The zombie fence is an idiotic idea anyway even before they were metaled in place. The only way you are getting bit by the things is if you purposefully insert yourself into their mouths. I guess they make more noise when they see a person but their at-rest noise level is not exactly extremely distinguishable from their "i see something to eat" noise level. Z Nation did it better, as with many things, with the zombie moat. Let them roam free within a pit or other area that people would have to cross to get through. Zombies attached to a fence are not a deterrent as long as you can manage not to stick your hand in their mouth.

I guess him and Abraham weren't best buddies the whole way through but it is an extreme dick move to ally with the guy who bashed his head in no matter how many stuffed animals and pseudopower he has. Negan will turn on him eventually and he'll wish he went back to Rick. Plus what hookers? He can't have sex with/touch any of the wives they send to him.

Yes. In an abridged version, I'd have written out Sasha as quietly fading into becoming an Alexandria background character like Tobin (Alexandria's on-screen population and the pre-Alexandrian cast members have like a 90% overlap) and have all her scenes axed except for a few ones near the beginning and then the ones with Abraham. VoLaTiLe already made a video game comparison about her running headlong into an enemy base. As far back as season 4, she ran ahead into a larger group of walkers than they thought they could handle without a plan to draw away a few at a time, like the person in an MMO that runs ahead of everybody else in a dungeon and turns on all the enemies' aggression programming. I understand suicide by increasing risk as a way to trick oneself, but she was drawing everyone else into it. Then at the beginning of season 5 she falls asleep on a pile of dead walkers and it really left me hoping all of them were brain-stabbed really well. It occurs to me that if that scene were placed after Abraham's death, it wouldn't make any more or less sense. Most of the scenes with Sasha have been such nonsense that they only serve the purpose of saying "Yes, she is still alive and still in the cast."

Somehow the small change of adding the Leroy Jenkins sound clip over her charge into the building saves the whole episode It really fits because she's not just running in to certain doom, she's loving everyone over in the process. galenanorth posted:Yes.

But you don't understand the difficulty of being an AMC writer. It took all of their effort to install a personality into one "Scowl at everyone all of the time before scowling even harder" type, Michonne. It takes all of their effort to have her remain acting like a somewhat reasonable human being after her arrival as a rage filled mute with a penchant for random property destruction and suicidal actions.

yeah I eat rear end posted:They are more believable in that role than badass tough Carol. Not really, because Carol isn't a badass 'cause she's Rambo. She's a badass because she's usually pretty smart about it. Sure, she's wiped entire civilizations off the map, but she's used trickery, zombies, explosives, etc. to do it. Carol is awesome because she's never done anything physically above her capability - the only human I think she's curb stomped in combat was an equally aged Tasha Yar. She just has a focused will with a discovered talent for killing. Definitely one of my favorite characters which is why they made her have a breakdown and sidelined her for an entire season living as a hermit. Thanks, AMC. Obligatory Reminder: It's been less than a month since she left Alexandria. She's been on like a two week vacation; good thing her Wolverine healing powers took care of that bullet. Maybe anyone with the letters CARoL in their name can heal in like 2 days from massive bullet wounds. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Alexandria's population will get some screen time in whichever season they get around to showing disappointing snippets of the battle in flashbacks. Someone has to die to try and give what's going on an emotional impact while Rick crouches behind something pouring Naked Gun/Airplane levels of sweat while trying not to drown in it. It will be like in LOST when those mercenaries come to the island and start massacring the survivors of the crash and you are like "Oh right there is supposed to be like 80+ people" and people are getting killed left and right around the main cast the show had focused on for like 3 seasons at that point.

cosmically_cosmic posted:I stopped reading the comics during the Negan arc. What did they end up doing? This is how the Negan story ended in the comics The allied communities go to war with Negan, there's some battles and stuff, it ends with a big climactic battle at Hilltop. Negan and Rick are fighting, Negan seems like he's gonna win because he's got like 6 inches and 50 pound and an arm on Rick, and then Rick is like, "why are we fighting? This is really stupid. You don't want to farm? fine. You have like fifty goons, if you used your manpower to keep the areas between the communities clear of zombies, we'd willingly pay you in food for that service. You could be the corner stone of a new post-zombie world, but you're just killing people for no gain" And Negan pauses and basically says, holy poo poo he's right. Then Rick slits his throat with a straight razor. Rick yells "hey everybody the war is over, Negan is gonna die but our doctor is gonna save him because we're the good guys, so this fight is over, everybody go home. We're not gonna kill Negan, we're gonna lock him up in a basement dungeon for the rest of his life. He'll be fed regularly and bathed and shaved monthly, because we're the good guys, I am literally stating to all of you that this is purely to establish my moral superiority" And that's it, war over, comic then time-jumps two years ahead, Negan is still locked in a dungeon

They kept the place safe and and forced the other people to pay for it, like the mob. Hence the name "saviors".

cosmically_cosmic posted:That is... Wow... That's bad. There's more to it that adds to why it happened that way Guy didn't mentioned: so at some point Dwight turns double agent and begins working with the Kingdom and Rick. Rick doesn't trust him. For the final fight the Saviors begin using tainted arrows and knives by having a couple of chained walkers around. Basically, anyone getting hit by them pretty much dies from the fever / infection. Dwight shoots Rick with a bolt and Negan sees it. They fight some more but at some point Negan just calls for a retreat since all he needs to do now is wait for Rick to die. But Dwight was actually on Rick's side and he never tainted the bolt. So the next day Negan comes back to basically call the war over and asks for Rick's body but is shocked when Rick shows up and is still alive and well. They have a quick conversation which ends as previously told however after getting his neck cut Negan beats the ever loving poo poo out of Rick even going so far as to snapping Rick's leg in 2. He then falls to his wound while Dwight picks up Lucille and takes over the Saviors, ending the war. Rick in the comics right now (which timeline wise is years after this war) still has a gimp leg from what Negan did so it wasn't an easy win. I honestly felt the war was a pretty good storyline because once the war actually begins, it really is non-stop fighting at various locations until it ends. Of course, there's no loving way the show will have so much action and they'll probably spread it out throughout the entirety of next season which means it's going to be loving terrible.

Who was that person with the crossbow at the end of the last episode? Also, comic talk what is going to happen with Eugene? In the comics he seems to become at least somewhat more in the realm of not being a little bitch and crying all the time, but he also seems to hook up with Rosita, so I guess that arc is gone. Think they'll move to the Whisperer storyline at some point? I would think it could be a pain to recreate with the zipper zombie suits but what do I know.
