And now, not only are they in the, what, 6-7th season, they get a spin-off that deals with the origins of the outbreak, which, I'm guessing is because they couldn't be even bothered to get to that in all the boredom of the original series.

I guess appreciation of fine zombie apocalypse drama is an acquired taste, so to speak.

Well, what I witnessed in the first season and a half was not even close to drama. Just eye-twitching stupidity. There was one other show, which was even more infuriating and it far out did TWD, despite actual action and drama, and that was 100.

Going by the webz, I seem to be the only person in the World who thought the last episode of Hannibal utter shite.

I'll wait for the entire 3rd season to air, before I'll torrent it.

So I've bingewatched American Horror Story up to Coven.
I really liked the first two seasons, but Coven was quite the letdown.
So many plotholes, inconsistenties and dropped plots.
And that transparent, heavy-handed LGBT analogy in the finale. :roll:

When I was a child we had a game in English class where the first kid writes a paragraph which is followed by a second kid who adds a paragraph and then folds the first back so the kid writing the third paragraph can't see. And on it goes, each child only privy to the previous paragraph, until a story is formed and the teacher would read it back for lulz

That's how American Horror Story seems to be written replacing paragraphs with episodes.

No I started to realise it was shit after 3,4 episodes, I was just hoping, based on the first 2, that it migth improve and save itself.

I've got like two episodes of Wayward Pines left. Is it even worth going to the end?

Oh, I don't know. The writers might figure something out. This didn't feel so spectacular, to be honest.

It's bad enough poor Morty has been left traumatised by Rick's antics, now Summer is getting her fair share of moments she'll be telling her psychiatrist about some day.
