Zombies are kind of passe. There was a ton of zombie stuff the past few years. Books, TV, movies. Kind of like Vampires (Fuckin' Twilight), or Post-Apocalypse in general. I'm hoping they cycle Aliens back, though "Witches" seem to be petty popular lately.

a post alien invasion TV show, focusing on groups of survivors that struggle through life in the annihilated ruins of cities, avoiding bad survivors and alien resource pillaging operations as well bored off duty aliens hunting them for sport, while the planet is getting completely stripped of life and resources.

I won't be shocked of Michonne kills the Gov during the offensive. I don't think the writers won't allow her to get her revenge.
I wouldn't be surprised if she cuts the tank in half with her sword at this point.

Well a grappling hook and chain was enough to kill a tank in Fast6. Maybe Daryl can hook a string to his Xbow and flip it.

It's called Falling Skies.

Kinda.

It's on par with Walking Dead, tbh. It could be a LOT better than it is, and they use the children crutch, and it's not campy enough to really break into being a cult favorite.

But if you were 15 or 16 years old -- it'd be a pretty decent show.

Edit: It's generally lazy, but not offensively lazy.

The show flirts with being compelling, but then almost instinctively jerks back into nonsensical writing and implausible behavior. Dubiously, this is still a vast improvement from other seasons.

I had no idea this was a thing already. Is it any good?




About this tank thing, is that ancient tank still in service in the US military? I thought they were phased out long ago for the M1 Abrams.
falling skies is alright. it has awesome moments woven into boring melodrama

I couldn't get past the first season of Falling Skies. The writing is just as bad as in TWD but without the novelty of zombies and the potential of hated characters being devoured for our entertainment value. Instead we are treated to naked CGI aliens / their robot buddies + an overabundance of children and the usual boring drama that seems to always surround them but with an added twist. To make it worse "save the children!" is the primary plot point for at least the first season.

Back to TWD

Was I the only one rooting for the zombie to win the tug of war under the camper last episode?

the writing stays corny, but the show got a lot better after season 1. season 3 was pretty sweet though i agree, it shares alot with TWD. including the neckbeard dad lead character.

Welp vaginas, let's hear your bitching this week.
They can find enough fuel to keep a tank running and drive it around the countryside? What kind of mileage does an M1 get? I would think they would need thousands of gallons of diesel.

We don't know how far they've drove the tank to be honest, He could have just drove it from base and parked it there.

Episode was okay, next episode is the mid season final so I'm sure the Gov's group will win and will end with Ricks group fleeing or captured.

Or somebody gets captured and dishes dirt on who the gov really is. Gov goes nuts chases somebody through a. field, a warehouse then when it looks like they will reach safety he will pop up behind them like a ninja.

I want to know who came in all ninjalike and jacked that group of campers in the woods. Gov's group sees campers, lets them live. A little while later, come back and someone has managed to wipe out the entire group, steal all their shit, and be long gone already. What outstanding timing!

Well if you are going to nitpick that explain 5 groups of people going out on daily supply runs within miles of each other and never hearing those loud ass trucks, cars being floored all the time or running into each other or seeing signs of each other.
When there is no power and traffic or noise pollution you can hear things like that from 1-2 miles away. Hell on a quiet night I can hear the train come by my town and it is 4 miles away and I can hear the wheels and that is inside the house with things running.
