LIR: I thought so last night and slept on it, and personally, I loved this TWD episode. spoils

Posted by Spawn Apr 4 '16, 07:52

It started with Rick being, "We can do anything!" and it tore that down. Rick went from being a big fish to being a minow in the ocean that is Negan. It was long and drawn out because they wanted us to feel it happening. I thought it was great.

I can not remember feeling so much tension over an extended period of tv viewing in a long time.

Another thing that bothered me (spoilers) - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:39 8
- That was... not what I thought at all. Pretty sure not. spoil - Spawn Apr 4, 08:45 3
  - that then goes to another thing that bugs me about the writing. - Mel Profit Apr 4, 09:14
  - That's how I understood the plan. Spoils -- (edited) - Volnelk Apr 4, 08:56 1
    - Spoils! And yeah, - Spawn Apr 4, 09:01
- that bugged the hell out of me. with all the leadup to it with Eugene - not only during this but also prior episodes,, this was basically the outcome -- (link) - PFM: head shaved in 11 days Apr 4, 08:41 3
  - that was horrible. -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 09:13
  - Right. Don't... - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:43 1
    - Well, he came up with the *only* plausible plan and agreed to do it. That is real growth. spoil - Spawn Apr 4, 09:29
Disagree---The ending undercut a great performance by JDM/Negan---His words/actions have no weight to them. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 4, 08:05 3
- You guys much have watched a different show or maybe missed the ending. - Spawn Apr 4, 08:19 1
  - Whew---You had me going, until your IM gave away that you're joking. - Flavorize Apr 4, 08:32
- agreed. when he kept... - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:06
how many times are we going...(spoilers) - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:02 8
- A serious question, have you ever seen someone snap? As in a nervous breakdown? - Spawn Apr 4, 08:13 2
  - I worked in a building that housed the ER and the Psych Hold area specifically. I used to have to hug the wall when State Police were - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:17 1
    - I can see your point, but you have to remember, in this case his world actually *is* ending. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 08:22
- Exactly (spoils)--- - Flavorize Apr 4, 08:08 4
  - I may be callous but I would have been asking questions in that situation -- (edited) - Max Apr 4, 08:11 3
    - Yep---the whole cast went from zero to the most scared they ever been/scared sh@tless in no time. Rick's been there before, he doesn't at least have - Flavorize Apr 4, 08:16 1
      - Right (spoilers) - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:22
    - We already know how much Saviors like questions. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 08:14
I agree that it was tense. My issue with how it played out was..... - volnelk Apr 4, 08:01 6
- Uhm, that was rather explained, though. (Will edit with that) -- (edited) - Spawn Apr 4, 08:03 5
  - I can see that to a point. - volnelk Apr 4, 08:22 4
    - Agreed on much, and some answers below. spoil - Spawn Apr 4, 08:42
    - About the timeline..(spoilers) - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 08:31 2
      - Aha. That makes more sense. I'm not sold entirely but it makes more sense. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 4, 08:43 1
        
        And Carol's physical condition sort of echoes it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 08:49
The ending had me wondering how other movie characters would have reacted in that situation. - Max Apr 4, 07:55 11
- You mention Martin Riggs...the lead on Vikings is doing a great Martin Riggs. - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:04 7
  - I really need to watch this show. -- nm - Max Apr 4, 08:05 6
    - The highest praise I can give a show is that my wife and I watch it on Saturday nights. it's joined GOT, Justified, and Rome in that pantheon -- nm - Beaker Apr 4, 08:24
    - It's a B+/A- show. If you have time I recommend it. It's an interesting show. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:05 4
      - How loose or accurate are they with the history (as much we know of it)? -- nm - Max Apr 4, 08:07 3
        
        It seems pretty much in sync with this Horrible Histories song -- (link) - LMS Apr 4, 08:18 [youtube]
        
        half the fun is going to Wiki and follow along. We see characters who are either real people, in the show doing big things or real people who will. - Mel Profit Apr 4, 08:10 1
        
        yup. My wife and I both love the show. It is very, very good -- nm - Beaker Apr 4, 08:23
- Something else I loved (that nobody else did). spoil - Spawn Apr 4, 08:02
- Hulk... -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 07:57 1
  - I was about to say that nobody could have done anything! -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 08:00
spoilers - Diva Apr 4, 07:54 1
- Maybe, but is still worked. I can see why many might not, though. If we had not had the secondary story running, it would not have worked for me. - Spawn Apr 4, 08:00
