I sort of agree with Sir Manchester even if I'm not sure I'd use the same examples. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the show immensely more than he is and I'd have stopped watching if I had nothing but criticisms. But at times the show seems Saturday morning cartoonish - kinda hastily thrown together without much coherence or consistency. For example, what is Karl? A jerk psychopath or just a normal crack-shot kid? And Rick - why did he grab Michonne's wound? He has some governor torture tendencies? The governor - does great creepy charming psychopath, but if he's smart, he wouldn't pull the near rape only to give what's her name back to Glenn. What was the point of that? And Michonne just gets on my nerves - stabs a guy dead because he's freaking out? "I didn't ask for help" - uh, yes you did when you showed up looking like you wanted help. I don't think she's very convincing. I get it that there can be conflicts and inconsistencies but it just hasn't been handled in the most coherent, believable way. I did like Glenn taking his hits and then Asian kicking ass vs. the Zombie - that was a cool scene but all for nothing when he was sold up the river by the white woman! lol!!!111
This is why they aren't using slow zombies in WWZ It just becomes too obvious in a film or tv format that well armed people with vehicles are in no real danger from a few shufflers. Slow zombies work in your classic horror. In this it's too obvious that the zombies are thin on the ground. In the original Atlanta scenes they were better able to make it feel like a real zombie swarm.
I don't think the show "hates women." I'm guessing it's written by guys who don't understand women. I swear the other prisoner said "I'm here" ( as opposed to "I'm in"). Maybe I misunderstood, or was there someone else that you're referring to?
I wouldn't go as far as to say that this show hates women, but they sure struggle to create compelling female characters. They even botched up Michonne, which is a pretty hard thing to do. Just use the comics as a basic framework for the character and then just flesh out her backstory. BTW, I do believe that the shifty, mustached prisoner staying behind with Carl and co will be used as a plot complication in the next episode. Likely he will try something that will end badly for one of the folks who stayed behind with him at the prison. (Everything about that guy screams sex-offender, and in not so subtle ways either)
One of the bigger differences between the show and the source material. There is no doubt he is a psychopath in the comics. I think they are too terrified of such a theme (nascent psychopathy) to use it in the show. Hence why he has been turned into a dead-eye shooter with a slightly cold demeanor.
I see so many people say that but I havent seen that in him in the comics. I am only though Compendium 2 so maybe something happens after that but I dont view him as a psychopath at all. Just a kid forced to handle hard situations long before he should have too.
good episode though im a bit baffled how they got Daryl and knew what he looked like. But it doesnt matter they ruined the moment with the previews for the new episodes.
So unrealistic that a bunch of people on top can't take out 3 people on the ground. This goes against any kind of reality. Also, is this season over?
Is proper Sci-Fi dead? Look at the epicness of the S1 images of the apocalyptic highway in to Atlanta - and compare to what you now have. A classic soap narrative with about 3 sets.
One of my favourite hollywood absurdities is the 'night' attack where the audience can nevertheless see the bad guys perfectly but the baddies have to pretend not to see or hear the goodies
That and these are many of the same guys that took out the army guys like sharpshooters earlier this season.
Yes indeedy. TBF, they gave up all pretenses of consistency a long time ago. Both the protagonists and antagonists are exactly what they need to be in that specific episode.
To be fair, when they took out the army reserve guys they had set up the ambush on their terms, it was daylight and they had complete control of the situation. Here there's chaos going on because they're not sure how many people are attacking, the smoke is still lingering about, people have already been shot. They're nervous, they're unsure of what's going on, where the enemy is. Yes, they got one of them, but they don't know how many there are. They're not in control of the situation. One thing I wouldn't have done was put a bullet in Oscar's head when he died. I would have left him there and taken the chance that he would turn and maybe cause some havoc inside the gates. The thing that annoyed me the most was when Michhone and Andrea met up, Michonne said nothing to her about her friends being there or Glenn and Maggie being held. I've been really hard on this show since day one, but I have to admit... season three is turning out to be the best yet. Oh and one last thing, Tyreese!
Would Andrea have believed her? I mean she's sleeping with the governor now, and Michonne has always been skeptical of him and she'd just stabbed him in the eye with glass. I don't think Andrea would have.
I think it's something that would have lingered in Andrea's mind, and then after that she gets a good view of the head and the Governor cradling his zombie daughter, yeah she might just freak out. It would have especially hit her when they unveiled Daryl.
There has never been anything said or any type of confirmation that Michonne knows that this is Andrea's group.
While that's true she could have said something simply as a 'see I told you there was something wrong with this place.'
Key tactics for assaulting generic army guys: 1. Set up ambush to catch your own men in crossfire 2. Have commander drive in to kill zone 3. Surprise!
I don't think they had it set up as crossfire, after the Governor shot the one guy all the fire seemed to come from one direction, they all walked out of the tree line from the same spot.
What's redic. is that Rick, his own people having been captured by an unknown group, plans an assault whilst leaving behind his weak people as sitting ducks - despite agonizing over this exact type of security breech ad nauseam with Shane last season. He must realise that the bad guys will learn that they are at the prison, and probably already know this even before he sets out. But whatever.
Pleasantly surprised to see they brought him in, I honestly hadn't expected it this late on in the game. Unless I'm misremembering, they meet him shortly after leaving Atlanta in the comics.
