Word! I see how they got into this predicament, but it all stems from apparently favoring minorities in the more minor and expendable roles. I'm black and I find this annoying, but I also want to be supportive of other minorities that are being highlighted on the show. While black people are being massacred, there are multiple Latinos on the show. I'm not sure if Travis is supposed to some kind of L.A. Maori or if he is playing another race, but he still counts. It's just a shame that the three characters that were killed off were either crazy hot (Cal) or seemed to have interesting potential. I find this very troubling as it seems to back up the bitter jokes of a large amount of fans. Matt didn't have to die, no wonder his story doesn't feel fleshed out. After the casting they decided to kill him! Well, it showed. Everything about his execution showed that someone on the writing staff randomly decided to kill him. "Hey Rob, what if we killed Matt?" (Robert Kirkman looks up from his Iphone, annoyed at the interruption. That candy won't crush itself). He responded, "Sure. Kill him. Whatever. Just make sure to be super random about it. We can use it to make his girlfriend sad for the rest of the series. But cut costs by barely filming anything about it." My fill in the blank theory about what happened to Matt involves a street vendor and a zombie hobo. Matt clearly envisioned making sweet love to Alicia while she was staying at his house with no parents present. In order to get their fuck on, classy-style, he decided to buy her flowers. (I think there were flowers scattered on the floor in his house.) On his way to meet Alicia, Matt stopped by a street vendor who was selling flowers. He had just picked out a bouquet when a seemingly drunk or high hobo stumbled into him. The man attacked him. There was a struggle. Matt was bitten on the shoulder. Other people, believing a drunken hobo was attacking a child, intervene and he is able to get away. He grabbed the flowers and headed home, bleeding a lot from where he was bitten. The bite was big and deep, the lethal infection set in immediately.

I know! I just try to tell myself that while black people don't fair too well on this show, at least there is now a Hispanic family on the scene. Hopefully they won't all get massacred in the next episode. There is still diversity to be had. Travis's seizure delay tactic on Alicia worked a treat. What a guy. I'm mad that Alicia's boyfriend was introduced and essentially killed off for no fucking reason. Why even bother having that character if he was only going to be in three scenes and have little importance. And no, I don't count giving Alicia something to mope about is a good reason to have a character. It's fucked up that that boy is going to die alone and terrified. And then will eat his unsuspecting parents. Thanks Madison and Travis. Tobias and his quest to find one tiny little knife made me question his cv for the ZA. Madison is the worst. Is there any reason she refuses to tell her daughter what is going on? Alicia's ignorance is dangerous. By the way, that glass door Madison was blocking at the end isn't going to do shit. That house is not secure. Chris is so annoying! I just hate him. Why did Alicia's not totally annoying boyfriend have to die, while Chris gets to live? The ZA is cruel. Do you think Tobias refused to go with Madison because he thinks she's a reckless idiot who will get him killed? Because I kind of think that. You guys, I had a crazy thought. Forgive me if this has been debated before. If zombies don't exist in the Walking Dead universe, then what about "Thriller"? What. About. Thriller? Those were definitely zombies in that video. So Thriller as we know it can't exist in this universe. That bums me out.Was it just dancing werewolves or ghosts? Does Michael Jackson, King of Pop, even exist in this world? Or was he Michael Jackson, former member of Jackson 5?

Were they running out of extras when they filmed this scene? This is a sparsely populated riot.

Damn. Nick is the best brother ever. He had a fucking seizure just to stop her from going to Matt. Why can't Tobias get a new knife? It wasn't even a big knife. Surely there are other fucking steak knives in the entirety of LA. Chris is such a jackass. I hate him and his terrible haircut.

Why are parents fighting over weekends with their teenage son? He doesn't even seem that young, like 14. What was the mom planning to do with the kid on "her weekend"? Ugh. Divorce/custody issues are the worst!

I find the real Johnny Depp in that Whitey Bulger make-up to be more terrifying than any zombie that has appeared on this show.

I just can't. They have really leaned in on this! WTF. That's great. Matt will die alone and eat his parents, if they ever even make it back. My ability to appreciate this show has been damaged. I'm sure that actor was grateful for the one week of work, but why couldn't they just let him live?

Well at least they seem freaked out now.

That would be a little Shaun of the Dead. It would be lovely. But they have to still be on their skate boards.

You've hit the nail on the head right there. I firmly believe, with no evidence, that the scene was originally meant to have a fully clothed Nick running for his life. But then some clever crew member realized that Frank Dillane is pretty fit and decided that the scene made more sense with him wearing a girl's shrug and no shirt. Maybe they made him try on a bunch of different sweaters. "No. That's too baggy. I need more. More skin! Someone go to Gap kids!" I'm not mad. While apparently everyone else was getting distracted by an unfortunate sweater, I was able to focus on what really mattered in the scene. His glorious shirtless-ness. Maybe they were trying to make a statement. Like, Nick doesn't conform to any sweater gender normative bs. If he wants to wear a cropped sweater and baggy jeans he will do it! He might wear a skort in the next episode with an Ed Hardy shirt in the next episode. Let's face it, if the worst thing a junkie did was wear a questionable sweater, the world would be an awesome place.

True. I really felt for the kid with the steak knife. He gets it and is appropriately horrified. He feels like we do, only he is living in it. Seeing a doomed way of life every where he goes. This also made me strangely reckless because I know that civilization is about to fall. I worried for a second that Nick was leaving behind a mountain of evidence in and around Cal's car, then I realized that they are probably a few days away from complete anarchy. The CSI:LA people are going to be eaten. But let's face it, Cal and all of the extras we see who are going to be eaten early are the lucky ones. I figured out by season 2 of TWD that I don't want to live through the zombie apocalypse. It's just no fun. And there seems to be a lot of rape, murder, and cannibalism. Nope! Not for me.

Agreed! Tom Riddle knows how to take care of himself. I will be supremely annoyed if he gets bitten by the end of this season. His story has a lot of potential. Instead of "The Walking Dead" where a lot of characters tell us about what a-holes they used to be before they got their shit together because of the Zombie Apocalypse, we could see this development actually happen. I won't be down for trying to watch him score heroin in the midst of the Apocalypse, though. That would be dumb. You know when people stop producing and importing heroin? When reanimated corpses start eating people. Frank Dillane, aka Nick, is a good actor. I bought his hysteria in trying to figure out what happened to him. I read the episode as him knowing that the Zombie Apocalypse was upon us, but desperately hoping it was just a bad trip. Cal was ridiculously good looking. It was distracting. I see why they couldn't let him survive this episode. I'm concerned more about what happened to Annoyed Daughter's boyfriend than I am about her. I get her issues and in her position I would feel the same, but I just don't feel like hearing teenage girl angst. If one of those kids has to get eaten, I vote for her. I found it hilarious when Kim Dickens shut Travis down about what actually might have happened in the Drug Den. What the hell? Her flippant response was basically, "It's a drug den. Bad things happen. Stabbings. Shootings. Don't worry about it." She had know idea what happened to her son. She preferred for Nick to think he was crazy, than to listen to Travis saying that Nick wasn't crazy? Weird. I was about to super annoyed that Cal managed to wander off so fast, thus prolonging the parental units from encountering any zombies. Again. They seemed to be zombie adjacent for most of the episode. But then gorgeous Cal shuffled into the scene. And lost to Nick for the second and third times. He ain't pretty no more. I find it incredibly fitting that Cal was the first named character to be killed. There is a proud tradition in the Walking Dead universe of massacring as many black men as possible and this show will be no different. It is actually funny, now. As soon as beautiful Cal showed up, several scenes after Smart Teen Girl's boyfriend was introduced, I knew one of those guys would have to go.

I feel mean saying it, but I totally agree! I know One is supposed to be the young hot guy, but I just am not buying what he is selling. One's whiny demeanor has ruined the character for me. He's like a dude who looks 25, is actually 35, and acts 21. Not terribly hot. But the guy playing Derrick is very pretty and didn't have enough One lines to get annoying. I'd certainly like to keep him. Please and thank you. I also agree that Two is too much of a paint by numbers strong woman. I couldn't deal with Five having a heart to heart with the Android. I hate the Android. Hate. She's no Data. If they are going for some kind of A.I. becomes self aware story, then there needs to be a lot more groundwork. In the meantime, could someone please program her to stop speaking in that annoying way. She sounds like she is telling a story to toddlers before they go to bed. Four is a total softie. He gave Three some real talk! He was clearly just trying to help Three move past the death of that woman. I think it was actually good character development to have Three still affected by her death.

That was interesting. I think that Six was remarkably stupid. Did he really think what he was doing was a good idea? All he did was tip his hand to the General. I think I preferred Derrick to One. That guy can come back. I'll admit that I was interested in the twist that Three may have killed Derrick's wife. Two is a delusional hypocrite. I couldn't believed her extended rants about honesty when she's been wearing a fake bandage for an undisclosed period of time. Side note, how did One fail to notice that she is clearly not injured? They had sex! Did she ever say "ow, my neck" while they were making sweet love? I love this! Four is frighteningly practical. At all times. While One seemed concerned that the random stranger he was never going to see again knew he wasn't gay, Four was just focusing on the bottom line.

I actually think the writers are well aware of the implications. I don't think that they were saying that Joe was a good guy. Joe may see himself as a good guy. but that isn't necessarily the reality. He may have tried to avoid ogling Anita's naked body one time, but that hardly makes him a saint. His kids were in the house and his wife would soon be home. The fact is, the first time he was home alone and had the opportunity to sex Anita, he did. I think Joe knows he isn't such a good guy, that all of his wife's early concerns were totally right. It was all there after he finished. The self loathing and fear was instantly clear. Merlin continues to interest me. I find his story to be very compelling. Niska is a dumbass. I get it, but she needs to look at the bottom line! She knows they would all be screwed if she were to be captured. Does she lie low? Nope. She keeps showing up places, causing a problem. Sit down, girl! The Karen situation is like the "Sixth Sense" for me all over again. I always thought she was a synth. Always. That chick does not really blend. Pete is a terrible little man. If he wasn't raging against synths, it would probably be immigrants that were ruining civilization. He's the worst! I wouldn't be surprised if the season ends with him committing a murder/suicide with his wife. Laura is very irritating. What a nag! I know she's right, but I can't stand to agree with her. Mattie is also a bit annoying. Smug little jerk. Don't even get me started on Toby, who clearly wants to take a one-way train to Rapeville. I was rooting for the truck to hit him in the last episode. Why did Anita have to ruin it for me?

I can't argue with Two's logic on this one. The second she bangs One, he will start writing his wedding vows. At the very least she will have to deal with endless nonsense that nobody has time for. While I enjoyed this episode, I found half of it to be dull. Why did we have to dedicate so much time on Four's back story when we already knew it? I also found Five's performance as Four to be underwhelming. I also thought that the farm boy was more confirmation that One is not Jace, but it is just as likely to be Three's history. He could have some hard luck story about how some evil corporation blew up his farmhouse and set him on a path of piracy. I'm surprised that Six was so cool with the memory he saw. It's bad enough to be a surprise!terrorist. But he murdered more innocent people when he killed his fellow rebels. Fine, one dude was definitely a villain, but what about the others? He murdered the guy that blew the whistle on the other man and was extremely upset. He was clearly not in on the plan and was just as upset as Six, but got murdered anyway. I found that more shocking and upsetting than Six inadvertently being caught up in a plot that killed a bunch of people.

Yes! I thought the same thing. It was nice to see that magnificent bastard again. I couldn't figure out if he was going to be a good guy, bad guy, or victim. We first see him saving a little boy from dying in a fire. That's pretty good. Then he douches out and makes comments about Christine's ass. So I thought he was bad. Then he fought with Jr. and it made me think that he will end up being a victim of Christine's plotting. I do just want him to start eating some of the more useless characters. Can we talk about how upsetting that Christine/Jr. sex scene was? We basically saw Jr. get molested. He is already, arguably, never in his right mind. For that reason alone, I'm not sure that he is emotionally stable enough to consent to have sex. You add in alien mind control goo and an elaborate behavior mod simulation and there is no way he could have consented to that sex with Christine. He even looked spaced out! I don't like this. They didn't need to have this at all. No one wants to see Marg Helgenberger (sp) sexing on that boy as he stares off, crazier than a crazy thing. Also, his mother died again, like two days ago. If we have to keep hearing about Angie, patron saint of plucky blond girls, why hasn't Jr. been crying all over town about his mom?

I have to be honest and admit that I kind of think this show is terrible. It has all the elements of a good show, but none of the follow through. I feel like I've seen all of these characters before, doing the same thing. What is with mousy girl who is so afraid of dongs that she'll turn on her mentor? I don't care how repressed she is, this is her job. It's like a cop being afraid to carry handcuffs. You can't be a nurse at a field hospital during a damn war and be so afraid of a penis that you declare some kind of war on another nurse. It's bizarre. I found the scene with the ears guy to be unintentionally funny. The nurse was literally the only one to react. Are we to surmise that this is undesirable, but typical behavior? "Damn, we got another ear collector! Should I put him in the tent with all the others?" And if people were unaware of his ear collection, why didn't the nurse lead with that when the doctor came after her? She almost seemed to be apologizing for behaving like a silly woman, when what actually happened was that a crazy guy with an ear necklace threatened her. Don't bury that lead.

This fucking show! It's like the writers are all new. Someone who hates the show and never paid much attention just described it to them and they were like, "Got it!" That's the only way I can explain the fact that so many dumb things have happened in such a short period of time. They must get new writers for each season. I hate Barbie and Julia. They are the worst. I don't buy their dumb ass love story. Julia should still be grieving her husband! I get that he was a dick, but still, Barbie shot him three weeks ago and buried him in the woods. I know damn well she better not say anything to Barbie about moving on with Eva, given how quickly she rebounded. Barbie should love Eva more. Given the fact that Barbie and Julia have basically just been banging for 2 weeks, his feelings for Eva should be pretty strong. I'm actually interested, despite myself, in the affect this alternate universe is going to have on people. I want to feel for Joe, but I also think that Norri doesn't owe him anything. They've only known each other three very traumatic weeks. They aren't going to be together forever. And Hunter is cute. And I get that Angie was important to some of the characters, but she's been gone from the show for quite some time and I'm tired of hearing about her.

This show is awful! Just awful. The episode where the Devil just has story time was ridiculous. Why did he take so long to come out with the pertinent info? It's like he knew he was on a tv show and had to draw it out. Lead with Rose is a demon bitch. I'm annoyed by this revelation that Rose is a secret Horseman. I get it, one of those things wasn't like the others. It was clear that she wasn't going to be the love interest for the two adult male Angels, thus making her expendable. I will say that the actress was 100% more interesting when she got to be evil, instead of the dull Exposition Angel. She is actual quite pretty and has multiple facial expressions! The Devil's plan makes no sense. If he hadn't shown up like a creepy creep who creeps, he would have had a much better chance of working with Angels. I still don't understand why he was helping the Horsemen become Horsemen. It all seems to be a lot of work. Why go through making them, just to then aide in tearing them down? It's not like there isn't unspeakable evil in the world already. This show would be so much better if the Horsemen weren't evil. They weren't evil in the Bible. I thought that they were just a necessary part of the Apocalypse. I'd prefer if they were zealots of a kind, intent on going through with this because they believed it was God's will. So much more interesting than mustache twirling villains.

I think the accident happened after he took the jacket off. He was staring at her and not watching the snowy, icy road. As soon as he took off the jacket, all I could think was "No!!! Haven't these fools seen that Coldplay video? Never take off your seatbelt." I also question why they were on that lonely road. The evil organization seems to be only a few minutes drive from where the accident occurred. So Riley was living that closely to that isolated secret government complex? That's weird.

I disliked this show for the first four or five episodes. I found it intermittently interesting, but an overall bore. And then somehow, it got better or I finally bought in. By the time I reached the finale, I was thoroughly enjoying the show. I was also fist pumping every time another person appeared to help rescue Riley. The use of each of the characters was terrific. It was in keeping with their personalities and fit in seamlessly. So basically, everyone is in one everyone else's drama? Because I was a little surprised when Wolfgang showed up given the fact that he had been distracted by that mansion massacre and no one seemed to be talking to him about saving Riley. I also think there is more going on with Wolfgang and his father. The only thing we were shown was that the man was physically abusive. But after that, Wolf choked him to death and set his body on fire. I just don't see him holding on to things for this long with this amount of rage unless we haven't gotten the whole picture. It would have been a harsh result, but I wouldn't have minded if Riley died in this episode. I kind of got why she didn't have any will to live after that traumatic event. I don't know how I feel about Mr. Whispers. What kind of life does this man lead? Netflix better make a second season. They gave Hemlock Grove a second season and that show got terrible reviews and was legitimately awful. I need Sun to get released from that prison. She deserves better than to be stuck in the prison for the rest of the show.

Why can't Amy be both entertaining and and informative about gender politics. I never got into her show and had never watched an episode before this one. I came away thoroughly impressed. This episode was hilarious and clever. Even if you consider Amy to be hot enough to be on successful, isn't it still worth the conversation? Even if Amy doesn't typify the problem? I'm assuming Amy wasn't raped while serving in the military, does that mean she shouldn't have done the skit from last season? Even suggesting that Amy's looks are sufficient to furnish a career is basically conceding her point. The only women allowed at the table are the ones, irrespective of talent, who reach a sufficient level of attractiveness. Re: fuckable. Maggie Gyllenhal recently revealed that at 37 she was considered too old to be the love interest for a 55 year old actor. This fuckable thing is real. It's absolutely horrifying. Mindy Cohn and all the other "not hot" women mentioned in this episodes have faced this issue. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first or the last time Natalie from Facts of Life has been discussed in a somewhat derogatory manner. While that guy was teased for his love of Natalie, he ultimately stood by it. I loved Vincent Kartheiser in this skit. From his subtle shading of that dude obsessed with Blake Shelton "You paid for that" in reference to a meet and greet to his emphatic "Pass" upon seeing a photo of Amy. He was great. I also loved the reveal that the dick who hated Amy the most was holding on to some teenaged angst about a girl who rejected him. It was funny and probably true to life. All those angry men on the internet who feel compelled to post about how unattractive Amy is have to be working out some kind of trauma. Paul Giamatti really committed to this role. His character has really strong emotions about dildos. My favorite was his description of it being the "size of a m*****'s fist."

Agreed. I think this made more sense than the Tommy Merlyn death, but I did think it was similar. Eddie's sacrifice seems more necessary than Tommy's for the simple fact that it was so obvious. If Eddie was Eobard's ancestor, it is kind of obvious that a very effective way to defeat the jerk was for him to not have any kids. This could have more reasonably been achieved by merely making the decision to not have children, but that wouldn't have been very dramatic. Anyway, Barry was a total a-hole in this episode. I kept waiting for someone to say "What the fuck? Barry, what about my mother? What about everyone else in the entire world?" It made no sense. And why did it have to be right that second? Maybe I missed the part where they explained that because of the blah blah they had to do it then and no other time, perhaps when they had gathered more information. I can't deal with the Iris fuckery. She is acting like that old SNL skit "Mango". She is sending all kinds of mixed signals to both men. She knows she is in love with Barry! Poor dumb, hopeful Eddie. There was definitely something to Eddie getting sucked into the wormhole. I'm hopeful that he will come out alive and changed. He was basically the worlds best and most communicative boyfriend, great in real life but boring on tv. That scene with Barry and his mom was kind of a killer. There is something I love about Barry going back and not saving his mother, but getting to say goodbye to her. That's amazing to me. I can't even imagine getting the opportunity to tell someone you've lost how much you love them. Getting to spend a few bonus seconds with them... This was a total Field of Dreams ending to this storyline and I loved it. Killer Frost eh? Interesting. I wonder what Cisco's power will be. I would assume remembering things that didn't happen can't possibly be his power. I agree that everything should have changed upon the death of Eddie. I was expecting an instant change. I didn't really like the wormhole ending. Barry was basically flying at the end. Ok. This ending didn't make me feel like "oh snap, when is this shit coming back on!" Instead, I was just like "well that happened."

Wow. Juliette went all in. As far as I'm concerned, there is no going back. She banged another dude in Nick's bed! Then she murdered his mother and left her head in a box for him to find. This bitch! If this show tries to redeem her, they will probably lose my business. Even if Juliette gets de-Hexenbeisted and doesn't remember a thing, they all will. You can't un-know that someone brutally murdered your mother. How would that conversation even go? "Hey Nick, is your Mom coming for Christmas?Nick? Why do you look so sad? Whoa, now you look angry? At me? Why? I was just wondering why you refuse to open boxes and haven't mentioned your Mom in forever!"
