I'm watching this show out of habit at this point. It's the new Dexter for me.

[Stickman]

Since Negan will only be seen in the last ep of the season, I"m betting he offs one of the long timers to end out Season 6.

[Kaius]

I hope you're right, Stickman.

And her kids and the hot new doctor. And supposedly the dead mayor's son and maybe some of those other nameless ones are out there.

That doctor's good as dead, and she's not hot. Those other characters have hardly been developed and don't count. Also, kids don't count.

Too many kids. And stupid ones at that. Ron, his pussy brother, judith, maggies baby on the way, that whiny girl with glenn, so dumb. Kids wouldn't survive this shit.

[Kaius]

Judith is such a pl*t hole.

The doctor will live and she's bangin'.

Agreed.

She's a horrible actress.

[Kaius]

Yeah. They managed to find a love interest for the lesbian that is just as bad at acting. It's amazing.

[nyquillyn]

Also, Morgan is the fucking worst. The first time he launched into his "we have to remember our humanity" bullshit, I would have gutted him.

[Kaius]

He's too soft about it. Fine. Don't kill. Just be less of a pussy about it.

Not reading anything in this thread, just stopped by to say that I bought S01 of this the other day and have so far watched eps 1 - 4. It's a'ight.

No idea if this has been answered previously, and it probably has, but I do wonder how main actor policeman dude wasn't eaten in the hospital in the first place.

I've never understood the love for Morgan. James is an interesting actor, but the character sucks.

Sooner or later, someone has to meet lucille.

I loved season 1 from the get-go, but you're right they don't quite explain right away why he doesn't get eaten. I don't remember when, but eventually they show a Shane back-story (that's his fellow cop buddy), and you get an idea why Rick stays safe in his hospital room.

I still look forward to this show more than any other. An episode is never all bad, but pacing (over an episode, over a season) has been a problem for this show since the beginning. It may be the show's only serious problem.

You nailed it. Most great shows these days (i.e. GOT) use a season-long built-up approach and totally crush the audience in the last 2-3 eps. TWD has become a 1-up 1-down formula which leaves you scratching your head with inconsistency.

IMDB ratings of GOT showing season build-ups:

IMDB ratings for TWD still have very high mean scores, but extremely erratic and if you select the "Series Trendline" it's very flat:
