Love the change of pace in this episode

Carol being a in that interview, she didn't even mention what happened to Sophia.

The fight scene was reminded me of Merle in season 3 which had the entire group at each other necks in one scene.


The teenager subplot is corny

Unless a splinter group goes to washington and finds out what happened to the military....

And that is a good question wtf happened to the military???

Zombies took out the military, zombie didn't exist in TWD universe in movies prior to the outbreak, so the whole "undead corpse comes back to life to attack people" concept was new to them, totally believable that zombies could take the military out, also there not trained to take head shots and that's the only thing that can kill them.

you comic book nerds need to stop this. we don't come in this thread to know what happened in the comics. we here to talk about the TV SHOW. stop spoiling the TV SHOW for those of us who are not interested in reading a fukkin comic book like a 10 year old.

My comment WAS about the show though...I wouldn't click on it if you haven't read the books but my spoiler tagged comment was about show's adaptation of what was in the comics. And belittling ppl who read the comic "like a 10 year old" makes no sense since this show you love so much is based on a comic book for adults. You whining about spoilers is more "like a 10 year old."

 

[Hi!]

And to the nikka belly aching don't click the spolier tag dweeb

Spoiler

Dwight was the cat in Negan's crew who used the crossbow and ended up taking Negans spot after his defeat. Speculating that could be Daryl's arc now because Daryl obviously has no place in the ASZ

 

[THASTUNNA]

I have the entire comic collection (to date) listed in my sig. New issues come out every three weeks or so. It's a really easy series to read though. Some issues are less than ten pages long iirc.

 

[Monoblock]

Carol acting like we forgot she went Rambo First Blood on those cats in Terminus. She playing the part good though. Daryl aint having it.

The fifth season has received widespread critical acclaim. Based on 36 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, season 5 received an average 97% overall "Certified Fresh" approval rating; the website's consensus states, "Thanks to a liberal dose of propulsive, bloody action and enough compelling character moments to reward longtime fans, The Walking Dead 's fifth season continues to deliver top-notch entertainment."[33] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 80 out of 100 based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[34] Brian Lowry of Variety gave the fifth season premiere a positive review, saying: "After the (rather too) long and winding road to Terminus, 'The Walking Dead' opens its fifth season in spectacular fashion, a dazzling adrenaline rush filled with suspense, righteous violence and, before it's all over, genuine emotion. Imbued with cinematic touches, the only downside to this breathtaking episode is pondering what the creative brain trust can do for an encore. Still, AMC's megahit finds itself in a very good place, from the current makeup of its ever-evolving cast to the latitude it has earned to take unexpected detours. Given the hype surrounding the series, it's still impressive to see the producers deliver such a feast."[35]

Several critics have felt the fifth season has been a huge improvement to its preceding seasons. Todd VanDerWerff for Vox, wrote: "...it's not unprecedented for a series to have its best season in its fifth year, but it's definitely strange for a show to make this big of a leap this late in its run." He praised all aspects of the storytelling and conception of the fifth season, singling out the action, themes, characters, advanced storylines, newly introduced anthology character-focused episodes, and overall improvements to the material the show has always worked with.[36]

Similarly, writing for Grantland, Andy Greenwald praised Scott M. Gimple as showrunner, particularly noting him as an improvement to Glen Mazzara and Frank Darabont, as well as praising the increase in minorities and resulting racial diversity among the main cast. He further commented: "Gimple has also done wonders with the characters he inherited", and singled out characters such as Beth Greene and Tyreese, praising their newly established complexities and character evolution. The constantly shifting environments and surrounding threats were also noted and lauded.[37]

Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club in his review of "Consumed", summarized the season as a whole, saying: "This is a large part of why The Walking Dead has gotten so good this season: The writers have found a way to exploit subtext and history in compelling, haunting ways."[38]

The show is 1000% improved over those earlier seasons. Season 4 was the turning point. The first 3 seasons were laughably bad, best thing about them were the occasional zombies, but even they were laughable (sneaking up on ppl in open woods, attracted to noise unless the writers needed them not to be, ppl turn into a zombie slowly or quickly depending on what the writers needed, etc). The farm, the one-dimensional Governor in wholesome Mayberry, the unspoken "only one black person on the show at a time" rule, Lori being eaten whole by a zombie like a cartoon, etc....all bad. Now at least the show is somewhat plausible and the characters are multidimensional.
