The only way I can get through this show is with a Gangs of London chaser.

Poor Chris Hardwick - how does he make it through these Talking Dead post shows with a straight face? He must be screaming inside. At this point, Fear works only as a hate-watch drinking game and frankly, I’m ok with that. 🤣

Yeah I do not envy Mr. Hardwick.

53. Spray painting while the world is ending...that showed them.

Yes, we needed more spray painting!

"This is not the..." because you knew the guy would immediately wander off. And we were stuck, looking at his rear END, as he shambled.

And it’s always a good idea to observe a nearby nuclear blast through a plate glass window. A blast that apparently overturned cars on the street below but magically did not shatter the glass

Clearly!

Never stop writing about this show until it finally ends. Only thing keeping me sane! What an awful season, only better than season 5 due to how wretched that was from start to finish.

Haha no worries, I'm in it till the bitter end!

So with a broken leg tied up in a rudimentary splint, Zombie Rachel managed to walk i guess at least a couple of kilometres on it while carrying a baby on her back without the leg shattering or giving way in all that time, which would and should have left her scrabbling around on the floor like any other injured, immobile zombie would?

OK...

Oh yeah, great point. Lmao this show truly knows no bounds

Expand full comment

Yeah, that splint wouldn't have held up to zombie shambling...because zombies don't care. Besides, she would have bled out faster than the self-stabby.

How did Teddy and his 1st mate get separated? How did Teddy find Sioux? How did June and Dorie find Teddy? They were in the sub waiting for Morgan. What about EMPs? That chopper would be in a tail spin...once the nuke detonated. Oh one more....they have a blow torch to fix vehicles.

...how did Dorie Sr know to tap the ground in THAT exact magic spot. Did he really know this was Teddy's plan? And what was Teddy's plan, to watch the detonation and THEN suggest to Dakota about the bunker? He had been chatting and feeling her up for a while before Dorie & June arrived. When was he going to mention it? And was he going to frame it as, "What a perfect view...oh, wait! Jinkies, what's this? A metal lid of some sort? Whaaaaah?!"

52. A 5 seat helicopter flies 7 people to safety! What happened to Charlie and Sarah? We never see them board the helicopter. Did they just leave them there? Hand-held radios that talk hundreds of miles when all the repeater towers are out. Lol. You have to suspend realty to watch this show!

God I hope they left them behind!

I would have thought that you would right off all realty after a nuclear holocaust not just suspend it.

Fantastic use of The Cripple in 51.

Glad to have a fellow Abercrombie fan aboard!

Amazing how your thought match mine, lol.

I don't know what's more infuriating-- the unbelievably stupid and lazy bad plotting or the fact they think we're SO stupid we won't notice the unbelievably stupid and lazy bad plotting.

Then they have the nerve to appear on Talking Dead. I've never wanted to throw a hammer through the screen of my TV more than that.

This show is now INFURIATING me on every episode.

And yet, like passing a car wreck, I can't stop watching and hoping for more.

This show isn't high art. There's a lot of potential, just as on the main series (is anyone watching the other spinoff with the annoying kids?), but this element of perfect timing and coincidence is so undeniable, that I'd think the writers were using it to confirm the existence of God. Otherwise, the "if you keep trying and never give up..." or "if you believe hard enough and crow...", then things will eventually work out--it loses its grounding in the real (imagined) situation. Instead, it becomes "The Stand"...with an "M-O-O-N spells moon!" in every episode, as if they're being profound.

Who were the dead people camping on the floor below new guy Howard? Did he kill them? We’re they too polite to take over his swanky apartment? Just more stupid nonsensical crap

Expand full comment

If the place was filled with the zombies he let in, and the building was surrounded, how/when did he haul all that art into the building? I understand letting the dead in for security, but he never thought to barricade the doors? Why not clear the campers...and his place was clean...did he do the windows? How'd he clean the outside?

Thank you so much for doing these. Read it as I watched the episode. Made it way more interesting! 😂

I may have to keep doing them then! Thanks!

Expand full comment

Yeah, seriously. Helps me know there's not something wrong with me that I get so angry during this show, lol.

Don't let people try to change you into someone you're not. You don't have to pretend, Sioux (FYI, that's what he calls her, because she's Dakota--get it? Not Sue, I know because of captioning). Ha!

This 51 thoughts are freaking hilarious……I’ve been addicted to your reviews because you keep it so real and are very entertaining. I ready every review after every episode lol

If Rachel made the splint knowing she would be one of the walking dead it only served as mechanical support and bleeding out wasn't an issue. Begs the question as to why she was clever enough to work that out but couldn't change a wheel without the truck crushing her.

PS - The Walking Dead ain't much better IMO. Both of these shows started out fantasticly! And I do still love the (dunno the technical term) 'grittiness' look on film - they both do still have an excellent screen appearance, and vibe of the end of the world....small miracles I guess.

But BOTH, EVERY FREAKIN season - "Oh no, another settlement we thought was good, but they're worse than the zombies..."

Tune in next week when: "Oh no, another settlement we thought was good, but they're worse than the zombies..."

And stay tuned for the season finale when: "Oh no, another settlement we thought was good, but they're worse than the zombies..."

Hahahahahahahahah - this is brilliant!!! SOOOOOO glad I'm not the only person whose most commonly uttered phrase in front of the TV while watching this (or should I say, unable to turn away from the train-wreck), is "FAAA FAAAAARK'S SAAAAAKE"....!!!!!!!!
