A24 4,322 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Indeed, Quint. Well put! Also, it's like a resetting of the world ... A new start ...there's something alluring about that ... even if it means one has to knife a zombie through his eyeball a few times a day.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yes. Maybe the reason The Walking Dead is so popular is because it represents the ultimate video game. Or the ultimate violent male fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Or the ultimate violent male fantasy.I'd put my money on this. It's a very primal experience to watch The Walking Dead. It's a rare opportunity to tap into that animal side of our natures and not feel guilty about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,662 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I never liked that ending much. Regardless of word usage, the statement isn't strong enough IMO, to follow such a dramatic pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's just more misplaced conservative nannying bullshit anyway. Yes of course you can show people being blown away, mutilated and beheaded, but don't you fucking DARE say fuck on tv!Season 4 was great pretty much from start to finish, but that finale ruined it. Although it was for more reasons than stupid censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,322 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 During the first eppie of S4, I was very annoyed with Netflix' out of sync issues (again). Finally solved it by putting on the subtitles. Grrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 AMC renews The Walking Dead for a sixth season before season 5 starts airing Scott M. Gimple will be the show runner again; he's been the show runner since season 4. Season 1 was Frank Darabont, and Seasons 2 and 3 were Glen Mazzara.

nightscape94 965 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I wonder if the creative team needed some extra assurance due to the way season 5 may end. Cliffhanger I'm sure. This show isn't going anywhere for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The show can run as long as they keep Darryl alive. Once they kill that character, female viewers will rise up in revolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Probably the best season opener they've had, aside from the one that started it all, and probably even better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,322 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm still watching the previous season (one more eppy to go, I think). Overall, it was too much of the same (prison, then the Governor, blah, blah) but I kinda like the eppies when the group is dispersed. I certainly like the people that terrible Glen has encountered , you know, that big ginger guy, the girl that's dressed as a hot pants soldier and Eugene (is it?), the so-called man with the solution. Hopefully, they will will stick around for a while.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Excellent season premiere. The nice thing about getting all the supporting characters back together is all those shocking deaths to savor.I'm slightly saddened by the return of the fan favorite character shown after the end credits, because I thought I had successfully argued why he didn't need to return, but alas, he is a fan favorite.

KK 3,307 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think for me, that was easily the best season-opener yet, or at least as far as my memory of this show goes. Great pace, a good dose of disturbing acts and the reunion was definitely welcomed. Effective stuff.Now the question is, where does the season go from here? It can either go back to the usual dull filler stuff, or ride on with an intriguing new season arc (maybe the whole "cure" thing).And I don't remember who the guy at the end...

Has it started? Jesus, I had no idea, I thought we were still ages away! Every single season of the show during it's entire run has begun in October.Right. I've never stuck to air dates with this show, I just watch the episodes as and when, usually after at least half of them have already aired. I only got into the show after season 2, which was much better than the first. Quintus - doesn't know when Game of Thrones comes back either.

A24 4,322 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So you like cozy campfire chats, nightscaper? To hear people talk about themselves is the worst kind of character development I can imagine. No, much better was yesterday's episode The Grove where a child sympathizes with The Walkers and must therefore be dealt with. Harsh episode. Life is hard.
