This seems like just about the effort for an op that this show deserves at this point.

i havent seen this show since the black guy from the pilot came to whatever the hell town they were currently at. Is anyone from season 1 left?

Rick, Carl, Carol, Morgan, and Glenn are all alive as of the end of season 6. Pretty sure that's all of the season 1 cast that has made it this far, but I could be forgetting someone.

Wow. I have no clue how I forgot him. It took me a while to even remember Glenn admittedly, so I guess it's not that surprising I forgot at least one.

So Negan's definitely chopping off Ricks right hand right? If you do one of those commas matter things it reads like.

Everyone's got a right hand, man. Unless, Oh did I just thunk yours?

Then he gets the idea to cut off ricks hand, voilla.

Kirkman's on record as saying that cutting off one of Rick's hands was pretty much the single stupidest thing he did in the comic because of how much if complicates doing pretty much anything with him. They're not going to hack his hand off in the TV show.

I'd have an odd level of respect for this show if it just pulled a Next and had the entire thing turn out to be just a dream on Rick's part.

It would explain all his amateur theatrics, coordinated whistling which was clearly rehearsed, etc. :v:

Bonus points if this tied in with Ezekiel and his community theater work, explaining why the Kingdom seems to get such a nice deal comparatively.

I'm already hoping that Negan's Crew becomes the new Woodsbury citizenry for huge group of extra that almost immediately gets slaughtered next season.

They already have, right? Satellite outpost, biker dudes on the highway, truckload that Carol sleeve-uzi'd, they're not getting a whole lot of screentime other than D and Negan. Fat Joe takes a close second place, though.

Well, I meant in the sense that Rick's group takes them in at the end of the season to show there's no hard feelings and then they get turned into ablative extras for the big dramatic start to the next season. Because god drat was it hilarious to have everyone wondering just how they were going to deal with all those Woodbury citizens on the show, only for the answer to be that they all get murdered on a bus.

Yup, thread is officially worse than the show.

IT's definitely gotten that way. Which is impressive given the overall quality of this season. Why the gently caress are we on like 5 pages or more of anyone at all trying to defend Negan as anything but a sleazy sexually exploitative and abusive piece of poo poo? What part of any of what we saw regarding his "wives" screamed anything but him being a sleazy, exploitative and abusive piece of poo poo regarding them? If anything the fact Negan himself supposedly has huge issues regarding rape yet perpetuates such a system is just further proof of what a complete piece of poo poo he is as a character. It's not as if it isn't common facet of rape culture for rapists not to think what they did is rape because it doesn't meet some super-specific criteria.

I think the #1 problem with this whole generation and their general approach to topics is if they don't like the topic, instead of discussing it, they do one of four things:

1) Stick their fingers in their ears and ignore everything
2) Immediately attack the source of the things you don't like until it goes away
3) All of the above
4) Retreat to a place they can cry

When there's 3+ pages of rape talk, simply discussing the real world laws - with no agenda to use them to justify anyone, and in fact suggesting they need a revamp - is not being a rape apologist. But because people only read one or two hot button words and see red, they act as above.

Maybe the context of a creepy, abusive warlord with a harem of wives coerced into staying in said harem under threat/coercion isn't a really good one to try and discuss real world rape laws in. Or, you know, that trying to defend said creepy, abusive warlord under the context of "technically he didn't violate x law!" isn't a really good defense, and kind of makes you sound a bit creepy as well. Negan isn't a good character. He's a raging, abusive rear end in a top hat warlord. Trying to defend his actions on technicality of laws that no longer even exist in the show really isn't that flattering. Nor is trying to deflect blame to this idea that somehow the argument turning badly for the borderline to outright rape apologists is due to those gosh dern millennials being pansies that can't handle a little discussion on the finer points of rape related law.

That just seemed really out of character. Like 2 or 3 seasons of Morgan's development undone really quickly...

I think he might actually kill himself, or be thinking about it

When he found the grave he sat in it and was about to cut his wrist. So he definitely thought about it.

I haven't been paying too much attention to this thread since TWD's season finale, so I'm not sure if this came up: http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/frank-darabont-walking-dead-emails-rage-boils-over-1202494598/ Apparently production was a HUGE shitshow even in season 1.
