Fog Tripper posted:What was the point of moving it again? The point was to show that Maggie was a competent leader. The blueberry bush scene was to show that she was thinking ahead, and to remind everyone that she grew up on a farm(remember that? She had a sister too). The Phalanx line was to show that she was a competent military leader. Maggie can coordinate the planting in peace time and lead the people during the war, she's the leader Hilltop needs. Unfortunately, as pointed out, transplanting the blueberry bush makes no sense for multiple reasons, and "phalanx out!" is gobbledygook. The writers are trying to write a character more intelligent and competent than they are. That square foot line was completely fine, btw. The first thing you do when planting a garden is figure out how much space you have and what you want to use it for. I will fight to the bitter end about that line

Bates posted:The first 40 minutes was a series of scenes with either sad or angry people standing or sitting while talking about being angry or sad. You can't just have two emotional states in your show. In a visual medium having people mostly stand around talking in dreary locations is lovely and boring. Hey, we also had a horny trash girl Sammus posted:Trashkru is hosed. Do they kiss and make up next season or does Rick kill them all? Third option is they walk away forever. I hope the first 10 minutes is wiping them out or they just disappear. I can't stand it when they talk. They're like the world's cheesiest callout to Thunderdome's lost tribe of useless filler. The one they put up with Michonne, she just reminds me of Sloth from the Goonies. SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Apr 5, 2017 |

If Negan had plot armor this episode then Rick and Carl were manning a plot Abrams. It legit seems like Negan is the smartest tactician but is constantly outwitted by the good guys' ability to Deus Ex Machina. When your whole perimeter and gate guards disappear and cost you the fight a teleporting armored truck is fair imo.

Plot armor itself is fine, no one kills off characters until they fulfill the role they have for them in the story. The problem is putting the characters with plot armor in situations where they logically should definitely die, but don't. Like having an automatic rifle pointed at you held by a character that wants to assassinate you. Or snuggling up to character that famously munched a person to death while he says he wants to kill you at all costs.

I loved when Negan was crouching in the middle of a field next to Tex Cobb and saw Maggie and turned into Yosemite Sam "That widow's alive and guns a'blazin'!"

I wasn't concerned at all when Rick and Coral were getting threatened because I knew there was a way out. Attempts at tension are laughable when you know the characters involved aren't actually in danger.

Attempts at tension are laughable when you know the characters involved aren't actually in danger. That's not quite what I'm talking about, though. There's a difference in putting a character in danger of death (someone's about to shoot them, but something stops them) and putting a character in a situation where they should die (someone's with the desire and will to kill them is pointing a gun at them but doesn't pull the trigger for no reason). Main characters that aren't gonna die are put in danger of death on lots of dramas all the time, that's fine. If you like the show, you feel the danger.

Space Crabs posted:i think maybe you should try really hard to extend that suspension of disbelief you have for a universe where zombies exist to cover that a random assortment of people might not come together and use perfectly correct military terminology that makes sense to you. Bahaha yes the writers are most definitely trying to illustrate the nuance of your average Joe not knowing correct military terms. Thats giving them wayyy too much credit. The entire scene is meant to illustrate Maggie is now a badass leader of Hilltop. That she knows what she's doing. This is no onion and there are no layers. The writers just suck.

Trash Queen and Tiger King are really silly and I really hope this show plays that aspect up a lot more next season. I want to see more people with silly accents and cgi tigers mauling dudes in the middle of big gunfights and less hokey monologues and bad attempts at arthouse scenes every time they kill off another black character. I really enjoyed the finale. The fight was pretty great and despite their best efforts to make it as lame and drawn out as possible, I was actually kinda moved at Sasha's death

I think vehicles in the TWD universe come armored standard. Plenty of scenes cars protecting people from gunfire, including this battle. Cars are probably one of the most common cover items in gunfights. This is true in most tv/movies though so eh

Well I'm sure glad they wasted an entire season on replicating game of thrones. It's like a cheap knockoff. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but was there really only one zombie in this entire episode?

I would probably not use "fully automatic assault weapons" in a sentence. I would probably sperg about never seeing anyone reload a mag since like the prison season. Also about the sudden abundance of ammo in general.

Negan's plan was... what? How did Rick even know when to expect Negan? If Negan knew the plan, why did he only bring a handful of his guys, or better yet why even go to Alexandria? What was the point of the coffin beyond vehicle for Sasha to OD? Why did Hilltop and Kingdom walk to Alexandria yet the magical trash people had trucks? Where did the truck with explosives disappear to?

moist turtleneck posted:Has Eugene had to make a single ding dong ammunition for negan yet For some dumb reason the show changed that bit from the comics about everyone actually needing bullets to where Negan just figured Eugene was a smart guy because he made a bullet and started having him do "smart guy things" around the compound. Maybe they'll have the bullet making be a plot point when they decide guns need bullets next season as a plot device to cause tension when Rick, incredibly sweaty, looks bewildered when Michonne tells him they are almost out of bullets. Fog Tripper posted:Also I could sperg about the offensive strategy consisting of waiting for a convoy of trucks to pull up to your proven-to-be-flimsy walled town. The point is that you shouldn't be. it's kinda pointless to sperg out about stuff like that because people are calling it "armored" due to it's specific make and model because it also teleported magically. I'm sure army trucks of that make and model don't typically transition through space and time as if by magic to suit the needs of their drivers either.

You might as well be asking why people turn into zombies. The show sticks to general ideas (Negan escapes in truck to fight another day) that aren't based on any sort of specifics (how did the truck get there in the first place?).
