Eugene's location doesn't strike me as a glaring error. He was outside, so *shrug*.

It's true that our reaction to stuff would depend on whether we generally like or dislike the show. Something we handwave on a show we like, we blow it up on a show we dislike, no matter how insignificant. A character in danger on a show we like is tense, but it's laughable on a show we dislike, even if the situation is exactly the same. Breaking Bad had it's share of logical problems, but I ignore them because I loved it.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but was there really only one zombie in this entire episode?

On the Talking Dead, there was a little factoid pop-up stating this was the first episode to feature only one walker since the episode with Dale's death.

Nah, if you're relying on viewers to create drama for you you aren't doing a very good job of writing material. The reason the walking dead doesn't get any slack is because every episode is a hack job.

That's absolutely amazing.

Also, didn't Eugene start reading a history book when trapped in a garage during like the Wolves attack or something. So, you know he knows his poo poo on this.

Oh and, lame request, have Rick give the signal to Rosita, who hits the button, and then cut to the Zombie explosion from Terminus.

Making Eugene into a legit traitor shows me again that they have no idea how to utilize what could be the best character in the show.

Eugene megaphoning some dumb Eugene-code that only Tara could interpret would be funny to me.

Agreed. Though I would find it hilarious if it was all still an act, that he committed to wholeheartedly, but no they hosed it all up.

Honestly I like the idea that he is a big coward and is only working with Negan because he's afraid. They will do something to redeem him I'm sure. We already saw that with how he gave Sasha the pill, and it appears Negan thinks he is responsible for that.

The whole reason Eugene is ok with Negan is because he didn't have to be afraid of dying to a bat all the time.

Negan just made it clear he thinks Eugene is responsible for Sasha's death, so now Eugene will be afraid of dying to a bat.

That's the set up for his betrayal next season.

Do you honestly think a gunfight of PTSD suffering ex Walgreens employees would even look half as cool as what we saw?

Firing a gun (well) is loving hard. I've always enjoyed the level of detail the set armourer does with weaponry but laugh a little when I see Darrell using a rifle with a barrel shroud that I didn't even know existed. Which means it was probably made very recently.

The fact that you used the term "barrel shroud" cracks me up.

Dude, it was just a handguard that was as long as the barrel. You should be more concerned that an obvious civilian built full auto rifle made it's way into the hands of our heroes.

No Negan is legitimately the best character on the show. That doesn't say much since most of the characters are insufferable and/or retarded but yea

They need to take the best characters from both shows and put them together. What I'm saying here is Negan/Strand Buddy Show. :colbert:

That's the biggest issue I have with the weapons. Everything is full auto. Hell I'd almost swear some of the bolties were too. And it's not like "Oh, well people modified them after the collapse" because they've had full access to full auto weaponry since the start with a seemingly unending supply of various ammo. The only real gun I saw was that M44 Glenn/Magie used with the bonus folding baby skewer. The only downsides to it are it's loud as gently caress and spits a goddamned fireball. I know this because I own one and two of it's big brothers

I assume Gregory tipped of Neegan, which means he knows Rick was organizing all the towns, what the gently caress does Rick have to do before Neegan decides to punt on ruling through fear with him? Would have made more sense to shoot Carl and Rick and tell everyone else that's what happens to traitors.

If you want peak insanity go read the live-airing of the Westworld thread where people were convinced the show was being modified based on audience reaction every other episode, which is super ludicrous given it runs on a TWO year wind up schedule.

Well the casing Rosita had Eugene reload for her 9mm(?) was a .50 cal from the deagle. Harry Potter ammo.

In defense of the full auto bot guns, maybe Pederson Devices are plentiful in the HP/TWD universe?
