Kid steals a gun bigger than him, no one notices. He then steals the key to the jail, from presumably Maggie. Then he is the only person out of 150 people who are awake. And despite the fact there is no reason for him to think that one of these 38 people (out of literal hundreds of Savior soldiers) happened to kill his brother. He then lets them all out instead of shooting through a fence that would be about as good at catching bullets as the writers do plot holes. I just can't get over that apparently the show showing at watch at 4AM was supposed to be enough to accept that the night after a huge battle, when you could get attacked at any moment that EVERY SINGLE loving PERSON IN THE BASE IS SO ASLEEP THEY CAN'T HEAR A ZOMBIE WANDERING AROUND. Oh and then, this group of wasteland survivors have no idea how to handle the zombies until Rick shows up. How the gently caress are people not sleeping with knives under their pillows just in case someone suffers an aneurysm in the middle of the night and turns? The show does this every god drat time. When they want something to happen to drop everyone's IQ 100 points, so their cute little idea gets done. Instead of finding a way for stuff to happen in a way that doesn't undercut your cast. Like at this point? gently caress 'em all. They deserve to die.

Must have been a ”thin out the red shirts” episode” Edit: also these crappy night-time shots give them cover for the lack of special effects budget. I could hardly see anything. tomapot fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Haha none of that even made sense.  Hey, they all have automatic weapons, let's all clump up and walk reeeeeeeeeeally slowly up to their brick mansion!  Wait, I know! I can easily shoot a few random prisoners from outside the gates, but I'll go inside because, as an 8-year-old with a gun, thirty grown men totally wont be able to bumrush me!   ! Ninja zombies know how to coordinate an attack over the course of 4 hours!  Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww  Black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow!

Jesus, that whole fight scene was awful. I couldn’t even tell that was Tobin that got stabbed until he was talking to Carol later. Once the nighttime zombie attack happened I again could barely see things. Did Dwight shoot Tara with his crossbow, or did she get stabbed? When Simon yelled ‘I can’t see poo poo!’ agreed. Speaking of Tobin, dude’s a straight up ninja as a zombie. How did zombies get in the prisoner pen? Stray rounds hit it? The dialogue continues to be bullshit; there were at least three instances of ‘Carl died saving a stranger’, but Carl died saving pretty much the most competent guy they could ask for.

Hmm. So before this episode, casualties for the saviors apparently numbered 223. Add probably about 20~ for this episode and you're looking at about 250 people who have been gunned down or knifed in their sleep by Rick and his group while Negan continues to talk about how people are a resource.. This is amazing to me.

Is it just me or was that sloppier than usual? Like the stealth zombie attack alone was utterly ridiculous but then there were a ton of other things happening that were on the same level as that.

CODChimera posted:Is it just me or was that sloppier than usual? Motherfuckers all have tinnitus after the gunfights so they can't hear a zombie fall down the stairs in an ancient house three feet away. This show is so loving dumb. Edit again: Wait a goddamn minute. You're telling me that they keep thirty eight saviors trapped by 'locking' them in a pen made of nothing more than barbed wire, without a single loving guard? I don't... I can't eve.. loving hell! I just skimmed back and looked. The outer wall has easy handholds. Even if barbed wire was somehow too scary for some reason, you could literally just climb the outer wall of hilltop. Last time: Oh, apparently there was a single guy on watch who gets shot. Which is dumb as gently caress. So they guy starts feeling super sick and just dies at his post without ever thinking of going for help? Great writing guys. Super awesome job.

Haven't seen the ep, but read some posts and saw some clips. My god... Well, I guess I need to jack up the brightness on my TV in preparation for this one since apparently it's one of those classic "Can't see anything and even if I could it don't make a lick of sense" episodes.

Other stupid plot points: 1) Why are the wounded not secured or under guard or in a locked loving room? And by secured I mean a simple tether a zombie would be too stupid to undo. Unless the plot called for it. We're two+ years into this, that should be basic protocol. 2) So during all the chaos, Tara, Carl's girl, Rosalita and a couple others never left their room? Also, isn't Tara not feverish/zombie proof that Burnface is still on their side? 3) Someone gif when the escaped prisoners were trying to shut the gate on zombies outside, it's a terribly staged shot that looks like an animitronic scene from Pirates of the Carribean. e: that kid, like most child actors, is loving terrible warcrimes fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Mar 26, 2018 |

I just saw it and you all are saying exactly the same things I wondered. Seriously, how the hell are we supposed to believe that any of that zombie attack could possibly happen after all they've been through? They were more careful even back in the prison season. Also that kid was stupid as hell and a bad actor.

Something else that bugged me was how simon said they had 38 people, but it felt like there were a lot more than that. A lot seemed to get shot in that initial shootout but when they showed them regrouping there still seemed to be roughly that amount. I guess you could say he was lying because that would be logical to not reveal your real numbers, but given the show I think it's more likely that they just picked a random number and didn't care if they had the right number of extras or not.

Saviours have X number of men, where X fits the number needed for that particular episode they're really phoning it in on these episodes. can't wait for the giant wet fart that will be the season finale, cause I think I'm finished after the season, it's getting to be a chore even hatewatching, at this point of course I'll stay in this topic for moist's gifs, though

My other question is that the clearly showed the doctor poo poo-talking Siddiq in their infirmary But nah, let’s just cram everybody, wounded or not, into a single house with nobody checking on the wounded in regular shifts. Also blah blah, sliding time scales on the infection/turning rates... when they did it in the comics, they were all like, ‘two redshirts and Nicholas are all starting to run a fever’, instead of ‘Hey you guys all got stabbed/sliced, we should probably keep them in the infirmary since we don’t have antibiotics, and we can monitor your conditions’

HOLY poo poo!!! You are right! I didn't even think about it because I was like "oh I guess they'll cut his arm off to save him  " but Rick had just been braining zombies with that thing. And fresh ones, too! Like Megan used! Totally should zombify the amputee...Edit: like that is literally the central plot point of the last 3 episodes and NO ONE on the loving writing or production team noticed that!
