I really like what they tried to do with her since it was a nice break from the perpetual I'm strong-I'm actually wounded-This event broke me-I've recovered-goto step one cycle every character seems to have. At least with her it's a wolf in Sheeps clothing approach.

I like Carol's character and thought they did a good job leading up to her breakdown with the list of names, her evil streak with the cookie kid and her wolf in sheeps clothing storyline in Alexandria. She's a victim of abuse who doesn't want to become the abuser and seems to have found herself becoming that.

Carol turned awesome when she single-handedly obliterated Terminus and remained awesome until the incident with the kid, when suddenly she starts crying about being the most effective character on the show. That said the poo poo with her and Morgan getting into a loving fight in the middle of an attack was dumb.. as.. hell. But nobody escapes the stupidity of Walking Dead.

Anyone in this thread saying Post-Terminus and Pre-Pacifist Carol wasn't awesome are wrong.

They'd solve all their problems if they pointed the walking WMD known as Carol at his base.

Yeah but i see at as that's the point. She doesn't want to be a ruthless killer but she's really good at it and that's what/who she was fighting most of her life, now she's becoming that monster and it's because she's trying to defend all these other people. That's the way i saw it but yeah i can definitely agree it seemed like the writers may have kinda forced it at the time because they seem to have a rotating list of who is going to lose it at that time.

Agreed. I liked it was so unexpected and didn't occur during a finale. But I could tell just from the way that it was shot that it was going to be a fake-out. It would have been so, so much better if they'd just left him dead.

Absolutely. They had a nice little build up to the scene too with the guy who shot himself trying to redeem himself and p much utterly failing to do so and that kind of being on Glenn for not telling him no.

Wow some of you guys are really harsh. I don't see any problems with any of the actors in FTWD, i can definitely see criticisms of the writing and the story lines but the actors are fine. I can freely admit none of them are worthy of any awards or special recognition but i can't pinpoint a single one who is terrible or worth mocking for their acting abilities.

the walking dead shows are not art, and worse, they do not even aspire to be art

While it's funny to think of any tv show being art they all are, it's whether or not its good or bad art that is debatable. Art isn't just the good things or things you like. Maybe that's an even worse indictment you could make on the show though, that they actually do aspire to be art.

Interesting, I was thinking the fact that they've probably chosen whose been killed based on contract negotiations disqualifies TWD, but then I remembered how mercenary a lot of renaissance painters were. Anyway if anyone wants a better written zombie show to check out, and has already seen Z-nation then watch Dead Set, a a British zombie series that also spoofs Big Brother in a romero-esque kind of way

Dead Set was awesome I absolutely agree.

I think some of it has to do with the actual writing itself as well. Like I thought Nick's acting was really well done in the first season and a half, but fell a little flat in the second half of S2 because as much screen time as he got, it felt like he was just kind of there. Half the time he's just standing there listening to other people talk. The same thing happened with Alicia in the first season and a half, but now that they're writing her to be a little more interesting, her acting seems to have improved as well. Madison could use some more facial expressions but I still don't think her acting is that bad. I can definitely see Travis stepping it up next season after seeing his performance in the finale. Actually I think everyone's acting will probably be better by next season.

For me personally, it's better than overacting - like Lori for instance. It just made me more irritated by her presence than I already was. I like her performance in Colony better.

I can definitely understand the dislike of characters and the way they are written. I almost quit after the season 1 finale of FTWD when they just killed everyone at the military base but the whole Strand thing with the boat was worth waiting for season 2. But yeah, i'm not entirely happy with where everyone has progressed in the show but i do still think it's fun to watch.

I need to watch Colony, I've heard good things.

That's my issue with the main series, i'm not really interested in seeing them gently caress with another group of comically evil people. I'd rather see them actually try to realistically live in the world but not in the cheesy way it was last year when everything was peaceful in Alexandria. They've touched on it occasionally with farming or solar panels but they just keep inserting another bad person or people for them to fight.

I haven't watched FtWD because frankly it looks horrible, but the locations are good?

The main sell for The Walking Dead in my mind was that it 1) took place "after" the outbreak, and 2) took place somewhere not a major city like LA or NYC. Those things felt like novelties at the time, so a version of the same story set in LA during the outbreak seems like a step back. But yeah, I could stand to see somewhere not-Georgia.

I wish they'd been more ambitious about FtWD, though. Somewhere not in the US, maybe. Or if they're going to do a US city, something like Boston or Minneapolis or Denver. Southern California is so familiar as a setting...seeing the worldview of TWD transposed to a place with winter or mountains would be neat.

They've been in Mexico for about half the show. I absolutely agree that a snowy or mountainous location would be cool though.

The kid dying in the shower was part of the prison arc I already mentioned. Aside from that everything everyone has brought up are still injury-related deaths.

I'm talking about disease, viruses, parasites, dehydration, cancer etc (basically health-related issues and things that would be a lot more common in an apocalyptic situation).

Wait how did Tara's dad die? I remember he needed oxygen tanks and stuff.

Yeah this is part of what i wish the show would do. Kirkman talks about how he wants to see what the survivors of a zombie apocalypse do after the initial outbreak but then he/now the show writers seem to ignore the realities of what living in that world would actually entail. People can just jump into any car and drive it, heal from any wound, apparently find drinking water everywhere etc.

As far as everyone being a badass now I like that but it would be better if they gave people more to do than just kill more comically evil villains. That and everyone just surrendering and dropping their weapons at the drop of a hat.

So you would rather watch season after season of "Rick looks for food", Daryl "tries to deal with heat rash" and Carol "worries about feminine hygiene products"? That sounds even worse than what we have now.

No? I like how when given an option for a different storyline you immediately jump to the dumbest one possible and consider no other alternatives. That's very constructive thinking.

This show has characters as low on ammo/supplies/food as necessary, and the dilemma tends to be wrapped up by the end of the episode.

In a deleted scene from the S2 opener when they went back to the nursing home, there was roughly a dozen people in the group, and all they had food-wise was like, a bag of chips, a bottle of wine, and a can of garbanzo beans. They got over it.

At the start of season 3, they were so low on supplies, Carl nearly ate a can of wet dog food before Rick smacked it out of his hands. By the end of the episode, they'd found the fully stocked pantry in the prison cafeteria.

Governor was coming for them and they're seriously outgunned and Rick is down to his last bullet. Crazy-town Morgan lets them take like, a dozen assault rifles and all the ammo they'd ever need.

People are getting sick left and right from the flu. Don't worry, they get back with meds in the nick of time before anyone important from the main cast succumbs to the sickness.

Everyone's starving/dehydrated to the point they're eating worms and wild dogs. Oh, here comes a rain storm and Aaron with supplies.

I feel like if they could play it right (haha, like that'd ever happen) a storyline about their futile attempts to keep someone alive/get someone help could be a good, melancholy little story arc. Like, for example, the emotions the group would go through if, say, they were out of formula for Judith, searching high and low for anything to keep her alive, and coming up empty handed and powerless to help her since a baby can't eat solid food. Or, say, someone comes down with something that would be easily treatable if society hadn't crumbled; like, appendicitis or pneumonia, or heck, even food poisoning from eating possibly expired canned goods. Some antibiotics and IV rehydration would have cleared that right up in the old world, but that's not a possibility now. Hell, even an allergic reaction could be lethal in the zombie apocalypse.

Granted, in a show about zombies, most people don't expect realism, but there's a lot that could be done beyond 'A bad man killed my friend, now I am sad'.

E: I think the only 'medical problem that is barely kept stable' they've ever shown was that girl with Dwight that had Diabetes. And she was dead by the end of the episode, so NBD.

Very good points.

Maggie is about the second or third to last one I'd expect them to do so if it is her then kudos, I suppose, for defying my expectations.

But the real story here is how loving retarded was the cliffhanger decision. It's been said time and time, but doing that just so that your show is discussed over the break is really stupid, if all of that discussion is tainted by the context of how much of a lame storytelling decision it was to have made.

It's like a fundamental misunderstanding, maybe even a total ignorance of, the concept of "hang a lampshade on it".

This violence is not unparalleled, people. We literally saw a dude get his face ripped off and eaten against a glass door. Rick hacked off his love interest's hand, pretty graphically. Denise got an arrow through her eye then comically kept on babbling whatever dumb poo poo she was talking about before for a few more seconds. Diabeetus girl got munched in front of our eyes, we saw our *~*protagonists*~* just squelching knives effortlessly into sleeping fools' heads.

This isn't anything new. I'd bet if you timed how long we saw Noah get munched on it'd be comparable to Glen's Sloth impression.

For me it was this: Glorified death by zombie and gore is expected (Noah, Dale) and ridiculous in an Ash vs. Evil Dead sense. It's one of the reasons the show is fun to watch, you know a lot of these people will get killed by zombies and it gives the show a wide variety of ways to do it.

The people lined up getting whacked and their throats cut in Terminus was disturbing but effective in it's cold calculated way. There was little to no taunting, the people weren't getting some sadistic thrill from it and it was kinda horrifying that they seemed to have done it many many times before to be that comfortable doing it. Herschel getting his head cut off was brutal but was over pretty quick and the people who watched fought back after it happened.

In my opinion the Negan baseball batting was drawn out and sadistic being done to two people for essentially an entire episode as their helpless friends watched, that's what made me think it was really poorly done and offensive. I could have stomached it easier if it was quicker, if literally anyone else in Negan's group said something about how Rick and his group murdered their friends in their sleep or even any of Rick or his little group acknowledged that what they did when they murdered those people was pretty hosed up and got them to where they were. Instead it felt way out of place for the show to suddenly become a "Saw" or "Hostile" type movie scene.

Nobody who disliked this episode is giving any poo poo to people who liked it but there is this group of you guys who keep feigning ignorance that any other people could possibly see it a different way. If you don't understand the other people's perspective after numerous people trying to explain it to you then maybe just drop it and stop calling people pussies and little bitches and lets get on with the thread and watching the show. I enjoy this thread more than the show sometimes because people here have interesting insights and things to say.

I read the cast episode list so I'll spoiler this:

of course next week is going to be the daryl episode gotta see what he's up to now

Question for comic readers, when was this whole plot introduced? Was it before or after the series started? Because I wonder how much the first few seasons of the show influenced the comic.

Supposedly they reversed the episode order of #2 and 3 after the response to the first episode/season premiere.

This episode was kinda cheesy with the ren fair music n the background, I half expected all the townspeople in the Kingdom to talk in fake english accents, but like others here have already said i liked Ezekiel's reveal toward the end. Also echoing the "how the gently caress do you feed a tiger?" questions. It seems like they are lining up Negan et al to be the evil guys, Ezekiel et al as the good people and Rick et al as the neutral people who can do what the good people can't (i.e. kill people really well). Kind of an oversimplification but at least an interesting story arc for season 7.

Ya pretty much this. She wasn't happy being a Rambo like killer or a wolf in sheep's clothing cookie baker who threatens children. She isn't sure what she wants or if she wants to get close to people again, see them die or be threatened and have to become a ruthless killer again.

I always assumed she was still a little hosed up about Rick and co. murdering those people in their sleep and her and Maggie being captured and then having to kill her captors, some of whom slightly humanized themselves before she killed them.

Isn't she Negans Wife/Concubine now? He's trying to get her pregnant too so I can't imagine he'd hand her off to Daryl plus he can use the Alexandrians to keep Daryl in line.

I thought the episode was ok. There wasn't a lot of follow through with all the threats; the lady said Daryl would be better off going back to his cell with an onimous 'it will be MUCH worse if you get caught' but all he got was a beating. Negan gave him three options (with no 'door number 4'), join him fully, join him and work for points or end up as a walker on the fence, Daryl defied him and ends up....back in his cell?

Negan is doing way too many fakeouts. Every sentence Negan speaks seems to be some sort of threat so the more he talks and doesn't deliver the less menacing he gets. 'Lucille feels disrespected...but she's not thirsty....BUT IM THIRSTY....so I'll get a drink!'. Aye very good Negan.

What was the '39' thing written down in the notepad in the opening?

i just assumed Negan had tons of wives and that she had access to Darryl only because Negan allowed it and wanted it. It seems they're trying to make Negan into some master behavior specialist but like other people have said it makes no sense that no one has just shot him at this point.

Has anyone else gave up watching? I actually pulled the plug and stopped after episode one. I felt conflicted because there really was a time it was one of my favorite shows on TV, probably up until around the time they got to Alexandria.

I know a lot of married couples who quit after this season's premiere and a few single people who did the same (all 30-40 year old people) but the people I know who read the comics first are all still watching. I really didn't like the premiere but I like the show so I'm still watching.
