The Walking Dead....

For people that have survived horrible circumstances for a long time they sure seem to make some very poor choices and lack effective bargaining skills. I'm fairly new to TWD but I think what makes the show appealing is we get to imagine what we would do in these situations. In that fantasy, Neegan and/or many Saviors or myself would already be dead. At least 3 times in recent episodes the "good guys" have relinquished weapons in a situation where to do so is almost certain to result in servitude or death. Do the writers of these shows world view fit these scenarios or intended to get an audience reaction of "what an idiot"?

I believe that the basic outlines of the show follow a comic book (excuse me I meant "graphic novel") so it has all of the intellectual rigor associated with comic books going for it.
Believe me, I am probably the most consistent griper here but it helps for me to simply sort of "let go and let God" (borrowing from AA) if I want to enjoy the show at all.
BTW, yes, I agree they tend to do some stupid things, especially leaping without looking when the consequences of screwing up could be worse than fatal.

Ha! Tasha has seen some better days, yes? ...but haven't we all?

Wonder if old Grandpa hit her a little too much?

Did you say hit her or hit it a little too much with her?

Did you say hit her or hit it a little too much with her?

Well, you know the story with her real Grandpa, Bing, yes?

 

[mugsy]

That she never met him even though he was 19 when she died?

Awesome episode last night with the exception of using their explosives for distractions. They could have been put to better use against the saviors.

I just watched a 1h2min episode in 16 minutes. You can too if you fast forward through the commercials. If it wasnt for that little Mex girl I wouldnt even watch that show anymore.

They said Jesus had a boyfriend the episode before last. Seems like they are really high on that agenda to me.

 

[kennedy]

Told you they shouldn't have trusted her...

 

[ratski]

wonder if negan will take out the trash? or will they go after him since he renegotiated the deal.

This show sucks. I think that I'm done with it. It's a suckpool of predictable suckiness. The writers have totally lost their edge. This reminds me of the show "lost", where the first season or two rocked and then they got lazy and were afraid to do anything daring.

They seriously need to consider hiring on George R. R. Martin as a consultant to show how to put the edge back into this sucking suckfest.
