AMC's The Walking Dead

She was excellent -- and looked even more gorgeous -- on Talking Dead.

 

She came off as REALLY weird during the talk show. Over-talking, trying to be funny (and failing...uh, Capt. Hook didn't have an eye-patch, hence the name...HOOK!) and interrupting Jim Gaffigan at times.
I'll chalk it up to nerves and happy she is a part of the cast (my guess is she doesn't die for a while since she seem SUPER pumped to be there).

I felt the show was slow, but for good reason, they had to get a lot of people shown.

Lizzie is insane, but I would want her on my side in the coming zombie overthrow of the world... that is all.

 

She did seem nervous on Talking Dead, but it's been that way for a lot of the actors who are on the show for the first time.

As far as Lizzie, holy cow is she twisted. The whole thing with the bunnies was a nice touch, with them panning to the log as Darryl and Beth were walking past it. I'd be willing to bet she was behind the rats, too -- and I know that's not a novel idea or anything.

 

Did you notice what she nearly did to the baby? You want that on your side?!

 

I said she was insane, but baby's are weak and not good to be out in the open. But yeah, she's nuts...like Carol. They want to stay alive.

 

May have said this before, but I think Lizzie killed those two folks and Carol took the blame to cover for her. That girl is all kinds of psycho.

 

So who dragged them outside to burn them?

 

The actress who plays Tara is very good looking, but she did not come across well on that talk show.

 

Carol did after she found out Lizzie had killed them.

 

Other examples:
- Leaving the baby with the bloodthirsty girl and the gun with the girl who has no idea how to shoot.
- Glenn running head first into that horde because he had body armor. No way he survives that.
- Glenn putting the girl (don't know her name because I don't give a damn about her character) in front during the escape even though he was wearing body armor and seems capable of just mowing zombies down Herschel Walker style. Maybe you should be the blocker, Glenn.
- D'Angelo Barksdale and the other girl (don't know their names because I don't give a damn about their characters) thinking they could let the zombies out of the bus one by one. Who didn't see that rush happening?
- Cutty and Carol leaving the guy by the train tracks without finishing him off. One more zombie for other people (their friends, no less) to contend with.

This may be my biggest complaint about the show. For as long as these people have lived in this world, they are still making the same mistakes they would in the first month of it. With as much talk about character development as there has been, where is the development of their survival instincts? Most have learned how to perform a flawless headshot outside of 20 yards, but very few seems to have figured out what seems like basic stuff. This makes me hate many of the characters for being so stupid.

(Before you ask why I'm still watching, let me answer. Two reasons: Because Breaking Bad is gone and I've already finished House of Cards, I don't have much else to watch, and I've watched from the beginning and have a compulsion to see how things end, even when they drive me nuts.)

That being said, Maggie looked hot all pissed off and stuff.

 

To alleviate some of your Walking Dead frustration, I recommend checking out Ture Detective if you can. Possibly the best thing on TV right now.

 

One of the biggest things to bug me about the show is that they have to drive for a half day to go somewhere to look for supplies, then a show or two later they're within walking distance of a whole fricking upscale neighborhood that they didn't know about. And didn't they leave in different directions? (I don't remember, seems like everyone just ran out whichever way was clear). So how do they all seem to end up at the same spot on some railroad tracks (again, where were these before?)

Yes, they should have had a plan (thus, the bus). What happened with the bus? Did someone get on who was bitten, turned and then bit everyone else and they couldn't get the doors open? Did the driver stop to let some walkers on? (Well, they kept ringing the bell!) And who were these people? If anyone recognized any one of those folks who poured out of the bus, supposedly from the prison and "good people" according to Alcoholic Bob, please name some names.

Basically, all the main cast survived -- even Judith! in, gee, the biggest non-surprise surprise since Sophia stumbled out of Herschel's barn -- and the "red shirt" extras all died.

I do like the show and continue to watch. But, I think it could be much better -- that's the frustrating part -- if the writers paid a little more attention to details. And, I wish hat-wearing Carl would get his leg bitten off. How does he escape the clutches of all these walkers who grab hold of him? (at least twice, maybe three times that's happened?) Everyone else, walkers seem to just lumber up and bite them.
