dont even fink about it posted:People are like "Negan is the lone bright spot," but Negan's 200% over the top xtreme nihilism, torture pornography, and the general lack of sensible storytelling surrounding just his introduction are what made me finally stop watching this show. People who say this are objectively wrong, because the truth is this: Simon is the lone bright spot.  This needs music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQf2TiwBFHo

Gortarius posted:I think what the people making this show set out to do was to try and top the previous poo poo scene with an even worse pile of garbage. But the episode did ask us, the viewers, some very philosophical questions: Well, let's see if I can help the two of us figure it out. Heaven's knows we don't want the show to fall any further than it already has... Gortarius posted:Where the gently caress did the farmville doctor suddenly appear from, and why the gently caress is she running her mouth off to some volunteer? No I must have seasoned doctors only in my apocalypse trailer, get the gently caress out! She was testing him; seeing if he had any backbone. That's why she immediately changed her mind the instant he spoke up for himself. He showed that he had enough confidence in his own skills to work under pressure. Gortarius posted:Is it possible to drive into your enemies with a motorcycle while firing a uzi or whatever onehanded and be successful? Yes. Yeah...not gonna defend that one. Gortarius posted:Why does Carl 2.0 exist? He sucks, both the character and the actor. He is stupid even for the shows standards. Perhaps to take over for some of Carl's plotlines, later in the comic book? Kinda like how Michonne kinda took Andrea's place as Rick's love interest? Gortarius posted:Where did Negan get a band of archers to work for him? He must have quite the network; not only does he have an infinite number of goons, he has also had evil lumberjacks and a motorcycle gang all work for him in previous seasons. Wow. Wait, what are you talking about? I saw Dwight shoot Darryl's crossbow, but, I didn't see any other arrow firing. Gortarius posted:Someone got stabbed in the chest and all I could think of was "Who?". He looked sorta like the giant Carol used to hang out with but it's been so long... oh it was him. Oh and he died... If only they had someone looking after the injured but instead they all passed out on the floor right next to the open front door. Tobin's stealthkill rampage would have been short-lived if it wasn't for that idiot Rick who said that it's too hot to keep the windows closed, so I guess he left the door open too. You know, after they just had a skirmish and said they don't have the resources to defend themselves from another attack. Yep. Show has way too many characters  .Gortarius posted:Speaking of Tobin, I thought Tobin was the name of that wall engineer who jumped into a zombies mouth many seasons ago. Another great plan by Rick that went to hell. To be fair, stuff like that is why Rick tends to make a habit of delegating jobs to other people. Giving up sole control of the group to form a council in Season 3, letting Alexandria's leader (back when she was still alive) call the shots while he served as police officer, and then declaring that he'd let Maggie be the leader after the war ends. The guy's always been more of a warrior than a thinker; and his willingness to acknowledge that is part of what separated him from Shane (why do fans insist he'd make such a better leader, anyway? Dude had no control over himself; he was far too erratic and self-destructive) Gortarius posted:There was also this scene of Maggie moping around in some poo poo cemetery and then there was this scene of Maggie moping around in some poo poo cemetery. I thought I had maybe suffered a stroke or a time warp but no, there's two almost identical scenes in this episode.  Gortarius posted:Finally, I think Rick rejecting to get his wound treated twice is going to be some epic plot point later on. Just like the blue paint on simon's shoe. It'll all come together... I really hope not. The show seems to really like teasing comic book fans with that particular possibility; and I've gotten kinda tired of it. Gortarius posted:What a load of horse patoot.

RIck not getting his wound treated is probably gonna lead into the flashback scene all year where he's lying on the ground in a fever sweat starting up at those painted glass decorations hanging from that tree. Also holy poo poo is this season really on track to ending with Negan killing Simon, reasserting control of the Saviors, and the war being dragged on another year?

Yeah, there were a few shots of several archers:    That's only an issue because Negan has infinite men, guns and ammo, though. If not for that, it would make sense to have all kinds of weapons around. The ~Kingdom~ had archers too.

I love those incredibly slow vehicle segments. Like them crashing into the bus and Darl slowly driving back to HQ. It's all just so poo poo and it really makes me think they can't afford stuntmen so instead they just have to be extra careful and take no risks.

One of my favorite parts was when Maggie lets the one savior outside to dig graves for people, and apparently all the savior casualties amounted to half of the bed of a pickup truck. My second favorite part was when showing "the costs of battle" with the graves that only like 10 people died from the savior attack, and then only like 6 more graves appeared after the sneaky zombie infiltration.

I like how she actually said she can "divine" that they're a fine group. She wouldn't have come to that conclusion from actually observing them. She could have ended up with the saviours just as well and seeing how Negan reacted to Eugene's brilliant plan to use guns to shoot bullets at the zombies, he'd probably go crazy when he saw a loving windmill. "For a lady with no balls you sure got some bigass balls, lady!" *5 second closeup of dumb smile*

dont even fink about it posted:Are there any sites tracking a savior death count? I've never laughed so hard. I was going "Holy gently caress, are there any Saviors left? They killed ten times as many as could be in the car." Then Simon walks out and I'm like "Are Simon and Dwight it?" Then the SAME NUMBER of them emerge behind them and I started laughing so hard, only to recompose myself right before Simon started walking towards a house full of people with assault rifles whistling in the open and then took off like a loving Loony Tunes character when they all started shooting, unscathed. It really has turned into a cartoon. Not in the comic way, but like, straight up Bugs Bunny.

"We're all infected. We all carry it" This explains a lot. The zombie "virus" is not benign, with no manifestation until death. wikipedia posted:Spinochordodes tellinii is a parasitic nematomorph hairworm whose larvae develop in orthopteran insects (grasshoppers and crickets). This parasite is able to influence its host's behavior: once the parasite is grown, it causes its grasshopper host to jump into water, where the grasshopper will likely drown. The zombie virus, which infests everyone, causes the host to engage in irrational & self-destructive behaviour at times. This can explain so much - why seemingly smart people do really stupid things that end up killing themselves. It explains why otherwise rational Rick was talking on a non-existent telephone a few seasons back. It explains why Morgan is seeing things. It explains why some survivors seem to have On/Off switch for "kill everything/no more killing". It explains why people who are involved in the creation and execution of a war plan will decide on their own to take off and do something else without telling anyone. It explains why people who are in the midst of a protracted war engage in one battle and then all go to sleep at the same time without guards, sentries, lookouts. (What it doesn't explain is what's going on with the writers of the show). Kelly posted:lol Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Mar 28, 2018 |

I kept watching this waaay past its best before date. I have no idea why. I guess i'm a masochist. In the latest episode I got as far as the dead shambling out of the medical trailer and then into the house with the door wide open and everyone just sleeping in a big meat pile in the living room with no watchmen or patrols or any kind of the sort of logical thing people would do in that sort of situation and decided that i had finally had enough. I turned off the TV and made up my own ending where everyone just gets eaten because they are all too dumb to live. The End. I'm so relieved that I don't have to watch this poo poo anymore. I'm Free!! FREEEEEEEEEE

Even the military doesn't really have any aside from the SAW and a bunch of heavy poo poo....like 50 cals....with the penetration of a squirt gun. Uhhhhh... literally most military weapons are automatic. The main assault rifle was nerfed to 3-round bursts because idiot recruits can't handle full auto and keep thinking it's the Rambo button instead of the "careful burst of your choice" option. To be honest them having a shitload of full auto assault rifles is more realistic than the Saviors being down to bows & arrows. There's more bullets than people in the US, literally. There's more GUNS than people in the US.. ED: A better question is why everyone and their grandmother doesn't have grenades ED: This may have been the most frustratingly unrealistic battle ever filmed on TV. It goes beyond military tactic nitpicking and survivalist poo poo like before, it's "nobody is doing anything remotely loving logical." When Simon started whistling walking towards a house with a ton of people with rifles in the dark I was like "Really? Really? REALLY? loving REALLY?" Someone needs to watch Full Metal Jacket again to see how loving building cover works Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Mar 28, 2018 |
