As I mentioned a few posts ago, I\u2019ve been churning my way through two and a half seasons of The Walking Dead<\/em> to try and catch up.\u00a0 Naturally, as I\u2019m nearing the finish line, unbeknownst to me, I was days away from the premiere of season 11, and just as I\u2019d be finishing up, there\u2019s already more fucking TWD available to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

But fuck that.\u00a0 After finishing season 10, I\u2019m fucking done for a little bit with TWD, and I need a god damn break from TWD.\u00a0 I fully understand and get why the show, regardless of its actual ratings, seems to feel like it\u2019s being abandoned by those in my peer groups and those people I communicate with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s basically a live-action version of Dragon Ball Z<\/em>, in the sense that the cadence of the show is basically the very definition of the meme shown above of most shonen anime.\u00a0 The residents of planet Rick come across some shitty people bent on killing them, they band together and overcome them, and without missing a beat, the next episode, and sometimes in the very same episode as the penultimate finale, the next big bad shows up and the whole cycle starts all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the span of ten seasons of TWD, we\u2019ve had the Governor, twice actually threaten the cast and be repelled.\u00a0 Then they traveled north and ran into Negan.\u00a0 Then came Alpha and the Whisperers.\u00a0 And not even one episode after them, they introduce the seeds of some new groups of bads, with the people hunting Maggie\u2019s crew and the people in West Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take a genius to know that season 11 is just going to be more of the same, except that it\u2019s branching off into separate storylines, like it were a season of Game of Thrones<\/em>.\u00a0 It\u2019s like the sacred timeline has been deviated from because the group has branched out, but either way it\u2019s going to be basically two sets of the meme up above, until the paths of the characters eventually reunite, only to take on the next greatest evil ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, the last few episodes of season 10 were a definite weird way to end a season, and by doing so, they really did put a stamp on the cadence of the show to where I have no qualms with taking a fucking break from TWD, crossing it off my list, and moving onto some other show(s) to watch in my very limited time of television.\u00a0 I\u2019ll let the episode queue build back up, so I can marathon it, because frankly I couldn\u2019t imagine watching TWD episode by episode again anymore, after running through as much of it as I have over the last few months.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
