The good thing about twd is how it can change dynamics at the click of a finger. The setting, the look and the relationships. Atleast they are brave, offing 2 kids in 1 episode is very controversial.
Atleast they try new things, for me the group being separated as much as they are has been a bit plodding and i think the show really misses rick.
My favourite stuff is in the city, i love the deserted imagery there, it's more eerie than anywhere else as it should be heaving. I'd love the look of season 1 back.
Hoping they ramp it up with terminus, the buzz is that is home of the cannibals and the group will have a tough job trying to escape.
Have a feeling daryls group is part of the cannibal lot too
Other than killing off characters, everything else has become teh same old same old.. Oh look, they go into a house, the house should be empty..NOT, they kill the zombies. Oh look they go into a store, the store should be empty when they check inside, NOT...
They didnt "develope" the characters in the first season, nor did they in the second season (IMO th ebest seasons of the show). in those two season they had enough material to focus on the STORY... but now in season 4 or 5 or whatever it is, they ran out of material, so they just keep adding characters and want to kill screen time by developing characters.
The storyline is lacking, first few season the story had a goal, they knew what to do. But the past couple of seasons, the show has just become "live to fight for another day". Whats the end game here? are they going to find a cure? are they going to get to "safety" ? cuz for teh past two fucking seasons all i saw was the prison and woodbury. One shouldnt lose focus of the big picture and the big story, and that is that a Zombie Apocalypse happened, what are we doing with that? The story should progress towards that, not just stall.
Take the show True Detective for example. The Big picture was to catch teh killer. The season had alot of character development, and spanned over 17 years i believe, but not once in that show did anything divert from the goal, which was to find the killer.
But in TWD, wasnt there like 2-3 episodes just to deal with people in the prison getting sick or whatever? we get the point, shit happens and people get sick, dont watse 2-3 episodes on it, sow us where the show is heading
