prisoner could not be trusted: Rick ended him in 10 seconds, no muss, no fuss. The show didn't need the drama and it was a good plot point. Now we have this damn wolf hanging around, because Morgan has decided to be a caricature of himself.

2) The biker gang scene was beyond stupid. "Oh an ambush ahead? Let's act like we're totally green and stop to talk to them." Any of these 3 options would have been more believable and would still have created action: Run over them while shooting; Stop truck, conduct shooting retreat into woods; drive around them; floor it in reverse while shooting.

3) Are we still using 'oh no, I tripped and the slow zombies are gonna catch me'? Yes, yes we are.

4) Mommy, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom Why are we all holding hands when its obvious we have walker food in the group?

5) The acting is starting to get bad. Uwe Boll bad.

Yeah, this was the first episode my wife watched with me (I generally watch them Monday during/after a workout in the garage).

It was a little embarrassing, her: "This is what you watch?" Me: "It's not always this bad"

I thought the season started off good but this episode was one of the most irritating ones they've ever had. Too many dumb mistakes for one episode.
BTW, frick Sam, his bro, and Morgan
