The 16-part webseries will be available online as well as airing during commercial breaks for “The Walking Dead” season six, which premieres Oct. 11 on the cable network. Each episode will be around one minute in length. What the...well, ok.

Man, if only every episode had this kind of...stuff happening. It's very bad on many levels but at least this episode had some excitement. What the gently caress are they going to do on a boat? They are going even further away from the (extremely cool) idea of zombie LA. Christ.

Makes total sense.

The Good: Smooth Talker, El Salvidad, Johnny Depp-endency The Bad: Bad CGI, horrible attempts at monologues, strangely empty city, worn-out evil military trope. Final Verdict: If you like TWD universe, there are worse ways to spend an hour a week on Sunday nights when the original show and Game of Thrones are on hiatus.

It started off good, but this show bored the hell out of me. I barely know any of the characters names and I kept waiting to see LA get nuked but nope nothing.

I was fully expecting to see Alizia kidnapped / raped. Would be the first sign of real brutality on this show, the apocalypse has been forgiving to the characters so far.

Apparently it was the only way to get inside the heavily guarded compound where they were getting ready to execute the patients except for the ones they were evacuating to safety I mean I guess they were going to have a poo poo-load of coin-tosses or something

Makes total sense. I mean, the man had just brutally tortured him for hours. He was probably severely traumatized and it was pretty clear that Salvidad was the kind of person who was prepared to die. Killing his daughter would hurt him so much more than just killing him. It's not hard to understand why he would want revenge unless you're one of those people who thinks that every single character should be in 100% logical survival mode 24\7 under constant pressure.

Pillowpants posted:It started off good, but this show bored the hell out of me. I barely know any of the characters names and I kept waiting to see LA get nuked but nope nothing. Most of the characters have one or in a few cases two emotions. The hispanic kid is exclusively angry, torture-dad is melancholic, white mom is concerned. Travis' entire character is that he's naive. Chris is the closest thing to a human being but mainly he's an addict. The rest of the cast is generic wallpaint. Thing is, over the course of 6 episodes very little has happened. The epidemic started and they fled to a house in the sticks. Everything in between didn't matter. The military were douchebags for ~¤reasons¤~ so they had to go on a field trip and then that was it. The first 6 episodes were like the first 15 minutes of Dawn of the Dead except with more boringer people and less murder.

Makes total sense. He went back to the only fortified place he knew of. He probably just went YOLO once he found out it was overrun. Edit: I am guessing something will prevent them from going on the boat. There is zero threat while they are on the boat, which means no suspense and no story. Unless they do a time lapse to when they run out of supplies/navigate to an island(Alcatraz?). Sypher fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Oct 5, 2015 |

This poo poo is dumb as gently caress. Bullet proof chain link fences? The "Look! We're in LA! We're driving in the canal!" scene. And, assholes leaving the fence open. Seriously, throw my vote in with the "shoulda nuked LA" crowd

Not too bad for a finale, the show improved near the end. Although the zombie genre is becoming too much of a commonality on tv and in movies. I'm pretty sure NBC considered a zombie sitcom in the last 2 years.

The more I think about it the more jarring the neighborhood gate thing is. If every one of the people in the crowd in ep. 4 has a house with other people in it, that's a lot of people, and in the beginning of ep. 4 I think they were bringing in people from outside, so there had to at least be a 100-200 people there.

"Strand, are you insane?" "The only way to survive a mad world is to embrace the madness" "Is that a yes?" Sure it took 6 episodes, and it's not the most original joke penned in AMC history, but dammit I'd like to salute the writer who managed to slip a fleeting moment of enjoyable dialogue in past the showrunner. It was pithy and I chuckled. Congrats, competent tv writer. Of course, when someone finally notices what you've done, I'm sure you'll be pushed out of the show, so they can avoid having that happen again.

If this show were to completely veer off course and turn into a zombie-themed nautical pirate adventure it would be the best thing ever. I wonder what sort of mediocre alternative the writers are actually going with.

The good: poo poo finally happened. All the poo poo inside the suburb should have been condensed into one episode and this should have been episode 4. It didn't even have to have this much action and budget, but instead of loving around for a couple weeks they should have been going places, doing thangs. AMCs idea of a season is a decent opening and finale and a shitload of filler in between, gotta keep making those sausages. The bad: a bunch of guys with machine guns behind a chain link fence were overwhelmed because their bullets ricocheted from the fence? Seriously? I've never watched Z Nation but I imagined this sort of stuff would be more fitting there. Midway through the episode the family goes all Latter Day Rick Gang, they work very effectively as a zombie killing team and even go as far as training a huge horde against a target, something even the Rick Gang wouldn't take lightly. The ugly: goody two shoes Travis, can't hurt a fly. After driving by his neighbor's homes and watching them have dinner with their children he can't be arsed to close the gate to keep the flesh eating monsters away because what have they done for us lately anyway. Then let's unleash a horde of undead in a medical facility full of (presumably) still alive civilians. Our heroes.  Actually scratch that, I don't even mind that they are assholes from the get go, Strand is my favorite character. I just wish that if the characters are assholes then they should have done something more with that before they just started dispassionately loving everyone else over. Anyway, this would have been a great episode 4. Episode 5 should have been the trip to the marina and in the season finale the family inevitably gets StrandedTM. Cue rubber dingy disappearing into the sunset, cut to Strand smoking a cigar as the suckers jump up and down on the marina, an overhead shot shows a horde approaching the family.  e: Fitzy Fitz posted:If this show were to completely veer off course and turn into a zombie-themed nautical pirate adventure it would be the best thing ever.

Apart from the El Salvadorean, I don't think anybody understood the consequences of releasing zombies to attack the military compound (whether with respect to the civilian/military patients inside the base or their now-exposed neighbors). The zombie attack really didn't have any moral heft to it since none of the characters addressed the ramifications of what they'd done. Sammus posted:The "Look! We're in LA! We're driving in the canal!" scene. That was by far the best set of shots in this whole misbegotten miniseries. Hope this helps.
