The Walking Dead

Season 5

People are the real threat now". - Rick

The Walking Dead as a show itself as been like a mix relationship for me, because we will have one great episode and then a terrible and boring one that I had to ask why? Season 4 was the season of filler. I'm not kidding you nothing happened in that season beside the Governor attacking Ricks group, and the writing was all so messy in season 4. So I was very shady about season 5 and what can the writers do to win me over again. Well let me tell you something about Season 5 of The Walking Dead, and that is it's ten times better than Season 4.

I felt that season 5 had a lot of things moving and there wasn't much of filler episodes in this season which I'm so happy about, because filler episodes are the most forgettable ones, it's a true fact. I also thought the writing has improved a lot with the dialogue that doesn't feel boringly thought out by the writers that only want to go home for the day.

The character arks are another thing that's improved in this season, because you can see the group slowly melting away into full crazy by this world that they living in and how it's eating their minds away. But in the other seasons you never got that, you know what we got, pointless talk to talk between the characters talking about something that really isn't all that important and then the episode ends. Some people call that character development well I call it lazy writing and how is it character development when two characters stare at each other telling each other that they hungry and how their feeling, really.

I got to give credit to Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes as he gives a great performance as the furious and more cold Rick. Andrew is the only reason I watch The Walking Dead because these something about Rick as a character that always keeps me watching. The rest of the cast did great as well.

I'm looking forward to Season 6 to see what's next, and what else the show brings even if it is part awesomeness or upsetting.
