and still, what is with the W's carved into peoples forehead, or are the writers still figuring that out.

I think the 'W' is actually an upside-down 'M', which coincidentally, stands for Morgan because he'll be the next bad-ass black guy to join the group. LOL

I never mind the slower episodes if they really focus on excellent character development, but it's always nice to have some significant action thrown in.

BTW, did anyone's stomach turn a little watching Noah's death? We've all seen an incredible amount of violence on this show to the point of being completely desensitized, but that felt too personal and real to ignore. I was really shook up for a few minutes after watching that.

If the main group fractures, I'm following Rick to the bitter end. I'd follow that man to whatever end.

(I feel like I'm the quiet one of the group that follows them around, and my loyalty is with Rick above all else.

Considering the foreshadowing with the Wolves name (guessing it's a gang) I'm assuming it's that

Gabriel and Deanna? I doubt it.

Until he joined Rick's group, he was locked in a church somewhere in Georgia, and she's been locked behind the walls in Alexandria since the early days of the outbreak.

Not sure I can take much more of this.
It's not good TV. It's not interesting any more.

You obviously don't watch Game of Boobs. Also cable shows like Deadwood pushed those boundaries long ago.

The rules for cable are entirely different. Anything short of close up D in V seems acceptable for these shows.

I have to admit that this season isn't quite doing it for me, but I am still pretty interested. It at least isn't at the level of Lost yet, where I started to hate the show but just couldn't turn away after investing so much time in it.

I think the thing that bother me is just the lack of fluidity with this season. Some of the episodes in isolation are quite good (I loved the last episode), but the story line from episode 1 of the season until now changed quite a bit and combined with the gap between the 1st and 2nd half, I find it hard to be immersed in the story.

This show is also best when there is a villain that you just want to hate. Although Alexandria is weird, I am finding them difficult to hate. I think they are trying for it by showing their cowardice and Noah's gruesome death, but with only 2 more episodes this season, it might be too late.

I still generally like the show, but am a little disappointed in this season.

I never really understood the need to still watch and talk about a show you don't really like anymore or simply complain about. Either it's a character, acting, story line, etc...if you don't like the show, just move along. There have been many a show that I began watching and then simply stopped because I didn't like it anymore. I certainly didn't feel the need to keep posting about it on a forum or somewhere else, I just left well enough alone.

It's really not a big deal to just tune out and do something else with your time if you don't enjoy it anymore. It's quite simple actually.

HBO operates with a different ruleset than most channels. Have you ever seen an AMC show with nudity or explicit language?

AMC has the same ability as HBO because they are a "cable" network, but they choose to not show nudity or allow extremely coarse language. Although, Breaking Bad was allowed one f bomb per season.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

I don't understand the complaints. The show is great right now. Best it's been in about a season and a half at least. I think people just like complaining.

It's the advertising. HBO doesn't have commercials, so they don't have to worry about scaring away advertisers with bad language or nudity.

The ad-supported networks keep slowly pushing the line further and further. FX is basically at a point where the "F" word and full frontal nudity are the only lines they haven't crossed (yet). Sons of Anarchy and The Americans have both had sex scenes that were otherwise so graphic that it's almost silly that they made them without showing a single female nipple.

Yeah. Interested enough. Have watched it since day 1. Thought it was brilliant for most of 3 seasons. I think it's OK to be disappointed it it falling off, as I see it, and comment on it.

I don't think we need to speak with a single voice.

I was tempted to toss up the Willy Wonka "Please, tell me more" meme, but decided I didn't want you to tell me more. It's fine if you don't like the show, but how about contributing to the conversation rather than tossing up a drive-by? You know...something like this:

You're right - my post added nothing meaningful to the discussion, just like your drive by response didn't.

Whom should I check with first, to ensure my post meets minimum requirements?

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Just PM it to me first. I have about a 72 hour turnaround time for post approval though so just be prepared for that.

His response at least had more effort than yours.......

That doesn't make sense.


There has already been indication(s) on the show that there is a group that calls themselves the Wolves running around destroying ####. Noah's community appeared to be attacked by "The Wolves".
