Has anyone noticed how "The Walking Dead" now has almost nothing to do with the actual walking dead?

You're right about robbing the Sasha moment of suspense. The whole episode seemed to be going somewhere when we realise the close ups of Sasha in the dark are from within the coffin and we know something BIG is about to happen. But then they pad it out with this interminable chat with Abraham. And then we get this bit…
Just watched it again last night. Pretty conventional stuff - but it has one of the creepiest opening sequences ever. The bit where we see the two main characters squabbling in the car while unaware that behind them the white camper van has turned off the road and that ominous black wagon appears on the horizon is one…
Now that I've had a bit more time to think about it, the sudden revelation of Eurus's vulnerability couldn't have been a last minute twist since the bit with the girl on the plane is one of the first things we see in the episode. The problem, as I have said, is that there is a fundamental flaw in the whole character…
Well – perhaps I’m being a little facetious. What happens is that Sherlock figures out that the girl on the plane is some kind of hallucinatory metaphor for Eurus’s loneliness. So he bursts through the false set-up (don’t even bother with the scene details – it’ll make your head spin) and finds her huddled on the…
My problem with this episode is that it has the glibbest plot twist I've ever seen. Evil genuis criminal mastermind with no redeeming features turns out to be merely misunderstood and just wants a hug. And after she gets the hug she is content to go back to her prison where her only pastime is playing occasional…
Even if the bit about Sherlock failing to notice there was no glass didn't ring true, it did lead to a great line: "Someone who can see through everything can sometimes fail to see that there's nothing to see through."
Did anyone else notice the (intended?) parallels with the "Ring" horror movie. Creepy girl/woman with long black hair often seen from the back in cell under surveillance, TV screens that keep losing their picture, and then someone stuck in a deep well under the moon?
Maybe so. But it's hardly a contender for "the best twist in history." The one about Sherlock in the boot was far better.
I think the C Smith line may have been meant to imply that only by becoming a serial killer can you definitely get the attention of the American media.
This episode had some great one liners. From what I remember:
"The single best twist in this episode was Mrs. Hudson getting out of that car. Maybe it’s my favorite Sherlock twist ever. Maybe it’s the best twist in history."
I checked rshellshell's past comments. He's a right-wing loon. No parody. Unless, of course, ALL those comments are meant as parody. In which case he might as well be a genuine right-wing loon anyway.
There's also a huge credibility gap with Negan. Ruling through terror isn’t a good idea. Scared people are dangerous people. The ones who cower before Negan hate him for it. And he really goes out of his way to constantly taunt them. And why is he so hard to kill? Rosita had the bullet for the whole duration of this…
I'm afraid that TWD seems to be operating on the assumption that most of its fans just want to see a reconstruction of the wild west only with X10 brutality. So I'm guessing that for as long as the show runs every season will center on an evil bastard who carves everybody up until some even more evil bastard comes and…
I'm also intrigued by this bit:
And yet here they all are.
Oh I see. Fair enough.
In what way was it necessary?
The fact that Mulder didn't know about the inverted St Peter cross is an important plot twist. We are initially led to believe that Father Gregory is the bad guy. He has some weird church with these inverted crosses and anyone who doesn't know about St Peter (i.e. most non-religious viewers) would assume that the…
