So I'm kind of beyond zombies at this point, but figured I'd go back and touch base with this trend before the well was completely dry. World War Z was actually a very entertaining book and it's a shame the movie is nothing like it. Given the scale of most of the chapters, it was easily filmed. Oh well. After I gave up on this show (after about three episodes of me yelling JUST SHOOT HIM at the 'governor'), I decided I'd read the comic books. What amazes me is how many of the annoyances of the first two seasons is true to the comic book. Surely they'd just shoot the tyrant rather than put up with him for months, right? Nope. Surely there aren't entire issues where absolutely nothing happens, right? Nope. Hilariously, when I caught up on the issues this summer, there was a gigantic twist and cliffhanger that left you wondering how any of it would be resolved. The next issue? Nothing happens. ~146 issues into it and I give up. Season 2 of the video game was good but nowhere near as good as the first one. I played through with a friend and we made Clem as mean as possible. Didn't budge the plot an inch. Have the skin walkers made an appearance in the show yet? |

Remember Dale's death? How out Otis? Hershel? Yeah they aren't good at doing realistic deaths. So based on what we visually saw at the end of that episode, no matter if he lives or dies, either result is b.s. based on what they showed us at least. |

OK, so let me get this straight.. you already have the virus, but you don't turn unless you die. You can get bit and turn, but you can get cut and then get bled on by a zombie and not turn. A zombie can walk for weeks or months with no food, no water, and even no blood moving to feed the muscles with energy to actually do this. If you take away their teeth they can't eat and hence get complacent and don't attack, yet hordes of thousands with no food to keep them going can go on for months and still be aggressive. You can cover yourself with zombie guts and blood and they won't eat you, but hack up a bunch of zombies and get all bloody and they still know to eat you. All this and a hundred other holes and the thing that will lead to breaking your suspension of disbelief is the idea that Glenn could end up being shielded by a body while they eat it and not scurry under the dumpster or something to get away (or slash some legs, get blood on him and be camouflaged)... ? The story is the story, holes and all. I don't agree with a ton of stuff they did but it's not my story, so I just have to take it for what it is. I was surprised as hell when he went down, and like everyone else I am hoping some kind of miracle will happen. The fact that they have not confirmed it in any way, shape, or form is enough to tell me he isn't dead until they say he is dead and show his dead body. I could look for clues but there are too many holes already, so what's the point? When they say he's dead, he's dead. Chances are he's dead. He's experienced and cool under pressure.. if his guts weren't being ripped out, he wouldn't be screaming like that. On the one hand, I saw Glenn, Rick, Carl, and Darrell as the "unkillables".. the main characters in the story. You could kill off Michone, Carol, or anyone else and I would be fine with it. On the other hand, Glenn hasn't had much of a part for a while really. He almost ate it, then took on the guy who tried to kill him like he was some kind of mentor.. That is the sum of what he did in the last season and a half. Definitely just B-plot material, not main story line. Killing him, in retrospect, makes sense. They eliminated any importance of him in the story over the past dozen episodes and now it works to kill him. It just happened in such an oddball way that it's disappointing. A survivor doesn't put himself at risk to try to get a loser coward to make a decision under the pressure of life and death. He should have taken charge and just gotten the hell out of there, and instead he trusted some idiot to lead him to a dead end. Hell, get in a car and wait it out.. the horde will move on, leaving a few walkers trying to get in the car, then bust out. DONE. If anything upsets me about the holes in this series, it's how they ignore the obvious and always end up doing something idiotic. |

I think Glen hit his limit over a season ago. He has been honestly pretty lame as a character after the governor episodes. And I also think this is panning out to be the best season so far. 3 episodes of action from beginning to end. Rick is as crazy as he is awesome. Carol goes Rambo style again. Walkers actually matter. The entire group is actually out doing something. |
