I still care about the story line, but I feel like I'd care less if this wasn't a spinoff of TWD. I'm not really being blown away by the acting talent, and I'm not really all that engaged with the series. I'm going to keep watching for now. I'm hoping things kind of level out and start improving.

 

They are still way before that. They escaped the CDC 65 days after the global outbreak. On FTWD they are still within about 3 weeks after it went global.

 

Love the x files .. the nostalgia alone made me watch season 10...

I thought it was awesome when Daryl found a carton of morley cigarettes (the same brand the smoking man from x files smokes)

 

I was going by this

LOL. I forgot the link

Yeah, over 8 weeks total at the CDC. Only about 3 weeks for FTWD.


I have to admit, they are learning quickly on FTWD, compared to TWD. 3 months into the apocalypse on TWD most of them still didn't realize any death makes you turn.

 

Haha at this thread! I feel like the OP has given up along with most people, I'm so glad I don't waste my time on this show

 

I thought they were further along, on FTWD. Oh well, I tried

 

I somehow engaged my TV's zoom feature and couldn't get out of it, so the first time I watched it someone would be visible on the left-hand side and Maddie would be off-screen, just hair visible on the right-hand side. I would be staring at leaves or a wall while the dialog went on. Finally I thought, Why am I trying to fix this? It's actually more endurable this way.

In addition to my zoom problem, I have the stupid new Comcast box that finally gives 1080 resolution--but keeps freezing and then displaying hallucinatory colors so I miss long passages of what's going on. None of the sudden gaps in continuity have bothered me very much, though. It was interesting to learn here that the poor man with the little boy gave Travis a pair of shoes. What a good guy. He has so little, Travis's son tries to kill his child, and he still gives away a pair of shoes. But my point is that the show makes the same amount of sense if I have seen what is happening or if I haven't seen it.

 

Wait, this is the season finale? Episode 7? Isn't there 16 episodes?

This is really the Season 2 Hershel farm on SPEED.

 

Mid season finale. Will be back in August.

 

The strange thing is that this episode, with all of its oddities,was so much better than all of the prior episodes which were really lame. The last one was better too. (Keep in mind, "better" is relative to things like "unwatchable".) It was really strange because three, four if you count Celia--people go berserk in a single episode-- Chris, Daniel, and Nick. The entire family gets split up. What Nick did was heart breaking for his mother -- as must be the loss of Travis. But Madison's face never shows emotion --is that acting or is that the character? So the story left me with these comments: (1) Nick: he wants to get away from all the killing, so he joins the hordes of infected whose only activity is killing anyone and anything left alive? What's he planning on eating? Strand's diagnosis of him seemed spot on. (2) Madison-- she did a terrific job tricking Celia, who apparently was eaten down to the last morsel, and --as a mass murderer happy to kill others while she stayed alive - certainly deserved it;(3) Chris's story -- not very credible, not well acted -- but good for Travis for electing to try to save his son and keep the others safe; (4) Daniel -- okay, he can go berserk now if he wants to but it seemed like an awfully sudden, extreme and contrived case of PTSD/guilt, but did he have to burn down the entire estate? (5) Good for Strand for standing up to Celia to bury Thomas Abigail and for rescuing Madison, Alecia and Ofelia when stuff hit the fan - even though he always acts like he's only out for Number One and (6) Abigail is likely still there because Nick made it back with Luis.

So, yeah-- the show has been mediocre at best and this episode made me wonder why they saved up all this berserk behavior (with only small hints of prior troubles and (2) to kill some important characters so that the show can prove that TWD isn't the only show that can kill characters. They were smart not to kill Strand. He's carrying the show.

 

I have no problem with people complaining about the show, I do it myself sometimes, even though I still really enjoy this show as entertainment even if it's not on TWD level. However, discussion should offer points as to how they should or could have made it better, or points to where they hope they show heads to be fixed. If you are just complaining each week without offering any valuable discussion, well that's not the point of a discussion forum either. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism of the show.

There are things I point out that I dont like but I'll explain in some detail why and what they should have done. That makes for a better discussion than "Whoa this sux0rs plz die"

If Daniel's visions and being haunted of his past wasn't a good idea, where should they have taken his character? If he's just this cool guy who is always awesome and on top of things non stop, I personally think that would get old eventually.

 

Aw crap!

 

It is pretty hard overall to not compare the 2 shows too.
Sure I try to let this one stand on its own but we already know so much from the real thing that it makes it impossible to ignore what to me seems so obvious now even realizing how fresh this all is to the new group.

Also Rick and Shane were trained to Protect and Serve in their way and Maddy and Travis were trained to Protect and Serve in their way.

Those who can, Do and this who can not, Teach,as the saying goes!

I think this is a huge part of the difference in the 2 shows overall.

I sure would not want to be in Ca when this all goes down!

 

LOL

 

Who died and left you in charge of the forum? People are allowed to post what they want. Don't want any negativity? Then don't open a thread called "I don't even care anymore".

I was surprised by how bad the show was. I posted it in a thread that was about how bad the show was. Bedwetters came in a whined about people not liking the show.

 

Ahh. So the people who get tired of others coming in and trashing the show on that shows own forum are called bedwetters???Gochya.

And a criticisms and complaints thread should be opened up for all the people who want to criticize the episode instead of everyone opening up their very own thread.

 

I hardly think 1 thread is "constantly coming in", or as you said in your last post "filling up the message boards".

You knew what it was when you opened it. If you want a place where only people who agree with you are allowed to post, then you should probably set up your won forum.

And yeah, bedwetters pretty much covers it. Man up. If you don't want to read anything negative, then don't open a thread which ADVERTISES it is negative in the title. And people can post what and where they want, be that in the criticisms thread or by making their own thread (or many threads, if that's what they want), and you get absolutely no say in it.
