UmOk posted:I think this is why the show has lost me. First couple seasons had all these cool characters that were all different and interesting. Now everyone is a super bad rear end that slaughters zombies by the hundreds with pocket knives. Everyone is Rick, and Rick is psychotic. Well you'd hope that they'd have gotten some skills over the past few years of living in the zombie apocalypse...

happyhippy posted:What I miss from the recent TWD is coming across places that were once hold out places for others that failed. Well now that they have a home base in Alexandria, they aren't exploring as much. There are of course explorer teams sent out from Alexandria, but they aren't followed because we're focused more on domestic drama. Of course that could all change this season, who knows?

Rick watches Negan bash Glenn's head in, and then realizes he was just imagining it. Negan then is about to really swing, and Strand walks up and shoots Negan in the face.

I was wondering why they wouldn't just up and leave after Negan lets them go back to Alexandria, just pack up and go back to GA or Utah or something, especially since that was the Plan B that Rick had left Gabriel with. Then Negan took Daryl hostage and whelp.

Annointed posted:Wow good job following the comic and killing off a character on borrowed time and the one who died in this episode. I am certainly impressed at how you killed the only asian character of the main cast. I know, he should totally have had character armor to keep up proper representation of minorities. Pretty shitlordy of those white guys in charge. Probably Kirkman is a Trump supporter.

I think the real hook this season is when we find out Negan's backstory. If they can humanize him like they did The Governor, it'll make what Kirkman says about " you'd have been rooting for him" become true.

Feeding walkers to the pigs before Negan's guys eat the pigs is about on the same level as a fry cook getting his revenge by rubbing his dick on an rear end in a top hat customer's burger.

Yeah I don't understand that part either. He has a bat. And everyone around him, even his most closest, personal lieutenants, are still guys he treats like poo poo, constantly tests, and plays mind games with. I could understand if he had some sort of inner circle of best bros who prop him up, but literally everyone would be better off personally if he was gone.

King Vidiot posted:My only big question is how did Negan even get the first guy to join him? You'd think he'd start with someone tough and intimidating, like himself, but someone like that would probably straight-up kill him and take his poo poo if Negan didn't do it first. If it was a former Rick, then they probably would never be 100% loyal to him and would either run away or stab him in the back. I don't know if they ever get into it in the comic. I'm on the fence if I want them to show the "Secret Origins of Negan--REVEALED!!" because if they humanize him like The Governor it'll take away from the existence of Negan as a Force of Nature.

I know it's a cool idea on the one hand to have a season long antagonist for the first time in awhile, and it's cool for that guy to be Negan, but it's gonna be a real drag slogging through 12 or so more episodes (including a mid season break) of watching Our Heroes be mopey, beaten down betas.

Bulkiest Toaster posted:Again, the big question is why not just run or fight? I mean Alexandria still has it's big steel walls and they had there huge arsenal. I know they are outnumbered but they could have blown away negan and a bunch of his dudes.... I just think the way they have done this slave to Negan plot is not that believable. That I don't get at all, because before Rick left he told Gabriel the plan to evacuate everyone and meet somewhere. So that was on the table. They could just pile into a bunch of cars and get the gently caress out and go to back to Georgia or Nebraska or something. No way in hell Negan's guys will follow them across the country.

They're also splitting every episode into 1 per crew. So we have a Maggie ep next week. Then we'll probably check back in with Darryl for an episode. Then we'll jump back to the Kingdom to see how Carol and Morgan are doing. Then A plot with the main group in Alexandria--probably Rosita gets some bullets and takes a shot at Negan--CRISIS MIDSEASON FINALE SOMEONE WILL DIE! Then back for another 8 episodes split between each group where little happens until finally after things are at their lowest everyone bands together to fight Negan. End of season.

I gotta wonder about The Kingdom--how did they get the deal where Negan didn't walk in swinging his dick and cowing the populace? Nobody there even knows about the deal. Does Ezekiel really have that much juice?

RenegadeStyle1 posted:The real reason he got the deal is Negan probably said I will kill all of you if you don't pay half and Ezekiel immediately said ok. You guys forget that the reason Rick got the raw end of the deal is because they took out an entire base of their guys. I get the feeling that no other community has done that or even close to that. Yeah, deep down Negan is probably making GBS threads his pants about Rick and realizes he has somewhat of a tiger by the tail here. As badass as Negan is, he has to have some inkling Rick and his group are serious post apoc operators who are on a different level from any of the local yokels. If he doesn't realize it now, he might really get it when he watches the tape of Crazy Murder Beard Rick and the others confessing how they crossed state lines on a murder spree that took out multiple well organized, well armed communities of psychopaths and cannibals. He's really trying hard to break Rick and keep him down, but he's gotta worry about if he truly has, and if Rick can just overwhelm him. I do think that's why he took the guns, and I think Coral was just the excuse he used for a plan he already had. magpie posted:I made the point in the last thread that people are comparing this to Mad Men when the should just switch off their brain and compare it to 24 but what's more fun than endlessly debating if Glen can assume the size of a Tim Hortorns Coffee cup under a dumpster or who set the quarry on fire? One way I'd compare this to Mad Men is I think Rick is a lot like Don Draper. He's on some sort of Life Journey where he's trying to learn stuff about who he is and what he should do in the world, but he keeps backsliding into bad habits and we have no idea where he'll end up. Rick can't decide if he wants to be a crazy hardass badass leader or a farmer who knuckles under and so he flip flops back and forth. Maybe in the end Rick will create greatest Coke commercial of all time.

britishbornandbread posted:I loved the slow burn of Shane turning into a madman. Rick's ongoing helplessness was good, too. I think my personal perception of Shane was colored by the circumstances of the time, ie he was operating an a more advanced apocalypse level but came off like an rear end in a top hat in the Pollyanna days of S1 and 2.. I think I'd like to do a rewatch of the early series to see how Shane looks now, knowing what we know about how far the world goes with poo poo like Terminus, The Governor, Negan, etc. I'd be willing to bet Shane looks a lot better in hindsight.

Not always, but they are starting to make a point of running older cars. They're easier to maintain without computers as well. Falling Skies did this a lot, and you see it in Z Nation as well.

TOOT BOOT posted:No the point is to split up the main cast and have as few expensive actors as possible per episode. They have so many small groups of people to cover its ridiculous now. We'll be seeing Rick like once every 5 episodes now. This seems to be the case. I mean poo poo, I pointed out weeks ago that they were gonna cycle through individual stories--but even I'd forgotten about Tara and Heath going away and thought they'd be back to Daryl or Carol/Morgan by now. And now of course since Coral and Jesus have left the group, they get their own episode next week. Hooray for not advancing the plot!

galenanorth posted:They could have skipped all the Mexican-standoff-without-a-gun scenes and just fully explained the backstory of the village at the dinner table, if they needed exposition. Also, all the long scenes like the opening where they called a walker a "bobber" were twice as long as they needed to be. All the dialog concerning the woman that "betrayed" the community to help Tara was really repetitive. It's not that there's "too much character development"; it's that it's redundant character development. 80% of "you'd better not tell the community" could have been canned and we'd have gotten the point. This episode could have been half of its length. The only the scenes that didn't need editing for time were the ones with Heath and Tara or at the bridge. I didn't mind the episode per se. I thought the opening was intriguing, with new characters we'd never met. Meeting a new community was interesting too. What's a drag is it didn't advance the overall arc of Rick and Co get their mojo back and defeat Negan. It was particularly a slap in the face seeing Previouslys with them being badass and speedrunning through the Savior satellite station. I think part of the problem is that the producers get these high concept ideas of "OK, let's set something up and we'll build it up over a long time and it will be totally cool!" but it drags out and falls flat.

Senor Tron posted:That's one of the worst things about the fact they keep using the backwoods of Georgia for every single filming location, it's really easy to forget that they are meant to be right next door to Washington DC. To be fair "Alexandria" isn't the actual city/town of Alexandria, it's a planned community near to Washington, but they don't say how near. But yeah, I felt like the whole "girl looking at a map with a line drawn to Washington" was kinda a big tease. Ultimately this show doesn't have the budget to effectively pull off a romp through Z-torn Washington DC, which is the real reason they'll never go there. Which is too bad, because it would be rad as hell to go into the White House and the Pentagon and poo poo. Of course they'd be teeming with zombies so that might make reconning the Oval Office or raiding the Smithsonian a bit hard.

When Negan was talking to Coral I almost felt, for a brief moment, he was letting his guard down to show his true self. I wonder if he'll keep Coral around as someone he can be sincere with in private and take the mask off.

The sad thing is that Spencer may have been on to something. Nobody has just tried to be cool with Negan and say "Look, you know what, I'm cool with you" and go with his craziness and not be intimidated. If he hadn't shot his wad with the Rick stuff, he might have actually had a very different relationship with Negan than anyone else, and perhaps capitalized on that.
