Last season had one of the worst season finales I've seen, even worse than the last Game of Thrones finale.  Governor went out like a bitch, which trivialized him; even when he comes back I'll be like "meh." Where does this go now? Still getting attacked at the prison, people dying....meh.

The arc in season 2 where they're trying to find the little girl was the best thing in the show.

I'll continue to watch just because there's not a whole lot else on right now. it's definitely less palatable week to week. I thought S3 started strong and ended up about as bad as S2, but S3 was the first season I watched live. my expectations are pretty low at this point. forgot they have a new showrunner coming in though. maybe there is hope.

I liked that they told a singular story that was relevant to the group and didn't try to cram it into 1 or 2 episodes.

Spend weeks searching for a lost 8 year old girl during the zombie apocalypse,  brehs.

well the point is trying to retain their humanity and not giving up on someone just because it's inconvenient. it was a long-term storyline that had an emotionally satisfying payoff. shrug, they haven't had such a cohesive arc in the show since.

Best part of S3 was T-Dawg dying and nobody giving a shit :heh

I knew he was fucked when he started talking big. He was telling Rick how things were gonna go, planning shit out, etc...at that point I knew he was about to die. They spent like 5 minutes mourning Old Battered Wife Chick, meanwhile the guy who saved her damn life got no love  :lol

hopefully Michone is next.

I thought that season dragged like hell. It was obvious zombies were in the barn, at least to me, and I assumed Sophia must be in there.

but more importantly, FUCK that season for killing my nicca Dale. Hershel is aite but I need Dale back in my life as the "old white guy kicking knowledge."

I don't think I've ever actually not read a comic because of the art... I didn't know there were people that were so shallow, lol. But then again there are people who refuse to watch black and white movies so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I guess I can't throw stones though, I didn't watch HxH until two weeks ago because of the bad character designs. :ufup

Yeah, I just don't understand. Sorry.

How often do people say they don't understand someone else's perspective, when what they really mean is they have so much contempt for that perspective that they need to treat it as literally unbelievable?

Anyway, comics are a visual medium.  Ergo, the visual parts matter.  Otherwise they'd be books.

This is why comic book artist exists as a profession, why artists train and hone their craft, and why the choice of which penciller and inker to collaborate with is so deeply important to the writers.  If you want to treat the art in comic books (which are A SERIES OF PICTURES WITH WORDS ON THEM) as incidental, that's fine for you.  But criticizing other people as "shallow" for caring about the thing that makes a comic book a comic book?  C'mon.

S3 had more than a few good episodes but I agree Andrea sucked the life out of so much shit. I really liked the episode with the black buy from the pilot.

I've heard the Governor is a lot more maniacal in the comics, and Rick's group took some heavy losses. Anyone know if he'll be in S4? He went out like such a bitch at the end of S3, it's hard to see him being much of a threat now.

Season 3 was so bad I never watched it again after the break. :(

Season 3 was my first experience with this show and I got to ep 6 or 7 before I couldn't take it anymore. That whole plotline of the main cast vs the dystopian town was the most boring shit ever. I enjoyed watching the main group fucking around in that prison a lot more than all the other shit.

I've given up on the show, and am re-reading the comics, starting with issue 1. It's my second re-read, and I'll be going up to the latest trade paperback.

I couldn't get over how freely and constantly the group was expending ammo.

I also had a hard time with Lori, but rereading the comic and she's just horrible there as well. She's bossy without understanding what she's demanding, and resentful and unsupportive. Hey, girl, you married an authority figure; why are you always trying to undermine him?
Title: Re: Walking Dead Season 4 thread of Red Shirt Holocalypse
Post by: Tasty on October 14, 2013, 10:26:24 AM
Lori gets better around the time she gets knocked up. And then after, well... she's out of the picture, lol.

The ammo thing bites them in the ass later on against Negan/Saviors and they get a lot smarter about it.

Impressions on my twitter feed were quite negative but I thought the episode was good. Some legit tension too, not just with the walkers falling through the roof but with that lady leading Rick to god knows where.

My girl Beth leveling up her will power on some X-COM shit :rejoice


Hershel: Hey Rick, these veggies won't grow in the shade. But if we cut off the sprouts and plant them, maybe that will work *plants sprout in the shade*
 :sabu


my brother thinks the antigen is being spread through air but it seemed obvious it was the water. His argument was that if it's water, everyone would be dead whereas if it's like TB it wouldn't necessarily kill everyone through the air. I don't think ALL the water is dirty, but I wonder about the cleanliness of the group. The first shot was Rick cleaning his face in some water; if other people have been doing that after killing walkers, maybe that's how it's spreading. Sort of like drinking water in a war zone, from a river with bodies in it.

Who cares why zombies work? Zombie fiction is rarely about zombies, it's finding out about human nature when the undead dookie hits the fan.

Monster Island was a great little novel about zombies, and even had a neat little twist on it, but then the author got really weird in the two sequels about following up on why his zombies work this way, and some historical metafiction to support it, and then really strained his ass trying to keep the characters interacting with each other until the end... it all felt forced. Druids? Mummies? Really?

In TWD comics, there has been just one basic nod to what I assume you're all seeing in the show:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
People die who haven't been bitten, and they turn anyway? It happens really early on in the comics, relates to something with Shane, actually, and then they just move on.

The Shane thing was saying they're all infected and will turn however they die anyways, same as the show (eventually) got around to saying (s2 finale.) What happened last night, with the guy being sick enough to die and then come back, is something new and not in the comics (as far as I can remember.)

Basically if a person drank zombie contaminated water, it's possible they could die correct? Like dying of a flu or virus. Not sure if it's a "Zombie Virus," it's probably just that zombies are fucking filthy and thus contamination can overwhelm a human immune system.

They have a doctor, farm dudes, Hershel kicking knowledge...but they couldn't find one crazy anti-government survivalist in the backwoods of Georgia who was familiar with pipe bombs n shit? Come on.

At least they aren't wasting ammo on the walkers at the gate. But still, one day they'll be stabbing walkers and that gate will fall on top of them...then they're all fucked.

Gasoline is valuable, but you don't need a whole lot to make a bomb. Plus, didn't The Governor have grenades and shit? Why not head back to Dingleberry and nab some.

Yup. They clearly don't have a "defense czar" basically. They got Rick farming, Hershel wasting everyone's time on the council, Daryl and Michone doing grocery runs...but who is securing the place? How the hell do they NOT lock cell blocks, especially at night? Like, someone patrols for x time, then is relieved and let back into a cell block by the next person who patrols. That alone would have ensured that Walker Nick couldn't waltz into a cell block without anyone knowing...

Right now they have like 40 people, and only about 7 know how to do anything  :lol

You can't make a bomb with gasoline. It's not self-oxidizing like gunpowder or other explosives. It seems a waste if they used the gunpowder from their bullets to make a pipe bomb.

It's probably better if they put up some boards to keep the walkers from seeing them on the other side of the fence.

Kinda eh episode. Not bad but not particularly good.

I was scared when Carl bum rushed Hershel like that. We all know what happens when Carl and old, wise white men go into the woods alone  :tocry

I realize people act stupid in real life, and therefore it's not a stretch to display that in film/tv/etc. But Daryl checking the radio like that was one of the absolute dumbest things I've ever seen, to the point of just being ridiculous. You have someone in the passenger seat who can turn the dial, god dammit.

This season is starting to remind me of S2, when things slowed to an absolute crawl on the farm as they searched for the little girl.

So far I am enjoying this season way more than three. I really hate Carl, though. With Andrea gone he is the most annoying character. He's always up in everyone's business and his only card he can play is, "I'll tell my dad."

I think they are handling disease way better than they handled Woodberry. It's scarier. It's like Outbreak except you turn into a zombie.

The thing I didn't understand was why Tyrese and everyone else thought the torched corpses were a murder. If the virus is fatal, then how do they know they weren't already dead? It seemed like a non-issue to me. At least we got to sera bit of tough-guy Rick again.

I think one shot showed Rick noticing a bloody hand print on the door, suggesting that they were alive when they were dragged out there.

Doesn't make sense with the Carol knifing in the back of the head flashback scene. But that was probably a red herring/justification for Rick to throw her out.

Also GAF/fanbases misorgyny over female characters on the show is pretty sickening.

Some people claimed I was being misogynist when I complained about Andrea last season. Andrea was just the 2d character that was vastly different from her comic book counterpart. Carol is a pragmatic killer and has changed the most over these four seasons. I hope she returns and I hope things go to shit without her.

I didn't know her name for four years. Me and my bros been calling her Ellen Degenerus  :lol

Another episode that felt like it was stalled. It also really highlighted how few "new" characters are worthwhile. It's still all about Rick, Daryl, etc despite Michonne's dumb ass getting some screen time. Even with 3 black people traveling around together, there is no "is someone going to die" tension.

I figured something would happened to "Carol" once she started popping off at Rick, something that I like to call T-Boning: when a disposable character starts telling Rick how things are going to go, they are dooming themselves to death or worse. I think she'll be back though, seems ridiculous to banish her from the show with no resolution.

Rick being a dumbass tho...giving away a working car and gas just to get rid of her? Why not have her watched, and simply not save her next time she's picking flowers outside the damn gate, totally oblivious to the walkers mere feet away from her.

That was a really good episode. It was intense as fuck and it's probably the most intense yet. Unfortunately, we barely knew any of the characters that died. That guy with the gun who wanted to be with the the other guy (his brother?) that was about to turn. it would have been nice to even just know his name or why he was so attached to that kid. Or the girl that turned. Or that guy that had the bag in his mouth.

I thought Glenn was done for, though. Pretty much everyone who got the blood in their mouth were done.

Overall, this season is going a lot better than the last one.

Dayum at that scene with Glenn at the end. That was probably the most intense moment of the season to me, I think they've killed off nearly every new side-character introduced this season so that kind of feels like a waste. It would be interesting if the Governor is responsible for the flu by putting something in their water supply which is the stream just beyond the gate. It couldn't have been their food because that was probably all foraged, hunted, or canned.

Also isn't it weird that Hershel and the kids seem to be the healthiest people in the quarantine? You know what would be horrible is if it's Darryl that dies to save Michonne.

Interesting ep but I can imagine comic fans were raging at that shit.

The Governor just isn't an interesting character in the show. I understand him feeling like he has gained a new family, but at the same time it also seems ridiculous that he's completely given up on revenge (for now). There's no way he doesn't revert back to murderous motherfucker.

At this point I'm interested in seeing how his new family dies BUT I'd rather see the resolution of the Carol situation (and the flu) at the prison. Seems like this episode could have happened earlier in the season. At this point the next ep will be all Governor again, and the finale will be resolution at the prison+new conflict with the Governor. Which feels like a repeat of last season, just with lower stakes I guess.

Can't wait for Carl's POV episode, if it's like the comics it's gonna bring the justicey feels.

In the comic, the tank was known not to be shit as well, but it was voiced in the dialog. The guy in it had taken months just to figure out how to drive it, no-one knew how to work the guns. The Governor was hoping it would demoralize Rick's crew into giving up, or at least fighting in a panicked state. It didn't work.

Yeah, the Negan/Saviors arc does feel a bit like Woodbury, but it has been varied enough in who is in danger, and how all the Characters Who Are Not Rick react to it differently. Hell, even Michonne is in a different space than where she had been, and it is interesting to see her reflect on her own part of The Governor's motivations.

She lied to Rick to save Lizzie,  then lied to Tyreese for the aforementioned reasons. It doesn't have to make sense, because this show is stupid.

Okay, if she lied to save Lizzie why would she put up with Lizzie's bullshit for so long when warning-bells were there as early as the prison, then?

Let's say this is true: What is Lizzie's motivation for killing the prison's sick? Lizzie admitted she killed her sister for the sake of "showing" Carol they (walkers) aren't as dangerous as Carol and everyone else has told her they are. She was even close to killing Judith to prove this point.

Lizzie wouldn't/couldn't have known that the people that were sick were going to turn or not: What benefit would Lizzie have in doing that?

Carol's reasoning (to protect the group) makes the most sense; facing an unknown threat (the virus) with no means to stop it's spreading (outside a quarantine that may be too late to enforce as shown as the "series" progressed with that storyline) outside of possibly killing the carriers (which, IMO is stupid from a medical and logical perspective on illnesses, but roll with it) that would stop the infection possibly... why would Carol lie about that?

So basically: What is Lizzie's motivation in killing the sick beyond "she's crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!111!1" that you're going with?

Further more: How would Lizzie have dragged the bodies of the two outside, given she's a child and then set them on fire if she wanted to see them turn?

I don't disagree that there is some weird gaping logic plotholes that the writers do (hell the same happens in the comics at times), but this is one line of logic that simply doesn't connect with what we are shown/seen. Carol lying simply doesn't make sense. Her wanting to die by Tyreese's hand by admitting the murders? Sure, that's logical and seen by her giving him the gun. Her lying to protect the girls? That's a little too much of a stretch.

I also wonder if the show makers have ever even been camping, or in the woods at all. The little hunting scenes are all pretty laughable. After three years (I assume that's the show timeline) his crossbow bolts are FINALLY breaking down :lol

I heard people say there was a super spoiler-rific gif floating around from the finale, but honestly after watching the episode I have no idea what it could be. That shit was WEAK. Even the part with Daryl's group of hillbillies getting owned was lackluster. Shit felt way too convenient.

Unless you're an old dude giving inspiration speeches, you don't die in Walking Dead. I never feel like characters are in danger. I'm not saying every show needs a Red Wedding or some shit but jeez. Every single adult who survived the prison attack is still alive. Only people who died are them two lil girls. And don't get me started on that shit. Homegirl spent a season as a certified goon, killing animals and walkers, only to go insane? The fuck. Sure I understand kids might go crazy under those circumstances, but that shit was weak breh.

Walking Dead is continual disappointment, then everyone gets hyped up when it's coming back so you try again but nope, still boring.

I was talking about it with my brother...most shows we watch do a good job of setting up the next season. If I had never read the books, I would have viewed the end of Game of Thrones S3 as pretty damn shocking, and would be pumped to see what happens next. At the end of Homeland S1 I couldn't wait to see how things could possibly continue (too bad S2 was trash, but the point is that S1 ended with a nice hook). The Wire seasons had nice end points, and often some resolution where you'd be interested in how the next season would go. Breaking Bad almost always ended with a nice hook for the next season.

But Walking Dead just feels like one big fucking circle. They literally spent the entire season on multiple groups walking from the prison to Terminus...to get captured. Why not set it up so that the season starts with them all locked up, having flashbacks of how they got there? That way you're telling two stories at the same time, and get some resolution before the finale. SMH.

oh well it is what it is. There's still Homeland and Downton Abbey to look forward to this year.

Human skeletons that looked like they were recently stripped clean. They're most likely a bunch of cannibals. Still a weak ass finale though.
