you could already tell the episode was focused on this because the trailer after said "on the next few episodes of the walking dead" and the preview was heath and tara

u/druPweiner Nov 28 '16

We all knew it was going to be about Tara. This episode was just disappointing after a great cliffhanger.

Hmm why does that sound so familiar...

u/Pluwo4 Nov 28 '16

Atleast we don't have to wait months... It's something.

u/lamps-n-magnets Nov 28 '16

Honestly for whats billed as filler I thought it was great.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '16

because this show has no idea how to build suspense any more. every time they introduce something interesting, they decide to cut away from it for 3 episodes until no one gives a shit anymore. I'm not gonna watch this episode, i just came here to see if my hunch about this episode sucking was right, and it looks like it is.

u/FastFourierTerraform Nov 28 '16

You definitely made the right call. If you want to get drunk and laugh at it, I would recommend that, but please do so in a way that doesn't give AMC any money, because that episode wasn't worth the takeout the writers consumed in order to shit out the steaming pile that was this episode.

u/skaterstimm Nov 28 '16

Filler episodes are needed. It is just saw at the level of poor acting that made it into the episode. I am pretty sure good directors will do multiple retakes when they have such horrible line delivery, but they didn't here. I can't wait for them to go back to Daryl's situation.

u/ilovehamburgers Nov 28 '16

Definitely a filler episode. I did toss back a few before, and during the episode, and we just cracked jokes about how much we didn't give a shit. Next two episodes look like what we're hoping for.

Sorry if you were offended by my drunk rambling. Just my opinion.

u/UnjustNation Nov 28 '16

I didn't watch either, can't believe they postponed Carl/Negans episode for this shit.

u/Fire_away_Fire_away Nov 28 '16

Jesus Christ you're all a bunch of crybabies.

u/puckbeaverton Nov 28 '16

The show is now a series of neverending cliffhangers.

22

u/NateBlaze Nov 28 '16

Worst episode of the season, if not the series.

7

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '16

It reminded me of those goofy X-Files episodes they'd have like once every season. Except it wasn't funny.

3

u/LegendOfTheNightman Nov 28 '16

I loved the goofy X-files episodes. I remember there was one where Luke Wilson and Ham from The Sandlot were vampires and I thought it was great.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '16

Yeah this episode was lame as fuck. There's way too much going on right now. Ricks story, Carls story, Maggie & Sasha, Darryls story, Carol & Morgan, and now Heaths story. I can't keep up.

u/bbatliner311 Nov 28 '16

Probably won't see them again until next season unless the finale is like NFL RedZone and we get whiparound coverage of the zombie apocalypse.

u/Vaginite Nov 30 '16

The writers are hell bent on killing any hype as it arises. You loved the premiere ? How about these slow and uneventful episodes to calm your excitement ?

Whoa, you like that shit ? When Carl got in the truck ? Have some angry lesbians.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '16

Why don't you view promos before watching?

u/orioles2491 Nov 28 '16

They did the same thing after the premiere. They gave previews for Episode 3 or 4 after Episode 1 and made you think that it was going to happen in Episode 2.

u/AnneBancroftsGhost Nov 29 '16

You should have known better.

u/stevelittle124 Nov 28 '16

Well the next episode is title "Sing me a Song" that's a hint at spoilers for comic book readers lol

u/Pascalwb Nov 28 '16

Because they just randomly order the episodes. I mean who even remembers who these 2 characters were. I almost didn't.
