Johnny Truant posted:can't decide if a laugh track would make the show better... or great oh drat, there should have been a cheesy 1980s episode like Mr Robot's Alf episode, where Carl is dying and dreaming of a the better life, but with sappy music and a laugh track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s14mBN3Ciw I guess this is as close as I am getting

warcrimes posted:How should I go about catching up on AoS from ep 1? One of two ways: 1) Just watch Season 1. There's a lot of episodes that feel like lame episode of the week stuff but once the show is in gear, it changes a lot of them. There's one episode I hated and almost made me quit the show before the big shift in the last few episodes because I thought the characters were acting too dumb to live. After the reveal, said episode is actually 200% better because no, people weren't acting like idiots, they just had agendas. 2) Option B is to skip straight to the last 6 episodes of season 1. That is when Winter Soldier came out, and really, that's when the show immediately begins to improve. It's really great by season 3 though honestly it's consistently fun after the Winter Soldier shift to the status quo. - Your tolerance for cheesy episode-of-the-week action will determine if you should just watch the first season entirely or not. I will say that what seemed like no payoff or sappy team dynamics actually aren't what they seem at all, so there's definite reward for just watching it but it hardly represents the later quality of the show (in particular since several characters change SO MUCH from their introduction). The show gets really good by the 3rd season with some stellar action, and after that they go to the pod format which basically makes every season multiple mini-seasons with an overarching story. I really like the pod format. I wish more shows used it. You get a brisk change of tone without things dragging out a whole season without shorter seasons. It's pretty win/win. ED: Actually one other thing the show really excels at is character development. I felt like there was a lot of bland, redundant characters in season 1 but every single one of them evolves massively beyond their original starting point, and they're super consistent across every season. After WD's "musical chairs of personality" it's IMMENSELY refreshing. ED: Also I can say without a doubt AoS is very good about 'JUST SHOOT HIM.' If the AoS team was in WD this Negan bullshit'd been over a long time ago. I can think of only a single "JUST SHOOT HIM" in the entire show's run, usually they start shooting when I am thinking that.

I wonder how many episodes will be spent with Rick ignoring his dead son's pleas I'm sorry son, but it's important I keep doing stupid poo poo to keep the feud going

Would have been like had Andrea's final act being to instruct the group on how to judge the character of others. They should bring back Shane as a hallucination zombie that follows him around (Like American Werewolf in London.) and laughs at all of the things Rick now does with justifications that mirror what Shane knew and accepted back in the day. Shane did nothing wrong. Hasselblad fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Mar 11, 2018 |

happyhippy posted:He hosed Lori. He was just comforting her because they thought Rick was dead. Had he lived and Rick died, Coral would have been raised a lot better and would likely had been a better character and still be alive. That said, Andrea would have been a better choice to snuggle with.

This show has gotten hilariously bad. I can't believe how we recycle the same 5 plot lines over the last few seasons, to the point that Rick couldn't even hold to Coral's dying wish for an entire episode. At this point it feels like someone is banging out scenes on a typewriter, minutes before they film, with no thought to continuity or character development. Even the cinematography has gotten Soap Opera-lazy: just flat head-shots of characters talking. You can tell they are talking to each other because one is looking camera-left and the other is looking camera-right! And who the gently caress keeps putting in those zoom-cuts? I guess Morgan is Clear Crazy again? Carol is back to being a badass after another round of helplessness? At least the stupid Trash People can't betray everybody for a fifth time.

It's the 3rd episode so its time for a side story before they get back to the main plot.

These prisoners are acting like it's been weeks since they have been captured. It's been like 24 hours max. edit. Holy poo poo, Gabriel's segment is over wrought. Basically someone said, "Let's prove faith for a while and then undercut it, that's compelling right?" JossiRossi fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Mar 12, 2018 |

^ Plot required it for reasonsJazzFlight posted:Can they just lead a herd to that garbage dump and have them all walk straight into the grinder? Looks like they wouldn't ever have to worry about zombies anymore because it's like instant win mode. Well, the problem there is the walkers teleport. Take tonight for example once doc dumbshit gets caught in a bear trap *scccccchhhhhhooooooom* walkers teleport in to pile on him Quick Rick, salvage the Powerwheels and ride it to victory ala OddBall on his Sherman!

I don't even remember Maggie having her baby when the gently caress did that happen Also "infecting the optic nerve" ugghhhh. This "blind leading the blind" metaphor is so loving stupid. The doctor didn't search the loving house? The blind, incredibly sick pastor finds the exact medication that he needs? Jesus gently caress give me a break and I'm barely 15 minutes in Edit: hahahaha hamfisted is: finding the next plot step in a literal piggy bank Johnny Truant fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Mar 12, 2018 |

Negan literally lost none of his men. He can still afford to have them everywhere. Why do they even bother showing any being killed at this point?
