Yea, really. This is life or death, bash his friggin' head in. Game over.
I honestly think that b/c they've had increasingly (1) unbelievable decisions, (2) poorly conceived set pieces and (3) no strategies or (4) no linear plot development that I've now totally dismissed the plausible factor for anything that happens & just take it at face value. It is like a lot of TV shows where dumb inexplicable things happen (esp true in comedies), but that's just the show's reality. Kids always age super fast on TV, distances on TV mean nothing, extras, #s come and go as needed. The Walking Dead literally maximizes the abuse of any and all TV conventions. Starting with Zombies loosened their tether on reality and they've taken every bit of rope possible. Of course the fundamental problem is the action of the show is 95% about the very realities it abuses & overarching themes have only been detected by the most devout suspenders of disbelief.
I was more WTF, when Rick went out the window with his gun, why not just wait there and shoot Negan when he comes to the window, instead of running away?
I'm thinking/assuming she just took off and headed back to Negan. Better question why didn't they set up the ambush as a crossfire instead of all being on one side of the road??
Well they knew they ran the road block at the back exit. I guess they assumed everybody got out that way or ran off into the woods. Don't know if they would even notice the underground sewers in the dark and smoke.
Well half of them were cut down with Dwight. The others probably went looking for Alexandrians in the woods. ???
Hit the gas lines.
Oh it's a huge loss. Monumental departure from the comics. I believe a lot of the future plot lines focus around Carl in the comics. Which may (or may not) be better???
The episode definitely gets worse in rearview, trash people walking undid two episodes yet doesn't even show up in my top 5:
if you can go down that easy. And episode would have been better if we'd known of the bite all along vs stupid SHOCKER reveal.
This one is pretty easy. (at least the 2nd person to mess this up). It was pretty obvious they were all driving and heading to their respective destinations...hence they were all driving different vehicles. They even talked about it (if the lookouts had left their vehicles) before they took off from the Sanctuary.
It think they used a massive amount of firepower and opened up a path, then used the loud speakers to draw the rest away. The idea was that if Eugene could replenish their ammunition supply, they could do that. (Personally if I had a way out, I'd use it and not worry so much about later.)
I assume they still had a lot of trucks in the compound. (would Rick and Co have been better off blowing them up? duh.) Also assuming some (most??) of the workers have been promoted. ??
Yea, I guess they still had some armaments in the Sanctuary???
OR, yea Negan didn't let Dwight in on everything. Well I believe he was bitten when saving that guy. Hence why he was sacrificing himself and writing his dad a letter, and stumbling around. He knew at that point he was going to die anyway. However, yea at this point in the apocalypse getting bit is pretty lame. However since it is a (at least partially) zombie show, people are gonna get bit. What are you gonna do?5. Carl's bite wasn't shown, acquired for sake of a random thus totally unearned. THEY HAVE BODY ARMOR and he had a gun on him, inexcusable and you aren't alive this long (he's lived 1.5 - 10 yrs in the apocalypse
All 3 of them had a pretty nice set up, food, electricity, housing. Rick's group was tired of being on the road. Real tired. And there weren't a lot of walkers around. I mean I can see why you might want to leave, but there were good reasons for staying too.
Some people just really like to fight for what they have instead of running away. It's a choice.
It's probably more, "don't build new sets".
Too true, I'd add appropriate that Carl's demise is an annoying hair-brained wander around stunt ala his sole purpose in seasons 1-4 - 'uh oh, where is Carrrull !!'.
A "goodbye Carl" episode. A bit draggy. Good thing Morgan killed some people for us.
He had his hair cut on Talking Dead.
Glad I found this thread. What in the hell has happened to this show over the last few seasons? Did the writers quit? The actors are over-acting. The fight scenes are so fake. The zombies have become a non factor. All of these drawn out overly dramatic speeches. Fear the walking dead has better characters by far. I want Neegan to kill Rick and his entire crew.
