Phil Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 That was a boring episode, even by TWD standards. King Ezekiel is a cool character though. Interested to see how he dies lol They needed boring and happy based on what the premiere did. It was the hardest gut punch fans have taken in the history of the show. I'll really enjoyed the banter and singular focus on Carol's recovery.

And I don't really buy that it was all that happy. There were little moments but I think the theme was that, despite Ezekiel's positivity, or whatever you want to call it, their situation is just as brutal and hopeless as anyone else's since they're completely at the mercy of Negan. To me, the ridiculousness of their spears, horses, and lacrosse equipment body armor is just setting them up to get annihilated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 I was speaking colloquially. I didn't actually find it boring. I just meant that they needed an episode with a massive drop off in pace to balance out the panic the premiere set. You might be right about the a Kingdom, though. I haven't read the comics this far so I'm in the dark on this whole advancement.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You knew all the other groups that were introduced in the first half of this season were going to join together to take out the saviors That highway scene was great #MakeBSBHGreatAgain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, totally fucked that up. They needed an episode like this. The Eugene episode almost made me quit the show. Really? I loved that one, too. The ones I wanted to skip were all the ones where Rick was going to the fuckin' junkyard to fuck around with the weird cult people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The fragmented story lines are tough for me. The fact that I binged and am now caught up probably has something to do with that. Waiting a week is tough. Having to wait three weeks to get back to a story line you're enjoying is way too much. Especially when you spend an episode, as Phil mentioned, on some weird cult people who've minimized their language in-explicitly. It's a very fragile line they are walking. If you wait weeks to...I don't know, see Daryl again and his part doesn't deliver, you're cutting your audience. Every pacing tool used in an episode now feels like a waste of more time before getting back to the story one enjoys. So we get it, Michonne and Rick are a thing. Do we have to waste 10 minutes on them cuddling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn't mind the fragmented storylines this season as much as I have in the past, as it was always pretty clear where they were headed. But it does basically mean that you'll know what's going on in the last couple of episodes of the season without watching something like the first 8 which, in the grand scheme of things, amounts to "Negan and the Saviors are bad" and "there are a lot of people who want to fight them."

Phil Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Agreed. Great penultimate episode that perfectly set the stage for the extended season finale. I actually really like the last-minute play with Sasha, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really like the last-minute play with Sasha, too. I feel like somehow Eugene is going to end up taking out Negan. Like Rick somehow gets Lucile, but Negan draws a gun filled with bullets that Eugene manufactured to back fire and it explodes in his face.

Phil Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I don't think Negan dies. He's too important to go one and done. He may end up betrayed by Eugene like you said, that's plausible, but there's no way they kill him off.

Isn't that what they've done for........everything? I actually agree that Negan should die, but he's such a popular character that I bet he doesn't. My money is on a cliffhanger at the end of the season where we don't know if he dies or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
