and lol at the cgi in the finale


and the car windows and hearing, wtf was that

prolly

Some A+ bashing and remarks regarding the finale. Wp.
I'm still pissed that they totally disregarded him even being in a friggin TANK. I mean yeah probably not a whole lot is gonna come of it, likely no fuel left etc. but damn you just survived from a sure death and for the time being are now secured in something you'll probably never see the inside of again. Turn the ignition, check the gauges and radars, shoot a friggin missile lol.

What about the Mexican nursing home, though? I know it was a ******ed concept but why did they just leave it at that? I missed why they abandoned even the possibility of maybe teaming up with them again or whatever. Esseeee.

The show does have more loose ties or possible "side plot branches" than usual,
which they may or may not explore. I haven't read the comics but the likes of the man and son and the redneck feel like characters that could be throwaway material in comics but can't be in a TV-series.

I like how thy hammered in the idea that there's no hope in this world.

It's like following a bunch of ******s strolling trough apocalypse. Things to complain about: hunger, water, shelter, no sleep, getting killed by a fire explosion. Things not to complain about: shower, lost relatives, burial methods, ethics, behavior. "oh, I have a f****ing grenade in my purse!" "Decontaminated, what does that mean?"

Someone needs to get axed. I want heads since this series opened up well and the comics have potential as a story line, however this series does not.

Don't blame the comics, they have a decent story line which this series has deviated completely from since episode 4.

1. Yes? Not really a big issue, I can't remember correctly.
2. Yes and it has nothing to do with the series cause.

BTW the grenade CGI was much worse than the building explosion. That was just lol-bad.

But who is the father! Gasp. Never would see that coming.

I like that they used the like 3 minutes of business with Dale and the blond from last week to justify the fact that he saved her life, but was more than willing to let the black red shirt die.

The doctor is just such classic bad fiction writing. The guy who has information, but reveals it in an annoying coy manner, plus oh yeah he's crazy and you're all going to die.

finale should have spent more time showing people taking showers

There's a very good reason no one is saying that episode didn't suck.

Only good part was the bit before the credits. I really wanted more flashbacks to the initial outbreak.

Based on the comic book spoiler someone posted earlier in thread:

you watch tv shows with groups of people? and who are casual fans, people who havent read the comic, that by all accounts ive heard this show is becoming almost "loosely" based on?

Of course they kill off one of the black people. 2 were just too many!

What, you didn't shed a tear when he was talking to a picture of his dead wife? The reveal that she was the test patient was epic too.

So freaking tilting how this season went downhill so fast

if by epic, you mean obvious as soon as we saw jenner's wedding ring, heard the weird name of "patient 19," and heard him talk about how it was a great mind, then yes.

In case it wasn't clear, that was my point, by "epic", I meant "fail of epic proportions". They spell everything out, they try and connect emotional moments to characters which we have zero connection to whatsoever.... the doctor symbolized most of what was wrong with this show.

Thinking about the "reveal" scene even gets more tilting. The line "Patient 19 was your wife."

Of course that had to be said audibly because nothing can be inferred, god forbid

" Inspired by " I really hate that phrase.

Seems like it's used when people want to cash in on an existing fan base but don't want to faithfully adapt that material for whatever reason.

Do you really need to be inspired by anything recent to make a zombie holocaust TV show ? Night of the Living Dead came out in the late 60's if i'm not mistaken.

If they had reproduced the comic books scene for scene I doubt anyone familiar with the books would have any complaints about changes. The last thing I want to see is someone butcher good material during an "adaptation".

And those unfamiliar with the comic books would be enjoying this series even more , since the books don't suck

anyone got ratings for each episode this season? im guessing EP 1 was the highest

My guess is that Lori is pregnant.

Nope, last week by a bit. Only first show ratings of course.

lol good point, bunch of racists

nice link.

im surprised how strong its still going. im assuming it was slightly over 5mil las tnight

people kept watching thinking "ok, this week $hit is gonna go down!!!!" then next week rolled around. "Man, next week is gonna be an all out bloodfest!" then next week rolled around etc.

this entire season had about a half hour of good stuff.

I like twitter for opinions outside of 2p2, i generally agree with the 2p2 audience.

this guy makes an interesting point

wtf?? WTF?!!? lol the best twitter post i could find

That seems rather dumb. Though they pretty much should have told him to chill for a while because when he first got there nothing was around the tank and then later in the show there was no huge grouping in the area.

I was mainly listing stuff that crossed multiple episodes and wasnt the obvious "not die from zombies".

The faux gang nursing home was pretty dumb but i dont think it was as dumb as people think. It just served no purpose for the show other than if they were trying for a Crash style "not all Mexicans are gangster homes, you racist or summit?".

What that whole mini story represents is the failing for the show. They could have spent half an ep (1/12th the entire season) developing the characters or just doing something awesome like it turns out they are actual gang members so it can represent that society will not just all pull together in a crisis. But instead it was, i guess, some kind of moral message that fell flat.

I assume the racist brother, black guy and son and the helicopter are going to be back in season two. The problem is only the helicopter part was handled well and it wasnt particularly necessary to have it given the show hasnt revisited it apart from when they joked about it when they first got to the camp.

The biggest problem from these loose thread sideplots is they should be interesting, and for the most part they are, but they dont add anything to the show itself and detract from the rest of it.

Basically the first season, esp with it so short, needed to be an introduction to the characters and the environment. Convoluted (and i use that cynically not complimentary) reasons to go back near zombies with no payoff is a waste of time. The show didnt need to have the main guy drop the guns and radio and it didnt need to have them travel to the CDC to learn very little.

End of the day the show needs to decide whether it is going to be an action show with constant danger and lots of headshots and random stupid explosions or a clever psychological show where they are struggling to cope with the changed world and some are choosing to become zombies and others are choosing suicide over facing the future. I dont think either one is expressly better than the other but the show right now kinda lives in the middle and no one has a strong handle on what to expect. Significantly the writers arent concentrating on either which leaves a lot of shallow scenes with a CDC doctor deciding to murder them all leading to a mad dash to get away and the other extreme of the sister sitting by her dead and turning sister. Both of which missed the mark with what they were trying to achieve.
