iantjambo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 43 minutes ago, Say What Again said: Yeah. They seem to be able to put a bullet square between the eyes of a walker at 50 paces, but can't hit Neagan anywhere on the body from 5 yards I was going nuts when Rick was slowly walking towards the crashed car and firing blindly at it while Negan was trapped. I’m shouting “just run up and unload the ******* Clip into him ffs” Loved their showdown inside the building though and wasn’t expecting the ending. On another note. If/when Negan gets back to The Saviours, Simon is in a world of shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was still power and running water I reckon I could hole up at home for about 3 weeks, as long as I rationed the food to eat the minimum amount required to survive each day.

Debut 4 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 As mentioned, bit of a farce the Rick/Negan square go’s.

Cade Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The problem is that TWD refuses to kill off main cast members except for either "mid-season" finales (what a load of pish that is by the way) or the final episode of the season. Knowing this, it robs every scene of tension as plot armour protects the main cast, especially Rick and Negan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on the money. What are meant to be tense, nervous situations, will he / won't he survive, are completely lost as you know there's not a chance in hell the character is going to die.

Think the Zombies not having to eat was explained a few seasons back when rick and his group made it to that laboratory place which was eventually blew up.

Off the top off my head, a wee bit. The bombing of Alexandria happens in the comic, Dwight switching sides, Shiva dying, Eugene making bullets and Gregory being a backstabbing d*ick and Maggie taking charge spring to mind but a lot of the other stuff is just padding out the story I think til the finale. Also, the first episode where the Saviours are blocked in with Walkers by Rick and co is very close to the Comics IIRC.

Rick is an absolute scum bag who's word means $#!t. Morgan is an absolute nut job, who needs some serious psychiatric help. Carol has never gotten over her daughters death.
