But the producers have admitted the random time jumps between night/day are due to how much time it takes to film and gets all the make up done And filming in neighborhoods with people living in them and the constraints the city puts on them etc.. so they just roll with the wierd time doffrences between scenes. Its lazy and cheap but thats whyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585323794423400780.post-63328626379130352712016-03-07T22:48:13.464-05:002016-03-07T22:48:13.464-05:00Huh.

It's sad that half the time I'm simply thrilled for a few minutes that I've forgotten I'm watching TWD. But despite the missteps, it wasn't typically dull, nor typically nonsensical and best of all they even maintained a decent continuity for character actions (except the part where they all became fearsome for some reason but hey brownie points for not shying from action).<br /><br />While Glenn's monologue was a bit heavy-handed, it was serviceable -- nothing like their usual. That's what I appreciated most. They kept their sermons to a minimum. People did stuff. Thangs. They might have come up with a half-baked plot to ambush the Saviors, but that's about 50% more baked than a usual TWD plot.<br /><br />Usually, some character just draws the short straw and spazzes out in a crucial moment, or someone begins acting melodramatically different to their character one episode before. I personally even liked that they're willing to compare Carol 4 to Carol 1. Must be they're hoping to bust out the Carol 4S pretty soon.<br /><br />I mean, the episode even looked different, more interesting. Or was that just me?<br /><br />If they stick with this, it can only get better, right? Right?<br /><br />And so the cycle of abuse continues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585323794423400780.post-2868890642788849712016-03-07T03:57:05.838-05:002016-03-07T03:57:05.838-05:00Suddey,Rick's group have refound their ninja l... Suddey,Rick's group have refound their ninja like abilities- in the harshest of settings, yet they struggle to walk through the woods without having zombies creep up on them- a scenario that's occurred repeatedly this year.<br /><br />Fascinating stuff.<br /><br />Not only are the shows characters personalities interchangeable, depending on narrative need, their skill sets are also prone to wild swings, one minute they are Hugh grant bumbling around trying to climb a fence in the romcom Notting hill , the next, Arnold Schwarzenegger taking out an entire island of mercs in Commando...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
