When Rick drove alongside the Hummer in his jeep and was preparing to jump over.............seemed like an eternity of both vehicles driving dead straight, same speed and the same distance apart. rolleyes

Compare this series to previous tense scenes in TWD. Carol "Just look at the flowers", The start of a series I can't remember when they're in the cannibals slaughter house and throats are being slit, even recently when Negan kills Abraham and Glen.

But this is far far far away from that.....utter pish. I just want this season to end now, get a getter a bigger budget for next year and get rid of the current writers and somehow get it back to where it was before.

Plus points, Carol killing scene.

Bad points....

A man can split a body in two with his axe or sword or whatever, built like a fking tank, yet cannot smash open a simple padlock that many scrotes would have done in 30 seconds. Carol cannot shoot this padlock for some reason, she has to fk about with keys.

Why did Carol not shoot through the hole in the crates she could see them from.

As others have mentioned, the good then bad shoot moments.

Varying speeds of walkers, slow one second, fast the next to add suspense.

The tiger was the only member of the cast I now routed for. bds.

The "leave me behind I am not your King".....Walkers closing in, no time to spare, prepare for a minute long speech, still no walkers on me, maybe I had more time than I thought.

The chase, wow that was horrendous. To dodge built fire like that, wow.

Daryl crashes, then reappears, i've low sided my share of bikes, ones with and without crash protection. 9/10 your sat at the side of the road waiting on the recovery truck as its un rideable, but I can let this go.

Unfortunately I have had to turn off halfway through the latest episode, can’t stand the drivel any longer.

In the last episode or so they have fired off about half a million rounds, relentlessly, continuously, tediously, like the writers just cannot think of anything else to fill the time with. I keep on watching, just hoping for something to happen, but enough is enough.

Zombies are hardly realistic in themselves, but the whole show has long since turned into a joke.

The last few episodes should have been condensed down into two. A fair bit of action but it's the same episode being shown four different ways. Let's hope it improves

Yep, a fking Tiger would've ripped through them like they were nothing.

That was amongst other unbelievable rubbish. Will still watch it, for now at least, but it was the first episode I didn't stop everything to watch.

So much this, frankly if a Red Shirt can just shove away a Walker to help the King escape, then a Tiger isn't going to be troubled, even by a couple of them - a single swipe with one of their paws can crush a Cows skull killing it instantly. Even a Female (about half the size of a full grown male, but still!) is still a 150Kgs of muscle, claws and teeth that can sprint at 40mpg and jump 10m.

But, nah, she'll just lay there waiting to be eaten by a bunch slow walkers.

Not to mention, where did the Humvee drivers find an M2 Browning cambered for .22?

Tiger skin is tougher than human skin so god knows how these rotting mouths could eat a tiger anyway.

yes

Quarter of a ton of heavily muscled death machine vs some animated corpses - it could rip them apart with claws alone, or just leap out of the melee.

A jaguar would be the ideal big cat for TWD, though. This is how it kills tapirs;

I’ve always loved this show, every season, and could never understand why so many people were moaning about it....but this season is fking dire. It is looking like some cheap B-movie, dragging out the most ridiculous shoot out over 4 episodes. The dialogue is poor (particularly ‘King’ Ezekiel), the shootout sequences look like something from the A-Team, and I echo the posts about the tiger above. Hope it gets back to a decent story again soon, and starts to look a bit less amateur...will stick with it for the time being though

What did he do? Run it over, or bash it with a pedal?

Savaged it with his teeth. I know, doesn't look like he's capable of it, right? He is quite a funny looking jaguar, though.

Talking about it at work today I described it as a B movie so it looks like I'm not alone with that thought.

It's been B-Movie for a few seasons IMO but at least there were instances of coolness. The tiger CGI wasn't great anyway, goodbye Shiva!

Is anyone else's picture really grainy when watching TWD too? I'm watching on Fox HD and no other shows are like this.

Car chase - BS. Daryl one pops a guy while riding yet the guy with the mounted machine gun can't hit a fking Jeep.
Shootout - BS. She runs out and there's two guys immediately with rifles ready behind a pickup. None of the guys flank or go low just spray endlessly at a truck.
Tiger- BS. Had zero self preservation just accepted death. No. I suspect it would take a lot of competent blokes to pull down a tiger like that. Not a group of rotting wet lettuces.

The show is now just a sort of 'series of set pieces' instead of a coherent story. They go here, shootout, they go there, car chase, they go here, walkers.
