I'm 14 episodes into season 4 and it's not as good as season 3 imo as it can be a bit slow paced for my tastes, and it is taking too much pleasure in pointless gore and this is speaking as someone that's a fan of both the Saw and the Hostel Films.

However episode 14 was really strong imo and played on Lizzie who imo has had one of the most fascinating storylines in the show so far, and actually showed that the show can do a slow paced episode that still pushes the plot forward.

The one thing that I do wish that the show would stop doing is being so trigger happy, don't get me wrong I don't want the show being too safe either, but I do want the show to have a cast that I'm gonna recognise away from Rick and Carl by the end of the show's run.

4x14 is one of the most hated episodes amongst fans so if you've enjoyed that I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest

Not bad for a hated episode.

But yeah I've watched upto Episode 5 of season 6 and it feels like it's ran out of ideas, Rick has gone irritating again, he has Lori 2.0 as a Romance, he is now OTT arrogant and the show never mentions the fact that he is very arrogant which is horrific writing imo. Michonne and Maggie are practically cardboard cutouts at this point which is ashame as Michonne was great in season 3, and Maggie is a likeable character that just doesn't do anything.

Daryl for the most popular character on TWD amongst the fandom Is not getting the screentime that I expected him to have.

Also the show is too trigger happy, they killed Beth off for no reason and her character was also starting to finally develop now that she had her own storyline going on, but instead of helping continue Beth's growth the writers think that it's okay just to kill her, and all for a character that dies just a few episodes later in season 5.

But going back to season 6 the Alexandrians (with the exception of Aaron) are all deeply irritating, boring, and completely unrealistic, they're perfectly okay for all those months or years (I don't know how much time is meant to have gone by in the show) and yet as soon as Rick's group shows up they start having these weird guys show up with the W mark on their heads, then the Walkers are constantly breaking into the town killing alot of their people just to make Saint Rick be "in the right" which is really boring to watch the same character get things that they want too easily. Then they've got Carl being obsessed with this girl who he doesn't know from Adam, and now a love triangle also seems to be emerging from it, oh the joy!

Yeah Neegan needs to show up and basically give these characters and the show a kick up the backside, even if he does kill off one of the actual bearable characters in season 7.

Not read through this thread as don’t want spoilers but watched series 1 the first 4 eps so far I’m really enjoying it but there is so much to catch up on I have no idea where to find the time to do it

So far my top 10 episodes for the show are as followed.

1. The Grove (season 4 episode 14)
2. Killer Within (season 3 episode 4)
3. No Sanctuary (season 5 episode 1)
4. Made To Suffer (season 3 episode 8)
5. Seed (season 3 episode 1)
6. Four Walls And A Roof (season 5 episode 3)
7. Sick (season 3 episode 2)
8. When The Dead Come Knocking (season 3 episode 7)
9. Too Far Gone (season 4 episode 8)
10. Slabtown (season 5 episode 4) I know that this episode seems to be controversial though.

My 10 worst of the show are as followed.

1. First Time Again (season 6 episode 1)
2. Tell It To The Frogs (season 1 episode 3)
3. Now (season 6 episode 5)
4. What Happened And What's Going On (season 5 episode 9)
5. Secrets (season 2 episode 6)
6. Wildfire (season 1 episode 5)
7. Vatos (season 1 episode 4)
8. Spend (season 5 episode 14)
9. TS-19 (season 1 episode 6)
10. Thank You (season 6 episode 3)

I know that not everyone will agree with my opinions as I seem to like different aspects to the show compared to some of the fandom (especially the fact that I think that season 1 is a pile of turd) but it would be a boring world if we all thought the same.

Anyway as a side topic on the thread, what is your top 10 and worst 10 episodes of The Walking Dead? I've not watched most of season 6 yet so if there's any great or bad episodes coming up I couldn't put them on my lists.

I'm glad that you're enjoying season 1.

And yes it's best to avoid some of the stuff discussed in this thread.
