Hey Carl

Submitted by coachdad on

I was on the board a few months ago telling the story of getting to take my son and dad to the Indiana game. There was a poster who told me the gate that he worked at and told me to holler Hey Carl and he might be able to get my son a voucher for it being his first trip to the Big House. I have forgotten the gate number. Carl if you are out there can you remind me of your gate number. The date is rapidly approaching and the excitement is building. Thanks I appreciate it>

have hate-watched portions of the show for years now as my wife is an avid fan, and I have to say, this is the first season since really the beginning of the second season where I have been remotely engaged.  The show became really formulaic, and zombies are only scary until you kill like 5,000 of them without too much difficulty and then what you have is the lack of a real antagonist or any real drama.  Negan on the show is very contrived and overly bombastic, cartoonish even, but he is at least something to engage the audience and make the show feel as though it has legitimate stakes again.

Ugh. I would do a lot of weird things to have my wife love this show.

I can only watch it if she's away from the house and I'm at home, which is rare. She sleeps like a rock at night, but I will be burdened with text after text telling me to turn off the TV or die the moment a zombie growl radiates around the house (even at the lowest volume possible that even an excellent hearing man can barely decipher).

Other than this fact, I love my wife to pieces. I could probably come up with a couple other annoyances about her, but this is what stands out right now due to your comment.

TWD is losing me. Carl has grown up and is a man which means those zombies have been staggering around for 6 years. Thats a hell of a calorie burn- where are that many zombies finding food? They sure can't run down deer. Fiction is fiction but its getting too unbelievable.

 

The show is stuck and is resorting to too much violence to make up for it.

Male life expectancy in the US in 1911 was 50 years.   Currently in the US it is 76 years.  The lowest 14 states in terms of LE are, in order, MS, AL, LA, WDC, WV, AR, OK, KY, TN, SC, GA, MO, IN, and NC.  There is a 7 year difference between #1 Minnesota and #51 Mississippi.  2,500 extra days is a long time.  What the fuck was this thread about again?
