first spoiler - yeah...good ol' tv/movie gun fight logic...

2nd spoiler - nice

[thrill]

seems like unfair criticism in a sense. some say "oh its just a zombie show, its about the kills" then others say "gotta develop these characters"


wheres that criticism and yer profession thread...

To be clear, I still enjoy the show and will continue to watch. I just also know that it is dumb.

If they want to make it just a zombie show, then that's fine. But it has the potential to be so much more. Otherwise, you might as well call it Zombie Targets. Without the character development, "just a zombie show" gets pretty dull pretty fast, and I'd honestly never advocate for that anyway.

And they seem to know that they need to develop the characters more- ergo the two-episode arc for the Governor, and the interesting move with Carol, etc... But they've done it really clumsily.

As for the Governor criticism, I'm with you. I never understood why everyone hated that part of the show so much.

I think there's a real opportunity to develop Tyreese & Michonne, but I'm worried they'll follow TWD formula...start developing a character past the badassery and when it gets interesting, kill them off.

[SHOW]

Michonne totally took the baby...evidence from earlier in the season when she was holding/crying with the baby

[Jocephus]

i hope they develop tyreese. 1) chad coleman is awesome. he kinda gets a forever pass from me for being cutty. 2) he's a badass in the comics.

[SHOW]

i too think michone got judy

[SHOW]

ehhh, i dunno. the only thing i remember michonne doing during that fight was stabbing the governor, and the baby carrier was covered in blood. if the baby wasn't in there, where'd the blood come from?

they killed the baby in the comics (i know they don't follow the comics exactly, and she would've died a completely different way)...i think she's dead, but it'd be pretty [expletive] traumatic to see a baby getting torn apart/eaten on tv, so they just showed the empty carrier covered in blood to let you know what happened.

but who knows...that's why they did it on the mid-season finale!

Re: Judith

[SHOW]

not that it's below this show to have someone disappear from being eaten - Lori for example, but Judith was strapped in a carrier. Zombies didn't eat all of her and they're not going to undo straps. Whoever took her didn't want to deal with that stupid carrier. Those things are great for specific uses, but carrying long distances is not one of them, never mind quickly. It's like carrying a suitcase on one side of you. The blood I assume is from bloody hands, or the kid took a stray bullet. I like the Michonne theory.

re: judith

[SHOW]

so FWIW this guy who does TWD videos, and is a bit of a homer but i still enjoy his commentary, has a video regarding judith. but he believes tyreese took her and you can watch the video regarding. he also includes a black and white gif of the scene
