Something's been bugging me for the last few seasons... Rarely does an episode feel like a complete episode to me; it feels like 15 minutes have been lobbed off, or I'm left with a 'that's it?' feeling when it abruptly ends, left feeling a tad unsatisfied
And I don't think it stems from the serialized story-arc format of The Walking Dead. The other few shows I watch regularly seem capable of offering a complete story within the 43-60 minutes limits each week, and they are all part of a larger season-long story arc.
It's almost like The Walking Dead is designed to be enjoyed in giant binge-sittings, one episode right after the other, rather than 'tune in next week' kind of thing.
This feeling has really been grating me this season--much more than previous season--although I noticed this earlier in the show's life.
Anybody else feel that way?
