QUOTE(Severin @ Oct 31 2016, 07:38 PM)  And finally The Walking Dead gives us a character who appears (for now at least) not to be a nihilistic, violence prone, insular, broken, miserable, murderous psychopath. Can Negan not just Lucille all of Rick's lot, so we can stay with these guys more? It's the first real glimmer of hope the show has given us since Hershel's farm. It won't last, because Walking Dead - but can we enjoy it for a bit? I'm rather enjoying this light-hearted episode! What's with the pigs though? |

I think I was reading more into it.Either way - that episode was much needed after last week. I loved Ezekiel's back-story. |

They're pure scavengers so their behaviour in the show was normal. The show has never depicted any animal being affected by the 'zombie plague/virus/whatever' so it probably wouldn't make any difference to them |

Wouldn't they at least have an upset tummy? |

Well the last episode was great! 95% filler. I wish I could stop watching things out of habit.

Better than the unnecessary 90 minute episode of little happenings at Alexandria last week, I felt ever so slightly more engaged in what's going on at Hilltop, and a break from Negan, who as good as he is, seems to only have one 'schtick', his henchman-in-charge-of-Hilltop seems similarly menacing but more jovial, I liked him, basically. And there's an advancement of the plot in place that may be suicidally stupid, but it's more pro-active than 'make me bullets'.
BUT... it is meandering a lot with each entire episode only focused on one character group when they have so many in different places, which is killing the momentum, I mean just look at how dead this topic has been, only 'Easy Street' was any real talking point at all and that was mostly in the iTunes thread. |

Yeah that would be my one gripe with it, episodes shouldn't have to focus solely on one group. That said at least it's going into detail. It just feels like it's slowly building up towards something and hopefully that something will come soon and will pay off. Speculating long term perhaps they'll weaken the Saviours enough to break free of their exploitation and form some sort of alliance with Hilltop and King Ezekiel (then the Saviours would just become a long term enemy) but I can't see Negan going away fully for a long time, which makes it a forgone conclusion that Carl's going to fail in killing him so hopefully there'll be some other kind of actual result from his little 'trip'.

Really enjoyed the latest episode! Nice to see Tara get some actual air time and I'm LOVING seeing more of Rosita this season! She's fast becoming a fave and I hope she gets to properly kick ass soon (against something that isn't a walker!) Love that there's somewhere secret (at least for now) that isn't a bad place! Fully expecting to find a couple of those women scurry to Alexandria though in future episodes due to Saviours managing to find it and ransack it.
This series has been a lot more subdued and slower than recent series, but I'm quite liking it, although I'm bored of separate stories constantly. Just have a huge group of them together for a few episodes and try and work things out! |

I've tried, I've really tried. I've watched every episode since series one - but it just gets worse. I think its time to give up (for me anyway).

Pretty much enjoyed that episode, you do need a light episode now and than. I can see Cindy joining the main group at some point, when the rest of the girl community get mauled I suppose.

Well I enjoyed Sunday night's episode. Good to see Negan back ... but boy oh boy - the wasted chances to off him (glad they didn't though).
I'm really starting to like Father Gabriel. |

I'm enjoying this less and less each week. I find Negan very one dimensional.

I'm finding it really difficult to like this series as much, I feel there are too many characters and the story feels so spread out. Morgan/Carol have been in what 1 eoisode out of 7? Ridiculous. The only good thing about this series so far is Negan.

It's spreading out way too much, at least they're trying to counteract that with the latest episode which had a ton of plots in it, but that was still reliant on it being a long episode. I don't know why it's taking so much longer for them to cover all their characters this season and still feel like not much gets done.
Also I really question why we need three non-Alexandria potential allies against the Saviours. The Hilltop will be necessary, and I can see the use of the Kingdom as a potential future haven, but with those there then what does Tara's secret community add to the story at all besides give a place for her character to be for... one whole episode? It needs to focus a bit more. |
