    I'm trying to stay with this but its painful to be honest.

    Im hoping that they offload Morgan back to the original show sometime in the future. Really they could do with culling a number of characters at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,751 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    They also need a proper story/plot. The current season just like the last one is just lumbering from one episode to the next until it gets to the last one with no build up or anticipation.

    No sign of Morgan and the show gets a bit better but basically a rip off of a TWD episode
    As for the ladders - dear god!

    Another filler episode that adds nothing to the non existant storyline

    This show is lumbering towards cancellation like a walker pursuing a seagull along a cliff.

    So they are now playing "the floor is lava". That ladder business was shocking.

    I'm also confused by the oil field. Logan says he reckons it's in the book. Next episode they reminisce about finding the field, and leaving logan somewhere? I thought I'd missed an episode.

    From the top down views I couldn't understand why they didn't just run with the ladder...
    Thought it was going to be Gabriel 2.0 with the congregation locked up / killed.
    It's a car crash I can't stop watching.

    Half decent episode (minus Morgan again) but the
    big bad was a big good and the new bad is terrible


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,408 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Last episode was suprisingly not terrible. Morgan and the documentary lady breaking onto the compound was interesting though why she had to basically shame morgan into backing her up i dont know. Also learnt a bit more about the villains and the helicopter people. Dont care so mich about the radiation lady.

    This is awful, yet I still passively watch. I hate every character. Its just awful.

    John and June - awful
    The kids - awful
    Morgan - Awful
    The truckers - awful
    Alicia - More than awful
    Strand - terrible
    Luciana - Hot
    Daniel and his Skidmark - terrible
    Al - the journalist with never ending equipment - Awful

    Looking forward to the next episode though...

    How its gotten to this point after being a genuinely good show for two seasons is beyond me. I used to enjoy and root for the characters. Now its a complete shambles.

    Also, I'm all for equality and representation - but you can literally see their attempts here - its horrifically prescribed. Make it natural.

    As if it couldn't get any worse they spend nearly the whole episode as a home movie just to lead up to an
    insignificant newcomer dying and they are overcome with grief

    I don't think I can take it anymore :(

    Prepare yourself

    This works for some shows as some comic relief but zombies? Good save us


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,576 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    Here's praying that
    Morgan is really dead and not a Glenn cop out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,408 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    what a terrible finale. It's a terrible mess at this stage. Strange the walking dead returns to some form as FTWD quality falls off a cliff.
