Only 3.6 Roentgoons per hour ... not great, not terrible.

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.

No, that's definitely it... :nallears:

Since they get by from blending in with zombies, I'm guessing they might leave stuff they don't need behind, like flashlights or sleeping bags.

I wasn't kidding, Carol did nothing wrong. Those guys were assholes and by mad max rules it is always okay to kill assholes because they're a net detriment to rebuilding society. Same reason Negan should be killed, doubly so since he actually wanted to be killed.

I maintain that Negan's system resulted in far fewer deaths than the Rick crew's. Carol alone has probably racked up a bigger body count than everyone Negan killed.

There's some tough competition for the top fragger of the show.

On one hand you have Carol who likes to burn people alive, has a mega man buster cannon and very quickly recovers from the "killing good? killing bad?" mood swings. Then you have Rick who is no stranger to murder but also who's lovely plans have gotten people killed by the hundreds at this point.

Darl and Michonne are masters of dual wielding and ninja tricks but rarely use their anime powers to rack up their killcounts, rather they only use it to deus ex machina people out of trouble and mostly against zombies.

Morgan is a serial killer but I think he still loses to everyone mentioned before because the pacifism brainwashing by cheese sensei.


By the way, what do Georgia winters look like? They've conveniently always skipped any and all winter periods, like they don't even mention them, ever.

Snow is irregular but it certainly drops below freezing sometimes, which would affect zombies (and survival)

Well she could have had Henry watch her burn alive a group of sleeping people who had let them go.
It would be a fine lesson for the young man.

What I meant was, Carol is supposedly training and teaching Henry. She tried to tell him not to fight, and let it go when confronted by overwhelming numbers. But then she doesn't include him in the real lesson of how to be a ninja with a gas can.
That's what he needs to know, not just stick fighting.

The concept of the Whisperers doesn't bother me; it's not even close to the strange happenings on Z Nation. But my confidence in the TWD writers is pretty much shattered.

She spent like two seasons holed in a cabin trying to be a pacifist that nobody at all wanted.

The funny thing is you are still right because that measured in 'real time' to about a week and a half.

ED: Also it's not even close. Carol is uncontested top fragger. She can solo entire settlements. Carol is the destroyer of worlds and is one of the only characters left I actively would be annoyed if they killed because she's way more unique than the others.

If Carol pulled a Sasha in that episode, she'd killed every single person in Negan's compound and brought Rick his head.

ED: Ugh. I'll have to admit Gimpleless TWD is still infinitely better than Gimple TWD. People somewhat act like people now. Too bad they had to ruin Fear for this.

Did anyone find one piece of continuity absolutely hilarious when Maggie commented they 'don't have a blacksmith right now'?

Because that random Hilltop dude Simon shot was the blacksmith. It seemed like this thread was the only place that noticed this, and even then, thanks to a wiki. I just laughed, "Someone on the show actually paid attention to that?"

Friendly reminder that the cannon timeline has less than 24 days between Glen's death at the end of season 5 and Carl's death at the end of season 8 and the entire ~ALL OUT WAR~ and three season's worth of :turianass: content :turianass: happens within those three weeks.

Like, Negan really took a liking to Rick and Carl for knowing them less than a month.

The last cheesy good thing I remember from TWD before I stopped watching is Carol shooting the little creepy girl who was obsessed with zombies and then Carol loving ramboing the whole cannibal place with a firework rocket after all the other major badasses got duped.

Then every now and then I keep hearing good things like Carol threatening a kid to tie him to a tree outside and let the zombies eat him, and now the immolation thing.

It almost makes me want to watch the show again.

TWD's bullet CGI is legitimately the most confusing thing I've seen in a major TV show.
They don't even mock up local illumination, so in any dusky scene its just these little yellow triangles appearing over the top of the scene.

How do they sleep? You can't just sit down and start snoring in the middle of a zombie horde.

They slowly fall back from the herd and go to a camp with tents and campfires. It does make a little sense; because they can control the direction of the herd, they can circle back to it. The only unexplained issue is what they do with the herd once they leave it, as in how would they find it again in the morning, or do they tie them up overnight
