Quintus 5,399 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd have been much more keen if it took place on another continent entirely, but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonzoe 18 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I don’t think the season 5 finale needed to be 90 minutes long. And the number of 4 -5 minute commercial breaks took away from the episode’s suspense and pacing, imo. However I still thought it was a good episode to an otherwise excellent season. And as for the upcoming cash grab/spin off I’ll probably check it out out of curiosity if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 By the time it got rolling, I didn't want it to end. But more happened in the last five minutes than most fourth season episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I watched it without the breaks and it was very well paced. If I had to endure so many adverts like you guys I wouldn't bother watching these sorts of shows at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Shouldn't we have a separate thread for the new show? Gave up on TWD, but I'll give this one a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 So I finally caught up.Glad to see the season finally picked up in its last couple of episodes. Naturally, any mention of "paradise" meant things were going to go shit, as much as I wanted it to be real. So that was predictable. And I don't necessarily believe things had to play out the way it did. But I like the new characters, the great reflective character moments, and I really like the promise Morgan brings.Overall, true to Walking Dead's nature, it's been a wildly inconsistent season. But the highs of the opening episodes and closing episodes make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 He didn't kill Otis, he merely caused his death indirectly. As in season 1, he indirectly caused the death of Ed Peletier, or at least TWD wiki credits him with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Think I had a blonde moment tbh. The reason I'm thinking The Walking Dead comes around more often than say Game of Thrones is because there's always a season break isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter.anschutz 43 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I watched. That review is right in that it was slow but still decent. I didn't read anything about the characters beforehand, so I was a bit confused as to whose kid was whose (in one hospital scene it seemed like Nick and the girl had a bit of a thing going on, but apparently they're siblings?). I need to watch it a second time to better understand the relationships, I think.I do like that this show will chronicle the collapse of society, which TWD largely skipped over with Rick's convenient coma. I don't really foresee this spin-off show lasting as long as TWD, because the one thing that sets itself apart from it's parent show is the time in which it is set - the beginning of the outbreak. Once society has fallen and the walkers become too numerous (and the city too dangerous, like Atlanta), the show becomes virtually identical to TWD; they will be the same stories of survival in this new world. Do we really need two shows about the same thing made by the same people at that point?Oh, and the music wasn't that great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It's on our DVR. Our excitement level for it is about equal to the excitement level we've had for the second half of the most recent season: "Ehhhhhh, we'll watch it when we get to it."

mstrox 6,651 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I thought it was pretty good. Worth watching, Usually my spouse doesn't like things that move very slowly, but she was attentive so I guess she liked it too. Outside of a few chainsaw-synth-sounding moments, not much jumped out at me musically. It seemed pretty lightly scored in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I don't think they ruled out the possibility of the two shows crossing over at some point, but they're in absolutely no rush, and it's probably the furthest thing on their minds. This new show is starting essentially when the first show did except there is no jump cut, and obviously more time that has past since then. And since they're on separate sides of the country it would probably be extremely hard without it seeming forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
