Ratings hit,hardly it is

[Darkest Hour]

I deduct success of TWD is a concurrence of idiotic influences.
NOTHING ELSE IS ON idiot box!

It shows how dumb people are willing to ingest mindless so called
ENTERTAINMENT.

Shit the dang stuff got me when I was younger my own damn self,Denny Terrio disco
dance fever anyone?

Chuck Barris gong show?

End of line...

Flaws and all....here's another idiot out of the millions that made the show a success....

[shootemindehead]

what?

:confused:

[AcesandEights]

Yeah, it's a fun show with regular bouts of questionable writing, but when it delivers it's great.

I'm not sure what's being said here exactly, but if loving The Walking Dead is wrong, then I don't wanna be correct! ...

Arguably, DH never said he's not a fan. And since he used "deduct" where he clearly meant "deduce" it stands to reason he fits the demographic.

I have to think that TWD is on the high side of TV quality right now, flaws and all. Yet, DH has a point... there's not much on that would force TWD to be better. And definitely not something zombie related.

Mock the OP's posting style do you...hmmm? :D

[Darkest Hour]

Well TRIN kind of got what I was attempting to get across.
No need for a page full of photo replies mocking me.

Thanks

DHWell, maybe you can clear up the OP then?

You stated, "It shows how dumb people are willing to ingest mindless so called ENTERTAINMENT."

To me this implies you're suggesting "The Walking Dead" is "mindless entertainment", and much of the audience is made up of "dumb people"?

[MoonSylver]

I wasn't mocking. I legitimately couldn't tell if the original post was serious, or an attempt at baiting. Seemed to be phrased in a rather inflammatory manor...

[rongravy]

inflammatory manor...

If I ever buy another place, I'm totally calling it that...:p

[AcesandEights]

Arguably, DH never said he's not a fan.
So you're saying he could be some sort of conflicted self-loathing soul? Well, the therapist is not in.

Mea culpa,sorry for posting.
/me Wiggles out from under the pile on to get a friggin breath.

6 posts in a month happen here and if it isn't Neils mindless regurgitated links with not much homemade commentary + gigantic sig or MZ and his GD self congratulatory movie reviews from a uni graduate who still lives @home leeching off his folks not in the real world
there would be nothing to read here.

Heaven forbid someone tries to breathe life into a nearly dead forum and everyone arrows the messenger.

WHAT??? !!!!!!

Have I missed something?

WTF is going on?

[ProfessorChaos]

i was merely poking fun at the grammatical structure of your post, man, as it reminds me of yoda-speak.

i am in the camp that TWD is over-rated, but concede that it has its moments of greatness here and there and admit that i'm excited now that the characters are on the move and the prison has fallen...

i actually hope you stick around, as it gets boring around here when every TWD apologist on this site refuses to see how crappy the show gets at times and acts stuffy if anyone even mentions the possibility that it might be a tad over-hyped.

:rockbrow:

Sorry, a couple of meme's & a question of the sincerity of the original post, since it seemed as though it were crafted to provoke, answered in a way I'd have to say was definitely crafted to provoke...?

Thanks for removing the doubt. :lol:

[Wyldwraith]

First,
Call it what you want DH, that was trolling.
Second: I don't believe any rational person thinks everything about TWD is great, all the time, every episode. Hell, I rip on poorly done scenes, inconsistent characterization (when it suits the writers needs of the moment) and highly implausible actions taken by TWD characters all the time. As do quite a few others here. For example: I can recall about a half-dozen of us were ready to vomit after the Gov's seemingly effortless capture of Andrea. It didn't make sense, still doesn't, NEVER WILL.
Finally, the show's warts and boils don't prelude it from being one of the few entertaining things on TV these days...or far and away the best zombie-related content to be framed in a TV show. (The artsy types can rave about crap like In the Flesh all they want, it was preachy, heavy-handed, and melodramatic. Everything bad about TWD, except thats ALL it was, 100% of the time.)

TWD, on the other hand, is for the most part an enjoyable, sometimes even dramatic, romp through the zombie apocalypse. I mean what are you looking for, Citizen Kane with rotting people? The genre is by nature limited to a specific spectra of tropes, and any fan of zombie movies/books/comics etc accepts this, while acknowledging when necessary the limitations of various offerings when it seems like the creators aren't giving 100% anymore. (Romero, I'm looking at you. Can't hack it anymore, so you rip on those that can. How classy ::rolls eyes::)

So honestly, there's no credible basis for implying the HPOTD crowd are mindless fanboys/fangals. If they were a) I wouldn't still be here, and b) My mockery would be writ large across many threads before being moderated into cyber-oblivion.

If you have a SPECIFIC complaint with TWD's recent offerings you'd like to DISCUSS, great. Otherwise, jam that self-serving "Mea Culpa" up your rectum sideways and get off this forum before you awaken sleeping dragons.

[Darkest Hour]

No beef with you son.I frequently enjoy your wordy spiels since hardly anyone posts anymore.
I believe you meant preclude instead of prelude and besides the point its sideways with a rusty chainsaw at your outro.
Wonder why no one posts?Vindictive responses like yours play a part.

YOU go feet first into the woodchipper my fine friend.

I thought I recognised this posters demeaning tone. Wasn't he/she banned as user Tom something?

No comment - "DarkHour" clearly had trouble just posting in a nice friendly manner and at times went out of his/her/its way to achieve the opposite. So banned...

Dang, I thought this was just a shoot the shit/break some balls with no hard feels thread...

Thank feck for that. My brain was starting to hurt trying to figure out WTF he was trying to say.
