A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

I bet the episode ends with them seeing Negan and taking the show (and immediately cutting to black).

Next episode begins with Negan holding Lucille, which took the bullet again.

I'd actually laugh pretty hard if that happened.

Based on the scene where Sasha wants to play it safe with where she takes the shot from, Sasha probably wouldn't get killed except on a season finale battlefield if it weren't for Rosita's plot contrivances that possibly have their roots in writing out Sasha's actress. Running headlong and it suddenly being over was a little anticlimactic but realistic and completely in line with how pointless I'd been expecting this escapade to be for the past 7 episodes.

tbh it's harder and harder today to tune out extraneous casting info, like Sasha being cast in the upcoming Star Trek show or Heath "disappearing" to star in 24, and not let that have implications on the outcome of the season

I think it's different for Sacha. Norman Reedus was on a motorcycle show on AMC during TWD's downtime. The actress who plays Sacha will be the main character on a show on a completely different network. 100% sure she's going to die at some point in the next 2 eps

Someone mentioned Holly earlier and judging by her death I'd guess that's what will happen to Sasha in the finale. Got nothing to back it up with but idle speculation.

Heh yeah...

Speaking of behind scenes stuff.... there has got to be rumours going around about the steep audience drop off. Has AMC been giving them a year to year extension or is there a multi year contract? I hear NOBODY talking about this show nowadays. Odd as there were still some talking about it last season. I know tv ratings are bollocks but surely there has got to be a way to measure the amount of people watching this show as compared to years ago. Just mainly curious as to what AMC will look at and how much longer this show can go on without generating the interest it once had.

I feel like people would hate Rosita and Sasha less if they both just admitted in their dialogue that they're suicidal. But Sasha went through that plot already which means she's 'cured.'

I'm not going to stop hating Rosita until she both extends that babby scar and hardens the gently caress up, or dies, whichever happens first.

What the gently caress was there to talk about this episode? This show has made an art out of making every single scene last way longer than it needs to. It's gotten to the point where everything takes so long, almost nothing actually happens

My God that episode was filllllllllllllller

And holy poo poo, I liked Rosita but she is now dumb as gently caress (seriously, did she get defeated by Sasha fixing a fence right in loving front of her?), and both of them are so.. loving.. stupid. Nothing about their plan made sense. I mean Carl's plan was dumb but I still hold that they've doubled down and are just face-palmingly gently caress-you levels of stupid now. It's ironic since Sasha's finally showing a little personality beyond scowly McScowlton so I'm pretty sure she's dead as doornails.

Yeah. How the gently caress Fear is still around when it makes WD look like a masterpiece is beyond me.

But seriously, the show is just lame as poo poo now. It should be a 6-8 episode season show, it cannot sustain anything longer.

Negan doesn't have people watching the building right next to his home base?

Of course not

You see, they established he's watching all the ways in and out with a perfect vantage point, with explosives on the roads and snipers in the windows

Yet people can walk up to Negan's complex and move inside, then walk around, then walk outside and away without getting caught over and over and over. Not only that, but the whole metal zombie fence thing they keep making a big deal of never stops anyone. Ever.

Basically it is the narrative equivalent of having the characters go to the Death Star, sneak in, and sneak out 5 or 6 times in the same movie. It makes the whole thing look loving pathetic.

ED: I'm not a die hard 'my realism' guy with the tactics poo poo but even by lovely action movie standards these people are loving terrible. Like literally I think Arnold would have a harder time breaking into the compound of his arch rival in any action movie, realism be damned. This goes kind of beyond that.

ED: Oh yeah Daryl also straight up drove away from the place after beating the poo poo out of the guard in broad daylight. It's a fortress, I tell you... I don't know what's worse the fact they keep teasing these assassination plots that can't work or the fact they SHOULD work because their whole security is poo poo

This episode marked the first time I got frustrated enough with the "two people stare at each other and whisper about meaningless poo poo" scenes to fast forward through it. That Sasha and Rosita conversation was so tedious to sit through. Just go loving do something already we get it you're buddies now.

Their plan was ridiculously stupid anyway even before Sasha decided to "save" Rosita. Do they not realize Negan is going to head straight back home to punish them and possibly sabotage the big resistance they are preparing for?

Only good part was Eugene on the radio.

The "i am here because I need your help" scene was superfluous and they pretty much already had the conversation a week ago. I watch DVRed, so at the beginning I get "next time on the walking dead", "next on the walking dead", followed up by "previously on the walking dead" and then a scene of something we have already seen play out between two unlikeable characters with the camera lingering waaaaaaayyyy long after the dialogue.

They got there an hour before, learned knots, saw Eugene, had a lengthy soul searching discussion, all in the time it took for the people in vehicles to make it there from hilltop. :psyduck:

edit: so yeah, way too long to wait for the perfect shot.

edit 2. Negan did not do the lean this episode. At least it had that going for it. His henchmen are ludicrouly better bad guys than neegan himself.

I don't understand what they were trying to convey in the opening scene. They were drawing a map, and each person was taking a turn with what they remembered of the compound? It was so ridiculously overwrought, it was a little hard to watch.

Well that would happen whether they killed him or not. It's not like the Saviors are just going to disband and stop living the good life if Negan dies. If Negan survives he makes an example of them, if he dies Trevor or someone else takes over and makes an example of them. Their plan makes no sense and only serves to get Sasha captured by the Saviors so they can

I've been assuming Rosita was the one who was going to get it since the actress is pregnant. Seems like good timing, you get killed off your very physical TV show on which you are a regular, go get yourself pregnant. Sasha being on a new show is an interesting twist and actually creates a little dramatic tension. Now I am genuinely curious what's going to be happen to those two crazy kids.
