The Walking Dead Recap Season 7 Episode 15: Can People Just Start Fighting Already, Please?
https://www.wired.com/2017/03/wa…
- yep that's pretty much what I was trying to say with my last post... just get the fuck on with it already, they're drawing it out painfully longBuddhaHat
- totally, I saw the posts here and saw the episode, then saw this article and laughed because it's the same responsemonospaced
- they'll go to the last 10 minutes of the season finale to start the fight. guaranteed.Ramanisky2
- I'll be happy they kill Negan next week but I'm not optimistic. The temptation to dick everyone over with a cliffhanger is too strong for anyone in Hollywood.CyBrainX
- Folks, there's zero chance of closure in the finale.DRIFTMONKEY
- Not happening, CyBrainX. Like DRIFTMONKEY suggested, this is an ongoing, multi-season plotline.MondoMorphic
- Well then they need to learn how to make more interesting stories because relying only on the big arc is boring as fuck.monospaced

For MG33, this is how us Brits know Rick best pre W.D
- not watching this, gotta preserve his southern vibes!BrokenHD
- Fucking hell just saw his British balls as wellRamanisky2
- You mean the berries to his twig?ETM
- Why yes Basil, his Twig n BerriesRamanisky2
- Well, that's why I'm not going to watch this. Also, I've heard his very strong Brit accent on Talking Dead.CyBrainX
- Teachers? Nah, he's Egg and he'll always be Egg. I still say 'what the fuck is Egg doing?' while watching Walking Dead.Wolfboy
- Holy shit, Rick's a Brit?detritus
- Teachers? Naaaah. He's Egg!! https://www.youtube.…HAYZ1LLLA

Season FInale happened 2 days ago and not one comment.
This show is truly dead.
- I liked it. Just didn't want to trigger Benn. Wait until Benn finds out that Adobe owns the rights to the show.Gnash
- It’s just so much cheese latelyRamanisky2
- Good ending, cheers to the mullet. Interesting to see if the mutiny foreshadowing goes anywhere._niko
- That whole mutiny thing was a bit confusing. Especially after Daryl and Jesus were preaching the ways of forgiveness. I get Maggie's rage but not the others...Morning_star
- Also, Ricks beard disturbs me.Morning_star
- This half of season 8 was enjoyable TV. Let's hope Rick's beard dies in the first episode of season 9.robthelad

lol, man that car chase scene, I haven't seen anything like that since the 80's, all that was missing was this:
- Projectile4
Crazy, even in movies you never feel that level of connection to a character! Plus, the whammy of thinking you got out of it with Red going.. then BAM! My favourite character gone, and knowing how it killed Maggie too!
Most brutal scene ever. So much more than gore, it was executed with cutthroat precision, that's what made it such a shock!
- _niko1
Pretty brutal but no worse than what goes on all over the world on a daily basis. Man is the most vile of creatures.
That's why I get a kick out of feminist rights or animal rights or gay rights or even human rights, these rights only exist because men choose to allow them to exist.I'd wager that leaders of most countries in the world are just as brutal as negan, not so much in the first world maybe but definetly all second and third world countries.
Putin is a prime example, rules with an iron fist, has fucked shit up in Ukraine and Syria, is sabotaging the us election and sabotaging the internet and global communications, and we're sitting here like a bunch of fucking idiots worried about offensive Halloween costumes.
/end of rant lol- I think even Putin would draw the line before smashing someone's head to a pulp with a baseball bat in front of all his followers, laughing about itmonospaced
- Possibly but we're also only 75 years removed from the most brutal era in all of human history, negan is a child with a foam bat in comparison_niko
- still it's a shitty excuse for broadcasting something that realisticmonospaced
- yeah I don't disagree with you. brutal._niko
- Dude, c'mon. This is a TWD thread. take your politics bullshit to the other threads...OSFA
- The show is political, a mirror on our society, the zombies are secondary and used as a vehicle for social commentary but yeah tying negan to Putin might be..._niko
- ...over the top lol_niko
- in my opinion, they could have gotten the point across without the audio-visual going on for ... so ... long ... hit ... after ... bloody ... squishy ... hitmonospaced
- I was ok if they didn't show it and it was handled as a flashbcak or they just spoke to it._niko
- Sorry, this is a zombie show. You break heads sometimes.CyBrainX
- Putin? Are you kidding me? LolOBBTKN
- Dude was KGB, I'm sure he's done a lot worse. Remember the story of the Russian diplomats captured by Hezbollah? Then the KGB sent the_niko
- The kidnapper's leader a piece of his young sons ear? Followed shortly afterwards by the rest of the kid?_niko
- Or I suppose put in was an angel during the war in the Caucasus?_niko
- DaveO1
The gore didn't really shock me for some reason, remembering folks that we've seen people being torn apart for the last few seasons. I LOVED the fakeout though with Abraham, fucking genius, and the bit with Coral's arm – i was watching with my son asleep in the next room just imagining if i was in that position. Fucking harrowing. Top job.
- i'm with you. no more violent than it's been every season so farGnash
- most of the time the hero's on TWD die from a walker attack but this human on human skull bashing was visually pretty shocking.Ramanisky2
- true, because we have empathy for the character. the actual violence is on par with other killingsGnash
- Yup and ricks crew have killed tons of people we just don't have that connection with them_niko
- and I cant recall any humans killed that didn't deserve it ... maybe the ones that they recently killed in their sleep who were part of Negans crew.Ramanisky2
- deserving it's a point of view...but yeah the ones in their sleep died unnecessarily i felt plus that guy that carol burned alive was pretty brutal_niko
- It's not the killing that is the issue. It's the brutal nature and drawn out way they showed it in the premiere. Made it as fucked up as possible.monospaced
- I can watch people get eaten by zombies all day. No big deal. Take pleasure beating a man to death caving his skull in with a bat? It's different.monospaced
- yeah agreed mono, and we had 7 seasons to develop an attachment to Glenn... Abraham's 'suck my nuts' made it a bit easier... that was great.BuddhaHat
- Sorry, 6 seasons + 1 episodeBuddhaHat

Season 7 official trailer
- "man everyone hated the cliffhanger so let's just drag it out more"colin_s
- ...more survivers, more zombies, its walking dead (read it in the trailers guy voice)feel
- Yawn. I'm tired of this show.MondoMorphic
- They should drag it out til the next season. Ratings gold!yuekit
- Gnash1
I thought they'd show who lucille picked
- Who got clobbered?utopian
- they didn't show how. did a POV shotGnash
- show *whoGnash
- In the comics its Glenn but could be different in the showfyoucher1
- I think Daryl.ETM
- I'd say it's the OG recruiter.pango
- Then they pussied out and the show is failing on the premise it was created under. That anyone, no matter how important can die at any time.ETM
- i bet there's a pool going on.pango
- lvl_131
that episode was brutal. haven't read the graphic novels but am very curious as to who in the hell negan is (or are, or was or whatever).
is there just one more episode in this series?
- i meant season, not series.lvl_13
- i think 16 in the season, last one was ep 13 -- so 3 moreGnash
- ya, it was brutal. best one in a whileGnash
- Daryl or Glen? Who gets it this season?BH26
- Glen. Him not actually dying earlier in the season and Maggie being pregnant, aside from the established storyline anyway, makes it a pretty good bet.ETM
- I'm thinking Carol too. Likely in self-sacrifice, though it could go the way of the comics like her character did back in the prison.ETM
- Just depends if TV execs are too scared now to kill fan favs. I think the Glen thing earlier this year was to test fan reaction for the real thing.ETM
- i stopped reading the comix so as to keep the series uncomplicated. but I think it's glen. The group will have to pay dearly for what they've done.Gnash
- I think someone from Negans group saw Daryl blow up the bikers ( car in background) . So there may be some retribution.BH26
- ^ oh, I didn't see the carGnash
- That car was a dot and likely off the set (About 28 secs in):
https://www.youtube.…ETM - ^ good catch. I'd never have seen that. could it be unintentional?Gnash
- I would think if we were supposed to notice it, it would have been more present. I think it was crew, or general public driving by.ETM
- Lucille will take care of Glen.robthelad
- pango0
will the real niggan please stand up?
- Niggan who?!randommail
- The episodes since the midseason premiere would have been so much better if i hadn't read up on Neganlocustsloth
- I haven't read up so, shhh!Gnash
- So you don't want to hear that Negan is actually a marionette operated by Jesus's split personality?locustsloth
- ^ scene from season finale
https://c2.staticfli…locustsloth - not clicking link!Gnash
- It's safe to click. No spoilersETM
- Negan Please!
We Are All Negan!!!!utopian - lol @Niggan please!pango

Enjoyed a lot this episode... now, you're single again Maggieeee
- such a hottie
Thank you Lord JesusRamanisky2 - And love her British accent... but too bad she's dumb as a bag of hammers. :(ETM
- yeah ill go find and rescue herCGN
- such a hottie
- _niko2
still not sure what their plan was, they are trying to march the zombies away from the proximity of Alexandria, but to where? Sounded like they were going to release them like an unwanted puppy a few miles away and hope they didn't return?
Why not leave them in the pit and light the fuckers on fire? as we saw in the last episode they are drawn to flame, so throw a bunch of molotov cocktails at that massive hoard and voila! Walking Dead Burning Man festival.
end of Zombie problem.
- oops just saw you guys were saying the same sort of thing a few posts up, but yeah._niko
- RICK, _nico... ...Rick said it would work... that there was NO OTHER WAY, _nico... ...NO OTHER WAY.PonyBoy
- They could have welded razor wire between the trucks and let them dice themselves.i_monk
- Or wall off the top of the ramp with stone or something that they could have moved with all that heavy equipment they have.ETM
- Or blew up the ramp since it was already unstable.ETM
- Plus, you know, not unknowingly leave a horde of walkers on a potential path to another innocent settlement/group.ETM
- Frosty_spl0
Will they kill Rick off and have the guy with the stick be the group leader?
- Wouldn't Rick be infected? He got sliced by a machete that had gone right through a walker, likely resulting in an infection as bad as a bite would. Yes, no?ETM
- they all have the infection, but they need to die first to become zombiesdrgs
- he may need to chop his hand off to stop the spread of infection.Gnash
- Rick only has one hand in the comicsdesmo
- spoiler alert.
http://cdn.bloody-di…maquito - @drgs Yes, we all know everyone has 'The Infection'. Its the filthy blade leading to a festering infection and septic shock I'm referring to.ETM
- Shouldnt he have cut it off right away?CGN
- not unless infection sets in.Gnash
- Ben992
this is a good season yet, and the last episode was the best one in ages.
good, cuz this is the last chance i'm giving them. if it end up to be as boring as the last 2 seasons, i'm out.
- you'll still watch.Gnash
- What else have you got to do? Post on some forum?ETM
- http://stream1.gifso…moldero
- No matter how good, someone will always talk about how bad the show has gotten. We've been hearing it for 6 years.CyBrainX
- BuddhaHat1
AMC brought the goods with the opening episode, it was amazing. I was disappointed Fear the Walking Dead was only 6 episodes until I watched this. Now I'm happy Rick and his merry men are back.
- that massive horde though .. daaaaamn!!!Ramanisky2
- was too ambitious a plan. no way they could have controlled a horde like that. i think shoring up the gates and making some napalm was the way to goGnash
- Agreed. Their plan made no sense and had such a small chance of working.MondoMorphic
- but guys, Rick said they had no options.Ramanisky2
- A few bulldozers and threshers with protected cabins would have taken care of that horde in a few days.i_monk
- ^ i_monk has it. you just park it at the top and they walk into it. but the mess would need to get cleaned out as the rig will clog.Gnash
- Loved the episode. Really think they went about it the wrong way though. They should actually be channeling those walkers INTO that quarry after some...HAYZ1LLLA
- ... reinforcements are put in place. Kill half of them with dynamite or a bulldover. Put up something really noisy to attract more and keep them away from homeHAYZ1LLLA
- ... also if shit really hits the fan, like there are people coming to startbig trouble. They can release them against their enemies.HAYZ1LLLA
- ukit20
What happened to this guy? Did the writers forget about him?
- he's dead, no?benfal
- Not dead, last we saw he was following the group and it was implied he would catch up to them at some point. But that was like two seasons ago.ukit2
- He'll probably make an appearance again this season. But yes, it's been a long time.Jaline
- Morgan is probably marking walkers with an 'M' not a 'W'Ramanisky2
- Yeh, def think this is coming up M-Wfyoucher1
- 2 seasons ago? I think he was wooly in the first season. Then he became a pimp on Hung.CyBrainX
- he was (only) in the first season.CyBrainX
- Gnash1
but damn, they built the wall wrong. All the supports are on the outside - should definitely be on the inside. that's a big detail to get wrong
- I was thinking the same thing. Thought they were supposed to have solid walls too. Not corrugated steel.aslip
- oh ya, he did say something about thick, steel walls...Gnash
- There is solid structure on the inside. You wouldn't want the ladder effect of cross-braces on the outside.ETM
- Without mechanical fasteners there may not have been a better way to pin the panels up.ETM
- If the supports were on the inside, the panels would only be supported by them and not the vertical posts on the inside.ETM
- I get what you're saying, but having the supports outsides is a major structural flawGnash
- if you are protecting from outside attack, the architect should have considered this.Gnash
- Was likely considering walkers more then people at that point.ETM
- < ya, that's the only reasonable possibility. But unlikely. We all know what apocalyptic society will look like. zombies or notGnash
- what if there was a zobienado...then they are f'dCGN
- Zombienado is the name of the spinoff series.CyBrainX
