The only time anyone on this show came even close to taking a poo poo was one of those claimer guys sitting on a toilet, and then Rick strangled him. Or stabbed him, I forget.

I didn't personally watch S4b of FTWD but I heard there was a scene featuring Morgan on a toilet taking a dump.

This finale had a whole rear end Henry subplot. Why??

They need a character to insert into Carl’s role in the comic storylines so they’re hoping they can make the audience give a crap about Henry.

I will return to this show and watch every remaining episode until it sees the blessed peace of cancellation if they (Comic spoilers) have Rick and Maggies heads inexplicably as part of the line up on the Whisperers border which everyone knows is how the season will end.

Rick had rebar go right through him and lived. Jesus died from one little knife cut in the same location.
FTWD had the exact same.scenario as Henry getting mad when Alicia met some new kids and for fun they kept a zombie head. She got upset and had same reaction as Henry.
Either the laziest writing and/or they think viewers have no memory
Edit: and smearing zombie on oneself is
A. A good tactic to be unnoticed
B. A dangerous tactic because it will cause disease through infection
C. A good tactic for the whisperers

Make up your mind TWD!

To be fair, Jesus got stabbed with a machete that entered his lower back and visibly exited in the front of his chest so it probably went through some/most organs.

I didn't really think about it in the comics, but seeing the herd/Whisperers onscreen made me think:
Have the heroes scavenged any machine guns over the past 6+ years? If you see the Whisperers leading a herd like the one we saw milling around in a circle, just mow them the gently caress down. They don't use guns and they have to hope you don't hit them when they're right next to a zombie. In fact, they're weaker than zombies because you can take them down with a shot anywhere on their body instead of just the head. Plus, if they get shot, they'll probably shout or whimper, which will make the zombies realize they're human.

They just didn't seem all that threatening compared to human factions with guns.

Right? A mounted .50cal would have made mincemeat of that circleherd in seconds. You don't even have to hit them: at that size the rounds will take your arm off just passing you by, and that's before 7 years of rot...

This show is maddening because once again the episode did have good scenes and elements but also some nonsensical stuff.

Holywoodreporter just put out an interview with him. How he felt about his character is how I feel about the show. They have so much fun and cool poo poo in the comics to mine and use and they squander every single loving opportunity.
Thanks for posting this.
Wow what a waste of a character and actor. Jesus (Tom Payne) should join Legends of Tomorrow, have a few laughs and show off more martial arts moves.
And Josh Wigler is freakishly prolific.

One of the initial joys of watching FTWD was seeing locations that weren’t just backwater woods. TWD has an awful setting because every area of the south (outside of the Louisiana swamps and the Florida coast) looks exactly the same. Nine loving seasons set in the first 8 hours of that road trip where you’re not sure if you’re still in Alabama or not. They can’t even be bothered to show different seasons, it’s always “vaguely late summer/early autumn”.

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

FTWD was at it's best when it was doing it's own world building at the US/Mexico border and really taking advantage of the scenery
