MercenaryChef Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think we were witness to it - he's going to butcher people in lieu of cursing. indeed. television is far more okay with brutality and violence than the word 'fuck' or a tit.

Dr. Pepper Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 He was the last bit of pure humanity they had left. And so as the life drained from him, the humanity drained from the group.So that merits a decent goodbye all around.I'm not sure that 'inability to accept the new status quo' indicates some form of "pure humanity". His mantra was more "I don't want to be doing this" rather than "this is immoral". The group is still questioning the bad things they've done. That's plenty of humanity going around.

awesome possum Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 That was intense, and different. Powerful in some ways and a misfire in others - I didn't really think Tyrese's connection to the Governor was great enough to warrant so much screen time and yet not a peep from Karen. And I hope that stylistically this is a standalone episode and not the change that was talked about in some interviews prior to this premiere. A swan song for Tyrese, who wasn't nearly as bad ass as he was in the comics, but I still liked him well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 indeed. television is far more okay with brutality and violence than the word 'fuck' or a tit.Can't speak for other countries, but that is absolutely true here in the U.S. :bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 yet not a peep from Karen. I wondered why she didn't make an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia of the knife Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Soooo, Noahs development where he grew up I'm assuming was attacked given the dismembered zombies and Tyreese's flashbacks of the Rawanda massacres? A harbinger of Nagan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A harbinger of Nagan? I'm not sure if it's Negan or another group or Negan merged with another group. There was the graffiti, "the Wolves are near"(?) and those weird torso-head zombies had W's carved in their foreheads. At the same time, Noah's mother's head was bashed in quite clearly by a baseball bat. I wondered why she didn't make an appearance. For as important as she was to him it was a strange omission. Everyone still had their death-wounds in the room so I can understand not having burned up Karen sitting there, but in the Suburban they were all cleaned up.

And with the machete deaths, it seems clear these were human attacks and not zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to reincarnate as the Butcher of Anderson station in "the expanse" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBaelish Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I really don't think the Governor should have shown up in his visions, but anytime i can hear my man crush's dulcet tones- I am not gonna complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevelyan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Man, that was a weird episode. And Noah is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of two of our main characters. I honestly have no idea why I keep watching this show. Since Season 4, it has been rather difficult for me to immerse myself in this world or to sympathize with most of the characters. And the formula has gotten so transparent. Almost every time a (expendable) character gets "a moment" or a short storyline, you know he's not gonna make it. The writers of Walking Dead need to realize that the death of a character alone does not equal compelling drama. There is much more to it. They've been killing characters left and right since the beginning, but by now, it has become just repetitive, predictable and uninspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Olenna Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The only part I found myself reacting to was Glenn picking up the baseball bat. That made me bristle a bit. This felt like a very strange way to kick off a return. It felt very slow and unfamiliar. The cameos were off putting to me and with the way the episode seemed to want to go in an artistic direction - for some reason the shot of the zombie ladies head exploding and the weird torsos flying around seemed... Cheap? It didn't sit right with me. Probably the first episode I was more excited to watch Downton Abby. Hopefully next week will be better.Edit:Watching the TD and now I'm wondering if I should rewatch the episode again. Maybe I'm not watching it with the right perspective.

Lord Hanna Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ruined Tyrese's character for me anyways, didn't feel affected by his death at all. Episode was weird, boring and seriously.....what's the point of having a character hallucinate others for 30 minutes, telling him stuff, only to make him die right after? Seemed like "filler" to me. lol This show went from my 2nd favorite show ever (season 1-2 and half of 3) to being a show i only watch because i've already invested 4 seasons into it.

awesome possum Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll never understand that point of view. If you don't like a show, who gives a shit how much time you've invested in it. Walk away and do something better with your time. Unless watching said show and then complaining online about it is that "something better" with your time, in which case... uh, I'm sorry.
