The Walking Dead Thread - Part 2

[jagee]

Guys Rick just really likes pain. Only explanation I can come up with.

50 shades of Rick?

50 shades of Rick?

Considering who he is snuggling up to I could make a couple inappropriate comments. So I will just share my opinion that I think Michonne is pretty hot.

The garbage patch chick is kinda scary and freaky though.

What ever happened to Ricks phone?

Yeah...And is it just me or when Rick showed up was the Garbage Patch Chick missing her britches???

Ok, here is my on what is going on.

I missed the show two (2) weeks ago, and got a late start on this last weeks episode, so I had to watch them and rewatch them twice as I caught part of last weeks before this last Sunday.

Rick keeps referring to "THE PLAN." He has said that over and over and over again.

At the beginning of this last episode everyone was reading the intel updates from the others. In his letter Rick referred, more than once, to "THE PLAN."

This means that, so far, EVERYTHING is going according to the PLAN! Everything.

Step back and think about this for a moment. He planned to go to the garbage dump people. He knew there would be one (1) of two (2) possible outcomes. Either they would betray Negan OR they would capture him. His being captured IS part of the PLAN. This could seem silly but I have a theory.

You know that if they capture you they probably won't kill you. You're the leader of the rebel force. So what will they do? They have several obvious choices. Choice #1 is to TAKE you to Negan. Choice #2 is for them to send word to Negan that they have you, and Negan will send a force to come get you. EITHER WAY a small force will be on the road to the other destination. There is probably only one (1) or two (2) obvious routes between Saviourland and The Dump.

So let me ask you a question. If you knew where and when a small enemy force was going to be what would YOU do? Hmmm....?

One of the most ancient military maneuvers is to divide and conquer. Either way it works Rick either divides garbage people and whacks them on the road, thus weakening them with NO significant risk to his people OR his people bushwhack whatever Negan sends, and again weakens the main enemy. In any of these scenarios Rick comes out on top.

Remember Carol telling King Ezekiel that he NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE PLAN and get more troops ready to go. Go for what?

Rick has tried twice to recruit the garbage dump people. They have said no twice, and yet they let him live. His third attempt will appear as simply stupid, when in reality it is appearing weak when you are strong.

Sun Tzu said, "If a general know what his troops can do he will win half of his battles. If a general knows what the enemy troops can do he will win half of his battles. But if a general knows what both his troops can do along with his enemies he will rule all under heaven." (paraphrased)

Rick knew how the garbage people would probably react. He is counting on it. He will rule all under heaven.

At least, that's my theory.

Regards,

Doug

Or, maybe Rick just likes to be naked in Conex boxes.

Having watched Rick for umpty ump seasons have no strategy and poor tactics and have a baby during the zombie outbreak....planning may not be his thing.

To be fair that is Shane’s baby. Plus what’s wrong with getting naked at the dump? It works for the garbage pail chick.

The Punisher's kid?

Sometimes series drag on too long.

 

[voidsherpa]

I don't like watching this show anymore.

 

[jagee]

Last episode was very slow. I lost interest, INGOed while it was on in the background.

 

[VERT]

Changed my opinion of Eugene. He would be voted off my island.

We've always known him to be self-serving and not care about the group.

I'd keep him around for his brains, but wouldn't allow him the freedom that Negan has.

 

[grunt soldier]

It's time for a lot of characters to die. They need to really change it up. None of these groups would actually survive the apocolypse

I cut back on my tv package to save from $$$ and AMC is one of the channels I lost. This weekend they had AMC on preview and they did a season "catchup" marathon, so now I won't have to wait until it hits Neflix to watch the season up to now! Woo-hoo!

I'll throw in my youngest grandson. He likes to bite when he's irritated (1 1/2 year old....he'll need someone to carry him)

Let me help with the finale...

Get a bunch of your INGO buddies with ARs and RPGs together. Split the group in half. One half on one side of a car and the other half on the other side. They can alternate popping up from behind cover while yelling "Pew! Pew!" while somebody tosses fireworks poppers at both groups. You'll get the same quality of plot and special effects. You might need a guy with a Louisville slugger to beat the tired plot line to death. Maybe some homeless people to play the Garbagians?

What about the excessive use of lingering close-ups on actors with tragically anguished expressions on their faces? You didn't mention excessive use of lingering close-ups on actors with tragically anguished expressions on their faces. If you're going to do it right, you have to have excessive use of lingering close-ups on actors with tragically anguished expressions on their faces.

Isn't this excessive??

Moderately excessive at best! I would never advocate excessively excessive actions.

I'm about ready to see everyone that can't stick to a plan die because they can't stick to plan.
