It seems like they could have asked nicely before blowing things up and attracting ocean-walkers.

I love how stupid every little detail is, I mean today's minor nitpick stupidity: Eugene hands her the pill in a plastic bag. Which means someone will find the bag and know she took a pill instead of being "What the gently caress killed her? Who killed her? How'd they kill her? Wish we had a better doctor!" ED: Well, at least know that something was in the cell that should not have been there. Tenzarin posted:Suck it peaceful community! "I get it now. We can run away, live like these people or fight.. I mean.. these people have a thriving community and seem happy since they escaped Negan's army. Fuuuuck that."

some guy on the bus posted:Walking Dead writers are probably the kind of people that would believe Negan is against rape because he marries them, right? I don't know about that but they are the kinds of people who think you could recruit a rival community to join you in a war by robbing them at gunpoint. ED: Also can I say how incredibly stupid it was not a SINGLE PERSON in the town they were hitting because they had too many guns put Rick's crew in a do-or-die firefight? I mean they were preparing with scouts and assault weapons to fight Negan's crew and like 3 dudes with guns show up and they SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY? gently caress this episode is so stupid, it's actually a black hole of stupid the more you think about it. Even more than usual. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Mar 27, 2017 |

Stickarts posted:35 posts. drat. I outright skipped it and I haven't done that since season 2. Correction: I caught a few scenes here and there (Negan monologuing at Sasha, Maggie and Gregory, the gun "loan", the pill, and Dwight switching sides) and figured I got the gist of the episode

The next episode will be Rick's group doing an ambush on one of the Savior's runs and then Negan will find out about it and lean and say, "Look at the balls on you, Rick!" and then some minor character will die and next season will still be boring even during a war in the zombie apocalypse.

I salute those still watching. With half of the fun being wondering who will die next, I feel this show has a very low replay value.

Well it looks like it's going to end the season exactly the way I though--a cliffhanger right before the major battle, with no payoff as to whether they beat Negan or not. I did think of one fairly simple plan Rick could use to beat them, but they'd never do anything so easy. All he'd have to do is get his armed people to surround Alexandria and hide, and do something to piss off Negan so he comes in person. Negan will come, swinging his dick with a whole bunch of guys. He won't bring his whole army, but he'll bring enough to beat unarmed Alexandria. Rick walks up to him in the street and while Negan is Neganing, out steps the combined armed troops of Alexandria, Hilltop, and The Kingdom, surrounding Negan's men. He locks them up and takes their guns, and then drives right up to the Savior compound with his army and stands before the gates with Negan in chains. Tells them to surrender or Negan dies. If they refuse, he shoots Negan and fights. If they agree, they march out unarmed and sit like the people did this past episode. Rick's army goes into the compound, takes the guns. They lock up all of Negan's henchmen in the Savior compound and move in for a couple weeks, interrogating the former slaves. Based on their testimony and the witness testimony of all the people from Alexandria, Hilltop, and The Kingdom as to who Negan's men terrorized and which of them did what, they hold trials and execute or banish the guilty, the hand the compound over to the former slaves.  But of course that's too easy, so instead he'll roll up with an army and fight Negan's entire force while it's secure in a fort.

Blazing Ownager posted:"I get it now. We can run away, live like these people or fight.. I mean.. these people have a thriving community and seem happy since they escaped Negan's army. Fuuuuck that." That's consistent with their decisions throughout the show though - if you find a successful community, do the most opposite thing you can think of. Find a community that's secure enough to run an old folks home - go camp in the woods, immediately get overrun by a herd. Find a prosperous community in an impregnable city fortress - leave for the countryside, almost die of dehydration while being relentlessly chased by walkers over open ground. Find a community that thrives by avoiding war - take their guns and start a war.

This show is bullshit. They can't keep edging their audience like this. A 16 episode season means 10 should be the rising tension, 4 should be the main event, and 2 should be resolution and leading to next season. Instead it's 15.5 episodes of rising tension and 0.5 of the main event, no resolution, and guaranteed that the first two episodes of next season will be flashbacks and pointless side stories that ultimately are meaningless, allowing them to skate into the mid season finale with still no resolution to last season's main event

I still can't get over how incompetent their colony was. We saw they have scouts, are heavily armed (the whole point of being there), etc. yet not a single one of them even tried to engage the unknown marauders that might as well have been Negan's forces for all they knew. Not a single loving one pushed it to an armed confrontation. They were so incompetent nobody had guns protecting anything anywhere in the camp. Holy poo poo. All so the show could try to make Rick, who was robbing them blind, look like the good guy with sudden A-Team rules back in play, the first time since the first Prison fight. YA BOY ETHAN COUCH posted:This show is bullshit. Every single time someone goes on a kill Negan quest I immediately bash my head into a wall because I know they'll just suddenly get infected with The Stupid the second they see him. It's like he has a superpower of anyone that seems him turns into a moron. YA BOY ETHAN COUCH posted:"thank you for robbing us, you guys are definitely better than the saviors who only ask for food and replaceable supplies instead of our guns" The people in the crowd going "Yeah! We should fight!" while being robbed had me laughing my rear end off. It was Rogue One background chatter levels of terrible.

I was at the playground with my kid yesterday and I overheard a group of sassy women talking about TWD and heard someone say "Ok. I'm all caught up for tonight's episode and I swear to god if something, anything, doesn't happen I'm over it." So even your average housewife is sick of it!

I said I don't want to be used, and if I become a walker, they'll just put me out their in their walker wall, and I don't want that. Please give me something to take out my head."

If they just started considering hostages as already dead then they are on equal footing as Negan. Both sides of this conflict are glass cannons. The only advantage Negan had was them not knowing the location of is compound. Just hide in the woods and take pot shots at anyone who leaves Negan's compound. Whenever Negan shows up to your compound hide in the woods and take pot shots at him until he leaves. This is without considering the millions of other things that could kill either group like tainting their water supply or setting boobie traps with the explosives they just wasted.

Was there something from the previous episode with the beach crew that explained Tara's middle finger? I don't feel like re-watching to find out. I think I would like that character development of Tara just randomly being a dick to kids.
