That's worse than saying T-Dog.

Why? Then say T-Dog. Whatever. I didn't start watching this show till season 4 but this complaint has merit imo

 

[hokahey]

I straight up thought Negan was the guy on the bike who stopped them and all, NOPE.

I'm in a quandry do I read the comics or not? I have read book 1.

I personally think the comic blows the show away. The show is Walking Dead Lite. The comic...jesus. I could not love it more. I think I only watch the show to see how the different comic arcs will play out on screen.

What is the complaint? I think people are just joking about him not mentioning t-dog, it's kind of a walking dead meme.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

And someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't a lot more people using dvr to watch the show? That takes a decent chunk away cause most people don't wanna sit through commercials. Plus it was Valentine's Day coming off an average midseason finale. I see no reason for AMC to worry.

Yeah, although the show is still down a bit when compared to the dvr ratings from last season. Not that this is something to worry about, mind. The Walking Dead's perpetual upward trajectory has been an anomaly in the TV world - a little ratings erosion, especially after 6 years, is to be expected.

As people who made who he is today if you're going to include T-Dog. Yeah, guy lasted until season 3, but he didn't do much.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

It's not the first time they gave tdog the shaft. Remember Andrea finding the prison and only asking about Shane ?

 

[Mad Season]

So some redditors spotted a car drive up in the background of the motorcycle gang just before daryl does the bazooka thing:

Someone's gonna know that Daryl's responsible for killing those men....

That's reaching

Consensus on this episode? I thought it was one of the best TWD episodes to date. Shit kept me in suspense throughout the whole episode. Glenn's plot armor has become unbearable though.

It was a perfectly fine episode if you turned your brain off while watching it and weren't expecting much in the way of quality acting.

Michael Ausiello is hyping this Sunday's Walking Dead:

Watch Sunday’s Walking Dead live. Or climb under a soundproof, wifi-less rock until you do. Trust me.

Sounds like something major goes down :O

Wow. Any guesses?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

The preview of Sundays episode certainly appeared to be a bit more 'actiony' than I thought it would be, thought it would be all contemplative and soul searching.

Rick and Darryl look like they're on a mission!

 

[Majestad]

Wow. Any guesses?

Rick to start seeing Ghost Jessie appearances.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Rick going out to face off against the walkers was a fantastic moment. It was the culmination of all his madness/ricktatorship moments bubbling over and giving him this crazy sense of purpose.

How many did he take out with just a short Axe?

I feel like someone is always hyping the eps before they air lol

 

[silva1991]

Well this episode escalated quickly.

it's funny how Carl didn't freak out when he got shot like a normal being, but instead he was like: I think I got shot or something.

 

[Surfinn]

Rick to start seeing Ghost Jessie appearances.

Nahhhh she wasn't that important. Glad it's over too. Hopefully they can start to write characters we actually give a damn about..

 

[Ultra Numb]

I preferred it. They didn't do the whole cliche as he screams dramatically thing which is fine because not all people react the same. It was silent, quick and unconscious in moments. I'm glad they ripped it straight from the comics.

 

[Majestad]

Nahhhh she wasn't that important. Glad it's over too. Hopefully they can start to write characters we actually give a damn about..

I kinda liked her. Easy on the yes, but more importantly, she wasn't a dumbass and seemed fairly "loyal" to Rick. Her death was due to the circumstances, and not by a dumb mistake.

 

[Faith]

Check liveleak.com

You would be surprised how people react when they loose bodyparts or parts of their head.

Ausiello is legit tho

(interesting that the blade has that green screen stuff on it)

“This is one of our tattoo colors that we use when we’re adding dirt and blood and wounds to zombies. There is a very distinct difference between vibrant oxygenated human blood and dead brown, rust-colored dried zombie blood,” notes Nicotero, who had been a pre-Med student in college.

Used for CGI?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

From all my years reading Ausiello, there's nothing that gets him more excited than either someone big dying or character shipping. I'm expecting someone to get suddenly killed before the end or for Rick/Michonne to hook up or Daryl/Carol hooking up (again) or a couple I'm not even thinking of.

Again? I think I would remember that sir!

lol yeah totally forgot it never really happened. Alright then it's definitely that or Richonne becoming a thing. Or someone is dying like Morgan or something.

I been reading this guys hype about 100 different TV shows for years.

I remember back in the day having the Daryl/Carol hopes, but that kinda died for me long ago :/

Rick/Michonne hooking up makes sense now with the blonde dead.

too good to be true but I'd love it. They've always had a good bond.

they haven't interacted a ton with eachother lately. Hopefully we get something in this back half. Maybe sunday

 

[LycanXIII]

Maybe Daryl can bring Carol to her senses. She's gone from one extreme to the other.

I've always wanted them to be together...Daryl/Carol too. Too be fair Daryl has been out in the woods since the first half of season six. He's back in black now and is ready to plow...

 

[Tabris]

Hmm. I wonder how they are going to handle the following this season:

Major comic spoilers:

Spoiler

In the comic, the Saviours weren't known until Rick visits Hilltop with Jesus. And there wouldn't have been an issue until Carl questions the Hilltop situation with Saviours and then Rick offers to protect instead. Carl essentially starts the war with the Saviours, one of my favourite pieces of dialogue from the comic.

Also Glenn and Carl never seem to have any dialogue in tv show together. So I hope they add some scenes between Glenn and Carl before Glenn gets Lucille'd so it makes sense why Carl will go after Negan in the most badass Carl moment ever. I guess that's a Season 7 situation.

That whole subplot will probably be rewritten to fit with Carl's older age in the show. It'll definitely happen in some capacity though, Gimple has he really likes the Negan/Carl stuff and can't wait to he gets there.

His reasoning for going after the Saviours may be different though. Perhaps Judith is killed?

That would be out of sync with what Negan is about though. He's evil as fuck but does have a code. With the whole no rape and I assume no children thing.

I always thought Negan is for anything except rape. I don't think he has a problem with killing children. He included Carl and Sophia in the "eeny meeny miny moe" game.

[Ultra Numb]

Still impressive as ever. With DVR becoming more and more popular, L+3 numbers are becoming increasingly relevant.

OH SHIT

Is that from next week's preview?

It's from the "Bite, chew, swallow, repeat" line.

I'm blanking here - what episode was that from?

It's from the last episode number 9. After Daryl blows up Negan's guys Abraham says it.

Oh, right. Why did he say that?

 

[LycanXIII]

Oh, right. Why did he say that?

Biker guy said "If you've got to eat shit, don't nibble on it. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat."

Daryl blew them up.

Abraham replied with "Nibble on that."
