Glen and Abe will get bashed. Rick will be all pissed and try to come at Negan, but he'll probably grab Carl or something and then Rick will finally submit.

Johnny Truant posted:Except everywhere I've looked everyone is complaining specifically about the gore, so... not really? You weren't looking hard enough. quote:It’s not a matter of the level of violence; that in itself doesn’t bother me. It’s almost never the kind of violence or relative explicitness that turns me against a movie or a television series. It’s always about the worldview of the people presenting it. That’s what’s offensive to me — not the gore, but the sensibility behind it. quote:And it turned outright problematic last season when the show seemed to eschew true character or narrative developments in lieu of tawdry manipulation. Whether it was faking Glenn’s death, dropping Polaroids of bashed-in heads into shots to tease comics fans, or the seemingly endless almost-reveals of new bad guy Negan, The Walking Dead seemed more about hyping itself than about telling a story. It's not just the violence, it's the tedium and misery. Also the terrible writing, direction etc. I have no problem with them killing Glenn off, but they executed poorly. It's not even the gore for me, it's everything around it and the structure of the episode. It was clearly meant to be emotionally manipulative, but they tried too hard and it came off as gratuitous. Seriously the reviews haven't been this bad since the season finale. But people keep watching so the show will keep being terrible. You can say, what do you expect it's zombies! But I don't remember Shaun of the Dead, Z-Nation or the OG Dawn of the Dead being so wanton and purposefully manipulative on such a base level for the sake of it. Z-Nation can be gross/gorey but it knows it's a b-movie level show and presents itself like that. Same with Ash VS the Evil dead which has like 10x the gore, but it stays in it's lane. Walking Dead wants to be a serious drama and a gorefest but it's doing neither in a genuine, engaging way.

I love Ezekiel. I like that his backstory was grounded and about the only believable explanation for having a Tiger. I like that he dropped the act in front of Carol because, hey, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. I like that she saw right through him and he saw back through her. I liked the lovely Tiger CG and the King Ezekiel quotes in every room like he was LARP Moses. Jerry was adorable. I was cackling the entire time Carol was in the theatre when Morgan introduced them. I'm just hoping we get a "Booya!" easter egg next time. This is the most and best ridiculous change of pace and a nice break up from the endless misery the show needed honestly. It also reminded me I need to catch up on Z-Nation. Thanks Walking Dead!

If we're talking about crossovers, I'd really like to see Clementine. And Lee but he'd be dead by now although the show changes poo poo all the time so we could have both of them. I'd like to see Stone Cold Carl and Clem being an awesome teenage duo. Like the millennial version of Rick and Michonne.

I like Sasha. Mostly for her potential if that makes sense. Everyone around her dies. Yeah everyone in this show dies but she lost Bob, Tyreese and now Abharam and still gets up and gets the job done. She's an excellent sniper. She could be a crazy interesting character if the writers actually explored this. She is also a black woman on TV and our demographic always gets shafted when it comes to representation. She is a "strong black woman" but doesn't fall into the trope of not needing companionship, even though she fights it sometimes. Sasha could be really cool and good if they gave her some character building. Remember how Michonne came around? I want that for Sasha.

moist turtleneck posted:I was kind of hoping that Alicia was going to start comically shooting people in the head that weren't in immediate danger while all the onlookers are like "wtf yo" I remember being kinda sad when Andrea died, because I had hope they could fix the character after all the lovely writing and I was looking forward to her comics arc. But now I'm really glad she's dead because they gave it to Michonne who almost immediately became 100x better the next season, and Michonne/Rick are about the only enjoyable thing left in the show at all.

moist turtleneck posted:What is with this show and having really stupid drawn out scenes at hilltop? The writers know anything about tone, tension, or setting up proper A & B stories that gel with the seasons overarching plot. They also don't seem to understand properly setting up and executing an overarching plot. It seems like they have no idea what kind of climaxes, resolutions and character development is actually satisfying as a viewer.

It almost is though. clown shoes posted:Wow leave Under the Dome alone. It was terrible but a lot more fun to watch than this Dead show. I never watched UTD but the book was really enjoyable. My favorite King books are the ones that focus on the entire towns. (Needful Things, IT)
