That list is a perfect guide on what not to do in a television series

nah, it’s as uneven a list as the rest of the show, Glenn dumpster and Negan eps are dire, but there’s good ones mixed in.

Gimple wrote ‘Clear’, which was good, and I think a few others of note before he became the show runner

oh yeah no idea if putting her as show runner will actually be good, probably not. the show currently is bad, the source material to draw from at this point is bad, i don’t think it’s salvageable by anyone. but yeah im just saying credit where credit’s due, four walls and a roof for example is up there with clear, and if you don’t like either of those two episodes then sticking with the rest of this show is insanity.

They are already beginning to diverge more from the source material, which in the past is how we got the Trashkru

I don't remember four walls and a roof so :shrug:

the only thing I remember from Drrl/Berth episode is the bad lip reading made from it, because it was better than the episode itself

I liked that episode for Gabriel’s total sobbing meltdown about letting his whole congregation die when Rick’s group started accusing him of having something to do with some of their group disappearing.

I think it was also the start of Tyreese’s reaction to everything being ‘stare in horror and sweat profusely before slowly backing out of the room’

The show peaked with Carol vs Cannibals
The show was still good with Carol vs Wolves
The show sucked balls with Carol vs Regret
The show sucks with Carol God Mode Commando

Carol might be one of the only good things about the show. It can be gauged entirely in how Carol is doing.

The old Carol would have been out finding way to just loving kill all of them. In fact I'd bought her wanting to slam a dumptruck into the building more than Daryl in his infinite revenge quest for being made to eat dog food and listen to easy street for like 40 hours

Carol should just join the ZNation crew. They're around DC right now, so it's simply a quick trip across the Potomac to pick her up.

"You can't just kill Negan! They're all Negan! Someone will just replace him!"

** Negan disappears for 2 hours, entire place falls to poo poo and almost has a worker's revolt**

ED: Sthe "I am Negan" stuff is hilariously what the gently caress and they won't drop it. It actually seems like Negan as a character should get pissed about people claiming to be Negan. I mean he seems like he wants to brandname himself pretty hard.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

That will be in a series of one minute clips placed between commercials over the whole season.

This is actually a pretty huge leak because it's from Season 9.

The Season 8 finale was going to end with Negan deciding between setting eight different beloved furniture or recreational items on fire.

Maybe it just means everyone in that flashforward will die and that was some sort of afterlife fantasy. You know, just kill off some of the most popular characters on the show, that's a ticket for success.

Based on what Carl’s actor has said about leaving the show, I think they just changed their mind on him being alive and didn’t remember that they already flashed forward to where he was still around
