Panic! At The Tesco posted:The way the garbage people talk is probably the thing that has got me closest to quitting this show. It's embarassingly bad. I'd take a million magic van flips and dumpster glens over that poo poo anyday. It is absolutely stupid, it's just not been long enough for this to start to happen. Like I said before so much of the show feels like there's been a huge gap between the apocalypse and now. And I don't see a problem with Rosita. She's frustrated and wishes she could do something. Just like Carl, but nobody's calling him whiny or whatever.

My favorite part of the episode was the convoluted ways they put Rick and Micchone in danger. It was like a Rube Goldberg machine.

So when Rick walked away from the easily killable non-threatening zombies to climb the ferris wheel it sounded like he was shot at when he fell, but nothing came of it. Did I miss something?

coyo7e posted:Rick is the deer, it's a symbol of him becoming complacent and what could happen if he, like the deer, stops metaphorically running to wank and not remain observant of his surroundings. Here, this is super off topic but I think I used to play call of duty with you and a guy called alexnessie (i think that was his name) many many years ago.

Guys, guys, guys. You're all missing a HUGE plot point re: the deer. It wasn't bad cgi, it was the Ghost of the deer from alllllllllll the way back in S2. Rick was obsessed with bagging it so Carl can talk about the deer. Sheesh. Are you people even WATCHING this show?!

For Z-Nation is there any harm in skipping the early poo poo ones? And if so, does anyone have a recommendation on which one to start with? (Even if it's like, season 2, that's cool.) I'd like to give it a chance, but I save all my turd-tolerance for this show, so.

I don't believe in skipping any episodes of a show you're watching for the first time, unless it's a sitcom or something with no long-term plot to keep up with. I can't imagine suddenly caring for characters I have no idea about just jumping in on their story in the middle of it. The early episodes aren't amazing but they're still alright. If you can't get through an entire season of a show, it's not for you. You don't have to force yourself to like a show just because goons say it's good. I've tried it before and it's a waste of time.

If you want to hold TWD to a high standard and then back up z nation as anything but a family-guy roulette-wheel of "well let's do charley manson/jim jones this episode" "hey I really liked groundhog day!" "stoner demographic is huge these days" "also we need to have a couple of solid season-lasting relationships for the ladies - maybe an interracial one - maybe not for the whole season though on the white guy black guy thing because TWD just hooked up Rick and Michonne while we were filming". Z Nation is great, but it's very much "hey I get that reference" or "hey this is really original to see someone keep dying and wake up over and over but eventually they get it right - for love!" coyo7e fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Mar 9, 2017 |

I'm sorry maybe nobody else itt has been at a design meeting which involved throwing out lots of lovely ideas and writing them on whiteboards and then everybody cheers eventually over one or a few, because hey either it's group consensus, or everybody is just tired of wasting their time but they want to go back to their office and knock out their cgi deer for the week

coyo7e posted:z nation is a sitcom and a romcom. I feel like we watched completely different shows, because while yes they do the latter stuff to some extent but there are actual long-term plotlines like the Citizen Z stuff, Lucy, murphy, red hand...it's not all jokes and references. e: vvv I know all those words but they aren't making much sense the way you've arranged them. The only thing z nation has in common with friends/seinfeld is they both have jokes and there are romantic relationships that develop. So does the Walking Dead but it's not a sitcom. yeah I eat ass fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Mar 9, 2017 |

i mean if I really had to I bet I can find a wiki page which specifically lists at least 1/3 of the references in every episode of z nation and shows how they are largely decades old - and that doesn't even begin to add in my thesis that it's actually FRIENDS(seinfeld) where ten-thousand is slowly going to go insane for lack of being able to form a meaningful connection with another human in post-apocalypse because she's only got one eye or refuses to take off her combat gloves

The Walking Dead should do some kind of themed or special show like a Groundhog Day episode or the fly episode from Breaking Bad. I'm so sick of the rut they're in and I just want something different. Do an episode where Carl plays every character.

The NSA guy stops being a sadbrains at least later I think he was featured more in the first episodes because he was probably the main demographic of the show originally--some skinny guy from high school with a broken dick
