Yea I love the fact he was smiling like a mother fucker while kicking rear end. Also poor Noah I totally didn't see that poo poo coming, especially after he was all like  "When I grow up I wanna be an architect just like you"It was the whole "Don't let me go" then the horrified gaze he gave Glen through the window before he was swarmed that made me feel so bad for the dude. I guess the Preacher is the new Blaclander (black females don't count)

One of the first things we learned about Abraham is that he loves killing zombies so it was nice to see the man with a smile on his face again, especially just moments after he was having a PTSD meltdown.

I'd like to know if it was scripted that it would go flying off after the second hit, or if he just ad-libbed and kept going.

Three black men have died since 5B started. Well, I assume the horse was male because Michonne/Sasha are untouchable. At this point I'd gladly have Gabriel die next too. His character is pointless. Drat, Noah's death though. That was gruesome even for TWD.

Best episode in forever. Hated the gore, loved the plot and characters (Eugene and the Chekhov's Gun Van to be specific). Can someone make an avatar-sized gif of Abraham killing Walkers with the mace? I call dibs!

This was probably the best episode this season. I totally wasn't expecting Noah to become a lunch buffet and goddrat that was brutal.

For all the incompetence they are shown to have they are pretty awesome at scavenging for supplies. While Ricks group were starving to death and eating dogs, Alexandria is rocking freezers of chocolate bars.

I'm not done catching up on this thread yet so this has nothing to do with whatever awful discussion may be happening on this page but I really wish people would stop complaining about "teleporting, cheating" zombies. Zombies have to cheat to kill anyone ever. They literally have the combat ability of senile octogenarians with rabies. Every fat goon here would surive a real zombie apocalypse along with everyone else on earth because drunken rednecks would kill all the undead before you finished packing your bugout bag with canned beans. Just saying.

I also like to pretend that the world before the zombies came was just like Idiocracy. It's the only way to explain how the most bloatedly overfunded military in History got it's poo poo pushed in by slow stumbling corpses. It all makes sense that way. Rick and company are still alive because they actually were the smartest most capable people in the world. You just have to realize Father Carver and ROTC aren't stupid by their world's standard. They're actually still above average. So what I'm saying is The Walking Dead is actually a comedy about a post-apocalyptic world of stupid people. It is unironically my favorite show.

The eagle on the side of the van was a nice symbolic nod to the fact that only national socialism can save our protagonists, and by extension, America.

The long suspense-filled scenes in the warehouse leading up to the gore had me standing up and shouting at the tv GET OUT NOW!

Anyone noticed the city segments over the last few episodes had very little zombies in them. Yet the grassy suburbs have dozens or more. So this mean the city is safer to stay now?

If it happened for real, in our world, the first people to encounter them would be like "OH poo poo ZOMBIES" and the cops would show up and shoot them in the head and the outbreak would be over and everyone would go out for drinks and have a good laugh about what a close call that was. But if it happened in a world where nobody has ever seen or heard of a zombie before, nobody would know what the gently caress is going on, nobody would know you have to shoot them in the head to keep them down, nobody would even assume they were dead at first - you'd just think it was some kind of awful rabies-like virus.

Just saying. They don't have to teleport to kill people, you just have to write a plot that puts characters in situations where they have to take huge risks for survival and sometimes one or some of them die when taking those risks (as long as one black man is around until another is there to take his place). Teleporting is just when writers are too lazy to write an actual situation out but want to put drama/death/scares in, which is also why it's annoying. For another example, that's when the Fthe13th movies got exceptionally lazy as well - when they were like "how can Jason possibly catch people in a boat/Manhattan - gently caress it, he straight up teleports!"

Remember, zombies/walkers are never the primary threat. Humans are because we're complete and utter bastard idiots. Everything would have been fine if Aiden hadn't shot the flashbang. Everything would been fine if Coward Guy hadn't squeezed out the revolving door. Everything would have been fine if one of the construction guys hadn't shot the hydraulics so Francine fell to the ground. Look how much we panicked over Ebola. Now multiply that panic by a real threat and the unrational actions humans would take in that situation. Throw in people looking to take advantage of the mess and I could see a chance that things go horribly wrong horribly quickly in the case of an outbreak where nearly every dead body is a new walker. I forget the exact qoute, but isn't it something like "every major city is 72 hours away from a riot?" What happens when water/power/food delivery is disrupted just by the course of normal events?

Just saying. It hasn't been talked about lately, but I find the theory that they're all just deaf from all the close range gunfire over the time since all of this started to be the only satisfying explanation. That opens the door for sneaky zombies making any sense whatsoever.

Just saying. They could also maybe stop arbitrarily killing people in ways that are counterproductive to things like long-form storytelling. If that happened, maybe zombies would not need to teleport! I think it's telling that the gore was the shocking part of this episode and not, you know, the fact that an established character died.

Appropriately enough I think this is actually a Pratchett (RIP) quote: "...only two meals away from chaos at the best of times." http://tinyurl.com/l47py8k As a modern example, the best thing to look at is probably New Orleans after Katrina. The issue wasn't so much the hurricane itself as our complete and utter mishandling of it.

During the 2000 fuel crisis in the UK, it wasn't hard to see how close the population is to serious misbehaviour. In just one day the petrol station queue went around the block, and people started panic buying. 'Threads' was all about this, alongside the whole nuclear holocaust thing, obvs.

precision posted:Of all the places to find this out, in this thread? gently caress. Ah poo poo, sorry man. I guess you're not in the UK? It's been all over the news here.Regarding humans being the ultimate threat, that is to my mind 1000x more interesting than zombies. Zombies are interesting if it's real life or a video game and it's a constant athletic test and shooting competition to stay alive. As a detached viewer who wants a narrative arc, not so much. This is something the video games do better than the TV show, at least since Season 2 when Rick capped Shane: the concept of internal conflict within the group. The second season of the game is particularly brilliant in that regard. Like, in real life, if you end up living with someone or in a relationship with someone who turns out to be an aggressive, unstable dickhead, you can just leave. When they're part of your survivor group, not so much.

This is why I suspend my disbelief for the teleporting zombies and the groups (and especially the Alexandrian's) tactilol stupidity. The zombies are just there to push everyone to the breaking point. To keep the pressure on.This is the interesting thing and even with its flaws the show must be doing something right because it's holding my attention better than anything else on Tv. Speaking of tactilol stuff. I keep waiting for someone, anyone, to mention that Alexandria's supports are on the wrong side of the loving wall. What the gently caress?
