Wasn't the plot of episode 1 literally using explosives to lead the herd to the sanctuary? But now that is a bad enough idea that Rick and Daryl would fight over it?

Daryl wanted to use the explosives to kill Saviors. Of course, not using the explosives on Saviortown means they all starve to death because they don't have the numbers to fight their way out of the massive horde (I mean yeah, Negan's gonna Plot his way out of this one but it's still Rick's Plan A) Which is infinitely more painful and drawn out than getting vaporized by dynamite.

I'm hoping the helicopter is like the ones that were in the last episode of Season 1 of Jericho. The two towns were gearing up for a massive war. As far as they knew, civilization and govt had collapsed, and one town was trying to take over and enslave the other. They had armed a bunch of people and were ready for an all out fight. Then helicopters swoop in. The next season starts 5 minutes later, as the actual govt (well one of them) and the Army come in with real soldiers and military grade weapons and shut down their pissant little war in 2 seconds flat. Would love to see that on TWD.

They pretty much have to do something after the whole Negan thing runs its course in 3 or 4 seasons time. I think after that all they do in the comics is potter around having a little society and nothing interesting happens at all.

Well, there's the Whisperers arc, which at first seems like they're going to be a different kind of enemy with a different dynamic to everything the groups have encountered before. But then it turns out it's exactly the same as every conflict they've had. Someone from one side dies, retaliation occurs, people on the other side die, some people switch sides, then it devolves into all out war... and guess what plan the whisperers come up with? It's brilliant: they lead a herd into Rick's base! Only this is totally original from anything we've seen before because it's an even bigger herd than ever! It's basically just same same. So I guess you're right, not particularly interesting, except right at the start when they're introduced.

Johnny Truant posted:My episode cut out after Daryl and Rick were pointlessly fighting They didn't have the budget to show the RPG and stuff so they had to blow it up by Daryl randomly throwing a bag full of TNT, unlit, at a truck which made it explode meaning the TNT must have been so old it'd blown up in Daryl's pocket otherwise. They then both sat down to have a goofy conversation 10 feet from jeep that was FILLED WITH EXPLOSIVES AND AMMO is detonating next to them. I'd laughed if they suddenly got both killed by ammo cooking off. ED: Actually how the gently caress did that go? The truck didn't explode, at first. It caught fire. How did throwing a bag of unlit dynamite start a fire?

Princeps32 posted:is Jericho actually good later? i watched the pilot and thought it was super corny and not in a fun z-nation kind of way It is. There's a lot of drama in the town, but then as they find out more about the state of the rest of the world it gets even better. Not that the town stuff was bad--it was a realistic take on how a small, isolated town might cope with the end of the world. It also has Lennie James. The second season suffers because it was the one where the fans did the campaign to get it uncancelled. So we get 7 more episodes with a much reduced budget and cast, and it ended on a sort of cliffhanger (well at least the promise of a continuation of a new and very interesting arc).

Yeah, this is pretty much how it always goes with this show. It's too bad because as we saw on FTWD there are other, interesting societies and groups out there. Even if they didn't go the route of "remnants of US govt and Army try to take over" they could venture out and find strange new post apoc peoples--and not absurd ones like the Trash People. Before they blew up the entire world except part of the VA/MD countryside on The 100 last season, they could have done season after season of them finding strange new Bunker People and odd enclaves all over the US and world.

That was the first episode in the season that didn't confuse the gently caress out of me. If only the rest of the season could be from the Saviour's point of view with the Alexandrians filling the role of malevolent barbarians.joepinetree posted:Wasn't the plot of episode 1 literally using explosives to lead the herd to the sanctuary?

The whole point of the apocalypse genre is 1) How would you survive 2) Look at all the crazy poo poo people have been up to. Survival is interesting enough to have spawned a bunch of reality shows about people drinking piss and digging dirt howels. Building stuff and innovating solutions seems pretty popular generally. Imagining all the crazy poo poo people might do gives you pretty much limitless possibilities to come up with whatever. TWD decided to do none of that and instead

The director of this episode is Michael E. Satrazemis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0766349/?ref_=tt_ov_dr He did this episode, the carol and the crazy kids episode, the one where carl kissed enid, the tara visits gurltown ep, the lake with a pontoon with guns ep, and beth's visit to the emergency room. If I remember correctly those were all diamonds in the rough

Has getting sick from "gutting up" ever been mentioned before, in either show? Because if it has I don't remember it and right at the end there I though Gabriel had been bitten, until someone in this thread pointed out the connection between that bit of dialogue and his fever.

I think the first time they did it, Rick said 'don't get it in your eyes or mouth' or something, but other than that, it's worked for non-throwaway characters. Any bets on Gabe just faking it?

I dunno he seemed pretty shivery and sweaty. Way back in the second episode when they first did it, it was a good idea. And the tension when it started raining was also a nice idea for a problem they had to deal with on the fly, making it not a perfect solution. But when coming up with a method like that of being able to do something in the show's universe that allows characters to pretty easily circumvent one of the main dangers of the show, writers should always be thinking "ok, this has to have a serious drawback or else it'll be Why don't they do this all the time?" And it took them 8 years to come up with one. Cactus fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 21, 2017 |

All I can guess on the humvee fire is that there was already a fire and the bag itself was flammable and bridged the gap to some spilled diesel or something kind of like the great fire of 1979 that supposedly started in your garage when that chipmunk ingested some fertilizer and then fell into a can of kerosene, instantly turning him into a flying little fluffy little molotov cocktail that set ablaze leveling the whole neighborhood west of Newton's Hardware Store
