    Just plain boring. Scenes end and the characters are bored and you're asked to be bored along side them. I read the first 2, 1 star reviews and there on point. I didn't read the book. But if there is a book the director and producer should follow. Or write your own book.

    I tried to like it. Best part was Peck telling Ava that he accepted his death but didn't think it would happen to his wife. But then Ava just walks away. What was that?

    Only other decent part was the car crashes. But I didn't realize the drivers were committing suicide until I read some of the reviews. A better death would be driving off a cliff. Anyway, the scene ends with Fred solo finishing. Real boring stuff.

    Forget this movie. See Last man on earth with Vincent price, 1964, Italian made, dubbed. 10 stars for that.

    Then we see Mr Kevin is having coffee and a cigar. Wow. This movie bites. Crap acting. Except for Dennis Quaid. Crap dialogue. Scenes. Music. Too long. With commercials it's 4 and half hours long. Who has time like that. We get really uncomfortable and stupid scenes with his wife and girlfriend. The ending is crap too. We get a past story that goes nowhere. It's just a boring film. I can't even laugh about it. Except the part of the coffee. I'd like to know the genius who came up with that one. Brilliantly stupid. It's in all the commercials. And I always crack up when I hear it. I'm gonna have some coffee. No nothing fancy. Just a cup of coffee, and maybe a cigar. Yes, cigar.

    Random acts of nonsense. Rosy falls the miraculous cuts down a bunch of walkies and escapes. Dumpster Glen? Neeg and Mag conversation? What was that all about? Neeg can act, but he needs a better gig. Some of the walkie masks were clearly from the Halloween discount rack. Dar and Carol? Still going strong on their 3rd rate characters. Amazing really. Dar rides off into the sunset. Whatever happened to Dog? Eug is always good for comic relief. What's up with father Gab? Some idiot decided to kill of Carl (Coaerl). Ezqo takes over as governor. Maybe he'll turn evil. So they end this mess on fumes. We still don't know how the dead started to walk. Thanks for nothing.

    Story is a mess. One example, the lead actress finds a tied up girl in the cellar, then does nothing. Apparently in this world it's just normal. Some decent scenes and acting. But as a movie, Failure.

    Ok, we've got beautiful girls. A story of Nazi treasure. Battles. Deceit and Backstabbing. Zombies. Great music and scenery.

    My wants are different than most. I watch movies mostly as a backdrop as I practice the guitar. Sometimes what's on screen influences my playing, with the music or scenery.

    The story and effects are not great. The dubbing is bad. And the video transfer is also bad. But I'd rather watch this than a new Hollywood production, especially the Star Wars Farce Awakens, or any of that other nonsense.

    Do yourself a favor and Read the Lovecraft stories before seeing the movie. You may then appreciate the movie

    Worst aspect for me was the somewhat TV production. Also, the main character kept throwing in comic one liners. Not cool. I hate that in all movies. It's unreal.

    Read the source material then see the movie. It's not a copy past from the story to film. But it works. I liked the way they were on top of the world one minute, then they're running for their lives.

    Rating a 7 or 8. 10 given for balance for low raters.

    First off, this isn't a dumbed down modern sc-fi action flick with a bunch of 3rd rate actors. The actors are great. Take a look at the foil, Hank, the train employee who unleashes the virus. This guy is great. As soon as he is presented you know he's going to screw things up. Later he says it is all his fault. And it's true. He then runs off thinking maybe he's the only one infected. Great acting.

    I saw this movie a few years ago. And I liked it. It's slow. Budget is low. Meaning they could have taken more takes. But the music is there. The shots are there. There's a shot of Charlie, the station employee, after hearing the virus activates when the person falls asleep, the camera zooms in and Charlie shuts his eyes for just a moment then opens. Great stuff.

    Check out the interaction between Jack and Jenny. The whole movie is slow. But it all works.

    Rating is a 7 or 8 stars. 10 stars given for balance for all the loser reviews.

    I first saw this in Jan of 2016 and gave it a D. Not quite failure because it had some interesting ideas. The evil demon coming out of the mirror, and killing the real person.

    So, I sat and rewatched this garbage again last night. My method of watching movies is alone, with a guitar. If the movie is good, the guitar goes in the background. I don't miss anything. If the movie is great, usually with great music, I'll play the guitar along and it enhances my playing. My main agenda of watching movies is to play the guitar. So, while I watched this garbage, the guitar kept me from shutting it off. I realized early on that the movie just had no style, and the filmmaker had no clue of how to produce a film. Example, showing cars going down the road, or nonsense BS conversations. How exciting!?! Most importantly we have no idea why or how these demons come out of the mirror. The only thing this movie had is the initial evil demon idea. And then the demon gets into a car crash and has amnesia, and doesn't realize she's the demon until the end. We can all see this coming a mile away. Tons of clues there.

    Now, I'm really concerned about the mental health of the reviewers who give this film praise. What school did you go to? Are you Ok? Can you add 2 + 2?

    Basically what we have here is an insane woman who with her husband lost their son in a Tsunami. Because of seeing footage of homeless boys in Burman, one of them blurred in the distance from the back wearing a red top, similar to the one their son wore, she is convinced it's their son. The husband is not, but goes along with her because she's hot. They hire gangster traffickers, eventually, they are abandoned in Burma with a bunch of cannibalistic feral boys, who kill the husband. The wife's insanity is completed when they accept her as their queen/mother, and she accepts them as her son(so).

    Totally wacky film. Nobody could have seen the ending coming. If the whole film is a setup for the way he is killed and she is accepted into the feral community, then it is a success.

    Worst part was the intro credits. They are so unnecessary large it is an unwelcomed attack on the eyes. The audio for the dialogue was also very low, sometimes unintelligible, especially for the wife.

    Where do we begin with this crap. The producers might as well just film cars going over the George Washington bridge and call it The Walking Dead. Just add music and a couple of shots of zombies.

    Last week we watched a couple of idiots, 3rd rate characters pretending to be in a zombie show. Now we are subjected to an entire episode to a 4th rate character. No offense to the actors. They are following orders. It's the writers of this crap.

    And what's up with the Star Wars Stormtroopers. Is there copyright infringement there? Where's Darth Vader? I'm waiting for Captain Kirk and Mr Spock to beam down.

    I can't go on. It's not even funny. Actually, listening to Eug speak is funny. Great actor. Although the character should have been killed a long time ago, along with Father Not So Father Gab. They should all have been killed when this show has some integrity left. Now we're down to zero.

    It's like going to see your favorite band and finding out the original guitarist, bassist, drummer, singer, and bongo player have all been replaced. We're left with a cheap cover band.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    Listen folks what we have here is show running on fumes. No gas in the tank, there's a hole on the floor, like the Flinstones, they're trying to run the car with their feet. And their feet stinks.

    I had to mute most of this and use it as a wallpaper as I practiced the guitar.

    The extra star goes to Father Not So Father Gab cracking up at Aar. And when Gab cold clocked the Stranger. And the acting work of the stranger.

    Gab is a fool. A coward. A loser. Aar, whatever. I wonder what happens when Aar is asleep and he's got an itch. That spike hand must come in handy. And that romantic dinner between these two sidewipe characters. Wow!

    The most unbelievable part was when the Stranger had D & D playing Russian roulette and then he was won over by kind words. And later to confirm the absurdity of all this we find that he had his twin brother chained up and probably killed his family. So, we're to believe this man within a few minuets turns from a hateful killer to letting D & D go. Yeah right!

    Where is all this going. Nowhere.

    We are all living in real life in a freaking horror show. And these morons can't produce chilling tv. Forgetaboutit.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    If I want to watch a cheap soap opera I'll tune in to Days of our lives, or How the world turns, or General Freaking Hospital, or Dynasty, or Dallas, or Soap, or just look at a blank wall.

    This particular episode is a disgrace to humanity, and an insult to all intelligent life anywhere in the universe.

    How dare you? You have a budget. I assume you all went to college and took some writing classes, and perhaps are well read, and that you can put words together to write a script and produce an original and chilling television.

    Well, you've really done it this time. You've turned Dar into a piece of garbage. I mean I was never a fan of this dude. Whatever, just another character. Mr. Lone Ranger. The last gunslinger. Clint Eastwood/John Wayne, Dirty Harry etc. But now you throw him in a cheap soap opera, copy paste from Fear The Walking Soap Opera, Cowboy John/Nurse June episode. And that was actually a decent episode. This was garbage.

    It all starts with Dar, for some dumb reason is looking for his But Brother King Dick Rick. For What? He wants to end Dick's walking? Who knows.

    After Dar and Mag dumbness of last week, we get Dar and Carol Not So Rambo. Then flashbacks, 5 years earlier, 6 months later, 2 days and 3 hours later, 16 years before, flash forward 232 years later, etc. Completely ridiculous. Someone's got some Splainin to do here.

    Dar meets Girl. Girl hates Dar. Dar hates Girl. Dar likes Girl. Girl likes Dar. Girl gone. Then we have to sit through Dar verbally abusing Carol. Nonsense.

    As far as I'm concerned, Carol saved everyone at Terminus, so, everyone should just sit the hell back.

    This is not a tv show anymore, it's a full frontal attack on the human senses. Shame on the producers. Go back to school.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    This show makes me tired. At first I started cracking up, then I started switching between this and a great film by Joan Crawford, The Damned Don't Cry. I was never a fan of Crawford, but even watching one short scene with her and you'll see what real acting is like.

    Anyway, I can't list every idiotic decision made in the TWSO. Basically, it lacks the talent needed to produce an interesting and original show. This is supposed to be about dead people looking to kill and eat you. We don't get that. We get drama. Drama with Mag in her Indiana Jones Outfit. She leaves Little Glen with babysitters. What mother does that? Oh, yeah, Mic, she freaking left her kids. We're supposed to buy all this?

    As another reviewer mentioned, Little Glen probably witnessed the killing and torching of at least a couple of people, but no problem there, the kid is happy and just hanging out, literally on a branch. It's Saturday morning cartoon hour.

    There has to be somebody in the production team that is in charge of logic. Rule #1, there are dead people looking to kill and eat you. So, all the actors must act like they are scared to death all the time. They shouldn't have any time to worry about interpersonal relationships. Neeg and Mic. Oooo, I can't wait. Maybe they'll hook up, and Little Glen will have a little evil brother Little Neeg. Let's get real folks.

    My only guess why the production team makes these dumb decisions, is that they think the audience is dumb thinking this is what they can relate to. And maybe they're right. But they are also causing the dumb. It's a vicious cycle.

    There is something even more sinister going on besides a stupid tv show. These people think they are producing a dumb zombie show, they must at least admit that. But they are also contributing to dumbing down of our society. Welcome to the age of the "Dumb" Phone. You thought the Stupid Tube was bad. Now you can take it with you. We are no longer human, but human plus, in other words, a freaking Cyborg, part of a collective. And the collective kills individuals.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    The main problem with these shows is that the producers assume that people watching will relate to the characters struggling with the zombie apocalypse will act like normal people, with normal emotions.

    Forgetaboutit.

    There are dead people looking to kill and eat you. All that soap opera emotion is out the window, like Rick after a fight with Neeg (twice).

    Realistically, it's in the name of the show "Fear", everyone should always be terrified all the time.

    Cowboy John only a couple of episodes ago performed self-dentistry, Mr. Macho Man. He could have had someone, wait for it, his wife, who is a nurse, done the dirty deed. But no, drama ensues, he yanks his own teeth. Ok.

    And now, he throws a Cowboy hissy fit and takes the fork to lala-land because he can't handle it.

    Boy, this makes me wish for the Jimbo Beer Balloon episodes and Filthy Rasta Wacky Woopy episodes.

    Just read Rob-O-Cop's review. Who, What, Why? No answers.

    Why was the ranger killed? Was is Virg who killed him? Why? What's up with the girlfriend who confessed? The old one earing clue trick. Then we see June.

    Most importantly, what the hell is up with the stupid bent hat on the side?

    This is a mess. First we're shown Cowboy John all happy going to work, all smiles. Then the murder mystery.

    Here's some advice to the writers: Go back to school. Stop trying to fill episodes with nonsense. Who was the girl? How are we supposed to care about a person we don't know? What's up with Virg? How about telling us what this community is doing, like what they're producing, or are they just living there? Give us some background. Something. Anything.

    I watch for laughs at this point. It's sad.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    What are we watching here?

    How about giving us some realist scenarios? If Morgy was so close to death that the "Walkers" ignored him, he should already be dead. Not to go through a whole episode of whining, no don't take the bullet out, no I won't help you, I don't do that anymore. BS. Then when the big bad guy comes in after being shot in his ax swinging arm, and Morgy his wound aggressively fondled, all of a sudden like Rocky in the last round gets super human strength and kills the big bad guy.

    So sad. This is what it's come down to. Propagating stupidity. Sometimes I question who is the intelligent species on this planet. People, who have built great civilizations, technology and information. Or the so called mindless insects who outnumber us but will survive when we finally kill ourselves with greed, evil, and stupidity.

    If you buy the nonsense that was presented as something that could happen then my fellow human, you are lost. You have become a mindless insect, minus the survivor skills. Please look up from your "Dumb" Phones and watch out for oncoming traffic, open manhole covers, and the diminishing of your thought processing and truth.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    So, our Heroes are surrounded. Again. For what the 20th time. How dumb are they?

    People, put down your "Smart/Dumb" Phones, look up and smell the roses. There may be a manhole cover missing, oncoming traffic, or a fool without a mask about to sneeze into your face!

    Nobody in their right mind would call this a serious show. 10 Stars are paid.

    What we get is low level story, dialogue, and BS emotional nonsense. What's the story with Lyd and Neeg, and Lyd and Carol Not Rambo. Carol was looking to jump off the cliff? For What? Then Lyd saves her. And we have to sit there and watch this nonsense.

    Beto, what happened to this guy? Seriously, The Whisps are the worst idea ever. People walking around in Halloween masks, limping like a crippled bipedal ape, and not taking a bath ever, allows them to mingle with the dead. And our Hero's? No mask. Faces completely uncovered, just like the fools walking around with the Virus.

    It's unbelievable. And that my friends is unforgivable. Where is the tension if we can't believe it? Then they off a Red Shirt, like we're supposed to care. Why not kill off Dar, or Carol, or Lyd, or at least get rid of that Father Not Father Coward Gab. Or Luke, his girlfriend, One Arm Aar. No, The Walking Soap Opera won't do that. They are all under contract. Man, they couldn't even kill off King Dick Rick. Mag was written off with a posted note. Mic was sent off on an errand, wait for it, leaving her Two Kids. If you but that, wait in like to purchase the Brooklyn Bridge. I believe it's up for sale.

    All of a sudden Mag shows up looking like 1940s Private Eye with a Ninja. And the more intelligent of our species would ask. How the hell did they get past the Beto's Horde? Answer, None. Captain Kirk and Mr Spock transported Mag and team there just in time to save Gab. We should have seen a brutal gutting of Gab by the Whisps, left just enough alive for the walkers to finish him off. That my friends would have redeemed this show somewhat. No, we get another Gab fakeout. Thanks for nothing.

    Then we have Eug and his psychobabble, King Why Do I Smile EZQO with disappeared howler monkey pouch from under his chin, Yumiko who does nothing, and a clown Spanish chick with a pink top. What the hell are we watching here? A freaking motley crew of rejects. What happens next? Stormtroopers. Yes, nice camouflage. Not.

    This show has been dead to me for many years. I was actually a fan. It used to be realistic, given that you can accept that the dead walk. That was the tension. And why it was so successful.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    I must commend the actors for Neeg, Lyd, and Jud. They did great with the material. However, the soap is so thick, it's unintended comedy.

    Let's just go back to basics. The Whisps? Wearing a Halloween mask and limping like a deformed bipedal ape allows them to "walk with the dead". Did I miss something? Remember King Dick Rick and Dumpster Glen covered with dead guts from head to toe to walk with the dead. How is it possible for Beto and his clan to "walk with the dead" with a Halloween mask? If you can't answer this question just stop it. You are illogical.

    And why don't our heroes do the same and turn the tables on the Whisps, like Dar and Connie did when they rescued Low IQ O'Henry and Lyd?

    So, we are led from one dumb scene to the next. The scene with Carol Not Rambo No More and Whatever her Face is was cringe worthy. Apparently Carol was a superhero. I'm thinking she should have died with her husband in Episode 2.

    10 stars, Be Best Reviews. If you are not being paid, you should be. If you genuinely love this show, good luck to you. When you listen to fools The Mob Rules - Black Sabbath, 1981. Why do our leaders make dumb decisions? Because dumb people believe what they say.

    Our real world is in trouble. Before the virus I was complaining about the Dumb Phones. People walking around like real life zombies paying attention to something on their screen rather than looking out for traffic. We went from the Stupid Tube (TV) to the Dumb Phones, and now we have a freaking Virus to deal with. How did it happen? Somebody was asleep at the wheel.

    It was a hoax, don't mess with the markets, only a few weeks ago they canceled sporting events and concerts and gatherings, only a few days ago they said wear a mask. How dumb are we? Plenty.

    The world should have stopped on Jan 1, came together with a unified response. Markets stopped. All essential workers tested. Everybody else go home in isolation. Food and Medicine delivered. What good is a check when people are dying, sick and afraid. If this is a war, then get on the war page. I'm angry. Not at the Walking Sopa Opera. That's just a stupid tv show. It's only crime is it adds to the dumbing down of our collective intelligence. It is not directly responsible for what's happening. If we don't wake up, we'll be dead.

    Good luck and be safe.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    Listen to Black Sabbath, Falling off the Edge of the World, from the Mob Rules album 1981, Dio singing.

    Forget this Walking Drama nonsense. I have it in the background as I practice flamenco guitar. Once in a while I'll see Eug with his psychobabble and that provides some Abbot and Costello comedy. EZQO is a laughing stock. Mr Why do I smile? Neeg and Dar the Tough Guy. Carol Not Rambo, more hallucinations. Anybody remember Morgy the Kill no Kill here to helper, hallucinating.

    I have news for you all, Alp will be in this show as a ghost for the next 20 years if the world doesn't end.

    Best part of this episode was with Neeg. However, that's a joke too. Neeg asks the Whisp with the gun, and the Whisp just hands it over to him. Comedy. Then the Neeg Verbiage. Everything is just completely unrealistic.

    What made The Walking Dead scary in the beginning was that it was realistic. If dead walk, normal people did normal things to survive. No more.

    What's going on in the real world is scary. People are dying, sick, and locked up. Unemployed. Paranoid to go out. To speak with neighbors. Nice job A Hole. Somebody was asleep at the wheel. And they put a band aid on a gunshot wound by sending a few hundred bucks.

    The whole world needed a united response. Shut down the markets. Everybody go home. Everybody wear masks. All essential workers tested. Infrastructure maintained. Sanitized food and medicine delivered to homes. This should have happened months ago. We have a defense department looking for physical attacks. Well, we've been attacked. Most likely unintentional. However, we know nothing. If, and this would be a conspiracy theory, that they intentionally set this virus on the world, and they already have a cure for a select few, then we are in the realm of dystopian nightmare. Why should they care if the sick and old die? They'll save a ton on Social Security checks and Medicare payments.

    What the hell do I know? I'm just a guy watching The Walking Soap Opera while I practice some guitar. Good luck. I think we need it.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    I pity the fools who actual enjoy this crap. At least the ones who are leaving the Be Best reviews are being paid. They have bills to pay. It's shameful on the part of the production to bombard these pages with fake reviews. The only way I made it through this crap is I had it in the background while I was working on the last piece of the Dennis Koster book, The Keys to Flamenco Guitar, "Solo Por Bulrias", on my Manuel Rodriquez C3 classical guitar.

    Here's the review. Mic on a gun run on the words of an idiot, is trapped, and drugged. What an Acid Trip. And that trip gives us a collage of alternate reality greatest walking soap opera hits. Then she finds clues on Rick, gets on the tele with Jud and Little Rick and all of a sudden she's off to find Rick. Garbage. This would never happen. She's a mother. She's got 2 kids. She's not going anywhere.

    Not only is the writing garbage, I don't see what the hip is with the actress. She makes these stupid faces. And she should have more integrity than to accept this poor writing. Rick left the show after being impaled, losing blood, up and down the horse, blown off a bridge, down the river, and onto a helicopter to a 3 movie deal. Mag left with a letter. A freaking letter. Mic leaves with tears leaving her 2 kids. Crap.

    No humor here. Just an empty frame. If it wasn't for the guitar practice. I would have passed out like some of the other reviewers.

    We, in the real world, are in real trouble. Real Trouble! While that battle continues, we need some distractions. Like a good tv show. A world with zombies does not have to be one of ridiculous convoluted mess of concocted unrealistic scenes only to serve a convenient plot, that lacks integrity for the show or its characters.

    Simple point, again, Mic is a mother with 2 kids, and she just takes off. You don't have to be a mother to find this ridiculous.

    Have we gone so far from the Stupid Tube to the Dumb Phones that our arrogance has destroyed our intelligence? The other night I look out the window and I saw one of my neighbors walking half the block with his head tilted down, holding a dumb phone. Why? Because he Must know what someone else is saying or doing. It so important? Here's the result: Neck problems, Hand incapacitated, eye problems, and the Brain dead from lack of interaction with the real world. This is the real Walking Dead. The dumb phones are a tool. Don't be the tool. Be smart. Be well. Be intelligent.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    Ok, so here we go. Carol apparently freed Neeg to infiltrate the Whisps, gain Alp's trust, then concoct a scheme to kill Alp. Still with me? Now, I missed a few episodes because I needed a vacation from this mind numbing show. But I'm back for the humor. If we all recall Neeg escaped because of 1 eye Father Not Father Gab was emotionally distracted. Then Neeg came back. This would never happen. But for storyline it must. Neeg could have killed Alp at any moment. Why even bother trying to capture Lyd? Because for dramatic effect. Lyd trying to get free, Neeg trying to convince Alp not to kill her, etc. The whole Neeg Alp relationship is not credible at all. That is the sad joke.

    I am glad Alp is dead. I couldn't stand her. Her stupid accent. Her logic/illogic. I still want to know when a Whisp drops a load in the woods does it make a sound, and do they wipe their arse. In either case it was a good scene. And for that the extra star.

    Everything else was just nonsense. Neeg bumping into One-Arm. Yumiko punching Carol. Carol should have punched back. Then Eug comes in with a stand up comedy one line.

    The name of the game is entertainment. The show itself at this point is an empty frame. No picture. But if you look deeper into the show and its followers, oh boy, there is a gold mine of laughter. And then there are the real reviews who praise the show. Then there are the ones who were fans, like me, who tear it apart. As it should be.

    As the world dies in the real world, I am reminded of what King Dick Rick said to the escaped Hilltop Saviors, "All a man's got left is his word", just before him and Morgy Killed Em All (Metalica). Well my friends, we don't even have that. Truth? Forgetabout it. We get "Be Best", Best Episode Ever nonsense. Good luck with that.

    The world before the virus was already going down hill. Arrogant idiots thinking they are special. Walking into oncoming traffic because it is so important for them to look at their Dumb Phones for what somebody on the other side of the planet is saying. These are the real walking dead. Rather than knowing what color the sky is, or stopping to smell the roses, or simply seeing what is going on in the Real world, they are locked into someone else's words. Let's face it. We are not as smart as we think. And shows like this just confirms and strengthens the decline in intelligence.
  • Warning: Spoilers
    So we spent an entire episode of Soap. Then the Hillbillies think with about 30 warriors they can kill thousands of zombies. Ridiculous. If we recall back, if that is still possible with our collective attention deficit disorder, we know that Dar and Connie disguised as Whisps infiltrated the Whisp camp as Whisps, caused havoc, killing a bunch of Whisps, and rescued Lyd and Dumb as a Rock O'Henry.

    Ok, given these facts. No fake news here. Why didn't Dar do the same with this Whisp herd? Anybody? How about you paid 10 star "Be Best" reviewers. Best Episode Ever. Oh, My God TWD is Back. Greatest acting in the world. What a bunch of crap.

    Then we have to listen to Alp and her stupid accent. Neeg? A joke.

    The Whips wear Halloween masks and this allows them to walk with the dead. And we have to accept all this? Forget about everything that we were shown with King Dick Rick and Dumpster Glen covering up from head to toe in zombie guts to "walk with the dead".

    We can all accept that zombies in a show about zombies can rise from the dead. But making a show unrealistic is simply unacceptable. On top of all that the soap just adds to questioning the intelligence level of the fans.

    Look, this show is adding to the dumbing down of our society. It is not alone. A prime example is the Star Wars series, not from the prequels, but with the Farce Awakens. A cheap copy past garbage of a film. Please wake up people, look up from your Dumb Phones and see the oncoming traffic before it's too late.

    Better Call Saul was great. There's a scene when Saul is recognized while in hiding. I won't say any more. Just watch.

    The walking brain dead? What can be said about it? It's story time written with crayons by 5 year olds. Same old nonsense. Soap. Characters acting out of character. What happened to Carol Rambo? She singlehandedly saved everyone in Terminus. She blew away a little girl in the back of the head. Now she's as dumb as a doorknob. Thanks for nothing. I skimmed through the reviews. It's all the same crap.

    Forget TV zombies. Watch out for the Phone Zombies. Morons walking around with their head tilted down, eyes peering at someone else's words, their hands holding the phone. Basically these people are being told what and how to think. They are blind to the universe around them. And one or both hands are useless, holding and manipulating the "Smart" phone. People, these are not smart phones. They are Dumb Phones. In the past they called the television the Stupid Tube. Because while you watch, the information just comes in and out, nothing is retained. In one ear out the other. The "Smart" phone of today is a whole lot worse than the Stupid Tube. It can also trace where you've been.

    People, we are living in 1984.With the Dumb Phones people are turned into Zombies. Hands are crippled useless, eyes are glued to them blinding the user, and brains are being told what and how to think. We have become zombies.

    The phone should be a tool. Once you become addicted, you are the tool. I hope this message wakes some of you up.

    The Walking Soap Opera contributes to the decline in intellect, by displaying weak stories, characters without integrity, and to top it off with a cheap soap opera. The zombies are a backdrop. They have nothing to do with the story. If you watch a zombie movie it should be about zombies. Not about Eug and Rosy hooking up. Or Alp and Neeg doing it. I don't care about any of that crap. I want zombies. I want info on zombies. Like how the hell did this whole thing start.

    Here are some recommendations for zombie movies: White Zombie, 1932, Bela Lugosi's best movie, real terror here. The Last Man on Earth, 1964, Vincent Price, pure dread. Night of the Living Dead, 1968, best Romero film. They are coming to get you Barbara. Messiah of Evil, 1972. Twisted.

    I just finished watching the season 4 finally. I watched the 1st season last week and I'm rewatching it again. The other seasons, for some reason, are not available on DVD. That sucks.

    First off, this show is great. Main reason, it's practical, the characters act as normal people given the situation they are in. Of course there are some cliché dialogue and there may be some plot holes. However, the acting is great on the most part. The cinematography is great, unique shots and movements. The editing may be a problem. The best part is the story. You can tell the producers are actually thinking humans.

    Unlike The Walking Soap Opera where drama/melodrama, unrealistic and dumb characters without integrity rule. Example most of the characters go through this BS of Kill/No Kill. Everyone from King Dick Rick, to Morgy, Carol Rambo, Coral. Mag wanted to kill Neeg for so long, then when she could, she just walked out. Nonsense. Neeg, a loony tunes character. EZQO, a Rasta Shakespeare with a Pet and Papier-mâché tiger. Jesus Ninja. Aaron TinMan, I wish I had a heart. Whisps - a joke, when they go #2 in the forest they don't wipe. The acting contracts dictate the storyline for Walking. An insult to viewers. Here's the biggest insult. King Dick was removed from the show by way of a piece of metal through his guts, tons of blood loss, a horsy ride, hallucinations, blown off a bridge, down the river and onto the check in line to a helicopter that took him to a 3 movie deal. My last episode of this sad show was just before the mid-season finally. It was a study for me to see how bad it could be. I'm done.

    Van Helsing is not The Walking Soap Opera. People get killed left and right. Brutally. Practically. Great scenes. Here's an example. When that 1st vampire bit Vanessa, he puked black crap, then passed out. The gang threw his body with the rest of the dead down a shaft. This dude reemerged as human, crawled out of the shaft, and walking around the corridors, all bloody and confused, calling out for anyone. The gang find him and he says he can feel again, as the camera moves in. Great.

    Great show. Not a 10. But 10 is left to balance the losers leaving 1 and 5.

    We have 4 reviewers: 1) Paid AMC/TWSO 10 Star "Best"

    2) Disillusioned former TWSO fans who will leave 7 to 10 stars because how dismal the past few years have been. Any shiny ball will make them happy. Aka high production value, camera angles, zombie kills, whatever.

    3) 4 to 6 stars, casual watchers who know this to be a failed Soap Opera with a Zombie backdrop, but just can't stop looking, similar to a tragedy. Hindenburg comes to mind. Oh, the calamity! The screams, the fire, the death.

    4) Me. 1 star. I watched for years and enjoyed like category 3, but knowing that AMC and TWSO is contributing to the dumbing down of civilization. Unforgivable.

    Characters acting without integrity. Survivors in convoluted contrived events that would only happen if an amateur writer without integrity or talent just wanted to move their idiotic plot.

    Examples - Carol doesn't tell Lyd that got a Whisp and that Alp lied to her people about killing her. Why not? What does Carol lose by telling her? Nothing. Lyd, just runs away like she had a falling out with her dysfunctional parents. Except for one major problem. There are dead people looking to put you on the menu.

    Sid, a loser character from the start. Dante - who the hell is this guy? Aaron, doesn't tell anyone about the zombiefied water. Why not? His conversation with Gam is unreal bubbly soap. Then Gam runs away after seeing Lyd. Gab? Why is this loser, Father Not Father still alive?

    The Whisps are a joke. Recap - Halloween mask, Stench clothing, Not wiping after going #2, and Walking like a deformed bipedal ape, somehow allows them to "Walk With The Dead" - BS Case in point. Rick and Glen covered with guts head to toe to "Walk with the dead"

    Here's the bottom line. This is the Zombie Apocalypse and we are witnessing a train wreck of a few communities, with characters who have no integrity, and events that are just too farfetched. It's an insult to the viewer's intelligence. 95% human conflict. 5% zombie time to justify the name Walking Dead.

    Nothing of how the zombies animated, where it started, what happened to the government or military. Nothing.

    Just a stupid Soap Opera. Best part. The captured Whisp eating jam. Excellent. Then he spit it all onto dumb low IQ High and Mighty Not Carol Rambo.

    So, my friends. I'm done watching. No hope left. But I will still be leaving the 1 star for the damage that this show and network have contribute to logic.
