Hurrhurrhurr. You're mistaken, you're referring to the NZ version of TWD. In the Australian version replace sheep with racist alcoholic.

That sounds more like Z nation, a far superior show.

Gotta agree with everyone when they said this weeks episode sucked. Tara is so fat that I almost didn't recognize her at first. This far into the show, you'd think there would be no fat people left in the zombie apocalypse. I think that the actress that plays her was recently pregnant but why not wait to film her parts till she loses the weight? I hardly even noticed she was gone with all the shit that's been going on this season.

Yes, she gained the weight due to pregnancy, but she had the baby like 8 months ago. She should have tried to hurry up and lose the baby fat sooner, because as it stands it just looks like she somehow got out of shape in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.

I know its a show about zombies...so I do take that into consideration. But...this is the apocalypse, and years into it. There wouldn't be a fat human being on the planet at that point...or, at least a fat person would be far past rare.
BTW...what was Sunday's episode? Episode 6?
Pretty much fits the pattern: Episode 1 great, 2 pretty good. 3-6 are shit, 7 is ok, 8 is great. Rinse, repeat.

Her being overweight isn't that big of a deal for me. Some actors and actresses have, as I've said, mastered a knack for physical acting.
But Alana Masterson is clearly not suited for an action role. If you watch those scenes where she's running through the forest or along the tops of cars, it's like she's about to fall over. Yakety Sax may as well be the music bed for those scenes.

I admit that the Tara episode was pretty slow. Especially for a character that they are either trying to play up for her big fall *Spoilers*( Like Denise and Abraham) or just trying to give her more spot light time since she has been with the group since the prison.
I read the comics almost every month ( I am two behind now) and love the parallels between the comics that is shown from time to time.
Although I can't decide which Negan I hate the most? The Comic version of Negan is just as horrible as Jeffery Dean Morgan's portrayal of him.

Many happy returns!
Other than the first two episodes this season has so far been pretty shitty IMO. I don't like how they are showing a different bunch of characters every episode - this doesn't really progress the story onwards and one forgets who is where doing what. Also the best characters have been getting very little screentime and Negan is more annoying than scary. Kind of loosing interest TBH.

I've been watching clips of Negan as he is an interesting character to me. I'll say this; he seems to be pretty true to comic form. In the comic he's a annoying, ruthless douche that thinks he a comedian. Constantly cracking shitty jokes...or...holding an iron to your face. The live Negan is pretty much the same, which is an annoying douche.

No doubt. I loved the part in the last episode where he says "Damn, I am not gonna have time to screw any of my wives today... I mean, maybe one..."

I dunno anything about the comics and who Negan is there, but they're really losing me with this stuff. People criticised the 6th episode but I didn't mind it so much, but that last episode was genuinely boring. How you can roast a mans face, with cooked peelings sticking to the iron as you pull it away, and still make it dull is beyond me.
And Darren's tard shuffle is getting on my nerves too.

What are your thoughts on the mid season finale? I think it was ok, but nothing special. Finally they decided to switch between characters / locations, which IMO they should have done all along, instead of making episodes dedicated to just a bunch of characters / one location with plenty of time wasting in between. Negan popped two Alexandrians, but since these were the characters no one really gives a f about there wasn't much of a shock factor to it. And for a midseason finale the ending kind of lacked the hook one would expect to make you want to tune into the 2nd half of the season. Pretty average really, but taking into consideration how low the bar has been set by the other episodes this season I guess it was still one of the better episodes.

The mid season finale was exactly what I expected it to be-Rick deciding to fight back and a triumphant 'return to form' for the group.
I am so done with Carol. Just kill her already. Shes just become annoying and I want Negan to drive a steamroller over her.
I could also do without Sasha. Seems like a completely pointless and superfluous character now.
So many of these characters need to die so that the episodes stop feeling like filler.
This is all the show needs:
Rick
Carl
Michonne
Maggie
Dwight (YES, Dwight the burned dude)
Negan
The priest character is starting to be kinda cool again, too. I guess we can keep him. Don't remember his name though.
All the rest are what I call 'bridge crew'. They're not quite red shirts, but beyond serving a function in a specific episode, there is no reason to tell stories with these characters. I see Rosita (hot as she is) and to me, she is no more important than the person keeping inventry of the food or the town doctor or whatever.
In Star Trek, I'd say I like Sulu and Chekov in their roles but I really don't need to see episodes about them. It's a waste of time that could be better used t enhance the stories of the more important characters like Kirk, Spock and McCoy. That's why I call those other characters 'bridge crew'. Rick needs a thing done, theres Rosita or some of the others. But after that, get off the screen and leave the drama to the characters that matter.
Darryl's in this sort of 'limbo' for me. I like the character just fine, but it's painfully obvious that the writers do not have any idea what to do with him. He's a wildcard that changes nothing on the show anymore. Sure it was an opportunity to show what life is like at the Saviors' base, but the episode with Carl did the exact same thing and was vastly more effective because Carl is an essential part of the show. It's just so clear to me that Darryl is being clumsily tacked on to the blueprint. Either find things for him to do like they did earlier in the series or just kill him, already.

the negan arc sucks as much shit as it did in the comics, but the guy who plays him is pretty good.

Did you enjoy Glenn's demise episode? Probably one of the most intense episodes of any TV I've seen in a long time. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is indeed a great actor. He's equally great as The Comedian in The Watchmen.
The current season is trash. The show needs to end.

Abraham & Glenn death was soooo good and emotional...Went to shit after that...Fear the Walking Dead last season was pretty damn good, characters are still annoying though.

That was probably the last good part of it. I read the comics and knew Glenn would die, I didn't know about Abraham though (in the comics, he gets the arrow through the eye from Dwight, not the fat nurse), which sucks because I liked that character.
After the stupid shit with the LARPers from the kingdom started AND the people speaking like retards from the junkyard (which don't appear in the comics and neither does Oceanside) I kinda gave up on it. Also who gives a shit about Sasha?
Negan is probably the reason why people are still watching it.
I love how gory everything is but the word "shit" is the hardest swear you hear. lol mercans.
Fear the Walking Dead is a shit show with only unlikeable characters except that black guy, whatever his name was.
