If its anything like fking LOST. I wasted over a 100 hours on that, was hooked the first series, series two less, series three this is st, by the end it was just a case of get to the fking point. I have never felt so angry at an ending in all my life. I wish physically harm on the writers.
Lost was terrible I gave up about 3/4 way through season 2 I think, though strangely I kind of want to watch the whole thing...however, I know it'll just drive me mad!

Currently though, I am still enjoying The Walking Dead, even the really slow burner episodes.

Lost was way better than this - it had a poor ending but at least it did something to change the story....

The writing of TWD is very poor, and relies on people acting in the most stupid way possible.

Character has a high powered sniper rifle
Character hides in tower and waits for chance to take out baddie
Character waits a couple of hours, sees him once but can't take the shot
Character decides to give up waiting again and do what? Storm a heavily armed compound of numerous baddies with a sniper rifle? Not exactly the best choice of weapon for assaulting a compound...


The other bit I remember from last night was hot-wiring a car with the doors open while the zombies are coming... Why was the door open? To try and make the scene more exciting..

I'm currently re-watching lost, on season 3 now. It's actually better than I remember and better if you watch it all quickly. Over the course of years it lost its edge.

Saying that I am only halfway though the show in total so it can all still go wrong.

yup the binge worked for me, I started it housebound for a week with concussion, but as the series got on it just got st and you could tell they couldnt put it all back together again.

I wonder if we will ever get answers to the outbreak or if these are deemed not important. Because Fear the walking dead was meant to show that but all it did was show the start, no answers.

It'd be nice get over this and for them to start moving on out in a hope to re-start society. Maybe meet a few camps with an answer.

...and they start the car with a two/three year old battery and drive off with the steering lock still engaged.

I commented on this on Tuesday, not the battery but the door scene. How fking stupid it was, I did think about the battery but who's to say that it doesnt have a solar panel trickle charger in the fag lighter. laugh

They left the tower because they heard on the radio that Saviors were coming to search the tower looking for walkers.

Hot-wiring a car with the doors closed while the zombies are coming is noob 101 in the Zombie Survival Handbook. What's going to happen if the car won't start? You're going to be trapped in it, surrounded by an ever increasing amount of Zombies. Fail.

If however you leave the door open, you know you have a chance to bail if the car won't start and before the Zombies trap you.

You'd think that by now they would have invented a noise bomb type device. Maybe a wire ball type thing with some clockwork driving bells or making banging noises and maybe a bit of meat inside to keep the zombies busy.

I dont understand why there are still so many zombies. Surely they would have decomposed by now seeing as its 5 years later

I think they're going to have to ignore the comics and go off in a very different direction.

As far as I can see if they don't we'll be stuck with years of more or less the same repetitive bks.

I never did watch the last season of Lost. It got so incredibly stupid I lost interest. Right from the start it was obvious there was something you'd never find out, that was not going to be sensibly explainable.

But it was good for the first few seasons.

God it's like pulling teeth.
You may as well just watch the first & last episodes from a season. You'd miss very little tbh.

Series 54, episode 18, the Finale.

(Impression given of a past event, life looks normal. People going about their daily life).

There is a loud crash outside a hospital, a van is hit by a car. It's contents are scattered across the road. A small now open box with the label "Extremely dangerous, keep quarantined" is visible on it. A mosquito is seen flying away towards the hospital and in through a window, biting the arm of a patient who wakes up with a start and slaps his arm, killing the mosquito. It is Rick. He suddenly starts shaking and convulsing, he dies, the machine he is hooked up to gives out an alarm. Nurse and Dr rush in, can't revive him they call a time of death. As they turn away he sits up, eyes glazed over and attacks them. Rick is infected number 1 and starts the whole chain of events.

What we have all seen previously was just a dream, reality is much worse.
awesome, except for the bit we already saw of Rick and other cops getting into a roadside ding-dong with an early infected person, that's why he's in hospital in the first place

Maybe that was a one off, which would be the stimulus to give him such a detailed, 6 series long dream.

Bit like Wizard of Oz. hehe

He was shot by the assailant. I don't remember any infected.

only 2 years have passed, though I have no idea how quickly bodies would decompose when infected with whatever virus it is.
potentially some cellular regeneration continues?

I still can't get over how a rotting dead body has enough muscle power and tooth strength to bite through clothes.
