You're right that it was a pretty pointless end, I suspect just to add shock value. Or it a thing with American TV where they make something seem so shocking by intentionally making it all so incredibly pointless? I can't tell anymore.

BTW, lulz:

An intense moment though. Daryl always gets to me when he breaks. Thought it was kind of odd for Maggie to have a nervous breakdown after not asking about Beth for like an entire season.

Edit; to clarify, it's not odd to have a nervous breakdown if your little sister is killed, but it's odd she barely seemed to care before.
I thought she would've died in season 4 so it felt like she was on borrowed time.

Also I'm pretty sure Maggie was holding out hope that Beth was still out there somewhere, but you're right—she seemed pretty nonchalant about it before. Or maybe I just don't remember her and Daryl having a conversation about Beth.

I read somewhere the actress who plays Beth stopped with TWD to pursue other opportunities in her career. That would mean the script writers were forced to end her storyline.

Ha! He was Bull, in Band of Brothers. Also a sergeant. Even had the cigar.

I like him. So far, he at least seems to not be much of a shouty army-man twat and become one of the team. Ok, he raged on the Bill Hicks lookalike mullet guy (who is actually a good characterisation of someone who's aquired most of their knowledge via fiction and the internet, tbh), but he appeared to feel like fuck for it. Like [s]plained[/s] (oop, it was Lieutenant Dan), I was expecting him to cap himself afterwards.
The problem with him is his fucking stupid obviously dyed orange hair. :disgust:

I like how the guy who claimed he was a scientist who could save the world (who couldn't) now doesn't say shit and just sort of stays on the periphery.

What I hope (and think) they're gonna do is spin it in a Breaking Bad kind of way, where the group is going to do the exact same things to others that they're afraid will happen to them and rationalize it in ways that seem ethically sound but ultimately flawed. The viewer may just go along with it for quite some time because the group are the good guy, right?

They'll end up becoming the bad guys until they'll have some "wtf are we doing?" kind of epiphany.

An entire episode dedicated to a dinner party. Great.

Maybe this will be good
The program, which hasn't been officially titled just yet, takes place in Los Angeles and won't follow Sheriff Rick Grimes and his band of survivors. Instead, it will take place as the zombie apocalypse strikes and society begins falling apart, making it a prequel of sorts to the current series.

Yeah I read about that. Not sure what it'll add to the mix. Sounds to me like more of the same, which probably means they're going to be cannibalizing each other.

Oh as for the dinner party episode, it paints a clear picture of our "heroes" having a hard time adapting to and accepting normal life, with Sasha showing symptoms of PTSS. It's kind of like soldiers coming back from war.

The best part of any zombie movie is when all hell is breaking loose, like the beginning of Dawn of the Dead. If they dedicate a whole show to a huge city going insane, like the L4D prequel comic, I'm all for it.

Shit yes, the first 20 minutes of that film are most excellent.

Best zombie opening is the first ten minutes of 28 weeks later. I love the start of that film.

It's just a shame the remaining 150 minutes are utter pap.
