I have infrequently posted and tweeted about my growing contempt for The Walking Dead<\/em>. This will be the final such post. I will watch the finale this weekend, but I will spare the critique. I am considering it a wake – you never want to say anything bad about the deceased. And The Walking Dead<\/em> is now dead to me. I have listened to all the excuses and explanations, but I have finally decided that the show is just terrible. It is \"TWD2\"<\/a>terribly written. It is terribly directed. And there are terrible acting performances. There is no longer any redeemable quality to this show whatsoever. I have grown weary of the pointless and illogical plot twists. There were moments of potential, but the lack of creativity was astounding: wasted characters, insipid dialogue, and irrational choices. The zombies have become my favorite character.\u00a0 I wish them well.<\/p>\n

Other random musings from last week:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Black Sails<\/em> season was so good it inspired me to write a pirate-themed short story.<\/li>\n
  2. I posted my review of Erica Crockett’s The Ram<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday. You should definitely check it out.<\/li>\n
  3. I don’t watch college basketball, but I successfully picked three of the final four. North Carolina is still alive as my choice for winner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
