  1. Great reference. "See my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea people are laughing at him. Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
  2. For anyone who watched Treme, this is a terrible casting change. I think in general it's pretty bad. Completely different personalities. The blonde haired guy was a man maybe worthy of the love of the Mother of Dragons. Huisman is like a silly boy in comparison.
  3. I think you're mixing up being badass with making good decisions. IDK if you're saying that Rick came to realization that he needs to be the neck-biting guy at that moment because obviously he fucked up by putting down all of their weapons. He's still in mid cycle of catching his mistakes after-the-fact. The finale only established that he has what it takes to be a badass again.. like I said. I mean kicking the shit out of people and getting the group out of bad situations, etc. It never establishes that he's going to make good decisions. Rick's flaw is that he lets his guard down. I don't think the last line speaks to that at all... it's just means Rick can get them OUT of this situation like he used to. It doesn't say anything about him not getting them INTO situations in the first place.
  4. Then struggle no longer. Find someone else's posts to read.
  5. Oh gee never crossed my mind. I change my opinion. JK. Still sucks balls.
  6. Umm sure I guess it does but my friend's Saturn is effective at getting him to and from work. Does that make it a good car? It's loud, smelly, uncomfortable, and the speakers make a hissing noise. That entire episode had already established that Rick is a badass again. Obviously they have to get out. We didn't need a cheesy string of lines to hammer it in. Less is more. And again it's not the line that even bugs me.. it's the way it set-up all dramatic. "The big reveal" that Rick is a badass (which they already established). Maybe it comes down to editing.. that setup and pause was way too long and it made it feel cheesy. If it had happened quicker, it would have felt more natural. For the record, I loved the scene where they killed Darryl's group.
  7. Might I remind you that you replied to my comment. Not the other way around ;) There is no debate. IMO, the last scene was absolutely horrendous. I can't imagine what you'd like about it but I didn't call you stupid for liking it either. It's a matter of opinion.
  8. I'm not talking about the comic. This is not the comic. They have to make adjustments so it doesn't come across as a horrible B-movie type script. The script in a comic carries a different feel. I don't know why you're acting like you don't realize this yourself. First of all, dropping the "fuck" makes the line inherently weak. You can't replace the word fuck in a moment like that. They should have made it a throwaway line then and ended on something else. Or if they really wanted to end it on that, get rid of that precursor line of "they're going to feel pretty stupid when they realize...". It's just SO douchey. I'm not a comic book reader but if I was, I would have made fun of it then. At least it makes a little more sense in a comic. In the TV adaptation, you gotta realize it comes off sounding fucking silly. It has to feel more natural on screen. I think you're alone (edit: nearly alone) on this one, Phil. Well I'm sure there are other fans that agree with you, but those ones are from a demo. you don't want to hear about.
  9. That last line was pathetic. I got all excited for Rick being back to his old form.. "there's something they don't know".. I'm thinking he set an explosive or he knows one of the guys on the inside or something crazy. "They're messing with the wrong people". Douche chills. I think a 4th grader wrote the script. It wouldn't be a bad throwaway line but the fact that it was THE line they ended on and there was so much buildup for it. Just awful.
  10. i'm so glad we don't have to see them again. Not even kidding. Best episode ever.
  11. Nice. Awesome. I was so happy when I saw that. Means both of these dumb little bitches are gone from this show.
  12. The name "Bob" is synonymous with AA. If someone says "I'm a friend of Bob's", it means they attend AA. IDK if that would make him more likely to use that name a fake one.
  13. Holy shit. House. I liked this show until I watched it high out of my mind one time. I realized how fucking stupid it is. It's the same damn thing every episode and totally unbelievable.
  14. That last episode wasn't bad. At least it made sense.
  15. I compare them in terms of attention to detail, storytelling, subtleties, natural flow, etc. You can compare them in a general sense of how well-thought out things were. Just because they're two different shows doesn't mean they can't be compared. Obviously the witty dialogue from The Wire isn't expected in Walking Dead. But there are things that are totally lacking in this show that shouldn't be. I keep hearing that it's a show about survival. It should be a show about survival. They've turned it into a show about zombies. They spend more energy making a zombie head and figuring out how they're going to smash it rather than figuring out how to bring Carol back in a not-ridiculous way.
  16. Oh I'm not upset that she's back. It's just if you're gonna bring her back without tearing down my suspension of disbelief, you better create a better story than her practically teleporting into the scene. You'd think the writers would at least make it so one group starts a huge fire to signal another. Or whatever. The execution and the details are the problem for me, not the entire story-arch.
  17. Well if I was to phrase the question "did you enjoy the episode?", you could have just said "yes". I don't "hate" the show. I hate how shitty it is compared to what it was and what it could be. It's all relevant. I'm not saying it's Keeping Up With The Kardashians or anything. And I'm not wishing you would hate it. I'm wishing it would get better so I can go back to enjoying it. You have to admit that scene with Carol re-appearing was strange as hell by any network's standards. Like B-movie type of stuff.
  18. You didn't answer the question though.
  19. Then you're the exception to the rule then, from what I can see. In comparison to one from Season 1, how much did you enjoy this last episode?
  20. I have to disagree with you here. I know a few people that were fans of the comics and want nothing to do with this show. 2 of them were in during the first season then gave up during the 2nd. The other one didn't like it from the beginning. I think it's more of people who have poor taste that are still OMGOMG over Walking Dead. A lot of girls. I see people post about it on Facebook.. like shit.. is this the first time you've ventured away from the single digit channels? lol. Then there's the teenage audience I'm sure. I didn't mind 1 group stumbling into another. That was Michone finding Rick and Carl. I give the writers the benefit of the doubt here. But now they're all just hot on each other's trails? Shit I mean they're making a mockery of the idea of "tracking" and how awesome of a character Darryl was. You'd think they could figure out a better way to unite some of the group in time. 1 group should have been eaten alive this past episode for sure.
  21. LOL. And that's not even the trailers. I can't imagine watching the trailers for Walking Dead and finding it mildly interesting. Funny because there was a time during the 1st season when I was surprised by things.
  22. By "that", you mean the entire show, right?
