Merle could have shot the governor if he decided to like, shoot the governor instead of a bunch of mooks.

Also I was really hoping A A Ron would have died in the pond and get a subdued reaction from Rick where he looks off in the distance and goes "whelp"

Yeah I feel like the people saying he was "awesome" need to go back and rewatch those seasons. He seems maybe not so bad in hindsight compared to Negan, but almost everything about him was ridiculously cartoony from his fish tank head wall to killing his people for no reason to wanting to move into a prison when his town was pretty well-off already. As silly+contrived as Negan's plan to get Rick's RV where they wanted and the whistling thing was last season, the Governor seasons had even more ridiculous scenes like him being able to track Andrea down in a truck, Andrea outrunning said truck, etc.

Blazing Ownager posted:

Remember the first prison attack where suddenly it became the A-Team and everyone just shot at each other's feet after making them lose like 2 people in a haunted house with zombies that was the tunnels?

Then the Governor gunning down like 20 people with 30 bullets in like 5 seconds while they were all armed?

That was some hilarious poo poo. Nothing about that fucker made any sense.


Firing an Steyr AUG with one hand and one eye with deadly accuracy was also funny.

I read all of this and it just makes me think the Governor is even more awesome than I remembered. It's Walking Dead. Who cares if it makes sense? I just want it to be fun. This season wasn't. Negan was boring after the first episode of the season. The Governor was exciting and unpredictable and didn't have the stupid lines that sound like they were written by a 12 year old.

Much like Shane, Merle, and Hershel, he was killed off too quickly, and the show is worse because of it.

I like the Tuna-Town Scout idea for this person, but I think it might also be a new face. The "You win but you still lose" note meaning the boat could have been a lure. Then you track them back to their settlement and get your investment + interest back.

Governor was a pretty dumb character but his scenes weren't as exhaustingly repetitive as Negan's and I liked his supporting characters a lot more. The only Negan I really like is the one Steven Ogg's playing.

My impression is was it was the guy who made the signs+put the stuff there like the poster a couple above mine said. It was still a bit confusing because I was wondering why they would go through all that trouble just to find their settlement and what he/she'd do if it was a heavily fortified place like the saviors, but then I remembered what show I was watching and realized I'm going to think the "why" and logistics part is bullshit no matter what.

Also, i feel like i should be writing an opinion piece for Huff Po about how TWD hates fat people and kills off any that appear on screen.

Fat lesbian got killed last season, fat sandwich man got killed this episode, fat quatermaster woman got shot in the face. T Dawg was kind of fat so he had to go too.

The creators are doing some serious body shaming.

It makes sense that no one's killing Negan, because then you'd be left with a bunch of angry armed thugs without a leader who'd probably kill a lot more people than Negan. Of course, that makes it all the more stupid to spend so much time on three different people trying to kill Negan, as if that alone would solve anything. This season is terrible. Season 2 had a lot of filler, but at least stuff actually happened, sometimes. This season is just drawn out, and even if it wasn't, it's just bad. TV Negan is even worse than comic Negan. The only thing that's better about TV Negan is that he can't say gently caress. Actual line from the comic: Get the gently caress up you loving fucker so I can gently caress you up some more.

They don't know what to do with and get rid of any character that isn't bland and predictable. Any character that wouldn't just go along with whatever the group wants. Any character that would make some conflict.

I wish we had many characters that they didn't know what to do with. Because the alternative is These people go from point A to B and have boring meaningless conversations about why they must survive for 8 episodes.

So Negan told that woman to cut Rositas face, to mess it up, but then it was just a one centimeter cut on her cheek that'll heal in two days. I guess that was good enough for Negan who is a known pacifist.

One minute prior to that Spencer is trying to shove his guts back inside him. One minute after the cut the ol' chubster has her brains blown off via noscope360.

I think what's happening is that the writers have this wheel of fortune that has things like "Inexplicably runs to the woods, finds crossbow" and "Leans backwards in a 70 degree angle, gives a smug grin" and they use it to construct an episode.

He would have messed up her face if the real bullet maker didn't confess. Since Eugene did it was no longer necessary. It's his whole thing - the person that fucks up isn't the one who gets punished. In this case Eugene's going to get punished for Rosita's fuckup. And I guess the fat lady dying was a punishment too but I'm pretty sure everyone's going to act like she never existed in the second half of the season. They hardly did when she was alive.

I figured out where some of their weapons are going to come from by the way. Spencer was flashing that note in Latin all around to reveal where "all the other big caches were hidden" he hadn't gotten yet, but never told Negan's people. Somebody's going to take that paper off him, find someone to read Latin, and recover the other caches.

I thought it was odd he'd be telling people all about the other caches he had to recover when he was using the goods to power play people but it makes sense in a "because plot" way now.

There is a part of my brain at the sudden suggestion out of nowhere that Rosita/Sasha have some kind of relationship vibe going that went "Oh, poo poo."

Not because I don't think a show could handle more lesbian/bi-sexuals, but because you know how this show is: You can't have repeated niches. So I could only picture some slimey AMC guy telling Tara "You better lose that baby weight by the back half of the season, or you'll go the way of your character's girlfriend. We've setup backup lesbians (TM) to maintain our demographics." I still will be actually shocked if boots isn't the woman from Oceanside, since she will replace their -1 Asian quota, too.

I have to admit, looking at everything through a lovely AMC lens is distracting as hell.

I don't think a single person remembered her name in this thread thus far so you're right.

It'd be funnier if they charged into battle to avenge their fallen record keeper, and nobody else, though. Also you think Negan would have been really annoyed about that choice given her dumb rear end keeping perfect inventory records for him.

When Rosita was talking to Gabriel and saying how everyone had somebody, or some strength, he goes "What about Sasha?" and she just goes silent and gives 'a look.' I was laughing because I could have easily read this as "Yeah, Sahsa's pretty loving worthless. I can't think of anything she has going for her either. Wait, Sasha has her scowling!"

But then in the awkward smile scene, they gave each other like a 10 second lingering look very specifically.

It's pretty clear what they're implying with it, and we know AMC shows aren't big enough for multiple people in the same demographic, hence my Tara better watch out comment.

I really don't think that was the actual implication. It was about Rosita not bring mad anymore about Sasha "stealing" Abraham. It just sucks because Sasha isn't memorable enough to remember the Abraham stuff, apparently.

Gabriel immediately explains the What About Sasha? line by saying that they essentially suffered the same loss but Sasha isn't behaving suicidally. The glance at the end is Rosita reaffirming her will to live.

Of course it's dumb because Gabriel hasn't even laid eyes on Sasha since Abraham died.
