Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

The finale reached an apex... of retarded writing Laughing
 Spoiler:
 


I mean, I know the show is stupid and I'm turning my brain off whenever I watch it. But, damn, there has to be a stop sign of some kind. I was pretty comfortable with how stupid it was in the beginning. It doesn't need to get any more sillier than that Mad

I still enjoyed it, though, so I guess they must be doing something right Laughing

Also: "Munchers are going boom boom" is the line of the season Laughing

So, if you wear Silver armor like a fucking knight what the hell can a rat-faced mousebrained goblin-Orc from the East-side of Mordor like the Master do to you? They're scared of silver by just looking at it and silver cripples them if struck correctly. Ally up with an armorsmith, melt silverware looted around town/or trade in through the shop and forge the ultimate battle armor. He's been fighting vampires all his life but not once has he thought about maybe covering his neck at least with silver armor or going for full-plate Very Happy ? He's had time to prepare in his basement shop for fucking ages. If not ally with a silversmith/armorsmith then he could have taken a course during the last 30 years and learnt how to make some crude weapons at least. What the fuck has he been doing all this time. Smile

Also why not go for a doubled edged silver battle axe and just go full-on helicopter style in the room? No, instead he carrys the tiniest sword ever, and he's not even able to stick the fat ugly vampire properly with the pointy end of it. Maximum inefficiency achieved.

My thoughts exactly Very Happy

Also this:



Why only Ash had that brilliant idea (i know, i know chopper in 28 weeks)? But with blades made of silver.

@Bethrezen Yes that is true.

I dont think that silver armour would work. The Master has been toying with the Jew since he attacked him at the camp. He broke his hands and turned his wife. Now he is doing simiar things with Eph. He just gets bored sometimes and wants to play with his food.

That's cause these people don't play video games/watch movies so they don't have any imagination Laughing

Is this any good?

I mean, I've liked campy stuff like Buffy in the past, but nowadays I want the writing to be believable, the CGI to be decent, characters in real danger/dying .... otherwise I have tons of other stuff to watch. What do you think?

CGI? Look at the Master running down the wall in the finale Laughing

Also the whole plot with infecting a plane was rendered stupid, when:

still, the cgi is pretty good for a tv show, most do far worse, though of course when it comes to cgi quality no show holds a candle to got.
