Hey folks. Just some quick thoughts about last night's WALKING DEAD season ending. Gonna get spoil heavy so if you haven't watched it yet, cover your eyes and go check out my ADULT WEBCOMICs instead! (If you are over 18 that is!)
Okay, at first I was kinda let down. I was expecting quite the blowout firefight like it was in the comics. But I am constantly reminded of the fact that the show is NOT like the comic, nor should it be. I guess last night's show further cements it. But I remember there being a million commercials and like 3 minutes left of show. I had the sinking feeling of "Man, I'm not gonna get the firefight I was hoping for." Yeah, in true Kirkman fashion, I got something completely different and a lot of misdirection. And always like any Kirkman story, I enjoyed it after the fact. After I considered the facts, I realize its a good way to go. Rick & co are now a part of a much larger community. More bodies to hit the floor. Bigger stakes and more of a fight when it comes back on. Michonne has her rightful place and so does Tyreese. I was gonna be so pissed if they wrote him out of the show, cause he's one of my favorite characters in the comics. So I get more Tyreese and that makes me happy. We'll see more of the prison when its expanded next season, so thats cool.
Other things I liked:
--The Andrea/Milton situation. It was quite fucked up that Phillip left him in there and the agony of waiting for him to turn and kill her. Quite inventive and puts the G man on a whole new level of mean ass.
---Bear's score. When the prison is being invaded by the army, there is this cool little zombie heart thump sound like "twoommp twoommp twooomp." I like that. And the whole sequence is cool. Misdirection. You never know whats coming around the corner. Its cool!
--DING DONG THE BITCH IS DEAD! So long Andrea! Finally don't have to deal with her anymore.
--Hershel's little girl killing a zombie. Atta girl! Get in there!
Things I wasn't that into:
---Carl's actions. The whole talking smack to his dad and then dropping the badge and walking away. Like "yeah bitch! in yo face!" I was with him and his actions up til that point. Cause it looked like that kid wasn't gonna fully drop that gun. He coulda turned it quick at any point. Fuck that. GO CARL!
---Michonne emoting. Eh, I prefer her stone faced and angry. It woulda been great to see her weeping alone instead of like 4 times at Andrea's death.
---No Governor death? I felt a bit robbed by that, but in the end, we know he's gonna come back and be more bad ass and mean. He lurks! Kinda makes it funner. But now he's gotta recruit a new army. So I hope they keep his return a surprise as to WHEN it happens.
So at first I felt really let down. But I guess it builds for something even BIGGER in the future. I hope anyway. Now that we'll be focused on the prison and not watching Andrea screw the bad guy all time, we'll get some better focus. I think. I hope. We'll see.
Anyway, good show. I'll be back in the fall with it.
