Anybody listened to My Enemies & I? Just heard them for the first time today, someone posted it on FB. Pretty firmly in that metalcore genre, but I think they've got a pretty unique sound [video=youtube;U1-CsUItlNM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1-CsUItlNM

I think the fact that he won't get any real followers is important in Ramsey getting his comeuppance. He'll inevitably fall, but I doubt the creators are going to give him a ton of power or anything that excuses all of his evil. Not having followers, and left entirely alone, would be fitting for his end.

With the time constraints of the show, and the fact that both were pretty ancillary to begin with, they had to be quick to move the storylines forward. I thought the show did a good job to move through those events quickly, rather than drag out stories that don't have anything to do with the main plots.

Yep, felt the same way. GoT does a lot of these sort of catchup episodes, but they never seem as dull and dragged out as other shows. This was a first episode that simply sets up storylines for the rest of the way. I'd imagine that the pace will pick up a bit in episode 2, and then really pick up in 3.

a As someone who went to 5 weddings in 5 different cities and a 6th coming up later this year with a 7th that I'm not going to because it's too far, I would say keep it local for the sake of your family and friends lol

Ah, sweet. Good to know.

Do you actually watch the Pack play much? Sorry if that's rudimentary, I just don't really have much to go on other than box scores and the occasional TWeet.

Seems like Jensen has been really, really good since he got to the Pack.

Yea, fair. That does support the theory that I think most people believe in but, for all we know, the scream could just be pulled from some database.

Does it really matter who is screaming? I could see them screaming regardless of who it is.

What a crappy end to a terrible season. They literally spent the last 8 episodes - which had a ton of meh storytelling and weak narrative - building up to one particular thing. That one particular thing doesn't really happen, and won't until the premier of season 7. I don't know why they showrunners are so obsessed with cliffhangers. People will watch the show without them. It's just such weak writing. They crammed probably 2 hours of decent narrative into the entire second half of the season. It's the same crap they did with the whole prison sequence, which lasted about 8 episodes too long, Carol looking for her daughter, and basically anything that has to do with Morgan. I hate that I watch this show.

I think that's true for most every sport.

You're just getting old lol

I think it came from MX Unleashed on Playstation lol

I think this song was way more CKYish...or at least what made me think of it more than the OP. Reminds me a ton of Escape From Hellview

Maybe the first "metal" song I ever listened to...

That's a dope song, never heard of them before. Kinda sound like CKY.

Alex Nunn ‏@aj_ranger 2h2 hours ago Igor Shestyorkin finishes the VHL regular season with a league-best 1.19 GAA and .954 SV%. Both are records for a goalie > 20 starts. #NYR Good news I guess, though there's not really anything to compare him to.

That's not really that far from the truth lol

Yea but if any one of them dies, nothing in the show changes. If Rick or Carl dies, the show has to completely re-invent itself. It's been beaten over our heads that Rick is the reason that things have worked out and that his only motivation is to provide a better life for Carl. Using SOA as a comparison again...I think it would be fair to say that Opie was basically the same as Glenn, Carol, Hershel or Daryl, in terms of importance. When Opie died, the show went on and the same could be said for Dale or Hershel or whoever. But if Jax died, the show would be over. Had Abel died, Jax' course would have been completely different. If Maggie dies, Glenn will change but the story will remain the same.

To me, there are only two core characters in the series. Everyone else is moving parts. It's the same as SOA, which really only had one core character. I have read the comics, I know what Negan does.

Jessie and her family were always ancillary, she wasn't nearly as important as Diana, who is really the only character from Alexandria that matters. Them dying allows the story to move away from that arc, which wasn't really going anywhere anyways. Same as Tyrese, Hershel, Andrea, Dale, etc. In this show, characters show up, serve their thematic purpose, and then die. You can't kill off multiple "main" characters at once, but when they all come out of every situation unscathed, it means you know how every single conflict is going to end. Glenn coming out of the bottom of that pile of zombies earlier in the season ruined the show's credibility in that regard. You know that, no matter how many zombies or enemies they are facing, the core group is going to come out just fine. Killing several of them at once really serves no purpose, but killing off one would at least allow there to be a threat of danger. My guess is that, by the end of this season, 1 or 2 of them will be gone, as well as Judith (who, LOL, the showrunners have no idea how to handle). They've (Carol, Michonne, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie) developed as much as they are going to and, if you've followed the comics at all, a handful have already lived way longer than they should have. The story is really only about 2 people...

It was action we've seen over and over again in this series. We know that they aren't going to kill off any major characters, so there's really nothing to worry about. I don't buy that it was all action either. It was people standing around punctuated by explosions, basically. There was no action that lead to the deaths, there was nothing that built up to Daryl doing the things he did....they just happened. The governor attack was better because there were 2 threats, there was chaos. This was just them hacking zombies. Even the mid-season finale when the Wolves attacked was way better in that regard.

No. That was the review and it just made me laugh. But I did think the episode was boring. It was good in that it got rid of some of the characters who have no story arc.

Well I guess they nailed the shock value thing, but I thought it was one of the worst episodes of TWD. This review cracked me up :rofl:
