Walking Dead Season 5

[massphatness]

It feels anti climatic. I don't like that I know what's happening as far as the outbreak is concerned.

That said, I will keep watching for now.

I enjoyed the second episode. I hope that's not the last we see of Tobias, I like the kid.

I'm iffy on the kid. I like that he kind of is "getting it" quicker than the others... but I'm on the fence. He could go either way.

It held strong through the 2nd episode. The police officer nonchalantly loading bottled water into his cruiser was seriously creepy.

I kind of like that the first reaction is rioting. It actually makes a weird amount of sense. No one expects zombies... so police shooting the hell out of a zombie dude is going to look like police violence. I also like that they're having these riots be what's really tearing everything apart, well before the zombies become a big problem.

I'm sick of the drug addled kid already.
And I was hoping those two parents would simply die when they had their little phone argument... "I'm coming over! is my son there?" "Don't you dare come over, it isn't your visiting time!" "Is my son there?" "You don't get to change the schedule!" ..... seriously? Is it too hard to say "There is an Emergency"? the argument seemed forced because they purposely made both characters too stupid to communicate.

But... I am having a bit of fun. It's playing out like the beginning of a very long zombie movie.

I'm digging it so far, I like the feeling of dread and despair. I'm glad his ex (the actress....not sure of her name, and not looking it up) landed a great gig....I liked her in Orange Is The New Black.

Yeah, I like Tobias......I thought for a min he was going to stab her when she gave the knife back to him.

Ok, last night's episode really stepped it up.

A few things....
1 - Why is there always some dumb-azz who while confronted with things which are clearly continuing to move around after multiple attempts to stop them, are EATING people... and look like zombies.... always has to make a "no guns" stand? Really? I've never felt a need to own a gun in my life, but the instant sh#t like that starts to hit the fan, I'll probably be buried under so many guns I'll just die of suffocation. I want the dad to die. He's starting to piss me off with his willful refusal to adopt a survival strategy.

2 - Blonde mom is stepping it up. She's held back by dad dude.

3 - I like Reuben Blade's character. He's getting all the good lines right now. Too bad his wife is going to die and start eating people.

National Guard coming in was a nice side-step. I wasn't expecting to see a "last hurrah" out in the suburbs, and their sudden arrival was fun, and a bit of a shock. I'm sure there's going to be some fallout from this.

I'm kinda with ya Victor about the dad.......I mean he was there when that kid's dealer came back to "life" right? I get it's hard to comprehend that people are returning from the dead, but ya have to survive too.

Really liked that the National Guard showed up.....really digging the show.....where is Tobias?

Just watched the recent episode. I had to stop and rewind when the dad said to put the gun down. Dude was just eating a dog and you've already seen the drug dealer not die, wtf!

I can guess what Rueben Blade's character is going to face with the way the episode ran. He won't be able to kill his wife when she turns for call the dad weak.

And what's with Johnny Dope, why hasn't he changed clothes yet!

I said the same thing to my wife, why is he still wearing that old guy's clothes from the hospital

OK so I just rewatched the latest episode.

Spoiler. . .


I was hoping that maybe the flashing lights were Tobias maybe signaling out to people. But at the end I was paying more attention to the last scene. At first I thought it was the dad actually coming to realize that there may be someone at the house after seeing the flashing lights himself. But I had the volume really turned up and you can actually hear gunshots, faintly, with the flashing lights.

I liked the episode. Heavy on the whole... can't trust the government during the zombie apocalypse... but I like it.

My understanding was that at the beginning of the episode someone was trying to signal to the kid that they're out there outside the fence... they were doing this by the flashing lights.
At the end of the episode.... after the dad told the national guard commander (or whatever his rank) about the lights coming from the house, when he went to look at it there were lights, then there were the gunshots. Seemed clear that the troops are going outside the fence and simply shooting anyone (living or dead... note the dead guy with the gun the mom saw). That's how they're maintaining a "virus free" zone...
