Also what was in that case at the end? Is that a standard container for a new Chekov's RPG?

Works that are driven by only one author or a few working closely together tend to have a cohesive point that the author is trying to make, like Better Call Saul. The only way to square "we did the hard things that had to be done", like when Carol slayed the bandits headed for the Alexandrian armory, with how the Alexandrian bandits raided the Oceanside armory is protagonist-centered morality.

Trevorrrrrrrrrrrrr posted:So who's negan's little birdy? Gregory hadn't visited the saviors yet so it has to be someone else. The trash queen maybe? You know what? I just realized who it was; and if I turn out to be right, this may be an example of pretty clever foreshadowing (despite whatever faults the rest of the show has). Remember last night's episode? The one where Gregory and Simon got to talking? And Gregory was all "hey man, there might be some rabble-rousers gunning for my seat, and they don't play nice like I do"? And then Simon gave him that handwritten note to where he could go if he had any concerns? Well, I think that's what happened. That whole scene, as well as the one in today's episode (where he takes out a handwritten note and asks Kal for a local road map), was all build up to him being the snitch. It wasn't Eugene who sold them out, it was Gregory. Fionordequester fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Mar 28, 2017 |

Gregory's absolutely going to get killed at the gates of the sanctuary in the finale. Maggie should use him as a battering ram.

There really are people who are still having a great time with TWD, although Chris Hardwick is obviously only in for the paycheck. What's this about someone snitching to Negan? Did I miss something recently?

My favorite Chris Hardwick acting moment: when every week he has to chippily say "THANKS FOR STAYING UP ANOTHER HOUR TO SEE US!" because they're pre-empting Talking Dead for that stupid Badlands show. They're even doing it the week of the loving finale.

Something Awful doesn't represent EVERYONE you know  .EDIT: That said though, this season IS getting a little repetitive. And I wasn't terribly thrilled about what Alexandria did to Oceanside either. They're BASICALLY proving them right in why they needed to murder everyone who found their village, and I hate it when that happens in a show.

moist turtleneck posted:I skimmed through this last night but I'll watch it for real today but from what I can tell it was... Dumber than a grimbly grunk The saddest thing is how many review sites thought that episode was "the best of the season," and actually suggested it was tense. To me it was a return to the lovely cop-out 1st prison fight A-Team tactics and bat-poo poo insane ideas on diplomacy and overall sucked nuts, but hey, I'm not paid to review poo poo for major publications lifts cats over head posted: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. Yep, it was doubly as hilarious given she literally just took part in robbing them and their reaction was "Our leader won't let us fight, waa waa" and not "gently caress THESE PEOPLE." Flip those bitches the bird! moist turtleneck posted:I'm sure there's some kind of stupid symbolism behind Negan being clean shaven and saving people while Rick grows a beard and steals guns You know people give Walking Dead poo poo because it's a zombie show, or say it's run out of gas after so many seasons but I actually don't think that's true. There's potential in these stories and ideas, just shiiiiit execution. If this season was Rick turning as bad as Negan to fight Negan using his own tactics, it could have been some compelling TV. Instead they think his sudden willingness to rob motherfuckers blind is being a good guy, to the point the show doesn't have a SINGLE person start shooting at Rick so they don't have to hurt anyone and can remain "good guys." Seriously I think that's what bothered me the most; it's the fact NOBODY put up a fight when like a dozen people should have responded with literal automatic weapons fire; after all, for all anyone ELSE knows, it's the Saviors coming to call.

I mean at the most shallow level it was tense. It's just that the tension came from whether or not the protagonists were going to massacre a group of women and children they were robbing blind. The average person is probably like "Holy poo poo! I felt something while watching the walking dead! 10/10!!"

I wonder if a single person in the writing room said "You know, maybe Rick should try to send a diplomatic gesture to them to trade for their weapons while having heavy backup outside to blow stuff up if his envoy is threatened" like a sane person (I was kind of shocked how they handled this, even by TWD standards). I also wonder if that person was laughed out of the writing room before everyone did another line of coke

Tara ninja'd into grandma's place and waited for her to eventually come in, and the whole thing was timed? This after what timeframe from when they chased Tara around the camp with guns and at this point KNEW she got away from her "guides". Yet they are less on guard than then? So very much wring with the writing.

I can't decide if it's budget or laziness. They called all the extras in and the set is there - how much time would it really take to shoot Tara crawling around in some bushes and jimmying a window or something? It wouldn't have to be a cinematic masterpiece to still add a little tension.

This show just does things and it doesn't matter if it makes sense. Tara needs to be in the room when Old Lady Leader walks in to ambush her? Okay, let's cut to Tara in the room. Someone is about to rape Sasha? Okay, here's Negan. Lather, rinse, repeat.

What would've happened if they grabbed their guns and started shooting at Rick's people? Why are you talking about this like it was a real world event that had multiple possible outcomes? The writers had one single outcome and that was Rick gets the guns and they team up with Oceanside (even if it takes them a bit to come to their senses). There was never a possibility that Rick and crew would loving murder all of them. That is something the writers never would have done so if you felt tension from that scene then you have totally given the writers wayyyyyyyyy too much credit.

I thought not showing anything at all of Sasha's invasion was also super lame. You don't have to do "saviour depot invasion v.2.0", but I dunno, show her holed up somewhere and someone getting the jump on her or something. She wasn't prepared to surrender, so what made that happen? Again, the writers know what they want to have happen so they just force things to make them fit the desired end goal. Which is bad and dumb.
