Only takeaway I got from the Carol flashbacks was that she always went running towards the fire.
Hey now, she wiped her face in the last one.Only takeaway I got from the Carol flashbacks was that she always went running towards the fire.
LOST was the master of flashbacks and it gave depth to the characters. more importantly, made you care about them.
Columbus, ga isn't exactly a small town. But then, Benning has tanks now. Brb surviving for weeks in a jump tower off stuff I looted from the airborne shoppette.
Set your DVRs, fellas... Christian Serratos (aka Rosita) and Sonequa Martin-Green (aka Sasha) are going to be on The Talking Dead next week.
It completely depends on the guest panel...You know I've never actually watched that show. Hardwick looks annoying so I never bother to tune in. Is it good?

:thumbsup: - The writers and producers (Kirkman, Nicatero, Gimple, Hurd, Huth, etc.), most of the actors (Scott Wilson, Tyler James Williams, Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt, Lauren Cohan, etc.), some other stars (Conan O'Brian, Jim Gaffigan, Adam Savage, etc.)
:thumbsdown: - Most other stars (CM Punk, Yvette Nicole Brown, Matt L. Jones, Dave Navarro)
Chris Hardwick can be a good host most of the time, but sometimes he tries to hard to be "nerdy funny." He asks some pretty good questions though.
They have some recurring segments like "In memorium", where they pay homage to those who have fallen during the episode (both dead and alive) and behind the scenes, both are pretty good. But then they have stupid segments like a quiz and fan tweets that I couldn't give two sh*ts about.
No kidding!!! And so many shows do that now.Good lord do I fucking hate fan/viewer tweet segments on any show. Just awful. D:
Agreed. Loved that.
The flashbacks were very strange in this episode. I did not understand the point of some of them.
KT
Agreed.
The flashbacks showing how she got by on her own early in the episode were appreciated. The latter flashbacks, of smoke and burying, seemed very heavy handed and don't add anything to the character. A common writer's tip says never create story moments that are of no relevance, either to the character or plot. If it doesn't add or move the story along, skip it. Which is why we rarely get bathroom scenes.
Yeah...but without a single author to the storyline, it's pointless. I don't know if that makes sense, but it seems that an author in literature has a single voice and represents the beginning/end and everything in between.Ah, I wasn't even thinking to note symbolism.
This is why I like following discussions of shows. Symbolism was often used in Lost, and without further reading, it was still a fine show - but really understanding underlying symbolism and mythology really adds finer layers to good shows.

In these series, the episodes are almost always written 1 or 2 at a time with little thought to specifics of next season. They typically only look back in the storyline for continuity and creating symbolism from past events that weren't thought out. This is what bothered me most about Lost and other shows. They were simply milking the network and the viewers for all they were worth by following a simple formula by delivering diverse characters (connect with larger audience demographics) and using suspense and discovery to hook the audience (not giving everything away until the last possible moment).
It can be entertaining when you don't think about the actual value of what you're watching.
anecdotally my kids at age 5 just learned about zombies for the first time from a Scoobie Doo cartoon and they posited staying in a tree house with a rope cuz zombies cant climb ropes.
they gotta build an EWOK village near a lake with fish. SOLVED MFRS
My wife ensured the destruction of our kids be telling them the way to defeat zombies is to give them a kiss. WTF! I had to tell them all about headshots and how that is the only way. My 7 yearold my have gotten it. The 4 year old is doomed.
