Agreed. It’s utter nonsense. There was never the least hint of anything between them because TWD writers can’t pull that off. Heck, if we didn’t know they were married, nothing Glenn and Maggie have done since the tower quickie in season 3 would even pass as physically affectionate.

“Very safe for white people watching to see a black woman be admirable strong, caretaking, sassy, but never fully a woman.”

“(it’s like when Kirk and Spock beamed down to the planet together; you don’t send your leader and your best man out at the same time)“

Agreed, and this bad stretch right now is the longest bad stretch of its longish run, to the point where it seems like something has gone terminally wrong behind the scenes. The camera work is utterly stale. The choreography is nearly always weak to blundering. The dialogue has us laughing in most cases just as it…

Problem is, from now on an overmatched child actor has to emote *WITH ONLY ONE EYE.*

“The Carl eye shot is true to the comics,...”

You mean, like “crying kid” and “pussy guy,” the names of at least two of the *male* characters he also forgot?

MUUHHHHHHSSSSOOOOOOOGGYYYKNEEEE!!!!

You find “black chick” problematic?

I had blocked our Rick’s Horrrrible Epiphany. He really did have one of those, didn’t he? “I’ve reahhhlahhhlzed, it weahhhhllll juhhhhst worrrrk tuhhhgethhherrrr, we can mahhhhhke ihhhht.”

No, Zach’s whining is so relentless that it has become legendary.

Are you insane? Someone showed up, wasn’t talking to you, has a different opinion than you do, and you’re acting like an imbecile.

They also coulda shoulda combined Deanna’s and Jessie’s characters, rather than going the easy road by making Jessie’s husband a caricature of the least common form of domestic violence.

Both were interesting. Flawed, awful in ways, but interesting.

The whole season around whatshisname has been a real drag. Pity, really.

Yeah, I mean no one reasonable would think “awkwardly executed” didn’t just mean ‘business as usual.’

It’s because for whatever reason they aren’t hiring directors who can film this kind of action the way most shows do. Or Gimpel just doesn’t see the need. Damn, but that guy is in over his head.

ALL their action scenes these days are “oddly [badly] crafted.”

Agreed. The gore does very little for me. It should be like a condiment to story and character. Instead, it’s the main course. It’s like eating a plateful of salt, too often.

Right? And it should be so easy—Rick talks with preacher dolt about taking Judith. All of a sudden a bunch of walkers are heading their way and Rick shoos preacher dolt, now with Judith to the church, but there’s not enough time to figure out anything else so he grabs Jessie, Carl, her kids, and off they go to doom.
