I would enjoy it more if the character didn't give a little speech explaining that she is going to be funny. But that is how TWD rolls.

But I have this horrible fear that's exactly what is going to happen. All those references to a coup among the cops plus that guy escaping has me afraid we are staying at the hospital for a long time. I really hope that isn't going to be the case.

Defenders keep confusing criticism of how the show does things for criticism of what it does.

I think the show is setting up a conflict between a view of humanity as All Good (the taken were "heroes") or All Bad. Its point will be that both views are delusional, fanatical. Because humanity is actually In Between. Because this isn't a profound or original idea there are a lot of things that seem like symbols…

The show seems to posit that there is only one kind of faith — the "left behind" fundamentalism that it is trolling (as a previous commenter pointed out).

She is right, but she doesn't seem to have the background in either literature or pop culture to articulate what's wrong with the show. This makes her reviews equally frustrating for those of us who don't think it's a good show.

Color symbolism seems so awesome but almost always indicates a show that is going nowhere.

Because darker traits are usually dominant?

I agree with you but I think it's because Louie the character still has narcissism issues that Pamela will be good for, if she can work on not being mean. Which she seems willing to do.

The meteor shower scene was truly romantic. I think that ep deserved an A for pulling that off.

I can see what the character of Amantha is meant to represent but I don't think the actress pulls it off. All of her facial expressions and body language are stereotypical tv moves. She makes me think of Courtney Cox or Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yes, she's beautiful and hot but I get tired of her tv anger and frustration.

In season one Ted kept telling people that things are black and white, that "it's either yes or no." Before Daniel attacked him he said that you either defend yourself or "relax and enjoy" being raped. Daniel said "It's more complicated than that." What he did to Ted was to show him that yes, it's complicated. You can…

Up to no good, obvs.

I thought it implied more that the guy who killed himself, at least, had no clue what had happened. Trey seemed to have more of an idea but I didn't get the impression he knew who the killer was. I was thinking they had probably Daniel high on those mushrooms and were up to good in general that night.

We don't. His trying to hide the other guy's body is very suspicious though.

Yeah, I was thinking when the sheriff's cop buddy told him he might as well leave town if he was going to pursue the case that cops wouldn't talk so openly and at such length about the big picture like that. And the way Foulkes leans on desks and intimidates people is just too courtroom drama-ish for this show.

Yes, it's a reference. It's flipped because Daniel is being sentenced not to death but to life outside the prison.

I think Bran did what he had to do, but it will have repercussions.

Arya doesn't know he's dead any more than we do; she wasn't there and didn't see a body. My theory is that he will show up at some point and this will go some way toward turning her back from the path toward psycho killer she is currently on.

Also this isn't the first time he's been brought up pretty gratuitously since he "died."
