My favorite parts of that episode had to be the ludicrous fact anyone shot their way out of that, and the fact the garbage people were assholes and called filthy garbage people as their official name without batting an eye. What the gently caress was wrong with AMC creating these people, they're like .. they're like they are actually from Fallout but time traveled 400 years ago back to this show. They make no sense in context. Also the fact Negan's plot armor is so ridiculous he felt confident sticking his arm out of the window and flipping them off. I SO wanted Gabriel to blow off Negan's hand on the way out, which would have been an hilarious switch up from comic Rick having only one hand. But nope. Plot armor rides again. He's like those people who play GTA Online with God Mode and just go around flipping people off and griefing. Man the stupid last second arrival timing was terrible. I don't even like that cliche in good shows like Game of Thrones, let alone here.

LadyPictureShow posted:Right when tiger-ex-machina happened and the Kingdom/Hilltop crews both sprang into action, my boyfriend who had been quiet the entire fight scene finally said 'This. Is. loving. Terrible.' Rick and Negan have a five minute conversation about which side the dead guy was on Nobody can remember ever seeing him before That's a show I could watch

XyrlocShammypants posted:Wow that was utter garbage. Walking Dead pretending they are high drama or something. Easily the worst season finale of any season yet. Nah. The prison finale was worse becuse they A-Team'ed the whole thing not killing anyone (Carl made the only kill of the whole battle) and then the Governor killed the entire town firing an assault rifle with one hand, in one burst, without getting shot. That loving suuuuuucked. This was worse than the farm and Herschel's unlimited ammo shotgun and that's saying something though.

Iowa Snow King posted:"Shiva, attack!" Honestly the scene where Negan is telling Simon it's time to retreat then they drive off while a dreadlocked guy with a tiger shoots at them really, really made me want to dub that scene with a "COBRRRAAAAAAAAAA RETREAAAAAAAAAAT." They need to murder the garbage people in revenge in the first episode of next season.

The trash people is probably the direction this show should go in though. Just introduce wackier and wackier elements in every episode. I mean it probably wouldn't be good but it's not exactly good now so why not just go crazy?

But there's already a better zombie show with Zany Trash Crew-style episodes. Walking Dead's only appeal is that it's the "serious, gritty" zombie show.

You know I think the directing on this show is just the shittiest ever at this point. Do they even get known talent at this point to do these episodes? It seems to beat you over the head with stuff so much, it's clumsy. "THIS IS WHERE WE FEEL INSPIRED. THIS IS WHERE WE INSERT INSPIRING QUOTE. BE INSPIRED. BE INSPIRED." feels like the 'subtext' through half the episode, screaming it in your ear, without giving us anything inspiring to look at. Orange Red Bull posted:Gov still has the highest kill count of any non-walker on the show Even in named character kills. Yep. Well other than Carol but she's not killed as many mains.

The stupid sepia tone shots with Maggie and Sasha + the scenes with Abraham were so pointless it makes me embarrassed that I used to defend this show. At no point was I concerned for anybody in any of the situations they were in just because it was so obvious there would be something to save them. Not even gonna DVR the show next season. Sad!

So the biggest problem here is that the show continues to follow the comics to a great extent. Give we can see where the comics are right now it would be a very bad choice to go on with the next tedious plot lines in the show. This show is a ratings whore though and as long as it pulls 10 million an episode they don't care how bad it is. It's The Big Bang Theory of zombies.

Yeah, as I was waiting for a tattoo yesterday I was explaining to my friend just how awful this show was and he simply looks at me and asks, "well... why are you still watching it then?" My response was  But I'm done with this show now, holy cow. Trash people had them all dead to rights, neither the Kingdom nor Hilltop thinks to block Negan's escape route even though they're tooooootally hosed if he escapes, and yeah, those stupid loving dream flashbacks, jesus. How much time was wasted on those? loving twenty minutes? Like, the actors have to realize after they see the post-editing that this is poo poo, right?

I just love how awesome/cringeworthy their attempts to make the show or people in the show be badass. Maggie's "Phalanx Out!" when it's just a group of straggling randos. Carol's "Guns Up!" as if that wasn't obvious or they weren't already at the ready. Ezekiel's charging yells at the last scene. I mean these are like lovely 5 cent ideas that indie film teenagers making their first movie do. Not "the biggest show on TV." They can't even seem to put more than 30 seconds of thought into them. I imagine the shooting days are like Director: "Alright Maggie this scene isn't really working... when the camera pans to you I want you to say something cool." Maggie: "Uh.. .like what?" Director: "Hmmm... Phalanx Out! That sounds cool!" Maggie: "What is that?" Director: "I think I saw it on a game of Total War I played back in 2002." Maggie: "That sounds really dumb can we just - " DIrector: "ALRIGHT CAMERA SPEEDS!"

When they introduced the garbage people I wondered what the in-universe explanation for them all wearing black was. Now I know the actual reason, it was so we could tell dead garbage people apart from dead Alexandrians when the camera was panning over corpses. Because none of them were characters. None of them were even recurring extras. Without the color coding, nobody could tell the difference

I'm glad I didn't hear Maggie's PHALANX OUT  line. I probably would've just turned the show off right then, jfcBest part was Negan's reaction to seeing Maggie, in fact I think that was the only good part of the entire 1.5hr episode. About five seconds. Yup.

How loving stupid is it that this show doesn't even have recurring extras? If they're gonna be so gutless that they won't kill a single named character in the loving ten minute long season finale firefight, at least they should at least have established recurring extras so the audience can go, "oh no, they killed that guy who shows up in the background carrying lumber sometimes"

So the finale was Sasha owning herself for no reason and Michonne getting the poo poo kicked out of her? Plus a bunch of redshirts died. Also, Rick seemed to forget he got shot.

I guess if people are miffed that rick trusted the dumpster people after a 2 min fight match with a zombie. That fight match lasts two issues in the books and has more impact as to why he trusted them. So bad translation from book to show.

Watching that episode, I realized I was enjoying it only because my expectations for how they would end the season were so low. But man, that shootout was frustrating. I kept waiting to see people actually get shot, but apparently slight crouching is an unbeatable defense. And how the Alexandrians somehow overcame the Saviours plus an entire other army holding them at gun point...

I was drunk enough to forget about the Kingdom guys when I watched this so I was actually surprised when they showed up so I think I enjoyed this more than I should have. The Sasha headphone/hallucination scenes were all awful and should have been cut. Anyway the fact that the trash people were able to get the drop on them was just poor planning on Rick's part. It's like he intentionally paired up one trash person with one Alexandrian so they'd instantly all be covered. Rick should have been surrounded by his most loyal people and nobody should have been allowed to touch the bombs but his group. I am definitely looking forward to the next 7 episodes showing both sides building up for the "war" that will last 5 minutes at the end of episode 8 (if we're lucky - they might just drag it even more).
