TWD Season 7

Recommended Posts

Haven't seen a season 7 only topic yet. 

Will just leave you with this.

"That's not how it works! 
Now, I already told you people...
First one's free, then what did I say? I said, I will shut that s**t down!
No exceptions.

Now I don't know what kind of lying assholes you been dealing with, but I'm a man of my word. 
First impressions are important. 
I need you to know me.
So.....
Back to it!"

Maybe this thread will be less about showing off =P

As I said in the other thread, I was very upset watching the first one (mostly from the stuff with Rick and Carl, I put myself in there, and man, that made me feel sick).  But that was actually very good writing, acting, and direction.

So, my what's interesting to me is how they are going to deal with the Saviors.  I figure we'll get several episodes where Alexandria completely cow-tows to Negan and the Saviors. But the Kingdom...dude has a tiger, I don't think he puts up with that kind of poo...  I figure that Daryl will take on the role of Carl from the comics (don't hate, I did some spoiling), and do those things after he has some time to do some stuff.  

Who do you think dies next from the main group?  I figure that Rick is going to recover a bit, and push back on the bars a little.  Who will Negan kill next?  I think the Kingdom is going to help foster Rick's revolution through Morgan (who will have to kill someone, you know this), and Carol will fall back into her hardcore psycho killer mode.  Is it bad that I enjoy that from her?

Lost in all this hubris is the amazing job Andrew Lincoln and Jeffery Dean Morgan did. That's probably what I'm mad about. They both turned in award worthy performances under very tough circumstances, but everyone wants to cry about the amount of violence and string pulling in a show full of violence and string pulling. And it's only the people that are unfamiliar with the source material that are acting like twats.

Oh, Ezekiel is a big teddy bear. He only has a tiger because he used to train them or something.

THIS!  I kept putting myself in Ricks shoes...  I once even thought of myself as Carl and wondering what my own father would do.  I had some serious gut wrenching moments watching this part of the show.  I had the first death tagged after the finale,  As the slugging experience developed we all knew who was next.  

I miss binge watching this show sometimes.  That being said I do really like the wait from week to week.  There is time to process and gather a thoughts on what has happened.  It's also a huge upper for as Sunday afternoon's haven't went that well as of late.

It was easier to binge the earlier seasons I think.  After terminus, things have gotten really intense, and I really just need that time to process.  If TWD is going to continue to push this hard, I will definitely need that time!

my assumption was the Kingdom was going to be basically like Hilltop.  Already making payments to Negan.  Hilltop has always implied from the beginning the world was much bigger than Rick was aware of.  So assume any group the Hilltop deals with likely is already caught up w/ Negan.

Indeed.  I have no idea.  I do know that all the preview shots of it look totally badass...  I'll hold on to that dream before they crush it =)

I truly don't get people complaining about violence on this show... that's what it's based on, and to me, it really wasn't that violent... some gore yes, but they could have made it way, way worse.  I thought they held back frankly.

The part about Negan making Rick cut off Carl's arm was sickening to think about in a "real world" sense, but even had he made him actually do it, it wouldn't have been that bad for the show.

I haven't heard that many really complain about violence.  Past year or so most of the bashing is on the increase of gimmicks and the apparent need to throw off comic readers.

I'm a weird way, Negan reminded me of The Dark Knights Joker.

Joker: "And I thought my jokes were bad"

Negan: "Oh come on, was the joke that bad"

Joker "People will die tonight, I am a man of my word"

Negan: "I told you someone had to die, and I'm a man of my word".

Joker "I don't want to kill you, what would I do without you?"

Negan didn't say that, but did stop a lot of walker from killing Rick during the RV scene.

The comment "make sure to point your guns level to there nose so it makes a big mess *spssh blasting sound*".

Okay, so I am a little late to the party.  I just finally watched the episode (when you work 6am-8pm M-F you watch stuff on tape delay).

I honestly was not a major fan of the episode.  To be truthful, I found Negan to be annoying more than anything.  In the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a comic reader and my opinion of the show was severely tarnished recently due to multiple things, the dumpster and the cliffhanger being the two most glaring.  Watching it sometimes feels like a chore the way Dexter did in the end or Homeland does right now.  I use to love it and I see the potential, but the showrunners have bumbled so many opportunities that I not longer trust them.  So I admit, I probably have some negative bias going on (although I also think comic readers may have bias because of how much they love Negan from the comics, but I digress).

I tihnk that the death scene(s) would have had a much greater impact if shown last season (or if shown as an Abe last year, Glenn the this year surprise sort of thing).

I will say that the best part of the episode by far was Lincoln's acting.  His performance on top of the RV, as well as during the Carl scene were both top notch.  It would have been a lot tougher had I any care for Carl whatsoever, sadly Chandler Riggs is not believable as a person.  Still, he was excellent.

I really hope though that we do not have to wait until the middle of the second half for things to get going again though.  They have to stop drawing things out as long as possible.  I wish this thing was on HBO, of course I wish everything I watch was on HBO.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
