  • Still, it is so far considered to be the best episode from either Season by most people, so I'd count it as a massive positive for him.

    It would've made it better if she explained why, or maybe she's just trying to seem tough.

    Breckon. Other than a few things mentioned, I don't really have an issue with him. AHD was still one of my favourite episodes in the series.

    I think it's a little unfair to compare them. Kirkman has written 10 years worth of comics material, and Nick Breckon has written(for The Walking dead) two episodes.

    Still, A House Divided was fantastic, and I think it was better than any of the episode form either Season... So that's a big plus.

    I won't say which one I think is better, but on an individual level, I think the closest Kirkman came to writing anything as good as A House Divided was the All Out War story arc, including the end which I thought was fantastic.

  • Eh, Breckon is okay I wish Vanaman was still there to write 'Season Two'. It'd be interesting to see how he would have done things.

    As for Kirkman I find him to be a good writer, and really I don't nind the ending to 'All Out War' as I feel he will build Negan up for another story-arc.

  • Well given the fact that she was forced to stay in there for days after the outbreak and up until Lee found her, I can't say that I blame her.

    I was shocked when she said that she hated it, it seemed really out of character for her to say that.

  • The only part I like more of season 2 from Breckon is that Clementine doesn't talk out loud like Lee did.

  • Not as much, yeah.

    This is actually a major complaint of mine. My Clementine is supposed to mirror the teachings of my Lee, and my Lee was the master of the obvious. How can Clem not follow in the footsteps of the great mind that noticed this:

    On a serious note, I don't mind it either way, but it does kind of make me nostalgic of Lee's painfully obvious remarks.

    I get what people are saying, when i first heard her say "i hated it" it sounded like she never liked it and always hated it, maybe she should have said something like option C.

  • Well, Darabont also helped make the basic framework of AMC's Season 2 and that didn't turn out as well once it actually was out of his hands. Just an extreme example, we might never know what could've been, whether for good or ill.

  • I'd put my best writers and their grandmother to write something like the Season finale.

    Compare it to a relationship.

    You may have loved your ex at one point, and you can't deny the fun times that you've had together, but that was the past. Now you hate your ex based solely on the last few days/months. Fun at one point, horrible at the end.

    So, a few bad memories tainted all her fondness in the treehouse? And damn, my mistake, that was her bio, but it says creating fantasies, mo

  • Whoever made this is awesome.

  • All of them have flaws.

    Though, what's your favorite episode then?

    Source for knowing this? If I remember correctly A long road ahead had the best reviews, and loads of people put it or starved for help above a house divided on this forum in a thread asking for favourite episodes.

  • Besides, whether many want to admit it or not, whenever a new episode comes out, many will claim it is their favorite because of the hype. I'm not saying all of you guys do, but it happens, and it's normal. However, hindsight and a cooler head are what decide my favorite episodes.

  • I was talking mainly about Metacritic, which is a good representation.

    Besides, just because you disagree with a review, it doesn't means that the majority do. If most professional companies think the game is good, chances are that most will also think it's good.

    Ah, No Time Left would be a close second for me. The main thing though that I like about Season Two as a whole so far is that it's more focused. We've got a clear villain(Carver), and a clear goal(Wellington/killing Carver). Sometimes this isn't good, but I say in this situation it is. The Walking Dead is a story fueled by the conflict between our survivors and the human monsters they encounter. Season One didn't have a lot of that, only in Episode Two. This one is shaping up to have a really great villain and a fantastic story surrounding him.

    The main reason I put A House Divided as my favorite was the ending scene(couldn't have been done any better), and the beginning with Pete(Nick's scene was great as well). I also loved the aesthetic feel of the episode. Being up in the mountains and in the forest was, for me, much more compelling than Savannah or Macon. In fact, my favorite area from season One was on the train.

    And of course, I'm starting to like a lot of these new characters... real shame about Walter though...

  • Alright, from what I've seen it's considered to be the best episode by most. From what I've seen.

    It's hard to judge Breckon as season 2 isn't finished but so far I have mixed opinions. There are a few bad scenes for example Clementine and the wind turbine and I thought when Carver attacked the lodge that was a bit low standard. There isn't enough character development like there was in season one, episode 2 seemed to be rushed.

  • Claps You, good sir/lady, deserve my like.
