TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

The recorded interview thing was a heck of a plot device to show us everyone's state of mind.

I particularly enjoyed Carol's vice president of the PTA act.

And her fumbling with the gun. Not sure it made sense given that they've been watching them for a while.

Alexandria also built their walls backwards, but I'll overlook it.

Thank you.

So wrong for so many reasons. Structurally, strategically, safety-wise, etc.

Suppose for a second that, unlikely as it is, those beams are anchored in sunken concrete piers, which is about the only thing that would give them structural value. That would mean that they had access to that much concrete and re-bar. That would mean they transported it in the middle of a zombie swarm. That would mean they knew how to mix, pour and cure concrete. That would mean they had the man power to do it. It also means they were working OUTSIDE of the walls during this long, complicated, labor-intensive process. EVEN if all that is true, support beams are more effective when pushing against force rather than being pulled by it. So they did it the hard way, the dangerous way and the least effective way.

Add on that they provide convenient climbing points of entry and egress for non-zombie threats and it makes zero god damn sense at all.

The glorious Alexandra Daddario had one scene in the pilot episode of "Last Man on Earth".

Best episode of Better Call Saul yet IMO.

Very good, but i'm ready for the full-on Saul Goodman action to pick up. Enough with the sad sack tire spinning and the brother stuff. I'm excited for next week which appears to be the beginning of his relationship with Mike.

The whole brother story line is wearing thin on me

I haven't seen BB, so I don't have that same perspective, but if it means Bob Odenkirk gets to loosen up a bit, which he did last night with a bit more comedy, then I'm all for it.

I'm late to the game here, but we bought Mad Men last night and started watching that. 2 episodes in and I really like it. Is the general consensus that it's a pretty good series?

I found it pretty boring and every character unlikable. I liked the ad agency stuff. Didn't like the soap opera outside of it. I think I lasted two and a half seasons or so.

I believe it's still a critical darling though, but something about the pacing of the last couple seasons has sort of damaged the conversation.

Whichever season it is (5 or 6?) where Don has an affair with Linda Cardellini, that was a low point. I'd say before that and after it's been fine.
