The Walking Dead

[Miriel]

I feel like a lot of your responses to my questions are pretty thin answers that just goes to show that the writing on the show isn't really that great. Rather paltry as the old man with the good vocabulary would say.
There's always things that don't make a ton of sense in TV shows, but a lot of the times you a) don't notice it, or b) your suspension of disbelief can carry you through it so that it doesn't pull you out or distract you from the story. All the stuff I listed were things that completely sucked me out of the story. Things I commented on WHILE watching the show which totally took away from the enjoyment. The last scene of Episode 2 with Asian dude roaring through the streets with his alarm on? Totally took away from what was otherwise a gripping episode. This kind of dumb writing brings down the show. I heard that the comics are critically acclaimed so I'm surprised by the lack of wit and storyteling ability on the show.

By the cause, I don't mean the scientific explanation for what happened, I mean, someone could have at some point filled in the gaps between the time that Mr. Sherriff was in the hospital and the world was all right, and the time he woke up and everything had gone to . Maybe they did and we didn't hear it, in which case, BALLS. The most we got was that they were overrun at some point and that the government was still actively trying to control this thing (ie: evacuating people, setting up refugee points, etc). Some sort of explanation of how it went down is necessary I think, and the opportunity to give that explanation was in this past episode. It seems weird that they're waiting to do the exposition on this, or maybe they're not planning on doing it at all.

The thing with them heading into the zombiefied Atlanta that is so ridiculously stupid to me, despite whatever excuses y'all can come up with, is that the first time we see Mr. Sherriff go into Atlanta it's clear that it's absolutely deserted and that people were fleeing from the city. But he's all, "duuurrr, I wonder what's waiting for me in the city!" and leads his nice horse to slaughter. Poor horsie! And then later he has the galls to call it a "trap". No, mister, it wasn't a trap if you can clearly see what's ahead of you is danger!

That's like calling a cliff a trap. C'mon.

Just a single line of dialogue that said, "we've raided all the stores in the nearby area, Atlanta's all that's left" would have made everything make a lot more sense. Why they would put themselves in so much danger.

He said he didn't know how to stop it once he got to camp and the car was fast and nice. He was thrilled when he was speeding with it.

That doesn't explain away the stupidity.

Don't remember the safety thing, but I doubt that the women can force the men to help with washing if they don't want to or feel like it. A lot of women feel prone to have things clean as well.

Are you serious with this?
