It's not like anyone knew the girls were ever with them, so no one would ask them.

We've already established that zombies love eating ice cream almost as much as they like eating people and she was looking for pets but got overwhelmed by the number of zombies arriving for their daily treat of ice cream and decided to hide under dead zombies for camouflage. Don't you even read the thread? I thought we also agreed that it was Judith who set off the prison alarm using telekinesis from Lori's uteris. Although after seeing that dog, I'm kinda thinking he did it. Bored fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Mar 18, 2014 |

First, I was making a joke, and there's absolutely 100% no loving way they leave this unresolved. Did they do that with the Gubner? Or, anything else they've set up in the show so far? Secondly, that's just horrible writing. Is that the end of Beth's character? Just kidnapped, almost offscreen?

Props to the show for daring to do this plot twist. I'm also glad the news sites do not appear to be full of disgruntled shocked parent who condemn this sort of TV. Kids dying on TV is no longer taboo. This wasn't pointless violence either (well it WAS pointless, but not pointless violence because there was... a point)but a really good example of a mentally sick person (child). And sometimes there is no way to rationally explain their behaviour. Earlier someone asked if the reason they cut up the group like this was to save money. Indirectly I think episodes like these are cheaper, but mainly because they are faster to produce. Smaller teams lead to less waiting times. Also hard to tell if the cast of a show is paid per episode, or per working day. I believe main cast, who feature in the credits without even appearing are definitely paid per season. If you compare to Game of Thrones : They have multiple storylines and many actors haven't even met eachother on set. So they have different production crews doing their thing. This vastly increases shooting speed which is necessary to deliver a new series every year with that kind of production value.

Whatever moral panic there is over this episode is dumb. Way worse poo poo has happened to children over the course of the dozens of Law and Order spin offs and poo poo. Here it didn't seem forced or exploitative, the narrative earned it and it was some of the tightest and most affecting writing the show has had in its entire run. There was nothing cathartic or titillating about the terrible poo poo that happened, and the payoff with the confession and extremely grudging absolution was really good. I kept meaning to show my girlfriend Bad Lip Reading: Walking Dead and finally remembered after this episode. I think it was exactly the kind of decompression we needed. poo poo was grim.

How could you? There must have been another way with Lizzie. Especially after your actions at the prison. God dammit, COOOOORL! Carl: Yes, dad? No. COOOOOORL! Daryl: Yeah, there's some coal in the barn just over there. Should keep us warm. No, you don't understand. It's COOOOOORL! Michonne: yes, the Terminus is pretty cooool after all we've been through. No seriously, COOOOOORL! Maggie: Yes, we should corral those deer into a corner in order to catch them for food. .......7 minutes later............. group: ah!, CAROL. You want us to deal with Carol. I laugh to hide the disturbingnes of the episode

Wizard of Smart posted:Calling it now, they get to the state line to find that there's been a giant wall erected and it's only Georgia infected. Instead of trying to cure it, the rest of the world sent messages that it was global so they wouldn't try to leave before cutting contact, and sealed it off. I'm pretty sure if it was a global initiative they'd have made the smart decision and tacked on Florida as well.

That is what I liked most about Jericho : The USA got into this huge Post Nuclear Holocaust Civil War, and the rest of the world just decided to close all borders and let things run their course. This was also something the cast/viewers learned about in season two. Too bad they canceled it, but a very similar premise is happening in Under the Dome. I really hope somewhere in the TWD universe large groups of people have managed to form "civilized" communities. Perhaps this won't be explored by Rick & Co but is more something for the Spinoff to explore.

It's just going to be a zoo filled with zombies. Lizzie was right all along and the only way to survive is to become a walker. On another note, why doesn't Tyreese's baby look anything like him? Talk about bad casting.

I really want them to do something clever and not that, but I almost feel like it's pre-destined to hit the same beats as the comic (surviving in the wild -> new town/community -> group decides they can't just chill the gently caress out, everything goes to hell -> repeat forever).

Austrian mook posted:I wonder, when it does, how this show is going to end? Season 16, on the eve of Carl's re-election as president of New America. They solve the zombie crisis in season 7. Seasons 8-12 are about cleaning up, putting down the roving groups of cannibals and bandits, rebuilding a capital city, and beginning a new political, social, and economic era. Seasons 13-16 cover Carl's first term where he has to centralize power and begin to establish foreign relations with other states in reconstruction. The final episode takes place during the retirement ceremony of Five Star General Daryl Dixon. "You've served your country well, General Dixon." "Ah, mah time is up. I ain't your lackey no more." "Daryl... You also served your friends well." "Cut that poo poo out." "So, what do you think you'll do now that you have some free time?" "You know, I think I'll go... camping." The two share a laugh, then embrace. <guitar riff> <fade to black> Post-credit scene is Daryl being eaten by a zombie, played by Robert Kirkman.

Bored posted:I agree. It also fits well with something people might be forced to do in that world. There are going to be people that can't survive in that fictional world where it would be kinder to kill them than to leave them behind. I promise I wasn't saying it was bad. I was also very sad that during the first airing of the show, nobody else was quoting "of mice and men". Although, I did find out, when talking to someone else about it today, that not everybody has read the book. I probably personally wouldn't have read it if not for it being assigned reading for highschool freshmen English. It's a great book though and everyone should read it. I was getting total "of mice and men" flashbacks while watching that scene. It's a shame that wasn't the book they were reading (as opposed to Tom Sawyer). http://youtu.be/5Ddap2Pyhtw Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Mar 19, 2014 |

I actually cheered when Carol shot Lizzie. I was expecting some prissy self-sacrifice from carol where she walks off with her, probably to be killed by walkers or Lizzie herself. I was screaming at my screen "JUST SHOOT HER" when they were walking away and then she actually did. That bitch was loving crazy. I don't believe in the death penalty in any civilised society. But society collapsed a long time ago, and she was a liability. HowPeculiar fucked around with this message at 07:34 on Mar 19, 2014 |
