Luvcow posted:I was hoping for more of a diarrhea storyline, maybe a riot starts over people hoarding toilet paper I saw an anime series about a bunch of girls crewing a battleship. One episode was about them running out of toilet paper because they had only brought on board enough toilet paper for toilet purposes and the girls were using it for other stuff. So it's been done.

On one hand I want it to be brutal to stay true to the comic, but on the other I could do without TV shows having a preoccupation with having characters heads smashed in. I don't think you need to spoil that. I think even people completely unaware of the comics will have assumed that somebody got their head smashed in based on the season finale

There's no reason walker meat would be any more dangerous than regular human meat at the same state of decomposition. By now there really should be a new strain of vulture behavior. Aggressive vultures that take chunks out of zombies while they're still moving.

A couple of guys die one day, who knows why. Plenty of people ate meat and didn't get sick. As coyo7e said, it was probably a gently caress you not an attempted poisoning, and, once again, if the food you give the Saviours makes them sick, I don't think they're gonna be happy about that. I think they'll bash someones' brain in or make you Abraham and Isaac a kid

yeah I eat rear end posted:I wouldn't mind something like that. I think a "everybody dies" with no hope for the rest of the world ending would just piss everyone off. I think them finding a real safe zone, not Alexandria v2.1, something like the one in 28 Weeks Later (before the kids gently caress it up) is kind of the only satisfying way to do it. Maybe have the main group minus Judith have to sacrifice themselves to pass on the "cure" information like I Am Legend did in the movie. I wouldn't mind a time-skip epilogue. Title card comes up, "50 years later", you see an Alexandria that's grown a lot, somebody makes a comment about not having seen a walker in a long time, etc. MeLKoR posted:From what we saw the new generation of imune children will do pretty well just feasting on wild pigs. Seriously, pigs are loving vicious, in 10 years time you couldn't shake a stick without hitting a pig. There's a book called Earth Abides that deals with that really well. A couple years after the apocalypse all the survivors are eating venison because there are deer everywhere. The year after that, nobody goes far from home without a gun, because there are mountain lions everywhere. The year after that, nobody leaves their house without a gun because the mountain lions ate most of the deer and now the mountain lions are starving. A few years later things have balanced out.

This was handled better in the comics. Mild spoilers from the comics that should be obvious given the Maggie's grave trick: Rick is planning to fight back. He acted like he was beat to make everyone in Alexandria think he was so nobody would give it away accidentally during Negan's visit. He explains that to all of them right after, because the Alexandrians were about to mutiny. But for some reason the show is putting that off. I guess so it can be a big twist later on in the season?

MeLKoR posted:That doesn't invalidate the "keeping a fake record and secret stash of weapons" or "hide most of the medicine" or why none of those people that he didn't let in on the plan blast Negan away. It's been awhile since I read the comics, but I'm pretty sure they did keep a secret stash. And Rick had a harder time keeping the Alexandrians under control.

Even if you haven't read the comics, it should be obvious from the fact taht they're hiding Maggie that Rick has a plan, and probably a secret stash of weapons wherever Maggie is. It's just super dumb that they didn't reveal that at the end of this episode. Because this show is terrible, they're probably going to do a whole episode of "people are mad at Rick for rolling over for Negan, oh no what's gonna happen" and then reveal the secret plan at the end of that episode.

Filthy Hans posted:Abraham jilting Rosita was just another example of a character's hopes and plans being dashed. The central theme of TWD is despair, no one can be happy, no one's plans are sustainable, there's no hope in the zombie wasteland. If they wanted to be literate someone on the show could quote Robert Burns: "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft a-gley, and leave us not but grief and pain for promised joy." Not a single character is smart enough to know something like that, though, and the writers are hacks anyway. Because of the sunk cost fallacy I don't think anything could actually make me stop watching this show at this point. But a character saying something had "gang aft a-gley" might

Ehud posted:I kind of miss flashback episodes. Maybe we could get one about Negan before the outbreak and it's just about him being the star player for his company softball team and in one of the scenes he's walking to the on deck circle and one of his teammates says, "Negan! Negan! You forgot Lucille." and then he hands Negan his bat and Negan winks at the camera. Oh god don't give them ideas. You know if AMC thought they could get away with it they'd do a whole season set before the outbreak just to save money on sets and makeup

Binary Logic posted:Glad I'm not the only one bumpuzzled by this. Basically she doesn't want to be crazy murder Carol, but she recognizes that in order to stay alive and keep her friends safe, she needs to be crazy murder carol. Therefore, the only way to not be the person she doesn't want to be, she has to cut herself from others and go off to die alone. But she also naturally wants to stay alive and keep connecting with others. So that's her deal, she's vacillating between her desire to survive and her desire to not be the person she has to be to survive.

If Negan showed up at Alexandria 3 days after he took Daryl, Daryl broke down a hell of a lot faster than three days. Dude lasted like, 12 hours before he started eating dog food.

Ego-bot posted:My favourite part of this episode was Carl loving up one of their few remaining cars to kill a single zombie. There are thousands and thousands of remaining cars. There are vast parking lots full of cars. The only cars they should bother actually trying to preserve are those that have been converted to run on vegetable oil. Those will be useful for years after the gas runs out/goes bad. You're right about bikes, they should be using bikes. Quiet, easy to repair on the side of the road, uses no gas, bikes are ideal for their situation.

Blazing Ownager posted:I just re-watched this episode with some people who wanted to see it and what really annoyed me this time is Carl trashing the utter gently caress out of a working car to kill one zombie that they could have just walked away from, or gotten out and stabbed. Cars are not rare. There are so many goddamn cars. There are millions and millions of cars. There are vast parking lots where cars are sent before being distributed to dealerships. Brand new cars just sitting there, in the hundreds. Hell, the pilot episode has Rick riding a horse past thousands and thousands of perfectly good cars on the freeway I cannot stress how plentiful cars are in the Walking Dead universe

Optimus_Rhyme posted:my wife had a question goons: Where are they getting all their gasoline? Like, there were a lot of trucks there plus cars etc. At what point do they just run out of useable gasoline? It doesn't look like they're scavenging any of it. Like Fitzy said, gas would be bad by now. But setting that aside, gas would be pretty easy for them to get in the quantities they need. They don't go very far from home, it seems like they just drive to a close by neighborhood, park, and then scout around on foot. They could be good for a long time just siphoning tanks from cars on the side of the road. I don't know how easy it is to bypass whatever security is in place to stop people from siphoning off the gas at a gas station's underground tanks, but once they did they'd be set for months off one station.

Lycus posted:How many communities in the area did Aaron fail to find? At least this time they explained that it was really far out. A two week journey from Alexandria. I can believe that that's outside of Aaron's regular range. galenanorth posted:They could have skipped all the Mexican-standoff-without-a-gun scenes and just fully explained the backstory of the village at the dinner table, if they needed exposition. Also, all the long scenes like the opening where they called a walker a "bobber" were twice as long as they needed to be. All the dialog concerning the woman that "betrayed" the community to help Tara was really repetitive. It's not that there's "too much character development"; it's that it's redundant character development. 80% of "you'd better not tell the community" could have been canned and we'd have gotten the point. This episode could have been half of its length. The only the scenes that didn't need editing for time were the ones with Heath and Tara or at the bridge. Absolutely. The entire bit with Tara sneaking around the village was pointless. We didn't learn anything about the village that wasn't shown at another point in the episode
