Ate My Balls Redux posted:As a fan of the comic, they did a time jump after the war with the Saviors there too, of a couple years. It worked there though because they only did one jump and it was a logical story progression to have a few prosperous (IE boring) years after eliminating/co-opting the biggest threat in the area. What they could have done is have each of those 5 episodes set a year apart from the previous. Make them all a “day in the life of” the survivors and use them to introduce new characters, let other characters go, and change the scene / dynamic of the communities. It lets Judith grow over time. It lets Negan’s craziness brew. It lets Maggie hate of another year with Negan alive warp her leading. It lets Daryl become more and more isolated. But to have two time jumps and still have no noticeable changes in the communities, people, or the world in general is loving absurd.

His dad was furious though and put both Gimple and AMC on blast for it. Welp, lol @ this show.

Do you think the producers and writers etc. are surrounded by people who think this is a great show and are crying their eyes out when watching scenes like Dumpster Glenn or Rick teleporting to a river bench, and that's why they also think the show is good? "So what did you think about this episode I wrote? Pretty good, huh? "Oh, Archibald, your episode really was the bomb diggity. I will never forgive you for playing with my feelings like that, lol." "Heh, I've still got it... *cracks knuckles*"

I hadn't heard that about Chandler Riggs and yeah it's real poo poo to fire someone after they bought a house in Georgia. Outside of Americus and (if we're being generous) Athens, GA is a complete shithole even by the standards of the South. Atlanta is legit the worst city I've ever lived or worked in and that list includes Los Angeles because at least LA has a ton of cool stuff to do

Jesus gently caress this show is bad. It's really really bad. Who thought Judith was a good idea even as a suggestion in a meeting? Like if I was in that meeting I would have been like "uh, no we're not casting a loving 8 year old to play an 8 year old sharpshooter and general badass, you're fired Steve" Sending Rick off in a helicopter with trash lady? So he's like alive somewhere but they're going to keep him gone for a couple seasons? I know the actor said he's gone for good, but they always say that. He's coming back and it's going to be so loving lame. 6 years pass and those dumb gently caress saviors are still out and about? gently caress all that though, Judith... just write her out of the show. Don't even come up with an explanation, just don't have her in it anymore. I guarantee you'll get better ratings, AMC. I will be loving amazed if this show isn't cancelled in the mid season break.

I'm gonna bet that there will be an episode where all the adult badasses are off doing something and Judith or Eugene lets Negan out I would honestly be impressed if they do something surprising for once and have Negan actually change instead of what we all now is coming which is NEXT WEEK ON AMC'S THE WALKING DEAD: Negan: Hey there girl. I missed you... LIGHTNING FLASH ILLUMINATES LUCILLE

I try to remember it's the same basic cable audience that have watched 16 seasons of NCIS. Perhaps we're the idiots here for expecting more.

The writers & producers of this show are like home chefs trying to duplicate the work of the chefs they see on TV, but aren't skilled enough to pull it off. They have the ingredients, and the basic tools, but not the skill, so ultimately it ends up a pile of goo. Imagine if someone like Vince Gilligan, Cary Fukunaga, or Matthew Weiner, etc., were show runners, what a fantastic series we could have had. Gimple & company are definitely third stringers.

You know, that scene with Michonne and Judith talking about remembering those they've lost and trying not to forget their voices (or however it went, I forgot the exact dialogue) might have held more weight, if the absent father hadn't secretly survived so he could star in three spin-off movies without ever contacting his family. Especially if it turns out he survived for years during the timeskip. For all we know he could still be alive right now, all while people have been mourning him for six years. I hope all three movies actually do get made so that we can see that last one end with Rick getting ambushed by a teleporting zombie three miles away from Alexandria, one day before this episode begins.
