S.T.real,lights,out Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I thought he was great. He had the right mix of powerful, savvy, practical, creepy and kooky. Yea, idk. From what everyone says about the guys he is supposed to be the biggest villain or whatever in TWD. I know he was only on for 10 minutes but i would still say the governor has my vote. Im sure i will grow to hate him tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybrant Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think I eliminated one of the 4 in the point of view theory. The POV seems to come from the back/center of the van and Daryl is in the very front. The POV shot also seems to show Daryls head in view before they open the doors.I'm starting to think that Glenn is a goner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So I am poking in this thread with caution. I don't really know anything about this show other than it's about zombies and seems a bit popular. I am scared to read reviews because I don't want any spoilers though. My wife and I need a new show to start watching on Netflix and I'm thinking about trying this. In general, is it worth it and is it something that women get into also? When I think zombies, I think more man show. Thanks in advance for your input. Please quote me so I can come read your response without seeing any spoilers. Thanks again.

Liked Negan's introduction and Jeffery Dean Morgan should do right by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The ending is much better storytelling to me than showing who was whacked and making that the seminal focus aft the end. They keep the attention of the audience (regarding what's known) on the major points of the episode while showing clearly which characters are actually on the line. The two primary themes of the episode to me were really breaking Rick (and his top fighters) and showcase to Rick's core group what's already known to the audience--that Negan has a huge, polished, and very effective operation and just how formidable he is individually. They now see he is totally overpowering and could have crushed them at anytime, yet played cat and mouse because he sees them as resources, not real threats (yet). The focus properly remains on the "whole new level" thing, which will force our people to get even stronger to triumph. Of course the suspense will feed many discussions as planned and this series has tied other reveals/cliffhangers to more major developments that spring from them as much as resolving the cliffhanging event itself. Basically, I thought it was a great move for the same reasons they detailed on TD. I sneer derisively at the perpetually whining weenies who think it was some sort of poor choice. Back to imagining plotlines---while watching early on, I had this one projection of both Glenn and Michonne being among the causalities, and Rick and Maggie (& baby) being among the survivors and eventually hooking up down the road next season. Think of all the interesting angles there <nerd smiley> (I don't consider it any real possibility). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkers (they are not referred to as zombies in this show) are a subplot. The real point of the show is the everyday struggle to survive, finding a reason in that struggle to keep on living, encountering other dangerous people, and battling everyday real world issues that become more pronounced in a world gone to ****.The show does a good job of showing the change in people as they adapt to their surroundings, and either struggle to let go of their humanity, struggle to keep it, or welcome it and embrace their brutal, survival instinct. If that interests you, and you aren't intrigued just from an action/zombie double tap standpoint, and don't apply an absurd amount of real world principle to the show, you'll love it. You also have all spring and summer to catch up on the first five seasons, and season 6 if you have On Demand, or during the weeks leading up to the season 7 premiere (usually around Halloween) on AMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 don't apply an absurd amount of real world principle to the show, you'll love it. Can you expand a little more on this? I get that an apocalyptic zombie TV show isn't going to be but so realistic but how bad is it? Like they just happen to find a car with keys in it at the right time or someone gets shot 15 times and still walks away un-realistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they just happen to find a car with keys in it at the right time or someone gets shot 15 times and still walks away un-realistic?Kinda.Like if you can look past **** like an abundance of working cars, foods with dairy years into the apocalypse, certain "Unpossible!" moments that I won't spoil for you. You have to accept the fact that there are really really smart shows out with nearly flawless writing for certain scenarios based in a real world setting, then there are shows based in an alternate reality, where you have to stretch things to make for compelling tv, or in some cases, because why the **** not, it was awesome anyway. That kinda stuff Basically, as long as you're not "That guy" that gets invited over to a watch party and complains over and over about how "That would NEVER work in The real world!" To the point you wanna smother him with a pillow, you should be good. Have great expectations, but don't become consumed with cynicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemocystem Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 A toddler needs to be shown a cookie...needs to be coaxed into following direction. I feel like the show didn't give the fans enough respect to get the reward, & keep coming back for more. It's either a lack of faith in their own storytelling, or blatant con in order to keep the casuals coming back. The amount of time we fans have invested in the show should afford us the good faith that we can handle the big reward, & still come running back for more. I feel that big cliffhangers are a gimmick...a trope that is used to buy writers time, & to artificially maintain suspense. I tune out though....especially when technology has provided me with Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 JDM was pretty damn good as Negan, but I still feel like the show is jerking it's fans around. The death of a character in POV format feels like a slap in the face. We've been teased and frustrated with cliffhangers and red herrings all season, including the last episode with Daryl. The writers and producers hyped up the finale for months, saying how "shocking" it would be. As a viewer, I would like some clarity once in a while. I'm getting tired of the show stringing along it's viewers instead of giving an emotional payoff. It kind of feels like we are getting trolled at this point. But you know..ratings! The finale overall was average. Basically just Rick getting trolled for 80 minutes, then Negan (which was awesome). Overall,I was disappointed.

jaybrant Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 6.0 on IMDB? Wow.. People must be really butt-hurt over the cliffhanger. I've never seen an episode rated that low before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The ending was absolute bull****... After the 90 minutes of some tension and some really boring nonsense and there is absolutely no payoff.... The show peaked ratings wise 2 years ago and has been declining, but still popular, so I guess they thought they needed this gimmick to spur some buzz because it was absolutely the worst season ender... Total ripoff and quite an a-hole move to screw loyal Fans. Agree that it was an so anti climactic especially after hearing all the bs quotes from actors being so emotionally upset from filming this... F u!

Rocky21 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Great Buzz - it's the # 1 show on television and has held that spot for several years. There's certainly a chance that there is something going on here. Man people are butt hurt over the ending. Carole with a belly wound that needs stitches and two slugs in the arm and no doctor at Alexandria....It's a good thing she and Morgan ran into the body armor good guys.
