Walking Dead

Since I will have to watch it tomorrow night (watching Dak instead) what do you think happens tonight? (Last episode until February).

How is the new season? Gave it up after the crap they pulled last year

I think they will continue to drag it it out and slowly kill the show.

With how how they built the season opener up, they've tried to milk it for everything they can until the mid-season finale. Yeah I've continued to watch hoping it would make a turn, but it hasn't. I think that their approach is hoping the die hard fans stay but I think they are turning us away - just look at the season ratings.

A typical Walking Dead season. Great premiere, two or three good character episodes, and then a lot of fluff.

I do think tonight's episode will be quite good though. Should see an iconic death from the comics (not a major character, but it's an awesome Negan moment).

It seems pretty clear that they are building to a war in the second half of this season. You may get a beginning of all that tonight.

What I think

Rick gets back from his forage trip, sees Negan holding Judith

And loses his ****!

got to have some type of real drama...


Recording for later.

I watched every episode until the season finale

last year. I won't be returning. Really, really sad what should have been a lengthy and epic franchise has turned into a money grab. The problem with the TV series is that there are untouchables. Rick or Daryl should have been killed off by now. As a result, every season has a similar plot line and is boring as hell. What made the show great was the character development and unpredictability. Not the zombie deaths/special effects budget. The best episode since the first season was when Carol was forced to murder the psychotic girl. The episode came out of nowhere. Was well acted and written.

Carl is the only untouchable. Kirkman has said in interviews this is Rick's story of survival in the zombie apoclypse. Eventually when it's time for Rick to die it will be Carl's story. I don't think the tv show will make it to that point.

I hate Carl

 

[PBRME]

They've done his character no favors. Just like they did Andrea no favors. Both in the comics were fan favorites.

Part of the issue is when the series started, Chandler Riggs was 10 years old. And you know how child actors aren't usually great so they just let that slide because he looked the part.

Now he's like 17 and he has not gotten better as an actor. Combine with with poor writing for him and what you've got is a whiny, annoying character that nobody likes.

This season is worth it for Negan alone.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan's portrayal of Negan is fantastic. Larger-than-life charismatic villain that's a whole new kind of terrifying.

I think he stabs Spencer then has a helper shoot the big girl.

 

[Seinfeld]

Can't quite remember the exact quote, but that line from Negan about doing Rick a favor by shooting the overeating fatass had me rolling

Very good stuff from Negan last night.

"It's because you got no guts."

*stabs the man brutally in the stomach*

"How embarrassing! There they are! They were inside you the whole time!"
