The BlackBear Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There's a trailer out, and yes there's a tiger. (non-US viewers may need to find a proxy) They're doubling down on their clickbait treatment of Neegans victim. Do you think you'll care when we finally find out who it is?

I already don't care who the victim is. The viewers and the show are the real victims of that finale. Wasn't going to bother with season 7 until enough people had told me it was good and so I could binge it and not have to spend 5 weeks at a time waiting for plots to continue (I don't see them dropping this approach because they think it makes them stylisitically unique). But there's a mother-loving Tiger in it. I must stay strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called a cliffhanger and that ain't nothing new. As for Ezekiel and his tiger, I always thought it was a stretch in the comics (Yes, I appreciate the irony of that in a show set in the zombpocalypse.) so I can't wait to see how they pull it off in the TV show. And I'm not too sure I dig the guy playing Ezekiel. He looks like a younger dude in a bad grey wig and beard and not like an older man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't like the finale was the instigator. I'm just sick of 2-3 good episodes followed by wheel spinning and the infuriating "we can't put 4 storylines in an episode - you have to wait 4 weeks to find out how a story continues". I'll give the binge approach a try but I'm tired of how the weekly storyline plays out. The fact I didn't bother watching season 2 of "fear" also plays into the decision to not care that much. That and no one I work with watches it until it becomes available on amazon uk so no social pressure to watch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I've watched 6 seasons of Walking Dead and I don't think I like it" It can be hugely entertaining but the pacing is probably the worst I've seen in a long time.

HokieStone Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 There was a sneak peek released at NYCC that's now online. Even though this is the spoiler thread...I'll spoiler text this since it's not from an actual episode that has aired... Spoiler Well, first spoiler...it wasn't Rick that was killed. Hardly shocking, I know. The whole clip consists of a conversation between Negan and Rick, with Negan holding the bloody bat. The key part is where Negan talks to a guy off screen, and then tells Rick (paraphrasing) "He's my right hand man. It's important that a leader have a right hand man, don't you think? Is one of these people here your right hand man? Oh...wait...did I just...<bat knocking sound>" The obvious implication here is that he killed of Darryl. Who knows if that's true. I kind of feel like it's a red herring...what with a previous clip showing some guy wearing Darryl's jacket, and now this...seems like they're trying a little too hard to lead people in that direction.

And I'm not too sure I dig the guy playing Ezekiel. He looks like a younger dude in a bad grey wig and beard and not like an older man. I think there's a time and place for cliffhangers, and there's a way to use them well. It would have been a perfect cliffhanger to show someone (Glenn, probably) get beat to death with a bat and then leave the audience to wonder what happens to the rest of Rick's formerly merry band. However, it's obnoxious to cut the scene right before someone dies, especially when there is literally source material telling us who fucking dies. It'd be like Game of Thrones cutting the Red Wedding right before Robb dies. What's the fucking point? It's just a waste of everyone's time. Granted, they may stupidly decide to kill off someone other than Glenn, but that would be just another in a long string of terrible decisions the show has made to pointlessly stray from what is generally a pretty good comic narrative. As for Ezekiel and his tiger, I agree it was silly in the comics, but whatever. I enjoyed it. I'm sure the show will figure out some creative way to fuck it up. Anyway, I can pretty much predict how the first half of this Walking Dead season will go. We'll get two to three good episodes to get our hopes up that they finally get it, two to three awful episodes about nothing in particular because the budget had to be met to remind us the showrunners are fucking hacks, and a couple of mediocre episodes to round it out. You know...pretty much how every season of The Walking Dead goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzanadra Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I am legitimately exited for the new season. Never felt this way about a Walking Dead season but I finally caught up on the show via Netflix (lost interest in S6 after the fake-out) and I am pumped. It does help I only have to wait a week to answer the "who did Negan kill" question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Because it has started again. They are really milking this "who died?" thing. Edit: Ha. Double Wammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne23 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This show is now officially torture porn. Started to get that way last season, but now it's all the way there. I'm legitimately exiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris the Blade Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 How about they just kill every character and save us the trouble of more episodes and seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBaelish Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well I'll say it if nobody else will. I liked it. My only problem with it is going by the show's history, it won't be able to keep the tension this episode had. As a stand alone episode, it rocked my nerves. I just know that they'll be up to their old tricks soon enough. But again, as a self contained episode- it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairparavel Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well, I suspected Abraham would get it and then Glenn because of some reaction by someone. And ayup. I totally love JDM. Just not sure about how this season goes. I was turned off at the comic at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
