I'm not one to complain about the "boring" scenes and I generally agree that it is annoying when people complain about that, but something got me tonight.  I don't know if it was the commercial breaks every five minutes or what but it seemed a little drawn out for me.  An hour and a half is a long time to set something up especially in the season premiere.  

I think it's saying something when a truck horn got me excited.

Yea the ending was a little cheesy. An hour and a half of constant commercials, black and white "flashbacks", a seemingly random yet large mission for the group and Rick being a douchebag only to have it ended by a fuging truck horn. Seems like not much was accomplished with the plot imo. Still beats the hell outta season 4 though. Nothing compared to season 5.

Did they ever say where they were leading the herd to? 

I liked the b/w flashbacks vs live action. I think that was kind of cool. 

The whole quarry full of walkers that close to Alexandria and never being noticed was kind of a wtf though. They have been sending recruiters out and nobody ever stumbled across this?

I found it to be a little flat as well, but I think a lot of it was having to reestablish so many characters and what conflicts they had with who. The show tends to work better with a little smaller group that focuses on the interpersonal relationships and survival.

The effects team keeps getting better though....

I liked it.

 

The quarry thing was kind of meh because it was a little contrived. They could have just had the wolves herding the herd somewhere where the Alexandrians wouldn't find them so easily. I guess one could argue that maybe they hadn't explored that direction yet? Maybe they started out West, since that is where they were leading the herd to?

Anyway. I'm curious about the horn honking. Was it the wolves who decided to show up because of all the flares? Was it a malfunction in a vehicle near the community?

Either way, they are drawing a lot of unwanted attention to themselves. Kind of a bad plan on Rick's part with the herd. They should have just figured out a way to kill them at the quarry.

It'll be interesting to see how the Morgan/Rick/Michonne angle plays out.

      NBA Draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I don't follow the NBA but I think that kid has a lot of upside. Really good athlete for his size.

      Will the Panthers be better than most are expecting?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I truly don't see how they could be any worse than last season. Having a rookie head coach isn't always great but he seems to care much more than Frank ever did and appears to actually put forth effort while also having some sort of desire to improve so that in itself should help them exceed expectations.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Mage · Posted

      I literally said in my other post that we still deserve criticism, so what are you talking about?  Do you even know what my initial post was about?  Never once did I say it was okay to draft a bust because other teams draft busts. Mods, feel free to put me in my place if I'm going too far.  But it needs to be said. Some of you need to start reading posts in full instead of making it about Bryce every single damn time.  Ultimately my point was that drafting QBs is hard, and if it wasn't the Panthers mistake, it would have been another teams.  Just like Trey Lance, just like Mac Jones, just like Blake Bortles, just like Blaine Gabbert,... I can go on and on.   Yes, Panthers screwed up (assuming Bryce doesn't improve).  Yes, we should be criticized.  But it happens.  The guy asked how it happens and I was just answering his question.  That teams miss on QBs every year, because getting a QB is hard and teams will take every opportunity they can to get one.  But I'm not about to sit and discuss this with someone who thinks Levis even had .001% chance of going ahead of Bryce.  That tells me all I need to know.  No reasonable person would even throw him in the discussion.
