Walking Dead

Into The Badlands was pretty entertaining. I was enjoying Preacher, but it got back-burnered for the last 5 or so episodes, and then my DVR died. Hopefully they do the typical AMC thing of running the previous season as a marathon before the premiere of the new season, so I can catch up.

Preacher is good.....I'm liking Legion really good now. It way out there....

DCNISMO

Sasha dies this evening.... who else?? Predictions?

Predictable and not including the garbage people treason turn, boring. Next season is the real war. To be honest it felt like the actors mailed this one in and are tired of the show and characters too. It's like they wanted to be someplace else besides some little town in Georgia making a TV show.

So the finale was pretty clunky.

The only positives

DCNISMO

Or her flip side Tara, both of which I find annoying....I thought Rosita was going to shoot Eugene.....that would have been awesome. But no. Just her B$tch face was all we got, and the team running around wasting bullets and not hitting anything. Then Simon flips them the bird while driving off with Negan as a hail of automatic gunfire from 15 guns or so goes right at them.....and hits nothing. Funny how they can shoot a walker in the head with a pistol from 30 yards, but can't hit a freaking truck with a machine gun from 15 feet. I thought Jadis was going to do some weird BDSM thing to Rick and make Michonne watch it....

Seems that losing an eye makes you quick draw McDraw because Carl was the only one worth a crap. It looks like the survivors went to Stormtrooper marksmanship school and the concept of taking cover is lost when fighting zombies for so long. The show is in serious need of consultants as the fight choreography was apparently the work of 12 year olds...

DCNISMO

It was lame in all aspects. It's like they got bored, the writers, the actors, show runner. All of it. Plus Rick drops 20 feet off a platform wil no ill effects. Yea right. I prefer the hospital story arc over this.

Only the first episode was worth watching this season, the rest of the show was as bad as a soap opera, so much drama and too much blabbering and feeling sad and sorry for each other. Please, Man up and hunt for some saviors

Plus the whole Garbage people thing was really dumb. Emo nerds living in piles of garbage. I suppose they listen to Depeche Mode and cut themselves to mask their pain of being outcasts and living in garbage. And when does Dwight have time to carve little wooden soldiers anyhow?

So... I know I complain about this show a lot this season... But... My f**king GOD. Get your ******* **** together TWD before I get it together for you. We all just think that we can show these stupid *** drama looking shed me a b**ch *** tear "sasha flashbacks". Then the fight scene... My lord the fight scene. What happened? I've seen some epic looking battles before. The fight with the people eaters. What happened to that stuff? This looked like a group of 10yo playing paintball and a few kids wrestling cause the other kid called his mom fat. Calm the f**k down timmy he meant phat with a PH!

Honestly I think I just expect too much out of this show. It's my fault for living in its past episodes.

I completely forgot or missed that Sasha had a fling with Abraham -- the hissing between Rosita and Sasha last week was the first time I remember hearing about it.

Anyway, basically, Michonne took a beating that Andrea took in the original storyline while on sniper watch and Sasha took the role of Holly(who they weirdly briefly introduced a while ago, and then totally skipped over), so she should have shown up as a zombie with a bag on her head (now a TWD cliché...), and it should have been deliberate on the part of Negan to gain easier access to attack Rick's group, for some reason I forget.

They turned it into a weird "hero's death" that you could see coming a mile away, what with all the cut-scenes of Sasha in her ostensibly final moments listening to music

Also, why is Eugene now post-apocalypse Dr. Kevorkian?

Well, it was nice to finally see more of Negan again.

I can't wait to hear him ask Dwight next season if he is wearing his "shitting pants"

Oh, and I hate the "Garbage People," who for some unclear reason all talk as though society collapsed 25 - 40 years ago instead of only a few years, and they've forgotten how to form full sentences and to not eat old pooped-in diapers.

No they are not.

They really don't fit the whole TWD universe at all. They are kind of like the feral kids in the original Mad Max movies -- like first generation post-apocalypse people who have a totally different set of norms and ideas about the world.

Are they a community of people who were homeless/houseless/refugees before society collapsed? That would explain why they're an extra level of disconnected from survivors who were more a part of "regular" society.

But, if so, you'd figure they'd have been among the first to get eaten just because they'd already have no real shelter from the weather let alone a zombie outbreak.

In any case, they really need a more coherent backstory. They just seem like they were dropped in from some other story entirely.

I can only think of one other thing, and if this is the answer, its a bad one.

The Garbage People could eventually become , but that group only talks and acts oddly because .

Otherwise, really live more like indigent pre-colonial invasion people (a stark contrast to Rick and company who are working their way to living a pre-industrial revolution/post colonialism settler kind of life), albeit filtered through a zombie outbreak.

I dunno. The fact that their group feels really forced into the TWD universe and they ended up serving as just a needless plot device (i.e., the ol' double-cross), I'm kind of hoping they just get wiped out next season.

Last night Dead season premiere.....I'm glad they found a place to make all that ammo for them, and used most of it to shatter windows on Negan's compound and never seeming to kill anyone. Daryl can ride a motorcycle and then shoot while moving an explosive charge and never miss. They easily kill the people that are supposed to be scouts or watchers for Negan, just sneak up and knife them in the back. Negan's army is seemingly lost or not present. In the end, a big nothingburger.....
