She was very attractive when she first appeared on the show with The Governor. Had a nice body. Then she had a baby and just went to shite.

Yeah, she was on the show all of 20 seconds before she immediately got knocked up and made the show deal with it. I hate actresses like that and have since the chick from Melrose Pllace won that lawsuit basically saying that shows just have to bend over backwards to deal with it and can't write their characters out of the show.

And she's never lost the weight. I guess the dyke fans like her a little frumpier, or maybe she's one of those "I'm a real woman" people.

Which makes his just walking in there by himself even dumber. What happens to the plan and the group if they just said "Alone? Kill" and just shot him on the spot?


I've said this for a while about the show...there are no consequences for major characters most of the time. Hell, not even minor ones a lot of times either. But everyone waltzes around like they are invincible and eventually that takes a toll.

Negan struts his shite and talks mad shite and absolutely deserves to be killed (from Rick and company's perspective), yet time and time again, he isn't. Rick strolls into the garbage peoples' place, no big deal. They won't kill him. It happened over and over with Glenn making stupid decisions or getting into shady situations...until finally he met his moment with Negan, which ironically had nothing to do with his decision-making.

There just aren't consequences. It's like the writers write from a perspective of "We can't/won't kill major characters, because they are too important" and then they write like that, instead of from an actual,. good storyt telling perspective. It's maddening.

But how do you balance that? If it went more logical in the way you insinuate, you either have to kill a ton of major characters every season or never really have characters make bad decisions or have any real threat of death, which would be fairly boring?

So now we have confirmed that the Sanctuary is surrounded by snipers, whom Rick says will "Shoot anybody that opens the doors." Well, where the frick were they when Negan and all the important higher-ups were standing out in the open taunting everybody when shite popped off?



Hell, where were they when Negen and the Rev went from the out-building into the main building.

Yes, they pretended to be Walkers...but..ONE was carrying Lucille and then all hell broke loose and they were fighting their way through the hoards.

Did none of the snipers see that commotion, train his scope on there (even just out of curiousity) and say "WTF...That looks like Negen!" and shoot his arse?



silliness

You wouldn't have to do either of those things, really. You just don't have people walking around like they know nothing will happen to them. Perfect example...Negan could've walked outside under some sort of cover. Or just talked through the door/in the doorway. He didn't have to be all out in the open when 20 people had assault rifles trained on him.

How many times did we see Glenn get into a situation that was left on some sort of cliffhanger where they made it seem like he was dead? Three? More? Eventually it just got tired because there were no consequences. That was one good thing about Negan originally, especially with Glenn....he promised consequences, and there were. But that was only initially. Now, he is the one that has no consequences. He can walk into any situation, no matter how much he should not have the upper hand, and he gets out of it easy peasy every single time.

It's tired and old. And the simple fix is that they can simply not write it that way. And you even allude to having characters not make bad decisions...Negan keeps making bad decision after bad decision because he is so overly cocky and invincible, and that takes away from the show drastically IMO.

Had TWD limited itself to a few seasons it probably could have been amazing television. Now it’s just AMC trying to figure out how much longer they can milk this shite before the ratings completely fall off.

Want to see the fall out from last week’s events ? Ah too bad here’s a filler episode to show you what Morgan has been up to

I can't believe Talking Dead is still a thing. I guess they can't very well end it and keep the show going.
