So, S6 is in the books
Just in case anyone is still watching, what are your thoughts on the season in general? Did you like the season finale? Judging from the lack of activity in this forum it looks like most have jump ship.
shareI still enjoy it but it is getting pretty ridiculous. In the sub they know they have to get to the missile room asap but just stop to have a lengthy conversation and take their time. Then as another thread says --- June just happens to run into John's father. Then the father has a past with Teddy. Pretty far fetched.
shareThe show-runners talked about the whole Teddy/John Dorie Sr. story on The Talking Dead after the show last Sunday. If I remember correctly, at the time they were sitting around talking about future story-lines and remembered John telling June about his dad pursuing a serial killer and wound up compromising his oath as a law enforcement officer to get a conviction and that's how the whole thing came to be. On paper the story was thin and rather ridiculous but both Keith Carradine and John Glover each brought such great performances to the table that the story was worth watching.
The thing about this show for me is it started with what should have been a tight-knit story of how a family deals with the emerging apocalypse in L.A. then after just six seasons and several ludicrous villains later winds up as a rudderless free-for-all and a large portion of Texas being nuked via a beached nuclear submarine. Why did it have to be a beached submarine? What pushes a ship that size that far inland? A tsunami...in the Gulf!? Given the absurd "reality" of this show, I guess the zombie crew just drove the damn thing ashore.
