Quoted from taz:For the first time since the series began, I'm actually looking forward to Sunday's FTWD episode.
I might have been overly optimistic in my previous post about FTWD improving significantly this season. I watched the mid-season finale and was stunned to see the unrealistic buffoonery of our ragtag survivors return to normal. They went back and forth to Walker's camp, back and forth, by foot, by motorcycle, and by truck, daylight and nighttime they traveled freely, and no one got shot. Then there's druggie boy's Sister who would have been dead if she'd sneaked up on me in that situation where she's trying to chase down psycho boy's older brother in the bushes. She gets herself held in a hostage trade with no apparent danger to her, to preserve the peace and what does her Mom decide to do? To hell with the peace, let's break her out tonight and let killer psycho boy lead the raid. Why not, apparently Walker doesn't guard his compound at night. Surely nothing bad could possibly come from sending him on the mission, right? Yep, he left dead people in Walker's camp while they're trying to negotiate peace. Then, they bite on Ophelia's fake beating and put her, an obvious spy from Walker's camp, into the kitchen where she could do the most damage imaginable. Yep, a bunch more dead people. So, druggie boy's Mom decides to retaliate by stealing Walker's trailer full of ancestor relics and bones, which was taken right out from under Walker's nose......because he doesn't guard his camp well enough. Then, with time ending a predictable attempt at a just ending. Druggie boy and Mom are now almost as murderous as pyscho boy. What a bunch of crap writing. I hope they all get killed painfully in the next episode and the show's only remaining cast members are Strand and the El Salvadoran guy.
