Dawnrazor Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I've said it before and I'm going to say it again now. TWD could easily compress each season in to three feature-length episodes. The amount of boring, nothing-happens filler episodes is getting seriously annoying. I have to agree, I'm getting bored of too many episodes now, it's went right down hill imo.

Ryan Jarman Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Dirge. Will tune back in for the season finale and maybe keep tabs on here in case an interesting episode ever pops up, won't hold my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hopelessly shan episode tbf. I've read the comics and can see what they're trying to do but there's just no tension. Next episode should be good but they'll no doubt spend too much time with some minor character in a baffling situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Absolute pish. Jesus kung-fu kicking walkers. Enid inexplicably being terrified of a lone walker as if she wasn't expecting to come across any on her journey. Also, since when was she ever that close with Maggie and Glenn? Did I miss that? The roller skates. Carl saying that he just likes going out for a drive and Enid just believing this. So so shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuthy2k Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 utter p!sh last night. Maggie for Queen of the Hill. Whole episode was a bit cringe worthy... walkers lining themselves up perfectly with the tractor tyres, finding roller skates, standing about whilst the gates are open, no-one on guard to stop the car coming into Hilltop, kung-fu moves. Please. Take me back to the prison when it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Snake Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Glad I no longer watch this. It's a vastly overrated show.

It's the same pish every season - one or two good episodes followed by six or seven terrible episodes. I just find it weird that everyone moans about it and yet continues to watch it. I agree it's vastly overrated, and I've moaned about it for a few seasons now. Tbh, I continue to watch as I'm bang up to date and i can spare 45 mins a week (at work ) to watch the latest episode. If I was, say, midway through s4 trying to catch up, I'd bin it. I do the exact same with The Blacklist. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - in fact I'd advise against starting it if anyone were to ask me - but the fact I'm right up to the latest episode, I always get round to watching the next one as again it's only 45 mins (at work) and I have a scant interest in where the story will end up. It helps that just now these two shows and Westworld are all I'm watching - everything else I watch is out of season just now. If I watched shedloads of other stuff I'd probably bin these two.

Prince Buaben Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 We have binged watched the whole thing using Sky box sets ( apart from a week where they took it off when we were half way off series 6.. Managed to get those epiosdes and are now on Episode 4 Season 7. The thing that bugs me and is that they have 3/4 episodes for the same thing.

neilnunb Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Seems to be a growing feeling that the Whisperers are going to be introduced later this season, probably the season finale although there may be clues to them beforehand. If so, they would appear much earlier than they do in the comics. They would certainly crank up the action.

neilnunb Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The Whisperers (don't read if you don't want to know!) ok, hopefully won't give too much away but basically they're a group who disguise themselves as walkers using walker skin, complete with masks, so they can attack other survivors. They also communicate by whispering so they don't attract attention. Their leader is a female called Alpha. I'd say they are much worse than Negan and the Saviors. In the comics they don't appear until after the current Negan storyline (after which there is a 2 year jump) so could be a big shift from the comic storyline. And hopefully the spoiler tag worked...thanks folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky_26 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I understand the need for these type of episodes but there are just far too many of them in TWD. 16 episodes a season is overkill IMO. Interesting to read that last nights had the lowest viewing figures for an episode since season 4, and the viewing figures for this season have dropped every week since episode one. That was watched by over 17 million (in the US), while last nights attracted just over 11 million. The average viewers for season 5 was over 14 million so it's definitely in steady decline. i agree re the 16 episodes, i think a 12 episode run would help. Negan annoys me, i think he could be more menacing or doing more psychological damage/warfare. I think Jeffrey Dean Morgan could be given so much more scope for the character. He has the acting ability to make him a nasty hated character like how i would prefer see him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
