Johnny Truant posted:the way i dig it is they're corpses, rotting corpses nonetheless, so they're full of some pretty nasty bacteria. the zombie bite/scratch/gore covered whatever kills not via the zombie virus but just from a regular infection, sepsis. Except it never ever works like that. It's the reason Gabriel can be saved, it's because he JUST has an infection from the zombie guts. (This makes the plot point even more ridiculous since we just established you can survive this.) He's not turning into a zombie. It's just an infection. I'd assume that other zombie related injuries are the same. You can get an infection but not the *you are bit you have no way to survive*. If that were the case you could save anyone bitten with antibiotics and the show has established bite = death. The only way to explain it, which the show never has, is that zombies evolve some venom injector in their teeth and it's the venom that creates the "100% kill rate cannot be stopped cannot be helped." All other injuries are fixed with antibiotics. Again, the show never has said this but it is literally the only way the rules they setup could work. ED: Walking Dead basically is homaging Romero rules, where no matter how you die you turn into a zombie, but a bite always infects you lethally. Except with Romero (and possibly the comic, I have no idea) they are super explicit about stating that there's something in the bite that will kill you for sure, and it's not just a regular infection.

What exactly was the point of the doctor. Like, what did he accomplish other than being Beth v2.0?

If he were like Nick on Fear they'd show up at the hospital and find the last of their meds gone and little else. Also why is Maggie so smug about their fortress and why is Negan in such a ridiculous rush? Just camp their little town in like a medieval siege and they'll be out of food and hosed in two weeks. Just pick off anyone going out for food and they literally will surrender once they mostly starve to death.

Hey his "grab a gun and shoot them all" move was dumb but it was still smarter than stabbing someone with a tiny, tiny nail file in the middle of a hostage exchange. Way smarter. I mean, at the very least, he could have taken a couple out with him maybe. Sad as he was he was Einstein compared to Beth. ED: I will never, ever let the fact Beth was shot from below at gut level resulted in her getting a bullet to the top of the forehead, both in that scene AND the hallucination version. I don't know what the gently caress happened to effects continuity there. I think I'm the only one who was annoyed by it, though.

I honestly wish the zombie types were above regular zombie. gently caress it, I want a stupid zombie show with Left 4 Dead like zombie mutations running around, or at least something like that. As it stands rotting corpses that are half melted have no problem grabbing horses and then ripping through them like they're made of cake

I can suspend disbelief like crazy, have gotten into all kinds of low budget or unrealistic shows. This show regularly brings me out of it with stupid poo poo; the hole in Beth's head is up there with the Van. This week it was the contrivance of 1-day prisoners worrying about prisoners' rights and exercise. Oh and swamp zombies rising to the surface to bite instead of going for ankles, which is what actually makes a zombie swamp scary.

Gortarius posted:I caved and watched an episode, and it was just as bad as I knew it would be. I feel like part of TWD's universe's rule set is that items randomly teleport up to 10 feet, and the writers just forgot to clue us into that rule 40 seasons ago. Other than that is it just normal physics with normal humans using normal human emotion and reasoning.

Gortarius posted:I caved and watched an episode, and it was just as bad as I knew it would be. It's all just so lazy. Everything just happens because they need it to in that moment. So much of this show is just pointless  these days. Perfect example, what was it, like 5 episodes ago Daryl and Rick had a huge fight over the speaker truck when ended up being so pointless that it literally could have not been in the show at all and the only thing that would have changed would be 20 minutes of run time.Hardwick puts more effort into his ra-ra aftershow than anyone on the actual production team. It's almost to a Helix-style So-Bad-That-It-Becomes-Good level of schlock.

The Duke posted:The doctor shot himself, he wasn’t trying to kill everyone. I'm pretty sure he grabbed the guy's gun, then another Savior shot him and was scolded "you idiot, that's the doctor!" The bullet hole was definitely in his upper chest, which is a strange place to shoot yourself given the positioning. I call this one Suicide by Savior.  The Human Crouton posted:Also, did he walk through the woods for 45 minutes before killing himself? Yes. Literally yes. Then he walked into a bear trap and the writers handed Gabe a gun (   ) and let him 360ns a zombie!  But then the doctor was dead 10 minutes later so, kind of like the speaker truck, it could have just not happened at all. I guess we are back on the SadGabe cycle of the plot-circle.

I just rewatched the scene and I was wrong, in my defense it’s filtered through Gabriel’s poopy eyes so it’s kinda confusing! He was definitely trying to get himself killed either way.

Gabriel's POV looked like he was peering through an actual rear end in a top hat which is fitting for the character. These constant loving montages are useless time fillers. Just write a drat scene.

Let my religious zealotry lead you to your demise Also did they kill kill the doctor or is Gabriel going to have a drawn out scene where he has to fight the guy that he dumbed to death "gently caress this priest is killing me, better get this over with before it gets worse"

Riveting episode! *Carson and Gabriel bumble around uselessly* Negan: We need that doctor back! *bumbling continues* *Carson, who can still see, misses the trap warning* *Carson killed (oopsy-daisy!), Gabriel recaptured* Gabriel: Religion over science, bitches? Negan: Guess I shouldn’t have thrown his brother into a furnace in the first place. *Everyone worries because nobody has a doctor* Siddiq: Hello, I’m a Doctor. Greatest show of all time. How many more episodes are they going to spin their wheels to kill time on pointless missions in order to pad this poo poo out until the last episode where ‘Oh no! Does Rick kill Negan, or does he remember Carl’s letter?!’

It's just really dumb to do the whole "Deus Vult" thing when, in this universe, God is the writer's room so this show is basically just auto-fellatio.

I just love how they insinuate that he is nearly blind... like very very close to it. Can't see poo poo right in front of his face. But then they show his POV and it's just some slightly blurry loving tunnel vision. JUST DONT SHOW HIS POV.

I like how the bell that led them there was a sign that says there were traps "I wonder what this place is? Oh well, I'm sure that clanging sign won't tell me" And why the gently caress would the doctor decide that those badly hidden traps weren't worth looking for? How did this dude survive this long without looking where he is stepping?

The only real choice you have is how you get raptured. I'm not sure I would give the show this much credit, but I've not noticed this myself. I'm hilariously bad at catching biblical references though so me not seeing it means absolutely nothing. Was this something like in the first season?

moist turtleneck posted:Someone who is good at bibles please tell me if some blind doofus saves the day in the old rear end story book I don’t think Paul ever really saved the day, but there was this dude named Saul, who persecuted Jesus’s followers, and had a great time doing it. He was on his way to Damascus ready to wreck poo poo up, and suddenly had a vision of the resurrected Jesus who’s like ‘Yo, Saul, quit being such a dick’. Saul fell the gently caress off his horse and was struck blind. Three days later he was baptized, he his sight came back, changed his name to Paul, and started writing letters, hassling everybody like an old-rear end version of people that go door-to-door handing out religious pamphlets. So, no. E: Jesus was able to cure the blind. God help us if Jesus rescues Gabriel and just so happens to have the medicine necessary to restore his vision. E2: Oh man, this show is so dumb and heavy-handed, that’s probably exactly what will happen... LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Mar 14, 2018 |
