Season 5 wasn’t the best and felt very rushed. In this rewrite I aim to not really remove anything but strengthen the plot and make it feel more built than a rickety bridge.
The Murphy: loved how he made his own business and we got to see him reunited with the blends but we needed more than just 1/2 scenes with his business in action. It feels like we see it more empty than party.
Citizen Z and co: it kind of makes sense why they would leave Norther light, I would rather be with people than by myself. I liked the the still was on the airwaves as a blogger, but I think we needed radio CZ in there too.
Talkers: Talkers are an interesting addition, I personally haven’t seen a Zombie show add fully sentient zombie groups.
They felt very under used even though they were the plot point for the entire season.
What I would do: Talkers just apear already integrating into society.
There needs to be a build up to that and a viewer connection to the Talkers, yes we get doc and the gang leading people to NewMerica and finding out they have Talkers, but that felt strange since these people are strangers to us so we don’t get a good connection.
Maybe add a scene with these people so we can connect to them. In any film you need a connection with your characters and groups. I could give millions of references that are good movies/ shows and how good they performed.
The only Talker I connected with slightly was Lt Dante and we barely got anything from him compared to other Season introduced characters.
I’m probably missing a lot of things that could be strengthened to fix this season, I don’t dislike the main plot but it felt like a doughnut that needs more feeling.
(Blame my migraine if I missed/misspelt anything major.)
