MM 54

This show is unbearable.

All the characters are unbearable, boring, bad-wirtten, no motivations, blank.

This is just painful to watch.

Youtube videos are much more enjoyable.

Finally we saw a horde of zombies in this show!! So that's why they call it Fear of the walking dead!

Been awhile since I've watched the show, so I thought I would give it another go and see if it's gotten any better. It hasn't.

Martha's motivations are ridiculous and this episode really does nothing to help us understand them. Sure, some people didn't help her when she needed them, but the first helpful person she runs into she kills... ya that makes sense. And how is she like a stealth ninja with those walkers on a stick that she uses to kill people?

Sure, maybe former English teachers get ninja training, but how does keep the walkers quiet until they can jump someone and bite them. There are many more things to complain about in this episode and the series, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Oh, wow, they had weeks to come up with a decent back story for chubby Whoopie Goldberg, a woman who went from suburban housewife losing her hubby to expert zombie wrangler and street fighter besting seasoned experts, and this is what they deliver. There were so many stupid holes in this episode, it's got to be on purpose. Either that or when this show hires writers they do it randomly without interviews or even really meeting the people before they take possession of and produce said nonsense.

The ringing in Al's ear was a intriguingly gifted plot detail...... they should have worked that up into something magical, but they let it go at the hospital. Let's not forget the Classic beer guy rant too bout how morgan chose for them to be in the hospital so it as his fault. what a winner detail that was (not). Great to see it pulled out like a reworking of a top ten song in a dub step style. Genius,....... no really,...... if you look at it with the right fake lens flare and back lighting,............. sigh.

It has had its ups and downs this season, but overall I have really liked the mood of this season. With no cartoonish antagonist to fight, the feel of day to day survival has returned to the show, which I prefer over the formulaic end-of-level-bad-guy that both TWD and FTWD has suffered from. The characters has started to grow on me and with some really good acting (the brewer especially in this episode) throughout the cast, the feel of anyone matters has emerged again. Major character deaths will hit hard. I also like the fact that Morgan, due to his firm believes and stubborness, is starting to be seen as the teams leader, which he doesn't seem to thrive with. Great episode!
