Truckers had moment of weakness?

 

I kept rewinding to figure out how Quinn got the drop on June. Still no idea.

Why was sick Al sleeping with her feet sticking out of the car? Nice cross breeze? She didn't worry abt walkers?

 

Al certainly went down fast. Walker goo illness? Wouldn't rule out dengue fever. lol

 

I liked this week's Talking Dead the least of ever. It misses the energy of a live audience after the episode airs. Guests were in a rut of praising other people, which gave it that empty feeling of an Extras section on a DVD where no one really has anything to say. Also, the guest had kind of a forced dutiful laugh that distracted me every time.

Jenna's bad aim at Quinn's nether yea was a good story, but just no energy on the set.

 

I was wondering how Al got sick but they made sure to show the same kind of water bottles Al was drinking was the ones the FW was tainting.

 

Also this truly does feel like a new show with the heavy focus on June, Morgan, and the new characters. Alicia who? Victor what? Luciana?!?

 

When Al and June met up with Morgan and the trio (miraculously at the last second), and Morgan said Can we get these people some water food?, what they actually got was a bottle of water each.

And, yes, it was the same kind of water because this is the truck that is the source of the water bottles in the boxes.

And Al was standing up (instantly recovered) (from the right medicine miraculously discovered in the bus). There was so much visual emphasis on the water, I think it does have to be that, but shouldn't June have encountered a tainted bottle, too? Weren't Al and June together all episode until the moment when Al sent June on foot to supposedly look for medicine?

If I were chasing Al's tank, I would finish changing the tire (the lug nuts are already off and the vehicle is already jacked up) before trying to catch a tank. Plus, then Al would still be right there with me so she could immediately get the nonexistent medicine.

This was the worst episode ever for last-second coincidences and inexplicable choices.

Better if they discovered the talkie was dead just before Morgan spoke than immediately after he spoke. Just a tiny bit better, but every tiny bit would help when the plotting is this lazy.

Sorry, rambling, so I highlighted my question.

 

Yeah, seems probable.

I agreed with most of the review, too. This episode lurched from one last-second coincidence to the next.

 

This is the same flower that runs riot in my front yard in the spring. I tried to post a picture but I got a message that I was a security risk.

Which reminds me, has anyone else noticed that the spell check no longer highlights errors when you are typing?

Weak: are those tapes nailed to the van? If you care so much, why not just pick your camera, and your stupid tapes (nevermind the more useful material you got in that van) and throw everything in the pickup instead of threatening to stay behind....

 

Just finally watched it. So people keep leaving this tank behind with the keys in it? THREE times this episode?? The tank that Al values more than life itself.

 

I think this was the worst episode of the entire series. It's getting really boring. Totally disliking the second half of this season.

 

I am a guy counting mile markers to meet someone:

18
19
20
27

And I don't notice.

 

I am someone with a walkie talkie that I need to communicate but the battery is dead. I come across another one. I use it as a hammer, then talk on it so I know it is working. I then throw it and leave it behind.

 

Agreed. Another dreary almost two hander. Still with the grey washed out colours. Last season, the entire action of this episode would have been wrapped up in 20 minutes.

I nearly gave up when Al decided that the effort of kicking a walker under a car, then kicking a car so it dropped on the zombie's head, was easier than stabbing it in the head. Or simply crawling away when she saw it coming. Then Quinn fooled into thinking he was at mile marker 27. I'm assuming he had to pass 25, 26 to find it. Or he magically happened to stop at the fake one? 'Weak' is the word.

FTWD used to be the highlight of my TV week. Now I'm tuning in hoping they'll give me a reason to keep watching it. As for 'Talking..' afterwards. It used to be funny. Last episode was 'let's see how far we can jam our heads up Colman's backside'. And Jenna Elfman so desperate to prove it is all about her 'craft'.

Roll on October and the new season of TWD, when the adults are back in charge
