Remy Marathe posted:Nope, not explicitly mentioned that I've heard. Early zombies were even a little smarter, turning doorknobs and beating on windows. Terminus butchers were the last that were freshly turned I think. Didn't see much of them though. I think the comics do state that the slow, but constant deterioration slows down the walkers, as does the cold, but we haven't had them show winter yet, they just skipped it between seasons I think. Edit: VV I guess it goes to show how bad the hospital poo poo was that I can't remember that, even now. Brightman fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Unless Rick told everyone else it was Carol they're going to assume it was him and some random explosion probably. nobody saw carol blow poo poo up, there was just some explosion and then rick's opening up the rail car for everyone to get out.

Mullet is also in the trailer for the new ep. He has a pretty important role in the future so they won't forget about him. Seriously it's damned if you do damned if you don't. They only have like 45 min to show poo poo. If they jumped around to show what Eugene is doing, and what Ginger boy and Rosita and Tara were doing they wouldn't advance the story at all and people would complain about slow pacing. Right now they're advancing the story one subplot at a time and people are complaining they're forgetting the other characters. I seriously wonder if people in this thread would be better served just reading a wiki synopsis when the show is finished instead of watching along live.

Something else to consider re: lesser characters not appearing. Actors are generally paid per episode, so omitting one or two lesser characters each week lets the show runners redirect budget as needed. With a cast this large is only makes sense.

With a cast this large, it's time to start the culling. Remember the Atlanta camp? 14 people or so killed off in one scene. Fix the budget. Kill the extras. Ricktatorship 2016.

GrAviTy84 posted:Right now they're advancing the story one subplot at a time and people are complaining they're forgetting the other characters. And people wonder why one of the loudest - if not most accurate - criticisms of the show is its plodding pace when it even attempts character drama. There are so many attempts at poignant or meaningful scenes that start strong and then fizzle entirely: -Michonne with the plastic sabre says everything it needs to without captain redhead belching out "packin a different kind of steel now?" followed by a half-wrought monologue about the necessity and tragedy of violence -Daryl attempting to tame Buttons and failing is packed with (perhaps unsubtle) subtext. But there is absolutely no delayed gratification in this story so the horse dies immediately. So the audience is left with a bizarre mixed metaphor in which Daryl is taming his wilder impulses but also a lone wolf dies alone but also not trusting the right people will get you ate but also introspection leaves you blind to your surroundings. Bonus: in the same scene we get another ankle-grab fake-scare. -Sasha has boring cocktail party chatter that sketches the naivete of the naivete of the townspeople. Then she has a PTSD freakout complete with bizarre camera effects which she appears to have inherited from her brother. This show just cannot pull off a clean stroke and its frustrating when so much time is devoted to half-baked scenes (it takes Michonne a full minute to hang up her sword and scowl at it, and this is almost immediately after the plastic-sabre scene which covered the same basic theme). It's hard to believe that there was just "no room" in this or the previous episode to do anything at all with the priest character. This kind of neglect leads to weak character development at best, and total retardation of his plot at worst: Al Nipper posted:^^ Ya I dunno last we saw he kind of ran away?

But you wouldn't ask many questions about the nice quiet older lady in the back.

If I gave enough shits I'd vid edit down this ep into a goon's ideal ep basically consisting of 1 second shots of every scene because who the gently caress cares about acting, development, direction, and whatever. If you can't figure out what's going on in a scene in one second with no dialogue and no setup or explanation you should probably just kill you are self.

Blazing Ownager posted:That Horse scene drove me loving nuts, for a few reasons. For one, like 7 zombies cornered and pulled down a horse in a field, then tore it apart like play-doh. Last time we saw something like that it was more like 80+ zombies. Also like they do every time something is setup to die, Daryl & Friend show up in time to see the cornered horse getting attacked and proceed to just stand there and watch the gore effects for a while. To be honest, I'm not really sure about that. While its true that animals don't turn from zombie bites there's really no proof that they live zombie bites either. There's never been a prolonged scene in the comic nor the show of an animal whose been bitten and if they get a fever/infection or if they just keep on ticking with a bite; they simply don't reanimate. So... maybe? It seems unlikely that the show would explore this specifically.

There's a middle ground between having a whole scene featuring every character every episode (which I agree would be awful), and what they're doing here which is scrimping on money at the cost of creating a consistent sense of place. Alexandria's not that big, our characters weren't even ready to sleep in separate houses when they got here, so not seeing two of the main characters at all for two episodes straight, including an episode centered around a big loving party meant to welcome their group, their absence is downright weird and conspicuous.

To be honest I'm especially partial to Seth Gilliam and I believe he's the strongest actor on the cast at the moment. He has been given so little maneuverability as an actor even in the episodes that he has actual scenes in that his is probably the most reviled (and not in the love-to-hate 'good' way) of the supporting characters. There are compelling ways to show a story (the plastic sabre scene sans-chewing), redundancies (hanging the sword), and useless filler (zombies eating a horse, again). Zombies only served to muddle the visual storytelling of this episode, and probably should have been excluded entirely in this case. You can GoonSay all you want, but this episode would have been better served if it had no zombies. On the other hand, GrAviTy84 posted:you should probably just kill you are self.

My god Spencer is such an annoying smug oval office, his actor is doing such a great job at making me hate his guts. But Carol is quickly becoming the best character in my books  "I can bake you loads of delicious cookies! orr YOU CAN DIE A GRUESOME AND PAINFULL DEATH!!"The doctor guy is weird, he's practically offering his wife to Rick on a golden platter

There's an interesting idea floating around that it's not actually a W but an M for "Morgan" carved in those walkers' heads. Not sure how much weight this holds as they seem to be following the comics pretty closely now though they have done that weird remix thing a few times and we're kind of overdue for it again. maybe morgan is part of that first group that rick deters that makes deanna hand over control of alexandria for. The question remains though what the point of tagging walkers with a W/M would be. We're still waiting for a conclusion to the whisperers arc in the comics. could be some elements from that.

Rick rubbing his secret gun/penis after checking out Jessie at the end is pretty funny, the horse wasn't very good at being a horse, and there was a zombie trapped under a dead sheep. Good episode.FlamingLiberal posted:So I'm wondering how the Morgan thing is going to tie into this season (if at all) now that they are hundreds of miles away from Georgia.

Please forgive me, I haven't read the last 5 pages and I just finished this week's episode. This was the most "human" episode I have ever seen of TWD. There is a ton I could cover, but I want to get a few points out before I forget them. Sasha, was a classic form of PTSD attempting to reintegrate to a societal life, and I think it was done perfectly. The "Governor lady", forgive me I don't remember her name, giving her a box of ammo and sending her out shows that she truly does understand, but DOESN'T agree, with what is happening. The inclusion of Daryl shows that these people are trying and, I believe, realize that they are too "comfortable" for the current world that is going on outside their walls. Rick, good god folks, is acting up a wonderful storm. You can see how he gets the societal inclusion but has spent so much time in his insular group that he still wants to defend them. The juxtaposition at the end with him and the zombie outside the wall. loving magic. It's like a mirror view. Inside he can be this constable, outside he's just another walker. Kudos to the writers, IMO. Carol. HOLY gently caress, Carol. The scene with the kid. Holy gently caress man. You want dichotomy. You loving get dichotomy. Ying, yang. Heads, Tails. Black, White. Holy gently caress there it was. Both sides of the argument for her terrorizing that kid are plain to see. This was probably the best written AND acted episode of this entire series and it really makes me impatient for this coming Sunday. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back through the last few pages and read how much my opinion is wrong.  Edit: Oh my gently caress,  you all AGREE with me?
