Zombie Apocalypse Show isn't Real Enough (The Walking Dead on AMC)

Production mistake. There was no reason to bash the bike up further out of frame, they should have just had Dwight get back on and it be flooded or broken throttle, something like that. Not a broken wheel and fender missing from dropping it on it's side. It makes the writers seem unaware of how closely people watch for things that seem out of place. Movie writing/production teams pretty much 'get it'. TV....eh, not so much.

 

The walker landed on the bike from the overpass above

 

Nope, he missed.

 

I gotta watch that scene again tonight

 

I rewatched, he missed. I was thinking the same when he was pushing it "What'd I miss" so I looked again.
I quit watching 'sons of anarchy' over things like that.

 

They ALL are technically infected so I dont see how it matters. I think they are feeding the hogs walkers to clean up and theres lots of walkers for them to eat.

 

Neagan's routine will get mighty old by the end of this season.

I also thought the flying walker landed on the bike too, and that's why Dwight jumped out of the way.

 

Ha! I watched Sons just for the sheer ridiculousness factor.

 

yeah although negan is portrayed as a bada$$ he tactically shouldnt be a match for what Rick and crew have gone through...Michonne looks like shes going to snipe something.

 

That's all it would take with all the resentment built up.....take out a couple of leaders in a coordinated attack.....ally.

I know last night had a lot of Daryl but it was based on Dwight's resentment story. They're 'not cool'. I don't know if it showed enough to others watching but that's the jist.

 

I watched a couple of the last ones just to see how they would wrap it up. (it was a great premise, Hamlet on bikes) Knew he had to kill Gemma (it was literally a rip-off of "Look at the flowers, Lizzy") but the thought finale was great. I don't think I missed much.

 

Good, it wasn't just me then! lol

 

This was probably the worst directed episode of the entire series...

It took 20min to make it obvious that the music was being played aloud in Daryl's cell. I though that it was just montage music. Also the opening sandwich montage was so poorly done I thought my DVR was skipping. The walkie talkie was almost inaudible when Negan and Dwight were talking. I had no idea what's dwight was doing out walking his bike around until he found the guy he ended up killing.

These character focused episodes are so boring. I just don't understand why they insist on skipping 2-3 episodes between plot lines. Are we eventually going to pick up with Rick and the group still where Negan left them with 2 dead bodies lying next to them? They can't be struggling for content, just stick to the books. The hard part is already done. Just put it on screen

 

Oooooooh next week is 90min aka an extra 20min of commercials

 

unfortunately, your prob. right. I remember as a kid when cable had little ads but all they showed were reruns of Gilligan or The Brady Bunch.
I realize programming takes money but the other morning I was up real early and time to kill..turned on TVLand and I Love Lucy was on....
Just as much commercials as network. In fact, I think they cut down the episode.



Be an interesting poll.
Would you prefer to see product placement into programming over commercial breaks? It could get pretty cheezy though.

 

I like the product placement. I remember the show Chuck used to do it with Subway on their last couple seasons bc they kept barely avoiding the axe. The cheesiness was great, but it was also a comedy so it worked

 

Daryl doing a whole minute on the side effects of opiate induced constipation medication? Bloody diarrhea, black tarry stools........

Don't let Rick though, he talks too dam slow.

 

It kinda seemed like there were more walkers dropping down after that first one. As soon as the scene cut away, it looked like another one dropped.

 

yet he cleaned the guts off? hmmmm, maybe.
Point is, for all they claim about the writing and how much they put into details, blah, blah....they always make us slap our foreheads with the dumb crap they leave out.
I stand by what I've (Mel Brooks actually) said before. Hollywood is overflowing with good actors and have 5 good writers.

 

meanwhile....
