The Walking Dead

[DelPen]

I think they've laid it on pretty thick.

Place is poorly thought out in terms of real actual survival.
The current residents are soft and have no idea what's out there.
Rick's view of the world being repeated "People see you for what they think they can get out of you".

They are taking this place over, and while I think the congresswoman understands that the groups experience are what's needed, that experience is not going to mesh at all with her vision for the community.

That's why I'm good with the drama here. It's not forced like hanging out on the farm or having the fever thing in the prison. These are two goups of people who have wildly different world views, one based on living through hell for 2+ years and seeing their loved ones die at the hands of walkers or worse and escaping near death from being someone's food compared to the group who has never been inconvieneced more than not being able to leave the safety of their walled in paradise and their biggest worry is hurting the feelings of someone by making them a dish that's not their favorite for someone who was eating feral dogs a few days earlier.

These people have no idea what's going on and that other people are really the threat. And not to get too spoilerly that's the dirction the comic book has taken pretty much since they got to Alexandria where the walkers are pretty much a plot device now to enhance tension by making the situation all the more dramatic.

Yes....but there's a back story to his joke.

[ville5]

Ah cool. Thought i heard him say bi- curious and all i could think of was George Carlin's routine.

Kevin smith seems like he'd be ok to hang out with

...for like 5 minutes. Then you would want to throw him in front of a bus

[FreeCandy44]

Kevin Smith is a god and you should be so lucky to even get five minutes of his time.

Anyone else (still) shocked that the Walking Dead is TV's #1 drama for the main advertising demo (18-49 y/o)?

Sopranos came up in the TV thread and I mentioned I didn't recall any flatly bad episodes. The thing with TWD is that the gap between a great episode and an awful one is a gaping chasm. It pulls in the ratings based on those really great moments, but you gotta slog through some Beth episodes to get there.

Kevin Smith is awesome. His podcasts are awesome too.

So we'll see elsewhere in the same universe at the initial outbreak, with different characters. Sounds like if cast wrong it could flop. But a two season commitment out of the gate, wow.

Also - been a few episodes since Morgan was alluded to... assume he is still out there somewhere.

[SolidSnake]

The Spinoff doesn't interest me as of right now, let's finish this before them putting a spinoff out.

Cliff Curtis can carry the show, he's a really good actor. Even if it sucks it will still be watched by a few million every week and will kill the boredom of the summer with out the regular show.

What's up with the section of the wall with the obvious gap at the bottom.

[DropEmJayBird]

Yes, Abraham just said "Mother Dick"

[DelPen]

Some really graphic deaths this week.

[FreeCandy44]

Its kept my interest this week.

[FreeCandy44]

Huh....

[SolidSnake]

Soooooo

Spoiler:

in the comics are Rick and the group considered "bad people" like they are doing in the show? Gabriel has to be tied to Negan after "tattle telling" on Rick and the group Glenn was excellent in this episode he was bad son of a gun

Spoiler:

I think Gabriel pulls the same crap in the comics and is proven wrong. He has nothi to do with Negan and I don't remember Gabriel popping up really too much after this little coup.

Ah ok thank you I'm guessing Maggie probably kills Gabriel in one of these last 2 episodes

[Malkamaniac]

I hate everyone in Alexandria. I think it's because most of these people are still clinging to a life that doesn't exist.

[Gaucho]

Yeah, their hopefulness is annoying. Stupid liberals.
