Trying To Kill The Walking Dead?

I was going to shop at Mayestik today, South Jakarta for a change of scene, but rain has supervened again, so maybe later.

Instead, The Walking Dead…

.

.

…in which horrid beings, rather reminiscent of the illegal hordes assailing the borders of civilised countries in the real world….

.

.

…menace dauntless humans.

Alas, I do wonder if the script-writers have been instructed to make the once-gripping zombie series so boring that it will die a natural death.

Last month, we spent most of an hour sharing Princess’s boring flash-backs in the railway carriage where she’s currently detained by a mysterious group of (non-zom) hostiles.

She’s a recent addition to the cast, a rather dimwit chick who always wears a peculiar purple jacket.

Then last week, we had Daryl, one of the best characters…

 .

 Daryl and Carol

. .

…wandering around the woods collecting spare parts for his motorbike;

That was interspersed with the formerly heroic Carol chasing a rat around her kitchen!

For pity’s sakes!

.

How boring can it get!

I’ll watch this week’s in an hour or so and report back.

But I get the impression they want to turn off their fans – perhaps in preparation for discontinuation?
