haha i like the dude, but i agree. acted like tonight was all mindblowing when it was pretty downright awful.

kinda sad to see Deanna go. kinda liked her. except for her rage face at the end, that was facepalm worthy.

I like him too, but every week he's like, "OMG we have so much to talk about tonight" no, no you don't. Lol they need to cut it back to 30 minutes.

Didn't watch talking dead but the walking dead was prob the most boring mid season ever. I think maybe because of the graphic novel my view of this show is slanted but it's just become awful.

I haven't read the graphic novels but I'm with you, its become a snore fest.

I kind of took that as a omen or a warning that she's going to be seen again as a zombie to bite someone later on like Morgan or someone... Like that ants all over the cookie was for their little safe haven.

I'm still a fan of the show, but honestly some of the things they do is frustrating.

I don't see the point in putting the "main cast" in any situation of immediate peril. Like Maggie for instance in yesterday's episode. Did anyone really believe the walker's would bite her when she was trying to climb the ladder? Even when the ladder rope broke and it was barely hanging on? No, it was a waste of time and unnecessary. At no time do I feel like the main cast is in any real danger. Maybe they're trying to portray that on screen, but they're not going to kill them.

Too much Deanna speech time. She wasn't an important character. Just off her and be done with it. Boring guest on Talking Dead too.

I'm seeing a lot more negativity towards the show online today, most I've seen after an episode. I'm hoping the ratings will drop to send a message to fix their writing.

This show has really gone downhill. Now I think I'm just watching to kinda root for certain characters to die because I can't stand them.

How bad does the character have to be for people to root for 12 year old Carl to get bitten by a walker?

They shoulda had Maggie fall into the walkers, right as Glenn gets there. Then Enid has to keep him from freaking out and dying.

I don't dislike Carl like I used to, but honestly I have no interest in seeing any characters stay alive outside of Carol or Rick. Carol just to see what new way she can adjust. And Rick just to see far he'll go to stay alive.

Other than that, I wouldn't care who gets offed. But the myth of "nobody is safe" that they love to push on Talking Dead is completely false. They're losing me with their cheesy shots to make it look like someone is dead, Glen twice, only to have him survive.

And The Wolves seemed to have no motive other than to kill everyone in Alexandria. The one Morgan caught has said as much. Something to the effect of "We free you and pick up what's left". Something like that. So Carol and Morgan are unconscious on the floor, the Wolf has a gun to the doc's(Denise) head, with Rosita, Tara, Eugene standing there unarmed.....and he walks out? He doesn't take the opportunity to kill Carol or Morgan, or any of them?

Whatever. Nobody is safe my ass.

I still like it and look forward to it each week. I'll agree that this was probably the weakest mid season finale (other than the shock of Beth getting shot, last year's was the worst) but it was still a pretty solid episode.

This season has been one of the better ones IMO. it's better than most of S2 and S3. Both of which meandered for way too many episodes. It's better than the flu story of S4 (and even though I enjoyed the journey to Terminus, the whining in this thread was pretty vocal) and much much much better than the hospital story of S5.

Seriously, some of you have been complaining about the pacing and the characters for the past 3 seasons. If you're bored with I guess quit watching.

I get that. It's been a while since a "main character" has gotten it.

The problem is the show has built this following around a nebulous of characters (Rick, Carl, Daryl, Carol, Glenn, Maggie, and Michonne). The others are now expendable but they have to keep them around long enough and build their characters up enough to make you care at least a little when they do die.

For me, it depends on the guests. Kevin Smith and Paul Bettany the other week were good/hilarious and the show was great. Tonight's show was just kinda meh. Chris Jericho was hilarious the time(s?) he's been on.

I'm fairly certain one of Kevin Smith's life missions is to make no less than one lewd sex joke for every single public appearance. The man cannot help himself

I thought the mid season was "decent" - but I've honestly had to adjust my expectations for this show. They could've done worse... much worse. The kid talking at the end was beyond stupid; the fact that no one tried to shut him the F up is dumber yet.

I'm starting to see the problem that most shows eventually fall victim to: character motives/actions taking a back seat to plot devices and the storyline.

Someone does or says something completely illogical/out of character because the writers have gotten lazy and/or the producers have grow complacent and everyone accepts a half baked script. The kid talking in the zombie mosh pit is a prime example; he should have been too terrified to speak - you know, the way he's acted the ENTIRE FREAKIN SEASON?!

The Carroll/Morgan confrontation is another foul, in my opinion.

Caroll: He's going to kill us; he must die.

Wolf: Yeah, dude, I'm going to kill you guys.... no, seriously.

Morgan: Nooooo, life is preshus!!!

I'm just enjoying the thread turn like Dexter and True Blood did. Both started out as a love fest, a couple seasons and few people complained, then it was half of thread, by the end of both shows we all just posted to laugh at how goofy both shows became. I'm curious who the last man standing will be.

i don't agree with that at all. S2-S4 at it's worst, was about on par with nearly the entirety of the 1st half of this season. S2-S4 at it's best, was way, WAY better than any moment of this half season at it's best.

agreed that the Beth/ATL hospital story in S5 was the absolute worst though. I've tried to completely wipe those episodes from my memory.
