Walking Dead Need A Spring In Their Step!

Two weeks in a row now, The Walking Dead has offered us lack-lustre episodes, a grave (ooops!) disappointment after a good start to the new series.

…even to the extent of having a fierce fight with the sensible black guy named Morgan.

Last week vast amounts of time were wasted on introspective breaks, navel-gazing, Rick in a dwam (Scots for day-dream!) imagining a bucolic, idyllic future.

He had a fine opportunity to take out significant baddies, Negan and four of his lieutenants, who foolishly stood there on a balcony to shout at the good guys – it could have been a rifle range, but no shots fired for ages.

Who’s dafter, Negan and Co for presenting themselves as sitting ducks, or Rick’s team for not blasting them?

At least the reggae style ‘King’ wth his pet tiger is good value, a confident leader.

But I’m not confident WD viewing figures are going to improve if the current pathetic standard doesn’t.

At least we can switch our stay-home evenings to Wednesdays…
