with both Fear and TWD is there has been too much switching and swapping. Too many people have been in and out of 'being in charge'. Too many ideas, no one sticking to one solid storyline. They can't seem to allow one storyline to finish out before they have some type of drama between showrunners and before you know it they are making the announcement that Susie Q is in charge this week.
I agree with what you are saying. TWD has way too many people in it now and a leader in each location; you can't keep track of everyone and screen time gets wasted on characters you care nothing about.
I think the recent change up in Fear is making a difference. I stopped watching Fear after about episode 3 in season 2. I didn't like the characters, didn't like the storylines...... I started watching with the first Morgan episode this season. I liked it....I like the new characters, I like the few characters they've kept from the original cast (and was so glad the others are gone), I like that I didn't have to go back and rewatch seasons 1-3 to get caught up...I can just start at season 4 and nothing that happened prior matters, and it's now just what TWD was originally - a small group of survivors on the road trying to survive.
I realize TWD is following a comic, I realize the fans of the comics have iconic scenes that they want to see played out, unfortunately, just because it worked in the comic doesn't mean it transfers well to the screen. Some of it works, some of it doesn't. And the storylines would move quicker if they wouldn't have episodes of "fillers" that take the storyline no where.
exactly. some of these filler episodes are torture. I'm so over Alicia & Charlie on FEAR and several people on TWD. I would love to just go back to season one of TWD and completely commitment to a few storylines, back to the original bones of the show.
I've watched every episode of Fear but I'm even over that too kinda. Maybe I'm just done with zombie stuff. Maybe I want more survival.
