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.

At this rate I hope he makes one final appearance on the show, when they are about to be overrun he arrives with a loving tank battalion.

Did anyone have one of those audio "hear different things" happen with the whisperer speak?

I watched it 3 times and swore they said "In a pickle" not "They must be close."

"Where are they?" "In a pickle. Don't let them get away."

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.

Nicotero is a makeup artist thrust into the role of director, producer, and basically co-showrunner.

Yo, is that the guy from Fantastic Beasts?

E: Michonne going all Ace Attorney here. Jeez, it's not like they had two good prisoners on their side back in season three. Like you ain't even gonna ask 'what were you in prison for?'

Oh, Rosita just said what we were all thinking.

E: in six years, everyone's just changed their hairstyles. Anybody got an eyepatch or something?!

'Is there a reason things changed?'
'Yeah, but we'll all be vague about it.'

Wait, was Judith sitting on the stairs with the magnum in case Magna tried to start some poo poo?!

'I'm starting to forget their voices' would she even be able to remember Carl? She was like, 2 when he died.

I think my episode cut off early; it ended with a 'zombie' saying 'don't let them get away'. Was there supposed to be more dialogue?


I will give some faint praise to the show, they keep the camera shot fully on Connie and Kelly when they sign. But you would think that when the group was all alone, Luke and Magna would at least simcom. After six years they had to have picked up enough ASL to talk to their own group member.

Nope, that was the end...

I would give them praise for their diversity hires with the new cast if it weren't so obviously a diversity casting - all of whom will almost certainly be killed over the next 3 eps. :nallears:

I'm expecting them to 'need' Connie's 'Deaf skillz' to fight the Whisperers or some dumb poo poo. I can just imagine Luke and Eugene come up with some sound/music device dealie to affect the bad guys and Connie has to set it off because she can't hear it.

No he has like the Venom Snake arm prosthesis on him, except way more lame.

A goofy glove basically.


EDIT:

Mein gott... Rick is the medic. He is going to get in a helicopter crash, go into a coma and then have his muscles massaged for 9 years so he'll be jacked to the gills when he wakes up and escapes the hospital he is in... AKA episode 1. Then the whole thing begins anew.

Endless cycle of TWD.

Why do they pursue people, are they cannibals?

If they're cannibals, we already saw that there is a far easier way to go about that

If they're not then why do they shamble after people

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

It was nice, after spending all that time earlier in the season driving home how violence begets violence, that they then have an example of how "killing someone who spared you is SUPER RAD" because there is no way you aren't supposed to think Carol was totally awesome there committing an insanely violent act.

Just to play Carol's advocate. The people she burned alive were actively victimizing other people, and had a history of participation in mass murder and enslavement. Killing them almost certainly saved others.

Since the convo before Carol dropped the match was basically
'this stuff you have belonged to people that went out and never came back'
'C'mon lady, we just found it.'

I'm wondering if the 'big twist' would be the missing people were offed by the 'zombies' and the supplies were later found by the Saviors.
