***OFFICIAL 'The Walking Dead' TV Series Thread*** (3 Viewers)

I really enjoyed this episode.  I've not been a fan of Eugene but he showed some acting chops in this episode. I'm not sure if he's truly on board with Negan's crew or just acting,  and I think that's the point. We (the audience)  aren't supposed to know yet. I think he played it well.

Yeah that's what I thought,  too.  Bad assumption on Negan's part

Yeah, I guess Negan would probably think the same about the Johnny Depp guy from Fear the Walking Dead with his drug knowledge.

 
The below isn't a "Spoiler" on what will happen.. But some may not want to know this in regards to how many episodes left so going to Spoiler it for now..

There are only 4 episodes left until the Finale on April 2nd.. Guessing the next 4 episodes build up the army and the Finale would have the first of many battles to come to setup season 8

extremely frustrating how they dumb down the show all the time, and make Neegan's guys look like absolute idiots all the time

Watching the Garbage Pail Kids thinking ... Lucille would look good in this womans forehead.

Curious as to where Ricks group will find any guns / ammo  ... while Richard is content with handing his sidearm over to start the episode.

.... and now how will Morgan fight without his stick?

Well this episode answers the guns question.

 
It's amazing how, seven years in and they're still finding places previously apparently undiscovered and not all that far from their base.

The roof falls in, because why would it not hold up?

They already established that the roofs on buildings are weaker now back in when Mr. Tainted Meat was pre-AA. At least they're consistent.

Personally, I told my son the roof would collapse as soon as they got up there and they showed all the water up there.

They were gone for a couple days, so I would think there are still lots of places still undiscovered. They were off the road and found that spot. If it was the same day, sure, but gone for a couple days at least no issues at all IMHO.

New for them, sure. But there are a lot of groups.  The others either didn't think it worthwhile or got stopped I guess.

Depending on when the outpost fell, it would be one of those places that a lot of people might avoid because there are so many dead there to take on, so it was still untouched.

How long has it been since the initial zombie apocalypse?

looking at judith there, i would say she is maybe 2? add in Rick in the hospital for about 4-5 months, and maybe 3-4 months until they reunite for Lori to have the baby, and i would give a complete guess of close to 3 years?

Judith's age seems like the easiest way to track it. Most online stuff indicates that rick was in a coma anywhere from 3-6 weeks. During that time, Shane got Lori Pregnant. Judith was born during season 3. I'm not so good at judging the age of little kids, but based on tonight's episode, she can't be more than 2 or 3 years old.

So maybe 3-4 years since the apocalypse?

 
So can we assume that Rick and Michone killed the guys that were hitting golf balls? Either that or they just snuck in and stole their stuff or they just tied them up or something. After that scene they had the radio back in working order.

 
So freaking bad now. Useless episodes filled with junk when there should be a long war going on.  It's like a horror flick now. Everyone does Idiotic stuff all the time. Horrible 

 
Horrible episode.

The writing is so bad. With everything going down, RIck decides to take a sex vacation. lol.  All his ideas are terrible. It's a miracle they weren't all killed seasons ago. Thank god for those creative writers.

 
I've said it before and I'll say it again.  I'm in this show till the end...just too invested now to give it up.  I'm weird like that.  

All throughout this show, I've tried to keep one overlying thought in mind: The show wouldn't be interesting if all the characters made 100% smart choices.  People are flawed, buildings will not be completely cleared, someone will run and take a wrong turn and not have a dumpster to dive under, ppl make mistakes.  But climbing a Ferris wheel, with ten zombies below you, so you can shoot a deer, which the zombies will get to and eat before you do, and for which you have no means of preserving its meat even if you did get it, and after announcing that you want no gunshots to draw other zombies to you, is beyond idiotic and is the final straw for me in terms of terrible horrible no good very bad writing.

If that'e the case, ok.  I was thinking 7 years / real time.

 
They took an inventory of the guns.  They know she took the sniper rifle.  Going to speed up Rick's time table I imagine. Regardless of her success Negan and his men will be looking for revenge.

 
The rapidness of how this show went from a "can't miss" to a literal "laugh out loud worse than a soap opera" is quite breath taking.   It used to be once a episode you had a "oh come on gtfo of here" moment to now its like that basically every scene. 

This show is just bad, the dialogue, the characters, the plot devices everything.  Just bad TV.  The junk yard gang might be the most comical group in the history of TV. 

 
The whole premise of the junkyard people doesn't make sense.  Find all these guns then give them to people you don't know?

Why not hold onto the guns and find people?  Those people neither more or less trustworthy as this point.

Or just hold onto the guns and tell the junkyard people they can fight with them or not. Share in the spoils or not.

Whole thing makes no sense on any level.

 
Seems maybe they were drawing this season out.  Maybe certain actors were missing for the war scenes so they were forced to draw out a few episodes out of nothing and only a few actors?

The lady leading the junkyard gang is so annoying.  They forgot the English language in 3 years?

That's why they're giving them the guns. Because they don't have enough manpower/people to fought the saviors. All the guns in the world won't help them if it's 1000 vs 20.

And yet you are still watching.. AMC. the actors and the Producers thank you for your commitment to watch a show you hate.  :thumbup:

They know where Rick and his group live. As weird as they are, they still have numbers on Rick's group.
So your choices are:

Work with them to get numbers to face Negan.
Attack them with less numbers, probably losing some of your people in the process, and becoming even weaker.
Ignore them and hope they don't come to Alexandria.

Might be just me but, if I was leading a small group to face off against Negan I'd want to work with whomever I happened upon that could help me win the war. :shrug:

AMC has gotten pretty good at starting shows strong and keeping fans tuned in to garbage.

Eta: my bad, I'm confusing some of the FX shows with AMC

This I can agree with.. Annoying and stupid.. From what I've read this group didn't exist in the comics so the writers are improvising, and failing miserably with this group. :thumbdown:

that ####### deer was so poorly CGI'd I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating it or not at first

I felt the same way.  Budget must be tight. Also they could have easily come up with some other reason to have Rick get into trouble.  But no let's create a horrible CGI deer.  Who thought that looked good?.  I couldn't even tell what it was at first glance.

Truthfully I turned it on about 3am this morning when my insomnia kicked in.  It has gone from a must watch at 9 on sunday to a fast forward the crappy parts on a wed night.  But point taken.  I think now I watch just to see how crappy the writers have become

If that's the case, you are better off watching Fear the Walking Dead.. You'll be asleep within 5 minutes ;)

I just don't see how the junkyard people have the upper-hand.

Just say you can either join us or we will find another group.  We have the guns.

 
I doubt any of the other groups- that we've seen are actively scavenging- would have found that spot. It's a day day plus away and thoroughly camouflaged with all the enormous and garish carnival stuff. Tough to see.

Of course the roof was going to collapse. 

Michonne giving up when she saw Rick go down by dropping her sword... Clear what they were going for, risky combined with the van pout afterwards. Just felt really out of character and contrived to milk another couple minutes out of the show. Given what I've seen of her all these years, I believe she would have gone ape #### on the feasting zombies... Maybe carelessly... but crazy slice and dice, not drop her sword.

Garbage Pail kids. So stupid. 

With Tara giving up the Josie and the #####cats gang, we're in for another episode at least of exactly what she told Judith before moving to any kind of negan sorry advancement. Speaking of Judith, I did like that she seems to not cry and has learned sign language... optimal skills for a post apocalyptic baby.

 
Rick trying to shoot a deer with a bunch of zombies reaching for him was really stupid, especially knowing the walkers would eat the deer anyway.  But it was surpassed by the really bad CGI superimposed deer itself.

I didn't have a problem with Rick and Michonne taking advantage of being alone on the road.  Nice getaway for them.  He even seemed to have thoughts of just staying out there on the road with her.  They make a good team.  But of course there's Carl and Judith.  I'm glad they included the fact that Glenn saved him from the beginning, in his dialogue.  Guess it got him back on track with their mission and realized they had to get back.  

And now Michonne really knows what Rick means to her.  She thought he was dead and she did the most un-Michonne thing she's ever done on the show.  

Rosita's actions with Sasha are going to speed up the war and likely ruin any plan of a surprise attack on his compound by a Rick led force.  Her and Sasha should just go ahead and fellate each other already.
