Hey JesusMonroe, do you ever vote on the polls? I ask because I can never find your name on the list.
Oh shit. I never knew that you could see what other people voted. No, I don't vote on polls, whether I think an episode is excellent or poor. To be honest, I don't think there are enough options lol. I don't need 10 (perfect, amazing, great, good, above average, average, below average, bad, terrible, shit) but I think there should be at least 5. I feel like "fair" constitutes "not good, not bad" so there probably should be a rating between poor and fair. It seems like too large of a gap to me.
So? Next week's episode might be amazing, and you wouldn't want to miss out on that if it's the case, would you?
(I will watch next week's episode since I promised Koibito, but I'll continue the post anyway)
Next week's episode might be amazing. If it is, that'll be fan-fucking-tastic. However, I keep thinking about how all of the Walking Dead's poorest episodes have followed its strongest. I'm just a bit apprehensive
It's just my opinion and I don't think it's invalid. This isn't a young show trying to find it's way or an audience. It's a mature show nearing the end of its 4th season. If you still think episodes are or can be 'poor', why watch the show? I'm not saying every episode is great, or has to be great. Of course there will be down episodes. The only episode I would rate 'poor' is the one where Lori was eaten whole. If someone thinks or expects that multiple episodes a season are or will be 'poor', why watch? Find something better to do with your time. And this isn't just about TWD. It can apply to any show.
Your logic doesn't make sense to me. You seem to not like most episodes, but you make it seem worthwhile just because you liked After. Why watch a show you seem to not like overall hoping for that golden nugget episode?
I'm not really saying 'don't watch'. More like I'm asking the question why are people that don't like the show still watching it?
Now that I know you can see who voted poor, I can firmly say that you're wrong. I know 3/6 of the people who voted poor, and they always give fair reviews, including many positive ones.
The flaw in your opinion is that you're assuming anyone who didn't like the episode is just somebody who's hate-watching the show, hoping it'll get better, when that's not true. Some people just didn't like it for reasons that were already listed by others
