Yea, see that would be rash. Not having a plan like figuring out who and what the Saviors were. It didn't work out. They now have no guns, (well a couple it looks like hidden, maybe), lost Abraham and Glenn and now are under Negan's thumb. I wouldn't call that splendid. IDK, maybe you think that's working it out splendidly?? Guess we have a different view of splendid.
Pretty sure Rick's been well aware of walkers vs human threats for quite some time.
You are right it has nothing to do with Rick being the lead on a TV show.
The the poor intel was the problem. The main problem. Yes the attack was a success, but the mistakes were made prior to that in not figuring out who they were attacking.
Good point.
Yesssssssss.
, it's pretty simple. Kill Negan, get slaughtered. Heck they don't even have to come back and kill them all, the Saviors can just set up and pick off small groups that go on runs until there is nothing left.
I've never seen anything like meyers' defense of every tiny aspect of this show. It's absolutely bizarre.
Not really defense, more just trying to explain it to people who really seem to have trouble understanding it. I don't particularly like everything they do, but I try to understand where they were coming from or what they were trying to do. I thought (think) people would (will) like it better if they had a better understanding. But I'm probably wrong here though. They probably get more enjoyment out of whining and complaining.

I've always had a habit (probably bad) of correcting people when they say something wrong (incorrect, misunderstand, lie, etc.). In real life I do try to control the urge somewhat, since it will sometimes piss people off, but on a message board, that's kinda the point.
Not from my experience. Most people aren't very bright. I used to think around 85%, but I've pushed it up to about 87%. (After this last election, I should probably push it up higher.) So if I know something to be true, no real reason to believe other people who may not agree.
Tell me about it. I sometimes have to take a break I get so pissed off.It pisses people off even more when they are right and they do understand it, and you are wrong and don't understand it.
That was one of the best passive aggressive posts I've seen. I'm not insulting it. I think you meant it that way. Kudos!Not really defense, more just trying to explain it to people who really seem to have trouble understanding it.

Again I was pretty entertained. It somehow has become more of a TV show with a slow burning multiple angled plot-line of Negan and the Saviors. The Hilltop leader was implausible (didn't need that extreme to see Maggie is great) & obviously the Saviors needed to bash someone's head in rather than steal nice Scotch, but otherwise mixed some fun in with Carl and I like the pending assassination attempts.
The "we'll take 50% of everything" thing can't work for long. At some point you don't leave a reason for people to comply. They are only in these communities because it's better than being on the road, but when you take 50% of their stuff each month it quickly becomes no different than being on the open road. I know that Enid dropped some of her guard for Maggie and Glenn (and Carl), but I can't believe she didn't say "great job getting rid of the Wolves, but I think I'm going to hit the road now."
I can be pretty passive-aggressive. Just ask my ex-wife.
Obviously. Maggie is pregnant and Michonne has a boyfriend. It seems to work.
Kind of agree. That wasn't one of my favorite episodes. I know they pretty much have different writers each week (or week by week, they recycle them and Kirkman and Gimple do write quite a few of the episodes), but occasionally you get an episode by it seems a not so good writer. This one was kind of "eh" for me.
True, but I don't think they do the "take 50%" every month or so. Like with the Kingdom, they wanted the pigs. Not 50% of everything. And with Alexandria, Negan just said he wanted something good/interesting next time. They need to go out and find it. Didn't even tell them what it might be. But it wasn't a 50% thing.
