One thing that still kills me, everyone else looks mostly decent, but Rick always looks like an unwashed basement dweller that had a gland disorder that caused him to sweat like a firehose

Totally, if they had a hundred walkers and a cloud of dust going back a few miles. It would have looked so much better.

Was it S2 or 3 where Strand ends up chatting on his boat’s satellite phone with a Cosmonaut and they both get hammered?

S3 after Strand finds his boat washed up. That scene, one actor not over-emoting and a dude off screen is miles better than anything TWD has produced since...ummm...yeah I don't know

Great first ep of FTWD, the gunslinger is a really good addition to cast.

just have a couple of questions about TWD season finale:


1. Why are there stained glass windows hanging off a tree?
2. Who got custody of Lucille?!

In the south, stained glass hanging off a tree on someone's property is not a stretch by any imagination. People around here love to do "art" poo poo like that (bottletrees are another dumb loving thing people do).

However that appeared to basically be out in the middle of loving nowhere and not, like, in somebody's back yard (or even back 40).

Thank the lord it's over. I skipped season 7, and only tuned in for the latter half of 8.

I only just now realized that although season 8 was certainly awful, there has never been a good season of TWD. It's always been poo poo.

The pilot episode is okay, I guess, and the last one in season 1.

So is Jeff Morgan written off the show and they are just going to casually mention Nega and maybe have a soundboard of him hidden away in a pit?

Yeah, I've slowly realized that I am nostalgic for a time on the show that never existed. The cracks were all there in season 1, they just turned into fissures in S2 and have gotten wider ever since...

I thought it was a forest at first until I rewound and took a second look. The everything is dreary brown colour scheme the show has going on certainly doesn't help.

I really liked it when they showed the journalists footage and it actually looked like the real world.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

First half of the season will be the main cast taking turns to have slow pseudo-philosophical talks with Negan with constant lingering closeups in a dark basement untill one of them let him out to solve a crisis and he gets away. Second half of the season will rime with season 8. So it is written.

That whole final battle thing was stupid. The sudden appearing over a hilltop bit, the exploding bullets (I know they were running low on non-manufactured bullets, but loading every single gun with the Eugene bullets?), the giant exploding molotov cocktails thrown by ocean people who magically teleported into throwing distance...it was just so anticlimactic and it's like the writers asked their 13 year old son what would look the most badass and slapped it together.

and of course they have to ask eugene if it was him who sabotaged the guns in case the audience didn't catch it somehow. I'd ask if they think we're stupid, but if they do they're clearly correct since we're still watching this show.

that's too much nuance and too much credit to give this show, there is no subtext, the text is rick ordered siddiq to save him because every doctor is automatically a trauma surgeon, so negan will be fine
