The moment ot existed.
The part where they have a battle over the prison, and after the good guys win they leave their newly secured fortress because some fences got knocked down.
Is that around around the same time as the scene that’s been made into a meme where the good main cop guy (can’t remember name) is crying leaning over telling his son that his mum is now a zombie or dead?
Cooooooral
When the lady at Maccas tells u the icecream machine is broken.
If I remember correctly, it’s the cop dad realizing his son shot his mother (copwife) who was in the process of birthing his sibling. She couldnt complete the brith naturally, and was dying of blood loss. If you die you turn.
So dadcop was away at this time due to plot, carl shoots mom and they rip the baby out.
This meme scene is when Rick returns to learn all that has transpired, and that Carl is completely detached and uncaring (outwardly).
Rick then goes into the scene where the birth happened and it is implied he finds a walker eating the corpse of his wife.
He is, as you can imagine, somewhat bummed out and grouchy about all this.
It also marked his son’s pivot from being his little follower (as in wanting to follow his footsteps) into something much more dark.
I dunno, tried to remember. probably goofed some details
Damn yea that all rings a few bells now. I didn’t realise it was the kid that had to kill the mum (and baby?) This is the point I stopped watching, I can’t remember specifically why, but I obviously got sick of it or thought the show had turned to shit and maybe this was the last straw for me.
If I recall, baby lived, dad has to grapple with infant no milk, weird son, all the other shit and is just rocked.
Nope, this was the single moment that ruined the show for me and I’ll tell you why.
Carls reaction wasn’t even shock. It was just nothing. Detached is a great word for just… nothing. So you have the son watching his mom die and zero reaction happens.
Then the dad freaks out but just like the meme I found this reaction so stupid. It’s bad acting. It’s bad writing.
Then what really killed it for me is that the dad goes into a long sad boi moment, meanwhile Carl becomes this new bad boy character that his character earned exactly zero build up for. So much so that he takes away from his dad. His character goes from weak boy who needs protection to this like rough and tough kid who tells his dad to “man up.” It’s hilarious. It needed way more development and it was clear they wanted a destination for the characters but couldn’t transition properly.
I’m not arguing for this scene, I’m describing it
(Didn’t mean it argumentatively, I meant that aimed at the show)
Coolcoolcool
He is, as you can imagine, somewhat bummed out and grouchy about all this.
Lmfao I did not expect this line
That’s EXACTLY where I stopped too. How ridiculous
I don’t have TV, so will catch shows later than everyone else of I hear good things. By the time I’d was ready to seek it out, the consensus was to not bother so I didn’t.
Avoided Game of Thrones the same way (may still watch it except for the final season some day). Only watched Dexter for a few seasons and quit while I knew I was ahead. Etc.
I do the same with video games.
There’s way too much media out there, so why not hold back a bit and wait for the dust to settle?
The hard part is the social aspect of media. It’s not always about what’s good, it’s about the conversation surrounding the things. I get weird looks when I talk about Plex. Also
When they were “escorting” the walkers out of the quarry and everything went to shit for the dumbest reasons, as is tradition. I don’t even remember what happened after that because I think I stopped mid episode.
When the old man died (a little after that)
Attempted to watch through season 4 a few times, then finally got through it. Watched 2-3 episodes of season 5 and quickly realized that the show wasn’t building up to anything and did a lot of rinse and repeat. So I quit watching it then.
Episode one. Not my bag, baby.
I hung in a really long time actually. Lasted until they did the informal handoff to new stars, around the time Jesus had that weird fight to the death in the foggy graveyard. That was it for me.
I think that’s at the exact point I stopped as well. Honestly, a lot longer than I probably should have gone.
When I started rooting for the zombies to just end the crew’s suffering and by extension mine.
The whole Sophia arc could have been 2-3 episodes not seasons. Nothing against her character or the actress, but they were already really dragging stuff out back then.
But really, I fucking gave up on it because Carl is supposed to kill the non-zombiefied version of Shawn.
I think there was an evil hospital, or something. Maybe a muder car.
That one guy has the cute though. I am sure he isn’t lying…
Yeah I stopped when they introduced cryosleep and cyborg girls.
They did what?
When the zombie was pulled out of the well. Just not worth it for me.
I legit thought the show ended after season 4.
I loved the first episode. I watched S1 out of hope and then gave up.
Thought season 1 was bad and inconsistent and then quit either in the middle of season 2 or the end of it.
It was clear the writing was in conflict with production from the get go.
Some of season one was great! Then season two took a story that was only one and two half issues in the comic and dragged it out into a whole boring season.
The worst thing about the show is that they took things from the comic and thought “what if we do this but change it to make it less awesome.”
The final straw for me was the day after the episode where Beth died aired. It was the morning after that episode aired and I hadn’t had time to watch it yet, and I was scrolling through Facebook when a giant “RIP Beth” picture popped up on my main feed from the official Walking Dead account.
The official account couldn’t even hold itself back from posting spoilers for 24 hours after the air date and I realized I didn’t even care that the episode had been spoiled. I didn’t care about the characters, or the plot or the direction the story was going.
I haven’t watched anything Walking Dead since.
but…youre spoiling it now?
24 hours is a spoiler.
9 years is a recap.Lmao im sorry I should have used /s but I thought it was funny
That’s on you. If you don’t want to have yesterday’s episode spoiled, you shouldn’t go on social media or at least be very careful.
