It's why I'm not giving up on the show yet.

I'm not there yet ...I understand that feeling. I'm not there yet either, but I see hints of the potential and think they have at least started back in the right direction. I just would have preferred if they had found a different way to start this new story arc stuff. <br />I didn't think the sky was falling after the finale, but I was definitely not happy with it. I'm still a bit annoyed. Even with the few other episodes I didn't like as much, I wasn't as annoyed or disappointed in them. But I have no intention of giving up on the show. <br />I did see something last night that had a bit of a spoiler in it. It made me feel so much better about where things are going. It looks like things will be a lot better sooner rather than later.Dragonfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100834933143172641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-59948627196125503742014-09-30T20:38:52.163-07:002014-09-30T20:38:52.163-07:00I'm definitely willing to give them a few epis...I'm definitely willing to give them a few episodes to convince me this is a good story angle, but I'm certainly not there yet. Which is ironic because I felt like the only one not saying the sky was falling after the season six finale.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-32799534120815302002014-09-30T19:49:52.526-07:002014-09-30T19:49:52.526-07:00I've got issues with the episode too. I was.....I've got issues with the episode too. I was...very unhappy with the finale. I'm not that unhappy now, but I'm not happy again yet either. I had read different things, especially in the last week, about what would happen, so I already knew a few things would happen - the doubts and all that anyway. Even before I read that stuff, I wasn't expecting everything to be resolved in this episode.<br /><br />So far, I'm not really liking the direction they decided to go with this. I really, really do not like that they spent so much time making it look like Rick was willingly involved in what happened to the point where just about everyone doubted him, even Kate. From a logical or more realistic point of view, I can see why some of the doubts pop up. I don't like it though. I just don't like that the story is making it look like Rick is a sneaky liar even briefly. <br /><br />I agree that not all shows have to have the big, ongoing story arcs too. Sure keep developing the characters and sharing more little bits about their past or something. It is difficult for those types of long, on going stories to be done well, and more often than not, they fall flat. The Castle writers handled the stuff about Johanna very well and the way that concluded was probably one of the best episodes of the series. Just because that is settled doesn't mean they need to rush into something with Rick. They still have stuff with 3XK and the creepy doctor they can deal with..and even Rick's dad. If they want to focus more on Rick and have some stuff from his past come up, I'm ok with that. I'm just not liking the way they are setting that up. At least right now. Hopefully we get a little more information in the next episode that will make me feel better about this.Dragonfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100834933143172641noreply@blogger.com
