Still nowhere near the 2 million per episode some GoT cast are getting. And Walking Dead is a way bigger ratings and ad buy powerhouse. It's actually kind of obscene that it took Lincoln this long to renegotiate his contract.

John F Bennett posted:Without windows, it will get a bit chilly during winter. It's part of the siege. This can be a factor and it was a factor in a few early-mordern wars, the second it dips below 40 in Saviortown the people inside are going to start dropping like flies, and there's very little they can do to stop it unless they know some glassblowers, can get the appropriate materials, and then replace the thousand or so windows in only a few days. I would not bet on the show understanding this and using it as a plot point however, because that would put a hole in Negan's plot armor before his due time

You guys know there's like abandoned houses every 10 feet and all of them can be broken down for building supplies. You don't need windows if you have some plywood.

I saw Norman Reedus at a horror con a year or two before WD. He was shoved in a hallway at a table with the 3 or 4 Boondock Saints fans in line. I regret not catching him at that time but it's cool that he's made it big.

I know a few people that have dropped off watching around S7 which I find weird since most people stuck around for the godawful farm arc. Apparently it's better binging through it but I'm not going to relive that bull. The ratings are surprising to me since that they are promoting the poo poo out of in the UK with the ALL OUT WAR posters. Folks are just tuning out and it's definitely Negan Thanks to the folks in this thread like Blazing Ownager that recommended watching S3 of Fear. Just got through all of it and drat.. I daresay it's S1 TWD quality.

Apparently it's better binging through it but I'm not going to relive that bull. Yeah I watched the farm season on a Netflix binge and it didn't strike me as out of the ordinary, actually liked it. S7 was probably it for me, it was just phenomenally stupid, and for a show that relies so heavily on firefights and zombie combat they haven't managed a truly suspenseful or even coherent action sequence since Noah got the revolving door. I'm in no hurry to stream the premiere, even considering watching FTWD S3 against my better judgement instead given what I've read here. Fortunately Z Nation continues to be a good entertaining show made by talented people. e; I mean trailers are low-hanging fruit, right? String together the best of what's to come, add some intriguing shots, hell some of the worst movies have roped me in with a good trailer and I walked out saying "All the good scenes were in the trailer". Even the Season 8 TRAILER is a wet fart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l82kiUvnKM Remy Marathe fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Oct 25, 2017 |

Apparently it's better binging through it but I'm not going to relive that bull. i rewatched the whole series 1-6 a while ago (don't do this it's pretty numbing) and season 2 was definitely still the worst for me until 7, maybe worse than 7. it's just so agonizingly slow and boring for the most part. there were a few good and intense moments, it came after just one very promising and generally high quality season, and even with all the filler it ended with the feeling like it was maybe going somewhere interesting and dark. also the show still had the capacity to surprise since it deviated from the comics a fair amount,. by contrast, i don't care for where the story is going this season, obviously rick will win after an appropriate amount of deaths, i'm going to guess morgan as the big one, and then we'll move on to the next arc. who am i kidding though i'll probably watch the whole season eventually. i'm a sucker for the setting Princeps32 fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Oct 25, 2017 |

I know people dunk on the comics and some people say 'but in the comics this worked so it's great here!' but the truth seems to be 'AMC fucks up translating the comics in critical, critical ways when it tries to adapt them.'

Well it seems like the inevitable rating decline is well underway with season 8 premiere numbers in. But. 11 million is still a lot and with those ad numbers it seems like the show can definitely be profitable for awhile. I think a big test will be how much the ratings go down over this season but I'm going to predict right now that season 10 is probably going to be the final season Have they made an announcement about whether season 9 is happening yet? They usually make this announcement very early in the season based on ratings.

Blazing Ownager posted:Well that puts things in a new context and yeah, that sure would have made the episode way more comprehensible. Like last season when Carl came out of the back of that truck, blasted two of Negan's men, but then refused to take the shot at Negan because he was hiding behind another redshirt (who's life Carl obviously didn't care about like 3 seconds prior)? Handled SO much more competently in the comics. I don't understand what's going through the writers' minds when this poo poo happens, like you already had everything laid out for you, how are you loving it up so bad?

It's funny because at this point TWD practically is televised clickbait. EDIT: I forgave that scene in the recent season of FTWD where zombies were more drawn to a small beeping device on the ground than the sound of the big-rear end truck the characters were driving so I can't really be too harsh on the windows logic.

Snorkzilla posted:making GBS threads pants comes from a joke about a pirate captain who asks for a red shirt before they raid an easy vessel. It makes the blood of his enemies not stain his shirt since it's already red. Then the royal fleet approaches with clear hostile intent and the captain calls for his brown pants. His making GBS threads pants. I haven't read past this point but wouldn't it be a lot better if he actually tauntingly asked if he brought his brown pants? That being the joke, after all...
