I was almost hoping that Rick would go from person to person and see that they're all bitten and this keeps playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmd1qMN5Yo0

This season has been aggressively boring. It feels like they're trying to be super arty about the plot while still having badass action sequences but it's also incredibly disjointed and I don't have enough of an investment to any of the characters anymore to really care at all.

I don't have the energy to summarize. I don't care enough anymore about the nonsensical plot and the bad writing to go that extra mile. The Walking Dead doesn't deserve careful recaps or deep analysis anymore. Its producers and writers are either lazy or hacks or some horrible combination of the two. Whatever the case, this episode was embarrassing to watch. I can only imagine how embarrassing it must be to have written, produced, directed or acted in it." It goes on: "And just as inexplicably, Simon lets them all go back to the Hilltop without a scratch. Well, to be fair, he kills a guy. Neil. Good ol' Neil who we just met tonight. Man, that sucks that they killed Neil. We really cared about that guy."

Is it too much to hope that they are going to go for a double misdirect in the show? Carl is bit! Oh no! Carl survives!!! He must be immune, let's all put aside our differences to work together and try to figure out how he can be immune. The Doctor and Eugene get involved. This carries on for a few episodes until we discover the Whisperers and realise he was never immune.

Normally I like to think that TV IV ruins anything by over analysing and discussing things but I couldnt even make it through 5 minutes of the last two episodes before turning it off and deciding to watch someone on youtube do teardowns of junk from Deal Extreme instead. This show is loving garbage.

This is the part of the show that really makes you wonder who the gently caress writes this. Like if the Saviors are such villains, this kill one person poo poo is so limp dicked to almost be a joke. Oh hey you can kill a hundred of us but we'll execute one of you, lesson learned. I mean the 'good' guys summarily execute most enemy they come across and yet the villains literally go out of their way to give people how many chances. I know the bullshit 'they want a labor force' but frankly a labor force that constantly rebels is a bigger liability than... oh gently caress it why am I putting more thought to this than the writers.

Man this is bad. There is like 10 minute scene in the middle where that saviour talks to maggie and I feel none of it matters. Negan was nattering on and I just let it play while I did some chores and when I came back he was still talking.

afaik the bite doesn't infect you with anything beyond what would normally kill you in our current reality if a loving rotting corpse bit into you and and your veins, you just die and everyone is infected so you turn, so carl would die anyway. If he was immune he just wouldn't turn. gr8 theory

Senor Tron posted:Is it too much to hope that they are going to go for a double misdirect in the show? They sort of already did that in Fear season 2b but it could still be on the table. However Chandler Riggs seems genuinely disappointed (but taking it well) about it and it kind of looks like he has confirmed they are not bringing him back from this. I don't think it's a fakeout.

I feel sort of unsure about what actually happened. It's so dark through the whole episode though, that doesn't help. When there's no detail of numbers it just turns into the stupidness of Game of Thrones where one side can be totally outnumbered and on the verge of losing but then suddenly has shitloads of spare soldiers just somewhere.

That episode with the icy lake cements his level of intelligence and plot armour to be on par with rick. I kinda feel like that's the danger of any one designated 'hero who will stay for the duration of the show'. On a long enough timeline the writers get lazy/slip up and the character's plot armor becomes so bloody apparent, that it just hurts. I was honestly hoping and cheering for Jon to actually frikking stay dead at the end of S5, but eh...here we are I guess with boatsex. At this point I'm honestly sorta glad there's just gonna be S8 and that's confirmed gonna be the end. In a way it makes me morbidly curious to see The Walking Dead shithouse continue, just so that I can see how low Rick Grimes can go. And though the comic deffo throws him several such moments, it doesn't even remotely come close to the show lol. CrazyLoon fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Dec 12, 2017 |

He probably mentioned wanting to go to college at some point so the producers decided to get rid of him before he would quit.

I honestly thought he had started already. They left him back, Rosalita (she was pregnant, had a baby over the summer) and Michonne (now an Avenger). I figured all three of them weren't readily available for filming which is why they were barely in it this season.

I heard there was also to be some contract renegotiation where he wanted more money. It is amazing how many people are fully turning on the show now that they killed off carl.

The show is getting some serious hate at the moment which is a little weird because it's not like it was very good before this mess. It does seem like the writers have actively tried to piss off everyone though.

Of course it was a mess before this, but as much as I hate referencing  for anything, this description really does seem what it's headed towards with CARRRRRL being legitimately offed:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBase Like, I can just see the factions within the fandom split into the two extreme camps (it was great/it loving sucks) and neither realizing that all this is happening because of just how poo poo the writing is lol. But yea, they just need to do some kind of shayamalalalayn twist like the Glenn dumpster, make Carl's actor lie and rehire him (or he and his dad are lying right now, but lol, I doubt they put that much effort into the deceit like Kit Harrington did with Jon Snuh) and ta-dah. They got their audience roped for awhile longer. But if they do legit kill him off, then lmao - they got so lazy they guaranteed this.

Finally got around to watching the mid-season finale. It was murkily filmed, badly edited, disjointed, confusing, poorly written, terrible directed, and then all that awfulness was topped off with a brainless decision to off a major character for “story reasons” (ignoring he is a major part of the story going forward in the comics). It was for the usual shock value - substituting the shock value of death for actual interesting writing is a dead-end for me. You can always write off a bad individual episode to a confluence of events that isn’t to going to be readily repeated, but this time I think they simply jumped the shark on all levels. Maybe if they announce Scott Gimple is being fired and that the episode is going to be undone, but other than that, I think I’m done with it.
