If you want to have Morgan and Carol's battling ideas you can't prove either one unequivocally wrong. You can't just make Morgan wrong all the time it has to pay off with his kind of thinking sometimes too.

Yeah no one saying fascism doesn't exist, but fascists don't come into power by going to an army base and beating all of the soldiers up. It just seems unrealistic to get into power by seemingly everyone hating you. Most dictators have fans that absolutely wanted them in power.

I truly don't understand how Negan can be likeable. I do like JDM and really want to give it a chance but the character is super lame. A bad guy but get this... he makes jokes! It might as well be Roger from Doug.

JDM isn't quite like Negan in the comic, and that's mostly for the worse. In the comic he's about twice as large, just a hugely imposing guy. He's like a cross between Babe Ruth and Al Capone, a charming lowlife with a beastly temper. I read his dialog as being quite fast-paced and less deliberate than JDM delivers it, which is the directors' fault because the show is so dour and stretched out. He also curses a blue streak. I knew a legit psychopath (he was a high-level corporate web security guy) and he was practically a carbon copy minus the violence. Same bombast and foul language, same need to dominate, same delight taken in gaslighting everyone around him.

Negan is supposed to be charasmatic in a certain way, larger than life and both terrifying and inspiring in equal measure. JDM's version just is an rear end in a top hat with a big gang. I like JDM and he's having fun but the showrunners got the character all wrong.

I don't think saying gently caress more times is going to change my opinion.

Has anyone else gave up watching? I actually pulled the plug and stopped after episode one. I felt conflicted because there really was a time it was one of my favorite shows on TV, probably up until around the time they got to Alexandria.

I didn't quit specifically because of the episode, it was more just realizing I didn't really like the characters or Negan.

The real reason he got the deal is Negan probably said I will kill all of you if you don't pay half and Ezekiel immediately said ok. You guys forget that the reason Rick got the raw end of the deal is because they took out an entire base of their guys. I get the feeling that no other community has done that or even close to that.

Yeah I think that's why I liked it so much. I started late and binged from the beginning until they got t terminus at the end of season 4 I believe? Then I started watching it in real time per episode which is when I started to lose interest. I actually really enjoyed season 2 but I watched it in the matter of a week or 2 instead of months like you would be watching live.

I've never and probably won't ever try Z Nation because when I started watching The Walking Dead I was hoping for a smart show that was dark, tense, had high stakes. I was hoping it would be about the human condition and the lengths people will and won't go to survive. Obviously I'm not gonna get it from TWD at this point but I doubt I'll get it from Z Nation either.

It started out that way with a few moments sprinkled among the seasons but ever since the Gov it feels like they are stuck on some super villain kick.

Yeah that's what I mean, season 1 and even season 2 scratched that itch pretty well. I will say I watched those seasons on Netflix so it wasn't as slow for me as someone who was watching it on tv weekly. I keep coming back I guess hoping it'll be as good as it was but I think I've come to the conclusion there's not much you can do with those themes long term.

It is absolutely stupid, it's just not been long enough for this to start to happen. Like I said before so much of the show feels like there's been a huge gap between the apocalypse and now.

And I don't see a problem with Rosita. She's frustrated and wishes she could do something. Just like Carl, but nobody's calling him whiny or whatever.

How long have you been here because people have been complaining about Carl being whiny since around midway through Season 2.

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


Question about spoilers I thought that pretty much was the deal? They kept the place safe and and forced the other people to pay for it, like the mob. Hence the name "saviors".

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.
