Haha yes, i know I was expecting that comeback as soon as I posted nick
, but you understand what I mean? There cannot be action every episode or that would soon get boring too.
While I agree it wasn't a memorable episode, I disagree with many on here saying that they are just making episodes for episodes sake. It's unrealistic for there to be a badass episode full of action and killing and suspense every single episode. This type of episode is important in building a backstory so that the exciting stuff can occur in future. Maybe it's just my obsession with the series, but i still quite enjoy episodes like that.
Yes, get all that, but we're not stupid and the makers of the programme aren't stupid either.
Are they honestly saying they are not dragging it out? That the episodes HAVE to be dragged out like this?
I have filmed a bit of stuff in my time and I know quite a lot about scripts and have read a lot of film and TV scripts too.
They could have very, very easily indeed have had a 15-20 min section about Carol, Morgan and the Kingdom, but then switched to Alexandria for the aftermath of the two tragic killings. Could have been balanced 60/40, 70/30, even 80/20. That episode on Monday simply didn't warrant a full episode.
To have no mention of the Saviours and no scenes at all about the Negan incident was quite ridiculous. As an audience you are baying to see the aftermath, the reaction, the differing voices heard and of the impact upon the group.
There is absolutely no reason at all to have one whole complete episode just about Carol meeting the king of a new settlement.
Padding central.
No-one is expecting high octane and lots of killings and high drama every episode, but the story could easily be moved on while at the same time introducing new characters and a new settlement.
Seems clearly obvious they are looking at it all and thinking 'Hmm, we need to fill 16 episodes here.'
An awful lot more padding to come I fear.
