Michonne seems underpowered in tv series

Seems like any time she needs to attack, sword-wise, she’s always winded and out of energy after a few swings.

Probably just show writing but seriously, she’s way in shape and why so many stabs to torsos?

Could just be me , dunno.

Started from season 1 again

Man, it is so hard seeing little kid Carl and 90% of the first season cast with knowing what I know now. Hurts to see them all again.

In the comments you will say put forth names for each awards and each season, the more names for that certain award, the more likely that person/thing will win.

The awards are:

Best Character award- Which character was the best/your favourite in each season

Best side/minor character- Which Side character was the best/your favourite in each season

Best Villain award- Which Villain was the best/your favourite in each season

Best written character award- Which character do you feel was written really well in each season/ who had the best arcs and developments

Best acting performance award- Which actor/actress did a phenomenal acting job and really brought their character to life.

Best Location Award- Which location seen was best in each season

What was everyone’s thoughts on the season 5 hospital drama era?

I only have 3 friends that have seen TWD (I’m working on indoctrinating more of them), but they all agree that they hated the hospital scenes with Beth in season 5. From what I remember, one of them said it was a really rough change of pace, and it felt like the writers changed direction very suddenly to increase interest in the show.

Personally, I really liked it. I thought it was an interesting take on how different people have different mentalities in the apocalypse, some of them trying to bring back the old world. Plus the whole police drama with them all being corrupt and Dawn being aware of it, I thought that was a good angle to go down, reminds you that an apocalypse can bring out the worst in people.

In my mind, the only bad thing about this whole mini-storyline is that Beth died, without really needing to. But at least we got to see some character development from her, and we also got to have Noah for a short while. Plus the doctor at the hospital was an interesting character. Lemme know what y’all think.

Andrew & Norman talk about season 4!

I love how passionately they talk about this season. It’s the darkest and one of the best written seasons imo, so fucking good. The intensely character driven storytelling, the in depth character analysis and the deep dive into the human condition and the psychology of these characters is top tier this season!

Season 11

Finally catching up on Season 11. Not sure what the consensus of this season is, but wow this show has fallen so much from its peak. I find the Commonwealth plot completely uninteresting, the acting is noticeably worse (especially Yumiko, Milton) and many scenes feel awkward / cheesy, and having this be the wrap up of the show I once loved is depressing. I get it’s hard to sustain success for 11 seasons but Rick really was the bread and butter.

Watching the show againg

I watched the show a long time ago and stopped after the first few episodes of season 7 because I got tired of it. Started watching it again with my wife last month and she loves it, says it's one of the best shows she's watched. We're on season 10 now and I also enjoy watching it. I expected it to be really bad, but maybe it's easier to watch it now when I don't have to wait for new seasons. Are the spinoffs worth watching?

Doesn't DEAD CITY undo TWD finale?

We got the Walking Dead wrapped up with a nice little bow and Maggie has left her safe home again?

I don't know if I'm going to watch this show because I just started the Daryl Dixon one and I'm pretty bored with it but I feel like they just should have left TWD alone after Rick & Michonne came home.

Maggies story is unnecessarily cruel

I have really loved Maggie since she was introduced. I saw a lot of myself in her, and still do. But her story just never gets better for her really? I don’t think arguably many characters within the walking dead that are put through that much? Here’s my timeline, I’m going to try to keep it pretty straight forward and easy to follow.

  1. Farm: Stepbrother and Stepmother are turned. Put in Barn and are told they are waiting for a cure. Meets main group, Otis is killed by Shane. She is on a run with Glenn and almost gets bit, shattering reality that there being a cure. Watches her neighbors and family members that were walkers be shot by the group. Sister tries to kill herself. Barn is overrun and burns down, losing her childhood home and not knowing if family survived. Reunites but lost another family friend Patricia.

  2. Prison: Fathers leg needs to be removed because of bite. Is left with Lori and forced to perform a C section knowing it will kill Lori. Needs to walk outside to tell rick that his wife is dead, hands covered in her blood and crying. Glenn and her get kidnapped and she is forced to listen to them beat Glenn. Is SAed by governor and brought into the room as a way to mess with Glenn. People in the prison are now getting sick. Glenn is close to dying and her father has a high chance of getting sick. Governor returns and hacks off fathers head In front of her. Prison falls.

  3. The Road: Can’t find Glenn or Beth. Assumes Beth is dead based the fact she can’t find her in the bus, and Beth was a weaker character. On the road looking for Glenn for unknown amount of time. Oh we found Beth! She’s alive! So happy! Jk Beth is shot in the head literal minuets before Maggie arrives. Grieves Beth a second time, and going through guilt for not believing in her survival.

  4. Alexandria: Is waiting for Glenn to return after attempt to move horde, doesn‘t know if he’s alive. Is helpless to help Glenn as she thinks he is about to be eaten by horde. Glenn is saved! Maggie and Glenn are pregnant and looking forward to future! Even have ultra sound photos! Oh not long after lineup happens. Oh at the same time somethings wrong with baby and she’s in pain. Watches her husband try to defend her and is getting beat up as she screams for them to stop. Man dies next to her. Husband dies across from her calling out to her and is mocked while dying. Tara kills herself and Maggie finds her.

I just think this is a lot for one person, within a span of a few months to a year. Like no wonder my girl is so high strung y’all gave her no break… I just cant think of another twd character that had this many loses and things happen to them back to back.

Abraham in Season 11

I was rewatching season 11, and Rosita talks about seeing Abraham in her dreams, giving her warnings. I feel like out of all the characters that have died in TWD, Abraham would be the easiest to bring back in a dream sequence - seeing as Michael Cudlitz directed for a couple of episodes, even in s11. I feel like it would have been much more impactful actually hearing the warning from Abraham (Plus it would be great fan-service for the last season, and it would just be funny hearing how Abraham would choose to word the warning). Is there any reason they didn't do this? The first time I watched it I really did assume it was setting up an Abraham dream sequence, or at least that he would show up at Rosita's death bed (Kinda like what Tyreese saw).

TWD too long?

After re-reading the comic book series I think the show honestly should’ve been half the length that it is and ended with the Whisperers.

If the show ended with Rick blowing the bridge to stop the whisperer heard and it culminated in the peak danger of the walkers and the humans combined it would’ve been great.

Cut the seasons in half and condense the Saviors to 1 season. It could’ve been 13 episodes like Breaking Bad instead of 16. I still appreciate the show and the vibe but like most people, I just think it went on past its best and took too long to flush out the weirdest parts.

Like, the CRM in general is such an absurd direction to takes Rick. My thoughts anyway.

Glen S6 E16

So, for one.. this is my first ever post on Reddit. Hi.

I am also way behind on watching TWD, I started season one just before Christmas last year. So, so good, don’t know why I left it so long, literally YEARS! A character I loved from the start was Glen & the lads at my work (on finding out I had only just started watching) asked ‘who’s your favourite character so far’ I told them glen..

Then they proceeded to show me a clip from I think season 6, episode 16, could be wrong which was a HUGE SPOILER .. so I’m pretty sure I’m on episode 15 of that season. And I can’t press play on next episode … I know what’s going to happen. I know how it happens and I still can’t bear to watch!! Even though I’ve seen it because they spoilt it! I don’t think I would care if it wasn’t glen. They also said that after this episode it all goes downhill and isn’t worth watching?

So, my point/question is .. shall I carry on? Is it still worth watching after this season? Is it an episode that as a fan, as I have been told,I need to watch?! I’ve enjoyed it up to now but honestly, it has been a month and I haven’t watched the next episode!!

Just tell me to stop being a wuss and watch..
