That was a good ep. People are kind of missing the point by judging it on who got batted, the point was to detail how Rick got switched back into bitch mode.

Also Trevor haz a pen.

So quick question: Why the flying gently caress is Sasha so gung-ho for staying at Hilltop other than "We can't just have Maggie there alone??" Same really goes for Enid.

Sasha wants to be near her boyfriends grave and her good widow mate Maggie. She also wants to hatch a plan to kill Negan without some bitch like Rick bitching it up. Enid needs a bit more on screen time so people care when she dies.

Finding out Negan was a gas station attendant pre-apocalypse would be interesting even if they gave us nothing else at all because at least we could fill in the gaps wondering how he got to this point. They haven't done that with really any of the characters though, we know almost nothing about them and they just barely even have personalities.

I think part of the problem is the main content creator is a neckbeard whose only literary frame of reference seems to be schlock. Which would be fine if they really embraced stuff like the silliness of episode 2 and kung fu Jesus etc but it tries to be some heavy character drama and they just don't understand how to do it.

You're in luck, that neckbeard has actually made a Negan backstory minicomic called "Here's Negan" and his pre-apocalypse job is about the only thing it has divulged so far. It's spoiler free too.

In this, he explicitly offers to let Amber go back to Mark, and work "whatever job she had before". TV show is loving it up or making it look really bad for Negan, but that's what TV writers do.

edit: vv Yeah, that and the culture of the saviors leans more toward ratting/selling people out for points, and sucking up to Negan. Sorta like Nazi-era Germany.

This is almost word for word the same as the TV series.

e: I hope everyone gets raped in the next ep. Even Eugene and the horse.

They were light on the tribute though, so his nonchalance could be taken as sign that the saviors are planning to attack them soon. Not that any such subtlety is necessary in this show since they followed it up with a brawl and him literally saying things are going to get visceral to Ezekial.

You do understand that animals actually have to breed and raise their young in order for the population to "boom", right? Basically it sounds like you believe that vultures just spring fully-formed from eggs like, a day or two after they're laid. I'm sorry but despite the huge initial glut of dead livestock and pets and people, it's going to rot very very fast and then there's no more food so the vultures won't start breeding like crazy next year. Rats on the other hand.. Pigeons? Locusts? There really should be a "zombie herd" of rats or locusts that just rolls through Alexandria sometime, because that's way more likely to happen when there's no pest extermination in large population hubs, no pesticides out in those abandoned farm fields, etc..

Also thinking that carrion-eaters will suddenly stop relying on carrion and "adapt to be less picky about whether or not a corpse is moving" is also stupid as gently caress. Both predators and scavengers put a lot of work into remaining as safe as possible because, when you're an animal, even a small injury comes at a very high cost not even thinking about infection etc.. If you're too injured to seek out food then you don't breed, you starve. Birds especially are not going to just stop avoiding moving animals which are larger than themselves.

You should probably read up on how population explosions affect and are affected by sudden feast/famine, removal of local predators., etc. It doesn't happen overnight, and it vacillates wildly between negative extremes for quite a long time before - hopefully things stabilize. Stuff like wolves aren't going to just show up overnight, but the deer that aren't being hunted or run over by cars or killed by wolves and other predators WILL end up over competing for their own local foodsources and end up having large die-offs due to starvation during winter, major influxes of both old and new diseases, parasite problems like you wouldn't believe leading to tons of mange (and a mangy animal doesn't survive when it gets cold), etc. The deer population in my state has been gross and sickly for ages because of the lack of natural predation or coherent population managment - you couldn't pay me to eat a deer after having seen a few up-close in the last decade.

Are you guys copy pasting these from the letters section in the comics?

To be fair it was much better than almost every episode this entire season. Being the least rotten pile of poo poo in the most recent giant pile is enough for some people to keep watching.

If the season had just been the first and last episodes with everything else condensed into one middle episode it would have been sweet. The best thing is that they've used all of the comic story arc now so the next season will be entirely plucked from from whatever crevice gave us the dump mullets.

I mean, it's a perfectly normal name to have, just kinda sucks that you gotta share a name with the flesh-eating hoard.

And I don't remember if anyone's called them walkers on this show. The only things I can remember are the Mexican groups calling them 'sombras' and Troy's group calling them 'wasteds'.

They've probably been called walkers and I just don't recall.

It is a perfectly bland, soccer-mom type name like what a Walking Dead character would be expected to have and I don't think anyone's called them walkers on FTWD, but it's still going to irrationally grate on me whenever I see him.

It' not like FTWD is too PC a show to have just given him a badass Native American name considering they've already got him demanding ancestral lands back and scalping folks.

Ophelia isn't going yet, she's the daughter and emotional crutch of the only character with any emotional depth left, Crazy Dog is the T-Dog character who dies in a needlessly heroic way saving a main character and Walker will probably be the one that goes insane but comes back and saves everyone at some point.

I think he took a selfie of him and Gabriel.

Then he abandoned Gabriel and when asked later if he wanted to carry on waiting for Gabriel he just smiled and said "Nah, this isn't about me". It got a bit confusing in that patch.

Maybe Gabriel is secretly a cagefighting badass and the plan was to get him locked in a container with Negan all along?

It's like they only shot one take of every scene and never watched any of it back until it aired. It's a shame because there was easily enough story and stuff happening to make that into an entertaining and tense episode.
