The soundtrack is super distracting. 

[MostlyContent]

'Fly back across the mountains together' to WHERE?   

I am definitely missing the plot.  lol

[MrsRafaelBarba]

That speech made my ears bleed.

[SamBeckett]

Are they deliberately being corny?

The Denim Factory?

Where Max Headroom is.

[nodorothyparker]

So maybe I'm missing something because I've only seen the tail end of the last episode, but they've now adopted what looks like a couple dozen kids and they're still harping on that tiny little plane? When they have all those trucks?

Ahhhhhh.  Thank you!  I forgot they were somewhere 'across the mountains'.🤣

[raven]

Who's Grace? 

Oh, that lady.  NM.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

No dude, not the Stick Fu

[SamBeckett]

Are we going to have an entire show of Morgan looking for a new stick?

Cue the cheese!

[raven]

FTWD: S05:EP:06 - The Search for the Perfect Stick

[MostlyContent]

Cute scene.  Morgan just wants his stick back!

[nodorothyparker]

So mop handle beats field hockey stick?

Wasn't that plane in a bunch of pieces? And why are they taking plane repair advice from a bunch of kids?  Oh who cares?

[raven]

I know it's played for humor but she just looks dumb for not wearing some kind of mask while clearing that.

[SamBeckett]

I know nothing about planes, but I think the outside of the plane is the least important. I think it’s the super-complicated and intricate engines that are ... you know, critical.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

I getting Lizzie vibes from that girl.

Now, that would have been more fun if someone got beheaded.

[chick binewski]

Creamed Children of the Corn.

I'm sorry.

[tiredofwork]

So we are doing the Flight of The Phoenix plot now....

[Zombness]

Oh!!! The new stick works!!!  Hurray for Morgan!!

[raven]

Just now, chick binewski said:

I'm sorry.

Don't be!!!

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Dear Idiot Showrunners...

This is pure bullshit and the equivalent of Sominex.

[nodorothyparker]

I'm disappointed the flying propeller didn't take out a few of the now slightly less filthy children of the corn or at least a couple of stray walkers. 

Work with us, show.

[raven]

"We're wasting time out here"

We all are, Dwight.  We all are.

[nodorothyparker]

Oh God, please don't tell the story of Negan.  Please don't.

[nodorothyparker]

John is sweet and all, but he and June were in the same general area and likely not separated by years.  This optimism seems wildly over the top.

[chick binewski]

What? Pretzels? Canned cheese? What dis the leave behind? Do we care?

[raven]

The plane is important, right?   I'm not sure about anything else.

[Zombness]

Me neither!!

[MrsRafaelBarba]

They're stretching it thin with FTWD.and another spin-off is coming.

[raven]

Ooh is that a man-made block??  Is something happening???

Oh fuck, back to the dull plane repairs.

[Jennv]

This shit just keeps getting dumber and dumber. I’m sad because I really liked this show, but this season is off the rails. No way in hell this hodge podge of misfits can figure out how to rebuild a plane. That is unbelievable enough, but what is the point of throwing in the nuclear reactor spill bs too? Not to mention Sherri is dead. Even if she wasn’t, like he would really be able to find her via scavenger hunt style notes left here and there for months, or years. Shit there have been so many time jumps between this and walking dead I can’t keep track of how long it has supposedly been. 

[raven]

*lectures show*

See, show, I like the cast.  I thought we could maybe have something interesting going on.  Instead you are separating everyone AGAIN, gave us a boring bottle episode AGAIN and brought in a bunch of children of the corn, because well, I don't know why?  Has anyone watching these shows said "let's bring in a bunch of kids"  like, ever???? 

I'm disappointed in you, show.
 

Also, I'm sick of the PLANE!!!! No way these people can fix a PLANE!!! Didn't they just crash the damn PLANE???

*grumbles*

[Jennv]

Oh ffs screw this brat Annie, if she wants to leave let her go. There isn’t enough room on that little shit plane for all these people anyway 

[nodorothyparker]

If nothing else, this show has convinced me I'm fucked when the ZA happens.  I don't know how to fly or single handedly rebuild a plane or thwart a nuclear meltdown.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

That woman Grace or whatever looks like Mrs .Morales from S1.

Yes, but - can you twirl a stick? 

[nodorothyparker]

Not well.

Enough with the damn scavenger hunt.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Is it wrong, that I miss Travis?

[chick binewski]

I promise I would care about this kid if I knew who the hell she was.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

I  call her Lizzie 2.0

[raven]

Isn't it a thousand degrees out?  What is the purpose of that hat?  Not to keep her hair clean.

I had hopes for this episode because of Strand and Dwight and Morgan and arrgggh.

Well, I can’t make cheese, but I can eat it. Close enough?

Sounds good to me!

I am 100% unmoved by this kid's story.  Everyone has a sob story and this one is not affecting my cold, dead heart.

Annie!!  Her name is Annie!  Thanks, Alicia.

[SamBeckett]

The problem with sob stories is that we’ve heard them all, and told by better actors and from characters we cared for.

[MostlyContent]

This is suppose to be an action show.  That requires ACTION, does it not?  Not just a bunch of Negan-babble interspersed with long, sad looks.  ugh.  

[raven]

Not good when the most exciting part of the episode is The Terror preview.

[nodorothyparker]

Alicia is not an unattractive girl but these camera angles and close ups are doing her no favors.  She looks like a bug-eyed cocker spaniel listening to this story.

She always looks DEAD behind the eyes, Soulless.

[SamBeckett]

Kirkman hit the nail on the head (pun intended) when he said there are no new stories left to tell. This season on this show certainly underscores that. Even something seemingly new (crisis over broken planes) is old (groups being separated as something bad approaches).

I was going to comment on that but I didn’t want to be yelled at for being a sexist pig.
