Fuhgeddaboudit Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Wasn't happy with that episode. Felt like it could have been an episode done in 15-20 minutes or something, or doing a parallel story line with the other crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I didn't realize how little they've actually moved with respect to Atlanta. I thought the episode was pretty good. I think there is more to Beth as a character, and this episode displayed that. In all fairness we don't know how long that drive to the hospital actually is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentum Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I Just can't get over how fucking good this show is...after all this time.....pulls me in like no other....seem to only get better as well imo. The whole stretch from end of last season to beginning of this season might be the best in the whole series imo. I didn't mind the last episode, im starting to like Beth more and more. every since she drank moonshine with Daryl she's been on my good list.

High and Wide Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 In all fairness we don't know how long that drive to the hospital actually is True, but just going on the lack of resources you would assume they have, I don't see them having to go that far to find people.

siddious Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Oddly enough I thought this episode was kind of mediocre. Could have done it in 15 minutes. The Abraham flash backs and the reveal were the only significant parts of the episode. Over all too much pointless conversations. Not saying it needed more action just feel like more could have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I actually found last nights' episode a lot more boring than the previous week with Beth, which a lot of people would probably disagree with. To me, the whole angle with Abraham and Eugene was as transparent as could be from the onset. It was clear as day he was full of shit. Anyone relying on "its classified" when pressed with even moderately probing questions as to his knowledge about what he claims to know is clearly covering up a deficiency. To finally have him admit it is great, but the path to getting there I found rather boring. Maybe it's just because I don't particularly enjoy Abraham as a character (even though I love the actor who plays him)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yea, the Eugene reveal was not significant at all It changes that groups entire plan.. How is it not significant? I'm not saying it was a shocker or anything but it certainly matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I don't disagree with you, Phil. I was bored with this episode too, even with Eugene revealing whatever he revealed. If he's being honest or not, I don't believe him...he never struck me as a scientist anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentum Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Agree with Phil, this episode was pretty mediocre (although I love ALL walking dead episodes because they all have their place in building the storyline, every episode can't be action filled and crazy or SUPER interesting, other bits of the story needs to be told as well). As you said the reveal was obvious and it was kind of like ahh finally they know what we all already suspected/known all along. I found the episode exciting in the fact that it ends the constant bs story about finding salvation in DC and now what are they gonna do?? that story line now came to a halt at a crossroads and they're gonna have to decide what to do next, i'm excited about that.

Phil Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Dug this one too. It's Daryl/Carol, so that's pretty much a win-win in every scenario. I dig that Noah is sticking around, too. He's a great character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Another episode I found boring. I might just watch the first 2 episodes every week until someone tells me it gets less boring again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 thought the episode was great. looks like next week's episode will be action filled. I will say that that though the episode was good, it definitely had a really slow pace to it again. I don't remember this many slow paced episodes in one season before.

Slow paced is good when you are doing back story or a more in depth look at characters once or twice a season after a lot has gone on.. seems like the majority of them are just kind of slow this season. I get that there are a lot of new characters on the show but the pace can definitely be picked up. The Abraham episode I felt could have been done in half the time. Too many quiet moments where nothing is happening in that episode and last nights episode. Its like they wanna stretch it out now because they are catching up to the comics or something (I do not know if they are anywhere near where the comics are or if they are even on the same trajectory, it just feels like that). But like I said I am not complaining because I am still enjoying the episodes.. pace is just.. weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, they are making it linear and showing a very small group of people. I'm not into this linear way of doing back stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentum Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 People need to relax a little, if it was just high paced action all the time the show would get uninteresting pretty quickly. These kind of slow paced episodes telling backstory what happened to characters are very important in setting the mood of the show and gettin a more intimate feel for the people on the show and what they're going through. I think this is what makes this show so great, if they were just running from zombies or governors every episode it would get stale fast. Now that they've had a few episodes showing what happened to some of the characters though they could use an episode or two of things happening/coming to a head. Is it only me who find the Carol character extremely annoying? I LOVE Daryl ofc...prob my fav character besides Rick...but Carol...even after she saved them....just rubs me the wrong way.....

High and Wide Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I loved the episode, but when Chris Hardwick announced that there would be a special surprise guest, I knew someone was going to die. I had a feeling it would be Beth. I'm sad though, I thought she progressed into a strong character. Also, I'm happy that it was all about Dawn, and that they are leaving without another epic battle. Despite not showing anyone, something tells me the doctor goes with the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
