Yeah can they just have this guy permanently directIt's the first episode that made me feel something in a long awhile. Get that director back.

God this show is so fucking dumb.
A handful of walkers that you can poke your finger through can overpower a 500-700 pound Tiger. Right. One swipe and they'd have literally been torn in half with how squishy the show portrays them.
I liked the episode... but showing Shiva get mauled like that was depressing and crazy. She should've overpowered them easily.

I remember there being WAY more walkers.To be fair, that's literally how it happens in the comics too.
i would imagine the shows ham and cheese budget can't afford him for many episodes.That was the first great episode of the season. Hopefully they keep it up.
(But the fact that the "all out war" with Negan started and we haven't seen him for 5 episodes is ridiculous.)

I'd say the only real negative was the horribly cast Negan baddie. God he was terrible.
Sucks that the tiger died, but really it just ate budget. They didn't do a single interesting thing with it, best to drop it here in the service of totally knocking Ezekiel to rock bottom. He got hit super hard and I really felt bad for him, something the show rarely makes me do these days.
Yeah, the other battles made more sense and were better directed. But I guess if they have to drag this out for 8 episodes, it is what it is.My brother and I watched the season 6 outpost massacre again, and the action felt distinctly more gritty and better handled than anything we've saw in the S7 finale and this season. I wonder who handled the action in that episode, or the season 5 premiere or the Wolves attack, because those segments are a far cry from what we get now
Probably the same reason why most people kept watching Lost. You just want to see how everything ends.
Wow this show is so bad. Let's stop for 5 minutes for dialog while the walkers who were right on our ass make no progress toward us. Let's have an axe cut a man from skull to mid-sternum, through a fuck-ton of bone, and then that same axe can't cut a chain. Let's have Carol shoot about 80 zombies in the head through a chain link fence. Let's have a 50 cal not completely fuck up a jeep, or even when we have the radiator blown the jeep continues to run perfectly fine.
Just... ugh. There's no scene consistency. It's so fucking bad.
I'm in the same boat. I keep watching it and keep complaining about how bad the show is. I guess I just want to see how everything ends
I'm so glad you brought this up. This shit was pissing me off the whole way through. I really really want to like this show again. I thought the second half of season 7 was headed in the right direction. We had a strong opening this season. But since then it's been nothing but people shooting things for 40 minutes. And I really hate to be the cynical viewer that's shits all over the show, but god damn guys. Don't make it so easy for me. Ezekiel and his army would have been cut to ribbons. Some of them were. Creepy 70s weirdo guy comes out of nowhere to taunt Ezekiel, axe man cuts him clean in half, but can't cut through a rusted out chain. Rick chases down 50 cal and the gun doesn't do shit to his Jeep? Just a little smoke coming out of it. No big deal. Cartoon tiger shows up at a super convenient time. Also fuck Daryl. When are they gonna do anything remotely interesting with his character? He's just action man. No feelings, no personality. Nothing. My brother refers to him as a bow with a guy on it. That's exactly what he is. I only just caught up on the past 3 episodes today and Jesus, what a bunch of morons our heroes are. I'm sure it'll follow the formula. First 8 episodes are dragged out shit fests, then the next 8 is where things actually happen.Wow this show is so bad.

i don't care about stuff like this, realism isn't what makes film or television entertaining [unless the premise of the art is all about realism, but this is a fucking show about zombies breh].
The transition from comic to big screen has been really really lame, IMO. I think he would work a lot better without the drama/theater accent and just had everything else.. maybe people just call him King Ezekiel? I dunno. It could have been done better but in all honesty it's kinda hard to tell because it worked so well in the comic.I hate Ezekiel so freaking much. I think I hate all of the characters actually, but Ezekiel especially. Cant stand his goofy ass gimmick.
He was a terrible actor and those gigantic glasses certainly didn't help.
They have to all be evil asshole jerks. If they weren't it would be obvious that Rick is worse than they are.The transition from comic to big screen has been really really lame, IMO.

However, the guy who plays him is fantastic and really delivers his lines well when he's talking to Carol/letting his guard down.
I just don't understand TWD casting sometimes. I really don't get it. Also, I'd like to see a few guys who actually resemble REAL PEOPLE in the Saviors. It's absurd that 99% of the people they come across are evil assholes pushing the same tired schtick.
See this is where I think the show messes up. Rick made a cold, calculated decision to strike first, but he didn't do it because he wanted to be god emperor Negan. He did it as a precaution.. because he saw how dangerous they could be, saw the pictures of skulls being bashed in. He doesn't have a lust for blood or pain/suffering.They have to all be evil asshole jerks. If they weren't it would be obvious that Rick is worse than they are.
Feels like Rick is gonna go after Daryll right after he is done with Negan
I think it was the season finale last season, when they're all fighting Negan in Alexandria. Maggie and The Hilltop show up to help fight the Saviors, and Negan's surprised to see her. It's been a while though, so I might be wrong.Someone help jog my memory here -- at what point did Negan learn that Maggie was alive? I don't recall that happening.
It's weird to me that he is demanding that she be kept alive and captured if possible. She's not the leader of Hilltop......as far as Negan knows she doesn't have any kind of strategic value.I think it was the season finale last season, when they're all fighting Negan in Alexandria.

no way man, Rick and Daryl are brothers. They're just foreshadowing an act of mercy on Rick's side but Daryl will always be his dude.I do think he's over Daryl's shit. He didn't even smile at Daryl's dumb, completely inappropriate "you look like shit" joke.
I think the premier was a flash forward/dream sequence combined. The Jesus Rick was the dream sequence and the flash forward being him somewhere clearly distressed and shook AF. That's probably when he's dreaming of this.I just got caught up with this new season, what is even going on anymore. I saw like three different Ricks, that Rick with beard and grey hair looked dope.-
It looked to me like it was literally Rick with a fake grey beard, lol.I just got caught up with this new season, what is even going on anymore. I saw like three different Ricks, that Rick with beard and grey hair looked dope.-

He didn't look any older though.. like at all. How much time passes again? In the comic, he looks WAY more weatheredit didn't look fake to me, I think the actor is capable of growing such a beard, I think it was dyed though, not real grey hairs.

Finally all caught up on TWD, and man, it's so jarring when coming right off of Fear the Walking Dead. I know we're talking about shows with zombies, but Fear seems so much more grounded and believable, while the original show has... well, Ezekiel and Shiva, for one.
Don't get me wrong: I am enjoying this season so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes in relation to the comics. But at nearly every point, I've been asking myself, "How are these two shows set in the same world?"
