AMC's The Walking Dead

[50%grey]

Im kind of stuck with this show till the end since I've already wasted so much time on it.

They had a funny moment tonight with that guy getting blown up by the rocket launcher hah

A crazy amount of lazy writing going on too.

It took me 4 episodes into this season to see what was happening. For the current episode 5, Gregory's over acting was just so out of place. I actually like JDM in the last episode because he was more nuanced in moments. Having him hamming it up all episode gets tiresome. I still feel he's just too underweight for Negan. His leather jacket looks so loose on his arms.

A crazy amount of filler in this series.

And some of the character decisions/logic in the final few episodes was beyond parody. Such a shame, was hoping this season would get back on track.

It was ok, there were several scenes where I just wanted to turn the TV off, it's become a tad sappy, and boring.

I guess I'm have to get started on watching Game of Thrones like everybody else and there Grandma.

What I don't get is that it makes a lot of money for AMC but the production value looks second rate. Case in point was Rick at the garbage people location. That CGI was woeful.

What they have is too many characters and I get why they do it. So they can build them up in filler episodes and kill them when they serve their purpose. They are not going to kill merchandise sellers like Daryl. This season was largely filler until it reached where there is a change of power. It was staging to build to this finale.

I really want someone to scream Shivakamini Somakandarkram!, when Shiva goes on a tear identifying who the Saviours and the garbage people are. On a slightly serious note I think the problem is the showrunner, Scott Gimple. It has been all downhill since he took the reigns.

I feel like last night's episode was composed to the Benny Hill theme.

I have no idea what's going on with this show anymore, it's just losing me completely.

[MLaw]

I've quite enjoyed it. Lots of tension and character acting. This has been one of my favorite seasons to date.

[Dri]

A half/whole season of nothing. Been hate watching for a while and the best part is that they dedicated the episode to Bernie Wrightson.

After the season premiere the resin sculpture of Negan that I was eyeing for some time has skyrocketed in price after being sold out.

I'm not really a Negan fan but that sculpture produced by McFarlane toys is gorgeous. The leather texture of the jacket and the paint apps really set the sculpture apart from the other pop culture sculpts out on the market.

I have seen it next to Gentle Giant's Daryl with Wolves but couldn't justify spending $700 on it. If the sculpture was based on JDM it would lose it's impact because now he's looking much thinner. If he was in the shape he was when he played the Comedian then he would look more like the comic book version Negan and be far more imposing.

i was talking about the other scene.

[Inkthinker]

Well, except the inclusion of Abraham. Which they did mostly to fake you out for Glenn.

[golgotha]

that was word for word a scene from the comic.

[Dri]

People guessed right. Brutal.

[KRAZYRICKY1]

wow just wow thats all
