Pretty good make up. I'm sure this made someone cry and or throw up.

Is YouTube filled with reaction videos from webcams and dumb bars that do that kind of poo poo like for GoT, yet?

Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.

Yeah, I'm fairly loving fine with gross dumb poo poo but it felt forced and gratuitous. It made me very uncomfortable in a way I'm not sure I ever felt, it came across as extremely unneeded.

Character deaths are one thing but mutilation is another thing entirely and makes me feel gross even when I know it's all make up and gore sfx.

Well they couldn't spring surprise on us, giving the audience the entire off season to prepare doesn't leave a lot of room for that holy-poo poo moment other character deaths have had, so the gore makes sense.

Hey I mean, I'll even come forward. I don't know if it's because I now have an infant daughter or what, but I kinda 'previewed' it on behalf of my wife, you know, do we want to keep watching this, and I'm going to tell her I don't think we should. Don't know if I'm changed or what, but no thanks for me. If she wants to, we will, but I think we could call it a day here.

Yes. But I'm angry about the way they've gone about it.

A 1 1/2 hour season finale full of fluff to end season 6. Ohhh driving my RV around, woooo

And then a full hour dedicated to what should have been the ending of season 6.

You want to make your audience wait on a gigantic cliffhanger, you better loving deliver something. JDM's performance was a redeeming factor for sure, but I would still argue this whole thing was executed very poorly.

I would have ended season 6 with the Negan bashing skulls. And opened season 7 with the flashback clips and them moving forward with life.... meeting with the other settlements, etc. And at the end of the premiere Negan's boys roll up for their first payment. Which is likely an apt description of next week's episode... it's just a shame to see it drawn out so poorly.

It wasn't the gore that got to me. It was the character desperately trying to speak while a montage of people sobbing went on around him. I don't fault anyone for liking the show, it just made me feel very uncomfortable and I had to stop the episode.

That's fair enough. I was reacting to the fact that other post read like they were kind of surprised at how nasty it was. It is nasty and always has been, and if that's not your cup of tea anymore that's absolutely your prerogative :)

^^yeah I'm also not faulting anyone for deciding that's that. I've come close myself on one or two occasions, albeit for plot related reasons rather than the gore.

This is the heart and soul of this entire series.

To be honest, I was far more choked up when Rick knifed Shane.

And I think a lot of us are addicted to this story, be it comic or TV, because of it's visceral display of emotion. And humanity.

But to each their own, and if you aren't enjoying or getting anything out of the experience otherwise, I can respect that.

Yeah, Shane getting repeatedly shanked at the end of season 2 and the fundamental and final change of Rick's character because of it and Lori bleeding out and being entirely consumed (offscreen) by a zombie were honestly more disturbing to me than this. We also had Herschel's :stonk: decapitation a few years back. This being the jumping off point for some folks is kind of surprising to me.

No, we still have to get to the point where Rick is self-narrating everything.

"I'll find you" is the thing that Glenn always said to her. That he'd find her no matter what if they got separated. I thought it was a very appropriately done last words.

Why is it Dexters level of bad? This did the opposite of what Dexter did. This gave people what they were excited about. Everyone wanted Dexter to get caught and that never happened.

If this episode had killed Aaron and that was it after all that anticipation, that would be Dexter level.

Also after Negan chooses Abraham before he gets brained he makes the peace sign towards Sasha. It was a nice, subtle thing the show often misses out on.

Don't feel bad. It's really the natural way of things. The show has always had its gory moments but really, you are a new dad. Every friend that got their first kid it makes their tastes change in entertainment. I've had numerous friends that were horror movie fans like myself and they changed after they looked into their kid's eyes. A friend of mine put it like this: I don't want that kind of ugliness, that screaming and poo poo near my girl. I know some people might give you shite but don't worry about it. If anything you might start finding the urge to watch it again after a bit but you and your wife got far more important things to stress about. Congratulations by the way.

Show itself was ok. JDM brought a certain cruel charm that I really appreciated. I know he won't be around that long but it was nice to see Rick utterly sorted. Hopefully the show builds to the rematch slowly. I'd rather have one big concluding fight than the Governor parte deux.

That scene made me uncomfortable, too. I've always been of the mind that brutal violence should be over quickly otherwise it becomes indulgent and boy howdy was that indulgent as gently caress.

Negan's dumb vampire bat pun got a laugh out of me though. I hope JDM stays on longer than a season.

Really? This is where people are going to stop watching? Just lmao. That re-creation of Glenn's comic book death was so awesome. I'm glad they got the effect of his head caved in down so well that it's making people sick. That kind of brutality is what the show needs more of. I thought the death of the Alexandrian who got impaled from the back and then had his entrails ripped out by a bunch of zombies while he was helpless to be stuck there standing upright watching it was way more disturbing than these deaths tonight.
