A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
I guess ICE are the only people not hate watching TWD these days.

There's no one in ICE not doing exactly what they want to be doing, they're basically cosplaying as negan irl already so of course they did this because the saviors are so cool and good

One of the better examples of Banality of Evil. Doesn't matter if they want to do what they are doing or not, they are letting it happen and participating.

No, they want to be doing it. ICE accepts the applicants that are too dumb and racist, somehow, to be regular pigs

Yeah I had a friend trying to say like "well they're just doing their job we shouldn't punish them" and it's like, no, gently caress that and gently caress them.

They're worse than regular pigs, and gently caress regular pigs, ICE agents are no exception. ACAB includes ICE, no doubt.

Why did they even waste the final shot on that? Usually these "oh and one more thing" parts at the end are supposed to be some cool tease or reveal, but instead it was just "look, zombies, scary."

I thought they were going to tease the Whisperers in that shot, like there would be a close up on their faces and you'd see that it was a skin mask or something. Nah, just more bland zombie herds.

That IS the shot of how the Whisperers are introduced straight from the comics.

I'm not sure why Maggie decided to Gussy up and Rosita has to wear tight rear end yoga pants or whatever

Everyone should be wearing pants with cargo pockets or maybe a fanny pack

Yeah, that scene looks like it was executed really well, at least. It's subtle enough that the person hearing it might think he or she might've just been imagining things. I stopped watching the show early last season, though. By a few decades from now maybe someone'll try some HBO miniseries remake with better writing

Ahhhh, I see, so it is The Whisperers. Almost too subtle, but I definitely hear it now. Looks like their speech style in the show is more of a zombie growl instead of a hissing sound of traditional whispering.

So how come they can't keep this under wraps until the episode airs? Aren't they paying him enough to take a few months off from taking other roles until his last episode airs? Why allow it to be spoiled?

Regardless of how much longer the show airs, it's clear they need any viewers they can get and it's honestly probably more beneficial to them that more people know in advance it's his last season/last episodes. Brings in curious viewers who want to see how he dies (let's be honest lol he's dying, they didn't even keep Carl alive and that actor actually Still Wanted to be on the show, just needed an amended filming schedule due to pursuing school at the same time)

It's so loving stupid lol. "hmmm were doing a time skip and carl wants to go to college for a bit, should replace him with a older actor???? NAAAH KILL HIM LOL". Poor Carl was teetering on the brink of becoming a cool character this entire show and then just died out like a wet fart.

the show is like Survivor except with some talk show host saying "Someone died! Isn't that an amazing an unexpected development" at the end of the show

To paraphrase someone smarter than me:

If you want to go into public service, be a firefighter or an EMT. And when the pigs ask you to use your firetruck/ambulance to block in some peaceful protesters, make sure and use it to smash up a few of their police cruisers while wedging it in, citing the exigency of the circumstances.

Lauren Cohan told EW that Maggie's story is "open-ended", leaving the possibility for her to return in season 10

"If my other show tanks, I'll be back!"

Also

https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/walking-dead-lauren-cohan-exploring-comedy-contract-dispute-1202886158/amp/

quote:

Cohan said her request for a pay increase was a standard business practice which came while she was negotiating a new contract with the show.

“It wasn’t actually that I was asking for it, it was that my contract had finished,” Cohan said. “So that’s pretty standard renegotiation.” Cohan went on to say that she is hoping to explore “comedy and happier fare,” like her upcoming ABC spy dramedy “Whiskey Cavalier.”

The actress also reassured fans the salary dispute doesn’t mean the end for her “Walking Dead” character, Maggie, and she is still focused on working on the show.

“My ‘Walking Dead’ story is open, it’s not finished,” Cohan said. “You don’t break up with someone and forget about them and delete them from your life, no, things transition into different places.

Cohan is reportedly only going to appear in handful of episodes in “The Walking Dead’s” upcoming ninth season.

When she talks about exploring comedy and expresses her next season on TWD like a "break up" that doesn't sound like someone who is eager to be there or still really considers herself on the show.

Sincerely what the gently caress does it say about what this show does to its cast, not even just its viewers anymore, when actors openly spoil their own exits and brag about moving on months in advance of the season premiere

I can't think of many other bad shows where I've ever seen this kind of thing happen once, and it's happened multiple times here with just this one season

They spoil their own exits because they don't matter anymore none of their characters stories or careers matter at all. Famous people just don't matter anymore. Nobody who matters cares about them.

Many of the rich and powerful would probably have a greater chance of surviving the initial days of the outbreak so at this point I wouldn't mind if they went full comic book style craziness and had a celebrity appear as a character playing themselves.

In the comics, Jesus and Aaron kill a bad guy and then when they see his face they go ‘I recognize that guy! He was a famous NBA player with commercials and endorsements!’

I’m assuming the comic couldn’t/wouldn’t name drop an NBA player (at least make up a name, c’mon Kirkman)

*Michonne kills a bad guy*
‘Famous NBA champion Steph Curry?!’

E: Hines Ward played a zombie. For all we know he was actually playing zombified Hines Ward :shrug:
