MikeyVanBasten3 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So after I was disappointed in season 4 I gave this a break for a year and I'm now finally caught up. It's still not as compelling as the 1st 3 seasons but it's passable . I just want The governor and Shane back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) So after I was disappointed in season 4 I gave this a break for a year and I'm now finally caught up. It's still not as compelling as the 1st 3 seasons but it's passable . I just want The governor and Shane backDuno if you've read the last couple pages but I said something similar. For me the atmosphere is entirely different now but in a bad way. There was a time where Michonne and Daryl really intrigued me as characters and I'd have been gutted if they had been killed; more so Daryl. But for me they've lost their mysteriousness. Michonne has went from a dark edgy character to another bore tbh. As for Daryl, I can't remember the last time we saw him on screen for longer than 3 minutes. He just seems to be riding around The other day when Michonne almost got bitten I really wasn't bothered. I'm at the stage now where I wouldn't give a shit if Daryl went! I think it's clear I'm not the biggest lover of this show now. The fact I enjoyed last week's episode maybe suggests character development is more my cup of tea. I like action don't get me wrong, but if I don't care about the characters then it's hard to get that adrenalin rush. I particularly enjoyed that episode that got slated: the one with Daryl and Beth. It softened Daryl as a character and we got a bit more insight into his past. I'd like the show to take that route with the filler episodes. Tell us more about the characters' history. It might make me will them on instead of secretly wanting them to get eaten every time a zombie attack occurs Edited November 7, 2015 by 19QOS19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this series is as much about introducing new characters into the group and so some of the established ones have taken a bit of a back seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various places, maybe not so much here but can certainly mind reading and speaking to folk who for some reason didn't enjoy it and classed it as just filler. Yes I suppose that's what they are doing more of now, but for me personally I'd prefer them to go into a more detailed past of the ones we have just now. It doesn't appear that the writers share my sentiment though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 IIRC the Daryl and Beth episode has the lowest user rating on imdb so far by a fair margin. General opinion was it was shite filler. I loved it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it though. Yeah, I defo remember it being slated at the time for being "boring as f**k". Not so much on this forum right enough. I couldn't understand the criticism. Daryl is generally one of the favourites, so why wouldn't folk want to find out a little more about his past, as we did in that episode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 This guy was the best character on the show, was gutted when he died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Only half way through the episode, but the lads that play Coral and the other young boy are astonishingly bad actors, absolutely terrible. Awful characters as well. Hope both die soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Another filler episode absolute guff. The trailer for next week looks fairly decent though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Assuming it was just the blood from where the Wolf had died, before he became the walker that she tried to kill. Seems they've completely brushed over Rick cutting his hand (and his escape from the RV), so that was evidently just a tease. Still got to assume Glenn turns up one way or another at some point (I still think he's dead). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuffman Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 You did see an overhead view of all the walkers surrrounding the dumpster in next weeks preview 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I wondered if the speech abour her never knowing whats happened or why it happened was a huge hint at whats to come. It would be outstanding if they never explained what had happened to Glenn as everytime Maggie was in danger youd be expecting him to appear. Looks like a much needed Darryl episode next week too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Bit annoying that they didn't show Rick escaping the herd that was gonna trap him in the RV, and the fact that his hand was ready for falling off, and all of a sudden it's fine... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming he just legged it straight away, but there was no bandage or anything on his hand. It's as if it didn't even happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The bowlcut on that boy is horrific, no wonder he doesn't leave his room. I guess they're teasing Jessie's other wean shooting Carl or at least attempting to. We can only hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 As filler episode go I thought it was decent enough. Hopefully that kid kills Carl, I hate everything about him. f**k knows why the show feel they need to keep him with that horrendous hair. I'm really looking forward to next week, looks like its Darryl back to his best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) When he was running towards the gates at Alexandria right at the start, I was actually looking at his hands expecting to see one of them missing Edited November 10, 2015 by IainMorton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
