The Walking Dead

What a BOMB opening to the rest of the season. So glad certain people are gone and that at least one bit about the comics happened

Spoiler: spoiler

Carl getting shot in the eye, although wtf was up with them killing Negan right off the bat? He's like the most villainous villain of all villains in that series. My husband mentioned that maybe he wasn't the real Negan but someone pretending to be him. I'm hoping that's the case.

 

That wasn't Negan, nor was it someone pretending to be him. That was just some guy who works for Negan.

Spoiler: Negan's actor

Negan is going to be played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Loved the episode. Definitely one of the best, if not the best. I'd have to watch the Terminus ep again to decide which I think is better.

 

Terminus was pretty B.A. I think my favorite episode of the entire show is the very first one where Rick wakes up in the hospital. Anyway, I'm pretty stoked about where this season is heading. And that they were able to save their town.

 

This was me watching that one scene that happened at night. You know what one I'm talking about.

Although, half the time when I hear of Rick's zombie plans I can't help but think to myself, "Yeah if you did literally anything other than that plan of Rick's you would be better off.

 

Where are you getting these spoilers?! I'd like to know too.

 

What do you mean? Everything discussed here is from the latest eps and the actor of Negan was announced a while back. If you mean how to use spoiler tags they're under "go advanced."

 

I am so loving the new season of walking dead, it really needed a sense of hope instead of the continuous loss and destruction. One thing that always really irked me is they have no sense of fortifications and defense. Maybe this is just too many RTS, FPS games but come on. They leave all those trees, houses, cars and everything right up against the wall. I makes much more sense to remove everything that can be used as cover. Clear the trees for half a mile around and use the wood to fortify, same with the cars and all the buildings.

 

I maintain that the best plan is to listen to Rick and then not do whatever he suggested and do something totally different.

 

For the record, I REALLY hate this season with a passion. Fiery, hellish, putrid hatred of burning filth. Whatever happened to the zombies? Whatever happened to the world having ENDED? Now the show is about who's hooking up with who, people thinking they're bad ass when they're not and putting everyone in danger, and the zombies are an inconvenience: in the middle of conversation? Just stab that zombie in the head and continue arguing with your friend. Hope is for sissies. This is the zombie apocalypse! Come on, man!

Not exciting. Dwight is a moron. Where the hell is Negan? Don't tell me they're ruining everything by keeping Negan from us! I'm so livid!! RAWR!!

And if anyone in the Atlanta group dies, I'm done with the show. This is what I get for reading the comics first. I'm totally spoiled. Honestly, I detest that the show is freaking GOT with all this BS relationship drama when I want blood, gore, to be AFRAID and want the lights on like in seasons 1-4! WHY?!?!?!?!

--End rant

 

Heh, and this is my favourite one so far I love the Alexandria stuff. It was my favourite part of s5 (besides the opening ep which was fantastic) and now I've got a full season of it

 

Wow. Holy shit was episode 1 of the new season worse than what I was expecting. UGH.

 

But...here's one of the few times I defend this awesome show---it happened the same way in the comics (except for Red, he doesn't go down like that). So in a way, they stayed close to the OG script. Neegan is ALL about shock value. How else does he get to live for free?

 

He always seemed brutal to me but you're right, now that I think about it, he didn't use what he did as a way to get off.

 

Reaver, I agree 100%. I've basically lost interest at this point. It's never about the zombies anymore and that's the whole hook. I don't think I'll be watching anymore. Interesting that Glenn's death was also the cut off point for me with the comics.
