Oh thank god I came to this thread to say this was a TERRIBLE episode made even worse by being a mid-season-premiere and am glad to see I'm not alone.

This show wants to be Breaking Bad so loving desperately. Every time it tries anything "artistic" it feels so loving dishonest. Oh yeah, garbage episode though. But hilarious. I loved every second of that mediocre David Lynch viewed through a freshman film student scene. The projector lol.

Looks like the governor got ahold of that place. This episode was a waste, the best part for me was Rick and the gang smashing sports memorabilia cases to get a clean shirt and a bat. They could have at least mentioned who's memorabilia it was. Seeing them break the case of an autographed Babe Ruth jersey because it was a clean shirt would have showed how desperate things really are.

I hope somebody hallucinates Bob being back every episode. And I can wrap my head around every cameo *except* fuckin' Beth. Won't hallucinate our own sister, but you can fever-dream the character nobody cared about. RIP Tyreese. We'll miss your 'wide-eyed, world weary stare and slowly back out of the room' And LOL at Noah killing his brother(?) with a model spaceship to the dome.

Something to point out how lovely and desperate things are. After Beth's/Bob's death, Eugene's lie, Noah's town being overrun, the drat zombies everywhere.

steinrokkan posted:Ahahaha what was this heavy handed student level bullshit. Probably the worst episode so far, and that's saying something. My favorite parts: - The new kid is the such a loving slow rear end runner with apparently no ability to yell, like, at all because Goddamn was Tyreese tripping for a long long time. - The hole in the TOP of Beth's head that came from a gun fired at waist level: Confirmed in flashbacks. Yeah the director hosed that up so bad half the thread insisted that wasn't the hole. - The tradition of "Add a black man, kill a black man" continues. It's really gotten to be practically a trope at this point. Except this is actually the extreme edition: Add two black men, kill two black men within 3 episodes! ... and that's it because every loving part of this episode was a huge misfire. RIP Tyreese: A few days ago you berserk raged like twenty zombies, today you couldn't take on a toothpick and a kid. Scooter_McCabe posted:Tyrese was a big fat bitch and he died like one too. If a female character that was shown as capable went out with as much of a wet fart as Tyreese, people would seriously call it demeaning to women. Couldn't beat down one little rear end frail zombie, twice. Seriously couldn't they at least have had a dude that was like 6'8 beat him down? You never see a big rear end zombie on this show.

ahahah how much did loving AMC bribe reviewers. Here's Forbes:quote:Sunday night’s episode of The Walking Dead marks a huge change from previous shows. It also may be the best episode I’ve seen of the show in years, a tremendous tour de force that opened strong and finished with a bang. Fuuuuuuck.

I'm legit excited about this new group that destroys whole towns, cuts everyone in half, stores truckloads of torsos for whatever reason and doesn't seem to have any pretensions of "we're just trying to rebuild society". They sound more promising as antagonists than the Governor or the Terminus hipsters, just a bunch of straightforward post-apocalyptic ruthless psychos.

I know the episode sucked but that at least was half-assed-ly cleared up(?) Is that what was said? I thought he was saying that she did it, but he knew she clearly didn't mean to it and it was an accident, and wondered if he should have killed her like Daryl did or not. Did I get that wrong? ED: Either way I stand by my earlier rant that her getting shot in the top of the skull from the hip under the head is just sloppy as gently caress. This show is not doing main character death very well. Actually yeah, think about the main character deaths we've had since Shane: Lori.. eaten off screen being boring. Dale.. surprise ninja hulk zombie attack in an open field Andrea.. killed by nerd zombie Beth.. wigging the gently caress out and stabbing a woman with a complex in the shoulder with tiny scissors in the middle of a hostage exchange because.. what the gently caress? Tyreese.. ambushed by child zombie, unable to beat skinny old woman zombie, suddenly has the strength of Judith. Bob and Herschel were the only ones to get an awesome death and Bob barely counts as a main character. It's sad when those moments make me sigh and go "Well that was loving dumb." Game of Thrones can kill just about anybody for the dumbest loving reasons, and it's still awesome. These are just too lame to at least go out on a high note. I get it, the actor left the show. You could do better than this with a free-pass to kill a main. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Feb 9, 2015 |

Sneak zombie attacks on this show make my eyes roll out of my head. When Tyrese of all people get surprised by a little kid zombie like that...very lazy writing. At least have the kid pop out from behind a door or something as opposed to somehow get out from behind the closed the door he was behind (I assumed there was a shared bathroom, Brady-bunch style that allowed him to do that) and then shuffle across the house to him. I guess poor Cutty was so enamored by the photos that he didn't hear him? I don't expect too much from this show, so I wouldn't say I was disappointed. I think it was a weird choice to only have a small portion of the group in the mid-season premiere and then to include Noah in that group because Noah is the worst. **zombies rushing through the gate** Rick: CAN YOU HOLD HIM? **motions to Tyrese** Noah: YEAH **drops Tyrese IMMEDIATELY***

This show is not doing main character death very well. It's perfectly fine given how the shot is staged and that it was supposed to be a shocking turn of events. Not ***tAcTiCaLlY ReAlIsTiC*** maybe, but in a show where nothing makes sense it doesn't even register as a problem.

At the end of the day I think my biggest problem with the episode was that it mostly revolved around Tyreese dying, and I didn't really care that he died. Of the characters killed off this season the only one I actually felt for was Bob, and he was the shortest tenured cast member of the three.

TMMadman posted:Haha, truck full of zombies. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated this joke. I also like the idea that the truck wrecked, but the original intention was to use the torsos kind of like the banana peel in mario cart. Someone following them on the road? Massive herd behind them? Open up the back of the truck and let the torsos rain down. (I'm pretty sure they would have had to modified the truck to allow them to do that from the front seat, but I still like the idea.)

I'm just making fun of that dumb smiling sun drawn on the ground. What was Michone looking at in that scene outside the wall? She noticed the missing torsos, and then looked at where the wall had been torn down or burnt or something? E: also holy poo poo the special effects budget want up. There were a few "put on your 3D glasses NOW!" scenes that were movie quality. moths fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Feb 9, 2015 |
