Big reveal from episode 2. The guy who just seemed like some token nebulous dark skinned guy (Indian? Hispanic? Who knows?) is actually a.... Maori! [Reply]

Yeah, cuz they've been in the zombie apocalypse for what now, 2 maybe 3 weeks? A majority of it spent behind fences with armed military or on a boat. [Reply]

No. Because Rick, Red, and Darryl would have cleaned them up all by themselves pre or post apocalypse. And two of those three could just sit and watch. [Reply]

Ricks group, 2 -3 weeks in, would have taken this group in. This group would not have taken Rick's group in. [Reply]
Sorry, but this show just isn't very good. Putting aside the seeming need to touch on all the cultural and racial buttons I've noticed that, besides some pretty poor writing, the show suffers from:
- Tension only comes with stupidity. The only time anyone is at risk is when they're off doing completely ignorant things.
- Characters do things for absolutely no good reason. In the last episode...
Spoiler!
When Strand asks druggie kid Nick to go pick up his friend that we meet in the flashbacks the kid shows up on the beach swimming naked. The kid doesn't tell anyone that he is going? Strand evidently wants to keep it a secret. Why? Why would it happen this way?
and
Spoiler!
When druggie kid Nick gets ashore he washes himself in guts so the walkers can't find him. Then, for the rest of the episode, not a single walker materializes. He is asked to wash it off by the guy he is picking up when the hordes arrive (but in the background). It's another example of scenes existing just to show off some guts and gore instead of spending the time to show them to some effect.
- The casting director needs to be fired. Whoever is casting all the young males evidently thinks it is smart and interesting to have everyone look the same. They all sport the same haircut and have the same male model look.
- Being on a boat was a dumb way to go. Literally, you could do any kind of show you wanted in this universe and they decide to go out on a boat. It almost got good when it looked like they might focus on trying to experiment on people to see what makes this virus/plague/? work, but instead we have to follow a bunch of people around on a boat.
I've stuck it out this far and will probably go a little further, but the whole thing is really stupid so far. [Reply]
