Most of the S1 characters seem to be totally blowing it right now. Yeah, but he'll never get offed because of all the obnoxious marketing/shirts/etc. He prints money.

Oh I know he does. My dad wears fuckin' Rick Grimes shirts. 42 minutes ago, aopps42 said: I seem to recall the showrunners saying the show will essentially be over when/if Rick dies. That sucks. He's lost his mind and now his power. Now he's nothing but cheesy emotional dialogue. Coral needs to put him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan is introduced and Glenn killed in issue 100 of the comics. The issues that follow 100 are some of the best in the series. While they obviously don't follow strict to the comics the tv crew now has a truly terrifying opponent to deal with. It is always interesting to see the similarities and differences that pop up along with the how, when and which characters from the comics are introduced. I am still wanting some Darryl in the comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeJoe Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just going to second that the comics following glens death in the comic are some of the very best. Negan is a really diverse villain & I hope they get him right. Rick has been up and down for me. He is a badass in the comics. I still don't care for Carol, hope the tiger eats her.

jhulud Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 My father went on a rant last night as we were watching the episode. He's all pissed and fed up with the Rick & Co. being all "pendejos" now for letting Negan manipulate and intimidate them now as he has been. I didn't even bother attempting to reason with him on the whole point so far of the show and how it played out in the comics. It was all too amusing to see him getting riled up and declaring that he will not watch anymore.

throughbeingcruel Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 This show has become fuckin' terrible. Andrew Lincoln can't act worth a shit but I assumed he would've figured it out a bit by now. Maybe he should actually watch an episode to see how bad he is.

aopps42 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 6 and a half seasons waiting on someone to figure it out and still watching? I wish I had that kind of free time to dedicate to something I don't like. stl_ben, jonnywreck and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdomestic Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I thought it was an OK episode. Tara isn't my favourite character. Even though it was short, I thought the best part was her returning at the end to find out what Negan did to the group. What I don't understand is how all these other groups have had run ins with the Saviours, but Alexandria didn't know about them before. Were they really that isolated?

I think it might be down to the fact that they didn't have any 'fighters' and never raised their head above the parapet. However, it could just be a classic plot flaw.

The thing with that to me is if they're going to do some character development for her that was a huge missed opportunity. She gets back and finds out that Negan brutally executed two of her friends and we're left to imagine her dealing with thT off-camera but you spend an entire episode of her with this new settlement/bridge? I think you could have had a spare 5 minutes fo address that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 this show has more potential now than it ever has but the pacing is (still) completely horrible. we're two episodes away from the mid-season finale and we've only seen most major characters ONCE this season so far. i really wish they'd stop doing these singular episodes that focus on one or two specific characters just to save $$$ - i mean c'mon, its the highest rated show on cable. it totally kills all the suspension they work to build up and then when you bring characters back like heath for an episode it means i couldn't possibly care less about his whereabouts. mrewest and jerseypride 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This X a billion. Could have spent 20 minutes on Tara & that other group. Completely pointless for a whole episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aopps42 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Nice to see them get back on track last night. Probably the 2nd best episode of the season in my opinion, but every time JDM speaks I keep wondering WHY DO YOU TALK THAT WAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Oh man it's fun to talk like that haha. I can see why he got into doing it. His character is such a mind-fuck. He just seems like pure evil. The only character I'm dying for the backstory on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
