I keep wondering why we continue to return to the Trash City when we killed them all 4 EPA ago and my only thought is that it's not a set and it must be ~really~ cheap to film in an actual garbage dump.

Bates posted:You have to appreciate how the lingering close-ups, long pauses and speaking slowly really drains all energy out of the show so you are half-way a sleep when the mandatory nonsensical fight scene rolls around. It's very normal for every member of a group to be sad and depressed for years without some gallows humor, someone trying to lighten the mood or blowing off some steam. I can identify with that and it makes me more invested in the characters. I hate this show so much. Yeah, but when R&M kill everyone they just promised to save, the show is completely irredeemable if Rick says he did it "because it was funny." That's the other R&M show. But you're right, irl Rick would be in it for the s at this point...

Captain Log posted:Honest question - Has Negan ever killed someone in cold-blood on the show? I know people are going to say "Glenn," but that was a quid pro quo medieval arrangement. Rick deads at least 10 innocents per season without warning or reason. Except for his Another stupid thing about the show is that Negan's people would have just taken over Alexandria and lived there: much nicer than the warehouse, but that didn't happen in the books so let's kill CORAL instead!

JossiRossi posted:I literally thought you were talking about Negan, cause also true there. Has Negan raped anyone on the show? We saw him get intimidating with the harem, but I don't think we've ever actually ~seen~ Negan be that kind of evil on camera. It could just as reasonably be spun that he is protecting those women from other rapists by keeping them out of bounds. As for the Polaroids, anyone could have bashed those skulls.

Shitenshi posted:Oh boy, another recurring discussion of, "Is Negan actually a rapist or are his wives just a bunch of lazy mooching whores?" Fun times. My point isn't about whether Negan actually is good or evil. It is that, if Negan is supposed to be evil and Rick is supposed to be good, they do a terrible job of showing that, to the point that a show-watcher could reasonably assume Negan is the good guy and Rick is the bad guy if they just look at Rick and Negan's actions shown on camera.

I mean, the point isn't whether or not those things are evil or rape: that's obvious. The point is can the audience even be sure those things happened since those actions have only ever been referenced by unreliable narrators?

My prediction: Maggie and Negan agree Rick is a loose cannon. The fight against him and his last holdouts is intense, but Rick's group's morale wavers when the Hilltop-Savior alliance is cemented with a Maggie-Negan wedding. The seasons ends with Glen crawling out from under the altar when Gabriel asks if anyone objects... What a twist!

The show wants to eat its cake and have it, too: Rick is both evil and good. Yin and Yang. He is all things to all peoples. He can both kill Negan with righteous vengeance and save his life with graceful mercy. Such is the Way or Rick. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be in the script.

Blazing Ownager posted:From the sounds you haven't been following the thread but to catch you up: Fear the Walking Dead got really good in the 3rd season. Gimple fired the show runner but then Gimple was moved away from creative control and frankly, the writing staff over there is flat out better and still intact. People talk a little more like people and not monologue machines, the actions is better, the production value is better.. it's bizarre. Sorry, with everything else I totally glossed over this: but HOLY gently caress! Who talks like this in real life? Rick asks the new doctor how his son died and, as a direct response to this query, retells a story about his mom. WHO THE gently caress TALKS LIKE THIS??? Jack: Hey, Jim! Are we going to the barbecue later? Jim: [takes a deep breath] My mother once told me about making plans...it never worked out for her. You see, in those days we caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. She needed a new heel for my shoe, so, we decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Don't know why you all are calling the Terminator from TSCC all of these weird names... Although to be fair, he was McCall/Wolcott on Deadwood way before that, but I just don't recognize him with the beard! Gizmodo did a good writeup about how the finale was undeserved, but I was disappointed they felt catharsis with the episode when Rick came back to the good side. The biggest problem with the season is the timeline, everything seems insane and all of the characters come off as schizophrenic making so many random changes of heart over such a short period. At least if Rick had killed Negan, everyone could have seen how far he had sunk, that even Carl's dying words were just more ash in Rick's mouth which he could use to lie and kill. Maggie/Drrrrrrl could have seen that and realized the path they were beginning to walk down, Jesus talking them back onto the ~righteous path~ setting up their confrontation with Rick with Maggie/Hilltop being the good guys. I mean, surely a bunch of salaried professional writers could come up with something better than that?
