I thought the Rick & Michonne melee at the fair ground was not really falling inline with the scheme of things. The walkers have (supposedly) always been a threat when in numbers, while manageable in dribs and drabs. All of a sudden an enclosure full of them is nothing to worry about with just a sword and a pointy stick? It was an episode that had quite a few "Really??" moments. I can forgive the 30 seconds of wonky CGI with the deer, it was more of how come the deer is still alive anyway in an enclosure full of walkers? Likewise reaching over far enough to grab someone standing on a car roof was beyond them. Can't remember where I read it, but the theory is as time passes the walkers are becoming weaker as they slowly die. Dunno, not the best of episodes. Still enjoy it though, even if it's not quite as sharp and clever as the earlier series.

A deer can jump 12 feet or so in the air, so it's not inconceivable it could have leaped over a fence and got stuck.
Yeah were quite a few comedy moments, it doesn't all have to be serious guysI thought the walkers in the fairground looked like dribs and drabs... and yes, their cells still deteriorate or something, which is why they come apart quite easy these days

I wonder why loads of the walkers in the fairground has their hands bound with zipties? Did the military do that before they 'died' or did someone else do it afterwards?
I agree - problem is that without the 'filler' episodes we'd be done and dusted in about 4 episodes.
I can just about take cartoon zombie killing, swords being thrown, daft CGI deer. BUT - the way the junkyard leader speaks is DOING MY HEAD IN. How in 5 years has language mutated like that?
Think her silly haircut is just as bad! lol
As a long time hater of people saying how much they hate this show week in week out, I have been a huge defender of the show but I have decided to bail on it. Do not fear I won't be in here every week to tell how bad it is. I reached the end, I don't care for any of Ricks crew. The show would be better if Neagan slaughtered the lot and we moved on to another group or stuck with Neagan. I just don't care any longer if we wins and then it's just a wait for the next gang.
My wife still watches it and if it turns into something I want to watch again I can just start again or sprint through it to catch up in a few days. Week to week this show just doesn't work for me any more sadly.

Noooo. Why on earth would you want to bail on it? Seriously? what does it matter what other people think about it if you enjoy it? I'm a fan of the show, but it's not perfect. I don't see anything wrong with discussing its merits and shortcoming's on here. Having differing views makes the world go round, hating some of the characters, and rooting for others is what it is there for. The "scavengers" are a bit pish, and the group are a bit fragmented at the mo, but that may change. Even though it's doesn't quite grip like it did, it's still worth an hour a week compared to some of the other tat that's thrown out.

In the very early episodes the "walkers" could actually run, this seemed to be changed after a couple of episodes as they probably knew it would be harder to have the survivors escape all the time. People put their slow movement down to them decaying but it was literally one episode they could run and the next they couldn't so obviously a writing choice. I could see some of the military being swamped with them running but against tanks and apc's etc they would get demolished, they probably didn't explain it as it would look stupid whatever way they tried to do it if they had actually filmed scenes showing it.

Eh?
The thread is in the US TV sub forum...
Either way, excellent episode, far better than last weeks one
My bad, Can't find a UK "Walking dead" thread. I read it as discussion of US show, not US viewing times.
