[mightysparrow]

Strand's got a yacht?????

[raven]

You went there so he could pack up some white shirts, Nick.

I think Liza got bit.

[mightysparrow]

No Liza.  Why can't it be Maddie?

[CouchTater]

Maybe it's not the execution, writing, or acting.  Maybe a 2nd series was too much.  Maybe they shouldn't have gone to the zombie well a 2nd time?

 

Does anyone think this weak show can tarnish/weaken TWD's legacy?

[calliope1975]

Ooo Liza. I am confuzzed by this entire thing. Why'd he need Nick to leave? Why'd he bring these peeps with him? 

 

Awkward family dynamics for the win. Chris is really going to resent his step-mom now.

[wait.what]

Can they all please take a shower and put on clean clothes? And find a weapon and keep it with you at all times?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Damn.

[candall]

Our programming notes have gone unheeded.

[raven]

Travis is going to see this.  Let Travis do it.  Or wait.  It's just a flesh wound!

[bunnyblue]

Dammit, of course it's Liza. 

[Iguessnot]

So what happened to all the zombies outside the compound? How many hours did it take them to leave the med unit and exit? I'm surprised the kids still stayed there after mega hours.

[Ohwell]

I'm done.

[mightysparrow]

Man up for fuck's sake, Travis.

[wait.what]

Liza, darn.

[riverheightsnancy]

Bad vibe. Liza is gonna kill herself......Of course, it has to be a person who actually makes an emotion with her face. 

[Nostariel]

I am, as predicted, super pissed.

[Macbeth]

Great the show picks off one of the more interesting characters and the show looses its doctor.

 

FU show.

[raven]

Bye Liza!  Yes Travis, the world sucks now. 

 

What a view though.

[mightysparrow]

Why aren't you comforting your son?  Damn Travis, you're such a disappointment.

[raven]

Tide's coming in, better get out of there!

[candall]

I've never understood why these people who were bitten request anything other than "be sure and shoot me in the head after I pass."

 

Your life span just became hours and you want someone to blow your brains out right now.  Wouldn't be my preference.

[wait.what]

Did Maddy seem just a little bit happy?

[raven]

Maybe there'll be swimming zombies?  Aw no.

[AimingforYoko]

If this had been TWD, Ofelia would be dead, Nick Would be dead and Strand would turn out to be The Governor, Part II. (Of course, he still might.) So Liza buying it is as close to a happy ending as we're going to get. 

I guess after Andy, Travis toughened up enough to do the job.

[ToniG]

Well, that was a little too late. Throwing thousands of zombies into the finale does not make up for five previous crap episodes, and a main cast that's simply meh.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

R.I.P. Liza..

[natyxg]

I spent the whole episode hoping a few of those assholes would die, and then the people I didn't want to see die, like Liza and the doctor, are the ones who bite it. Augh.

[wait.what]

How is he going to get to the yacht? Swim? Was it just anchored offshore all by itself? Can you do that? Wouldn't someone just come and steal an unoccupied yacht in the middle of the water? Or at least think it was weird?

[bmoore4026]

........................................I wonder how Tobias is doing?

[Lexx]

I don't think I'm going to be back next season.  With The Walking Dead, I liked most of the characters in the first season.  With this show, I like none.  I was sitting here waiting for the show to end so I could do other things.  That's how little I care about them.

[raven]

 

How is he going to get to the yacht?

I thought of that too.  I assume he's got a motorboat or something to take him out there, some kind of boathouse maybe that we haven't seen yet.

[natyxg]

So, the plan to attack the hospital was supposed to be Daniel's and it was supposed to be a bad one that was biased because of his earlier experiences with military people.... right? Cause it was very excessive to basically go straight to destroying the whole place with the hundreds of zombies instead of trying something more low key. They got a whole bunch of people killed unnecessarily, those assholes.

[nodorothyparker]

Sure, leave Liza's body out on the beach for her kid to find while you're playing From Here to Eternity with wife number two. The stellar parenting of this franchise continues.

[sluggish neko]

........................................I wonder how Tobias is doing?

I bet Tobias is already on that yacht with his trusty knife.

[natyxg]

I was thinking about this as I watched it and kept hoping they would get eaten. There's no one to root for here, they're all so... blah. I guess the rich guy is a little more interesting, I don't know.

[tennisgurl]

I still miss Tobias. 

 

Bye Liza. It was real, and you were actually helpful. Damn. 

 

Finally saw some actual action. I kind of forgot what zombies looked like. 

[Straycat80]

I think it's interesting they are going to escape on a yacht. But if the whole season is on the yacht that will get boring real fast.

I'm not sure I like anyone who survived. They killed off the only person I liked, Liza.

[truelovekiss]

Can they all please take a shower and put on clean clothes? And find a weapon and keep it with you at all times?

Nick sure won't.

[SoSueMe]

Chris Hardwicke is valiantly trying to inspire some post-mortem interest, but alas, he doesn't have a lot to work with.

[Iguessnot]

Why kill Liza before she's even sick? She could have imparted some medical knowledge before her send off. Did anyone actually see the house on the cliff tops in the final shots of the beach area? How did they get down those cliffs onto the water.

[Ohwell]

Travis is still a turd.  I hate him even more than I hate Madison and that's saying a lot.  

[wait.what]

So, season on a yacht, kinda like a season on a farm?

[raven]

 

They got a whole bunch of people killed unnecessarily, those assholes.

Well they knew the military guys were leaving and not taking anyone with them and were going to kill the sick people.  I doubt they would have handed over the family members, and actually the military took off and left people locked in the cages. So no, they were as concerned about collateral damage as the so-called authorites were and I don't blame them there.

ROTFL

 

Chris Hardwick just directed a question to Kim Dickens that began:

 

 "You didn't even blink when. . . "

 

 

[Ohwell]

Didn't Andy think Ophelia lured him to the house to get tortured?  If so, I can understand why he shot her.

[raven]

 

Why kill Liza before she's even sick?

I wondered about that too.  It seemed like she was going to kill herself before Madison showed up (long goodbye hug with Chris).  Why did she give up right away?  I guess she thought the infection would kill her quickly.  It would have been nice if someone tried to talk her out of it.

[bmoore4026]

I bet Tobias is already on that yacht with his trusty knife.

 

And a shitload of canned goods.

[Amelie06]

That was a nice ending shot of water. I thought to myself, they can't possibly end with us staring at water. I was wrong.

 

I'm interested in this whole yacht situation. I've been interested in the idea of getting out on the water for a long time. I don't know why the Atlanta crew isn't on a boat by now. But I guess it's hard to base several seasons of story on people arguing on a boat. Which is why I have no doubt that the entire next season of this show will focus on that.

 

Why couldn't Liza just wait a bit. No one had to shoot a living and somewhat healthy woman in the head. Why couldn't they just chill until she died? Chris is going to be insufferable next season.

 

Andy sucks. He should have shot Salazar. Bitch move, shooting Ofelia. Also, I call bs on that even happening. I don't care how pissed you are, no one is wading through a herd of walkers on the off chance they can run into their enemies in all the chaos. Stupid.
