Move On

I've got a bone to pick with a couple of my television shows:
They're not moving.
The story doesn't seem to really be going anywhere. It's just a lot of side story lines.


That's right, How I Met Your Mother. I'm talking to you.

Now, I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but this season has been within TWO DAYS. That's not an exaggeration. It's still the weekend of Barney and Robin's wedding, but each episode has only been a few hours later past the las episode. Nothing is happening. Nothing is moving the over arching story-line. At first it was no biggie. It was entertaining. Now, I'm just tired of waiting. That's why I haven't thrown a fit to see the last one yet.

And then there's Once Upon a Time, which hasn't been as bad, but...
They're still on the island. They're still looking for Henry. They're still fighting among themselves.

The character's have moved on a bit.
I mean, they did find Neal/Bae. He wasn't dead, yay. Hook and Neal are now in a heated love triangle with Emma, and they're not hiding it. David got a fatal poison, then Hook helped him cure it, now he can never leave the island. Regina left the Charmings for Rumple to find Henry. Ariel's giving us some insight into Storybrook...

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it. I just don't want the whole season to be about getting Henry back. There's no movement. We want Storybrook! I miss the Enchanted Forest, too.


Come on, shows. I love you for a reason. Give me some movement!

The Walkers

Alright. I avoided it as long as possible. I couldn't hold out.

I'm addicted to the Walking Dead.

Everyone who works at the optometrist office that I work at watches this show. They talked about it constantly. Honestly, I got sick of having all those conversations going over my head, so my roommate and I decided to start the show on Netflix...

It took us maybe two weeks to watch everything on Netflix, and considering we both go to school full-time, work almost full time at the office, and I have a job at the newscast on campus, this is quite a feat!

I'm now waiting a week to watch new episodes on Sunday like everyone else.
Netflix spoils you. You don't have to wait between episodes...it's just "Play Next Episode."

Anywho. Spoilers.

We're now waiting for Daryl, Michonne, Ty, and that alcoholic guy to return to the jail with the meds

from the vet college, and for Rick to return with the food and stuff from that neighborhood. No Carol since Rick exiled her for killing Ty's GF and that other guy like Simba and Pride Rock did to Kovu in Lion King 2.

Now, I haven't read the graphic novels, but I know the television show has taken certain artistic liberties with characters and events. It makes me wonder if the comic is the reason for Carol going loco. I thought her character was whiny and annoying, and that surely she was be killed off or receed into the background once they "found" Sophia. But no. She went crazy.

AND I think that little girl in Carol was molding to be able to take care of herself is CRAZY. Her little sister even said she ain't right in the head. Carol sent her into a cell with a knife, with a bunch of sick people that are more than likely going to die. How do we know she won't do like Carol and kill people before they die from the sickness?

Then there's Glen. Glen, my dear. He's been getting a tad on my nerves since the Governor went crazy on Maggie, but I still love him and he CAN NOT die.

But Daryl is my favorite. You know, I had a feeling when his character returned from hunting to fin out that is crazy brother was handcuffed to a rooftop in a zombie infested Atlanta that I would like him. Not that I liked him at the time, it took a while, but I had a feeling. You can kill Rick, Carol, Sasha, Ty, CARL, even Judith, but leave Daryl be!

And, I'm now counting down the days to Sunday like everyone else.
