Kurt’s Blog: I Know What’s Wrong With The Walking Dead

(NOTE: SPOILERS FROM LAST NIGHT)

So, I’m watching The Walking Dead last night….and I, admit, I’m sour on the show right now. I thought the first episode of the season last week was ridiculous….and not in that fun way.

So last night…I’m watching…and I admit (I’m admitting a lot this morning) I have no idea what Rick and the Gang are up to. We’re looking for the Saviours, right…got it…but we’re all over the place right now….and Negan has vanished, of course.

I’m watching them last night shoot up a bunch of Saviours, who I have no idea who they are…and besides the 3-4 folks from Alexandria that have been featured before, I don’t know the other 80% of the folks shooting on “our side”. So, now I have people I don’t know shooting up people I don’t know.

No suspense.

Then, I’m watching Morgan bust open doors…and shooting people…and then what????!?!?!? Morgan is shot…he’s down!! NOOOOOOOO!!! Oh please. We went to commercial…I got up to get some more Halloween candy…and sat back down….he’s fine. We all know he’s fine.

NO SUSPENSE. 

Do they think we the fans really think that’s how Morgan is going out? That was ridiculous.

Oh no…Aaron is shot…I’m sure he’ll pull through…and if he doesn’t…well, it’s just another minor character in peril. Snooze.

Everyone could see that saviour turning the tables on Jesus….no suspense….and what…Jesus or Tara getting shot? Yeah, that’s not happening. There wasn’t one second where I thought “Oh no, they’re in trouble now”.

This show lacks any semblance of suspense…and has just become very bland….oh, and too many “dream” sequences. We wasted a good 90 seconds at the beginning and end of the show with weird dissolves of our favorite’s faces. So weird.

I should have kept bingeing Stranger Things 2 last night. Darn it.

Walking Dead…get…it…together.

‘Scary Movie’ tops box office, slaying ‘Masters of the Universe’ and adding to low-budget streak

The summer box office is booming — but not because of the usual suspects. After three weeks of indie horror dominance at the box office, the slasher spoof "Scary Movie" topped ticket sales with $55 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, easily besting the far-from-mighty "Masters of the Universe."

Carolina trails Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final and has a big decision to make for Game 4

A sequence of events in a Stanley Cup Final that has gotten crazier by the minute has put the Carolina Hurricanes at a crossroads. They blew a two-goal lead and lost Game 1, erased a two-goal deficit and won Game 2, and rallied from down four goals in Game 3, only to lose in double overtime on a fluky bounce.
