Wow, thanks for the recap. It sounds like bailing out was the best thing I've done. I can't decide if they let Gimple gently caress Fear to give him more power, or to try to quarantine him from the main series.

At dumb as the last few episodes have been, I'm sure Gimple is chomping at the bit to "fix them" and pair all the characters off to do solo episodes until the end of time

ED: Poor actor that played Gregory. Such a cartoon character. Not exactly playing the Game of Thrones with his political maneuvering. There's no human on Earth that would trust that character for like 60 seconds.

Midseason opener with the terrible flying zombies. I just couldn't do it anymore when everyone got separated and started talking in prolonged backstory speak, were all about 'hope' and 'saving people' out of nowhere and killed off the two central characters to make Morgan's bullshit front and center.

I, someone who actually enjoyed enjoyed the first two seasons (while acknowledging their flaws), quit after the midseason-finale and I've never quit a show before. The writing was so bad I cried. I was drunk and hormonal but I literally cried because of bad writing. It was the stupidest thing I've ever seen on TV. It was like one of the writers said "hey remember the flipped car scene from Jurassic park with the trapped kids and the t-rex? Lets combine that with the Austin Powers Steamroller scene. The car is functional, the "kids" are technically adults, and the t-rex is a bunch of zombies that move slower than most people walk. The protagonist of the series ends up dying in this scene."

I couldn't do it anymore. I haven't been able to watch the new episodes of TWD yet but on reddit I've seen a couple people say it's giving off a "S3 of FTWD" vibe and I just weep because:

The company didn't want to fire their yes-man, but knew deep down that he needed to be removed from the show, so they gave him a different title and a show they don't care as much about to ruin.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons (and the barn reveal at the end of season 3), but the precipitous drop in the quality of the show after that was astounding.

E: I know it's not common sentiment in this thread but I actually liked the farm season. It felt like the characters were still grappling with novel moral choices. The pace wasn't perfect but I enjoyed the character dynamics quite a bit.

For me it's because Jon Bernthal's always great, even when the material isn't. Shane was a lot of fun to watch.

They should reshoot the Walking Dead Season 1, but all the characters start with the experience they have now.

Kind of like an RPG where you can restart from the beginning with your same progress.

They'd probably just take over the entirety of Atlanta.

I'd argue they are dumber and less competent now than they were back in season 1

Also back in season 1 zombies could do cool poo poo like climb ladders and use bashing weapons. Features that if they had kept, they wouldn't have a 'zombie underpowered' problem.

If you're doing New Game + throw in some mutators like big head zombies. Or maybe they already have, giving Herschel unlimited ammo.

I still think Shane, even psycho Shane, would have been an immensely better leader than Rick.

He'd probably cut off Negan's head during their little camper road trip and tossed it to the saviors, ending that whole thing in one episode. At the very least he'd ambushed the gently caress out of Negan when he came to collect.

Oh I am curious. Did anyone laugh their rear end off at the line from Maggie about how "We need a black smith, and we don't have one right now?"

Namely because the nobody extra Simon shot last season was the blacksmith. Someone must have actually realized that at some point on the writing team.

Consider your situation:
- food is your #1 priority
- you have lots of labour
- some of that is building something?
- lots are lumberjacks, and they're ok
- you seem to have found a horse spawn

Yet, with all that being the case, there's just no drat way to plant those crops without a rinky-dink tractor and an antique plough.

It's like each scene has a different writer, because half the people have the solution to the "conflict" of the other people, most times.
