4merper4mer Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I get frustrated with some of the writing and "cliffhangers" too. But I still love the show overall and will always watch. Any show has boring or perceived meaningless episodes from time to time. The thing that keeps me coming back can be individual story lines or individual characters even if I'm frustrated at times with the overall direction. Carol/Morgan in this season has been one of my favorites for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Guess it depends on your definition of stupid cliffhanger. I don't think there's any doubt at this point that the Savior storyline is going into next season, so there's going to be a cliffhanger of some kind. But it doesn't have to be a stupid cliffhanger. For example: next season is the war against the Saviors, obviously. So any cliffhanger that ends this season trying to make the viewer wonder "Is there going to be a war?" is !@#$ing stupid. It's just the sort of amateur bull **** that Gimple has tried already. He's got the narrative sense of a potted plant. True, but sometimes the worst impression are the funniest. Search YouTube for his John Malkovich impression. It's spooky accurate. (And while we're on the subject, look for Simon Helberg's (from Big Bang Theory) impression of Robin Williams on Conan. Absolutely spot-on.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're more impressive than funny though - you should see Trey Parker's impression of John Travolta from South Park if you want to see a funny impression. In fact, they do a good one of Stallone, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'd imagine that the season finale will mirror the mid-season finale where Spencer and the food pantry lady were killed. Thanks to Sasha, Negan shows up looking to rattle a few cages again, but this time they fight back, probably with some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything close to what we saw last season, I'm done. Even if it's good I might just sign out. This season was too painful to watch. I can literally count the good scenes on one hand.

Thanks to Sasha, Negan shows up looking to rattle a few cages again, but this time they fight back, probably with some help. That looks about right. The cowardly mullet switch sided. I wanted him to keep a pair, but I see that he never had any to begin with. Sasha wanted a weapon and not some pills to "do the job". No one injured or killed on the Oceanside raid which was good in a way. Gregory thought he grew a pair then didn't. Who was the little birdie Negan spoke of? Gregory? I doubt it was Dr Smartypants as he was taken before Rick regrew his pair. Previews show the Kingdom ready to fight could be that they and the scavenger show up as and Negan touts his hostage trophy Sasha. Then there's Dwight. On your knees. Dwight for Captain Scaredy Pants. I think if he's true to his turnabout Rick got the better end of the bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she first met Rick it was "We own your lives, want to buy them back"? That was very Savior like. Maybe they already knew, or were under the thumb of the Saviors and she spilled to Negan?

ricojes Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Interesting episode, lot's to think about. Sasha's only focus is to take out Negan, pretending to cry to Eugene. Might have been surprised by the pill, but that will be her weapon to take him out. Can't wait until Eugene see's that Sasha did not take it! He is royally screwed, he obviously can't tell Negan about it, so maybe it makes Eugene think about helping Alexandria and taking a bat to the head. Who's the little birdie? I am not sold it was Gregory, although he was contemplating making the trip to The Sanctuary. Interesting that there is word or an uprising and Dwight shows up to Alexandria... Enough with the setup already, let's get this battle going... Edited March 27, 2017 by ricojes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yeah, the traitor angle isn't really that big of a mystery. You guys nailed the only two options. Still, Negan stands to be very surprised. He doesn't know that Dwight left and he doesn't know that Rick has both the Kingdom and the unknown to him Oceanside on his side. It's 50/50 whether or not he knows about the Hilltop. The episodes have been a bit blah, but with this one, it was kind of cool to see how Maggie has slowly taken over as the Hilltop's leader. We've seen her lose so much more than anyone else (obviously others have lost as much, but we never saw it) and she has become a very strong character.

shrader Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I just watched the preview for next week. There were two quick things I noticed that were interesting. There's a shot of Negan outside the gate and Dwight is standing behind him. Another was a shot of a bunch of people up on the wall with guns at Alexandria. Jadis is right next to Rick.

I thought that looked odd when I saw it last night. Maybe they will "trade captives"? Dwight wasn't looking too happy. watching the trailer - Trees cut down blocking a road, they also had a frame or two of the shopping carts from the 2 weeks ago, so who knows what's mixed in as a flashback or a small roadblock. Jadis is squatting down right next to Rick behind the wall. Is it just me or did it look like the Kingdom group of fighter's was a bit....small I mean...the tiger? Cool as hell but is this all the Kingdom is gonna provide? I counted about a dozen. I'd expect a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tiger's a cat. It basically sleeps 18 hours a day. But it does need some exercise...and for all the exercise available in the Kingdom, that should be one fat-ass tiger.
