One more week till FTWD starts back up. My request for 3b is I want Daniel to comment on Nick's hair when they see each other moths posted:The big comics thing that's currently happening is an expedition to another settlement in Ohio(?) that Eugene contacted via shortwave radio. It has the potential to seriously restructure the cast, hopefully bringing in some fresh characters and ideas.

So FTWD is still in season 3 right now or is it over? I thought it was long over, but PSN has it on sale for $15 right now (tempting) and it says 8 eps with 18 to go?

Dongattack posted:What happened with (possible upcoming season spoilers) those skinwalking people and Neagan? I stopped reading the comics, but i'm curious. Negan was let out of his cell by the kid who assaulted Carl with bricks and made his eye bleed, and whose parents asked Gregory to poison Maggie in retaliation for Carl fighting back. The kid's father was killed by Rick via ripping out his jugular, and his mother was beheaded by the skinwalkers and was one of the extras who had her head placed on a pike. Negan goes off with the kid and guts him at the pike border. He befriends the leader of the skinwalkers, Alpha, and lives among them for a few days. Then when they think he's on their side, he beheads the leader and takes her head back to Rick as a peace offering. This starts the war with the skinwalkers. A group of four, including Michonne and Aaron, trail Negan's escape route and run into this guy who's a foot taller than Negan, because the comic is ridiculous, called Beta. He guts Aaron, and there's some "he's barely breathing" drama but he lives. They repel the horde and successfully hide during the second walker assault on Alexandria and Hilltop. Only two redshirts and a main character, Andrea, died. The seven foot tall guy got away. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Sep 3, 2017 |

I shouldn't give AMC such power for free, but I have constructed a small BASIC program to help them write the new season of TWD 10 a=1000 20 a=a-1 30 Print "We have to kill Negan" 40 Print "We can't kill Negan" 50 Print "*Puts gun to Negan's face*" 60 Print "We can't kill Negan" 70 if a>0 goto 20 80 if a=0 print "*Wet Fart*" 90 END veni veni veni posted:So FTWD is still in season 3 right now or is it over? I thought it was long over, but PSN has it on sale for $15 right now (tempting) and it says 8 eps with 18 to go? The first half of the season is done. The second half of the season will be playing soon, before TWD returns. It's also actually the best thing WD has put out on TV in a while, hilariously. I mean, I HOPE the writers realize they're writing the bad guys now, but they sure seemed to more than they did in the loving trainwreck that season the second half of season 2 or the stupidity of season 1 skipping everything we wanted to see partly because of writing and partly budget (LA with no zombies, climactic turning point battle happens.. over a radio off screen, etc). Fear Season 3 is actually surprisingly entertaining. The first time TVIV didn't even bother to make a new thread for the show it was so bad it actually got pretty good.

TWD is about the equivalent of izombie w/gore. Although I tune in every week. And every week I feel more brain cells melt away. When will I learn and just stop watching this poo poo?

Holy gently caress do things move at a pretty snappy pace on Fear now. You'd burn whole WD seasons on what Fear plows through in 2 episodes.

Finally watched the finale despite live watching the season. Just couldn't bring myself to watch it with so much other stuff on. It was bad, real bad. New season soon, eh? Can we please get 3-4 more 5 minute sessions of Negan pacing around being a bad boy with foul language? Really want more of that.

Haven't had a chance to watch the mid-season premier yet but the comments on the official facebook page (which this season have actually been really positive up until tonight) and the lack of comments in this thread are not promising.

This was such a strange episode. It starts off with a wacky gun battle then it changed into a fallout type world and then at the end everyone finally started to work together. El Bazar was an awesome place. That is what I want walking dead spin off show! It was almost like a further along place than the dam, they told her no one can see the leader of El Bazar. This was Daniel's advice to mexican priest lady. Good job getting a rock in the head lady! Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Sep 11, 2017 |

Well. I didn't hate it? Madison needs to either die or take a backseat role though. Honestly I think she's one of the only things holding this back from being a genuinely good show. The other thing holding it back being the way this show is still being falsely marketed. It's a decent Post-Society Drama but it's not Zombie Survival/Horror. Anyway I really like almost everything about the current FTWD other than the godawful "protagonist" they're trying to shove down our throats. She's like the Hillary Clinton of The Walking Dead Universe. Go away Madison. Is it too late for James Cameron to cast her in the next 500 Avatar sequels too? Also I love it every time Alicia talks poo poo to or about her mom and it gives me hope that she and Nick will just loving ditch her. Tenzarin posted:El Bazar was an awesome place.

Well, I hope Troy comes back soon. That somersault to 'ta-da!... ta-da?!' in Nick's hallucination cracked me up. Comedy option: they go back to El Bazaar and he's taken it over. Agree with the other posters saying Madison is the one thing holding it back. Also, I half-expect some 'childfree thinkpieces' raging about Madison making dismissive comments to Walker's metaphor about his pet dogs, comparing them to children. E: hahaha Madison's 'I can help! I can fix this!' and then making things worse for them and Strand just encompasses all her poor decisions. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Sep 11, 2017 |

There were some other problems too like Nick's confession to Troy felt really weird and how did he know Troy wouldn't just shoot him in the face? I feel like the premier suffered from some of the writing flaws that plagued the first two seasons. Hopefully everything picks back up next week 'cause I felt like the 3A premier suffered from similar problems but the rest of the half turned out pretty good. Anyway I'm glad she's reunited with Strand and I hope that means more screen time for him. I hope, with the new showrunners and producers next season, that they just kind of scrap Erickson's idea of Madison being the main character. It would be cool if they focused more on another character that they haven't already, like Daniel. I don't think FTWD should have a protagonist, I think it would be better if they focused on someone different every season. Like Nick was probably the main focus of season 1-2a, 2b was mixed, season 3 can be Madidumb's season and S4 should go to someone else.

Episode was kind of a slog, and the scenes with Madison/Troy and Nick/Troy were so goddamn frustrating. I also feel like they're falling back into those bad writing habits where characters act stupid sheerly for the sake of TENSION and DRAMA, Troy should have died like 4 separate times this episode but nope...can't kill him for *reasons*. The whole ranch setup is dumb and they can't drop that thread fast enough, honestly. El Bazaar was a bit disconcerting but Strand showing up was a breath of fresh air. Jesus, he can act in circles around the rest of the cast, and he instantly makes Madison and Walker look so wooden with his confident grin and swagger. I wouldn't mind seeing the old Nick and Strand team back together, but before that happens I hope we can drop Madison out of another moving helicopter.

I actually kind of like Madison now. She's a force of nature, not a person. She enters the Bazar and in under 10 minutes smacked a dude with a shovel. Walker pulls a bunch of strings to make an agreement with a group that seems pretty powerful and mercurial? Madison stole the money right before the meeting. (Good job Walker on not noticing your briefcase was 30 pounds too light btw) Combined with the fact she's basically invincible, she's just the embodiment of chaos in the post-apocalypse. She's a lot more fun to watch when you look at her this way. I also like Alicia telling Nick that they need to stop trying to make their Mom love them cause she's broken.

Tenzarin posted:This was such a strange episode. It starts off with a wacky gun battle then it changed into a fallout type world and then at the end everyone finally started to work together. El Bazar had the most reasonable security force we've ever, ever seen in Walking Dead. Salvaged swat armor and guards on every corner. Jesus even if infected got in they're wearing heavier armor than Glenn when he tanked an entire mob so they'd be fine. I actually believe sneaking into and loving with El Bazar would be an utterly suicidal proposition. Meanwhile on the main show I think literally anybody could sneak into Negan's compound and murder people and get out if they really wanted because we've seen it. Quite literally the citizens of El Bazar would steam roll Negan and that's loving hilarious. I love seeing security wearing things like, oh, actual armor. ED: Can I take a moment to say how much better directed and how much difference actual extras made with El Bazar versus the Cartel tradepost that was like 6 dudes in total.

Fear is legitimately far better than the main show now, both through the main show continually getting worse and Fear getting much better, so there's that veni veni veni posted:This show has had a lot of lame villains but man, Neagan really takes the cake. The problem isn't Negan, not really. It's sure not JDM. I don't mind a total shithead like him being in charge of the wasteland even though I'm pretty sure even Immortan Joe would tel him to turn it the gently caress down at times. The problem is the script. Negan could be a prancing in your face shithead who loves to taunt you, if he had some sort of way to back it up. Handing Rick a baseball bat in a closed garage seperated from your men? Dumb as gently caress. Handing it to him while snipers have everyone he loves perfectly sighted? Now that's more a screw up. From what I understand in the comics he DOES use snipers and actual, you know, guards and the TV version of him has all the dumb lines and bluster with none of the, you know, even mild backup or way to enforce his bullshit. That scene where Carl gets the gun pointed at Negan in the back of the truck TV vs Comic was a huge example of how subtle changes can gently caress everything up; it was almost shot for shot, except a few key things: Carl in the comic immediately opened fire, killed two people, started screaming for Negan and - this is important - started shooting at Negan the second he showed up. TV show Carl shot two people, asked for Negan, then watched him whistle up for 40 seconds not doing poo poo while Negan just said what a badass he was... which he said AFTER Carl was disarmed in the comic. My point is, right there, that's the whole problem with Negan in a nutshell. The writers are taking stuff without taking context. On the show it's so loving clear Negan is alive because plot armor won't let characters shoot him, even if they are on suicide missions and have him dead to rights. In the comic it's clear people TRIED but failed to kill Negan; they DO take the shot, it's just that they don't succeed. I know that sounds like a minor difference that ultimately leaves things in the same place, but it's way more than that. It's where you stop hiding the plot armor and rip it wide open for the world to see, so people KNOW the only reason Carl doesn't shoot Negan is plot, not that Carl just loving missed. It's jarring and it's TERRIBLY handled. It's the TV version of the Magican pulling the Rabbit out of his hat after the audience watched him stuff the rabbit in the table beneath the hat not ten seconds ago. ED: I bet you $10 that there's several goons in the thread that could keep the exact plot structure and beats from last Walking Dead season and make it not stupid. The devil is in the details. All of the loving details. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Sep 12, 2017 |

El Bazaar was great, it's exactly the kind of alternative worldbuilding I want to see in TWD universe--good to see not everything fell to poo poo and there's still some population. Reminded me of the bazaar in Valerian. Also good: Strand is back!  Ranch drama was compelling, I dug it. This show has come into it's own and is standing tall alongside the best of TWD.

Yeah as critical as I was of certain scenes, at the end of it, I thought to myself "Still better than most of last season of TWD." I think my main issue with Madison is she's just not charismatic enough to sell the part. Anyway I think FTWD has really good cinematography, and I like the camera filters they use more than the main show. And even when there's not a lot of action happening, it's well-paced.

I'm not sure why she didn't kill the Bad Son from the Preppers either when he murdered that red shirt. Also, how did she talk her away out of that one? "Sorry, Indian bro, that guy that I said not to kill killed another one of yours' It was really, really dumb but I understood Alicia being 18 and saying the dumbest thing possible to a crowd that's on their wit's end Also, if they have no water wouldn't it make more sense for them to like, move to where there is water? Didn't Alicia jump into a super clear river in one episode? It's still better than TWD right now but there were way too many Stupid Things to Make Plot Happen in such a short span Also why were the guards cool with Madison hitting them with a shovel and running away?

And yeah Alicia jumped into... their water supply? And she didn't see that it was running out or whatever? Hmmm. Also, the note that said they had 6 weeks worth of water was only for the preppers I'm assuming, why would that amount of water account for probably double the amount of people once all the native americans buddied up with them?  Madison shoveling some dudes was the coolest thing I think she's done in the entire season.

I'm in agreement that FTWD is actually kind of good at the moment. The Bazaar was pretty drat cool (although all I could think about was someone being infected and every person in there being trapped and getting eaten). Madison is definitly testing my patience. Some truly mindblowing actions like giving up the radio, turning over the guns, paying off the debt just make me angry. (I'm also calling BULLSHIT that the debt is the same amount as 10,000 gallons of water during the apocolypse.) Also, where the gently caress was Jake last episode? Did I miss a plot development or did the leader of 50% of the population do literally nothing while people rioted over water and prepared an armed assault on The Nation?
