Love how 8 year old Judith could headshot 3-4 zombies with a pistol from at least 100 feet away.

I haven't bothered watching this series since like halfway into season 7, so I just read this thread to see everyone's reactions at the show's latest plumbing of the depths of stupidity. So with that said, holy goddamn :laffo:

Is the A and B poo poo something explained on Fear the Walking Dead, or is it something new for this bad show?

Also Jerry is the best character, please just shift the entire focus to The Kingdom, thanks

my favourite is how she shoots five or six zombies, out of a herd that was overpowering that random group of like 5 people...

...and then they just stand there while she does her lame ~introduction~ and no zombies pay them any mind, they act totally safe, playin it cool...

I could complain for paragraphs, but I take no issue with the fake out. You hype an ending, you get ratings. You hype a return, you get ratings. Business-wise (ugh) it makes perfect sense for AMC (uuuuggghhhhhh) to package Rick's changes this way. It Could Have Been Handled Better, yes, but that's like a common theme throughout the entire franchise.

It's similar to how every single band in the universe at one point plays a farewell tour and then plays a comeback tour four years later.

Hey look, Rick is getting saved -> 6 year time jump -> preview shows that basically nobody died in a 6 year span of time... In a zombie apocalypse where people die drat near every month when there is a camera on them...
Wait, yeah, this is actually pretty ridiculous.
The first 2 years have a major character dying every month or so and constant fights with human villains and factions, but suddenly everyone stays alive for the next 6 years with no problem or major changes or battles with other humans. They just change their haircuts and maybe reinforce the walls a bit more.

I had to re-watch the ending when the helicopter (WTF?) flies away, and you see the shack go from being in pretty good condition to being dilapidated, showing the passage of time. Too subtle for this show. I only rewound because I was confused about who these new people were.

But the questions is... on which side do they reinforce the walls, hmm?

Maybe they finally reinforced it on the inside and that's why they've been safe for 6 years.

Okay, this is a bit of a coffee cup under the dumpster moment here, BUT take a look at this here picture:



Rick was off the bridge from what I could tell when he brasted the TNT. How'd he end up sucked into the river? If anything he should've been blown off further "inland". Also burnt to a crisp.

I haven't watched a single episode in full, just clips from here and there, so maybe they explained why there's a wagon full of TNT sitting on the bridge, and why there is nobody there on the bridge, either working or guarding the TNT. Please enlighten me. That's pretty valuable cargo in my books, but I guess they just left it there after a hard days work. I don't know why you'd need dynamite if your operation is about rebuilding a bridge.

I do like that they give Rick this pretty good send off scene, but then they ruin it by him surviving. Classic TWD.

So he's stabbed in the abdomen, has severe blood loss, has been wasting his energy walking about, is blown into the river and is knocked unconscious, but still survives somehow. Hmm...

Give her a 10/22 or something because no fuckin way she was headshotting zombies with the python from 100 yards away in the woods

Also why did they need green screen for the sasha scene

This ep is gonna make me mad while I get my pump on after work, so I guess it's a good show?

No you see they had to show that she was both Rick’s kid and Michonne’s adopted kid and Carl’s sister all before she flat out announced I AM JUDITH GRIMES directly to the camera

If they were gonna do a big time skip, go real big. Jump to when Judith is 15 or 16 so it's not so ridiculous. Daryl now looks like Joel from The Last of Us because that's basically who he is now anyway. Carol and Ezekiel have a son named Tyrone, who Jerry calls "T-dog". Jerry is also now married to a horse and Maggie hasn't spoken a word in 10 years.

Oh my lord that Judith scene was so horrible.

That was such cringey poo poo. To me that was almost as bad as when Arya did the anime pose + smug Sonic grin in GoT.


I know I've been disgusted and frustrated by the poo poo quality and poor writing of this show but cringe is a relatively rare occurrence.

Caught the ending of this flipping through channels.
Cool, gonna catch the Rick death. Oh, dynamite, ok, he blows the bridge and bleeds out on the opposite bank of those 2005 Call of Duty water effects. Then we get to see the gang find walker Rick later and off him as Michonne breaks down.
Wait, he was close enough to fall in the water, not drown, and is unfazed by the giant goddamned explosion...well, then this is where he bleeds out.
Wait, Jadis, the gently caress, a chopper...of course, Rick lives. Way to cop out again AMC.
Oh, time skip, people that survived whatever years of zombies just got themselves trapped, sure, ok. *Enter super Judith* Jesus Christ, no more

Wrong horse. I'm talking about two horses hitched to a trailer in the scene that introduces soon-to-be-insufferable Judith SIX YEARS IN THE FUTUREEEEEEEEEEEE. Re-watch the scene with the new group being surrounded by ten zombies.

Judith is really bad fan service and she should definitely be eaten by a zombie exactly 30 seconds after that scene, then cut to Alexandria where everyone is desperately looking for Judith because it turns out she has special needs and was out without the strict supervision she requires in town, not to mention outside.

Judith didn't actually manage to shoot any zombies, one of the snipers in a post got them and it was a coincidence that she was standing in the woods at the time.

The katana is a plastic facsimile they found in an old toy store so she could pretend to be her mom. The gun isn't loaded, and she found it on the ground on her unsanctioned excursion. The hat is very much real, and much like Coral she uses it as a safety blanket everywhere she goes.

Cue drama related to the death of Judith.

Aand we're off!
