Way OT - Weird question about the Walking Dead last 2 episodes NO SPOILERS
Because of the fact that this is the place where I get ALL of my information from......(good information anyways). I have a weird question about the 2 latest episodes of the WD. I watched them both yesterday to get caught up. While watching, I have noticed something weird with the filming, and I was wondering if anybody else had noticed it as well. It just seemed "weird", like very low budget.
Did anyone else notice that? Could be a setting on the TV, or who knows........could have been the gummy bears I ate.
They were only going to D.C. cuz frickin Eugene said he knew some science that could cure the zombie plague. Once he admitted that was just a lie to get Abraham & Rosita to protect him, goin to D.C. was non-essential.
Alexandria was where they were gonna stay forever, til Negan torched it. I believe that was the point of some terribly boring montages about how boring safety & stability are. They did that at the prison too.
Planting gardens is this show's way of saying a) safety is some boring shit & b) here comes a bad guy to wreck all that.
But the whole thing for like, 2+ years now has been built on the premise that if Negan kills Glen, viewers will hate him so much they'll stick through just about ANY stupid shit to see Rick kill him someday. But then ever since the mind-numbingly boring scene of Negan & Gabriel stuck in the trailer they've been trying to un-demonize him, which...WTF?!
If we don't hate him so much we'd go to Alexandria ourselves to watch him die, what are we sticking around for? My guess is this show's run atop the ratings will be ending VERY SOON!
Old guy lament - Carl needed a fucking haircut and Rosita needs more sex scenes.
And the producers wasted 80% of an episode killing him off.
TV Settings -- Turn off Auto Motion Plus (or any Motion Smoothing). Makes everything look like a Mexican soap opera.

I keep watching religiously every Sunday with a friend of mine but both of us have been underwhelmed for a while.
I guess it's bound to happen when you have so many characters but it's annoying how you sometimes have to wait 4-5 episodes before you see certain people and by then, you've completely forgotten what they were doing. The garbage people were annoying.
Even the little things are starting to annoy me. Like the fact that Maggie has been pregnant for three years now.
shows no physical signs of being pregnant and has no pregnancy related limitations.
Not true!
Remember that time some sort of pregnancy complication a cpl years back led them right into Negan's elaborate trap, he having anticipated said complication and blocked roads, strung walkers from bridges & crafted walker daisy chains, and forced them to carry her through a swampy wood right to his RV?
When the plot calls for it, every year or two, this pregnancy does cause Maggie some inconvenience!
I suppose she's being pregnant for all the other women who have somehow avoided the biological imperative of reproducing, 2nd only to the biological imperative of surviving long enough to reproduce.
I really didn't know walking dead was still a cultural thing. It used to be awesome, but then it got less awesome after its way of being awesome has repeated itself 15 weeks a year for 5 years.
Loved it at first and now it's almost unbearable to watch, but I feel I have too much time invested to just quit the show altogether.
I'm really hoping that Negan and the Saviors kill everyone except for Darryl and then the show ends. Rick has turned into a little bitch and it's just hard to watch.
I'm usually a VERY big critic of TV shows, but to me Walking Dead is just fine right now. Should they wrap up the Negan war this season and have next season be the finale? Absolutely. It's time. But for it being a zombie show the writers have done a pretty good job keeping things fresh and surprising for as long as they have. Again, with the limited plot of a zombie apocalypse. The way the creaters have different ways of telling each episode (this past one using Name Chapters) is pretty cool.
I think GOT was, overall, the best show on TV... until this past season 7. I think GOT fell below Walking Dead this past season. Reason? Predictability plain and simple. GOT simply became too predicitable, distances in the show became irrelevant, and the main characters got plot armor. (How many times now has Jon Snow been saved at the last second?)
At least with Walkinig Dead the writers are bold enough to kill off main characters unexpectedly still. Sure, Rick is still around, but consequences of actions matter still in WD.
of Thrones had some struggles in season 7, but the worst Game of Thrones episode is better than the best Walking Dead episode. The Walking Dead is not television elite, it is not GOT, Breaking Bad, the Wire, Deadwood, the Sopranos. It is not in that category of show.
I don’t think as a show it is going to age well. It is basically Gilliagan’s Island + The A Team + Zombies.
The also added the names of the character like its a chapter in a book now. I'm not liking the past couple of seasons. I was pumped when Negan was announced but its so lame. The first season was amazing and they have made it too main stream or whatever now. It's time for the walking dead to end.
I don't even care about the Whisperers anymore and that arc because they screwed up the Negan one.
Season 1 was badass...I tuned in recently and it's like a soap opera with zombies. Couldn't watch more than 5 minutes.
