Ohgod if it's going to be a talky bottle episode I might have to wait till next week so that there's a normal episode to watch right after.

I just slid a lovely gunfight episode down your throat and you thanked me for it!

By this point I dunno, I feel like they're just lazily checking the boxes of 'happened in the comic' and harvesting nerd money TBH, while of course spending most of the money on the higher salaries of the actors who feel like they need it to put up with this poo poo.

Please tell me the deer appeared in the comic and it was drawn in crayon with no explanation whatsoever

I find the terrible action-focused episodes always easier to watch than the terrible dialogue-focused episodes. At least with the lovely action episodes you can laugh at all the bad editing and nonsensical decisions the characters make, and watching things happening, however dumb, is always more interesting than a couple of people talking for ages about essentially nothing.

Things cane be entertaining without being good. I find Negan entertaining despite being objectively about a thousand times dumber than the Governator.

Contrast this to a show like The 100, which only took character names and the basic premise from the books and then went off in a totally different direction and created a much larger and more interesting world.
I love The 100. It's got its fair share of dumb writing and logic but it's fun. I've never watched an episode and thought "well that was a waste of my time..."

I've never read the source material but I've read about it and yeah, they are almost completely independent of each other.

I've been lurking in this thread forever. I loved the show, started to get worried last season and I cannot BELIEVE my eyes now. What in the WORLD changed to make these last few episodes so obviously way worse? What?

But, I will freely admit I love the drat characters/actors so much I will keep watching until the bitter end.

Anyone know what the hell happened that it's so drat bad now?

It's the directing and editing, I maintain that there's nothing too bad about the story or even the script compared to previous seasons - A bunch of stupid gun fights and people firing cheesy monologues at each other is what the show's always been about, and that's cool, as long as some effort has gone into it.

I'm actually looking forward to this Negan and Priest in the container episode because it's got to be the hardest one to gently caress up.

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

This episode was the least bad so far. It's major weaknesses were the nonlinear story telling which has been bad all season, and the usual Plot Armor garbage.

We got to see a room full of actors really giving it their all though and leaning into their character traits which was really fun.

It's amazing that they had Negan say, "You never get sick putting guts on yourself?" just so people would understand why Gabriel got sick at the end from putting guts on himself. It was one of the less subtle writing moments in one of the least subtle shows on tv.

I missed the first half of the episode. Why didn't Gabriel pop a cap in Negan's white rear end again?
