I'm thinking that while the new FTWD has fresh faces and lots of potential, it also shows some early warning signs that *could* indicate that a lot of the stupidity and idiotic tropes that have made TWD a goddamn wasteland *could* revert this show back to its previously poo poo state, and it looks like others are conjecturing as such too. And if we want to be pedantic about things, I sorta thought that leading zombies up a ramp into the back of a truck seemed problematic without some sort of chute to guide them up onto it in the first place. Like, wouldn't most just get hung up on the sides instead of walking neatly single file up along it?

We're going to sit here and laugh at those suckers inside who are slowly starving to death and then we'll go in and take their crops wait what? Slowly starving to death? Madison mentioned they’ve got 47 people living there. You know how long you can live off of a stadium’s worth of bags of peanuts and industrial sized cans of nacho cheese and jalapeños?! Not to mention the beer!

JossiRossi posted:He's not barricading them in so they starve, he's not rounding up zombies to take down their walls, he's not even actually threatening them with an attack. All he's doing is waiting for them to fail, and when they do he'll take their stuff. The implication is that the vultures actually sabotaged the crops in the diamond and they screwed up the valve near the tanks. These guys are not content to wait for their targets to die, they want to tilt the game in their favour. As for Madison being 'nice', yeah of course she is, she's the boss. Saving a new survivour is fine, it doesn't endanger her group, in fact it makes the group like her even more. As soon as times get tough, see her throw away these niceties as she does 'what needs to be done' to save her leadership/family.

Binary Logic posted:The whole point of the bike gag was to get the zombies coming after him and lining them up in tight single-file formation like cattle before going up the ramp. touche, i thought there were a bunch of random my question still stands about the numbers on the flags and where they put those darn zombies, though!!

I hope these vultures get the same treatment the terminus cannibals did.

Cactus posted:I hope these vultures get the same treatment the terminus cannibals did. I read somewhere that the vultures are only going to be around during the first half of the season (it's unknown if they will last the whole half though). I'm hoping that when they are taken out, it will be just as sudden and unexpected as Terminus. Oh also the description for next week's episode is: "Madison and Morgan help Nick with his PTSD" It's just Nick locked in a room with Morgan listening to him spewing random sentences for an hour and calling him Benjamin. He'll realize he's relatively fine after all.

You don't know if they had as many people. Nothing about that situation would evoke "gently caress it, let's just start shooting". Especially after Mel lets Madison know they know exactly how many people and arms they have. brocked posted:Yeah, I was hoping she'd pull her gun and shoot him mid speech and she'd be covered by sniper/guard fire, make it inside, and then we'd see who's in the position of strength: the people inside a settlement who could grow their own food or the people outside in Winnebagoes who keep having to deal with all the zombies attracted by the noise of our ceaseless hammering Except their food supply is weevil'd brocked posted:Their plan is just making me laugh more the more I think about it.

I'm hoping that when they are taken out, it will be just as sudden and unexpected as Terminus. I really hope that it's Proctor John's group that does it. Also I think they're trying to make such a point out of the characters finding redemption because like the vulture said, "you haven't been tested." I really do think it's going to go tumbling down and it'll be her fault, still. But we'll see. My theory is the reason they are trying to track the Vultures is that Madison ended up joining them. moist turtleneck posted:Do you have to dress like a hipster moron to become a vulture I was really disappointed the bicycle guy didn't announce their leader Lord Humongous style. "The Ayatollah of rock 'n rolla!" I'm definitely getting a Road Warrior inspiration vibe this season. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Apr 25, 2018 |

Yeah, apparently that affected Strand and he wants to remember so he never acts that way again. While part of me wants to see the Badass Operator Strand put on a suit and start regulating in the post apoc, another part of me is intetested in what kind of man he'll be if he lets all that go and is For The Group. Kinda pisses me off that we lost 2 years of character development though.

I just want the timelines to hurry up and converge and for it to move along. The last few seasons of the main show have made me weary of non-chronological storytelling.

Do you think the not-evil people in the parking lot would kill survivors if they offered to join I can understand why Madison's group didn't shoot, but I don't see why a smaller group wouldn't shoot the homeless people when they start doing the equivalent of cleaning your windshield but with cleaning out zombies

Season 3 episode 13 has a such a weird skip that I'm trying to figure out if Hulu hosed something up and cut out part of the ep. or what. Alicia is in the bunker as the walkers swarm the ranch, everyone has died and is coming back and she starts shooting them(did they suffocate? That whole scene was weird and I'm not sure what was going on. She was putting down people who were bitten and then everyone just died?). Ophelia and whats-his-face are trying to make it out through the ventilation shaft and are half way through, contemplating jumping down. Troy and Nick are stuck in a helicopter getting swarmed by walkers and they are debating who gets the last bullet in their gun to off himself with. Madison, Strand, and Walker are on their way back to deliver the water. Then it cuts to where I presume there was a commercial. All of a sudden everyone I just mentioned is just sitting on a hill by the water truck fine and debating what to next because the ranch is destroyed and every is dead. What. the .gently caress.

From memory Madison blows something up Troy and nick get out, Alicia with people that suffocated or were put down humanely, but not iki jime'd. She passed out, poo poo went sideways, many people killed. Something something....etc etc.

The one thing I liked was when Strand found his boat again in S3, and how the zombies he encountered were dressed. One was in an evening dress. Did that group go ‘gently caress yeah, sexy party boat!’ before things went to Hell for them?

That whole scene from beginning to end is definitely in my top 10 favorite moments in both shows, maybe top 5. And yeah I noticed that too, I know the Abigail was pretty well-stocked with booze so that's what I imagine happened as well

I thought it was a cool bit too, because just from a few visual bits, you can piece together what happened to the Abigail after it got stolen.

Just finished season 3. It was interesting to see one of the worst shows on TV turn into something pretty decent. Was sad to see Daniel made it. He's the only pile of poo poo OG character that didn't get killed or reinvented into something more interesting. Actually I guess Alicia is still a crap character but she's just boring as all hell. Fuckin hate Daniel though he sucks so much. Troy got wrecked too soon. He deserved one more season/half season of crazy dude shenanigans.
