Mid season and stuff

ITB

The Walking Dead is half way through the season and is now off for two months or so. I’m kind of indifferent about the mid season finale. Overall it’s been a rather strange season as most of it has been pulling taffy. They stretched out Glenn’s fate for a month. Daryl has barely been used. Morgan has been bringing in an irritating angle of drama that I think everyone wants to go. The kid playing Sam is really good because he plays a basketcase really well. The problem is everyone wants the basketcase to go. I call him Dogfood because that’s what anyone next to him is going to be turned into he’s such a liability. The cast could use some trimming.

I’ve been liking Gotham this season so far a lot. I’m not a big fan of Michael Chiklis as Captain Nathaniel Barnes because the character is just a walking cliche. I’m digging just about everything else. Satisfying half season arc that seems to have come to a conclusion that was well played out. Bruce Wayne is being used just enough I think and he learned some serious lessons in the last few episodes that will shape his adult self. Selina Kyle is great, the growth of Riddler is cool, Penguin is always great. I’m still surprised they air the show at 8pm, it can get really violent.

I look forward to Into The Badlands every week because there’s nothing else like it on TV. Good companion show to TWD and it’s going to remain on during said show’s break so I still have something great on Sundays to check out. Really like the way the show looks, the fighting remains on point and I hope they can keep up the quality.

Ash vs The Evil Dead is so much fun to watch. I’ll take all the Ash I can get and a horror comedy show is such a good idea.  A lot of cool ideas, it doesn’t take itself too seriously and we even get some quality lore building (now that we know who Lucy Lawless is playing). The bookstore demon design is totally metal, that thing looks crazy. I hope they keep that kind of stuff coming. 4 more episodes after tonight!
