TWD Season 7

[Zaximus]

Negan is cracking me up though.   I'd much rather have an episode about Negan than Rick bumbling out lines and making me fall asleep.

This show has always been about dragging on, IDK why everyone thinks it's any different now.   They have 16 episodes a year to fill up.

It was beautiful.

Quite possibly my favorite episode of this season, aside from the first, maybe.

This was a mixed bag.  I love Jeffery Dean Morgan.  He really brings the whole Negan to life in such a horrifically disgusting and evil way (love it!).  But when he picked up Judith, it made me want to vomit.  Now he really needs to be taken out.  He has both Carl and Rick's heart there bouncing on his knee.  

I am really disappointed in the Alexandrian's as a whole right now.  Michonne and Rosita with their suicidal plans to try to take out Negan.  Carl's horrible failure.  Negan and the Saviors keep getting stronger (presumably - Carl and Daryl will go Native for a bit but come back to Rick and Alexandria when they need to), while no one else has the guts to start an effective plan.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things move with the guy from the Kingdom who wants to rebel.  Will someone finally do some research?  Maybe just SCOUT the Saviors....just a little bit!

Might as well get used to the dudes being pussies and the women being the bad asses.

Am I the only one who thinks Michonne's whistling at the beginning of the episode was an Easter egg/tribute to Omar Little from The Wire? This show has had three actor from The Wire.

I'm treating these last 2 episodes like my last couple of rounds of an online fantasy football draft and do auto draft. 

Someone fill me in Sunday nite por favor.

Meh... for me, this season is far more about psychological terror and how physical threats have taken a back seat.  Negan is interesting because of how he understands people as a mass and how to control them to his own ends.

I am surprised that no one has brought up the Jesus bits yet.  He is positioned to become a lot more important in all of this.

Once old characters start dying, characters like Jesus will have more room to grow.

Yeah, Glenn and Abrahams deaths opened up everything.

opened it up for Negan and Carl to be main characters.  TV needs to be self aware they aren't the comic. 

At this point, TV world has Negan and Carl as 2 of the characters they wish would be knocked off the quickest.....and the comic most likely is the polar opposite. 

Only a matter of time before TV has to go the Andrea way of things and course correct for TV

Negan and Carl have both gotten more screen time during this half-season than either of them did through the same stretch of the comics.

Once again, you're just asking for more of the same things you're complaining about.

Also, Dale was the OG course correction.

No, at this point in the comics, you're supposed to hate Negan for all of the reasons everyone hates Negan. In the comics, Negan is actually much more annoying to the reader at this relative point. Jeez. He has zero redeeming values like they've given him on the show. He's twice the psychopath, twice the brute, twice the middle school bully in the comics. The show has given him a charisma that the real Negan emphatically lacks.

TV characters require more depth than comic characters in most cases I've seen over the years. I think that those changes probably neutered the Governor from what I hear, but I'm hopeful they make Negan more interesting.

I did enjoy Negans apologizing in the last episode, because it was so ambiguous. I was sure all the time he was talking to Olivia he was getting ready to swing Lucille...

And once I got over the "what is this" I enjoyed the Tara episode even though I totally forgot about whats his name - but her learning about her g/f death was like a big meh by this point.

They really fail to do this in a bad way and just end up irritating viewers even more. If they only had 12 episodes a season to cover the same amount of material, that would solve everything. And TV characters do not require more depth than comic characters. They actually require less. Much, much less. In very rare circumstances do TV characters actually reach any true depth of character. Professional wrestling has more complex characters than most TV shows.

Most of Negan's scenes this episode were ripped directly from the comics.

There was nothing wrong with Tara's episode, especially compared to the entirety of season 2.
