And I still don't even know whether he's supposed to be this fucked up, or if it's just bad acting (or good acting and bad writing). I love it. | ||

The hunt for andrea felt very dayz-style^^ It was funny because i could relate a bit to that :D Too bad she actually got caught in the end. I thought she could have at least stabbed the tires of that car... if not hot-wire it. I dunno, seems like a skill i would learn in a zombie apocalypse. | ||

I might go back after the commercial, but the amount of pseudo-horror shooting and framing is just all sorts of hackneyed. tyreese stuff was okay, I guess, even though the zombie pit was another one of those scenarios where after you understand the ensemble in the scene you can predict what's going to happen perfectly. man, I want this season over with, not least of which is because I expect to actually enjoy the last two episodes in it. edit: never mind, the preview for next week is for the penultimate episode; it looks like a bunch of filler garbage and rick pretending he's seriously considering handing michonne over. jesus. I don't think the whistling was just for added tension, I think he was trying to stir up any zombies. | ||

andrea is still worst character of all time, zombies apparently are vampires now and only fucking aim for the neck ("gee, holding up my leg and not kicking will save me!), zombies apparently single file walk around to alternate passage ways instead of clawing at a door when they can fucking see and smell a human right behind it (there is a broken window pane on the door, and obviously andrea just got all the attention by opening the fucking door), and that is all on top of andrea's great little "well I can walk freely in the prison field of zombies because I have a zombie on a leash, yup, not like I'm covered in guts or anything to mask my human scent. Just passing by zombies because another zombie is nearby, that makes a lot of fucking sense" Like it's been soap opera farm -> soap opera prison/woodbury for season 2/season 3, and I'm not even going to start my full rants about how fucking dumb the characters are, but I do take undue pleasure in making fun of Andrea all the time. I will point out though I'm sick of the show trying to make Andrea be a leader/make right choices despite being straight up retarded. Or as I put it in a different forum's walking dead thread, about the retardness of direct quotes (bolded): Milton: If you kill the governor, all that will happen is Martinez takes over and same thing happens. Killing him won't save your friends Andrea: *contemplatively thinks for a good few seconds*, "then I have to go back, warn them" Milton: *nods quickly and grunts* "yeah" Why didn't Milton say "THAT'S WHAT I JUST GODFORSAKEN TOLD YOU, YOU DUMB BLONDE". Andrea: "You come with me" Milton: "I can't leave woodbury, like it or not I belong here" Andrea: "Then if you stay, you can't keep looking the other way" GEE, I WONDER WHAT HES DOING. TELLING YOU TO GO WARN YOUR DAMN FRIENDS TO LEAVE AFTER YOU NAIVELY BELIEVE YOUR FAUX NEGOTIATIONS ARE ON THE TABLE BECAUSE THEY'LL BE SLAUGHTERED. [note it's highly unlikely the main characters will be slaughtered] milton is dumb and useless, but he directly tells you [andrea] that your attempted diplomatic solution failed, that your second plan to go guns a-blazing won't work, and critically thinks about the situation, tells the governor he needs to get over it, and then tells you [andrea] that you need to evacuate your friends, and you call that looking the other way? | ||

Damn you so smart. Way too smart for this show. You have a keen eye for details. And the way you are able to express that in capslock form really makes your points shine through. I really wish I was as smart as you and would hate every episode and rage on the internet. I mean clearly how character b responded to character a, that was totally lyke, totally retarded. See you next week. | ||

See you next week. so do you really disagree with anything he said or are you attempting to prove that pretending you're above discussion can easily be as obnoxious as a critical post? if it's the latter, well done. if it's the former and you can't be asked to elaborate, how do you not fall under the same net of negativity? people seem to be baffled when some of us watch the show and just let loose with both barrels on certain episodes. that's because the quality is wildly inconsistent and certain aspects/plotlines are unsalvageable; andrea, woodbury, and the governor's character are all accounted for there. I literally had to get up and leave my TV when the governor decided to become a psycho killer in a sequence composed of the hackiest tropes imaginable, but a few episodes ago I was riveted to my seat with rick and morgan and actual developed-and-paid-off subplots within just one episode. this is why I can't just write the show off, because there are a few residual characters and the occasional well-handled material that I still have interest in.

Yes they are dragging out the Woodbury storyline and Andrea is getting mildly annoying at this point. I do not get the dislike of Rick as he's gone through more than anyone in terms of loss and stress. He's a cracked, broken man and he needs help holding it together. If anything I'm starting to dislike Glenn now with his constant white-knighting and power tripping. The show is just building to the finale, give it some time and I'm sure they will blow us away with another amazing finale and we'll all be chomping at the bits for season 4. All that said, yes, some of the latest episodes have been stalling and bland, but every episode can't have the drama and tension of the Shane/Rick confrontation or the barn episode. | ||
