Discuss The Walking Dead

It’s things like this that seem to be happening more and more in “The Walking Dead” that I can’t suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy. Those 50-cal rounds should have gone through the Jeep that Rick was driving front to back like it was cardboard, but besides one round making it to the radiator, all the others were actually bouncing off his grill, hood and even his windshield. I watched that scene twice and they actually put that cheap animated effect of bullets leaving sparks as they ricochet off. Ricocheting off a windshield!

I know it’s probably a penny-pinching move by AMC, but it’s really stretching credulity.

I found the bouncing bullets odd, too, but hey -- IT'S A TV SHOW ABOUT ZOMBIES! Give it a break, ha ha. grin

Why not have a giant pink hippo urinating on screen for half an hour during next week's episode? Because, hey, it's just a tv show about zombies, right?

Yes! Yes! And Neil DeGrasse Tyson, bound to a crucifix and explaining how the virus happened in the first place. It's a TV show about zombies!

Thank Christ you're not writing this show. Then again, not like it matters at this juncture. What you proposed sounds far more interesting than endless shooting scenes this season

The most predictable response to my post would happen to be the most banal one.

Your posts are not particularly interesting.

And you are wrong if you think people enjoy watching shows that are not remotely believable. TWD is successful because it's story was presented as relatively believable for a show about dead people being alive. The dead are arguably not what this show is about. If the human elements aren't believable, the show fails and that's exactly why the numbers are down this season for viewership.

LMAO, my posts were "interesting" enough to provoke those responses from you, weren't they?

Why don't you buy yourself a small dog that you can talk down to, without fear of verbal reprisal?

My post was interesting. Yours was not. Not sure why you're confused.

You seem to have deliberately missed my point, loser. You took enough interest in my posts in this thread to respond to them, several times. Yet you claim that my posts "are not particularly interesting." grinning

You're pinging me with every one of your pitiful responses. Buzz off, kiddo.

Yea, the thread has definitely become a shell of its former self. I might as well delete all of my posts in it, because "His Excellency" has turned it into a way to validate His Ego.
