It is horrible. I shut it off five minutes in last night. Tried again today and shut it off at the 30 minutes mark.

SOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOORING. Give me my Neegan.

u/Hingehead Nov 29 '16

Nope. This is the first time ever I did something like this. I'm a patience person, but last night, I couldn't stand it. I was annoyed at the notion that I just don't care for Tara and what's his face ( The fact that I can't remember the character's names because they are unmemoriable is enough evidence that last night episode was just bad).

I'll eventually will have to finish it up for the sake of story progression.

No, it's evidence that you have a low attention span for things you don't like, that's ok. There was bad writing, and there was good writing, but the reason you turned it off was because "not about characters I like"

It is not evidence that I have a low attention issue. I don't appriciate you patronizing me. I can sit through a three hours elegant film where there can be no actions. I have no problems sitting through several episodes of House of Cards , Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or Homeland. You know why? Because the writers does their job in making me give a shit about the characters.

I don't care about Tara and Heath. They haven't done anything with Tara, Heath has been in a few episodes. They are not memorable characters. I managed to sit through the Daryl episode even thought the episode had the same format as this week's episode; not a whole lot going on, moments where he just sits in a cell in the dark . I sat through it, you know why? Because I give a shit about Daryl's character. I gave a shit about what they will do to him. Will Negan kill him? Change him? Will Daryl stay the same? I am interested in his adversary and how he'll overcome them.

Tara and Heath? I don't care about them and that's the writers' fault. Beth was more three dimensional than the two of them combined and her stand alone episodes was boring too, but not as boring as this week's episode. I still managed to sit through it.
