My wife's family is big time fans of the series. They have been to some of the Trekkie conventions but they laugh about paying for it. Im sure they will get some Trekkies but I don't think its going to be successful. Not a single Trek fan that I know personally is paying for it.
I have been watching TWD since day one. For the most part I have been willing to forgive things like the Dumpster Death etc. I have even allowed Negan not to bother me with how over the top he is. I think he's actually reeled it back in a bit and has become interesting...in his spaghetti making ways. Maybe it started with the trash people...they completely grate on me. It's one thing to adopt a way of life after the world goes to pot, but their mannerisms and speech became altered too? Not buying it. Definitely not liking it.
This episode started out pretty good This episode's finish, however, was fucking terrible and has me thinking about dumping the show. I've already willing suspended my disbelief in that I'm watching a zombie apocalypse show but
the show totally fucking lost me when all the people that have been subjugated by the saviors band together to JUST. FUCKING. SIT. ON. THEIR. HANDS. It's a totally other thing when Midswat's mom sits on my hands though...that's tender and nice. I'm supposed to believe it when Rick is 15 feet away from Negan, with a a gun and with cover, that Rick is going to TALK to him? Negan is forcing himself on all these people and has bashed Rick's two good friends' heads in right in front him, tortured Rick, and then threatened to kill his son and chop off his hand and I'm supposed to understand that Rick is playing the long game (that, also, doesn't make any sense)? He has all Negan's captains in one spot, totally surprised and on the defensive against an armed group that has been under their heel, and I'm supposed to swallow the group giving his captains a chance to join them when they could just wipe them out? Nope.

Yeah, that's what I kept telling my wife. Why doesn't he just shoot the son of a bitch? He's right fucking there. I'm not sure I am done, but that was stupid.
I can only think that they are trying to stay somewhat true with the graphic novels. Im also assuming that Negan stays around for awhile in the novels as I haven't read them. At least that's what I thought I read on here. Stil dumb how they did it. As if Negan would just come out facing all those guns. Im not done with he show at all. I still find it enjoyable even with these things and the slower story lines.
I’m only 2 eps in on Mindhunter and I’m sticking with it, but that pilot was tough. Started good with the opening scene, but then super slow and plodding the rest of the show.
Ep 2 was better simply because of the creepiness factor of the prisoner.
