The Walking Dead
Apr. 4th, 2016 06:41 amI'm with all the reviewers. This season of The Walking Dead has traumatized me to the point that I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to bother with continuing to watch the show after this season.
"What's going to happen next," is an appropriate cliff hanger. "Who are the storm trooper knights with lances," is an appropriate cliff hanger.
Watching Carol, the one person who grew well past her abused-wife mentality falling apart at the seams was not only ridiculous, but a pathetic story plot whose only purpose was to get Morgan to run into the storm trooper knights, and maybe prove that he really is willing to kill after all. But I just don't buy it. In fact, the whole transformation of both Carol and Maggie are disappointing.
Maggie having issues with her pregnancy as an excuse to get everyone worth a damn out of Alexandria to the point that the town has been left to Father Pushover was just annoying. Rick thinking leaving the town in the Father's hands is a good idea, because he's a changed man and has had all of two hours of official combat training, had me wanting to throw shit at Rick's head. The Saviors hanging out on the roads like they somehow knew Maggie was going to have trouble and the whole gang would be out and about driving to The Hilltop was asinine. Having their little clearing in the woods at the exact spot to where Rick and The Gang ran was way too contrived.
And, of course, the "who's getting their brains turned into PB&J with a baseball bat," is NOT an appropriate cliff hanger.
