The Walking Dead Thread - Part 2

[dusty88]

If I was with Hilltop I sure as hell would want another leader besides Gregory.

His attitude alone with Maggie was pure horsecrap. It not only was extremely rude, but she bent him over HARD when the tables were turned. That isn't in Maggie's character normally. It was her natural response to being called Natalie (more than once) along with the other degrading treatment.

A leader has to lead his/her own people, but he/she also has to be diplomatic with others. His total lack of diplomacy cost his own group far more than it should have, and in the long game may well have poisoned relations between Ricks group and his own.

They don't need a leader like that. That is more harm than good in my opinion.

I was also not impressed with writing a character like that as a leader. He's not charismatic, he's not intimidating. He's just full of crap and full of himself. Did he make the group think he was more intelligent? He just strikes me as someone the residents would have given the finger to immediately.

Just wait... I would say more but don't want to spoil the story.

I may never use Bisquick or eat pancakes again.

Did you see the tweet on TTD about the things that TWD has ruined?

If I were Maggie, the first thing out of my mouth when I walked into that room to negotiate the second time would have been. "I'm sorry, who am I again? What's my name?"

 

[AngryRooster]

Yeah, but in all fairness it's boosted up pudding by the gallon and cans of dog food. Pudding, just because, and the dog food because Rick says you can't have it and smacks it out of your hand.

IN, but not reading anything as I haven't watched the last one yet...

I DVRd it.
Hope to watch it tomorrow.

Watched it this evening. I was surprised that Rick hired them out to attack this Negan's camp. Why not just tell these lovable losers that he is taking their ****. Is they want to join up with them, they can, except dear leader.

Not only would it be immoral to attack the Hill community, if he successfully attacks Negan he gets a twofer
-gets a bunch of stuff they need
-gets rid of a future problem (Negan)

-well really a three-for. If this were to be successful, they might have continued positive trade with the other community.


If he attacks the other community, he may get stuff but he has a new enemy and no future trade with them

Rick hasn't done any scouting and agrees to fight...just because. About as reckless as putting the RV in a mud hole. The show runners are pushing believability to the limits with this stupidity.

Dude... just think about Maggie the next time you slowly eat a sticky syrup coated pancake. Excuse me. Be right back...

 

[Kutnupe14]

Wow, seriously? You want to be that obvious in making a run?

Kut (thinks a smackdown is coming)

Because that would deviate from Akira Kurosowa's "Seven Samurai" film....Which, apparently, is what this seasons story line is totally stolen from.....

They need to give Akira at least a nod.....

Oh...And where's Carol????

 

[Libertarian01]

Oh...And where's Carol????

I was wondering the same thing but I think I have it figured out now.

She is their secret weapon. If/when they get in trouble and are captured, she just saunters in and saves them all... again.

So far the TV version is very much like the comic book version of Gregory.

I may try to rid the comic book...

What? It's awesome. You can get hardback volumes that have multiple issues toom

As long as you don't get indignant when the tv show deviates. A friend of mine won't watch because he's a graphic novel purist. Gag...

Try the local library. The compilations run $30-40.
