I created such a thread a few years ago but nobody uses it. I'll give it a bump and link to it in the spoiler:

The title of the show tells you they will always be on the move. -wink-

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

I apologize. For some reason, I thought I did put it in a spoiler. It's been corrected and I can guarantee that you will be surprised if this character shows up.

Woodbury took Glen + Michonne, that was the first time Rick heard of them, he went in there guns a blazin', there was no way The Governor was going to let him live there.

I know there's a spoiler thread, but I have to mention this here.

[spoiler]When the dinosaur zombies show up in DC, the series really lost me[/spioler]

I guess I'm the only one who is looking forward to [comics][/comics].

The episode was pretty good. Rick was absolutely right not to trust that guy. I liked Michonne better when she just grunted instead of forming words. I think the main problem with this show is the writers don't know how to write for large casts. Too many characters stuck in the background too often and the only way they get screentime is by splitting everyone up and leaving half the cast out of each episode.

I thought the comic where Carl was molested by a zombie teacher took things too far.

Male or female?

I was also pretty horrified to see such a casual depiction of a normal, loving relationship.

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Carl was a male at the time. He didn't transition to female until the mid #120s of the comics.

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

ha, but all of the gore/violence/cannibalism/attempted rape is ok for his kids?

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Huh ... Peoplesauce?

And won't always be alive ...

I tend to agree with this. I've been gradually working up to seeing Rick as an insufferable douche. I actually got about midway through episode and gave up -- I moved full on into rooting for him to die. However, by the end I did start to see him in a different light. I began to see him as a soldier with PTSD after the war is over. Their war may or may not be over, but can he ever readjust to a society? At one point in the show there was debate amongst the characters over whether or not a person could "come back." It looks as if we are headed down that road again.

As for the episode itself, too much B-grade schlocky horror for me. The parts that advanced the story were well done though. Yes, the flare zombie was pretty kick-ass!

Just announced today, the season finale will be extended to 90 minutes

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

I never trust any comment on Twitter when they have an 'Egg' as their avatar. Its usually a fake account, or someone who just wants to troll social media.

Even Dane Cook said in his comedy act that he has 2 twitter accounts, his normal one, and then the one with an 'egg' where he can talk shit to people. :lol:

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

yeah, that tweet actually reeks of sarcasm too...

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Here are a lot more epic rants. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/02/...oversy-online/

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Not surprised. We will probably get 8 more minutes of the actual show, the rest commercials. The Walking Dead operners/finales almost get Super Bowl ad money for AMC.

Probably just an exclamation like "Oh my God" or some such.

This show has had the one lesbian character on it for at least a season now. She hasn't engaged in any sexuality activity of any proclivity, but it's pretty obvious that she's gay. In any case, given that show routinely has horrible forms of mutilation and violence that you probably couldn't have show in an R-rated movies in the 80s, but gay people, oh noes :rolleyes:.

I maintain my view that if something takes less than 160 characters to talk about, it probably isn't worth discussing ;).

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Shouldn't Judith be close to walking around by now?

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

I hope they don't rush to the next baddie in the series. I would be cool with a whole season of them exploring DC looking for remnants of the government.

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Fixed.

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

1) Yes, it is a folksy expression.

2) Only obvious if you saw that particular episode. Honestly, I had completely forgotten she was gay. I won't bash the writers as I usually do. To be fair, there is no reason for us to remember. It has had no relevance.

3) Agreed!

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

Just caught up on this. The usual Walking Dead. The real standout was the nighttime interrogation/drive, until they meet the other half of the group. That might have been the best zombie action yet.

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

I am happy that the gay couple were in the original comic as my initial reaction was another excellent series with a gay couple or scene crowbarred into the series due the amazingly large population of gay writers in television. If you came from another planet and watched American television, you woukd think gay men represent 30-40% of the male population. Its overrepresented now imho.

Re: The Walking Dead (S5E11) -- "The Distance" -- 2/22/15
 

30-40% of male characters on American televison are gay? What shows are you watching?!
