I keep watching this show and like for some reason I'm entertained but the whole time I'm like "this is trash" and "this moment is so dumb." And then I come here and like 50% of the thread can't follow even basic clues. "WHAT IS RICK SMILING AT?"

My new favorite character is the weary old school teacher savior in charge of hustling The Kingdom. He's just so bored with the apocalypse he cant even be hosed to count watermelons.

The Kingdom appears to be self sustaining and have as good of a deal with Negan as one can have. Aside from his own Guy loving things up every now and then it has to be the easiest and most boring supply run.

They were light on the tribute though, so his nonchalance could be taken as sign that the saviors are planning to attack them soon. Not that any such subtlety is necessary in this show since they followed it up with a brawl and him literally saying things are going to get visceral to Ezekial.

Yeah I was like how is this old beleaguered dude in charge of anything. He looked like he was about two minutes from shooting his own self in the head.

He will no doubt be replaced by someone more "energetic", which will in turn set off a chain of events which leads to the kingdom joining the war.

galenanorth posted:I think the writers thought that because people liked The Kingdom, they could add a second group that acted eccentrically and use it as a substitute for character. All the sentences had long pauses, mostly with about five syllables for dramatic effect. They were also copying from better previous and comic-future raider-type groups. I thought they acted all strange and unified and with their own culture (in a way that made no sense) so the way she looked and talked totally made me think I was watching a Star Trek episode and Rick was dealing with some crashed Romulans or something, it was loving strange. This wasn't helped when they decided trial by combat was a thing.

Caper posted:Darryl lied about Abe and Glenn You know those video games where they take all your weapons, including your favorite weapon that kicks all kinds of rear end, then they don't give your favorite gun back and constantly tease you with getting it back and it stops being clever and starts making you hate the game? There is an analogy in there somewhere about Carol. Take your most compelling character and plop then on the sidelines for a whole season. gently caress off with your terrible Carol arc show, I just want to see her find out what happened and go to her basement and arm up. I made a John Wick joke some pages back but Carol actually could manage it.

So this is loving hilarious. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/walking-dead-may-have-subtly-trolled-itself-in-best-episode-this-season_us_58a68ebfe4b037d17d267969 Huffington Post spends 80% of the episode review getting angry about female zombies wearing dresses and thinks the whole opening scene was a subtle dig against zombies wearing dresses. The gently caress. Caper posted:So the new group's leader chick is named Jadus?? Is she from Krypton? I could totally buy this. Nothing about those people felt human. Fog Tripper posted:But you see, after killing who needs to be killed there would be nothing left of her. They try so damned hard to be deep and introspective, but it really ends up being so much convoluted word mush. The problem is her whole arc sucks so much and is out of nowhere, and actively ruins the best part about Carol's unlikely arc. Maybe I'm just in a Wick mood, but Carol totally needs to have almost this exact scene rather than them dragging it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghTaT9wneYQ "You can either hand over your Negan, or you can die screaming along side him!!!" Maybe we'll get lucky and Trevor will do something dumb like burn down her loving house. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Feb 20, 2017 |

I noticed one of the trash people seemed out of place with his face mostly covered. Is that going to turn out to be someone we've seen before or something? Otherwise it really doesn't make any sense. Not that anything about that group does...

This wasn't helped when they decided trial by combat was a thing. I think that's exactly it. They ran out of ideas for post-apocalypse living styles, and realistically future groups would appear too similar to ones we've seen before, so they're pulling out the Planet of Hats trope for each society. If it's just about building up the numbers for some final battle, this episode could have been halved for time and merged with Tara's standalone episode by cutting out the parts where they explained how all the men died (The Walking Dead is now under the Live Action section). galenanorth fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Oh, now I remember. The same boot as at the boat scene was shown outside Alexandria at the end of the midseason finale, and that took place immediately before the pantry scene as the midseason premiere. As Gabriel drove away, they showed that someone had been hiding in the passenger's seat by showing a rising silhouette. Then toward the end of the second episode of the half-season, Gabriel explains what happened. If they weren't always dropping vague hints for suspense, they could have done it at all at once in the junkyard, and then there would be slightly more suspense about Father Gabriel's character instead of who the boot belonged to.
