The Walking Dead

If you watch the opening 5 minutes or so when they first drive up in their cars and start shooting you can see the front two guys basically lay down on the ground slowly like they are taking a nap from being shot. I missed it the first time but my kids started rolling and sure enough upon watching it again you could see the actors hard at work.

A stuntman died in the balcony scene I assume from episode one when he fell. I'd imagine after that, all stunt work was weakened. May explain it.

I like how sheet metal in this world is impenetrable.

Morgan killed more people than both sides of the Aaron/Savior GI Joe shootout.

Yes, he had the bitch crew and a line about just keeping them busy. But that's boring. Hell, the zombie that turned hadn't even been shot, he probably just starved to death.

One one point I chuckled because it reminded me of early levels in bad cover shooters where nobody has grenades yet. One molotov and it's over, dude.

The other thing that bothered me is when they were at the satellite dish base, they were standing like 5 feet from the zombies talking normally, yet the zombies ignored them the entire time. Wut.

DIdnt they already clear the spawns at the sat com base the first time they killed saviors?

They did, but they repop if you don't kill the boss.

i was looking into the timeline, best guess appear to be they are 22 months into the outbreak now

all the savior/hilltop/kingdom stuff apparently has occurred over 2ish months

Had Morgan ever even used a gun before? He was a pacifist now he's John Wick?

He was a full blown psycho killing machine at one point. When he was holed up in that town he had tons of weapons and it was clear he had killed plenty of people.

He used to keep a gun or two around the house.

You slept through the episodes when Rick first met Morgan again? The show was almost decent back then

Yeah I'm like a guy who loves Bud Lite telling a micro brew only beer drinker how great Bud Lite is, I know, but I really did like this show in the first 3.5 seasons... Yeah it had some rough edges and bumps, but I do not regret watching them at all. Then about midway through the 4th season it started to take a turn for the worse, and yeah I kind of want my time back for the rest.

Let's not get too crazy. The farm season was fucking atrocious. At least it was about zombies then

didn't mind season 2. just wish they spent more time fortifying the farm

i stopped reading the books early on so only know the clifnotes of what is going on now
maybe negan/all out war was the greatest thing on paper like some fans claim or whatever
but it is retarded on tv

Negan is annoying and saviors are dimwits

show is bleeding live viewers now, still bigger than everything else
but the way it is going could see it going below the season 1 by next season.

Sunday cable ratings: ‘The Walking Dead’ stumbles to 5-year low
The show was still Sunday’s biggest draw on cable by a long shot, but its 4.0 rating among adults 18-49 was the lowest for the show since March 11, 2012 — the next-to-last episode of Season 2. “TWD’s” 8.92 million viewers were the least since the Season 2 finale.

I imagine the full decline will take place after the crossover next year between TWD and FtWD. Both at once in the same episode should be finally enough to make people go wtf.

When I watched it, I was definitely "come on already" when it was Rick constantly going around to get a consensus on each decision he made. But outside of that it was ok, and I would take that tedium over the crap that has been 6.5 until now.

I mean I guess time wise it meets up, but FTWD was in LA then Mexico.. and they somehow truck it all the way to DC and skip the months of events in between? I really wish that show had likable characters, because it sounds like the story isn't bad since they don't feel obligated to follow any source material faithfully.
