Amph The Walking Dead and Spinoffs on AMC

Did the producers have trouble paying the electricity bill? Could barely see a thing in that episode.

 

Well considering that it was night time in that episode and there really isn't much electricity in a zombie apocalypse.

 

Preview of what to expect on Sunday

Guys... can we please keep comic spoilers and discussion of upcoming characters from the comics in spoiler tags? Pretty please?

That's kind of every episode of this show. At least half of it takes place at night. It helps with the makeup budget but is a bitch on the grip and electric crew.

 

I know that. Just seemed to be quite extreme this week

 

I think it mostly had to do with not brutally killing the Terminus guys in full brightly lit Technicolor(R) glory.

 

Well told, Sir. Well told.

 

Well this one has been boring so far.

 

Another unlikely pocket of civilization populated by people who are all bat**** crazy. Woodbury 2.

 

haha this was bad c'mon walking dead if you want me to like you, it's really easy just don't do episodes like this or the Governer episodes last season

 

Woodbury and Terminus made a certain amount of sense. But not this hospital. Terrible episode, but Carol will set things right. There's nothing wrong with the hospital that a few well placed bottle rockets can't fix.

 

So boring. So unrealistic. So unexplained.

 

It was an okay episode IMO. The police officers were all generic and boring. But Dr. Edwards is a pretty good character and I liked the twist with him at the end. This episode was a lot of set up. I'm betting that Noah is the one in the bushes with Daryl, and he will lead the group back to the hospital to rescue Beth and Carol.

 

I liked it. I understand when you have to wait a week to see a new episode it can be frustrating to watch slower, character based episodes.

But... I'm glad to see characters like Beth & Carol evolve. Both were weak characters when they started. Carol cowering to her abusive husband. Beth attempting suicide. Now they understand the way the game is played. Like characters from a certain HBO show.

 

I enjoyed it. I did watch it right after the previous one, which I enjoyed as well. But after the intensity, I liked the slow.

 

Good episode, quite enjoyed

Spoiler

Carol will kick some ass

 

Though some are saying it's the worst episode of the season so far, considering how awesome this season has been already, that's really not saying much at all. Decent episode imo. Don't really mind a slower episode after the past few.

 

How many headshots did Beth have in the dark then in the yard? Come on.

 

Episodes 5 and 6 have new titles

Self Help
Consumed

 

I like slow episodes that have sound character development and drive a good storyline. But the lastest episode isn't terrible because it's slow, it's terrible because the community Beth is abducted into just doesn't make any sense. And also Beth is a dull character, played by a boring actress.

 

Out of everything else that might have been "wrong" with the episode, this stuck out the most to me. I don't recall Beth ever having any training with guns.

 

Yeah pretty much this. I even loved the Governor's episodes. The slow talking ones are usually the better ones to me because it's more like the comic...this just felt like the community wasn't very well thought out and characters' intentions seemed more forced than realistic.

 

Maybe I need to rewatch it (I watched it after a very long day), but I don't really see how the hospital community was poorly conceived. What about this community makes it so improbable? Is it that despite the bottom floors of the hospital being overrun with walkers, the people continue to survive in the floors above and are somehow able to maintain access to their cars in the parking lot?

 

Daryl is a great teacher.

 

No, it's just that the idea of bringing severely wounded people in, healing them and then coopting them as slave labor - it seems really resource intensive and unnecessary. Unwounded people would be clamoring at this point to be work/sex slaves of these people. And at the same time they're collecting people to treat, they're also maintaining a scavenging operation (and a very tiny garden) to feed everyone. None of it seems workable or sustainable. At this late stage of the epidemic, the community would now either be fully populated and not have the supplies to care for new patients or they would have run out of new people to bring in. Terminus at least had a very systematic strategy for funneling a food supply toward their fortified community.

We know that scavenging is no longer a sustainable survival model if you're in a fixed location. We know that from Glenn and his comment about only hidden things being left to scavenge.
