I didnt exactly hate this episode. But yeah, i agree at the "artsy, deep or both"

I don't think the "they should just stick to zombies and action because that's
all they do right" that I've seen many people say applies any more. Besides a couple of annoying quibbles, the episode itself was legitimately good TV. If only it didn't have such a terrible placement.

I love him from The 4400.
Who would he play?
EDIT:
Just read about it and I'm down with that. He was awesome in Justified and a lot of other shows.

That will be a weird transition from seeing him as the dad on Raising Hope though. But I'm ready.Agreed. He's going to make a great.Negan

If people just want action and zombie smashing, why don't they just watch that Z Nation instead?
Heck, I'd make the argument that the show has more zombie killing than the source material.

Because they want quality action and zombie smashing

I honestly don't want endless action, but they spent 3 episodes telling an exciting story and then stop all of the momentum for A Very Special Episode to tell the story of the Lawful Stupid Monk. If they had put it somewhere else it wouldn't be as annoying.

REALLY enjoyed that episode. No gore, for the most part, no mass zombie killings or lots of people dying.
Just two guys.
Easily my most favourite episode of the past few seasons. Even felt a twinge of sadness for a character I've never met before, even more than I would if a regular character died.
Just a shame it's back to normal next week.

Amazing episode, absolutely horrible placement in respect to the Glenn situation and cliff hanger.

TWD writers aren't Chaucer.
Right now someone is working up a comparison between TWD and The Canterbury Tales.

I hope they do. That will be entertaining.
Comic spoilers
they better make it work somehow because I wanna see old man Rick and the whispers really badly. Hardest part with everything would be showing the scale of how big Alexandria and the communities expand. They would need a lot of actors that's for sure.
Oh man I can't wait. Comic spoilersAgreed. He's going to make a great.Negan
it's all finally happening! Negan and all out war is just around the corner! I can't wait to see how all the non comic book readers react to this villain and story line. It's going to be non stop and insane.
Comic spoilers
after all out war and the battle against Negan it jumps two years I believe. So Rick technically isn't that old but his body gets pretty damn messed up from war.

No they're not, but the writing technique of carrying an audience to a cliffhanger and then switching perspective to a different storyline is often attributed to Chaucer.

Comics Spoilers:
Yeah, Rick really can't fight much at this point. I have a feeling if the show gets to that point, they might avoid doing that. Sorta like how they didn't have him lose his hand.
I hope we do see The Whisperers, they're such a creepy villain. Probably the best example of survivors who have completely just lost it, but have a logical survival mechanism.

Comic
Was it only 2 years? Carl goes from being a kid to a teen. I don't know how they would do it on the show given that the tv Carl is already a young teen.
Newest comic issue spoilers:
ya he definitely wouldn't be as bad as comic Rick if they got there. Comic Rick's main disadvantage is his hand and show Rick won't loose his. But if you did read the newest issue comic Rick isn't completely unable to fight because he completely got the drop on michonne when she was sneaking in the house. I feel like the upcoming issues where going to be seeing old Rick show himself a little more. Because no way does Rick stay this handicap the remainder of his time in the comic.
Comic spoilers
ya I looked it up to make sure it was only 2. And show Carl is just going to be a young adult instead if they do get to that point in the show. And I fully except them to get to that point in the comics. I can't see the show ending after all out war.

Honestly, it seems like the 6th season will be the best season of the show. These first four episodes alone are some of the series best. Not perfect by any means, but they've been pretty good. It could fall apart or something, but this is definitely the strongest start for a season, in my opinion.
Another note about Glen: its only one spot the zombies are converging on in that scene. Nicolas has to be on top of Glen. Glen must have slid under that dumpster.
And I liked this last episode. The opening to that episode all the way until he has a change of heart...we knew Morgan was nuts but not how nuts.
Just the opening before the credits even rolled I has like wtf ...

I'm guessing this will be more an "aftermath" episode. Watching alexandrians crumble (or rise up depending on who), and then next week will be back to craziness.

I wonder how long they're gonna drag this out.

There are several shots of the dumpster and in all of them, it's clearly way too small an opening to fit under. There's gotta be another way he survives.
I'm perplexed as to why Glen didn't climb over the barbed fence behind the dumpster. He could've laid his jacket
(or Nick's corpse)
Do you guys even think we'll get the Glen cliffhanger resolved this episode?
The Artisan
Member
we should. It's pretty ridiculous how they're dragging this out
Threats incoming! Things getting real tonight.

it's ridiculous how they're dragging this cliffhanger out, but i'll still probably come back to watch the show. it hasn't hit me that hard. yet.
it's similar to video games. I think sony & their policies make and do some stupid fucked up shit, but I still buy playstation.

nope, I know how the pacing is these days. I can't see this being anything other than an aftermath style episode where everyone copes with the craziness. Then I bet starting next week until the midseason finale the craziness will ramp up.
I say glenn gets resolved next week or the week after. Also it's easy for us to judge what he should have done but when you're in the situation and tunnel vision kicks in you're fucked.
