re: Official Walking Dead S07E04"Service" Thread (NO SPOILERS)

lets be honest, the writing/dialog has never been this show's strong point

quote:

there is no doubt in my mind that the pigs being fed walker meat will play a role. I have to assume it's tainted and slowly poisoning them.

quote:

It's not. Remember the Terminus people were eating other people and everyone is already infected with whatever it is causing this.

---

Do you remember the Terminus people losing their shite when Bob revealed to them that he had been bitten and they were eating tainted meat?

quote:

---

The biggest issue for me is lying about Maggie.

---

Negan searched the whole camp, no Maggie. They must have sent Maggie to Hilltop. If that's the case, then Rick and co. could have hid some of the guns at Hilltop. They would only have an inventory of the guns they possessed. Only a theory.

quote:

---

I doubt that. At that point they'd had to have seen someone die and reanimate without being bitten.

---

Then they would have know they were already eating tainted meat. You are making an assumption. Judging by their reaction to Bob, they were unaware. Basically, 99% of the people left probably have no clue how this is spread or why it happens to some and not others. Most assume that when you are bitten, you catch it and die. It appears that the death is actually caused much like being bitten by a Komodo dragon. The bacteria in their mouth is toxic.

Also have to wonder why nobody seems to have any real military equipment. The governor has a tank but that was it. Can nobody fly an Apache helicopter in this world? One Apache could take all of Negans people out. Hell even a couple tanks could and driving a tank isn't much different than driving a bulldozer.

---

I really think the best things here would be grenades, M18 Claymore mines or other mass damage ordinance easily deployed to a specific point.

Of course if Rick had them he'd use them to kill quail or for a Hilltop firework show.

I feel it's a way of getting to say "frick you" for that guy doing it. May be more to it, would seem suspicious if all of a sudden 15 guys came down with food poisoning, which in return may would send 30 more to the kingdom to raise hell.

i think they've showed the big morse code sign on the wall in rick's pad before. so they are either trying to make it obvious or its just something thats been hanging on the wall

if the theory is correct thats actually pretty clever writing

I really enjoyed this episode. I felt like it really showed how much of an a-hole Negan is. I like how he talks with a shite eating grin, he really makes you want to take him out.

I think Rick is just broken and not thinking straight and is doing everything in his power not to lose it and get everybody killed.

Dwight seems to be the type that makes sure he acts tough when Negan is around and when he is not around he is very conflicted

I have really enjoyed this season, even with all of the commercials (I fast forward through them)

Side note, I read some where that the reason they had Carl grow out his hair was to help with covering the eye for filming purposes. Something about making it easier to cover with a bandage.

Finally caught the episode.

I liked this episode, although I felt like the majority of it was a complete waste. Negan is weird for me. On one hand, I dig when he's on screen, and I think he's a great character. But on the other hand, I get tired of him REALLY fast.

I get what they were trying to do/show with this episode, but I felt like they could've done it in half the time and moved onto something else. Now we have an episode next week totally at the Hilltop. Every now and then this show lets its characters get a little too divided/strewn out and it wastes full episodes on each group instead of moving things forward as much as it could.

At some point, ammo has to be a concern. It's so fricking stupid for Michonne to be going out and wasting tons of ammo (we saw her shoot about ten rounds, so I assume she shot more than that overall) just for "practice."

I thought the burning of the mattresses was a nice touch. Shows that these dudes are mainly just dicks and that's about it.

Rick is totally broken. That sucks. I hope he comes out of it soon because this isn't the Rick that we love. This is farmer puss Rick at the prison.

And as much as I realize it could never happen for the sake of story, I feel like in a real scenario, most people would just open the gate, shoot Negan in the face, then open fire from above on all of his people and be done with this shite.


Also, this may seem weird that I noticed it, but Negan/JDM has no arse. Like at all. So much so that it's weird when I see him walking around.
