As an avid lover of this show, I seriously hope poo poo picks up again soon because it's getting a little tiresome sitting here watching this bunch of morons squabble over tinned beans for fifty minutes at a time.

Abe's flashback showed us the real reason everyone fights over canned goods.

Why does Abe beat his canned goods? Doesn't he love them?

Get your shit together, and put it in a backpack, all your shit, so it's together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere. You know? Take it to the shit store and sell it. Or put it in a shit museum, I don't care what you do, you just gotta get it together.
Get your shit together.

Half of the past couple episodes were nearly completely black on my pathetic screen. Wish I felt that I missed something.
Edit, also couldn't make out anything but green when they reached the point that everyone but Abe wanted to backtrack.

Good to see Beth back.

I remember laughing my loving rear end out when Rick say "something something stuff/thaangs" but now for the life of me can't remember the exact wording and context except that I think it was still at the prison. Can anyone throw a dog a bone?

Prison. During probably the most annoying part of the series. Lori hallucinations. Hershel comes down and asks Rick what he's doing. He says stuff...and...thangs

To be fair, it's a disgusting morass of accents in the south. I live on the Mississippi gulf coast and code switch pretty hard when I'm talking to someone twenty miles north of I-10.

If someone sounded a little English, I'd probably assume they were from some uncontacted Louisiana tribe and shrug it off.

I'm kind of sad because I now understand in this context he is mocking Lori which is why he says "thangs" so ridiculously. Missing the actual context of the writing then ridiculing it for that sake..I am become the Walking Thread.

As I mentioned in prev thread , I've been rewatching the series as background noise for working and one thing I've noticed is the pacing feels way different when you're watching back to back vs week by week. Kind of makes me wonder, since majority of people binge watch tv shows on streaming services now, if they pace it this way for that reason intentionally.

re: abe's family being terrified of him beating to death a group of men with a soup can. Remember this takes place right at the start of the apoc. I just got to the scene where Shane beats the living gently caress out of Ed for slapping Carol and everyone was horrified and shocked that a former police officer would beat a dude that far, I can only imagine how shocked someone's own family would be if it was more than just beating it was beating to death, and multiple people.

Pretty sure that didn't happen at the start of the apocalypse. Unless you think it took him a couple years to get from Texas to Georgia.

Might be melded memories but in the books it happens at the start. They hole up with others in a grocery store. It takes a few months, starts civil, amicable, over time the WROL changes the people and causes them to do the rapething to the family. So his canning of the dudes happens a few mos after the start. Don't forget that Eugene doesn't actually want to get to DC and is actively trying to derail the journey. Based on side statements about "sacrifices" that were made on the road, it sounds like they met another group which probably had its own set of drama.

and the show has only spanned 514 days so far.

So I'm no longer hate watching this show, I'm now just despondantly staring at the screen with no emotion.

Do people feel that zombies are not even a threat in this show anymore? The only drama when it comes to advesaries seems to be other humans that they cross.


Add everyone else's answers to the fact that most of the zombies around are now pretty far along in the rotting process, and the oldest ones have been enduring 2 years of exposure to some of the most insufferable poo poo weather in these United States. It seems like the only time they're remotely threatening are in big hordes or when they're pretending to be piles of clay or swamp water.

It's not even that, it's the obsession with size of the tv to the detriment of any sort of quality in the actual screen. Yeah you got a 60 inch tv but it's a horrible LCD with awful viewing angles. Hey why can't I see anything dark?

I don't know, a lot of lovely and even average tvs just crush grays to black and have really bad contrast in dark areas.

You answered your own question there - LED. LCDs are fine for bright commercials but they are often poor choices for a wide range of content.
