The Walking Dead Thread - Part 2

slave labor?

 

[Libertarian01]

The word "arsenal" comes to mind!

 

[1911ly]

OK, from bad to worse!!

 

[Libertarian01]

She's not dead yet...

The Amazon camp isn't very friendly...

The Amazon camp isn't very friendly...

They have fish, aka food.

They have guns, lots of them, and a chick that's a good shot.

They have a hidden base.

Looks like a potential ally. Let's see how well Tara does.

 

[Libertarian01]

They're gonna try to kill her. The granddaughter is going to save her, as she is a really good shot...

 

[1911ly]

Just all went south.

 

[voidsherpa]

It's almost like these people are too stupid to use a spear..

 

[Libertarian01]

I called it, kindof... mostly.

Worst. Season. Ever.

Daughter is DVR the series for me. She said I would not like it.

Just speaking to last nights episode but I liked it. I thought Tara did OK and the story telling was pretty good.

We still have a bit of a mystery about what happened to her partner but she survived and walked away.

The issue I have is that you CANNOT survive long term treating everyone as an enemy. You must grow, somehow. Tara nailed it by saying that if you treat everyone as an enemy everyone will become your enemy!

Cautious - absolutely! But having a blanket policy of killing every stranger will eventually p**s off someone who wasn't your enemy but is a lot stronger than you. Dumb, very dumb.

Saying that I do understand the motivation. There would need to be some protocol about how to interact for the first time with strangers. That of course was what Aaron was trying to do; assess people on the road, observe them, then initiate contact with those whom he decided were reasonable. Not the best but still much better than kill everyone we don't know.

It looks like next episode will give a much better picture of the Saviors and just how big they are, along with why they put up with Negan.

Regards,

Doug

Last night was the first time I've seen an episode this season in its entirety (I keep falling asleep). It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't interesting. I think it was presenting some plot elements that will play a bigger role in the future, but they could have done that without devoting an hour and ten minutes to relatively uninteresting characters.

I will say that I was impressed at how agile and athletic the actor who plays Tara is even with her post-baby chub.

Well, since Negan's group kinda goes around killing people the first and second time Rick's group met them, I kinda think they started the philosophy.

I liked the last episode. And I noticed that Tara (who has just had a baby) was "bouncing" pretty good.

I am enjoying this season more than perhaps any other season since 1. That opener was one of the darkest pieces of film I have ever watched.

I think the take on how human groups will interact with other human groups post apocalypse is the real focal point of the show. Zombies are just a by product used when necessary.

I also like when "regulars" get knocked off unexpectedly. No one is super human. It makes it more "real". Kind of like a SAW movie

I too thought the newest episode was better at its core, who thinks this new group will help re arm Alexandria? I don't remember any ocean side people in the comics so these are uncharted waters. I wonder is Tara got her, I mean Negans revolver back.

I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't bring myself to be the first to mention it. But since it is out there.

 

[foszoe]

But she is a lesbian. How is this possible?
