I really enjoyed this right up to the last 20 minutes or so. As soon as Spock shouted "Khaaaaaaaan!" and I'd stopped laughing I just started to get quite angry. Anyway I had various issues, far too many to actually list but an illistrutive example would be this one, which I actually thought in the theatre:

I was thinking that about Spock as well. Like maybe he should have said "Yeah guys, there's these folks called the Borg and they are BAD FUCKING NEWS so stay away from them OK? Also maybe you should start trying to source some humpback whales just saying. Why? Oh no reason JUST GET SOME FUCKING WHALES ALREADY."

Man that was brilliant! I'm not really sure what my expectations of this show were to begin with, probably pretty low, but I know I did not expect it to do something like this in it's first season. Best finale of the year for me for sure.

This is like a ray of glorious sunshine.

Thought the first episode was okay, good but not great, but I really enjoyed the second, so here's hoping that it continues to get better week by week because I like Marc Maron a lot and I really do want this to do well for him.

I'm going to add you two to my AV Club comments section shipping list.

I was listening to the Nerdist podcast the other day and I'm pretty sure they said to her NO MATTER WHAT DO NOT WALK THE FLOOR AT COMICCON WITHOUT A DISGUISE ON.

I guess it kind of works in that if the military went rogue and tried to blow up Bristol or something then the Commissar wouldn't really be on board. Quite a good idea actually, I give it a thumbs up.

I always assume those kind of things are Lovecraft references because, to my shame, I have barely read any Adams.

It made me think "Matt Smith is pretty good but he aint no Rutger Haeur"

I am called Erik Sund, which is basically like being called John Smith but everyone in the Scotland thinks I'm like sooooooo exotic.

I did not take the conversation at the start of the episode being Rick having changed his mind again, I thought that the conversation at the end of the treaty meeting episode was that Hershell couldn't pass up a chance of maybe saving his daughters when Rick asked him and that Rick wanted to make everyone scared

Apparantly he's danish but based on the scenery that makes NO SENSE. Also I didn't realise he was the Viking that I've always thought had the best name: Ragnar "Hairy Breeks"!

Yeah I'm assuming that they are in Norway because Sweden and certainly Denmark don't really have scenery like that. Also I'm pretty sure that the Vikings that raided Lindisfarne were norwegians, although this knowledge was gained about ten years ago when I visited the place so it may not be the most accurate. I should

The same.

The Norse word for Saturday literally translates as "Bath day" because this was the day of the week that they would bathe. Considering most people were living mud hovels in bathing a few times a year this definately made them incredibly clean by the standards of the time.

Also with the amount of shooting in the "Previously On" I immediately resigned myself to no actual shooting in the episode itself.

I thought this was a solid A. Just the right level of tension to build up for the last three episodes, an honest to god funny joke, all the bonding between the foot soldiers of both camps was spot on, Daryl's pissing contest with that other guy was great and the way Andrea saw it for what it was and was just like

His "At least buy me a drink first" is one of only two times the walking dead has made me actually laugh out loud.

I immediately though "HERSHELL AINT NO DALE".
